Tigers reached him for but four hits. |
His courage did not waver as oppor-
tunities were met by the Sox and
coldly turned aside.
Veteran Hose beavers are used to |
these tough breaks, and have become |
hardened to the fact that they can |
expect little help from their mates. |
But youngster who pitches stoutly |
in the face of such backing shows he |
has the markings of regular twirler. |
CalIahan's team has been winning |
fair share of games lately, but it |
is not playing good baseball. The |
top four in the batting order are do |
ing all of the work, and the last five |
are practically useless on attack.
Bodie is good for long hit now
and then, but Ping is not built of the |
stuff that comes through in the pinch.
June has now arrived and it would
not be surprising to see the fence
busters average shrink considerably.
In the past Bodie has been a hard
batter against early season pitching.
He gets to the beavers before they
have thoroughly boiled out their
arms, and drives the straight balls
hard. But when the gunner begin
to put their best stuff on the ball Ping
is baffled. 1t would not be surpris-
ing to see him come out of the line
up within the next two weeks.
Second base is still a large cavity
for the SoX, both on defense and at
tack. Biackburne did not come up to
expectations in the early stages of
the race, and Callahan gave Berger
another trial at the position. The
Coast German has not shown any
improvement over his work of last
year, and Blackburne is again oc-
cupying the keystone.
BIackburne is smart ball player,
can field the position acceptably, but
must bat at a faster clip to bolster
up the team.

score.
Konetchy, touted to strengthen the
team at first base, gave grand ex-
hibition of how not to play ball.
Twice the big Pole got to the first
bag on hits. Once he allowed him
self to be trapped by Cheney's quick
throw, and the second time he ran
from first to third on a caught fly,
giving Leach an easy double play.
Honey also allowed soft fly from
Schultz to drop behind him for a
two-base hit, and this started the
locals on their first batting rampage.
.ListIessness marked the work of
the invaders, and even Hans Wag-
ner seemed to be bitten by the
what's-the-use bug. On their present
speed the Pirates are not even strong
contenders, and will not finish third.
Sweeney has begun to wade into :
the ball and smack it soldly. This
means several more games will come
the way of the Cubs, as Bill has been
a weak spot in the attack. On nu-
merous occasions he has been in posi-
ton to drive in runs, and his failure
has been handicap. He has dropped
his jinx, and is getting a fair share
of the solid ones safe.
Today winds up the home stay of
the Cubs. O'Day's crew his been
fairly successful, securing better than
an even break. That is above the
teams percentage for the year, and,
with the batters connecting regularly
and label added to the list of eff
fective pitchers, there is reason to be-
ieve the improvement will continue.
If Joe Tinker wins the Federal
League pennant it will be because of
his strong secondary defense. The
regular lineup of the Chifeds is no
stronger than that of at least three
other teams in the new organization,
but Joe is well fortified in case of in
juries..

Mexlco's Salt Producing Lake.

Though Mexico offers many wonders
for the inspection of the traveller none
is more interesting or peculiar than
the saltproducing lakes near Salinas
station. on the Tanpico division OF the
Mexican Central railway, 70 miles west
OF San Luis Potosi. 1t may well be
termed two-story lake, for at times
there is lake of fresh water over
lying the salt lake. A watertight
roof of green, mud separates the fresh
from the salt water. For a large
part Of the year there is no fresh
water lake there. The sun licks it up
soon after the rainy season Is over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about sixty-tive years. The
whole town of 5000 people makes its
living from the salt. The property
is owned by family or estate, but
1t is sald that not one of the owners
has lived there for years.
