paws.
Charley Street is playing great ball
these days, and his work Is doubly appre-
ciated, as Jack Warner Is at the bedside
of his dying wife and there is no telling
when he will report.
The Athletics will have to be reckoned
with, notwithstanding their poor start
this season. The Browns open there To-
morrow. and the scoreboard will be
watched with great interest.
Milan's three hits in the morning game
Saturday were of the clean-cut variety.
His first one was right over the second
sack and Kleniow did we'll to stop 1t with
one hand. Lajoie could not have thrown
Clyde out at first. His second effort was
a neat bunt that Rugged the line and re-
fused to roll foul. while his double at
short center was out OF the reach of every
body and was stretched into a two-baggeI
on account of Hemphill kicking the ball
in his endeavor to make the catch.
Clyde's suit was a sight after the game,
as he was on the ground sliding every
time he hit the ball.
The attendance Saturday illustrated the
drawing powers of Washington and just
what the city can turn out.
Three Cubans on the New Britain team
lead their associates at the bat.
Bill Dineen is winning right along for
the St. Louis Browns and has done his
share to put them in the pennant hunt.
This thing of pitcher making a quick
return to the batter when the latter isn't
looking Is risky and could be well cut out.

nary work don't practice throwing to the
plate.

when running to 6rst base and has final
long stride that gets him there all the
quicker.

shoulders above any other college back
stop.
Though the New York Americans may
be out of the pennant chase. they can pro-
vide lot of fun by taking falls out of
the teams which think they are going to
win.
1t is somewhat exasperating to specta-
tors to hear some player call down the
umpire, especially hen the player is one
who makes more errors in his work than
the umpire does.
The Pirates put another hitch in their
connection with first place yesterday by
handing the gan to the careening
Cubs. If Chances cripples expect to
Mobile into the pennant again there is
no better time than the present to get
busy.
ElberfeId made a shakeup in the Yankee
lineup that was long overdue. He put
Stahl at first base and sent Moriarity
20 the outfield. 1t has been as obvious
as the Singer building for three months
