The Boston Red sox came and
conquered.
Ed Barrow's Hub City tribe invade
the Capital and defeated the Nation
ais yesterday at the Florida avenue
bailiwick In the first shut-out for the
locals OF the 1919 campaign by an
to o count. One of the largest
crowds that ever jammed between the
turnstiles of the Florida avenue sta
dium witnessed the downfall OF the
Griffmen before the worlds cham
pions.
There was plenty of action. as base
hits rang from the clubs of the vis-
itors in abundance. Jimmy Shaw,
who was selected by the Old Fox to
do the honors in the opener with the
Hub tribe, worked four innings in
which the champions gathered three
hits and four runs off his slants
Hovlik faced the Bafrow's crew in the
fifth, and in the sixth and after two
were down gave way to Thompson.
Harry toiled along through three
innings without being scored upon,
but the damage had been done to his
predecessors. The little left-hander
oAAo"Co OBty Oilc DlI16lc "nlit lC was
in the center of the diamond.
The Nationals were dangerous on
three occasions but the necessary hit
was lacking and the hitter was left
stranded on the sack only to see his
team mates fall before the puzzling
delivery of one Sam Jones of the Red
Sox tribe. Jones, by the way, always
has been a hard pitcher for the Ma
tonals to win from. He has a tan
talizing curve ball that keeps the bat
ter backing away.
Joe Judge opened the home folks"
part Of the first inning with a double
to right center only to see the next
three batters take the count on
strikes. Again in the third after two
were down Judge tripled to the score
board but Fosters offering was high
fly to Ruth which the swat artist
came near losing in the sun. The
Griffmen's best opportunity came in
the stand-up frame. Rice singled to
center and Shanks followed with n
swat to right but neithet Janvrin nor
Davis could advance them and 'Pi-
cinich ended the inning by a roller to
Barry who tossed out Shanks at the
keystone sack.

who tossed him out at McInnis' cor

Boston started off = with a rush.
Hooper opened the fray by drawing
a walk from Shaw. Barry sacrificed
him to second. being thrown out by
Shaw at the initial sack. Strunk hit
a double to left that scored Hooper.
Ruth hit one back at Shaw but it
was too slow for him to make a
play on Strunk at third. McInnis
hoisted to Rice. but Sammy let the
ball drop out of his glove and
Strunk counted with tally No. 2.

blanked the Sox in the three in
nings he worked and only allowed
one hit in the ninth, when Scott
shot a single to left.
