Bridwell's polling mark is close to
300. When the last figures were
given out he was going at the rate
of .286, and since then he has i'm
proved with a bound. His fielding
around the territory between second
and third is nothing short of SEN
satiOnal. Predictions that he would
not last the season out were based
on the supposed weakness of his legs,
but the props are doing their duty
nObly.
Bridweu and EveTs play well to-
gether around the keystone. They
are two of the best men in the busi-
ness at tagging baserunners, and the
ease with which they handle this de-
partment of their business helps their
defensive work. Each man can get
to the bag with such speed that he
seldom starts to cover the sack, in
case of an attempted steal, until the
ball is in the catcher's hands. This
prevents the enemy playing the hit
and-rUn game with any degree of
success. The men are left in position
while the batter is dangerous, and
can snag the ball if he attempts to
shoot it through their positions.
Cy Williams got but one hit in four
attempts yesterday, but it was a
crashing double to left that scored
Evers with the tieing run in the
eighth inning.
There was no fatal results from
the collision between Larry ChappeIl
and Jack Collins while chasing Clyde
MiIan's fly in the second inning at
Washington yesterday, but the acci-
dent did uncover a WOefUl lack of
teamwork among the SOx players.
The fly was small one back Of
second base, but in ChappeIl's terri
tory. He and Collins both dashed for
the pill A crash was inevitable, yet
there seemed to be no one on the

the year. He was not tOUted to per-
form as brightly as Otis Clymer, but
has far surpassed his former mate on
the Minneapolis team. One slump
threatened to tumble him down the
percentage column, but the 'lVer-tip
rallied, and is busting his way
through the defense of the best pitch
9rs.
Speaking of home runs, and every
One likes to, our own Vic Safer is
worth some little consideration. He
hit the right field scorebOard twice
yesterday with line drives, but was
unfortunate enough not to have the
second slam go for the circuit. Schul-
Le was on base at the time, the in
ming was the tenth, and the score
was tied. So when Frank crossed the
pan the game was over. Vic was
credited with a double.
Three important predictions in re-
gard to the West Siders have gone
Rstray.
First, Charles Webb Murphy pre-
1icted his team would cop 18 straight
games, and would win the pennant
with twenty-game margin over the
poor unnamed dubs who were to wal
low along in second place, c. Webb
pulled an awful fiiVver on this one.
He is in danger of being drafted by
the weather bureau.
Second, some of the wise ones said
John EVers would not be manager
after July 4. John is still known as
manager, whether his authority has
been abbreviated or not.
Third, other wise ones predicted |
that Al Bridweu would be unable to |
stand the wear and tear of a major |
league campaign and would give out |
before the halfway post was reached. |
Wrong for the third time.
Al is playing a fine, bang-up game |
