CHANCE TO WIN AMERICA AN RAG

ter Murphy is going finely, however
in the garden.
In the meanwhile the Boston lads are
going like a house afire. Iris Speaker
is hitting one, two, three in the race
for the swatting honors while Lewis and
Hooper are doing their share of the az
gressive work. In the infield the sug-
gested weak spot-second base, has been
acceptably filled by Yerkes, who Is play
ing a strong game. Stahl. Wagner and
Gardner complete the fast in1eld and are
doing their share of the burden. Carrl-
gan is as good a catcher as the American
league possesses, while Cady, young re-
ceiver, is doing fine work behind Joe
Wood.
The pitchers are stronger than any
other department of the machine. Joe
Wood, Hall and Buck O'Brien have been
beaten very seldom this season. Wood
continues to lead the mound artists and
many believe that he is in a class by
himself Hall has pitched strong ball,
while O'Brien, Bedient and Collins have
won easily, too.

he is scoring more runs and fielding
better, and witha1 he is no bladder"
The Lookouts look good not only when
they are far away. They look like pie
everytime we see them. Seldom this
season has the aggregation of Smith
walloped the Barons. But at that the
Lookouts have won more games than
they should have won. The Barons should
never lose to a clan such as that the
visitors compose. Andrews might have
been kinder to Bill Smith.
At the same time, we would not advise
the Barons to get "chesty." AS matter
of fact, it is our candid belief that their
recent slump was due to their belief that
they were better and stronger and holder
and more battle SCARED than any other
aggregation.
AS a matter of fact, the Barons feed
on the same meat on which Fieharty
feeds, which is another way of saying
that they are only human after all Ii

Fooled TO a finish were the visitors.
Proughs curves and hooks were man
aged with perfect control. Six Lookouts
were struck out and three of the six
went out watching the sphere dart across
the plate. Prough's fast ball had neat
bop on 1t, while his control was perfect,
as he did not allow a single four-ply
largess.
In reality, he had but one bad in
ming. In the first Coyle smacked the
sphere to left field for one bag. After
an unsuccessful attempt, Bunting sacri-
feed and Michael scored on Moran's sin
gle to the larboard field. However, Tut
weller struck out, after Moran had pill
fered second and Balenti grounded out to
third.
