throws from the pitcher. Davey Altizer is
as quick as lightning on his feet, but Bobby
got behind him yesterday and Barney
Pelty's quick throw cut off the soldier boy
by fully a yard.
Manager Cantillon said this morning that
he would work Case Patten, this afternoon,
with Mac Heydon behind the bat. Case
would have gone in yesterday. but Cantil-
| lon selected Smith, and it turned out
good selection. The Browns will probably
have Howell or Powell on the firing line,
and as the locals always play with con-
fdence back OF the big left-hander good
game should follow.
Each team pulled off a double play yes
terday, and both We're fast creased
lightning. In the second inning, after
stone had been passed to first, 1eager hit
! fast roller to AltiZer, who gathered it in
cleanly and threw to Perrine who whipped
it over to Hickman in time to stop the
batter. In the third the Browns performed
their double stunt. the result of Bob Ganley
making a daring try for third on infield
out. Ganley had reached first on balls. and
then Charles Jones hit roller toward left
that ieager gathered in and threw nicely
to Tom Jones' Ganley had made a good
start when the hit was made and dashed
on to third which Wallace covered and
received the ball in time to head off the
daring runner. Both throws had to be
absolutely perfect to get Ganiey. 1t is
plays of this sort that please the spectators,
as they know the runners are doing their
b'Sl 10 score runs anu lUdl cHdUCeS nave
to be taken to be successful.
Anderson played in nicely for Pickering
in the third inning and gobbled up the
short fly that otherwise would have fallen
in safe territory. Pick always hits into
left field on a speedy pitcher, and his sue
cessful triple in the tenth inning was in
that locality. Anderson was too far in for
the drive. and it looked from the press box
as though Jones could have caught it with
little more speed.
Several hot-hcaded fans got warm I'M
der the collar yesterday because Charley
Smith ran slowly to first on his hits to the
iutield. Charley was working so good that
he didn't dare to take chances on exhaust
ing himself, and the opposing infielders held
up the ball every time in the hope that the
Dig fellow would run hard for the bag
QUICK fielding each time would have retired
Smith by ten yards, but Wallace and Hart
sell held on to the ball purposely to get as
much eXertion out of the pitcher as posi-
Bile That S simply inside base ball from
both teams.
Tomorrow afternoon at 400 the worlds
champions VIII start series with the Ma
tomas and a big crowd will be hand to
see the boys who trimmed the National
Ieaguers to the queens taste last fall
! Fielder Jones. "Jiggs" Donohue George
Davis, lsbel ard the other heroes of that
great struggle will aSsuredly be in the game
and get big oVations as they trot out on the
field the first time. Southpaw Graham will
90 the tWlrllnS for the locals and Roy Pat
terson may serve them up for the mighty
White SoX.
In the eighth inning of yesterdays game
Bob Ganley pulled off pretty stunt when
he ran away over into center field and
captured chickering's short fly. The entire
outheld was pulled away around to left
for Pick and it looked strange to see
the llttlef right fielder getting a fly in
Charley Jones territory. At that it was a
long run for Ganley, and he was given a
hearty round of applause when the catch
was completed.
There was a youngster practicing with
the Browns yesterday who looks the
goods all over. His name is Butler and
ne played last season with the Akron,
Ohio, team. He is deadly on fast ground
ers and has a whip that resembles some
what that of Bobby Wallace. If he can
hit the ball hard it looks as though Man
ager McAleer has picked up a good man.
Although the different managers in ask
Ing waivers on their players supposed to
give the other clubs at least forty-eight
hours to claim or not, the waiver on Third
Baseman Knight only reached Manager
Cantillon this morning. Sir Joseph imme-
diately grabbed a telegraph blank and put
in claim for the third baseman, as he
said he wasn't leaving anything get away
from him these days. Manager McAieer
has also asked waivers on Delehanty, and
once more Mr. Cantillon butted in with a
claim, as Joe says the youngster is too
good hitter to let slip through his fingers.
