bat for Lelivelt. But as Lelivelt had been
announced to the umpire batting he
was out OF the game when Afnsmith bat
ted for him and could not have been used
under any circumstances thereafter. 1t
was a good move on the part OF Duffy,
for Hovlik was going poorly at the time,
and Lelivelt might have broken the game
up there and then.
Pittsburg is coming with a rush The
Pirates moved into second place In the
National League race yesterday by their
victory over the Giants. This was the
fifteenth victory out of the last sixteen
games played. At that rate Clarke's men
won't be long out of first place.
According to Mike Kahoe. Washington
will have two Of the fastest runners in
! the league when Long and Moeller the
two Outfelders. report kahoe says that
both can step down the base paths like a
Cobb. though Long is a right-handed hit
ter, and both are said to be excellent base
runners.
Ball players are hardly to be blamed
for not recognizing the applause which
some plays bring them, for they must
after a time learn the fckleness or the
fans. 1t is fact that the individuals
who are always shouting for the pitcher
to he taken out the moment anything
goes wrong are also the first to cheer
themselves hoarse for the same player
when he happens to perform to their lk-
ing. Then. too, often applause is be-
slowed wnen it is not deserved The
| other day, for instance, Walker made a
really remarkable one-hand catch of a
ball he should have been sitting under
and mad there been the old wooden stands
they would have been torn down by the
| enthusiastic spectators.
Gessler's hit in the fifth would have
been an easy home run on any open field.

line drive which struck near the top of
the fence and rebounded into McIntyres
hands. Doc could not even have reached
second on the drive, and it was easily the
hardest hit ball of the day.
It does not seem that the Chicago
club has picked up prize in Joe
Hovlik. He is not much more of a
played here. His inability to control
his spitbalI gets him into a lot OF
holes, and when he is forced to go to
| his curve and fast one he hasn't enough
| on 1t to fool the average batsman. AT
! that he appears to be troublesome fell
| low to get runs on because OF his spit
| ball, which, when he gets it over, Is de-
| cidedly hard to connect with.
| Carl Cashon is perhaps the biggest ma n
| in the American League. The youngster
| though but twenty years old stands over
| six feet two inches in his stocking feet
ana weighs ZO1 POUNDS stripped. Ine
! best thing about him is the fact that he
| is not at all awkward and decidedly fast
| on his feet.

there is hardly any one else. unless 1t be
Ainsmith, who can beat the big fellow In
hundred-yard sprint. Cashion i'm
! pressed iMcAleer to such an extent with
| his hitting against Walsh that this big
| fellow will be used in the pinches when
ever a right handler is pitching against
! the locals. He handles himself very nat
urally at the plate, takes a good swing
at the ball. and shows no inclination to
| want to step away from the plate. 1t is
very evident that Cashion's batting aver
age while with the Greenville tenn was
| not Cash in the pan. He hit over 400
| with that club.
Beckef and Cashion will be used regu-
| larly from this out by Manager McAleer
| Not onlySjs this pair apt to win a ma
| jority of their games. but the work they
will get npw will give them lot of ex-
perience Tor future purposes. This is
| particularly true of Cashion, who, until
this year, never pitched ball before.
