The kicking of Manager Jones and George
Davis that resulted In their being put out
of the game. appeared totally out of place.
Doubtless IT resulted from the high tension
which the White Sox are now working I'M
der. They are earnestly after the pennant
and hate to see even one defeat come their
way from a tail-end team Jones was at
the bench when Davis made flying leap
for the plate in the fifth inning. Clymer
had made a good throw and Warner touch
ed the runner as he was in the air. I'M
pire Sheridan stood right over the play and
doubtless gave the decision correctly, but
Jones dashed up and protested so stoutly
that he was ordered out Of the game. and
Welday took his place in center field. In

Altizer scored on FaIkenberg's fly to Jones
In center. Davis contended that the runner
had left third before the ball had been
caught. AS Sheridan was watching the
play very closely. he lost little time In
calling down Mr.. Davis and ordering him
to the bench. Davis retirement sent Robe
to short and CULLEN covered third.
Notwithstanding that AltIzer is charged
with two errors in the second game-his
only slips In sixteen chances-he played
great ball during the afternoons sport
He was continually getting into plays. and
he pulled down several flies and made stops
that were of the ringer sort. Sir David Is
mostly concerned over his batting. and as
he made a single and a run in each game

manager. sent AitiZer two bats yesterday

the gift very much. but he was afraid to

laid down a pretty sacrifice in the second.
There is no question about his fielding abil-

all of his six chances as clean as a whistle,
to the hearty applause of the spectators.
who have taken great liking to the new
conner.
Manager Jones is open to criticism for be-
ing caught of second in the first game by
Warner, but he doubtless figured that the
veterans arm Is not overly strong and that
he would not throw to second with rum
ner on third. The old boy is playing the
game of his life just now and he fooled the
White Soxs manager to the queens taste
Isbell Is not to be blamed for being caught
Off second in the same inning by Falken-
berg. as he was up against one Of Manager
Cantillon's copyrighted tricks that the tall
pitcher has been practicing on for some

pitcher only the trick can be worked fire.

Schlaf1y went up against the same trick
in practice when he was here and lost the
cigars. as he claimed Falkenberg couldn't
catch him. 'Schaf' was caught twice out
of five trials. and then acknowledged it
was a good trick.
Outside Of Pattersons pitching the star
plays were pulled of by Hahn. Robe and
Dougherty. and the greatest Of these was
the little Teuton down in right field. In
addition to hitting the ball hard. Hahn
pulled off several exceptionally good
catches of long fies and he probably saved
the first game for Patterson by his good
work.
Catcher Sullivan had a finger split by q
foul tip in the seventh inning of the first
game, and retired in favor Of Mcfarland.
White Sox, as Sullivan will doubtless be
out OF the game for several days. and. as
he is the star catcher of the country, will
be sadly missed, although Manager Jones
has two good men in Mcfarland and Hart
to fill in.
