BY J. ED GRILLo.

Jack Lelivelt is doing for Rochester ex-
actly what was expected. His hitting is
the marvel of the International League.
and most of the games which his team is
winning can be directly attributed to his
good stick work. Lelivelt, who is in per-
feet health this spring, is in fair way
to establish a batting record. and there
is not the slightest doubt that he will
return to fast company next season.
A player who can hit as can Lelivelt,
even though he be not a high-class fielder.
is of great value to big league team.
Hitters, after all, are few and far between
and Lelivelt would fit in nicely here right
now. Griffith made every effort to pre-
vent Lelivelt from going to Rochester.
but the deal which gave Washington
Moeller, Foster and Spencer was ironclad
and included Lelivelt-
One reason for letting Lelivelt go back
to the minors was the impression that
he suffered from rheumatism. but 1t was
found that such was not the case. but
that nerves in his leg had grown to-
pains An operation during the winter
remedied this trouble and Lelivelt is sure
to improve in his fielding.
There, should be some consolation in the
fact that to date the Nationals have play
ed only what is purported to be the
strongest teams in the league excepting
the series with New York Chicago. Phil
adelphia and Boston are figured to be
sure contenders, and yet Chicago is the
only one of these teams which has made
the Nationals look outclassed. The re-
mainder of the western teams cannot be
going as good as are the Sox and much
Of the ground lost to the leaders may be
recovered.
The ,pessimists, of course, predict that
the losing streak which the Nationals
have struck is but the beginning of a
slump which will carry the team to near
the bottom, where they hold it belongs
There is, however. not much danger of
that, for the team is strong enough to
finish higher than it has in years and
II will recover from the present setback
shortly and make up some OF the lost
ground.
There is going to be something stirring
right soon which will shorten games
played in the American League. Presi-
dent johnson is a stickler for short
games and he is now trying to find out
why it is that games in his league are
dragging. To some extent the umpires
are at fault They allow delays by play
ers comforting during game. Then,

the present voting. it is a safe prediction
that attendance will suffer, for patrons of
the game do not like the idea of getting
home to dinner after 1 o'clock.
Yesterday was the first time in eight
games that Eddie Foster failed to get
a hit, and he walked once at that.
Jimmy Block. who is doing all the
catching for the Sox. is much improved
catcher. Not only is he handling the
delivery of all the pitchers well. but his
throwing to bases is perfect and he is
his hitting. Block was once member
of the local team. but he was then a
green hand. while now he must be rated
with the best catchers in the league.
Schaefer is displaying a lot Of ability
as a thrower. He nailed two men at
the plate yesterday on long throws which
were right to the mark.
If the pitching staff of the Chicago
team was in good form that team would
stand brilliant chance of gaining so
good lead In the race that it would be
are in a bad way. Walsh is not in con-
dition to pitch. while it will be some time
before Doc White can go the route.

pended upon, is suffering with rheuma-
tism, so that the work falls on Benz.
who are hardly able to hold the team up.
II the Sox can hold their own until
their pitchers come around they should
be contenders right to the finish.
Benz would never have lasted through
the fifth inning. He started by walking
Henry and Walker before he had man
out, but Henry allowed himself to be
caught mapping Off of second. Moeller
followed with a base hit to right, on
which Walker tried to reach third and
was nailed. Moeller then stole second
and Foster walked. With two balls and
no strikes on Milan, Moeller tried to
steal third. but was called out by Per
rine, and a rally which threatened to
eliminate the Sox from the contest was
ended
Jack Knight makes the play in tossing
to the pitcher when covering first differ
ent from any other first baseman. AS a
rule the ball is aimed for the bag. the
pitcher being timed in his run to cover 1t.
Knight. however. throws the ball at the
pitcher while he is feet away from the
bag. and this made two very close plays
at first yesterday.

too, the average pitcher wastes a lot Of
time by standing behind the rubber FOR
his s1gnaf from the catcher. and then
posing on the slab. But the catcher's
shinguards also handicap the speed CT a
game. for at least three times in a game
they have to take them or and IN. and
this consumes some minutes. Just as
soon as President johnson learns the fact
he will devise means for shortening the
games.
There is perhaps no team in either
major league which displays its use OF
strategy more than do the White Sox.
Under the slightest provocat On a confer
ence between Lord and Callahan IS in
order, and while these confabs cause a
lot Of delay, there is no doubt that they
serve their purpose. Lord and Callahan
are wise base bail men and there is no
doubt that they help their team out Of
,, many ticklish situation by outwitting
their opponents In a pinch. but there are
rules which do not allow these delays
and umpires should enforce them.
Big Ed Walsh. who has been forced to
stand a greater strain during the past
five-or six years than any other twirier,
because he has worked in more games
may be at the end of his string. Walsh
has been misused by his club by being
worked In full games and then finishing
those that other pitchers started. He
has worked in about fifty games a year
on an average and the result Is that his
arm rs suner1ng from the strain. 1t
would undoubtedly have been wiser had
Walsh been worked in regular order only,
for he would then have lasted much long
er than he is apt to, and he would also
have been more likely to retain his high
form more consistently.
In the seventh inning Of the game which
was played by the Giants and the St
Louis club "wednesday afternoon an un
usual incident occurred which has given
rise to an argument as to whether Q bats
man is entitled to q double chance at bat
in the same time at the plate.
Tesreau rolled grounder to Smith. and
in his effort to make a fast play the field
er unfortunately threw so accurately that
he hit Owens, the field umpire. in the
head and knocked him unconscious. Hart
ley, who was on third at the time. was
sent back to the bases and Tesreau was
ordered to bat again.
Section of rule Is reads:-"The base
runner shall return to his base without
liability to be out il the person or cloth
ing OF the umpire interfere with the
catcher in an attempt to throw. or the
umpire be struck by ball thrown by the
catcher or other fielder to intercept a
base runner.
There is nothing in this rule which says
