ooplous scoring, with here and there a
brilliant bit of fielding, gave the affair en-

McGraw, according to his usual practice,
sent some of his regulars to the clubhouse.
Larry Doyle did not start in the game at all,
Groh playing I'm his place. The little fellow
turned his ankle in scoring in the third
inning, so McGraw was compelled TO call
upon Crandall TO perform. Otis played
good game at second. Meyers was dismissed
