That Griffith has the right idea in
trying TO have left-handed pitchers
predominant on his pitching staff is
shown by the remarkable success of
the portside fingers in the American
League this season Boehling leads
them all with eleven wins and one de-
feat, but Plank of Philadelphia and
Collins of Boston are two veteran
southpaws who are doing splendid
work for their respective teams. Rus
sell of Chicago has been that team $
mainstay on the rubber this year. while
majority of the games which ST.
Louis has won this year have been
made possible by the good work OF
Hamilton, Leverenz and Weilman, three
young ft-handers who usually puzzle
the opposition.
Griffith is gathering about as many
young efthanded pitchers as are
available. One, BoehlinS, has been de-
veloped, and he now has two others

rivals could equal. 1t remains, OF

for Griffith has no intention or Sc

terror against Agriculture yesterday, was
very noteworthy. He held the Farmers
well, and at no time was he in much
danger of being beaten. He pitched one
of the best games in which he has worked
this season, and that in crisis, too. He
deserves all the more credit for his good
work when it is considered that he came
through in a pinch with the victory which
gave his club the championship. Only
four hits were secured off him and he
struck out seven.
Wisengerger. who started for Agricul-
ture did not get very far. He was hit
hard by the Interior men in the very first
inning. He was removed and Owens sub
stituted. Owens pitched such good ball
that had he started and held the pace one
of the most brilliant contests of the year
would have resulted.
The players of both teams did lot
of running wild on the bases. There was
not much trouble on the part of anybody
to steal. eleven stolen bases being mark
ed up in the summaries. Damphier did
the best work in pilfering sacks, having
three to his credit. Shalin was next, with
two.
Austin Howard has been doing some
very clever work with the Lynn club OF
the New England League since joining
that organization couple of weens ago.
His work has been highly praised by all
the newspaper men in that section. He

in the field. Here are some items taken
from paper of that city:
Since Austin Howard joined the Lynn
team F1aherty has no kick coming on the
third base situation. The former Cor
nell College boy fills in very nicely the
shoes left by the release of George
Boardman. He hits the bail hard and
his hitting is sure to come along.
His fielding is on the line of sensa-
tional.
Patsy Flaherty has secured fine
third sacker in Howard, the former
southern Lacquer.
Howard is fast and gritty and he
never shirks clout, no matter how hard
II comes down into his sphere of
activity.
Howard came through with the hit
which won the verdict in the eighth and
the third base bleacherites were happy.
Howard played star game in the field
and stands up well at the bat.
Howard made fine catch of foul
off White in the fourth, while leaning
against the bleacher fence. 1t was fine
piece of work
