pitchers, and barring Johnson who fin

of them has shown anything like their
true form. The work of the twirlers
has been far below their standard After

For the first time this year balk
was called yesterday and Gray was the
victim. With Speaker on first and Stahl
at bat, Gray made half-motion to
throw to first and then pitched to the
plate. Dineen allowed the claim of
the Boston players at once. 1t was also
the first time in many a day that a
triple steal has been seen on the local
grounds. this being pulled by Milan,
Elberfeld and Cunningham in the third
inning of the second game.
Wher Schaefer dropped Stahrs long fly
in the first inning, which was responsible
for the two runs the visitors scored in
this inning. he had one OF his fingers
split, which will keep him out of the
game for the remainder of the season.
Pat Donovan of the Boston team is
perhaps alone in his claim that Walter
johnson is not the speediest pitcher in
the country today. a discussion came up
when Johnson went into the second game
as to which had the most speed, john
son or Wood, and Donovan took Woods

Home runs have been decidedly frequent

another in the final game. Three home
runs in two days is rather unusual on
the local grounds and every one of them
was inside of the Enclosure, those right

to lose the second game also. but they
rallied in time to get a one-run advan-

Milan saved the day with a great catch
with two out and the bases full.
