 | Columbians Blank Brahmins, Jones Wins Sunday, August 3rd , 1884 The Washington Columbians shut out the Boston Brahmins, 2-0, behind the strong pitching of Dave Jones. Jones surrendered only 7 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 6. Following the last out, Jones appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Boston manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Jones's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Brahmins skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Columbians press conference, Jones confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Jones said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Washington manager added. This season, Jones has gone 1-1 with an ERA of 2.18, posting 8 strikeouts in 20.2 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |   |
