Two Pennsylvania crews beat two
Annapolis crews Saturday.
Walter johnson has started twice
and finished first both times.
The White Sox lead the American
league with FIVE straight wins.
Old Honus Wagner got only four hits
in five chances Saturday. He's gone
back.
Incidentally that Brooklyn team of
Manager Robinson s is moving at some
pace.
The mighty "Matty' 90 his Satur-
day. A home run with the bases
crowded was the last straw.
$Chenoweth,, who played short Tor
Brattleboro in the early part of last
season, is at second for Lehigh.
A days work for a Yale crew is
only IA miles of rowing. It's tough
to 90. through that and then lose.
1t is currently reported that the
pitchers are the last TO round into
form. Up to yet it is the batters who
are showing lack of form.
Driscoll, with Brattleboro shogt
time last year, went in as relief pi5ca-
ei against the Massachusetts ''AggIes

The Giants and Braves share the cell
lar position in the National league
while the Athletics, worlds cham
| pions, and the crippled Cleveland team
divide that distinction in the Ameri-
| c8n.
Demmitt was released by Detroit
| Saturday at the waiver price and re-
ported to the White Sox. He went in
as pinch hitter soon after he report
ed and whanged out a triple good
for a run.
The st. Louis Browns, with We'll
| man in the box, broke the White Sox
| winning streak yesterday, but the Maps
lost another game by one run. The
/ first six games were lost and each by
one run. That looks as if they were

i breaks. Anyway, it is said to be a
record for the league.
Boston sporting critics could see
| nothing remarkable about the Wash

ter the first defeat for the Red Sox.
After the second shutout at the hands
! of Boehling, the critics are declaring
that the Washington team has some
/ claim on the pennant eff. Twas
ever thus.
! We note that when Speaker comes in
| ogfthe run and trys to make pickup
and the ball gets by him it goes as 4
hit in Boston,. The difference between
4 averages in such leagues as the 'sTwir
State, and the ''real'' ones is shown
in the error for the fielder in the TwiT
State and the hit for the batter in the
big league.
