Yesterday afternoons contest between the
Washington and Boston clubs was far su-
perior to the morning affair. although the
visitors again won by the score OF TO 4
The batting was just hard enough to please
everybody, while the fielding was above
the ordinary, several sensational plays
cropping UP.
In the first inning Donovan came In on
a low fly from Selbach's bat and caught
the sphere about three inches from the
ground. Patsy was going at full speed. ana

This catch whetted the appetites or the
fans and the players went out 10 90

to the bat for the first time and after
receiving prolonged applause from the spec
tators, hit liner to left about foot from
the ground 1t was OF the sizzler sort. but
had not terrors for Collins. who held on to
the sphere and doubled up Donovan at
first This play robbed ONeill OF at least
a double and the Senators of rum out.
nevertheless the popular Jimmy was given
q great hand for his catch.
In the fourth inning Coughlin, Stahl ana

Doran. In the sixth Setback hit hot one

but Jake Stahl beat 1t down and threw the
ex-senator out at first. Patten covering
the sack.
These plays came up at about the right
intervals to prevent the local enthusiasts
getting gloomy over the fact that the
senators were being trimmed and made
them applaud in spite of themselves
Big Crowd on Hand.
With the big crowd that turned out in the
morning 1t was not thought that the at
tendance would go so high In the afternoon
On account of the locals being beaten. but
July a thousand more were on hand for the
second contest. All the seats in the two
wings were taken the crowd overlooking
INTO the field. while the grand stand was
almost filed. 1t was an orderly crowd, ana
everything passed off in the best of style.
The veteran Cyrus Young and Case Pat
ten were the opposing pitchers, and as the
players had on their batting clothes both
wirlers We're hit quite hard. the former for
ten and the latter for twelve safe bingles.
The hits of the Bostons were productive of
more runs, as they managed to bunch them
while the best the Senators could do was
two hits In one inning. Young would APP
parently take 1t easy and depend upon his
helders until one or more Senators got on
the bases, and then he would buckle down
to work. with the result that the side would
be retired without a run being scored. The
only two misplays of the game were wild
throws to first by Parent and Cassidy.
In the seventh inning Catcher Clarke was
given a severe spiking after completing a
brilliant play on Collins. The Boston man
ager had worked around to third on his
double and hit by Freeman. The latter
made a blum steal of second and Clarke
threw to Mccormick. Collins started home
as soon as the ball left Clarkes hand, but
Mccormick handled the assist quickly and
James was nailed at the plate. Collins slid
in feet first, and his spikes cut clean
clean through Clarke's shoes into the flesh.
Bill went down and out for a minute, but
quickly recovered and gamely finished out
the nine innings. Another spiking affair
doomed up In the next inning, when Cough
lin went into second feet first. his spikes
striking Parent the hand and cutting
him severely. the collision knocking the
ball out of the little shortstop's hand.
After washing the wound Parent resumed
work.
