another if Schaefer had not been caught

The Highlanders tied the score, but in
doing so exhibited about as much
stupidity on the bases as fat pigs.
Daniels began with a double and was
caught sound asleep by Hughes at
second. Fitzgerald was out, and Hart
zell hit safely. He should have been out
stealing, but Cunningham made a
square muf of the catchers throw.
Cree raped beautiful triple TO left

certain death at the plate. So double,
q single and a triple Melted but
solitary run. That looked good for
Washington In the second Mcbride

bingham sacrificed. Henry was tielded
out by Chase, Mcbride had practically
stolen home when Hughes helped him
along by a cleaL hit 10 left. Milan fol-

struck out. In the third Elberfeld and
Lelivelt made clean singles, and Walker
q beautiful three-bagger to center,
which sent both of them in. That end

by Elberfeld, but it was as good as

inning and he might as well have picked
anybody else, for Gray promptly pro

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, Mass, June 24-What prom
ises to be the finest base ball park in
the world Will be located in Boston next
year. and ii will be the property of the
Boston American Base Ball Club
The park, which will cost a large
amount of money. fortune in fact, will
be the browning achievement in the base
ball life of Mr.. Taylor.
Land has already been purchased in
the fashionable bay district 1t is in
what is known as the "Fenway" and the
surroundings will be far superior to that
which have lcssened the value of the
park.
Plans. which have been styled tentative
be ready for occupancy next season. 1t
is not believed that the plans will he
changed, but that they will stand ard the
plants erected from them.
The plans call for a modern grandstand
which will be built of cement and full
fireproof Every sort of a convenience
will be installed and it will be the effort
of the management 10 cater to the com
fort of the patrons. An effort has been
made TO learn what can be installed which
will provide for the public's comfort, and
no expense will be spared.
The seating capacity will be increased
by number of thousands over the
pacity of the present grounds, and it is
believed that the largest crowds will be
cared for without the need of throwing
open the field
The lease on the old grounds expires
this year. and as the railroad company
which owns the land needs the property
President Taylor spent considerable time
In looking around for a suitable location.
The price of the land acquired in the
Back Bay district was high, but as the
sport-loving public has been game here.
il was decided to risk the investment and
erect the plant. which il is believed will
be unexcelled.
The quarters of the players will be one
of .the show places. Everything con-
ducive to the care and requirements Of
trained athletes will be installed and suit
able appliances will be on hand at all
times.

Efforts to build up winning team IN
Washington will have to be made along
entirely different lines from methods
which have been in vogue here for many
wears. Washington is ripe for team
made up largely of youngsters. The fact
that many veterans have been tried here
and have failed to improve the team is
responsible for this condition. Then, too.
there is the glaring illustration in the
success of teams like Philadelphia New
York. Boston and the st. Louis Cardinals.
Young players who few years ago We're
unheard Of have made these teams sue

up any seasoned veterans. True. Connie
Mack has some old heads. but these

Two games next Tuesday johnson
probably will pitch in one of the games.
The Nationals just at present seem 70
be playing apprehensive base bah. They
go around like a man who is trying To
find the vinegar barrel in the cellar in
the dark. He knows there are low
rafters and doesn't want to bump his
head into one. The Washingtons seem
10 be certain that there are low bridges
on the way. and they play as if they ex-
pect TO hit them.
Daniels. Hartsell and Cree did the bulk
of the batting for the Highlanders.
Daniels did the bulk of the bad base
running.
Cunningham has not made hit since
he has been here this time. He is one
of the disappointments of this year. for
when he played with Washington i'm lfo
on the last trip 10 this city he certainly
looked a promising young second base
man. Doesn't seem to have any trouble
except that he just naturally can't con-
meet with the ball hard enough TO make
it go safe.
Washington fell down hard against
Brockett, who pitched on little else than
his nerve sherry must not have thought
he had much of that for he hit
safely when the other fellows couldn't.
Schaefer has taken the games very
seriously, much to the great disappoint-
ment of the fans in right field. How
can they expect me to be anything hut
sad when / am playing against a man
like Chase" remarked the comedian.
Il am in receipt of an anonymous let
ter containing more or less cuss words
advising me to get shortstop who can
field, run and hit said McAleer. III
that man will produce the shortstop will
make IT an object for him not to swear

In the meantime E1berfeld, just as ag-
gressive and as peppery as ever, played
as IL the Washingtons were within one
game of the pennant and only needed to
beat New York to win IL. You couldn't
buster him away from third base IL you
ran in with a garden rake sticking out
of the sole of your shoe.
Hartzell tried very hard to step on the
toes of Ainsmith when he was attempt
ing to make the home end of a double

other. New York fans don't like il, and
