THE SECOND COMBAT.

A rumbling roar shook the concrete
coliseum to its foundations as the great
Walter johnson emerged from the dug
out to warm up, preparatory to pitching
the second game. johnson did not ap-
pear to be eff color, although he looked
as II he had lost a little weight from
Lis recent illness.
Joe Wood. the Red Sox winning twirler,
was matched against johnson, which in
dicated that Jake Stahl was prepared To
do battle from start to finish.
johnson mixed up slow ones with his
terrific speed. used his curve ball oc-
casionally, and the first twelve men who
faced him went back to the bench as
last as they came up. It was not until
the NTH that a safe hit was registered
on johnson, and this swat produced
run. Lewis opened the NTH by striking

THE OPENING FRACAs.

1t looked as II Bob Groom had been
launched upon stormy waters when the
first game opened, for after Hooper had
been retired, Yerkes tripled to right, and
Speaker doubled to left, scoring Yerkes.
Lewis hoisted to Shanks, but Gardner
singled over McBride's head, and Speaker
bolted home. Morgan and Gandl retired

could do in the run department while
Lanky Bob Groom was on the mound, al
though Sir Robert was in a number of

when Griff's Climbers tied the score in

Walker singled, and Foster planted a
safe blow in left. Milan crashed to

were on even terms with the enemy.
These three bingles on OBrien in
