The Boston Americans won a game OF
many misplays from the Browns yesterday
by score of I to l.
In the field the locals had an off day and
they gave an up-to-date version of the
COMEDY OF Errors" that set the fans
groaning.
The roughness of the infield. however, had
something to do with the raw show put
up by the pets of McAleer Around that
portion of the field where Bobby Wallace
stands the hard. yellow clay dried up ard
cracked in large clumps, making it practi-
cally impossible to accurately judge a hard
hit grounder.
This roughness of the soil. together with
Wallaoe's Illness. resulted in the peerless
shortstop fumbiing two balls sent his way.
The other two errors charged to Wallace
resulted from his having TO make quick
throws.
Anderson, Mccormick and Padden also
had one error apiece. marrng their fielding
records. The eighth error was charged up
to Eddie Sievers. but was also of the ex-
cusable variety, the big southpaw slipping
in his effort to capture grounder.
In the field the "Beaneaters' played a
perfect game, not a single error being
charged against them. Their good show
ing was due to the fact that the Browns
kept popping their hits up in the air in
stead OF sliding them down along the rough
infielG.
GOOD WORK OF PITCHERS.
Sievers and Winters were the pitching Sc
lections In the matter of hits there was
very little difference in their effectiveness.
only six hits were made OF winters, while
Sievers was hit seven times. but the former
had much better support than the latter.
During the early part of the game neither
SIDE was able to score, although the locals
squeezed two errors.
In the sixth inning the Browns started
After they discovered themselves the Bos-
tons had scored three runs, enough to give
them the game with safe margin. The
men from Boston, however, forgot their
culture, and We're impolite enough to add
four runs to their total in the next two in
nings, making two tallies in each period.
Barring a one-hand catch by Ferris and
Winters stop of Anderson's red-hot liner in
the seventh inning. the game was devoid of
any brilliant fielding plays.
FERRISS'S oNE-HAND CATCH.
In the first inning Ferriss went out almost
to center field. and by mounting his famous
wheel at the top spoke managed to pull
Burketts trolley Lacquer out of the clouds
with one hand. The play was the fielding
feature of the day.
In the seventh period Anderson met one of
Winters's benders fairly on the nose and
drove it toward Winters. Before the ball
reached the Boston pitcher 1t made several
excavations where it hit the ground When
ii hit WinterS's mitt 1t melted the icicles
off his name, but he gamely held on to 1t
and threw Anderson out on first.
