briefest moment. and that is why yester-
days double-header with the Bostontes

crowded National Park to the number of
about 3 800 All pitchers looked alike to
the local stick-swingers. and Messrs. Glaze,
Cy Young Prutt and Steele veteran and
yOuugS' ers were pounded unmercHul!Y.
Result First game. Nationals. 3, Boston.

As for the second figures in those two

Boston Scored First
The visitors got start in the first game
that loomed up pretty big for a while. Bos-
ton began its half of the second inning OF
this game by sending Parent to the bat,
but that gentleman could do no better than
get out through the assistance OF T. Smith
and Altizer. Unglaub however. was more
fortunate and landed safely on first on a
poor throw by Tony Smith ON top Of THIS
Ferris singled to center. and when the ball
got away from Jones all hands slid along
one base more. An attempt by Knight re-
suited only in the throwing out OF tnglaub
at the plate by Pitcher Smith. On another
sad throw to first by I. Smith CrIger was
safe and Ferris scored. That ended things
in that inning. as Glaze was an easy out.
The next happening happened in the sixth
inning. and Pitcher {. Smith was the be-
ginning thereof. He smashed one safely
into center and Milan marched up behind
him and did the same into right held.
Boston began to soar; for when Ganley

ball fast enough to catch him. and the
bases were full. Then it was goodbye,

the eighth. A hard drive by Barrett, after

him out at first. Sullivan singled to cen
