"Say. Mcdonald. I'd like to give you q good
punch in the jawi" yelled a little man with a
gray mustache at the conclusion of yesterdays

hurled at him, but he looked back into tho

Donald's Judgment OF balls and strikes, wasn't
exactly good at all times, but each pitcher suf-
fered alike and tho rulings cut absolutely no
figure in the general result.
Griffith and Seymour we're the pitchers, and
the former easily carried OF the palm. Tho
Chicago twirler had magnificent control of the
ball, and whom he struck out both Joyce and
Davis in the sixth inning, with two men on
bases, he showed that his work was no auke.
Seymour was as Wllu as q naWk. he nelQ tho
Chicagos down to four hits. it is true. and struck
out seven of them, but he gave seven bases on
balls, hit two batsmen. and made three wild
pitches. To his lack OF control Chicago's runs
were almost wholly due, and any talk about
the umpire is simply absurd. The Now
Yorks put up an errorless gEme, but they
played without life. although Grady did
enough kicking over McDonald's work TO war

Cages kicked, too, over several decisions by both
umpires and should have been suppressed.
They played fast ball, Donahue's catching and
throwing to bases being the feature. In the fifth
inning the Chicago catcher nailed three mon at
