Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-09-14

The Nationals tackle the Red Sox
again this afternoon and Mr. Witherup
will try and fool them with his fast
curves.
The National League must be in bad
in Boston when a single game with a
tail-end team outdraws a double header
with the Giants
No wonder the Washington printers
lost Dave Mccarthy wasn't there with
his two doubles. The Baltimore pitcher
is some twirler.
The eyes of the fans will be turned
toward Philadelphia commencing Thurs
day. The Tigers are there for four
days. and it all depends. all depends.
The Washington printers. seeing they
couldn't trim the Baltimoreans on the
diamond. brought them downtown and
did them up at dnckpins. The locals
go over to Baltimore next Monday.
Ed Sumers has made one balk since
he started pitching for the Tigers. He
pulled that off last week on Birming
ham of Cleveland.
The Hartford club of the Connecticut
League has won its first pennant, and
that city has been represented in o.,
ganized ball since 1876. But it never
is too late to acquire the pennant habit.
1t would not be surprising to see Nc
Ginnity back in the big league next
season. He surely hasn't lost great
deal of his old-time cunning when he
can shut out Jersey City 1 to 0 and al
low them only three hits.
Pennsylvania fans are going to have
worlds series all to themselves.
7 ri II,
challenged Wilkesbarre, the New York
State League. pennant winner, to a
bunch of games.
The Athletics and Boston are so
evenly matched that they practically
chewed each other up this season.
Mack's men won eleven games from the
Red Sox and the latter beat the White
Elephants ten times. Detroit was the
gamer by their close competition.
Jesse Burkett. the former star major
league ball player. surely is a wizard
at developing amateur talent into real
live ball players. Worcester has only
been in the New England League four
years. yet in that time he has pro-
duced four straight pennant winners.
Daily Stark. the San Antonio shortstop
signed by the Clevelands. has a great
reputation as a clown player in the
Texas League. He is long on comedy
stunts, but Jim MCGUIRE declares he
never saw a more earnest worker for all
that.
George Boice. the Oakland (Cal) club
pitcher. who has been drafted by the
Clevelands. was born and broken into
the base ball game in Jersey He started
his professional f1inging with the Dover
Club Of the Lackawanna League.
Bill Dineen. the former star pitcher,
has made his debut as an umpire in the
American League. All the players in
the league have sent him messages OF
sympathy. 1t surely is a hard life:
much harder than trying to live up to
or live down the reputation of having
once been a star.
Johnny King has been in the base ball
game too long to be fused up over the
suspension bugaboo. If he stays as good
as he was when he quit the game, and
wants to play with the Cubs or any
where they would place him. the sus-
pension will have about the consistency
of a strip of tissue paper.
The Rochesters are losing their grip
in the Eastern League. Newark, the
club under the management of Iron Man
McGinnity. is making a strong play for
the gonfalon, and the supporters of his
team believe they are not getting their
sentiment run away with their Judgment
when they predict Newark will land first
place. The Bronchos are only two games
