Now for another win.

Now for another win.
Bob Groom was the whole works in
the pitching line yesterday. and the Ma
tionals took the second straight game
from the Browns. The fact that the
team is winning Is due. primarily. to
the, fact that the pitching has been
better. No complaint can be registered
against the batting. which has been
timely right along.

Jack Coombs won out over Ed Walsh
yesterday, scoring a victory for the
champions. The score was 8 to /. and
strange to relate. the champions did not
earn a run. Weaver was mainly re-
sponsible for the defeat, as he fell
down on three chances. j. Callahan
was pretty sore over the outcome, as
he expected Walsh to deliver for a sec
