to be something just about as fam

The crowd began to howl with
delight the first thing when Magee,
one Of the most terrible of the ter
rible band, stood bewildered while
Carruthers howled "strike!" as the

Ostdiek's big nit, but about the

There was lots of fun about that
game for the fans, and they gave
Dad" Brown the hand that they
had saved for the hero of the day
when with Lynchs hot drive burn
ing his nit he fell bodily across
second base, catching Bennett, who
was forced from first by the
batter.
Ostdiek outgeneraled the Turks
in great shape In one inning he
stood way clear of the plate and
took the first one Miller lobbed
over in a bunt and beat it out, then
he stole second and about two
blinks later pilfered third, and
then scored. Mike Lynch nearly
turned summersault in his wrath.
This performance of Ostdiek was
one of the brilliant features of the
day.
Miller was easy pickin's for the
Indians. Dutch" Altman, drat his
tricky skin, worked him for score
in the first inning, nearly getting
Miller's ears pulled by Chief Turk
Mike. He had already stolen third
and was leading off the sack to-
ward the plate, keeping his eye
on Miller and Allen like a sinking
cur defying his master to throw the
threatened stone. AS Miller faced
the plate and began to wind up
Dutch" started and Miller baked,
walking James at bat and allowing
Altman to score.
Capron lined out a three Dagger

Miller and Shea flew to Brown, and
Seattle's bright hopes again went
glimmering.
Altman gave a demonstration of
quick thinking yesterday that left
Bobby James in the lurch complete

left to catch a runner going home
on caught fly. Altman saw that
he couldn't get the man at home
and at the same moment he also
saw the chance to get one at Sec

James was standing off with the
one idea in his head that the ball
ought to be thrown home. Had Ste

him. He Is only five feet five, but
is solidly built weighing $50
pounds, but what he lacks in size
and weight he makes up in grit

In pitchers battle against Gray

Washington till the ninth inning,
with but one hit on him. For con-
