COMMENT ON THE GAME.

ington fans could get out Of yester-
days shut-out by the Sox was the batting
of Delehanty and Milan, the former get
ting two clean singles and the latter one
AS this pair are hitting under the .2oI
mark perhaps their batting lamps are
Frightening up. Walsh is something of a
puzzler, and when Delehanty and Clyde
can pick out the right ones there must
be something in the indication of coming
bingles.
Some one will have to chain down
Milan's arm unless he can do better than
he did yesterday in the throwing line. He
was made to look bad, as the ball never
came within striking distance of the
plate and as a consequence the man on
first grabbed second and scores always
resulted. Guess We will have to consult
fortune teller as to the cause of Milan S
slump. He certainly was the goods last
year. but this season the kid doesn't ap-
pear able to untrack himself as the horse
men say.
The three errors chalked up against
Mcbride yesterday were coming to the
clever boy, and the club can be con-
graduated upon the fact that he got
them out of his system at the right time,
as the local club never had chance
to beat the Sox. George is leading the
American League shortstops right now,
and in addition is hitting better than
any other man in that position. He
is one of the bright spots on the Ma
tionals' map and can slip up many a
time before a murmur develops from the
fans" Mcbride is the candy kid
sure enough.
Joe Cummings, sporting editor of the
Baltimore News and very close to Man
ager Dunn of the Orioles, was in the
city yesterday afternoon. and at once
rumors became thick around the press
box as to the cause of the visit. The
local management says there was moth
ing doing as regards an exchange or
sale of players. and Cummings corrob-
GRATED this. Nuf ced.
George nsey Rice prsaf three Of chieseos sen besa @
sporting writer's, are with the White
Sox and taking care that the players
make no plays that go unrecorded. This
trio say there will be nothing> to the
race after the real hot weather sets in
and the White Sox strike their real pace.
IF we only had Detroit to beat there
would be simply romp for the Sox In
the final month";" says Sanburn.
Jakey Atz. the old Shamrock boy of this
city, is playing second for the White Sox
and doing exceptionally well In the field
ing line. Jakey is away down in the bat
ting line. but he pulled of two clean
singles yesterday ana was consequently
very happy last night. Two singles count
a whole heap" to a batter down around
the one-hundred mark.
For the remainder of the season Friday
will be ladies day" at American League
park. the fair sex being admitted free
when accompanied by an escort. Busi-
ness Manager Fowler made this an
nouncement yesterday afternoon and con-
sequently makes many people happy
thereby.
The batting of the Nationals Friday and
Saturday gave hopes to the local fans
that something might be expected along
this line in the future. There is no rea-
son why these hopes should be buried.
Ed Walsh has stopped many clubs many
times when going far better than the
locals and the boys are just as liable to
come back on their next try as at any
other time. Delehanty and Milan have
been the weak sisters and II they get in
the same boat with Conroy. Browne. I'm
glaub and Mcbride there will be some
thing doing In the run scoring line right
