If Joe Boehling pitches as effectively
against the Maps today as he did
against the White SoN few days ago,
he ought 10 make il two straight from
Rirmingham's team. Boehling lost his
game against the White Sox. but i was
not his fault. errors giving his op-
ponents the runs they secured.
The Richmond twirler has already
scored three victories over the Maps
this year, and if he displays his usual
form he stands a good chance of max
ing il four in row. Either kah!er or
Rlanding will be Manager Birming-
hams choice. and as both have shown
good form of late. the chances are that
another close and hard-fought game will
be presented.
The game starts at 3 o'clock. and i'm
mediately after the game both teams
will take a train for Cleveland, where
day Birmingham sent Vean Gregg
home last night so as TO have him ready
to face the Nationals tomorrow.
Walter Johnson equaled Joe Boehling' s
record of eleven straight victories yes
terday Though Walter was far from
ment in pitching to the Maps. and by this
as much as anything else the victory
was made possible johnson has not
suffered defeat since June -. when
the Athletics beat him He has pitched
Twelve games without losing one, hav-
ing a fifteen-inning tie game 10 his
credit. The chances are that Johnson
will make his second appearance of the
he may then establish a new season
record for consecutive victories.
clyde Milan put up the best per-
Torrance of the season III the game yes
terday and. il was largely due to his re-
narkable work that the Maps We're beat
en-. His catch and throw of Lajoie's liner
which nipped a winning rally in the bud
in the fifth inning. was one of the pref
test plays seen on the local grounds this
season. The bases were full with one
out. Jackson had been purposely walked
TO get Lajoie up. figuring that there was
a chance for double play. Lajoie hit
terrific liner to center. Milan got the
the plate. 1t was a perfect throw and
Leibold. who tried to score from third
after ii was caught. was out by yards.
incidentally Milan did his share of the
offensive work. He drove in the first
run in the first and then won the game
with a single in the ninth, which sent
Foster home with the winning run. He
made desperate effort to eaten carisch's
liner in the fourth and in SO doing
knocked himself out and it was some
minutes before he regained consciousness.
The Cleveland team has every reason
to have a lot Of respect for Rip Williams
a pinch hitter. 1t was his single in
the ninth yesterday which started the
rally which won the game, and the Maps
also recall a game played in Cleveland
last spring which they apparently had
Won. but which Williams broke up with
a home-run drive which brought in two
runs.
Williams has undoubtedly made good
as a pinch hitter this season. He has
not been i'm many ball games this year,
but he has more than earned his salary
by his ability to hit when he has been
asked to take one of the regulars place
at the bat.
There were two occasions when the
Nationals had the bases full and could
not score. Ainsmith was the man up on
both occasions and he failed to come
through with the necessary hit.
Terry Turner PLAYED remarkable
game az third base. His stop of Laporte's
sharp drive in the eighth, which had all
the earmarks of two-base hit. was
nothing short of marvellous. Just pre-
vious to this play he robbed Morgan of
