be sure, but it might have served
as an epitome, or something like
that. of the Career OF the Perennial
Maps
They almost. That was H.
How long has it been. old friend,
since the Maps weren't threatening
Season in. season out. the Maps
threatened TO win a pennant IN tn"
American League Season in, season
ont the White SOx won it, or the
Rcd Sox. or Detroit, or the Athletics.
These are not mentioned in order.
They don't have to be. The point IS,
the Maps always were threatening
WIN back in 1908, all the Maps
had TO do 10 win the rag was 10 go
to ST. Louis and win a couple OF
games out OF three. Heigh-ho' They
lost the two right off the reel.
Well
XG1ET.I. We didn't set out to mourn
w about the Maps; they don't need
il. and our Job Is to dope out the
Crackers. anyway just watching
that game Thursday, you know and
seeing the Maps threatening like a
fire in an excelsior works. and then
exploding as the water reaches the
nowder magazine and letting the
Crackers tie IL up. to 6, you know.
DUNCHING the dope, as the Maps
- punched runs and errors, we
should remark that our fielding looked
almost human once more. only Tom
my Long achieved the Clcanest and
most elaborate miss of J. Jackson's
ground drive IN third that it has ever
been our acute misfortune to wit
ness II Is not possible to decide
what portion Of TOmmy's anatomy
that powerful wallop sifted through.
but it continued far enough to stretch
a neat single into q run. fortunately
with no one on the bases. Tommy
might lie down in front Of them
there are things that look worse for
an outfielder to Do.
THE rest Of the fielding, barring
4 a cross up IN signals pulled by
Mcconnell and Schwipd, In which
neither covered in time, looked very
fair. The Cracker hitting was light,
with Steamer Flanagan biting off the
lions share with two smaCking singles
and two bases on balls In his four
times at bat The big fellow tears
into fast pitching in good shape and
yesterday he slashcd one hit to LEFT
and pulled another to right, which
would seem TO indicate versatility of
attack.
THE heavy artillery " tho Maps
1 performed as per schedule Jack
son belted two on the nose and beat
out a cleverly placed bunt, and leaned
against a couple in his usual form.
Aside from that, the Cleveland hit
ting had nothing on that Of the
Crackers lshrd seemed TO have y
good deal OF stuff, in spite OF his sore
wing, Lawrence confined the big fell
lows to two hits and no scoring in his
session, and Browning suffered only
one punCture--a fearful three ply
punch by hloke named Billings in
the seventh, which was made into a
run by means Of a sacrifice fly. This
Browning person continues 10 look
good. He frontcd Messrs. Jackson
and LajOie, who led off in the eighth.
and got away clean, ASSISTED by fine
running catch on the former by Mr..
Flanagan and neat bit of Unfolding

THE return Of Harry Holland who
is expected next week. will either
help 10 solve Il. Smiths puzzle, or
complicate IT, or both. Clark Grihth
advises that he has been working
Harry al short, and that he looks
good in that role Billy Smith SAYS
he VIII start trying Holland out as
soon as he lights. and that will leave
Two jobs to be prorated among Ma

DIFFERING 10 the Maps. We have
N the also perennial gag about
LaIoie slowing down. Yes This
year we understand that Larry has
had his glove made shade larger
