Two out Of the four games of the White
SoX-BOston series went extra innings and
the other two were shutouts.

Praise for the Highlanders' play every
where except in st. Louis. The St. Louis
opinion will make Chase and Fellows
throw up their hands in despair.
The Yankees didn't play yesterday on
account of wet grounds. AS Cleveland
tied the Athletics and Washington kicked
Detroit on the shins, the idle day did no
harm to the New Workers.
1t was Walsh who stopped the High
landers' nine game winning streak. Null
lin who held the Athletics to thirteen
straight, Johnson who f1oored the De-
troits at eleven straight and Gaspar who
checked the Giants at nine straight.
The crucial test Of the western trip,
so far as the Yankees are concerned be-
gins today An even break in Jungle
to return to New York at the head of the
American League procession.
The Boston Red Sox will have to brace

ly as strong as year ago. Boston needs
pitchers very badly.
It was announced in Cincinnati last
night that Infielder Thomas Mcmillan has
been purchased from the Brooklyn club
by the Cincinnati Nationals for 81 500.
Connie Macks White Elephants had a
good chance to gain on the New Yorks
yesterday. but Cleveland tied the score in
the eighth and the fray was called in the
ninth to allow the Mackmen catch a
train for st. Louis.
Fred Clarke has shaken up the batting
order Of the worlds champions. Hans
Wagner now hits third and Byrne fourth,
Campbell. The combination worked well
in yesterdays game at Boston. This
quartet got eight of the Buccaneers dozen
hits.
New York tackles Detroit today. The
Jennings men are sure to give the High
landers a rub. Four straight for the
Mackmen from ST. Louis should come
pretty close to putting the Athletics back
in first place.
Capt. Kelley. second baseman of the
Notre Dame University team, arranged
yesterday to join the Chicago Americans
at the close of the school year. He will
season.
Harry Lumley, the outfielder who man
aged the Brooklyn team during the sea-

Johnny Evers' reform has taken wings.
When the season opened Johnny an
nounced that he would be the real. origi-
nal human clam. Never would he open
his mouth to dispute decision with an
umpire; never would he cast mean
glance at the tenth or eleventh man on
the field; never would he step on an
umpires toes or think a cross think.
Evers' friends said the news was too
good to be true 1t lasted a few weeks,
and last Wednesday Johnny received
message from President Tom Lynch that
he would not be allowed to play for three
days for having an argument with I'M
pire Rigler.
