EVERS AND ARCHER CHASED

Boston, Mass, Aug. 13-Superior
pitching gsre The Braves both ends
Of the bargain card presented yester-
day afternoon at South End park, and
the two-ply backset of Evers & Co.
sent them shutting down TO fourth
place. Plotting carefully and with two
able experts on the hill the Trojan was
confident of putting over double vic
tory. One of his best bets, Larry Chen
ey, was found wanting in the opener,
which went to the locals, 7 to 3. The
/ second also terminated in favor of Bos-
ton, 8 to 8, because Otto Hess, union
: Pretiel-maker (sleng for baker, max
er of foOdstuffs), had everything es-
sential to successful pitching and Ed
die Stack did not.
Shady umpiring by Al Ortiz resulted
in the weakening of the West Siders
in the second inning Of the first game.
The Judge of play on bases was guilty
Of handing down a verdict against
Bridwell, calling the latter out when
! he had stolen second, sliding five feet
past Meanwhile, who took the throw.
EVERs Is BANIsHED.
When Evers went out to his position
he paused 10 criticise Orth's Judgment
land the official ordered him out of the
yard-an ediot that prevented the Tro-
jan from breaking into the second
contest. For once the Cub manager
was justified in raising his voice in
angry protest and Orth's decision
brought many a hearty laugh from the
81, al 4
Bridwell had stolen successfully.
. Not content with removing one main
cog in the Cub machine, the other half
of the arbiting team, Bill KLEIN, took
a hand in the custer proceedings, ban
ishing Archer in the sixth inning-a
period when Cheney was wobbling and
trying in vain TO locate the plate
Larry was unusually wild, and the
bulk of the trouble came in the siXG..
Archer remarked several times that
KLEIN might be missing balls and
strikes, and the offcious indicator ex-
pert finally barked an order, heard in
the press boX-"Get in there and catch,
or-blankety, blankety, blank"
Whereupon Archer retorted: "You
can't curse me- Then Klein rose to
a point of order, assuring the Cub
star that he was through for the after,
, noon. George Pierce, who was warm.

of SO fine. The scores:
