NOTES OF THE GAME.

Il NOTES OF THE GAME.
Great clouds OF gloom were dispelled
when the. rally came. O'Brien had
been going along at a great clip and
defeat seemed to be our portion.
! One time did Schaefer face the pitcher.
one time did he get a hit. and one
game? Schaefer.
| Only few noticed Johnson start to the
bull pen to warm up when the game
got tight, but those few soon had the
crowd on the yell for. the pitching
Danny Moeller did himself proud again
yesterday, three solid wallops ringing
from his war club. The Rochester boy
has hit safely nine times out Of sew
enteen trips to the plate during the
But one umpire. Hart. aroused the ire Of
the Washington players and the
crowd when he called a ball which
MsBride claimed Gardner struck at.
Yesterday the President did not leave
before the finish of the game, and
was rewarded for remaining. The
day previous he was forced to vacate
his box In order to bid good-by to
Secretary Bryan before he left for the
Coast.
Engel warmed up when Schaefer hit for
Boehling, but when the Climbers
started clouting the ball; the Old Fox
TO make 1t sure, trotted out Walter,
the king
Clyde Milan had lot Of fun with Hall
when the pitcher relieved O'Rrien in
Engle eight times in an attempt to
catch him of the sack.
Larry Gardner made a great attempt 70
handle Schaefer's hard-hit grounder
He knocked 1t down with one fin and
was little late This started all the
trouble for Jake Stahl.
In the dug-out Of the Boston team Jake
Stahl did Daniel In the lions den
act. The score cards he tore into bits
would have made excellent snow for
the winter scene in a melodrama.
Morgan on second was well equipped
with initiative stun. He referred two
to Mcbride for action and Gandil
signed the double play voucher.
Boehling pitched two innings after the
shoots and was very effective. During
his stay. not a man reached base, al
though Hooper Just missed a safe one
when Candil slid to the bag ahead of
him.
Enthusiasm persopified is the President
when he attends. At the conclusion
OF the game he mingled with the
crowd coming down the runway with
here. Up to date President Wilson
is batting 800 in the Attendance
League.
Rippy Williams had a chance to bat
a pass. The former Red Sox catcher
is prettt sweet hitter, and the Bos-
ton crowd knows 1t.
Speaker made his first hit for several
days when he tripled down the left
stretch it into a homer. but perfect
relaying nipped him at the home
station.
Words cannot describe the scene which
took place at our old ball yard yester-
day. 1t was a finish seldom seen and
will live long in the memory Of the
faithful.
Illness again prevented Foster from COW
ering third. 1t is to be hoped that
right. Laporte makes an accepta-
BILE substitute, but the regulars look
best
Nine thousand fans nearly had heart fail
ure whep Engle and Wagner singled
off johnson i'm the ninth. The big
noise frightened up and struck out
Hendriksen. Yerkes. who batted for
Hall, hit one right at Laporte, who
had but to touch the bag.
Errors we're few and far between. Wash
ington's only one was committed by
MOeiler, VINO IumD1e0 speakers sim
gle in the sixth, the outfielder taking
second.
Velour lids were replaced by natty look
ing straws. and it sure did bring
home the fact that summer Is here
Several guys threw their winter head
gear away when the rally was in
progress.
Engel probably will be the pitcher today
in Philadelphia The youngster has
had good rest and should come
through with victory. Here's hop
ing.
Ray Morgan did not have very good
at starting double plays. Stick to
them. Ray; you'll land on 'em.
Yerkes gave way to Ball at second and
the triple-play hero played a good
game. but did not shine with the
stick.
o. Brien made quite a record for himself
in the matter of strike-outs. During
twelve Climbers succumbed to his
to face him walked back to the bench,
: and six of these were in row.
Nothing doing at our ball yard in the
way Of big league ball until the 18th
Of May, but don't overlook the double
header that takes place tomorrow be-
tween the high school teams.
Either we will or we will not. Everybody
hopes We will. When we come home
everybody will be able to tell whether
we have. Good lucN Climbers.
