ERRORS FIGURE IN RESULT
BY J. ED GRILLO.

Errors and timely hits by the Bostons
allowed them to win the morning game
by score of to 5, after ten innings
Of all sorts of base ball. Had Hughes
received the kind Of support he was en-
titled to the game would not have
gone over the regulation length, and
he would have been returned a winner
by a narrow margin. Hughes pitched
a splendid game of ball. but luck broke
against him. and in the closing innings
he gave way under the broiling sun
and Boston got to him for most of
their hits.
Cicotte. too, was hit hard and retired
after the locals had forged to the front
In the eighth. But this advantage.
though 1t was one OF two runs, was
shortlived, for Boston came back In the
ninth and tied the score, and then in
the tenth won the game with another
rally which netted two runs.
Had Kid Elberfeld. who batted for
Henry in the tenth. with two out and
second and third occupied. been able to
make base hit, the game would have
been pulled out Of the fire. for one run
had already been scored in this inning
So 1t was that the game really was not
over until the last man was retired. It
side, then the other, gained an advantage
but the two runs the visitors scored in the
tenth proved too much to overcome.
From the first three innings neither
side scored, both Hughes and Cicotte be-
ing effective. but in the fourth both broke
the ice. Boston started the tallyfng after
two were out in this inning. Hughes walk
Ing Wagner and Williams in succession
and Carrigan then lifted one into ,he
stands. which scored Wagner Cicotte
fouled out.
Nationals Take Lead.
In the locals half they forged to the
front With Lelivelt out Of the way Cess
Ter hit for a base. Mcbride struck out,
but Engel made a poor throw Of Cunning
ham's grounder. giving him life Henry
came along with a long hit after Cum
ningham had stolen second, and two runs
trotted home.
Boston did not get the score tied until
the seventh, when Lelivelt muffed Car
rigan's line drive. Cicotte sacrificed and
Yerkes' hir scored Cs-rigan. In the eighth
the Nationals apparently won the game,
scoring two runs. which seemed enough
to decide the day. but which proved not
enough. Milan and Conroy singled in
rapid succession and Lelivelt moved them
up with a sacrifice. Gessler looked too
dangerous. and he was purposely walked
and Pinch Mcbride upset Boston calcu-
lations by hitting clean. sending two runs
home. Cunningham and Henry, however.
failed to produce.
Boston tied matters up again in the
ninth. Carrigan got a life when Mcbride
fumbled. Gardner. batting for Cicotte,
hit to right for two bases. Hooper pop
ped up q foul fly. which Conroy caught
near the stand, but Hughes failed to
cover the plate. and Carrigan ran home
Yerkes singled. scoring Thoney, who ran
for Gardner, but no more runs were
scored in this inning.
The tenth proved disastrous. With one
down Williams singled and Carrigan
again doubled. Hall also hit for two
bases. and two runs came home, but
after Hooper got a scratch hit the next
TWO batters were retired.
In the locals half Conroy singled, but
Lelivelt flied out. Gessler was walked
and Mcbride famed. Schaefer batted for
Cunningham and popped up a little fly
to short left, which Wagner mufYed, Con-
roy scoring. Elberfeld batted for Henry,
but the best he could do was to send q
high fly to Wagner and the game was
over. The score:
