YOUNG DANFORTH
PROVES RESCUER'
FOR THIRD TINE
Connie Mack Saves Games by
Using Youth at the
Proper Time.

Dave Danforth, who, by the way, is a
neighbor of Bob Holmes during the
winter in Waco, Texas, is the champion
rescuer these days for the Athletics.
For the third time, in as many days,
the finger from the Lone Star State
was sent in to stop the White Sox.
One day a man was on third, the next
day the bases were full and none out,
and yesterday two were on the cush-
ions n none on the retired list. Jack
Coombs was easy at times for Hughey
Duffy's %sluggers and for that reason
Danforth was pressed into service.
Corhan, a Sox pinch hitter, banged
out a triple. scoring his pals, but after
that Danforth frightened up and amid
loud applause finished the game with
the White Elephants two runs to the
good.
Pitcher Becker, of the Youngstown
team of the O. and P. League, will join
the Washington Americans.
=
Curtis Coleman, of the Tacoma Club
of the Northwestern League, has been
sold to the Yanks. He will finish the
SIdoOii WIN IdCOlld.

Milan got in a pair of doubles and as
many singles. Doc Gessler secured a
homer and single.
RUDE Vanguard seems to have the
charm these days hat Christy Mat
thewson one possessed. The $1,000
beauty has lost but thrice this season.
Wonder if McGinnity will spring that
spring announcement in 1912 that he
may get Marquard from McGraw.
-
Tom Needham worked behind the bat
for the Cubs yesterday and the Giants
ran wild. They had nine stolen sacks.
=
Clarke Griffith, according to reports,
has been highly recommended to Presi-
dent r.. l. Hedges to manage the st.
Louis Browns in 1912.
Garry Hermann is hot after Joe Tin
ker to succeed Griffith.
=
"Stuffy" McInnes, in an attempted
sacrifice yesterday, hunted the ball over
the right field fence for a double. The
late Ed. Delehanty performed similar
tricks in his days.
Charley Dooin's Phillies lost their
seventh straight game yesterday. AL
exander worked for seven innings and
left with the score tied up. Chalmers
succeeded him and is charged with the
defeat.
Russell Ford was poorly supported
yesterday and the Tigers won easily.
Birdie Cree tripled and doubled and
Earl Gardner doubled twice.
That was some sluging match be-
tween the Athletics and White Sox
yesterday. Baker got a homer, and
there were triples and~doubles aplenty.
y
Maybe Becker, Snodgrass, Herzog.
Fletcher and Meyer didn't pickle the
old pill yesterday.
Although Charley Hickman, once a
stan of the boston Americans, has a
batting average of $40, he was given
his unconditional release by Toledo
yesterday. His legs have weakened
and he could not cover sufficient ground
in the outfield.
Fred Tenney got sore at seeing the
Reds make it three straight and when
he got grabbing "Umps' Rigler sig
nailed him to beat it.
=
Cobb, Jones and Crawford hit the
ball hard and ran the bases like aero
planes.
Tex Erwin got in another homer yes
terday but the bases were not crowded
this time and the Trolley Dodgers lost.
-
Although the Giants may not win tho
pennant they will be able to claim that
they once ousted the Cubs from first
place. Barney Dreyfuss's crowd are
up there just now and as they are go
ing pretty fast these days the Cubs
must be on the alert.
Johnny Kelly was out of the game
yesterday. Benny Meyer took Kelly's
