rifle Liner from Speakers
Bat.
BY PAUL SHANNON,

Boston. Mass, July 6.-In spite of the
fact that Grif used BoehlinS and Walter
johnson, the two leading twirlers of his
staff. the Nationals mad to submit to
their second double defeat in a day, as
the Red Sox. after disposing of Boehling
and Hopper by to !. in the opening en-
gasement. came right back after John
son in the second contest and inflicted
to l setback against the great Walters
, SsS.rd. A big crowd of more than l.. 900
people. saw the Red SoX continue their
pennant-winning stride.
To do Boehling justice. however the
defeat In the opener should not be laid
1t his door. With the tally ] 20 l in
the first inning. he WAS taken from the
poX because OF an injury sustained
through Speakers savage hit. This hit.
which sent in the one run for the Red
Sox. was 4 scorching liner which Boehl-
} ing Rocked down with one hand and as
q result the southpaw's hand was split
so badly that he could rot continue Hon
per succeeded him and was found for
four runs during the remainder of the
game
Sox Get to Johnson.
Johnson. however. was scheduled to go
down in defeat and although sharp field
nag might have neld the Bostons TO two
scores, this would have been enough to
accomplish his downfall. Although bad
misplays. figured in some of the locals
ltailies. the srelt twtrler was pounded
more savagely than the crowd has ever
seen him nit before. Twelve clean blows
showing the way that CarriGan's men
found his fast ones
johnson was hit hard from the very
start and while only two runs were made
OF him in the opening round. II was
sensational fielding of Howard ShanEs
nl hf,x, %.
Four safe drives We're made off him in
the first inning and only Henrksen's
Tough luck in hitting a line drive direct
ly pto Fosters hands in the second with
the bases filled and no one out, kept him
from sustaining even greater damage.
Weak Hitting Again.
Again the Senatorial representatives
made a bad showing with the stick
Shore was very effective. but the fail
ure of Gandil and other usually depend-
able natsmen 10 come through with hits
at the right time cost the Grifrmen
dearly. One can judge of how lightly
this club hits here when it is realized
that the first runs they have scored at
renway Park this season were made
ms afternoon. as they were shut out in
all their four previous games here.
Nationals Finally Score.

Janvrin and putting Boehling out of |
commission. Hopper came in here. and !

Luck favored the Red Sox in the sec

Texas league hits, Shanks just falling to |
reach both flies. Shore sacrificed and
Hooper's hit sent both men in. After |
