victory for the Grays. the Boston Ameri-
cans losing out by a to score. 1t is es-
timated that Chicks widow will be n
beneficiary 10 the extent Of $ai4o as the
result of the game, the attendance hav-
ing been about 5000. In addition the Grays
will be benefited not a little by the show
ing they made before the Boston critics.
They played an errorless game and OUT
batted the Boston Americans
For eight innings the contest was de-
void OF action and created very little
interest as II was purely pitchers
game. with very little action to enliven
IL. The Bostons started off I'm the first
inning with an unearned run and there
was no more scoring until Chadbourne.
the Providence left fielder. tied the game
in the ninth inning. with one down. with
q lusty wallop down to the flag pole for
a home run. Then the whole action OF
the game was changed.
Though the real hitting OF the game
was pontponed until the concluding In
ming, nearly every inning. especially when
Providence was in the field, was punctuat-
ed by brilliant and most enjoyable field
ing. oBth teams made hits in that final
inning, but Duffy's men made theirs In
better sequence and thereby gained tho
extra run that brought them the victory.
There was much spice-to Bostons finish.
for with two down and one run In, the
Pilgrims filled the bases; but Abstein
made a pretty scoop OF Jack knights fine
bid for a hit down the line and saved the
day for his team.
Providence put up an extraordinary
game In the field. playing the entire 16
innings without an error Boston also
played a clean game I'm the field. the only
patsnt error being a tumble by Freddie
Parent in left field early in the game.
Mort OF the fireworks were contributed
by the inf1elders. Mcconnell, the little
second baseman or the Grays. put up one
of the cieanest cut exhibitions. accepting
l3 chances, many of them difficult. Harry
LORD also played a fast and sure game.

Hoey's prospective Texas Lacquer In tho
1lth inning was a most surprising per-
formance Bob" Peterson. who caught
the entire game for Providence, showed
greatly improved form over anything
that ne ever did here In Boston. mailing
four men at second with n precision wor-
thy of Lou Criger in his palmiest days.
Hobe Ferris In the four innings In
which he played did some giit-edged field
ing. Both teams made hits I'm the final
inning by a marvellous one-handed stop.
Jack Hoey was a very busy man In the
outfield. and both he and Congalton con-
tributed fine running catches. wagner
was both alert and brilliant at short, RI
valling Mcconnell In the splendid han
ding OF throws at second Unglaub and

At tho bat Lord. Chadbourne. Clinton
and Peterson for Providence. and ung-
laub and Congalton for Boston. did the
best execution. The fans were especially
interested in the hitting OF Lord ana
Chadbourne. as they were looked upon as
future timber for the Boston team.
Manager Mcclure made frequent shifts
in his team using no bess than four
catchers and Ave pitchers, but when ia
the 10th inning IL looked as IL Jacobsen
could not stand the gan, Ralph Glaze
went In and nnished out the game. Duffy
made only one shift In his team, big Ed
Barry succeeding Clinton In the box after
fve innings. Clinton going to right In
place OF Donovan.
Clinton was found for only three hits
in his fvs innings. and the Bostons were
able TO bunch hits against Barry N only
two innings. The big southpaw looked
good until Boston's rally In the 10th. Cy
Young, Joe Harris and Pruitt pitched two
innings apiece successfully, holding their
opponents 10 n single hit each. Two hits
were made against Jacobsen one OF
equally successful until the Grays got
after him In the final inning.
Bostons run I'm the flrst was unearnec.
Clinton hit Hoey, the first man up. and
Parent neatly sacrificed to Lord. Unglaub

run with hit that burned the grass at
right Knight filed 10 Donovan.
Up to the time that Providence tied the
game I'm the ninth inning there were few

and then only after two were out. Boston
was equally unsuccessful, though IL look
cd as II Congalton might be sent across
the plate In the seventh inning. "Con"

two bases, because Chadbourne unwisely
tried 10 smother the ball. and Knights
sacrifice put him on third. but Mcconnell
made a beautiful stop OF Grimshaw's hard
Rrounder and Congalton was run down,
the next man going out on grounder TO
Mcconnell.
There was one down in Provldence's
ninth. when Chadbourne drove a liner to
right centre and circled the bases, while
Congaiton gave chase after the ball and
