LET'S
Get
Together

Cole 30 will be handed out All you
two million ticket holders out,
please.
The Dollar Day idea is a good one.
Fans over the Tri-State circuit have
helped their teams in this way and
the locals should prove as loyal.
Johnny Castles name ought to be
painted on that left field fence The
stab he made there on Kerr deserves
lasting memorial
Kerr upset all dope by failing 10
sacifice in the third inning. He sin
gled to right.
Meyers got Boyle's drive in the
eighth, but there was no one on first
to make the out
Weeks cleared the boys while the
going was good.
The Highlanders charged big in
terest for the loan Of their suits
to the Tigers and trounced Hughey's
aggregation 3 to ?.
Jennings foresaw the hoodoo, re-
fused to don Broadway attire. His
predictions we're fulfilled when Tyrus
and Bush allowed Chase's sphere to
drop between them as they stood five
feet apart.
Pittsburgh lit up in the eighth
round and before the Brooklynites
] H. ,.I- hrtr he
I game was lost Wilson started the
winning streak. Mccarthy assisted
and Gibson hit TO the center garden
scoring both men.
Johnny Killing handed the fourth
straight to the Cubs on silver plat
ter He got a kink in his arm and
the Chicago team stole bases at
will.
The Reds by punching their hits
broke even with the Phillies by
trouncing them Z to 6. Sensational
rally in the final round by the Phil
lies gave them four tallies.
The President didn't bring the Ma
tionals much luck and the Windy
City bunch. under Ed Walsh. won 5
to 8.
They sure do some funny things
in baseball over at New Castle. Now
Gene Chase rushes into print to let
the fans know that he. as captain Of
the New Castle club didn't have any
thing to do with the starting of or
the awarding of last Saturdays Mad
ison-New Castle game TO New Castle.
Didn't suppose he had any part IN
awarding the game but If he did not
tell the ump after that storm that
the ground was suitable for playing
land he says he didn't, he certainly
did slip up on one of the most i'm
portant rules of baseball. Genes
confession means that the game does
not belong to New Castle and will be
played later. Everybody, except
Gene. was of that opinion on Mon
day
Jimmy Clark is out of the game at
York. He fell at second yesterday
and broke his right leg at the
ankle.
Probably the obstetrics didn't care
TO see their representatives at the
foot of the list in the club standing
II must be admitted II doesn't look
good when you are sticking over the
top Of the ladder.
Sporting writer's are getting lots
Of dope from that Johnstown aggre-
cation these DAYS. That Chester deal
was some class
Harrisburg fans are hoping that
the Phillies keep that hard luck jinx
Gagged. The Senators. in their present
position, cannot stand any setback, so
let Mr.. Snake-face Jinxs steer clear
of the capital city.
Wonder if George Cockill can
imagine how the fans would greet
him If the pennant would be sent 10
Harrisburg. II he can not, he should
lose no time in getting wise. Some
say the flag cannot possibly enter
another city. Here's hoping that is
the case.
The departure Of Pitcher Kent from
Brooklyn to Toronto marks the end OF
another man sent up from the South
ern last year. He was a Baron in
1911.
George Pierce. tried by both the
Cubs and the Giants and listed as a
total failure has again been bought
hy the Cubs. He has starred with
Scranton this year. He struck out p
players in a recent game.
Clark Griffith who has seen every
! pitcher worth mentioning since the
days when they began to throw 'em
overland, says that Walter Johnson
is the greatest pitcher the world ever
knew He says Walter has II on
Rusies best efforts in speed and
control.
Cobb is a great ball player all
right. but that strike he started SO
disorganized the Detroit team that II
hasn't been in the running since.
The signing Of a two-year contract
with Detroit by Jennings marks the
end OF that famous incident.
The players who kick don't last the
longest on the diamond according to
Hank ODay. Nine times out OF
ten.' says Henry. "the players kick
to cover up their own faults"
; If Daubert takes the job as man
ager at Brooklyn it is certain that he
