FOSTER SOON TO-
BE IN CONDITION
Midget Third Baseman Makes His First Hit Since April 2 and
Shows Improvement in Fieding-Fans See "Cincnnat
Base Hits" in Second Clash With Napanders
By SENATOR

"Fateem" Foster has made his first
hit since April q, a clean drive to left
center, and Manager Griffith feels GER
tain that the midget thirdsacker viii
soon be in condition to make many of
these. Out of four trips to the plate In
the second contest against the Maps
Foster walked once, singled once, foul
ed to Johnston, and rolled to LaJoie
once. With bit more strength in his
wallop that roller to Lajoie would have
skipped into right field for a safety.
While he had little fielding to do, he
did It well, and the fans were strong
for him. ; ls-E's -. -: 10
Foster is doing well enough to suit
me, and have the most olose," said
himself in oldtime style, one Of his
stops yesterday being a beauty. coming
in fast for Lajoie's slow ball in the
second inning.
las soon as he gets used to seeing
the jumps and curves at the plate, and
that won't be long now, he'll begin slap
ping them safely. The very presence
Of Foster adds so per cent to Danny
Moeller's effectiveness. and this pair Of
hustlers will soon be making runs for
the team"
There has been much discussion Of
Cincinnati base hits" this season, and
two were shown the fans yesterday. In
the sixth Gandil hit a hard bounce At
Turner. who, after corraling the pill.
was unable to get Milan at second on
force play. This gave Gandil
single under the rules adopted by the
American League Again in the seventh
Ainsmith sent one slowly down the
third base line, filing the bases, and 1t
was impossible to get Shanks at third.
The writer is opposed to the "Cincin-
natl base hit" believing it should go
as a fielder's choice rather than as q
hit, but it has been adopted by Car
Ban B. Johnson and 1t goes in his
league as well as in the other big
league.
Terry Turner. who was once the
greatest shortstop in the league. made
one Of his fancy stops in the first
frame. getting Moeller's hot grounder
over toward third with both hands and
throwing out the runner. 1t takes
speed and accuracy to get Moeller on
any kind of a ball to the infield and
Turner had to go down for that drive.
1t was one OF the best plays of the
game.
Only once did Naplander essay the
long gallop to second and when Gran
ey made the attempt. he found the ball
waiting for him before he hit the dirt.
Ainsmith's peg was on a line and alb
solutely perfect. O'Neill was also
pretty nifty, catching Gandil on first
base in the second with a quick shoot
to Johnston. Shanks and Morgan reg

Failure of the Browns management
