NOTES OF THE GAME.
No: we didn't win.
But it took ten innings for chase's
band to trim US.
Dixie Walker was not there with the
on the bench.
Both teams profited by loose playing
and each scored a run which could oe
directly attributed to errors.
Henry took what appeared to be
foolish chance to score In the fourth
when Street drove sharp single to
Birdie Cree, but Blair. who had replaced
Sweeney, dropped the assist and he got
away with it
KNIGHT scored a run in the fourth
which was caused by Cunningham's fall
ure to field Cree's offering. Otis John
son followed with a double into the left
field pavilion.
Each team changed pitchers early in
the game. Steamboat Bill" Otey re-
placed Walker. while Jack Warhop re-
lieved Abels.
otey twirled a beautiful game until the
tenth, when he seemed suddenly TO lose
his effectiveness He also deserves lot
of credit for the manner in which he
felded his position.
started to twirl, gets credit for the VIC
tory, as his team was leading to when
his removal took place.
Milan made a wonderful shoestring
catch IN the first, when he came in at
top speed and grabbed Birdie Cree's wal
lon to his territory. The little fielder
made a head-frst dive. turned two or
three somersaults, but came up with the
ball safely lodged In his glove.
Bill Otey relieved Walker in the Sec
ond inning after Sweeney had tripled to
left center, scoring Johnson. who had
received a pass to first. Otey pitched
good ball in this inning, making Wolter
hit him a grounder and forcing Sweeney
at the plate.
Street was declared out by Umpire
Connolly in the second on a pretty play
by Hartzell and Johnson Roy managed
to knock down his vicious slam toward
third and Johnson was waiting for the
ball. His throw to Chase nipped our
backstop by an inch.
Milan hit a grounder to Johnson in
the third which hugged the ground until
within three feet of the short fielder 8
hands, when it took 4 sudden crazy
bound directly into his waiting paws. He
got the speedy boy by not more than
an eyelash.
Warren Miller was put in to hit for
Otey at the start of the tenth, and made
good, pounding a one-base clout to the
unguarded territory around second base.
Manager Hall played the first sack as
he only can play it, and saved Roy Hart
zell an error by a one-hand stab CT a
throw that was on a journey to the
stands.
While Washington was practicing, a
ball landed in the bleachers and travelled
twenty-five feet upon the heads and
shoulders of the occupants before it
finally found a resting place.
Otis Johnson, for the Yankees, sure
looks good. He fielded his position in
fine shape, except for a little over-anx-
iety in attempting to make a double play.
which was completed through no fault
of his.
The New York infield pulled off funny
double play in the third. Schaefer had
reached first by virtue of 4 base on balls,
and when Elberfeld drove a lire hit to
the Yankee shortstop threw wild
to Chase. Schaefer must have thought
he ball had gone by Johnson. as he was
doubled up after Chase had made good
his name and travelled to the right field
stands after the ball, from where he
hurled to the first sack for the assist
Ables poled long fly to right in the
fourth, which Gessier reached after a
lard run. It was a good catch ane drew
he Doc q round of applause.
A man IN the grand stand forgot where
ne was and let out ripper. He was
promptly called to have a little confer
,nce with Capt. Doyle. The crowd in
he left field stand yelled. This way
out.' as he made his exit.
Jack Knight sure was there with the
tick. landing four hits. The Philadel-
ohia lad looks good this year, and the
,hances are that he will have his banner
eason.
Roy Hartzell made beautiful effort to
and Aiilan's drive in the eighth. ''Zeb"
.idn't land one safe until that inning.
