Walter Johnson will pitch the first
game of the series against the Highland
ers this afternoon. He will. III all prob
ability, be opposed by Jim Vaughn. the
crack southpaw, who has long string
of victories to his credit.
McAIeer will start the series with john
son in the hope of breaking the losing
streak which has encountered tie Ma
tionals ever since they left st. Louis
Manager McAleer was much disappoint-
ed at the showing made by his team in
Boston.
Our principal fault was weak hitting,
and. is usually the case under such
conditions. we also played poorly al times
which proved costly" said ne. When a
team is not getting runs. We were at
Boston, every little misplay stands out
prominently. and it was SO during the
games there. j know that We will get
going again. for we have played far be-
low our standard since leaving the west.
None of us has been hitting at all timely.
Gray should have won both of his games.
He pitched superb ball. and it was
shame to have him charged with two de-
feats.
Il am satisfied that during our stay at
home We will regain lot OF lost ground,
for we are sure to improve in our hitting,
and that has really been our main fault.
for the pitching has been good enough to
win a majority of the games

Walter Herrell. a young right handed
pitcher, who has been dong sensational
work in the Marquette League. will be
looked over by Manager McAleer. The
yOungster will report at the park TO-DAY
and pitch to the batters. He Is mere
boy, but his Iitching has been Of such
a sensational order that his friends have
persuaded McAleer to have a look at him.

Johnson's game today will be his third

Sunday, at Boston Wednesday and again

Bert Daniels. who originally halls from

break into the game today.
The fifth defeat at Boston yesterday

Two great catches by Tansill cut of

All three pitchers were hit hard, twen-

Greer's control was something worthy

The ST. Martins are now in second

Beall, Slack and Brewer each got three
bingles, and Drummer and Tansill two

Game tcday-Maderia vs.. Tanglewood
Yesterdays game-Tenieytown, IL; Prospect, l.
In an oid-fashioned smuggling match the
Tenleytown team took a see-saw game
from the Prospects, score IL to Il. Both
pitchers had an off day, and were touch
ed up very freely. the winners making
eighteen hits, while the losers connected
for seventeen safe drives. Prospect made
several rallies toward the close of the
contest. and in the seventh inning 1t
seemed q sure winner. Freeman went
into the box for the Suburbanites and
stopped the heavy hitting. retiring the
side in order in the eighth and ninth in

Musgrove and Chapple OF Tenleytown
were the heavy hitters. each man getting
four safe drives. Callahan. Ermatrote.
Turner, Stadler and both Freemans each
connected for three hits. The teams to-
gether batted out eight two-baggers.
Stadler, the Tenleytown pitcher. laid
down four pretty bunts. Three of them
went for hits while the other served as q
sacrifice.
Three sensational fielding plays were
pulled of. Callahan made a one-hand
catch of Chapple's Texas Lacquer that
seemed a sure hit. while Chamberlain and
that brought the crowd to its feet.
Freeman did some pretty base running
