Was Experimenting.

family refuse to accept this view, and
his boy friends assert their belief that
the young man came TO his death in
trying to discover, experimentally, the
sensations the victim of an execution

Mcclure expects the Red SoX to keep
up the gait shown since the team trail
ed the cclors of the Highanders in the
dust and manifested such unexpected
strength in all departments of the
game against the league champions.
My team, except Gessler and La
porte is in tip-top shape, and, barring
accident. nothing can keep us out of
the first DIVISION" said the Dream.
1.-THE boys have struck their stride in
hitting. which has been long expected
and besides are fielding in a way that
will cause no worry on my part if they
will only keep on at the same merry
clip
Jack Sheridan must have misrepre-
scented the incident that caused him to
suspend me. for l never did anything
that warranted the umpire's even chas-
ing me off the coaching lines, much
less recommending me for suspension.
/ did nothing offensive, and l think
that Jack was hasty"
The Deacon expects to get back into
harness by Tuesday. Case Patten will
join the Red Sox at Cleveland, but Nc
CURE is not sure of using him against
the Maps in that series.
There is no deal on for anv one of
my men," said he. Il intend to keep all
of them and get more whenever 1 have
a good chance to strengthen. The Bos-
ton club is going well now and we will
bear watching during the remainder of
the season.
"Laporte is suffering from split
finger on his throwing hand and Ges-
sler has strained shoulder. but both
will be back in the game before long.
Pruiett is rot for sale and isn't likely
to be. Should we ask for waivers on
him not a team in the league would
grant them, as he Is too valuable to let
out of the major organization. Luck
broke badly for us at the start of the
season, but l believe that it has turned
now and that we will give them all a
fight before next October rolls around
Certainly. the clubs that are figuring
on Boston as chance to fatten up
their percentages will get badly dis
appointed. Just ask the Detroit fans
