slipping a to l defeat over the Boston
Red Sox in the concrete coliseum.
1t was Walter johnson in the box
against New England Lacquer named
Bushelman aud Johnson never had to
extend himself. The BED SOX touched
him up right lively at the start, and
in the second inning managed to send
runner to third. After that the Bean
Brigade never had a look tDI and only
twice did they Jew the scehery around
second base.
Bushelman also looked mighty good.
He had a nightmare OF a first inning,
when the home folks collected five runs
without the aid of a hit but when this
was out of his system and he was able
to locate the plate the Nationals couldn't
touch him until the eighth round. when
a brisk swat rally added a pair of TALES
The pastime was absolutely featureless,
but interesting to some extent from
local standpoint. as two new faces ap-
peared in the Washington line-up-TOm
Long. the Gadsen recruit, was showed
into right field, and Ray Morgan held
down his first full game at third base
on the local hall yard.
Owing to the suEgy condition Of the

Longs speed. hut he created a favor
able impression, driving in the first run
with ly to deep right field. Later he
connected for A clean single and easily
captured his only fly in the field.

The Nationals first chapter reminded
US # one OF those merry-cU-rounds al
county fair. Rushelman uncorked n bar
lcl of speed and had his catcher jumping
in All directions after weird shoots.
Milan watched four had ones sail ny.
and SChaefer did likewise. Elherfeld
drew three halls in succession. and then

From the second until the eighth in

sharp breaking curve with deadly effect.
In the eighth. the home folks started a
little batting rally. Spartacus Walker
beat out bunt Mcbride singled to left.
Morgan pumped a beauty into right field,
sending home Walker. Street singled,
and when Walter Johnson hit into a
double play Mcbride counted.
