The Washington times., 1909-09-28
Here's good luck to Bill Rapp


When YOU come to think OF II. there
would be nothing positively immoral
about Washington taking another Dan
game from Chicago. OF course, q might
hurt the feelings OF our nonored 6Ies.s,
which would be something greatly 70
be deplOred. but the fans here coulQ
bear I'D bravely under the sense OF
modification at having IhelI
visitors if Cantillon's Youngsters VII
only win this afternoon. The same re-
marks go for Cleveland. It's a long
time between now and next spring be
fore tina there is no telling where some
OF us will be. md the aosent 0ne5 nOulu
like TO recall the fact that washington
did win a game In the home stretch or
the 1903 campaign. Please, Mr.. Cahtl-
Ion. take notice.
Billy Sullivan doesn't have 70 do much
managing TO win a game for the SoX
like that one yesterday
-
Forman needs more seasoning than a
high" pheasant before he VIII be ser
yiceable In the major leagues Instead
OF improving. he seemed even worse
Yesterday than on his first appearance
and II he had remained in the box lohs
enough the Sox would have made a rec
ord numoer OF runs. He was wild, ana
his fielding was a fright He IS very
much Of a youngster, and there is no
reason why he should not make GOOD
eventually. but ne had better make up
his mind TO 90 to the minors and stay
there at least a couple OF years II ne Is
going to follow baseball for a living
and hopes to ise in the business
The hit column is sufficient abb II

Doc Reisllng naturally Old not pitch
his arm away when he went into the box
in the third inning yesterday WITH tne

Eusy day for Atizer. Two hits, a
base on balls, a sacrifice and hit BY the
pitcher.
For one that was almost featureless
# was a peculiar contest Tannehill s
lean into the air after Yohe's drive In
the fifth ard Parents pickup and throw
of I.ellvely in the ninth were tie near
est approaches TO brilliant work. and
there were a lot of errors sandWiched
tn. but on the Who ~ vas a good game
i'm many WAYS. The three double plays
Nv the Sox were all cOrkers. Washing
ton did not get into the summary WIN
dual killings, but most Of the work was
good and Mcbride n Gessler did some
clever fielding. The fact that GeSsler
can play hrst base is a home hint 70
remember next spring II II is necessary
10 shift Ungiaub 10 some other position.
Kid-SIump's kid brother must be on the
lob IN Philadelphia. Did YOU ever see
such an upsetting Of dope as when the
Athletics lost TO Cleveland the very
day Detroit lost to New YORK:
McAleer is naturally not vet in a
DOsitiou 10 know or state VIVA he IS
going 10 do in the way or making
changes in the Washington lineup tulS
winter. but the fans would like some
intimation about whether Browne.
Gessler. ReisIlnG. Schaefer. and Conroy
will be- in the lodge when the call to %
SOuth is sounded. These are old-JlIh-
ers. aud McAleer has had such hard
luck with that kind this year ne may
| start on n general house but
a good thing may be carried too far
II is hardly likely that he Viii dispose
of AIN these men and leave nothing hut
those o. not more than two or three
years service in the major leagues
McBride's batting streak continues.
