Boston, June 22-Of all the cities in
the United States. Boston Is the limit
when il comes 10 getting down on ball
player and staying down. Bob Unglaub's
case IN the opening game is fair sam
pie. and Bob is about as popular with the
fans and baseball writer's in Boston as
a ease of smallpox.
In the seventh inning of Tuesdays
game Unglaub drove a high fly TO right
center. Both Hooper and Engle raced
after the ball at top speed. Hooper Just
managed 70 touch it with the tips Of his
fingers. Hooper Is one of the fastest
outhelders in the American League.
Now, what do the Boston scorers do?
The writer turned to the veteran of the
press box, man who has followed base
bah for twenty years. and said: Mice
little two-bagger for 'Ungie,' eh?" Then
the baseball writer's started:
"Two-bagger. nothing: error for Hooper.
He muffed it squarely," one Of them re-
piled.

others. whereupOn the six leading base

Why was discrimination shown here?
The answer is simply this: The Boston
baseball writer's ares down on Unglaub.
and the best he ever gets in the Hub is
the worst OF it; al least, that's what IN

Manager McAleer is the happiest man

Jake Stahl made his grand squirt as man
ager and cleaned up everything IN sight
on the first Western trip five years ago.
It proved only a squirt. as everybody
knows for when the team reached home
they lost just as consistently as they
had previously won. and finished well in
the ruck. McAleer's team this season
IS not going to finish at the bottom Of the
heap by a long shot. They are playing

1910 season pretty near the top Of the
second division.

Unglaub told Hinriehs yesterday that one
Of the streets in Boston was so crooked
that if he went out for a walk he would
meet himself coming back. and Hinrichs
swallowed the bait whole. vowing that
he would look that street over right aft
er supper. At II o'clock Hinrichs had
not appeared at the hotel. and the boys
thought he had lost his way and started
out on a SIN hunt, finally locating the
big fellow IN a downtown drug store
slipping an ice cream soda.
The writer had long chat with Jimmy
Caravan, the old timer. who is now
scouting through the East for the De-

in charge of the New Bedford team Of
the New England League. and had a
lot TO say about Catcher Ainsmith, of
the Lawrence club, who has been pur-
chased by Washington. Caravan de-
cleres that Ainsmith Is easily the best
minor league backstop In the East. He
