was about to begin his address when

the psychological punch, English for
pinch hit.
Harry Lord and SchaIler are the
only men on the team who seem able
to hit day in and day out The third
baseman has been delivering a mess
of swats, and if his mates would fol-
low that example the South Side ag-
gregation would bound upward in the
percentage table. SchaIler is getting
his daily hit, and also receiving more
than one mans share of free trans
portation.
Jacques Fourier busts in for the
third straight day. That Frenchman
looks like the makings of a good first
baseman. He is mechanically good
right now, but there are few tricks
of the trade he has to learn around
the first stop. At scooping low throws
he is better than Borton, shows more
aggressfveness, and extends his arms
to take throws from the infieIders.
He could be taught lot about how
to handle bunts down the first base
line, and also to cut a man off racing
from first to third on an infield out.
Eddie Murphy turned this stunt yes
terday and got away with it because
Fourier was slow and made a wild
peg when he did get the ball away.
It is unfortunate that a fellow like
Joe Berger, the Sox utility infielder,
must be kept on the bench. There
is little chance for him to break into
the lineup, however, unless Rath or
Weaver are injured, because those
two boys are staging some circus
fielding. Berger appeared for short
time yesterday when Borton batted
for Weaver, leaving a hole at short.
Only one chance went the way of
the ex-coast Lacquer, but the way he
handled it was treat. 1t was hard
grounder toward third. Berger SCOOP
ed it, and without setting himself for
a throw shot the pill to Fourier on
a line for the put-out. How Berger

There was a triple killing in New
York yesterday, and the murderers
will go free. AS an example of New
York justice, one of tie deceased
may be punished.
First, Lou Richie, well-kHown
Giant Killer, was killed. Then John
EVers collapsed from double-bar-
relied voIley, fired by Jumps Bill Klein
and Al Orth. Third, Heinie thinner
man killed the rumor that he was
suffering from brain fever, brought
on by thinking on the ball field, and
reported for duty. In fact there was
such a smell of blood that Evers held
his nose. That is why he was fired.
John protested one of Orth's de-.
cisions in the fourth inning and grew
eloquent. This had no effect, so he
held his nose, intimating that 'Orth
was human imitation of the stock
yards. Al canned the boss. In the
eighth inning Klein saw Evers in the
corner of the field and stopped the
game until he left the grounds. This
nose-ho1ding stunt is particularly OBJ
jectionable to Klein. He is reported
to have told EVers last week that if
John tried any of that pantomime on
him he would run him out of organ
lied baseball. Evers may draw sus-
pension when he walks on the field
this afternoon.
There must be something in that
New York air that causes Evers to
boil over. Twice last year he was
canned on the eve of important meet
ings with the Giants. This season he
has restrained his batting desires,
and has also held down his men when
they were disposed to kick. His mod
est conduct has been marvellous and
he deserves great credit for it. But
as soon as he gets to New York he
gets put out Of the game.
Instead Of being a Giant Killer,
Richie acted as a pulmotor to the
