IL to and to g. The only cheering
part Of the entire afternoons matinet
was a fine show of bat music by oul
heroes in the nightcap, which, sad tc
relate, got them nothing but the shor
end Of the score.
Washington twirlers were Just made
for the Red Sox's sluggers. and gave g
fine open air performance for the benefit
of weak and disabled batting averages.
The first frolic was a gutta percha
massacre. Eighteen hits for a total OF
twenty-five bases was the Bean Brigade
portion. The lighter than air ball had
so much rubber in 1t during the third
round that it was whanged to every par,
OF the Florida avenue pasture. The
Red Sox gutta-perched 1t to their hearts
content, driving Dixie Walker and Steam
boat Bill Otey to the stable.
First Game Hopelessly Lost.
McAleers hopefuls never had the tiniest
little Iook-in during that u to defeat.
but in the second performance forty
seven kinds Of red scares were thrown
into the Donovan camp, and 1t looked
like the conflict would go into extra
innings. but II didn't.
A real classy showing by Fred Sherry,
who held the New Englanders safe after
they had massacred Walker and Otey, and
hard hitting by the youngsters. Henry
and Cunningham proved the only fea-
lures from a local standpoint for the
fans to sloat over.
In the nightcap the Nationals outbatted
and outfielded the visitors. but did not
get their hits at the right time. Dolly
Gray was a trihe unsteady. while Groom
pitched good enough ball TO win almost
any old kind of q ball game.
Washington knocked the underpinning
away from young Larry Pape in the sec
,ond game, but Collins was just good
enough TO stem the tide and keep his
teammates ahead of the home folks.
The Opening Battle.
McAleer used five pitchers in his ef-
forts to stop the Red Sox-Walker Otey,
Sherry, Gray, and Groom-but the Bos-
were III d BOTlSu ana re-
fused to be merciful.
The Red Sox swept the Nationals off
their feet in the first game. The scor-
ing started in the second. Engle opened
the inning by flying out to Milan. Wag-
ner singled to center, and Williams
caught one of Walkers speedy ones on
the arm. Nunamaker flied out to Milan
and Karger singled to left, filling the

In the next inning the ball was set roll
ling by Speaker with a clean single to
left. Lewis tore one off to center, just
after Speaker had stolen second, and the
latter ambled in with the fourth tally.
Engle sacrificed Lewis to second and
Wagner followed with a double into the
left field bleachers, scoring Lewis. Wag-
ner went to third on a wild pitch, and
McAleer called Walker out of the box
and sent in Bill Otey.
Williams found Otey for a short hit and
went to second on a wild pitch that
brought in Wagner. Otey walked Nuna-
bases. Street tried to catch Nunamaker
off second threw wild, and Williams came
in. By this time the crowd was in the
throes of deepest disgust. The slaughter
wasn't over, however. for Hooper came
through with a single to center, filling
the bases, and Yerkes responded to the
emergency with a double into left field,
scoring Nunamaker and Karger. and put
ting Hooper on third. With only one
out Speaker came up for his second time
at bat for the inning, and spanked out
double into right field, scoring Hooper
and Yerkes.
This ended Otey's brief career and
Sherry came in TO keep the game down
to legal limits. His start was good, as
he famed Lewis, and the best Engle
could do was fly out to Milan, ending the
massacre, with eight more tallies on the
score board.
Sherry worked well the rest of the
game, but the last Boston run was made
in the eighth. Yerkes singled and Speaker
followed with a hot one to right, sending
Yerkes to third, from where he scored
on Lewis long fly to Milan.
Washington was only dangerous twice
during the game and threatened to score
only in the seventh and ninth innings.
