 While Pete Kiernan made two bad errors he more than made up for them in his other work in the field and at the bat. He sent Piggy Ward, who was standing on the line Of base, flying across the second bag and the ball dropped from Wards hands like a shot. Pete only smiled but Ward was mad clean through.
 Manager Duffy of the Milwaukee American league team is going to shake up his outfit without delay.
