johnson had a trying game to pitch,
and while the crowd admired his excel
lent control and delivery and was not
SLOW IN bestowing upon him a fun
measure OF wel-merited applause, the
hleacheritcs tried hard IN the last two
innings TO have Johnson jump skyward-
But the pitching find OF the year be-
haved with all the abandon and DELHI
grafton OF the seasoned campaigner-
Never once did he show the slightest
trace Of Wildness. and in the nine in
nings gave but one base on balls.
Opposed to Johnson IN the opening
game was Morgan. VINO has been pitch
ing better ball with the Pilgrims since
joining BIcGuire's club than for many
moons. Morgan, too. twirled a good
game. but was a bit more free with
his passes. and then. too. hit a man at
what appeared 10 be a critical moment.
II should be remarked. however. in
passing, that Johnson was given superb
support. Warner behind the bat was
Of immense assistance, while out in the
left field Ganley nearly ran his feet on

Altizsr Brings in Run.
The only run Of the opening game
came IN the fourth inning. Jones was
first up and was thrown out by Knight.
Then O'Brien singled to left. and a
minute later had safely purloined the
middle sack. Shaw's poor throw carried
him along 10 third and Altizer' 5
single did tho rest. Both Altizer and
Smith, who subsequently, reached first on

Boston tried hard several times to
score, but came the nearest in the last
half Of the ninth, when it really did look
as though the home team would tie up
the game. Barrett. with two strikes on
him, singled 10 left, and Freddie Parent
sent him 10 second on a sacrifice. Con-
