From the Angle Of the Bag
BY REUBEN A. LEWIS

ing the crucial months of the pres
ent campaign would forge the lo-
Gals to the front. Not only is Boyd
a splendid pitcher. but he is per-
haps the most graceful mounds
man on the local staff The an
nouncement that Boyd viii do slab
duty always sends an enthusiastic
attendance to RiclSwood.
Eddie Mcdonald is one of the
few ambidexterous marksmen in
the game. The third sacller can
swat from the right side of the
plate as well as from the left side
and is equally as dangerous So
many batsmen are helpless before
twirlers serving from the same
side. McGllvray Messenger and
the left-handers are at the mercy
of a fast southpaw and annually
suffer from the bafflers of the port
wheelers.
In the case of Mack, he switches
to the left for a right handler and
swings from the right side of the
plate for left-hander. In this
way he is always formidable with
the willow. There are but few play
ers who have mastered this teehnie
of the game.
Mique Finn says 1T can't be
done" The Hibernian leader of the
Gulls wonders why some of the
Southern league towns are so much
more attractive than others To
players. Finn says that Eddie Me
Donald was recommended to him
by Manager Muggsy MeGraw of the
Giants for his club. When wired
the monthly stipend of the third
saeker he was abruptly forced to
quit negotiations for he discov-
cred that Mcdonald drew sum
larger than the maximum limit.
He added that Bernhard offered
the guardian of the third cushion
the maximum sum but Mcdonald
refused to perform for the stipu-
latlon
What Miquael wishes to know is
how owner Woodward tweedled
the star into tripping for the Bar
ons for anything less. But Mique
declares that he is aware of Rick's
reputation for being a fine fellow.
The predicted feud between the
youthful manager of Cleveland and
Nap Lajoie has not ended in a
squabble or a squawk, for the
Frenchman has been returned to
second regularly. A few days fol-
lowing the mix-up in Chicago the

The Crackers probably realized
that little could be gained from

Surprises were numerous, among
them being the defeat of such men as
Halpin of the Boston a. C. in the quar-

long distance man, carried the colors OF
the Irish Americans to an easy VIC
tory in the five-mile run. He set a pace
at the start that put him far in the

victory over CASTOR Strobna yester
day was no fluke for he repeated In
the long run today and by a heavy race
took second place. Ed <enz of the
Mowhawk Athletic club, won a clever
