A cyclone cellar is the only safe
place for some pitchers in these latter
days of baseball.
Viewers showing against the Phil
lies gives that trade an improving
aspect.
Joe Wood holds a commanding place
among the list of American League
pitchers and each game of late sees
new victory added to his growing
string. Last week he had no trouble
in defeating both New York and Phila-
delphia outpitching both Coembs and
Fisher. The defeat suffered by Coombs
was his first in three weeks The
work of the other Boston American
pitchers has been very inconsistent
and the chief trouble seems to be the
inability of any of them to go the full
distance Halls work Saturday was
brilliant for eight innings but after
that he had nothing" and the Ath-
1etics had no trouble in banging them
safe. The work of Vaughn and War
hop of the New York IIighlanders has
been of such character as to attract
attention. Both of these men have
rounded into form am their work is
partly responsible for the recent ex-
cellent showing of their team. Quinn
also has been doing very consistent
work
