National League Clubs Standing.

The BOSTON club under the leadership OF
Robert JTnglaub. made it's first appearance
of the season in Washington yesterday
and defeated the Nationals by the score
of 3 to o. 1t was a pitchers battle, the
almost perfect fielding of the visitors ana
the grand pitching of the veteran W
Young bringing about the whitewasn.
Cy Young-has lost one game to the WASH
ington club in something like six years,
and in yesterdays game he proved con-
cIusively that he has the Indian sign"
on the locals. He held the Nationals down
TO four scattering hits in as many innings,
and he seemed unhitable after the Locals
got a man on the bases. Three of the
four hits were hard drives good for two
bases. but the old man simply let out
kink in his mighty pitching arm at these
points and the following batsmen went
down before his curves like wheat before
q scythe He gave one base on balls. hit
one batter had wild pitch and struck out
five of the locals. but the three mishaps
charged against Young did not contribute
a run He had all his old-time speed and
control and looked yesterday as good as
he did ten years ago when at his best
Falkenberg also performed WELL but one
of his bases on balls contributed run
and a wild pitch another. Three hits were
all the Boston lads could get OF his de-
livery one in each Of the first trio OF
innings and In the last five there was
nothing made by the visitors sticks that
in any way near resembled safe hit.
With his never say die" spirit. Manager
Cantillon put up Hickman in the eighth
Lining to bat for Falkenberg In the hopes
that a batting rally might be started.
which brought about the tall twirler's re-
tirement. and Case Patten pitched the last
inning in good form. As an Illustration OF
Falkenbergs luck, Collins reached frst In
the sixth inning stole second and scored
from that bag when he pulled OF his wild
pitch. The ball was detected by Warner
and bounded over to the local players
bench. being lost entirely by the catcher,
and before 1t could be recovered Collins
had dashed home. A quick grasping of
the situation by Falkenberg or Anderson
might have held Collins at third. but they
stood spellbound while Warner was
looking all around trying to locate the
sphere. Warner is not fast man. and
when he finally ran over to where the ball
was Collins was so near home that his
throw to Falkenberg was just about four
steps too late.
Boston got away well at the start. hang
ing up one run in the first inning. Sullivan
negotiated a base on balls and was quickly
sacrificed to second by Parent. Unglaub
followed with a roller to short. and by good
sprinting managed to beat Perrine's throw
TO Anderson. Sullivan going to third. Col
Inns then hit bounder to Schlafy, and
While he was being put out at first Sullivan

nice single. and Wagner went to third
Young then tried the double steal. and on
the throw down Wagner dashed for home
and made 1t by a close shave on account of
Perrnes return throw to Warner being a
little too high.
The third and last run for Boston devel-
oped in the sixth inning. Collins reached
first in safety, as Anderson dropped Per-
rnes assist on the formers bounder. Grim

cal catcher. Falkenberg then pulled Off his
wild pitch. as spoken OF above, and Col
Inns dashed over the plate before the ball
could be recovered.
The locals looked dangerous in only one
inning-the second-when Anderson led off
with a long double over Parents head in
left: but Altizer died foul fly. well
taken by Collins. and Jones and Perrine
struck out. After that Washingtons hits
were made with one or more out and il
