SEASON UNDER WAY

in tally. A single, a sacrifice. and a
two-bagger in the sixth gave the Red
sox their first and only earned run OF
the day
Local Recruits Nervous.
While each team had number OF new
eomers from the minor leagues the strain
seemed to affect Cantillons recruits more
than it did the youngsters introduced by
Mcclure. Mcbride and Freeman were as
nervous as a pair of brides, both being
credited with errors at critical moments
But. at that, both men played great bali
at times, pulling off plays in the field that
drew liberal applause from the thousands
of spectators who, by the way, are con-
sidered about the fairest sort of fans
IN the circuit when it comes TO enduring
stupid plays by the Boston players, or
in applauding stellar stunts by visitors.
As fielders. both Freeman and Mcbride
look especially good. Freeman is a big
fellow who is remarkably fast consider
Ing his weight. and, judging from reports
from the exhibition games, as well as
from tO-days contest, he should have no
difficulty in covering first base In ac-
ceptable fashion. At short, Mcbride is
as active as kitten and covers acres
of ground
How well the new shortstop and the
new first baseman viii hit remains as
great problem as ever. Freeman fan
ned three times to-day, and went out on
a beunder to the pitcher. while Mcbride
struck out once. was thrown out from
short to first, and flied out 70 center.
Charley Street behind the bat did fair
ly well. and, although he whitfield the first
time up, he soaked out a double Wash
ington's first hit. on his second trip 10
the plate and the last time got as far
as second, when Thoney dropped his fly
to deep left
Although Cy Young's clever box work
enabled them to take to-day's game. the
Boston Red SoX do not look especially
Impressive. The team is made up largely
OF recruits Of the minors who have yet
10 make good in fast company.
