Incompetent hitting has been the
main cause of the Sox defeats. Jim
Scott did not pitch his usual game
yesterday, and should have been
lifted before he gave O'Loughlin
chance to chase him for kicking, but
Jim would have been obliged to travel
at hot clip in order to win on two
runs, which was the margin his pals
gave him.
Ray Schalk, usually as steady as
clock, made a wild throw on
would-be base stealer, and also cold
ly dropped a throw to the plate. Each
of these miscues gave the Maps run.
Censure should not be leveled at Ray.
He drops 'em so seldom that we are
glad to learn he is a human being.
IT some other pitcher than Scott
had been in the box, a rescUer would
have been warmed up Immediately
the regular showed signs of cracking
and he would have been ready to
stop the carnage. The two Nap runs
in the sixth we're made with the use
of but one single as Scott tossed in
couple of passes behind the hit.
And no one was out Scott stayed
until two runs were over. He might
have been there yet, but he kicked
himself to the bench, and Cicote fin
ished without further loss of life.
Scott and Cicotte have made such
star records in the past that when
either goes on the slab there is no
thought of these puzzlers faltering.
They must stick to the ship until
lifesaver has oiled up his arm. And a
game can be lost while this function
is being performed.
Lajoie did his first real batting of
the year. singing three hits, as did
Olson. BIackburne pasted two sin
giles.
This is an open date with the Sox.
They open the first series with De-
troit tomorrow.

your amazing statement replying to
Mr.. Farwell. Your ignorance of what
is going on in Chicago is astounding.
To say that even 10 per cent of Mr..
Farwell's work has to do directly with
the females of the tenderloin is max
ing it very high. A study of his finan-
cial report would show what he is
engaged in; and if you would peruse
that while you would be wiser
and hope humber man. Moreover,
why did you omit the name of Prof.
Henderson of the United Charities
from among those signing the Vice
Commission report? An acquaint-
ance with what he is doing would
quickly upset all your pet theories
about the United Charities, not to
mention where you have deplorably
fallen down in describing other or
CARNATIONS.
In the third place, it is no fault of
the preachers that you have not
heard how they have 'thundered
from their pulpits the awful facts"
about low wages, etc. 1 have heard
such laundering direct from a num-
Der and heard about them from
much larger number. Mrs. Raymond
Robins correspondence also will re-
veal that they have joined in with her
work in organizing the clerks. You
look to me very much like a quack,
interested in the coin just as much
as IN lettering your fellow men, and
not entirely ayerse to garbling the
facts if your purpose can thus be bet
ter served. 1 am sure that no one
who is seriously concerned about
Chicago will pay any attention to
you, such as you are, in my judgment,
the bane of all progress.
