while 1t may show some form later IN
the race 1t seems to be too far out OF the
running already to be very dangerous SO
far as the pennant is concerned
Before the squirt of the Cleveland club
can be taken seriously that team will
have to show something on the roao.
To date the Maps have PLAYED but rev
games on foreign grounds. Most of their
games have been scheduled at home but
with the coming eastern trip before 1t
Birmingham team will be given
chance to show what it can do away
from home. Heretofore the Cleveland
team has never been a very good ROAD
team, and predictions are made that 1t
will show the white feather again this
year just as soon 1T gets awaN from
Maps can lay real claims to champion
ship consideration they must prove
themselves a good road team-somethlns
they have never been before.
The present aggregation is. OF course,
quite different from the former teams
which represented that city. and Yet 1t
will have to stand the test of running
the gantlet q few times before 1T will
be taken seriously.
Speaker hit a liner which struck Alt
rock on the fleshy part of the right leg
In the eighth inning, which made NICK
vince The ball hit solidly and fell dead
at his feet. Speaker was thrown out at
first. but Nick required a few minutes
massa ging before he could resume his
pitching.
After Hughes retired, the Sox stopped
hitting, getting but two hits in the next
six innings one off of Altrock and the
other off of Boehling. 1t was Lewis who
got his off Boehling in the eleventh. tie
was the first man up and singled to center.
E,ngel who followed, hit sharply to
Schaefer, who touched Lewis as he was
passing him. but got the ball to first too
late to get the decision for double
play Lewis claimed that Schaefer miss
ed him, but even if that was the case he
was out for running out of line a yard
testing and O'Laughlin promptly sent him
off of the field. Boehling gave splendid
exhibition in the tenth when he struck
out Hooper and Yerkes and then caused
Speaker to pop up a little fly to Nc
Bride.
Ainsmith's throw to Schaefer. when
F,ngel attempted to steal in the eleventh
inning, was a perfect, peg and nailed
Engel by yards.
Running bases on Altrock is almost an
impossibility. 1t is impossible to get any
kind of a lead on the veteran off of first
base. He has a most deceptive motion
to that bag, and the base runners, know
ing this, do not dare to take any kind OF
a lead 1t is the lead that base runners
take that makes stealing possible. No
matter how fast runner a man may be
il he hasn't the knack to get lead he
hasn't a chance on good catcher. That
Is why only good base runners are often
caught off of first. They take the chances
in taking lead.

Bartlett had taken himself of to the

"How?" asked Billy through white
lips, staring at him from where she
stood In the middle Of the tiny COW

the sweet fern and the bracken.
The Watermelon raised his hand
to his head and gently brushed his
back hair with futile embarrassment.
"Why. you know that guy we heard
coughing in the bushes? Well, he put
me wise to the fact that your father

face that the interview with her "a

She feared that the Watermelon had

speaking to her father that morning
had not helped matters as she had
hoped 1t would. She tried to think
Of something to say that would inf1u-
