able performance, and Will throw n
scare into the Wisenheimers who bet
that Washington would finish last this
season

and, blessed dTeami Boston is in the first
division. where we haven't been since
the big wind. The decreasing tnO1 ght

division berth is that Boston has d good
club that PLAYS ball deserving of its
present or even better position. and Is

occasionally aIlict all teams have been
seldom on TOP.
Frank Smith turned his ankle in the
game against Washington yesterday
ana Will be out two weeks or more
The trimming Of the Sox yesterday
was largely due TO the whOle-sOuled
support given Doc Reisling by Doc
GcsSler- The latter made a throw 10
the plate that cut of a run, and nailed
another OveT-zealOuS athlete who sin
Sied 10 right and ran too far past first
IN spying out the land 10 see whether
there was a chance TO make il a two
