Walkers batting is the fact that he
does not hit at anything that Is not
over. He appears to have a perfect
eye. and efforts to fool him into hitting
at balls inside or outside have failed to
date.
The first time up yesterday Doc
White dished him up slow one. Walk
Ter timed it perfectly and cracked it to
left for a base Incidentally Walker
illustrated yesterday that ne has some
throwing arm. In the ninth inning he
made splendid stop of Mullins hard
single and without steadying him
fortunately it went a trif1e wide OF
the mark or he would have been in
strumental in pulling off one of the
fastest plays seen here this season.
That Chicago team must always be
reckoned with. When its pitchers are in
form ii is going to be dangerous ag-
grega ton, for there has been a great inn

of the team Callahan and Bodie are a
pair Of splendid hitters and the Sox are
making many more runs han they use to
ager McAlecr is acting wisely. The
youngster was disc outraged with his fail
ure to hit and had he been left in the
game he might have gone from bad t.
worse. \ little rest may bring him back
to good form and in the meantime the
playing second and Conroy at third.
Nothing makes catcher look worse
than TO have his pitchers give opposing
impossible TO catch a fast man if he
gets a running start on the pitcher. as
was the case in yesterdays game. In

There has been considerable fault
found with the way the local pitchers
hold the base runners to the bag this
spring. Neither Ainsmith nor Street
both good throwers. has thrown out
his usual number Of stealers on this
account, and many games have been lost
because of this weakness.
There has been no better fielding game
played here this season than the one OF
Yesterday Both teams did themselves
proud in this respect. The inflelds made
Bride in particular did some brilliant
work. There was no complaint coming
on the support the two pitchers received
They could not have asked for better.
Doc Gessler had two chances yesterda y
10 break up the game. but he found Doc
White too much for him. In the eighth
with none on, Gessler hit a couple OF very
nara louis. one OF them went over tIe
fence in right and tho other came nearly
tearing the legs off Ainsmith. who was
coaching at first base. Gessler had the
bases full in the first. but White struck
him out and there were two on and none
out in the sixth when he flied out &c

GeSsler much. but Doc White has ever
been a source of annoyance to him.
There were several opportunities for the

rosy they fell before the artful work o.

team. The score tells the rest OF It.
