SHTBE PARK. June IA severe reprl-
mand to Harry Davis was administered
at Shibe Park today by Nick Altrock. the
comedian Of the Washington visitors who
tumbed into town to clash with the
Ryanized Mackmen. Nick was practiclng
at first base, and he made peg to Davis
at home. Davis dropped the ball you
should have had that" yelled Nick, and
Davis looked crestfalen.
The approach Of warm weather seems
to be warming up Nick He shows twice
the pep today he did the last time the
Senators were in town. Also. he seems
to be much more perfect in his lines so
to speak
Weldon Wyckoff was sent UP as per
predictions by Connie Mack to oppose
Walter Idaho Johnson, who is reliably
reported to carry lots of smoke At this
writing-the first innng-they had not
managed to do anything on Weldon.
Ryan, the mysterious second sacker. was
again on deck today for the .Mackmen,
but alas for all the comedy. Somebody
had spilled the alleged beans as to the
proper name of Mr.. Ryan. and the word
had gone forth that it is Malone. Certain
scrlbes went to Connie Mack, who stood
pat on the Mr. Ryan" appellation he
plastered on the spry youth yesterday at
the time of his debut Wherefore there
was much speculation. Everybody agreed
there was n Malone playing bail in Mary
land but none could say II this Malone
and the Ryan-M Malone of the Mackmen
were one and the same person. So there
you are.
Milan scored the first run for Wash
lngton in the second inning, with the
assistance of McAvoy and Wyckoff Nc
Avoy threw wild to second when Milan
started to steal and Milan got the sack
full OF dirt sliding into the bag, More runs
came in later in the inning because
Wyckof simply couldn't bear to see bat
teTs standing at the plate. so he took IA
nice method OF preventing them from hit
ting, and that was to walk them. In all,
three runs came in.
The Mackmen arose Indignantly in
their half of this inning. McAvoy re-
ueelleu nlIlSell DN II Single bdITS, "uO
hadn't done anything wrong. neverthe-
less thought he ought to contribute to
the serenade. He doubled, Kopf walked.
At this point Mack had a hunch. He put
Davies into bat, and Davies did his
double, tying the score.
Fireman Rube Bressler. who wears
red shirt that can be seen a great dis
tance, started the next inning for the
home boys. II should bit noted that Rube
fa tho nDlN. nlan1hpT of the
Mackmen who wears red shirt Such Is
fame.
Ryan gave fine exhibition of gameness
in the fourth inning, when nasty
grounder he was waiting for hit him in
the face In spite of this he fielded the
ball and caught his man at FIRST.
Barry tried to start something In the
windup of this session by a neat single.
The next two men up went out on foul
flies and then Barry was caught at sec
ond trying to steal.
