Collins Takes Two From Washington
In Washington on July 4 the Boston Americans swept a doubleheader, winning 8 to 2 in the morning and 6 to 2 in the afternoon. Selbach, formerly with Washington, started in left for Boston, while ONeill played for Washington after being traded. The crowd of about 5,000 teased Selbach early, then cheered ONeill after a misplay. Collins’ men opened strong in the afternoon, the locals managing only scattered hits and grounding into double plays. Selbach received an ovation in the second game for a solid all around showing, while ONeill again had a quiet day.
