struction, but, when all is said and
done, due credit must be given to
the Richmond lad, for when he did
put the ball over the plate the Bos--
ton gang could not touch him.
In addition to eleven players left on the
bags, Boehling handed out seven bases
on balls, made a balk, and was put In
a hole when Shanks dropped ny in
the first inning. The southpaw's sling
ing, in the face of all this, deserves
little better than honorable mention.

Speaker, Hooper, and Gardner, reputed
heavy hitters, did not drive the ball out
of the infield. and but one real hit was
obtained off Boehlings delivery-a three
Dagger by Lewis in the fourth inning.
Carrigan is credited with single on
hot grounder, which bounced off Fosters
shins, and Engle beat out an ~infield
scratch in the sixth.
Manager Jake Stahl sent in Moseley,
a spitball finger. to start the game, but
Moseley only lasted three innings. George
Foster, his successor, drafted from the
Houston club. of the South Texas
League, finished the game and twirled
great ball. The Nationals were lucky
TO get TO Foster for one run. and had
the Texan started the combat there is no
telling what might have happened.
For the first time since the Nationals
left home, the team jumped into an early
lead and were able to play on the defen-
sive throughout. During the other games
mere Washington was required to pull
down Boston's lead in order to win.
Only one error marred the Nationals
3lay-the muff of a fly ball by Shanks.
Behind Moseley the Red Sox did not
present a stonewall defense. Mcbride
and Morgan performed brilliantly in the
ield. and the last named led the Climbers
with the stick connecting for two dou-
pies and single out of four times up.
The Nationals sent over a run in the
