iskey's Chicago white Sox,' American
association baseball club. smothered the
Minneapolis American association team
here Thursday afternoon, winning by
score OF Is to 4. The Chicagoans played
an almost perfect game. While the Mill
ers went UP in the air at the beginning
and remained there until the end of the
game. Comiskey's men simply out
cIassed the men from Minneapolis DIT
every stage of the game. The nine
errors show how poorly the Millers
played. while the lone error charged
against Chicago shows that the men
from that burg are every one ball play
ers. 2olin, third baseman for Mime
apoIis, played a miserable game, FIVE
errors being charged against him. Min
neapolis tried three pitchers, but not
one of them could hold the hard-hitting

took turns in the box for Chicago and
both held the Millers down to a few
scattering hits.

m'GRAw's LATEST PLAN.
Proposes Trying to Use Two Pitchers
in All Games Played.

New York, April 10-The Giants were
unable to play in Baltimore the last day

AS result of their southern trip,
which began on March IA, the PLAYERS
of the team are in excellent condition
with the execution of. Taylor, who is
suffering from a slight attack of ton
silitis, and Cronin. who caught cold IN
his shoulder in Memphis.
Manager McGraw has originated a
new plan which he will put into opera
ton when the championship season be-
gins. and viii be an entirely new de-
parture in baseball. He intends to work
his pitchers throughout the season as
he has during the southern trip-that
is, he will use two pitchers in every
game, one being in the points five in
nings and the other four.
McGraw says that the only thing to
fear in adopting the plan is the roast
ing" he will get if the second pitcher
should lose his game after the first
pitcher had his opponent tied up. But
he will take chances just the same, and
there is not player among the Giants
who does not favor the plan. It will be
radical and sensational move.
