rate
Kitson or Patten will pitch today for the
locals with Dfnneen for the visitors.

the signs that the popular fellow was COM
Ing around to his batting stride.

Cyrus Young. but he slammed the ball for
keeps IN the second, getting a single, a
triple and home run.
The Boston bunch has strange look with
Jack Hayden In right, Hoey In left and
Morgan on third. The youngsters all did
well. especially the little Tr-Stater IN
right.
Manager Collins went home to Boston
last Friday to have his bad leg looked
after and will be In the hands OF spe-
cialfst for the next couple of weeks.
Chick Stahl Is now acting manager
The Bostons went into the second game
as though they didn't care, having done
their days work in winning the first game.
The aggregation is a sad wreck compared
to two years ago.
Too much praise cannot be showered on
Jack Hayden, the Boston's new right
fielder. He handles himself like star
from every angle, fielding with confident
ease that makes 1t pleasure to look at.
while at the bat he hammered the ball with
the gusto Of Keller or La3oie.
The Boston outfield Is now all right but

tended to Sir Jacob Decker Yesterday for
fine treat of ginger. ale and ice water.
The ice ran out upstairs and Mr. Decker
very kindly came to the rescue.
Jimmy Morgan is far from being his true
self just now. The boy had been out OF
the game until about two weeks ago and 1t
will take some time for him to get into his
right stride.
Bradley OF Cleveland has made only four
errors this season. a most remarkable per-
Torrance.
George Davis of the Chicago Americans
leads the shortstops of the country with
an average OF .97l
Baltimore failed to corral Beecher, the
third baseman OF the Trf-State League. and
