Opening day in Boston went off in fine style. The usual band was there. Gov. Cox. Mayor Peters and other high officials of the state and cit with officers of both the Army and Navy. inciuding Gen. David Shanks and Rear Admiral Herbert Dunn, participating in the ceremonies—and the home team triumphed. But in one respect the season's inaugural was a distinct frost. Despite the fact that well-nigh perfect weather pre- vailed, and that the popular home product, Hugh Duffy, was making his bow as manager, less than 7,000 fans occupied seats in capacicus Fen- way Park, which is capabie of ac- commodating 30.000. Base ball enthusiasts of the Hub have simply turned their thumbs down on Harry Frazee. Even he must realize that fact now. The American League will not be able to} regain its lost prestice in Boston until the club obtains an owner who seeks to build instead of wreck. Only 28 Griffs Face Jones. But to get back to that game. This Jones person always has been a tough proposition for the Nationals, and he never was tougher than yesterday. Facing a team that has an average of more than ten hits and four runs to a game. Jones allowed only two singles. Gharrity and Judge oblaining them. The latter alone got as near the plate as second base, a total of only twen- ty-eight Griffmen facing Duffy's ster- ling righthander. Mogridge was threatened in the Vitt walked and was forced by Menosky, who romped to third when Hendryx singled to right. On Pratt's roller to Shanks Mike was trapped and run down on the lime. Milan then made a fine running catch of Collins’ drive toward center. ‘The Sox made good in the second to the extent of one run on a double and two puny singles. McInnis lined against the scoreboard in left for two bases as a starter. He was effaced by Shanks, who grabbed Scott's bounder and tagged Stuffy on the fi his toss to Judgze being just too late to complete a double. Ruel got a life when his swinging bunt refused and Scott scored on Jones' slow roller which struck third base and hopped over Shanks" head. Rue! and Jones were left, after moving up on Vitt's suicide, when Menosky lined ' to Harris. Some Good Ficldinz. Spectacular stabs by Milan and Lewis saved Mogridze some embar- rassment in the fifth. With one out Menosky gauged z slow floater and dribbled it through the box for a sin- gle. Hendryx lammed a liner to rizht center, ticketed for three bases until Milan canceled it with one mitt, after a sharp sprint. Mike could have been easily doubled before getting back to first with a good throw, but Zeb didn’t have one in stock. Pratt walked, and then Lewis climbed the bank in left center to snare Collins’ long wallop. Only eighteen men faced Jones in the first six innings.
