H|LLTOPPERS PUT i.
Up RANKEST KIND
OF FIELDING GAME
Hal Chase'S Home Run En-
ables Team to Break Even
With the Maps.

After the article of ball which the
Highlanders put up in the first game
OF the double-header with the Cievelands
yesterday, It Is plainly evident why they
are now holding down fourth place In
the American League race instead OF a
better position. No. In a Ions time have
the fans witnessed such a misera BILE cx-
hibition as Chase's men gave ia the two
hours and ten minutes the game lasted.
Seven large and juicy errors tell the
story of their downfall. Jack Knight,
who holds down second base, was the
worst offender. as he made two rank
misplays. IIemphill. Dolan. Chase.
Hartzell and Magner were the other
players who helped TO make the fans
disguised by errors.
In the second tussle the Highianders
managed to play a little better and as .
consequence succeeded In winning the
game by the close score Of 6 to 4. Jack
knight rave another miserable exhibit
tion, making three errors. Ills failure
TO hold grounders and his mum OF a pop
~ were the cnenses which got him IN
bad with the spectators.
Although Manager Chase contributed
an error which proved costly. he made
UP for 1t by slamming out a terrific home
run In the sixth inning with two men
on bases. which won tho game for his
team. Chase's drive was n Of the
longest ever made on the field. After
the ball struck the ground in deep centre
It bounded high up into the bleachers
and rolled fullH ten feet before IL
dropped through the seats and disap-
peared. The H~ighlanders and the Maps
will play again to-day.

OF evil. Not metaphoriaally, but liter

less of metaphor is it to declare that
