Centerfelder Milan pulled OF remark
able catch on Lee Tannehill in the seventh
inning Clyde was playing pretty well
out when Lee hit a line fly into short
center. Milan came dashing in with all
his we'll known speed, but it seemed i'm
possible for him to reach the ball. At the
moment when the ball was about to strike
the ground, Milan threw himself forward
and practically got his hands between the
sphere and the ground, hanging on to it
with the grasp of wise. For the frac-
tfOn of a second, as Milan was seen slid
along the ground. the spectators held
their breath, but as the little fellow shot
up his left hand with the ball in it,
mighty shout went up that must have
carried for a mile over the surrounding
housetops. In that disastrous fifth inning.
Milans good throw to the plate made
Sullivan dig back to third, and had Smith
taken proper care Of Walsh at that time
a different story would have been told.
Milan didn't do anything at the bat I'M
til the final round, when he beat out "a
slow roller toward first. but then Walsh
is something of a pitcher.
George Mcbride was also in the lime
light with a remarkable stop in the
thirteenth inning that brought everybody
up standing and dancing like Indians.
There were two out at the time, with

Second Baseman Jim Delehanty will
hardly get in the game for some time to
come. IL at all again this season. The
clubs physician here gave Jim thorough
examination Friday and declared that the
player mad very narrow escape from
typhoid fever. He prescribed absolute
rest and the chances are that Del will
take a trip to the mountains for a week
or two and try to get we'll When Dele

he appeared to be In good shape to re-

him out and he became SO weak that he
was hardly able to walk to the cars.
Since then he has been resting up. but
1t is believed that mountain air Is about
the only thing that will bring Jim around
all right again.
In the fourteenth inning Charley
Street figured in a nervy play when he
retired Hahn on a high foul. The ball
came down not more than a foot from
the grandstand. but Charley got under
it on the dead run. and although he
crashed into the stand he managed to
hold on to the ball. It takes nerves OF
steel to make these plays. but we have
yet to see Street hesitate for the frac-
ton of q second in going after them.
The Chicagos wind up their season in
Washington Tuesday. and Manager Jones
threatened last night to work Doc
White again as a grand finale. If he
