Irv Young allowed only 2 hits resulting in a big goose egg on the scoreboard
for Brooklyn as the Boston Doves topped the Brooklyn Superbas by a score of 4
to 0 at Washington Park.
 
Young(1-0) was on top of his game.  He was stingy on the mound, allowing just
2 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings.  Boston had a total of 8 hits for the game.
 
Nap Rucker(0-1) ended up with the loss.  'He was moving it around and spotting
it very well.' Brooklyn's manager said.  Young pitched a great game. He
deserves all the credit.'
