Continued from rage one.
in the second changed the complexion of
budding rally, which suddenly grew i'll.
That same Duffy Lewis not only fielded
Henry's hit in good fashion, but he cap
tured several balls hit to his territory
that would have given the Nationals a
look in.
Dutch Schaefer was the guardian OF
the left field pasture, Lelivelt idling.
Dcnovan's selection of Ray Collins TO
adorn the firing line caused the change.
as Lelivelt is not especially effective
against southpaw beavers.
The fans got their first glimpse of
''Hackenschmidt" Conway, he being sent
to right after Gabby hit for Miller in the
eighth. Nothing came his way except a
hit which he looked after in the proper
manner
Conway was not the only Hacken-
schmidt in the game, as Clyde Engle,
the big boy, was very much in evidence.
While he had one error chalked up
against him, he played superb game.
Williams was also there with the bingle
stuff. polling two doubles to the far cor
ner of the lot. If he don't cinch the first
base job he will be a handy man to
have hanging around II he can continue
to clout the ball.
Gardner has the distinction of making
the first hit off of Walter Johnson. At
that 1t would have been an easy put-out
had Walter not given Collins a free
ticket to first, which brought John Henry
to the bag.
Warren Miller gave Engle a hard
chance in the fourth when the third
sacker was forced to miss the young
lakes in an effort TO get his foul back
Of third. Engle showed that he could do
the lodging act and held on to the ball.
The grounds were in fearful condition,
and 1t is a wonder that so much good
fielding resulted. Cunningham slipped
when just about to field a ball from
Gardeners bat, and the Boston man gets
credit for a hit which on a good field
would have been a sure out.
When Williams hunted and Ainsmith
threw high over Henry's head, Warren
Miller was on the job in the backing up
line. The youngster came in fast and
was able to hold Williams on first.
'Heinie'' Wagner wasn't in the game,
but he gave a pretty exhibition OF how
to pick up a grounder on the third base
coaching line. Hooper drove one his way,
and with the grace of Latoie. the Boston
captain gathered in hard chance.

it was about to enter the left field pavil-
ion. Elberfeld also poled one in that
neighborhood. but the California boy is
not the one TO overlook any such
chances.
johnson had hard luck in the fifth.
Four of the five men who faced him he
struck out. but Speaker landed for a
double to the clubhouse after Ainsmith
had dropped Gardner's third strike and
tally came over the pan.
Lewis poled one over the second sack
that looked good for base, but the
Cap" made a beautiful stop. and while
stretched out on the ground tossed to
Cunningham. Gardner, who was on first
when the ball was hit. was forced.
The wind played havoc with Ainsmith.
He missed two easy foul flies which ordi-
narily would have been pie for the
youngster. His throwing was not up to
his usual standard; but they all have
their off days, so don't worry about It
Gardner had a good day with the bat,
connecting for three safeties. This boy
is playing a good game for the Bean
- l.
Cheer up; New York's coming.
