From Cleveland.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Mass, April IL
Connie Mack and his triumphant
band of Athletics left Boston to-
night with two straight games
tucked under their belts, the score
OF today's game standing 5 to !
against the Red Sox. The game
was played in a field of mud,
which made the work of both
teams very slow and many hits
were cut short because of this rea-
son. Both teams started by bang
ing out four runs in the opening
inning. In this round the Sox
hammered Coombs and Pennocn
from the mound. Both were as
wild as hawks and Connie Mack
ordered Eddie Plank to the box
to stave off defeat. Eddie was
equal to his task and held the Sox
scoreless for the remainder of the
game.
The game was won in the third
when Collins laid down a single,
stole second, moved to third on
Bakers infeld out, and scored
when Wagner's throw came too
late to catch him. From then on
it was a pitchers battle between
Plank and Leonard. Dutch Leon
ard took Bedient's place on the
firing line in the second inning.
and his slow benders fooled the
Philadelphians, and he was the
first pitcher to get a hand from
the crowd. He struck out Plank
and Murphy and forced Oldring
to pop to Wagner in the second
inning.
Plank also held the Sox scoreiess in the
second. although Speaker managed to
scratch an infield hit and steal second
Hooper famed and Baker threw out
Yerkes ahead Of Speaker. Lewis slammed
q long drive to center field, which looked
good when 1t was hit. but .,furphy waited
under 1t to the Disguised surprise OF the
crowd The Athletics squeezed across a
run in the third that won the game for
them on Collins single and his steal to
second, and he moved to third on Bakers
infield out and came home on Wagner's
error.
With two out in the ninth, Collins lifted
q three-bagger way over Hooper's head.
but was left on the third corner when
Duffy Lewis. climbing up the left field

long drive.

they counted for runs, while Adams

local product, after Fromme had been

these three being timely and we'll placed.

of next week will see the opening of the
Virginia League season. President Boat
wright has chosen his list of umpires.
and the arrangements are perfected for

best season In the Virginia League. There
is no quarreling. no pickering and no
contention-a condition of affairs which

The elimination of a disturbing factor
was a great relief to the league. and
whereas for years the idea obtained that
Richmond was to be plucked, the clubs
now BEE that this city is the backbone of
the league. Petersburg opens the season
here. Newport News goes to Roanoke.
