Although nearly half an hour late
in starting. due to untimely show
ers which held the attendance down
to paitry 5000. the Nationals con, con-
trived to stage a ball game with
the Red Sox yesterday and got
20 licking for their trouble. This
was due. more than anything else, TO
the presence on the rubber 1or tne
enemy of Samuel C. Jones. This
great Highlander. who depends solely
upon legitimate speed. curves and

Sox Twice Get to Eric.
Opposed to Jones was George Erick-
son, who failed to puzzle red hosed
batsmen at two critical junctures and
was tided over rough spots on four
other occasions by his mates. who dis

Hose Obtain Cheap Tally.
Boston's second tally was obtained
in a rather cheap manner with one
gone in the sixth. Menosky beat out
well placed bunt to Judge, Eric be-
ing unable to get over in time to
cover first. Mike took third with the
hit-and-run sign displayed when Pratt
dribbled the ball past Harris. and he
tailed on swinging bunt by Mc1nnis
in front of the plate. which caught

1t looked for a time in the opener
as If Jones might not prove the puzzle
he usually is against the Griffs. This
was when Milan and Judge singled
with one out Miller's effort to pull
but Harris walked to fill the bases.
This put it up to Shanks. who ended
the threat by rolling to Scott.
Another Opening Neglected.
