will be another switch in the UNI
pires tomorrow. 1t will be Bill Di-
mems turn to go behind the bat.
Klein will take the bases and Con-
molly and Brennan will go to the
outfield. The umpiring SO far has
been excellent. All OF the four have
done good work. Tommy Connolly said
to-day that the line drive of Davis
that struck him on the leg on Tues
day was the first batted BAH that
has hit him in twenty years. 1T came
right from the press stand" he re-
marked. and I couldn't see it until
it struck me. / am sorry 1t hap

Speaking of the umpiring, Connie
Mack observed to-day: IF there's
going to be criticism of Connolly
work at the Polo Grounds why not
say something about Brennans de-
cision at the plate on Barry? We
have no fault to find with any of the
umpires and there's no sense in criti-
cising them, but this decision on Barry
was close, like several Connolly had
to make. and 1t went against us. 1t
could have been given either way,
but we are not finding any fault at
all with Brennan over 1t. He was
doing the best he could and gave
the decision according to the best OF
his observation
Mack and all the Athletics are de-
lighted with the work of Harry Davis.
The old fellow has been hitting the
ball and playing an important part
in the absence of McInnes. A word
OF praise is due to Fred herkie,
McGraw's sterling first baseman. He
has been troubled greatly by lame
leg but Is fighting gamely. The Sec
ond base play of Larry Doyle has
stood out prominently in the series,
and Philadelphians conceded that he
