Bob Groom mussed up an inning in
such a manner that il reminded one OF
a nightmare. incidentally he made a
hit which put his team in the lead,
thereby establishing some little precedent
of his own.
Dineen made decision at third base
that resulted in the crowd calling him

Bob Groom got away to a good start
by retiring Hooper, Yerkes, and Speaker
in the order named when the game
opened. but the Red SoX got to him for
a run in the second after two had gone,
when Engle singles and stole second. A
timely single to left by Wagner scored
him.

In the fifth Boston registered again,
and only brilliant work and nifty dou-

bounced the ball off the right field fence
for a double and scored on two-bagger

In the ninth somebody lit the fuse and
away went the fireworks. The air was
full of verbal badindage, base hits. runs,
groans and other noises. Some of the

the best of IL. The Nationals also played
