The Bostons wound up their season In
Washington yesterday with an easy vic
tory over the Nationals. the score being
to 1. The game was started at 2 o'clock 10
allow the champions time to catch an early
train for home, and as a result there was
only meager crowd of enthusiasts on
hand to watch the contest.
EGdie Hughes. a brother of the Wash
ington pitcher was on the rubber for Bos-
ton, and he was so effective as to allow but
five hits. two coming together in the second
irning and earning the Nationals their only
run Hughes is tall. well-built young man
and his style resembles Brother Tom, the
most effective ball being the sharp breaker.
which Is also his brothers chief stock In
trade The veteran Young has evidently
been coaching Eddie. as he mixed his de-
livery up very cleverly yesterday, serving
speed to the batters who like slow ones and
lobbing the ball over to the big fellows
who can massacre fast ones. Over-conh-
dence may have had great deal to do
with the Nationals weak hitting, but not
withstanding the youngster deserves credit
foo his fine performance
Case Patten was on the rubber for the
Nationals for seven innings. and although
he possessed lots of speed he had nothing
that could fool the champions. Thirteen hits
for total of eighteen bases was the way
the Bostons lacet, out his curves.
Several pretty fielding plays were pulled
of by both teams. which kept the specta-
tor; interested in the one-sided battle. The
feature stunt was undoubtedly John An
dersous throw to the plate after catching
n long iy Chick Stahl was on third, with
one out, and the bases filled. when Grim
shaw sent high fly TO right. Anderson
goI under the ball in nice position. made
the catch and then laced the ball to Hey
den, as he knew Stahl would make try
to score As soon as the ball settled In An
derson was true as rifle, and with
IA fine burst of speed but the throw of An
dersons was as true as a rifle, and with
one bound the sphere went into Heyden' S
waiting paws and the runner was cut off in
an eyelash finish at the plate. When
Stahrs speed is considered, and the dis
lance the ball had to travel is taken into
consideration, the play was nothing II not
remarkable.
fiuelsman made fine catch of a short
fly In the eighth inning from Parents bat,
the big fellow running fully hundred feet
before getting his hands on the ball. An
other sensational play was catch by Col
Inns In the first inning, when he ran over
and bumped into the left field seats, cap
turing Hickman's high foul by stretching
in over the seats. The spectators were
quick to recognize the splendid efforts of
these men and applauded vigorously.
Neither side tailed in the first inning. but
IN the second the scoring started. After
Freeman had gone out at first Grimshaw
placed a safe one IN left. and then Ferris
struck out. Patten hit Criger and Pitcher
Hughes laced a long single into right, scor-
ing Grimshaw, Criger taking third. Bur-
kett followed with a single into left and

For Washington. Anderson went out,
short to first, and then Huelsman slammed
q long fly against the score board In left

liner to right center for two bases and
Huelsman raced home. That ended Wash

suit of a single by Freeman, fielder
choice. triple by Ferris and a long fly
ont TO Jones. Wolfe went on the rubber
in the last two innings, and although two
hits We're secured in the ninth, not another
run could be scored
