not resort to this set system be owes

It is also true that the lacking Of

Athletics in the present series 1he

attributed to the same deficiency. Up

the game for his team by hitting the

any one got the impression from that
performance that Egan Is somewhat OF

Johnson yesterday would have dispelled
times during the afternoon. and on each

looked like an amateur against Johnson.

Without rejecting on the ability Of
Schaefer and Walker there Is no doubt
that Grifhth's team was considerably
weakened when Moe;ler and Morgan had
to retire because of injuries. With this
pair in the lineup Griffith had winning
