was sent TO bat for Groom in the eighth
inning Of the first game. but his best was
a grounder TO Baker.
Not a stolen base was registered IN
either game. Several OF the Athletics
tried the stunt. but Gabby Streets arm
meant death each time.
In the sixth inning OF the second game
Harry Davis made a swell catch OF
Milan's foul fly. getting the bali almost
up against the grand stand.
The games were without a single fea-

We must admit that Krause has some
thing else besides a glove and a toeplate.
He IS the nkeliest looking youngster seen
here this season. Krause had everything
curves, speed, and excellent control.

more than disappointed at the outcome.
The error chaIked against Harry Davis
