CHAPTER wi.

Several soberer men closed around
the boy, and after disarming him, led
him away grumbling and muttering,
while VILE McCager made apologies to
the guest.
"Jimmy's Jest a peevish child" he
explained. "A drop or two Of Ticker
makes him skittish. | hopes YEN look

Jimmy's outbreak was interesting to
Lescott chiefly as an indication of
what might follow. Unwilling to in.
troduce discord by his presence, and
involve Samson In Quarrels on his &C.
count, he suggested riding back tc
Misery, but the boys face clouded at
the suggestion.

ing immediate action. Tinker will be
in uniform Saturday, Tinker day,
when the Terapins battle the Whales.
Blurbs of the last few days that the
Red Sox had exploded and were due
for a slump appear to have been ill
timed. Carrigan's crew lost a few
games, showing they are human, but
are back at their old winning stride.
! Again the schedule came to their
assistance, giving them the soft pick
ing of the Athletics after they had
dropped three in row to the Yanks.
A team which carries the pitching,
batting and fielding power of the Red
Sox cannot be expected to slump over
very long period. Shore held the
Macks to one hit and KnoWlson was
pounded. Hooper, Barry and Speak
er drove in the runs.
Washington swept five straight
from Yanks. Five Yank pitchers were
easy in double bill, Harper and Gallia
performing well for Griffs.
Passes and errors let Tigers pass
Cleveland after Lowdermilk and Bo-
land had been knocked from the box.
Incidentally Cobb poled two singles,
a double and stole base. The slump
is over.
Once more the PhiIIies have shown
ability to pull away from their rivals
when danger threatened. Winning
two games from New York while
Brooklyn was trimming Braves gave
them a fair margin with which to
head through the west. 1t is only a
three-game lead over the. Dodgers
and four over the Braves, but Moran's
people are playing well enough to
hold unless something unforeseen oc-
ours. Alexander gave Giants three
hits in first battle and Demaree was
tight in second until Phils had a safe

homer.
