BOSTON WINDS UP
WITH A VICTORY
Defeats Nationals, 3 to |, in
Hard Ten-Inning
Contest.

The Nationals and Red Sox battled
for ten innings yesterday and the latter
finally got the verdict by the score of
3 to /. Both sides played almost perfect
ball in the field, bait the Bostons, who
had been stinging the sphere from the
fourth inning on, finally punched four of
the bingles in the tenth inning and
forced enough runs over the rubber to
win out.
Manager. Lake sprang new twirler
on the Washington fans in the person
of kid" Pape. recently secured from
Milwaukee. The youngster performed
nicely, his easy delivery being a great
puzzle to the local batters. six scattered
hits being the best they could do in ten
innings.
Dolly Gray was on the rubber for the
innings. but he perceptibly weakened In
the tenth and lost his battle.
Boston First to Show.
Neither side could connect with the
home plate for five innings. but in the
sixth, the Red Sox broke the ice with
one run. Niles was given a pass and
Lord hit a bounder to deep short that
eluded Yohe. Mcbride dashed over.
gathered in the sphere and seeing Niles
trying for third, whipped the ball to
singled along the left-field foul line and
when Lord discovered the fact that Leli-
welt was 1oafing on his job he continued
on home. instead of stopping at third,
and made 1t by a step.
Washington tied 1t up In the seventh
and aroused the dropping spirits of the
throng in the stands. Lelivelt opened
with single to left and Yohe pushed
him to second with a sacrifice roller to
Stahl. Miller bunted and on Pape's fum-
BILE, Lelivelt scampered to third. Nc
Bride then sent slow roller to short and
while he was being put out at first.
Lelivelt dashed over the rubber.
Then Came the Deluge.
Two more innings were hotly contested
without result and then came the tenth
and wind up. Lord opened with double
to left. Speaker soaked a double over MIL
ler's head. Lord had to wait until he
saw the ball land safe and then started
for the plate. Miller tossed perfectly to
Mcbride and George made a sensational
throw to Street and Lord was out by a
yard. DOC" Gessler then came up for
the first time. having been pushed into
the game by Hooper's retirement, and
keeping up his reputation as a slugger,
lined fly into center that sent Speaker
over the rubber. French died on a roller
to Gray and Stahl was passed. Midget
left and Gessler came home.
For Washington, Schaefer batted for
Street and popped to Lord. Milan went
up for Gray and beat out bunt. Con-
to Mcconnell and killifer was called out
on strikes.
Following is the official score of the

SAN FRANCISCO, September TO-
Heavyweight Champion Jack johnson
outboxed, outfought and outgeneraled Al
Kalfman in tame ten-round bout In
Coffroth's Mission street arena yesterday
afternoon. No public decision was rem
dered by Referee Eddie Smith. A clause
in the articles of agreement called for a
draw verdict in case both principals were
on their feet at the conclusion of the ex-
hibition. To the newspaper men Smith
declared that in his opinion johnson
would have clearly been entitled to a
favorable decision. had one been permit
ted.
San Francisco never warmed up to the
fight. Public sentiment seemed against
it from the time 1t was announced as a
ten-round affair with no decision. Where
finish fights are tolerated and where moth
ing less than twenty rounds Is rarely
attempted and even then with decisions.
the public apparently feared being vic
timized
This feeling may have accounted for
the dearth of betting. the scant attend
ance and Johnson's Indifferent showing
The champion showed visible signs of
lax training. He was fat and appeared
slower than usual. With another than
Kaufman this lack Of speed would un-
doubtedly have been greatly intensified.
But the blacksmith, a numbering awk-
ward fellow, was so painfully deliberate
in his movements that at times the col
ored man seemed actually speedy.
Kaufman Only a Target.
! The slow Kaufman was mark for
Johnson. The white man seemed to have
a most painful task in finding his dusky
opponent half the time. Johnson stung
his adversary with wicked left jabs till
he had Kaufman almost blind at times.
He worked a vicious right uppercut to
good effect every time the pair came to
close quarters. Yet his work did not i'm
press the spectators. 1t was not the work
one would expect from the champion of
all champions.
Johnson never once had Kaufman In
trouble, never once rocked him nor
threatened to put him off his feet. He
had plenty OF openings, for throughout
| the greater portion Of the milling Kauf-
| man seemed a child in his hands. Either
Johnson could not or would not punish
| his white antagonist severely. He didn't
act like one afraid of his man. But he
worked cautiously, painfully so. 1t may
| have been the attitude of the onloOkers.
who sided with Kaufman from his first
appearance. It may have been the va
cant seats staring at a champion Of the
| world. egotistical in the extreme. It may
have been a wholesome respect for the
boasted Wallop kaufman Is supposed to
| carry In either init. 1t may have been
one and all of these, but Johnson's exit
| bition was a keen disappointment.
| If he has the punch capable of putting
Kaufman away, Johnson failed dismally
to show it to Californians. Kaufman is
| hard man to put away, 1t Is true. Yet
| in his enthusiasm to connect with the
shifty negro Kaufman let himself open to
| JohnsOn's right time and time again. And
Though Johnson connected his blows fell
| from Kaufman with as little apparent ef-
feet as hail.

DOC aEssLER JOINS NATIONALS
Figures in Even Trade Wherein
Pitcher Smith Goes to Boston.

The deal whereby Charley Smith goes
to Boston in exchange for Outfielder
Doc" Gessler. as outlined in last even
ings Star. was finally agreed up on at
o'clock last evening. The local people
were willing to make straight trade.
but the Boston owner held out for some
thing like $3.50 additional. Manager
Cantillon refused to give up any cash
and President Taylor finally decided to
make an even trade of 1t. Smith went
over to Philadelphia this morning to join
the Bostons, while Gessler moved his be-
longings over to the Riggs House. camp
ing in an adjoining room to that occupied
by Marse Joe.
Charley Smith has been with the
Washington three years and in all that
time has been an .'ih and outer" AT
many different times Manager Cantillon
has been on the point of trading or re-
leasing Smith, and then he would go in
and pitch game that would startle
everybody with its brilliancy. This sea-
son Smith has gone backward some,
will help the Bostons a great deal.
DOC" Gessler has always been a star
in this city, and many ''fans'' consider
him q wonder when 1t comes to sticking.
To keep up this consistency DOC" went
to the bat only once yesterday, but it
was enough to break up and win the
game for the Bostons. Gessler is a
splendid fielder, fast on his feet and
the fact that he has been hugging the
three-hundred mark all season demon
strates that he can hit in other cities as
well as in this. He Is such a good man
that President Noyes and Manager Can
tillon would have given up the extra
$500 demanded with Smith but for the
TACT that he Is thinking seriously of quit
ting base ball for good at the end of this
season. So many ball players quit in
the fall of the year and then show up in
the spring that the local authorities de-
cfded to take a chance on Gessler. Smith,
with his cold bloodedness. was Of little
use to Washington, and little will be lost
In him, but it Is to be hoped that doc"
renigs on his decision to quit the game.
