Sterrett Does Well.

Boston, June 29.-Playlng an uncanny
brand Of baseball, the New York Yankees
went down to their usual beating before
the Boston Red Sox in both games Of a
double-header here this afternoon. while
fully twenty-five thousand persons looked
on, some with a feeling Of pity at the
spectacle before them, others with wild
glee In the fact that the home team was
keeping pace with the rampant White Ele-
.phant, which was busy defeating the sena-
tors in a bitter fight at the capital.
The first game, or rather farce, was won
by Boston by the good and sufficient score
Of 10 to 6. II took so long for the Yankees
to retire the home team In the first meet
ing that the second was called on account
Of darkness in the seventh inning. when
the score stood to o. Boston has now
won thirteen games from New York and
has yet to lose a game TO them.
Through some freak of chance the Yam
KEGS neglected to make an error in the
second game, but as It lasted only seven
innings the players felt they had not had
a lalr CEdnct. IN llle opening ANAL INV
ever, they lost no opportunity to score
bungles galore. Hal Chase, who persists In
the belief that he IS a second baseman OF
the highest order, again covered that sack.
lie made three of the teams seven errors.
I'm with you, Hal" chirped Maloney,
Stump Street and quinn at various times,
and each clipped In with an error. Boston,
in tho mean time, played real baseball and
made no errors until the second game,
when Larry Gardner fell from grace.
While the Yankees were spiling errors
all over the atmosphere IN the initial con-
test Jack Quinn was on the mound pitcn-
ing his level best quinn IS a nice sort Of
a fellow, and the Red Sox were glad 10
see him SO glad were they that Quinn
was all fused up. He put the ball right
over the plate, and the battCrs put it all
over the lot until twenty-one hits were
registered These were 80 we'll punched
that nine runs were scored in the first three
Innings, and thereafter the Red sox just
coasted along, taking the extra four runs
more because they were thrust upon them
than through any real need or desire for
them.
For three innings Buck O'Brien held
the Yankees i'm the hollow OF his hand, but
when he let down for moment they hit
him freely. Then when he wanted to tight
en- Up he found that he couldn't and Papo
was called in to pul an end to the affair.
Joe Wood pitched the second game for
Boston. That ia Itself Is sufficient TO ac-
count for the loss Of almost any game by
tho Yankees. Wood had never pitched bet
ter during the season. lie let the Yankees
down with one hit, a single BY Sterrett. but
that was al. they We're able to accomplish
from him lie walked two batters and
Gardner's error allowed another man to
get on, but none got as far as third ana
the plate was never IN danger
Thompson was on the rubber for New
York, and he IL not a mystery. The Sox
wnalcd the ball for four hits In the two
innings ne worked, and piled up three
runs Roy Fisher was next IN order, and
no was no better.
More misfortune befel the Yankees when
Birdie Cree was put out Of the game.
Russell Ford took lis place, and while he
did we'll under the circumstances, he IS far
from being good outnelIcr. Sterrctt, the
former Princeton catcher, played first base
Tor the Yankees. and his work was the one
rcdccmiug feature OF the games lie made
three hits In TWO games, and wac all over
tAc field, handling himself Ike IL real ball

Tho score follows:
