The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-08-12

Philadelphia state and took peek at
the situation. They did rally a bit
in the seventh and eighth innings,
but the hit was too late to head off
the always wide-awake Detroiters.
It appears to me as IL 1t would be
the proper caper for every player on
the Yankee team to play all the hard
er, knowing that they are so sadly
broken up and misplaced. There is
nothing in letting the old smarting
sting of the English mustard turn to
the. sluggish color and taste of the
dark yellow brand. It is not the
Yankees nature to lay down, and
they should take brace by starting
a squirt of live action against the Chi
cago White Sox today.
Manager Griffith holds his nerve
in public, anyhow. This was shown
Yesterday when the spectators made
a concerted move toward the exits
after the Yankees had been retired
in the ninth inning. Griffith stood on
the coaching line and shouted, This
game is not over yet by long shot. =
Now, If his players had shown that
never-say-die spirit from the start OF
the game until its finish, there might
have been different result to re-
cord.
Conroy made many difficult plays,
and it must be acknowledged that the
balls he had to handle went at him
in very troublesome fashion, but he
seems to fail to properly play the
grouders that go at him at all awk-
wardly. WILDLY" in fact, makes
plays much more difficult for HIM
self by backing up on the ball instead
of running in and fighting it. There
are times, of course, when that can
not be done, but the comparison be-
tween the peppery fighting style of
O'Leary and Conroy's more deliba-
rate and less successful methods
make it appear as if the diminutive
Tigar's way was the best. 1t was
surely the most taking with the spec
tators.
This criticism is not intended by
me to be taken as a roast $50 called,
but as the advice of an interested
spectator, who can possibly see more
from the grand stand than the play
ers can from the field or the bench,
and who is as much interested in the
welfare and success of the Yankee
team DIS any payer Oh IL.
The Yankees lacked ginger yester-
day, there are no two ways about it,
and the Tigers were just full of it.
And that exactly explains the Yanks'
defeat
Manager Jennings was just as
much in evidence yesterday as if he
and his undesirable" whistle were
side line features. Hughey pre-
emptied his customary grand stand
seat in close proximity to his players,
and directed affairs in a managerial
capacity. He even rushed out on the
field during the ninth inning to give
first aid to the injured when
O'Leary's solar plexus was punctured
by hot lick from Moriarity's bat,
but Umpire Connolly sensibly ig-
nored that rupture of the Jennings
act. But it only empha-
sized how farcial President Johnson's
five days suspension has resulted in
the case of the irrepressible Detroit
Hughey was intensely pleased over
his mans victory, as we'll he should
be, and his good-natured visage had
the man in the monn's beaten a mile

me a happy goodbye, and shouted
back, "Ichope you will win out,
and reckon that was voic-
ing the opinion of many local fans
now that the kinks appear to be out
of it. And Hughey and his hustlers
surely look to have more than a
fighting chance. A few more Cobbs
and they would walk in. Tyrus was
surely the caidy boy again yesterday.
He was there with his bat and in the
field, and perhaps he can't streak it
down to first. Hey, Bo!
But there is one Tiger upon whom
old Jack Glasscock's No. cap has
descended beyond preadventure, and
that is Schaffer. This smart Alec
has taken upon himself to ape Arlie
Latham's methods as a coacher, but
he only monkeys" them. Yesterday
Schafferwas guilty of as assinine
kick as any player ever registered.
He was ordered to keep within the
lines of the coaching box by Umpire
and made brazen defiance
of the order, claiming there were
no lines there. After doing the
