the dope wont hold good. One mo-
ment, please, and watch your step.
Just consider the gang that Chance
started the season with. He was
lucky to win a game in two weeks.
Since he has secured ball club he
has been going at better than 500,
and life on the bases is responsible
for the major portion of this good
showing. At no time this season has
the P. l.. boosted any clouters, and
his pitching staff has been mediocre.
And the Browns are last. Has ST.
Louis ball team? No one admits it.
The pitching is weak; the batting is
punk, and the fielding is porous. If
the Browns had not been able to run
bases they would have been even
lower in the percentage of games
won.
Suppose the White Sox had run
bases behind the excellent pitching
provided by their fingers. Even with
their meager batting averages they
would have been up in the race. The
system worked for Fielder Jones,
pulling some old stuff. He got the
men around. They did not take root |
and grow when they got on first.
Washington has two-man pitch |
ing staff, Johnson and Boehling, and
the latter was not a factor. until the
season was half run. What kept them
in the hunt? Base running, the abil- |
ity to be in position to score on a
single. A pass, steal and single will |
register a run as usual thing. The |
play is possible with two out. With |
none out, or one dead, of course, the |
sacrifice hit can be used to advance
a man to second. But without that |
steal thing after two are out it takes
an extra-base hit.
Get some baserunning on the
South Side and we can stand for
that weak hitting, as long as the
pitchers continue to travel at such a

| be given a short rest to prepare them
for the worlds series. The Athletics
have come through the season with
their battle front unbroken, and Mack
does not want to take chance on
injuries at this late date, with the
worlds series just two weeks off.
The most notable feature of the
afternoons play was the good box
work of Eddie Plank, the veteran
Mack southpaw. He pitched seven in
nings of the second game against the
Tigers, and allowed five hits. He
seemed to have sufficient reserve
strength at all times, passed only one
man and whitfield half dozen. Mack
has been nursing Plank along
through his slump, and the treat
ment is bearing fruit.
The Yanks outhit Cleveland, 2 to 1,
but passes by Fisher and Schulz were
costly. Falkenberg was batted out of
the box. Williams and Gilhooley each
swatted three hits. Chapman played
a bang-up game at short for Cleve-
land.

The Boston Braves trimmed the

Batting honors for another year
are practically assured Ty Cobb. He
got four hits in eight trips to the
plate yesterday. His mark now is

the other part. The custom has such a hold

with each visitor who ate 1t conscientiously.
In America, with its population drawn from all
sections of the globe, many Easter observances
distinctive of the various countries have been
tanned by the immigrants and their descendants.
So decidedly has Easter Sunday come to be
thought of in the United States the great show
day of the year that the average person longer
regards 1t in its most inspiring light-the crown
ing feast day of the Christian year Yet its
ligious Significance still lives and while the siren

To the eye OF the casual observer the egg play
is somewhat devoid of meaning but study of II
