NEW YORK. Ia; BOSTON. Q.


Last Tuesday KlobedanE, the star left-hander Of
the Bostons. shut the New Works out without q
run and hold them down to two hits. Yester-
day, at tho Polo Grounds, Klobedanz tried to
hypnotic the Now Works again. and failed sig
nally. 1t mattered not whether he used speed,
curves, or slow balls, Joyce's men banged his
delivery oil over the lot until the Boston felders
were leg-weary. Mike Sullivan, on tho other
hand. was not the easy mark that the crowd of
$500 expected him to be. Barring one inning.
he was fortunate in keeping his hits scattered,
and showed good control.
Manager Joyce. smarting under tho defeats Of
Thursday, concluded to adopt radical measures.
He proceed ed to lay of Mike Herman, who,
Joyce claims. has not been playing upto-date
ball, and in the veterans place no placed young
McCreery, recently secured from Louisville in
exchange for Dad" Clarke. Tho new man lost
no time In convincing tho big crowd that he is
very fast ir all departments. He made a big hit
at the bat with three rafting two-baggers, did
somo OF the liveliest base running imaginable,
and accepted n hard drive in clean style. As a
natural consequence, McCrcery was lionized by
tho spectators, and the honest Woodworking
fellow who has been playing right field hero
for . dozen years past was temporarily
forgotten. Joyce also decided to resume
work at third base, as Donnelly's batting has
u VA Saptuih
also wished to be on the field 30 as to encourage
his men, and did not care to displace Clark at
iirst. who has been playing splendid ball. These
moves, therefore, were considered wise when
the game was over. az the batting strength of
the team was undoubtedly increased.
That usually reliable shortstop Herman Long
had one Of his off days. 1t seemed impossible
for him to pick up easy grounders. while his
throwing arm appeared TO be in trouble. He
made four costly errors. and was alone respon.
niblo for about six of New York's fourteen runs.
Several other membcrs of the Boston team were
