BOSTON. Mass, July 4.-For the first
time i'm many moons we had a game at the
Huntington avenue grounds yesterday aft
ernoou in which the Bostons were compar-
Atively easy In their minds after the second
inning. Their mental attitude was per-
fectly evident. although they did not by
any means take chances by letting up.
They played fast but confident ball just as
boon things came their way. A bunch
Ing OF hits, together with costly errors in
the second inning and three straight hits
In the fifth gave the Bostons their total Of
six runs for the game. while Washington
scored only two runs on a peculiar combi-
nation which came in the eighth inning.
George Winter was on the firing line for
Boston. and up to the eighth inning only
three Washingtonians reached first base
two on hits and one on a force out, and
Townsend, with his double In the third, was
the only man to reach second. Winter had
his spit ball working most elusively, and he
I'm part paid back the Nationals for beating
him early in the season on only one hit.
Townsend was effective. except in the two
Innings in which Boston scored.
Winter owed much to his fielders espe-
cialiy 10 Collins and Parent, who were both
busy and extremely brilliant. Collins
pounced upon several fast ones that seemed
bound for the left-field fence corner. They
were hair-raising stops. The marvel was
that he came up with the ball each time
clearly and got it over to first ahead of
the runner. Many third basemen have a
habit of kissing their hands to hits of that
kind. Anderson and Cassidy were his vic
Tins on two of these plays Parents best
work was handling slow hits while on the
dead run to Unglaub, and Grimshaw for his
good pickup OF low throw, deserves men,
tion. Winter did the best hitting of the
game. and his two hits counted. Hill. Null
len and Anderson carried of the fielding
donors for Washington.
Boston scored four runs In the second
inning Grimshaw started the fun with a
rafting grounder past second. Mullen
made great try, but could not hold the
ball. and booted it out of the way. so that
Grim" was safe. Jimmy Collins followed
with a sacrifice and Cnglaub knocked a
high fly into the left field corner. which
1uelSman muffed. Grimshaw scored and
Inglaub took two bases. Criger followed
with terrific drive to right center. which
looked good for a home run, but Charley
Zones got his hands on the ball after a very
long run. but could not hold 1t. Unglaub
was held at third. but Crlger took two
bases. George Winter added his mite with
D grounder toward left, which Cassidy could
only block. Unglaub scored. and Criger
Followed suit when Winter stole second and
kept on 10 third on Kittredge's wild throw.
Belbach's long fly TO Jones brought Winter
home with the fourth run.
There was nothing doing again until the
hfth inning. when Winter started off with
4 hne hit past second and by dashing run
hing reached third on Selbach's safe fungo
10 short. Setback went to second on the
attempt TO mail" Winter at third. Then
Freddie Parent was "Johnnie-on- the-spot''
with a smashing drive past second, scoring
both runs. Freddie tried TO make two
bases on the throw-in. but was nailed. The
next two men went out on line flies.
Huelsman had struck out when the Ma
tIOuals broke into the game In the eighth
inning. Mullen led the way with a hard
grOUnder 10 center and was safe at second
on Cassidy's grounder to Grimshaw, be-
cause the latter lobbed the ball to Parent
instead of cutting loose. The spit ball
seemed TO bother Criger Just here and

scored on Hittredge's out. Parent to Grim

another passed ball. Townsend was out on
