Hits-Johnson Pitches
Eighth for Mats.

BOSTON. May s.-The Red Sox won
the final game of the series with
the Nationals today, 1 to o, and
the one run was scored on a balk,
probably the first time on record
that a 1-to-0 game was won in that
way. Pennock and Zachary had one
of the greatets southpaw duels over
seen, and the honors were about
even so far as the base hits went.
each being nicked for four. e.
Those made of the Washington
fsurler were scattered through as
many innings, while two of the
four registered against the Boston
man were made in succession by
Shanks and Brewer, the first two
batters up in the eighth inning.
Pennock .There" I'm Pinch.
Right here is where Pennock
showed UP big. Never before did
he pitch so carefully and effective
Iy as in this crisis. and. it is safe
to say, that never again will he do
better. Up to this stage only two
of the Senators had reached first
base. Shanks doubled in the sec
ond. with one down, but was thrown
out as he overran second, and
Brewer trfpled in the fifth, with
two down.
1t was something of a surprise.
therefore, when, in the eighth.
Shanks, the first man up, singled to
center. Brewer dropped a Texas
Lacquer in right, on which Shanks
went to third.
Shanks was thrown out at the
plate on Peck's grounder to Pratt
Pennock worked Charity to the
linit being very particular about
keeping them on the outside. and
finally passed him. filling the bases
Goebel. was sent to bat in place
of Zachary. and was struck out.
Then Joe Harris made a great
catch of Bush's foul fly. close TO
the left field bleacher wall. the
best and the nerviest play of the
game. and a very important one,
too. 1t was a fitting climax fol-
lowing the play of Pratt to the
plate on Shanks. and the striking
cut of Goebel, with the bases full.
and the crowd of 5000 went wild
with delight.
Tough for Zach.
It was a tough game for Zach
ary to lose. for while three OF the
four hits made off him were for ex-
ira bases, he generally was air
tight in the pinches. Dugan
nicked him for double in the sec
ond. with one out. and then he
famed Joe Harris, and retired
George Burns on an easy chance,
for the third out.
Collins single in the fourth was
wasted, as shane. was caught off
first a moment later.
Zachary's bad break came in the
fifth. when Joe Harris led OF with
a double to right. Burns put him
on third with a sacrifice. While
Walters 2 was at bat. Zachary
started to pitch, and then stepped
out of the box. committing a pal
pahIe balk. which put ]. Harris
over the plate with what proved
to be the winning run, and the
only one in the game:
Derril Pratt tripled over Rice's
head in the sixth. with, two down.
but he was left as Zachary i'm
mediate1y whitfield ]. Collins.
Walter johnson finished up the
game, pitching one inning in which
cnIy three men faced him. Leibold.
the last. being struck out. The
veteran looked good. Bush was
used ate third base and Howard
Shanks played in left field. where
he made a sensational catch of
what looked like a three-bagger by
J. Harris.
The grounds were in very good
shape. and fairly well dried out
after the heavy rainfall of the past
two days.
Somebody said that Pennock had
never beaten the Washington club
He beat them right today.
Shanks robbed ]. Harris of a
triple by a great catch in left CEN
ter In uhe seventh.
Harris was quite a factor in Bos-
tons victory. and he had his nerve
with him when he gathered in that
foul fly OF Bush in the eighth. with
the ba ases full and two down. He
went full tilt at the cement wall
and narrowly escaped crashing
into II.
Bostom's one run looked mighty
lonesome in the eighth with Shanks
on third. Brewer on first. none out
and Peck at bat. and later in the
same inning. more desolate still,
with the bases full, and Goebel be-
ing trotted out to bat in place of
Zachary. Great pitching by PEN
mock made that one run good.
Penrsock struck out FIVE men.
Zachary two and Johnson enc, and
all three showed great form.
There were only six assists by
the Boston felders. two of them by
the pitcher. That of Leibold nipped
Shanks at second after Howard had
slightly overrun the bag on his
double. and it proved an important
break for the Red Sox
