NOTES OF THE GAME.

Walter johnson in form. Ask Iris Speaker.
who johnson admits is one of the hardest men he
pitches TO in the course of season.
All roads led TO the ball park yesterday and another
large crowd was on hand. The result was more
pleasing than the score Of the Homecoming day e
Laporte substituted in place OF Foster who has the
grip and every time he appeared at the plate be
was given a hand He responded with hits upon
three occasions.
Iris Speaker, who has been getting on bases quite
often this season, did not land on first until the
ninth, when johnson passed him.
Everybody was gruauing because Carrigan had trip
pied in the third and spoiled what looked like a
no-hit game Yerkes relieved the crowd somewhat
by dropping Texas Lacquer over McBrides head
in the ninth.
Ray Collins did not give base on balls during the
encounter, hut the Climbers sure did fatten their
averages. Four triples. double and seven sin
giles
Joe Engel covered second with the substitute infeld
and snsgged one with his gored mitt that was q
daisy. Joe used to be a shortstop once.
Olaf Henricksen, who pinched himself into world
series fame hit for Collins in the ninth but &
grounder TO Morgan was his best.
Hooper made an excellent peg to the plate in the
eighth after he had caught Shanks' fly in an
effort TO head of Morgan. but the kid upset
Bill Carrissn, and the hall rolled to the
grandstand.
Nick Altruck had an elegant time of it PLAYING
his little game Of ball at first base The Official
chslked him up with eleven errors.
Things were. not breaking right for the come
dian.
Seats in the jury box in left field were at a pre-
than they have seen for long time. Several
of the triples went in that direction.
Only once did Red Sox athlete see third base
This was Carrgsn. who tripled in the third.
Ierkes landed second in the ninth but
Walter was still in the game. and there he
rested.
New York did a nice little job Of whitevashinc
also. and. thanks TO them are again lead
ing the other seven Do it again. Chance; well
take Of our part
Put down a hard luck mark for Clyde Milan.
That line drive he cannonaded in the direction
Of Yerkes had it marked all over it. "Zeb''
disguised.
Illness prevented Foster from covering his hot
corner The midget played every game last
year, and didn't like the idea cf staying out
very much.
To little Ray Morgan the flowers 70. He handled
seven assists which were not at all easy ones.
without a slip-up. and whacked out triple and
single
Catching Walter johnson is not the easiest job
which might be picked out, but Ansnith did it
perfectly yesterday. Nobody was thrown out at
second-because very few reached first
Hart had only one close decision to make yesterday
and the visitors registered a mild protest. Both
jumps were on the job and did good work.
In the fourth inning of the New York Philajephia
game, when the large two registered for the
Yanks. more noise made than at any other
time
Nobody can kick about our weak-hitting shortstop
for the popular captain has been clouting out q
pair Of binges for the last few days Keep it up
Mac.
Gandls double travelled to the scoreboard ard It
took the fast work which exhibited by the
Red Sox outAeld in order TO nip him at third
Keeping up with his previous performances Danny
Moeller proceeded to swipe a base after he had
landed on first in the third. He singled his way
there.
In no inning did johnson exert himself Just wait
until he gets in that worlds series. Then he will
show US some real major league pitching.
Not until the fourth inning did johnson pitch more
than one called ball. One ball In each Of the
first three rounds looks Like pretty fair hurting.
Groom will in all probability start todays game for
the league leaders, while Jake Stahl will seod
Buck O'Bden to the firing line
