SOUTHPAW E Manager Lake of the Bostons did some shrewd figuring yesterday when he sent Southpaw Burehell to the rubber. Some one had tipped I^ake off that the Washington* couldn't hit a lefthander and he "got wise." Result: Boston. 7; Washington. 1. Burhoell trimmed the locals on their last visit, and when Manager Cantillon saw the clever southpaw walk to the mound he knew there was trouble ahead. Joe tried to help some by substituting F.dmondson in center for Bickering, but the substitution would have had to make the rounds of the entire team to help any yesterday. BurIt ic ? C * K rt loft _ l\o nrlorC V-llT'll 1.^ UI1U ui llir: ivw who have good control with plenty of body action and speed, and when such Rood stickers as Pelehanty and Clymer can t locate his twisters he must be going- tome and then some more. Wee Bert Keeley was on the rubber for the locals, and his speed was very much to the liking of the visitors. Tiiere wasn't the long hitting of the day before, but the visitors got their singles in bunches, mixed up with some weird fielding, and as a result it was a procession from the start. Slump Was Due. The Nationals have been playing exceptionally good ball for the past month, and yesterday's slump was in their systems and had to come out. As the Bostons are struggling with Washington to get out of the second division yesterday was as good a time as any to i disgorge. Three muffed flies, a wild throw and a fumble are the locals' total In the error line yesterday, and from : now on one can look for better things. Connie Mack's hand is here today for a Jong series, and lets forget yesterday s exhibition. In Boston's first inning Keeley hit Lord after Niles had died at first, and two singles and an outfield fly sent a run over the rubber. The next four Innings were runless, but in the sixth they got to Keeley again and tabbed off two runs. Wag er went all the way around when AleRririo thrpw his rnllnr in th#* cranristanri Speaker then singled to right and stole second. Street thought otherwise, and objected so strongly that Umpire Connolly chased him to the bench, Mike Kahoe taking his place. Donahue singled to left. Ganley then muffed Burchell's fly, Speaker scoring. Niles followed with a safe bunt, but Lord filed to Edmondson. Sullivan then hit to short and McBride made a fancy stop and headed off Donohue at the plate by a nice throw to Kahoe. Gessler then died on a roller to Delehanty. Costly Passed Ball. In the seventh Wagner hit safely to center, went all the way to third on a passed ball and scored when Speaker flied , out to Edmondson. There was some tall doings in the eighth for Boston. Burchell led off with a single to right, but Niles fouled to Kahoe. Lord worked a base on balls and Sullivan tripled to left, scoring Burchell and Lord. Gessler had to get in the game somehow, so he then singled to right and Sullivan scored. The Nationals' only run bobbed up in the ninth inning. Keeley walked, but Edmondson popped to Niles. Ganley and T'nglaub followed with singles, filling up the bases, and then Keeley crossed the plate when Delehanty flied to Sullivan In deep left. Clymer closed the game with a bounder to Lord and was thrown out at first. Following is the score: WASHINGTON. A.B. R. H. O. A. E. < Rdmondsrto. cf 4 0 1 0 0 1?

The Athletics are scheduled for six games in four days, which means another double-header Monday. k Manager Mack has left behind several i of his veteran ball players and will play the youngsters regularly until the end of the season. Center Fielder Speaker handles himself like a ball player, his catch of Edmondson's fly in the sixth, on which he doubled up Keeley at llrst, being a splendid * exhibition. Bert Keeley worked his quick throw to first on Speaker in the second inning. Speaker had Just singled and was doubtless feeling good with himself when over went the ball like a rifle shot and Jerry liad the ball on him before he could get back to the bag. Milan would liave resumed playing in renter field yesterday, his bad ankle being almost well, but being a left-handed bitter it was thought best to send in Edmondson, who is a right-hander. The local fans may get a chance to look ?t one of Mack's star infielders before the series ends. He has a line on Baker, ydaying third for Reading, and as the season np there ends this week he may mport here. Baker is so good that Manager Mark has promised Manager Weigand a half dozen cast-offs for him Matt spring. Charley Street should be impressed with tie fact that he is needed by the Nationals in every game and to keep away from the umpires. It rarely gets a Jdayer anything to "nag" an umpire, and # n many cases it is quite the reverse. The Philadelphia Press this morning eays that Manager Mack left behind him in Philadelphia when he came over here Hartsel, Collins. Vickers. Bender and Dvgert of the old squad. Plank.

From the way Garland Stahl played in this city in the last two series with Boston he is the "weak sister" of that bunch Jake's fielding is up to his old form, but he can't bingle hard enough for a first saeker. Manager Hake is confident he will regain his batting eyes by next spring. Jack Crooks, another Washington lad, has been playing a splendid first base for the Reading team of the Tri-State I-eague and will probably go up higher next season. He'Is a big. strapping fellow and has hit around the .300 mark all sea- ; son.

Arrangements are being made for big ioings here Saturday, when for the third . time In four years, the Wllliamsport Trl3tate bane ball team will raise a well i earned pennant.

Next week the champions will ' start out on a barnstorming tour. 1 " i FODDER FOR THE FANS. Harry O'Hagan, the former Nap first sacker, is playing a good game for Waterbury. Charlie Pruiett didn't last long with the Toledo aspirants for championship honors and has been returned to Cleveland. Jimmy Sebring has been reinstated by i Harrjsburg. So glad was he to play I ball that he has jumped to the front as a hitter and a flelder. Those who said he was done for good are now crawling Into their holes. With a few good bexmen those Naps would become a big factor in base ball. Cleveland's weakness seems to be picking up a lot of outfielders and overlooking the pitching department. Ordinary outfielders will do if you get the right sort of boxmen. Archer, the BufTalo backstop, last year with the Tigers. Is one of the best catchers in the league. His work this year has been gilt edged, and surely he will soon go back to faster company. At that, he made good last year, but Jennings thought lie needed a little more polish. Charley Hickman is swatting the ball for an average of nearly .400 per cent. If he continues to the end of the season he will have done more for the Toledo team than any other man on it. He has given them a good place in the struggle, anyway. Before the meeting of the Detroits and St. Louis Browns the St. Louis writers were strong in their claim that the Tigers would quit when they met MoAleer's boys. The result of the games proved that the boot was on the other foot, if anything. George McConnell of BufTalo, who goes to the majors next year, is one of the hardest-hitting pitchers playing the game, not excepting Mullln of Detroit. His big stick has been the means of pulling more than one game out of the fire this season for his team. I The annual story to the effect that Charlie Carr, the Indianapolis manager, will be the next, manager of the Boston 1 Americans is out.

Pitcher Cy Young of the Boston Americans and the other big league ball players who liail from the vicinity of Tuscarawas county, Ohio, are to be received by the residents of that section in royal style when they return home after the close of the base ball season. There will be a whole string of events held in honor of the ball tossers at New Philadelphia, among which will be a base ball game between the big professionals and some other team. The umpire will be Sam Dunlap, with whom Cy Youag played hall twenty years ago. Among the leaguers who have come out of that vicinity besides the veteran twirlcr are Frank Laporte, a regular, and Karl Moore, who has been signed by the New York Americans; A1 Shaw of Chicago and Harry Schlafly of the Toronto Eastern League team. A glance at the remaining schedule of the Detroit team serves to give an idea Of what it will have to accomplish to win the flag this year. Following the present series with Chicago St. Louis Is next on the docket for a four-game series, which will be played in St. Ixtuis, beginning next Sunday. Then follows the in_ M 1U?
