NOTES OF THE GAMES.

When Ainsmith came TO the bat for
the first time this afternoon he was
heartily applauded by his former friends
of Lawrence, where he caught before Join
ing the Nationals. Then a committee
stepped forward and presented him with
a big bunch Of flowers. Ainsmith did the
usual thing after such presentations. He
whitfield on three wild ones. and then sat
down, while the 1900 people gave him a
sympathetic cheer. He looked good, and
Boston wishes that John T. Taylor had
looked nearer home for talent
The Nationals look 80 per cent stronger
than they did on their first two appear
ances here In Boston this year. Jimmy
McAleer has certainly done wonders with
the team.
Although the Nationals have a hard
Western trip ahead OF them, the general
opinion here IS that they should be able
to keep up the gait and beat out tNe
Maps for fifth place. At that. Cleveland
is going some. with Lajoie leading the
way in the hitting once more.
With Beckendorf and Ainsmith in line.
Charley Street is getting a welI-earned
rest. Beckendorf looks as good as any
catcher on the Detroit staff, and sur
prise is expressed that Jennings let him
go. Maybe it was in payment COR Dele

Tigers last year
II wouldn't have been bad idea. from
a box-office standpoint, TO have called to-

as there is no game tomorrow, and
the fans would have turned out in a big
number. AS more than four and one
half innings had been played, rain
checks would have been no good

suited for a water polo match than a
ball game. Every time a ball hit the
ground it was out Of commission until It
was dried out Dolly Gray. who had
been pitching a superb game up 20 that
time. couldn't get a thing on the ball
The first two men walked 70 first and
then a sacrifice bunt went safe and filed
the sacks, and two hits through Nc
Bride and Elberfeld. an error and a sac
rifice fly punched five runs for the Red
Sox. The hits were hits by courtesy Of
the wetness. They were easy chances
on a dry field, but the base lines were
so oozy that the fielders fell al over
themselves trying to get a quick start

Aleer benched Gray and sent a human

and there was no more scoring Joe

and kept the Nationals from scoring.
Easy for Nationals.
In the morning game it was Washing
ton that punched hits in the right
places.
With two Nationals gone in the fourth,
Mcbride caught a swift inshoot on the
elbow and painfully went 10 first Then
came the break. Elberfeld singled 10
left. putting Mcbride on second. and IN
glaub brought him home with single to
center. Beckendorf then brought Elber-
field home from second by a single to
left Walker struck out.
With one out in the first. KiIlifer
worked Hall for a pass. and then came
Conroy's home-run drive 10 the left field
stand.
IN the eighth the Red Sox scored.
There were two out when Speaker beat
out a little hit TO Elberfeld. Then Jake
Stahl managed 20 connect with the ball
for a triple to center. a long line hit
and Speaker scored. But Duffy Lewis

WOULD ABOLISH
TAX COLLECTOR
Several Councilman Think Con
tinuance of Office is Need
less Expence to City.

A resolution looking 10 the abolish
ment of the office of collector OF city
taxes will not improbably be presented
To the Council within the near future.
Sucn a resolution was presented at the
last session. but failed of confederation
in time to be presented TO the Legisla-
ture,-
Several councilmen are known to be
opposed to the continuance of the
office, notable among them Mr.. III. X.
Pollard. Jr., chairman of the finance
committee.
1t Is claimed by the opponents that
the title is MISSIONER in that the
city collector does not really collect,
but merely receives taxes from citi-
zens and then turns them over to the
city treasurer If citizens do not pay
of Their own accord, the city collector
turns over the accounts to the collec-
tor of delinquent taxes.
The office to which 80 much oppo~
sition is made is paid by the fee sys-
TEN. Last year the city collector re-
ceiyed s10.3sS.S1 in payment for re-
ceiving 1854, a.1.76 in taxes. In addi-
ton to his fees, the collector is sup
piled with an office, stationery supplies
and equipment by the city.
Several members of the Council are
OF the opinion that the entire work ef
the office could he done by the city
treasurer, provided the latter should be
given two or three additional clerks.
