By PAUL III. SHANNON,
Baseball Expert Of the Boston Post,


Boston, Aug. 13.-Friday. the thir-
teenth. proved very unlucky day for
John Henry this afternoon and II
there is any superstitution in the big
catcher's makeup he can use this fact
for an alibi. With the stage all set
for an extra inning. Walter johnson.
the third Washington pitcher of the
afternoon on the slab, and both teams
tied at two runs all. Henry made his
third misplay of the afternoon by let
ting a pitched ball go through him
and away went the first game of the
series with Boston as victor by the
score of to >.
After the superb outfielding of the
Washington gardeners and the snappy
work of Foster and Shanks, 1t was
pretty hard lines for the visitors to
lose a game in this way, and even the
fans who pulled hard for a Boston
victory were not greatly pleased over
the result. Though Henry was the
principal malefactor from a Washing
ton standpoint. it is question
whether the big catcher or Acting
Manager Mcbride was the more re-
sponsiblc for the defeat.
McBride's Error Costly.
After earning the only run that was
cleanly procured in the game in the first
inning an error by Mcbride let the Red
Sox tie the score in their half. In the
fourth. after the Sox, had gotten to
Boehling for two hits with two passes
following a force-out. Boehling was or

will. and Ayers substituted. As one of
the two singles made Of Boehling was a
scratch. there is every reason to feel
that Joe would have pitched himself out
of the hole had he been allowed u re-
main in there.
Henry Drops the Ball.
The second run for Boston came as the
result of an attempted double steal in
this inning, Speaker sliding into Henry
so forcibly as to cut Henry's hands AMI
caused him to drop the ball. Had Henry
held the pill the side would have been
retired without a run, and there would
have been no reason in sight for yanking
Boehling.

TWO GERMAN AV|ATORS
KILLED IN FRANCE
One Machine in Fleet of TaubeS
Which Attacked Dunkirk
is Brought to Ground.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Two German
aviators, who participated in an aerial
raid upon Dunkirk and several towns
nearby on Friday afternoon were later
killed between Dunkirk and Furnes,
according to a dispatch received here
from Havre today. Messages giving
the details of the attack upon Dun
kirk say that there were from six to
10 Taube aeroplanes in the German
air fleet and that all escaped with the
exception of one machine. which was
brought down northeast OF the French
fortress. This contained two men.
With the bombs that they dropped
upon Dunkirk the German aviators
killed five persons and wounded Is
others, three OF whom subsequently,
died.
The attacking aviators caused
heavy damage in Dunkirk, Gravelines
and Rosendael. Five buildings used
as barracks and ammunition depOts
by the allied troops were set on fire.
AS Gravelines is only - miles from
Calais it is believed that the Germans
intended to attack that city as well,
but that they were driven back before
they could proceed there.

views in the parts of the interview
that follows:
"A life of single blessedness is Ger
tainly preferable TO an unhappy

which she can support herself with
