Red Sox Defeat Nationals
By VAN NESS.

In the fifteenth stanza for doing less

did to Washington in the eighth
yesterday afternoon.
All that the indictment charged
Dangerous Dan with was domestic
incompatibility. All that Hendryx
is charged with Is robbing the Ma
tionals Of a second successful rear
grab
And so the Nationals had to stand
under the showers at supper time
and let the water trickle into their
ears to drown out the ringing roar
of memories that echoed to 2.
Hendryx In LimeIight.
The score tells a bunch. for yes
terday afternoon the Nationals were
just half as good as the Red Sox.
And vice the other way. the Red
Sox had IL on the village nine just
two to one.
The eighth was where the Hen
dryx pulled the daylight robbery.
Washington had the pearly gates
opened wide. with a man ready to
start from two points of the COM
pass. but the Boston center fielder
stepped up, flashed his st. Peter
badge and asked for tickets.
1t took the Nationals all after
noon to climb the long road, and
when they finally arrived in sight
of the second heaven of their open
ing home town engagement, they
didn't have the passports properly
vised.
Makes Great Catch.
The score was 4 to I, when Milan
stepped over to first on a lively
hit. Sam Rice bounced one over
Jones' head, and then the mighty
Roth made a giIt-edged bid for a
triple. Hendryx ran to the out
skirts of his beat, nabbed the drive
and took a flying fish roll on Jim
O'Day's green blanket. But the
fists of the Hendryx had never re-
laxed and the robbery had been
committed.
And with that the song Of misery
went upward wailing. for the Ma
tionals' only ace of the afternoon
had been plunked on the table.
Jump on Courtney.
The New Englanders started out
after Courtney as soon as the days
work was on, for Washington's gun
ner had few jig-saw puzzles to
offer. Hooper singled to right. Nc
Nally lifted one out to Rice, and
Rice's quick whip back to Judge
made a clean double of the mess
HendryX singled and got as far as
second when Jimmy O'Neill gummed
up a hit delivered head-on. Foster
went out to Roth on a short fly.
Fans gave a yowl at Jim when
he pulled another slip in the sec
ond. but Jimmy was not responsible
for any visitors scoring. After
Scott had been retired. Walters
singled past short and was safe at
second when O'Nefll pulled error
number two on Jones' tap. Harris
and Judge corked the vintage
against spelling with two pretty
plays.
Then came the third-the terri
bic third. 1t may not have anything
to do with the flowers that bloom
in the spring, but yesterday was
the ed. and the attendance was
5.013 Use your own judgment, and
lock at the third.
Foster Docs Trick.
Joe Bush. playing for Menoskey
ia left field, was let in free and
went to third on Hendryx' double
to left On McInnis'. tap to Har-
ris. Stan made brainy business by
cashing Hendryx, caught between
second and third, until the gent
from 4 fremont street met up with
BUsh.t still held at the crucial cor
reT. Stuffy rOmped over to second
with the household all out on busi-
ness, and both McInnis and Bush
scored when Foster shot a single
over second.
In the fifth Courtney sought re-
Venge on Bush and landed Joe back
on the bench with three pitched
balls. Hendryx slammed over a
stiff one to Shannon who skidded
on the frosting. McInnis singled
feftward. and Tim eaIloped over 70
