finely in the sixth inning. He gave three
passes. but only one man reached second
off him, and he then only after two hands
were out. He gave two of his passes in the
second Inning, but they cost nothing. Kit
tredge gave him superb support. and the
veteran catcher was never in better humor.
both in his field and his hitting, for he had
perfect picnic.
Boston first tried Ed Hughes. and Wash
ington drove him back whence he came
before inning had gone by. Then 1t
was Gibson to the rescue, and he was
treated even worse than his predecessor,
for he got an awful drubbing in the sec
ond inning. when ten men went to the bat
and scored six runs on seven hits. two OF
them doubles, and Falkenberg registered
the first and last out, striking out both
times The crowd yelled at Gibson worse
than they did at poor Hughes. but he was
kept in to take his medicine. as the other
pitchers were In worse shape than ne.

Nationals on Their Toes.
On the other hand the Nationals played
decidedly better than in the first game, and
grabbed about everything that came their
way Fine plays were made at the very
send-off by Hickman Of a hot drive off Bur-
kett and Mil off Parent, and in the second
inning Falkenberg made a fine assist off
Owens In the fourth C. Stahl of Boston
cracked a hot one toward left, and CASSIDY
got in its way in grand style and headed
off the runner, much to the disgust or the
BoStonian who did not relish in the least
this cold-blooded highway robbery. Nine of
the twenty-one outs off Falkenberg were on
fly attempts and of these seven in the last
three innings. After the second inning the
wholesale scoring of the Nationals ceased,
but they added four more, two of them on
homers of Stahf and Nil. Cassidy. Stahl
and Kittredge fattened their batting per
Centages in fine style. Falkenberg was the
only one Of his side who got no hits to his
credit, and everybody else got two, with the
exception of "Hick," and he twice sacrificed
in good style, and would have beaten his
first bunt only for the fact that he slipped
in trying to beat the ball.
No doubt the folks at home would like to
know just how it was that the Nationals
did their wholesale scoring, so it is here
given for their edification: Mil got a pass
and went all the way home on Cassidy
double. fine running being necessary. Hick-
man sacrificed. and Anderson drove beyond
Burkett for three bags, scoring Cassidy.
Stahl doubled to right, scoring Anderson,
and Stanley singled to center and Stahl reg
istered the fourth run of the inning
Then Gibson took the place of Hughes
and prevented further scoring-for a minute
or so. In the second the Nationals broke
loose again. Falkenberg famed. but Mil
singled to center. and trotted to third on
Cassidys hit to right scoring on Hickmans
hit to center. which put Cassidy on third.
Anderson went out to Burkett and Cassidy
scored. HueiSman hit fly Stahl could have
taken, but Parent went for 1t and missed It.
and seeing second uncovered Huelsman ran
there. Stahl then cracked a safe one to
right. and Hickman and Huelsman scored.
Stanley doubled to right and Kttredge fol-
lowed with a double to center and both
Stahl and Stanley came over the rubber
