BOSTON. Mass, September 9.-Wash-
| ington lost a hard-luck game this after
noon to the Beaneaters when Tom Hughes
and Townsend took a balloon ascension in
| the ninth inning, when, with the score Z
| to in favor Of the visitors, Boston tied.
The crowd was frantic with delight during
the inning, and one of the most exciting
scenes seen on the grounds since the
worlds championship games were con-
tested, with over 1890 excited fans bel
lowing and waving hats in the air. &C.
Cured Townsend could hardly be blamed
for losing the contest on account of his
wildness, especially as he had no oppor-
tunity to warm up previous to going on the
slab. The game was free-hitting game
from the start. both pitchers being touched
up for many extra bases, but Hughes did
not allow much hitting to be done while
he had men on bases He was rather wild
nevertheless, and two of Boston's runs
We're due to this cause. In the third in
ming he could not control the ball for q
little, as he walked c. Stahl, then made a
balk and sent the center-fielder to third
on wild pitch. A long fly by Collins then
resulted in Stahl scoring.
Again In the fifth he walked Tame
hill and Burkett's triple scored Tannehill.
The second inning was the only one In
which Boston got more than one hit, ex-
ninth inning, when two triples in success
sion made things look gloomy.
Tannehill Touched Up.
Washington, on the other hand, found
Tannehills slow ones to their liking when
men were on the bases, and in the second
and fifth innings hits We're punched in
good style scoring three runs in each In
ming. In the second two doubles and one
friy 40
the fifth three singles were secured off
Tannehill. netting total of six runs. Four
earned runs was the total of the Nationals
in the first nine innings while Boston
would have only secured two with perfect
pitching and fielding.
Hickman played a good fielding game and
got in a timely single and on each of the
other times he went to bat except in the
first, when he famed, he met the ball
squarely on the nose Cassidy made the
star stop of the day, when he retired Parent

ball on the dead run back of second base
Anderson made sensational catch Off

of at least a three-bagger by getting the

helped out In the scoring in the second IN
ming, and his double In the eighth, with two
a.
ionals the seventh run. Stahl made but
one bad break at first. and when Boston
was tiefng up the score he appeared to be
almost as nervous as the fans, as he kept
walking from first to the pitchers box after
every ball was pitched. His batting was
big factor in the game, for in the second
inning he cleared the sacks of two men by
slashing triple along the right foul line
Burkett Batted Hard.
Burkett took the laurels for batting for
the Bostonians, as his two triples were of
the cleanest variety and his single was also
a pretty drive. Parent did some effective
batting, his triple in the ninth being the
undoing of Hughes. Stahl walked twice
during the game and Collins fell down bad
ly with the willow until the last inning.

Grimshaw played the best game for the
locals, as he got two beauty stops of wild
throws to first base, and his batting in the
