Boston met with . most inhcspitable
reception on its last visit to the Wash
ington campfire yesterday. The first
game went TO the home team by 70 =,
and in the second the Nationals welded
the calcimIne brush most effectively to
the extent Of 10 0.
Charley Smith IN the first game al
lowed Boston but six safeties. one OF
these was in tbs first inning, end two
more in the second, coupled with
CriEer's error, sent Unslaub across for
Boston's first run. Barrett beat out a
slow grounder in the third but was
left on third. Parent slashed liner 10

Tony Smiths OF Day.
Wasaington's helding was OF the kind
which surprised the Philadelphians on
the Nationals last visit to that city.
Tony Smith alone miscued. The little
shortstopper handed down several hard
chances, and slipped up on three more
easy ones. His errors figured IN bot.l
innings when Boston scored, and In the
eighth he was directly responsible for
Barreut's tally
Manager Mcclure found It necessary

Young replaced Glaze, and the Ma
tionals straightway took the veteran $
measure. The first i've up In tne sixth

second game for the Pilgrims. Two
triples. 4 double. and a single. nettcd
lost the youngster his job. Pruitt, who
pitched the last round OF the first game,
went in. end allowed four hits Tor the
remaining six innings.
Nuts for the Fans.
The heavy action in the third inning
developed after two were out. Milan
reached first on Shaw's error, stole sec

Delehanty's rOusing single tailed Gan

Steele was badly ratified, and jones
looked surprised when he pulled up on

out from the lumber in the neighbor-

The real answer TO the second. result
was ta!kenbergs Jwirling. The elon-
