NOTES OF THE GAME

Springfield opens tomorrow for a
run of three.
Five errors again yesterday. Here's
hoping the supply will soon run out.
Peoria was very chesty up to The
time the champs began hitting the
ball
Manager Tighe, it is understood, has
who is loose and who might make a
valuable addition to the champions
Those who have been kicking on the
ability of the Islanders to get timely
hits had no chance to growl yesterday.
When hits meant runs they were forth
coming in short order
Eddie Kohl undoubtedly has the
making of wonderful ball player III
him and he handles himself in remark
able manner in going after grounders,
but when they are shot right at him
he makes the mistake of letting the
ball play him instead of playing the
ball. There is no question in Tighe's
mind, however. but that Eddie is due
to be a sensation some day.
Pretty good exhibition of baseball
strategy, that work OF Manager T1ghe'S
yesterday. What matters it if every
man has to take his turn in the same
game? The object is to win, and if
there is a man on the bench who fits
the occasion. trot him ou5. That's
what Tighe did. Chances are if Dan
OLeary had been able to hold a bat,
he, too, would have got into the con-
test.
Kelly is having a great time getting
accustomed TO the grass diamond and
he sits down on the sod nearly every
time he is required to come into the
grass to take Founders. Tighe is going
to have some springs hidden in the
ground in the vicinity of third base
so that he can get back on his feet
again in a hurry after each slip up.
There is no occasion to worry about
Harry. Playing as he did with
broken thumb last year he proved that
he has the goods.
Bob Couchman got into the game
through Manusch's being thrown out
In the eighth inning Eckman got his
tongue twisted to the extent that he
called a strike when Gilbert threw

time confidence and dash Behind the
bat Thomas and Livingston wear well.
The pitching staff has star performers,
men who have been under fire and are
reliable.
Plank and Krause are easily the best
pair of left handlers in the country. At
kins is another coming portsider. while
Coombs. Morgan, Dygert and Bender.
who recently pitched a no hit-no run
game against Cleveland. are formida-
BILE quartet of right handlers.
There is probably no other team in
the fast set so well fortified with bril-
liant-not merely fair-extra material.
McInnes. the kid infielder. is won
der and no mistake.
Rath is another swift infelder, while
Strunk. the extra center fielder. is so
good that he may land one of the regu-
lar positions in the outfield. Heltmul-
Ter. big and brawny, can murder a left
hand pitcher and is invaluable in
pinches. Jack Lapp, the third string
catcher. is a good one.
A whole ton Of press notices will not
win penD4nt, but it Is no use hiding
the fact that Mack has a wonderful
team this year. Barring accidents. it
is certain to be a pennant competitor
to the finish.

one so high that the catcher had to
stretch to get it. George looked at
the jumps for a minute waiting for him
to change his decision because the
throw was obviously ball, but when
no word came from the umpire George
called out to him and asked him what
it was. The reply indicated that the
jumps meant to stand by his mistake
and Manusch gave him one look,
turned his back in order to be polite
and then INDUCED in a 'ha, ha, ha,"
with appropriate pounding of his bat
on the ground to relieve his mirthful
feelings. He thought it good joke,
as it was only one strike and there
was already a ball called. Then the
most surprising thing Of the whole
game happened when Eckman chased
Manusch to the clubhouse for having
given vent to his mirth at the awful
decision Couchman took his place
and laughed until he struck out.

Meyers bobbled the grounder shot at
him by Manusch. After the hit made
by Kohl, Pitcher Cook, who was well
done by that time, was blanketed and
sent to the stable, and Mr.. Gilbert,
he of ball spiking fame, took his place
on the firing line. Although he had
been warming up for three innings, he
was still wild and two bases were Sc
cured off him before he managed to
put one over 1t was the one which
Hunter picked SO effectively. There
was nothing doing in scoring way
in the next two endeavors by the
champions and the score ended 6 to B.
The score.

JONES, ON A 10000
MILE HIKE, is HERE
Is on His Return Home to Dallas,
Texas, After Footing 1t to
Nome, Alaska.

w. B. Jones, who is on the last lap
of a 10 900 mile walk across country,
arrived in the tri-cities yesterday.
The young man is making the record
tramp on a $4,000 wager, and af-
ter encountering setbacKs that would
have discouraged a less determined
individual, he sees the way clear to
reach Dallas, Texas, his destination,
on scheduled time.
Jones left Dallas March 26, 1903,
journeying to Nome, Alaska. Under
terms of the wager he must be in
Dallas July IS, this year. His con-
tract provides that he cannot beg,
borrow or accept as gift any
money. He must earn every cent
needed for expenses of the trip. He
left Dallas without a cent in MS
pockets and he must return in the
same financial condition. He must be
broke on leaving every town which
he enters.
The long distance pedestrian
walked from Dallas to Bismarck, n.
D.. where he had the misfortune to
break his ankle He remained
week in a hospital and then jour
neyed by rail 900 miles reaching
Sand Point, Idaho. His contract
provides that he must walk 1000
miles of the distance. He was per-
mitted to travel 1000 miles by rail
provided the fare money should all
be earned in one town.

THEY LOOK GOOD
Connie Mack's Philadelphia
Athletics Sensation of
American League.
PITCHERS IN GREAT SHAPE
Bender, Morgan, Plank and Dygert
Formidable Quartet-Infield
Could Not Be Better.

Stop Connie Mack and his band of
Philadelphia ball tossers and make
race Of it is the slogan all along the
American league circuit. The Athletics
are the sensation of Ban Johnson's cir
cult this season. and the team gives
every evidence of being flag winner.
Connie Mack says that his 1910 team
is the best string of ball tosserS that
he ever had in hand. and he has led
some formidable Athletic teams in his
career.
The Athletics have been hitting the
ball hard. fielding in dazzling style.
and the pitchers have shown great
strength. but more than anything else

they have been playing the game in
diligently. Brains and baseball abil-
ity, when mixed. form a combination
that is hard 10 beat. and the Athletics
appear to have these qualities.
Last year the Mack men would have
won the pennant if they had played
better baseball in the early lap of the
race. But this early weakness was
really a blessing, for it showed Connie
that he lad to make a big change.
and this he did. with the result that
he has the present powerful lineup.
Mack has a number of topnotcherS,
whose work stands out above all, yet
the others. if less conspicuous. are
good enough to make a well balanced
machine.
Two of SureSt Hltters.
In Collins and Baker the Athletics
have two of the surest hitters in the
country. Collins is a most battling
customer fora pitcher TO combat, for
he GEMS to be able to do almost any
thing with a ball. On the paths he
is both feet and cunning. Baker is a
homeric hitter of the Sam Thompson
school. He puts tremendous force be-
hind his swings. and when be meets
the ball right it travels like a projec-
tile. Barry fits in nicely at short
On the first corner Davis although
along in years is faster than three
quarters of the young first basemen
and the superior of most at hitting.
while in headwork only Chance. the
Chicago first baseman. is his equal.
If Mack's outfield was trife weak
last year it is vastly improved this
season. Dan Murphy is the same old
sure catch in right and also a power
full hitter. The veteran Hartsel has
picked up wonderfully this season and
is in the thick of the run getting.
Oldring is also showing steady i'm
