NOTES OF THB GAME

Ray Morgan. native of Baltimore.
was given a great hand by the crowd
when he came to bat in the second in
ming. and responded by pumping a
single into left field. The youngster
also covered himself with glory in the
field.
Dan MoeIler is no stranger to the
Monumental City, as he played there
with the Rochester club last year.
Many persons in the crowd recognized
Moeller. and one wag in the grand
stand yelled out: How does II feel to
be big Lacquer Dan?"
Germany Schaefer, as usual had a
lot of fun with the crowd. The Dutch
man pulled on a laughable stunt in
the fifth when he dragged chair into
the coacher's box, and, while sitting
down, started to give his team mates
encouragement Ray Morgan was Ger
