"Old Man Titus 'home-runned'
again yesterday and won a game Tor
the Phillies. 1t was his second circuit
hit in w days and his fourth in a

Otis Johnson, who us ID to swat the
old pill hard enough to make hoes in
the atmosphere when he wore q Jersey
City uniform last year and led the
Eastern League in home runs, leaned
on the leather and laced it out three
times yesterday in h Athletic Yankee
controversy. Two of his taps were
good for three perches and the other
a long e gle. Otis scored one of to
Yanks' runs and hammered home the
other.
George Wiltse has seen his best days
as a big league pitcher. He is begin
ming to slip. Yesterday he was ham
mered out of the box by Brooklyn, AMI

Another recruit gets the hook,
Pitcher knapp has been let out to
New Orleans by Cleveland.
Looks as though Hughey Jennings
has bolstered up the weak spots on has
team. Gainor is playing a great game
at first. Yesterday he singled twice
and a one double. When Cobb and
Crawford fall to hit the other Detroit
ers take up the cudgel and there is
never any slumping in the Jennings
crew. Yesterday, for instance, Cobb
had but one hit and Crawford none.
Delehanty. Stanage and Muilin, the tail
ends on the batting list, had six hits
among them, Gainor three n Bush
two. Woe to the pitcher who has to
