BOSTON TEAM AGAIN
PLAYS SCRAPPY GAME
buck Freeman, Once a
Statesman, Lines Out a
Home Run. BY Far the
Longest Hit of the Season
on Home Grounds.

Boston played a double-h header yester-
day afternoon. the former team win
ming the first game I to 0 and losing she
second to l. From every viewpoint
the first contest was by far the better
game of the two.
Cy Young and Abe Wilson were the
opposing pitchers in the initial game,
and 1t was a battle between them from
start to finish. with the honors in favor
of the abbreviated Senator
"Abe" Was Always at"
The hard hitting and fast fielding
Beaneaters were simply at Wilson's
mercy from first to last He was al
ways the master OF the situation. and
was never in danger.
The fielding of both mines was fast,
clean. and snappy. and selbach's catch
OF Parents foul fly in the ninth, re-
firing the side, was a fitting climax TO
a brilliant game.
In the second game Dunkle and
Hughes occupied the slab, and it was
all Hughes. Long Tom" let the Sen
ators down with seven hits, while Big
Ed" was touched up for nine bingles.
Freeman's Swat.
Freeman's home run drive over the
right center held fence was the hardest
swat Of the season seen on the local
field. The ball first hit the top OF the
fence and then bounded over, much to
the disgust of Lee and the 1925 specta-
tors present.

against them in this game. and their
work was at times amateurish in the
extreme.
