Manager Lawlor's Colts meet
Brooklyn In the second game OF he
series Tuesday afternoon, and II ID
expected that there will be another
interesting game. While the Brook
lyns have about the fastest and best
fieiding team that has yet been here'
they do not seem to be very strong
with the stick, and If the local twirlers
are In good form the Colts may have
a good chance Of coming out Of the
game with the large side OF the score.
Jackson, Hale, verbout and Reveiie
win probably be the twirlers from
whom will be selected those who are
to work against the Brookiyns Tues
II Nerhout- and -Rexs!le- aFe-sa
rood forsn-tA chances are that the
game will be good one and result
In even closer score than that OF
Monday.
The Brooklyn team appears woe
fully weak with the bat. In Mon
days game they secured only eight
hits, though they did succeeding In
punching these. Four were made In
the first, when they got their first
four runs, and two were made in the
fourth inning. when they added their
last two runs to the score. They may
show q reversal of form In batting in
Tuesdays game. however, and for this
reason 1t ia hoped that the Colts
pitchers will be In good shape.
Mcmillan, the Brooklyn shortstnp,
Is a marvel of speed. He prevented
the locals from adding several runs
to their score Monday by his sen.
sational fielding work. He robbed
both Lawlor and Titman OF what
looked to be clean singles In the
sixth inning, had Ave assists to his
credit The player is weak at the
bat, however. He was at bat four
times. and the best he got was a
sacrifice hit.
Both Dessau and Mcintyre. who
twiried for Brooklyn In Mondays
game, showed more form than has
been exhibited by any other pitchers
who have worked here this season.
The locals found Dessau for four hits
during the five innings he pitched.
but he kept them well scattered. Nc
fntyre allowed but to hits; the one
run scored on him.y however, was
earned.
Each team had six men left on
base Monday. but the local twfriers
