NOTES OF THE GAME.

Rollie Zeider went too far toward third
when Caldwell singled to right. and
MOeller's throw to Mcbride nailed him
in the second inning.
Spencer and Morley. the newcomers
who were in the game, each met the
same fate upon their first appearance at
bat. Caldwell retired them by the strike
out route.
Gallia took up the pitching in the
fourth when the going got rough for
Ensel. He passed one man and kept
the Yankees from further scoring.
Chick Gandn pasted one into right IN
the fourth that looked like a double, but
GilhOoley went to the scoreboard and
made the catch. 1t was a peach.
In the third the Yankees batted all
the way round, Cree opening with a
double. He led off again in the fourth
and skied to Gandil.
When Knight sent a long foul into left.
Spencer made a great try for the bail
crashing against the stand in a vain
effort.
In the fifth Cap" Mcbride came
through with ringing single to center
He was forced when GaIlia hit to
Zeder
With GaIlia on first in the fifth. Moeller
cut loose with a clean one to right Gil
hooley's throw to Maisel was late, but
the Midget nailed Danny trying to reach
second.
Maisel and Gilhooley, New York re-
cruits, for the first time in the series
broke into the hit column. Chance has
not strengthened his hitting much on
their showing here.
After Gilhooley made his second hit,
Gallia passed Sweeney. Henry had a
costly passed ball at this juncture, as
Gilhooley scored on Caldwelrs tap to the
pitcher.
slim" Love, from Atlanta. warmed un
before the game, and displayed an exec
lent assortment of curves. His control
seemed good, most every ball cutting the
pan in half.
Hartzell robbed Mcbride of a hit in the
seventh, when he came in and got his
grounder, which Caldwell tipped with his
gloved hand.
Danny Moeller made a nice running
catch of Zeider's foul fly in the eighth
and missed doubling Gnhooley, who had
been passed, by an eyelash only.

Johnson's Average Best.

hurler ia ans league, and in less than
five seasons the Idaho phenomenon may
lead all others. That is If Mr.. Mathew

Joe BoehlIng will pitch the hrst
game today. and Walter Johnson,
who has not worked since Friday,
will twirl the final contest. As the
Cleveland Maps are not due to ar
rive until this morning, it is inn
possible TO learn who will do the
twirling for the enemy, but Bland
ing and Gregg would seem to be
the most likely guess.
As the Maps did not play yes

beaten by New York, Cleveland is
exactly six and one-half games

require the winning of at least
three games out of the five in or
