thinking, perhaps, that Wednesdays victory was
but squirt, was not sangune as to the result.
Good-natured James Calvin was booked to pitch,
as Manager Phillips had judgment enough to per-
ceive that Maui was just the kind OF pitcher the
Senators liked. ODay, however, was good enough
IN Ted Sullvan's estimation for a second trial. and
ne and Deasley did the Washington battery work.
There were nearly a thousand people in the
grounds when Umpire Kelly called "play." Hoy
