Had Short Stop Jack been a little

grounder in the ninth inning, yester-

Browns. Tierney hit three Dagger

The One Run.
Sorehead Mitchell on the slab for
the Browns was hit in almost every
inning Of the game and altogether the
slams counted up to nine for the In

McGaffgan Back in Game.
After a month Of idleness, caused
by a broken collar bone, McGafigan
the toppy little shortstop, played il
his first game since the opening on
of the season yesterday. Priest tool
vacation for day. The small
short went great in the outfeld-
much better than was ezpected-ant

came his way, like house afre. Ma
was the only man on the team to ste7

tremely dangerous because OF tn
muddy condition of the infield.
There is a possibility that Prizes
may be sold to some other club an
that Jack will play the outfeld fo
a time at least However that ma
be, the proper dope has not yet bee
lined out on intended moves.
