"Yeepins His Eye On the Ball"
A Correction.

We make no preteuse of being infal-
lihIe, but, for all that, We are always
glad to correct any mistakes that may
creep into these dispatches.
It seems now that we were guilty Of
a gruesome error. Five weeks ago We
called the opening day score of Wash
ington VS.. Boston with johnson facing
Collins at to o. Bum guess. IT was
to 0. We apologize.
After the first day in Philadelphia the
Giants are raid to be highly incensed
at the way the Feds disrupted the Phil
lies. Mr.. MarQuard is also thinking OF
suing the Feds for damages for hav-
ing overlooked Sherwood Magee A
number of eminent attorneys have
stated that he has an open and shut
case-if you know what sort of case
that is.
The Feds have not only started, con-
trary to midwfnter report, but they
have started briskly. playing good ball
before first-class. crowds.
According to the Pittsburgh Feds, Tom
Seaton Joined the Brooklyn Feds, after
all. They claim that the rumor is more
than well founded.
There is a vast difference between the
looks of Mack's ball club in April and
October. But there is also a vast diff
ference between playing for a club
owner and 60 per cent Of $150, 00D. Brief
ly. about so, 900 difference and an av-
erage of about eleven base hits per
game.
Rival ball clubs that have been feed
ing upon the soft. yielding flesh Of the
Yankees for three or four seasons are
liable to absorb quite a bump this sea-
son and a touch of indigestion. Chance
hasn't developed any pennant contender
yet, but he has the most improved ma
chine In either circuit. II might be
whispered that there was more room for
improvement, but it isn't every leader
who always makes good use of the
room.
Chance has undoubtedly started back
to where he belongs, which il some
where around the crest. When he start
ed he had nothing to build around. Now
he has four or five brisk youngsters
who are sure to stick and to hold on at
top speed. Give him another year and
the old handle OF P. L. will be called
back into play.
