BOSTON Mass. September THE Nc
CURES made il two yesterday. Washington
was not in the running at all in the first
game, when Case Patten was lambasted
but was kept in to the end, the locals get
ting men on the bases in every inning but
one and landing winners by a score of to
2 Big ICY" Young was batted harder by
far than is generally predicted OF him, as
the hits seldom go into double figures when
he Is IN the box. and then the runs OF him
were not made off the batting. In the sec
one game Falkenberg went into the box,
and had the Nationals played something
like base ball behind him the result might
have been different, but the work was not
OF very high character. Glaze was hit
harder than his rival and managed to get
away with the game more through good
luck than skill. Washington had eleven
men left on bases in the first game and
had men on the bases in every inning, while
IN but one inning did the locals fall to get
a man on bag.
After whole week of rain the rooters
thirsted for fine weather. and II was a
mighty throng that turned out to see the
double header. The immense tirst-base %
cent bleacher was just packed with HUI
manity. The games were run In admirable
fashion and the rare spectacle was Afforded
of the second game of a double-header
being over by quarter after .. This was
of the mOnotonous wait between the two
games. scarcely two minutes elapsing be-
fore Umpire Sheridan summoned the men
to the fray for the second game. This Is
thought to be a record-breaker for that
sort of thing.
Not Pleased With Milan.
Much curiosity was expressed to see the
new lights that Washington had to offer on
the ball field. The new outfeder, Milan.
did not make any kind of an impression as
a batsman. for he went out nine times
running and did not perch on base all
afternoon He handled himself finely In
the field and did not have so much to do at
that. Smith. at short. created a splendid
impression by his fielding. He, too failed
TO get In a safety. In his three times at
bat in the first game he was hit and worked
a pass and gave Ferris a difficult chance
and in the other game he walked and made
two sacrifices, SO he did not damage his
batting average to much of any extent.
O'Brien played model ball. his stops and
form was something the rooters could not
understand. for he accepted twelve chances
without sight of an error.
Block showed up well behind the bat, but
he did not get the ball out of the diamond.
1t took the old-timers TO whack the ball.
Ganley did great work in the first contest,
starting with a walk and hitting safely
four times and stealing second three times
on Criger. In the second game he failed to
hit Glaze at all Clymer, on the other hand,
went out five times in the first game and
made two hits in the second. Altizer played
grand game at first and his hitting was
the most consistent of his side, for ne made
two hits in the first game and three in the
second. Jack Warner right in the
first game. and it was his timely batting
that sent in both runs made by his side.
Had he succeeded as well in the second
game. when he was sent to bat for Block,
