and rushed TO the field. Outside Of a
few words, nothing happened. both play
ers reaching their respective dressing
rooms in safety.
Boehling won a well-deserved victory.
and the Mack sluggers could do very
little with his south-side curls. The

places, but fast fielding on the part Of
his pals carried him over the rough
places
DoehIing i'm Good Form.
Eight scattered hits were all the league
leaders could get OF the delivery of the
young southpaw. The Nationals collected
the same number against Connie -Mack's
three youngsters. but wasted very
little ammunition. Taking advantage of
Houck's wildness in the first and fourth
and punching hits with passes. Houck
was driven to shelter in the fourth and
relieved by Bill Tan. a lanky Texan.
Taff had the everlasting daylights ham,
mered out of him in the seventh, when
four hits produced as many runs Wyck-
OF finished the game, and he, too, was
reached for a couple of runs
Yesterdays victory was Boehlings
sixth this season. The southpaw is the
leading pitcher in the American League,
and has yet to meet his first defeat in
1913
That Connie Mack really possesses but
two reliable pitchers was never more
clearly shown than yesterday None of
the youngsters, with the possible excep-
ton of Brown, has shown any real class
here.
The Nackmen grabbed off a run in the
first inning when Oldring walked and
scored minute later on Walsh's clout
to the right field fence.

walked, and as he danced back and
fourth off first base Houck made
ralpable balk Shanks scored and Nc
Bride was allowe' to go to second.
With only n slender one-run lead Boeh-
ling pitched the game of his life, but it
vas not until the seventh that the fans
breatked easy. In this round the game
was tucked safely away.
Houck's wiIdness caused Mack to yanl

last-named escaped unframed until the
seventh when the Climbers, tore him
limb from limb with bombardment OF
swats that fairly rocked the concrete
foundations of the grand stand.
Mcbride started off the seventh by
drawing a pass. John Henry sacrificed J
the captain 70 second. Boehling dashed

the fourth run. Ray Morgan famed FOL

Boehling let down a trifie in the eighth,
and the Athletics sent over a run on

bumped into each other Stuffy dropped |
the ball. Henry was over the plate be- |
fore il could be recovered.
It looked as If the Mackmen were going |
10 come through with one of their old |
fashioned smuggling matches in the ninth, |
but one run was all that resulted.
Strunk died, Morgan to Gandil, for a /
starter in the ninth, but Jack Barry |
dropped a single to left and stole second. |
Boehling struck out Schang and walked |
Orr, a pinch hitter. Oldring sent Danny |
