BIG HELP TO RED SOX

to Foster.
BY J. ED GRuLO,

BOSTON, May Sit seems to be Wal
ter Johnson's fate to lose all his games
this spring by the shut-out route.
Though his team got two more hits off
Foster than the Sox got off Johnson
yesterday, the latter went down to de-
feat by a score of 2 to 0.
This was made possible to a large
recruit named McNally. who played
third base for the locals. He figured
in. and in fact started. two double
plays which did much to prevent the
Nationals from getting runs in the
early innings, and he did other sensa-
tional things in the field.
Johnson was hit safely four times,
but two of these were triples, and each
resulted in "A run. walk to Hooper in
the first and Speakers triple down the
first base line gave the Sox an advan-
tase at the outset, and In the seventh
Lewis hit one into right field for
triple, but he should have been out at
third base had Umpire Chill not had
to have been chilled between innings,
and before he could get properly warm
ed up Hoblitzell also got a single and
Lewis scored. johnson then retired the
next three batters without any trouble.
Foster Gets Breaks.
Foster, who opposed johnson, got all
the first two men to face him got on,
yet no runs resulted, while six differ
ent times the first man up managed to
reach the initial sack, yet no runs were
scored. In the first inning. for instance,
Moeller got a life when Scott fumbled
his grounder Foster hit to left, but
Milan. after making two unsuccessful
attempts to sacrifice. hit to McNally,
who forced Foster at second and Milan
was doubled up on the play. GandiIs
long fly ended this inning.
In the second Morgan singled with
one out and then Ainsmith hit an ugly
bounding grounder to McNally, which
he again turned into a double play.
but Moellers inability to sacrifice play
ed havoc with good start. Mcbride
opened this inning by drawing d pass
and Johnson laid down a bunt along
the first base line. which Hoblitzell
fumbled long enough for johnson to
get safely to first. 1t was up to Moeller
to move the two men up, but he drop
ped the ball in front of the plate and
Thomas forced Mcbride at third.
Washington had six men left on the
bases, while Boston had but one.
Gandil Hits in Fourth.
Gandil started the fourth with a hit
and was sacrificed to second by Ron
deau, and then Morgan hit what looked
like a triple to center field. 1t was a
line drive, but Speaker reached it and
Gandil, who thought the ball was going
safe. was doubled up at second. Chick
opened the seventh with a double to
center Rondeau tried to move him UP
with a sacrifice, but he popped up to
the pitcher and then Morgan hit 10
the pitcher. Williams was substituted
for Ainsmith, but Wagner threw him
out at first.
There was nothing doing in the eighth,
but the visitors rallied in the ninth
with one out. Foster naving died at
first on a brilliant stop by Scott, Milan
and Gandil singled in succession. Ron
deau popped to the catcher and Morgan
forced Gandil at second on his ground
er to Scott.
The score:
