Number of games won. Is; lost, Z.
n the foregoing table shows the Ma
't!onals have just completed a most sue
cessful road trip. playing twenty-three
games since leaving the Capital. winning
In third place, but less than three sames
behind the Cleveland Maps.
OF the sixteen games won on this trip
johnson and Boehling have won two
thirds of them. Walter being credited
with seven victories and Boehling five.
without this pair going at top speei
the club would have made q sorry show
ing.
Today's game was finished in time FOR
both teams to board eastbound trains
The Climbers embarked on the SIS Balti-
more and Ohio and are due to arrive
in Washington at AS o'clock Thursday
afternoon.
No game IL scheduled for tomorrow,
but the St Louis Browns will be the at
traction on the Florida Avenue grounds
Friday. when Joe EEgel Is slated to do
the pitching for the Climbera
Howard shanks occupied . stateroom
en- route to Washington and his in
5ured ankle caused him considerable
rain. Shanks thinks that one Of the
email bones Ii broken.
For the present .Calvo will continue to
play left field. except when the opposing
club uses . southpaw hurler. in which
case Laporte will be on the job.
Boehling really should have been given
more than two days rest. for he was
plainly tired in the ninth inning today,
when he walked three or theswhite Sox.
At that the Richmond boy was able to
keep the enemy from scoring.
Chick Gandil today failed to get safe
hit, for the first time during the last
twelve days.
Boehling had Chappelie's number from
the start. The prize outfelder, who was
purchased for SIS. 0C0, did not hit q ball
OUT of the infield. and also contributed q
couple Of weird throws.
Ping Bodie, the fence buster. sent M
as pinch hitter In the ninth. died via
the Milan route.
Charlie Eckstein. q young Chicago semi
pro. outfielder, was out in a Washington
uniform this afternoon for practice. The
kid was recommended to Grin. and may
my third string catcher. Al Williams,
lame arm and all. would be q star on
any other ball club in the American
League" was the astounding statement
made by Manager Grinith during . fan
ming bee here today.
mot only as q catcher il Williams q
good man. but he can play any Of the
inield or outfield positions in . capable
manner. and can also hit that old ball
in q pinch"
with John Henry and Eddie Ainsmith
going nicely. the former doing the bulk
Of the work, Williams has been forced
to warm the bench the last month or 20,
but the big fellow Is mighty handy
man to have around In case Of emer-
sency. His worth to the club has been
shown on occasions too numerous to
mention.
The squeeze play" supposed to have
been tossed into the discard pack BY
major leaguers, has been revived BY
