Cecil Mathews impressed in the 12-5 Boston win over New York. Mathews, who finished 5th in the IA in triples with 15 last year, went 4 for 5 with a triple and 3 singles, while scoring 3 times. Boston, at 35-57, occupies 6th place in the International Association.

Pete Applegate, who led the FL in triples with 15 in 1884, chipped in a 2-run home run for Boston in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 3 RBI.

"I felt good up there," said Mathews. "I saw the ball well."
