soluteIy no interest in the Federal
League race.
1t would seem that the American
League clubs permitted a mighty good
ball player to slip out of the circuit
when they allowed waivers on Doc
Johnston. who is playing wonderful
ball for the Pittsburgh Pirates. john
ston is playing the best ball of his
career for the Pittsburgh team, and he
is filling the position better than any
other man the Pirates have had since the
days when Bransf1eld was in his prime.
There are several American League
clubs which would be benefited by the
acquisition of Johnston.
Neither the White Sox nor Tigers are
finding the sailing smooth since COM
ing east. Neither of these teams has
been able to make any headway in
this section. although Detroit started
off with run Of four victories out Of five
Boston has held back both of the lead
ers. and last Saturday both the Ath-
letics and Nationals held them in
check. Boston is making rapid gains on
the leaders, and 1T seems only a ques
tion of time when it will be within
whispering distance of both the Sox and
Tigers.
John McGraw is shy on catchers.
The trouble with Mclean leaves him
with Chief Meyers as his only seasoned
backstop, and he is anxious to add an
other. Archer, the star of the Cubs, is
the fellow McGraw wants. He is will
ing to make trade or give lot Of
cash for Archer. but it is not likely
that Bresnahan will consent to such a
deal, for he needs Archer himself.
Bresnahan is a great catcher himself

safe drives made Off his delivery. A
pitcher without control Is absolutely
helpless regardless Of how much stuff
he may have.
Eddie Foster hit for a double and a
triple in four times up. His double
resulted in a run. for Shanks followed
with q hit but though there was but
one out when he tripled in the sixth
he was left. Dan Moeller had a SINH
lar experience in the eighth. hitting
for three bases with one down and

Fournier had sixteen put-outs at
first base. showing how many balls
were driven into the infield by the local
6atters Had there been dry fast
gone safe and there would have been
much closer score at the finish.
One thing that Rowland seems to
have accomplished 1s making his team
hustle. 1t is a fighting Aggregation
which is never beaten until the last
man is out. Rowland always is on the
coaching lines encouraging and driv-
coacher and seems to get everything
out Of his men.

one Of the freaks Of the schedule which
was made with the aim to avoid as
many conflicts with the Federal League
as possible. New York and Philadel-
phia also have a couple Of games
scheduled for the same day.
President Johnson said yesterday that
in due time double-headers would be
entirely done away with, so far as 1t
was possible. "Of course, arrange
ments must be made to force a team
to play out its full schedule, SO far as
possible, but that is the only time that
double-headers should occur. I am in
favor Of schedule which will leave
open dates on which postponed games
can be played. The two games sched-
uled here with Boston Monday were
| made necessary by the schedule, which
Is free from as many conflicts as pos
sible"
The White Sox victory and tho fact
that the Yankees won two games from
the st. Louis Browns showed the Ma
tionals back in the second division, the
| margin being decidedly slim, however,
| as victory today and a defeat for the
Yanks would once more reverse posi-
tions Of the two teams.
President Ban johnson denied having

a right handed thrower. which makes
him available for any Of the outfeld

| Giving Jim Shaw four and five days

way to get good results from the big
pitcher. If Shaw Is to be one of the
more regularly. A perusal OF his work

Walter Johnson's case Is similar. he

speed and the freeness Of his arm, and
they believe that If the big fellow can
como through their chances for the
pennant will be greatly increased
But no correct line on Walsh will
| be had until he gets into a champion
ship game and faces a first class ball
team. Pitching in practice is quite diff
ferent from what 1t is in a game.
Eddie Collins had a busy day in the
