Nationals Defeat Boston in
Morning Game by Score
of 4 to 3.
GROOM'S SUPERB PITCHING
GETS BRILLIANT SUPPORT
Milan, Gandil and Shanks Make
Drives Which Produce Tallies.
McBride's Great Fielding.
BY J. ED GRr1Lo.

Brilliant pitching by Groom, superb sup
port and timely hitting by the Nationals
were responsible for the clean-cut victory
over the Boston Red Sox this morning.
The final score was to 3. and two of
the visitors runs were home runs. In
the first inning Hooper. the first man up.
hit over the right field fence for the
circuit, and i'm the ninth Wagner drove
the ball to the extreme center field cor
her for a home run after two were out.
The way Groom started it seemed that
Boston was destined to drive his delivery
to all corners of the lot Twice did the
visitors score i'm this round: Hooper by
reason of his lift over the wall, and
Speaker, who walked and came all the
way home on Lewis double. But after
that first inning Groom steadied down
and was hit safely but twice more dur
ing the game, Speaker singing in the
sixth and Wagner hitting for the circuit
in the ninth.
In the meantime the Nationals had been
busy with Wood. The star of the Bos-
ton pitching staff was not an enigma.
lie seemed erratic, so far as control was
concerned, and was hit when hits did the
most damage.
First Run in the Third.
The first run came to the Nationals in
| the third, when Moeler walked and stole
| and scored when Milan hit to center.
| In the fourth round the score was tied.
Gandil opened the inning with hit
which bounded over Engle's head.
Shanks sacrificed and Wood threw high
| to Engle moving Gandil to third and
Shanks to second. Mcbride got hit to
I; center. which allowed Gandil to score.
| but the next two batters were baffled by
! Wood.
| More runs came for the Nationals in
the SIXTH when the game was virtually
| cnched. This inning started by Milan
| walking. Gandil sacrificed neatly. and
| then Shanks came through with three
| Dagger to left center, which sent Milan
| home. He scored himself a moment later
| while Mcbride was thrown out at first.
One for Boston in Ninth.
| This ended the run getting so far as
! the Nationals We're concerned, but an
! other run came 10 the visitors when
! Wagner hit for the circuit with two out
| in the ninth. Hall, who was sent up TO
| bat for Nunamaker, struck out, ending
| the game.
| The Nationals again distinguished
| themselves by brilliant work in the field.
Milan made wonderful backward run
ming catch of Lewis fi- in the fourth,
| while McBride's one-handed pickup of q
! Sroundcr over second base from Wagner ;
| bat was the feature of the day.
| \ peculiar feature OF the game was the
fact that none cf the Nationals offered
the opposing outiieldcrs a fy ball during
the game. The score tells the rest OF it,.

tion does accordingly fully and absolute
ly disclaim the views therein expressed

whatsoever attempt TO disregard the pay
ment of their honest debts, and the dis
charge of their honest obligations"
