COMMENT ON THE GAME.

Although the Athletics had much the
better of the argument from the tap Of
the gong until the curtain descended after
the last act. it does not require very
deep analysis of yesterdays proceedings
10 show that exceedingly close and
interesting struggle would have been af-
fortled the spectators IF ReisIing had
dropped into his stride in the first inning
instead of waiting until the second In
fact, the game might easily have been a
repetition of the last contest in which
Bender officiated for the Philadelohians
on the Washington grounds. and which
went into extra innings before the locals
succeeded in pushing the winning tally
across the pan. But Reisling did not
tighten until three hits In a row had
been made and one earned run had been
secured by the visitors-and that one was
enough. The extra run which resulted
from McBride's error on Davis drive cut
no figure in the final result.
Has Lelivelt come into the league to
stay?
Ask any one of the 1900 fans who yes
terday witnessed the fielding OF the young
man from the oretZel belt in Pennsyl-
yania Lelivelt made one of the best
catches seen on the local grounds this
wear when he came IN from lef: field on
a dead run in the fourth inning and
speared 2 pop foul off Thomas bat close

NTH round. and again the youngster from

ton Tuesday TO open threesame series
with the Beantown Differs.
An amusing mixture enlivened the
third inning Collins started with a safe
swat to right and Baker followed with
a long high fly into the same territory
Collins was in the act of rounding second
when he thought Browne had made the
catch and reversed his journey to pre-
vent being doubled at first. But Browne
muffed the ball and Baker was SO close
on Collins heels that both runners reach
ed second in close succession. Connie
Mack's premier swatster thereupon start
ed for third only to find the ball in Con-
roy's hands awaiting him. Again he
doubled back and the pursuit race APP
parently had ended when he slid safely
into second. Baker, however, was far
off first and Conroy threw to Unglaub
Then Collins made another sprint to
third and Reisling reached the unguarded
corner barely in time to make the put
out.
Yohe was sent in as a substitute batter
for Mcbride in the eighth inning. and
the fans hailed with delight his safe
drive TO center. Milan swung for Street,
but his best efforts produced only an
easy bounder to Barry on which Yohe
persisted at second.
Collins spoiled sure double play in the
fifth inning after retiring Conroy at sec
ond on Barry's assist, when he heaved
the pellet forty-six feet over Davis head
at first. The ball went into the grand
stand and Lelivelt pulled up on second
