Boston. Mass, May 2.-walter JOHN
son evened up his score with the REQ
Sox in great shape to-day by reversing
the result of his previous battle against
Southpaw Collins. 1t will be remembered
that his first game of the season was a
defeat by Boston with Collins in the box
To-day the same pitchers worked, but
Walter got sweet revenge by handing a
dose Of whltewash to Manager Dono-
vans crew
| The wind howled along Huntington
avenue to-day and players and specta-
tors wished for nine long innings that
they were in Kansas or any place else
than the bleak Huntington Avenue Parh
but in spite of the high wind that kept
the outfieid guessing. the fielding was
at times brilliant and the outer guards
men on both sides distinguished them
| selves.
| Milan. as usual. pulled down a seeming
| home run. robbing Clyde Engle to-da,
while Lelivelt, who had previously de-
prived Harry Hooper of a pair of Shoes
new hat. and everything that goes with
hit for the circuit. lost the same buncn
| of offerings himself through a circus
catch of the versatile Mr.. Speaker.
Score All Runs in Third.
| 1t took just one inning for Washington
| to down Boston. and in this one disas-
| trous session the visitors made all their
tallies. Jack Lelivslt was the candy kid,
| too. and his timely drive with two men
out took the smile off Collins face and
. caused CONSERVATION to reign in the ranks
of the Dos and Donts' back of third
base.
Lelivelt had fallen down in the first
inning and came back from the plate
after Collins had famed him breathing
vengence. but in the third be made good
by singing to right and sending in two
scores, and he got the other run himself
by taking daring chance to score and
getting away with 1t.
Boston outhit Washington, getting
seven hits to the Nationals SIX but
the Washington infield gave Johnson
superb support, and on two different oc-
casions killed an incipient batting rally.
Mcbride and Elberfeld were in the way
of everything. and one unassisted double
play by Elberfeld discouraged the dis
gusted home team.
The game was won and lost in the
third Street opened with a double. but
was caught standing up at third ION
Johnson's tap to Yerkes. Milan doubled
to right, but Walter was nailed between
third and home on Conroy's grounder to
Collins. Lelivelt was in the hole for
two strikes, but he managed to push
a single between Williams and Gardner.
to touch out Lelivelt at third on Elber-
fields grounder was unsuccessful and
both men were safe. Then came Tabas-
cos attempt to pilfer second and Gard
ner's wild throw home, which allowed
Lelivelt to tally.
Milan RObs EnE1e.
Lewis opened the second with double,
but was thrown out in trying to stretch
it into a triple. Milan then robbed Ensle
of a fine home run hit, and after this
the Sox never had a good chance untis
the sixth. 1t was Elberfeld that turned
the trick. Nunamaker doubled and went
to third on a sacrifice by Collins. Hooper
drove a savage smash toward third base
and ii loked like a double. but Elberfeld
was standing right in the way, and 1t
was an easy matter for him to step on
to third and double up Nunamaker. The
Nationals pulled off four double plays.
Mcbride taking part in three Of them.
