People used TO say that Clarenc.
Rowland was a hypnotist They were
in the habit of pointing to the record
Of Jacques Fournier in order to prove
the potency of Rowland's gift.
The big first baseman became a hit
ter, according to these stories. because
Rowland persisted in telling him that
he was a great batter But the rriiby
of the troupe is out of hand. Rowland
will have to mesmerize mighty hard
to-day if he hopes to continue the en-
thrallment of the athlete in delusion.
Fourier famed the first three times
up and was out on little infeld tap
in his last appearance ut the plate.
We don't believe Rowland is a hyp-
nOtist at all. but there Is no denying
that he is a mighty powerful talker.
Right now Rowland does more chatter
ing during game than any leader in
either league.
Buck HerzOg used to talk a lot to his
Reds until he found it was no use. but
even in his most prolific days he could
never equal Rowland in length.
breadth or depth OF conversation.
Clarence takes no rest. He has Just as
much to say to the players OF the
other team as to his own men.
Doc Cook thought that he was un-
u
spOnsible for his conduct only to Bill
Donovan, but Rowland took him SEE
verely to task in the second .nnIas fot
not sliding into first Later he ad-
vised Boone to bunt, as he had 40
chance to hit, and whenever Nura-
maker came to bat Rowland comment
ed loudly on the proves of Alexander,
young catcher who Is soon to join
the Yankees.
The White SoX managers structures
on the batting OF Boone were prob
ably based on the fact that Lutte IS
hitting somewhat below 200 or there
abouts. They did not apply with any
particular pertinency yesterday, Tor iC
was a double by boone which won the
game in the ninth inning
Coupled with the double was little
strategy. The Yankees have not been
altogether noted for strategy this sea
son, which made their surprise play
all the more effective. Boone began
the winning rally Of the ninth with a
two-base hit to deep left. Il waS
aimed at the sign, which entities nam

drive failed to carry the necessary
distance By few yards. But saso-
lene is pretty high these days.
Hartzell was sent up with instruc'
tions 10 bunJ, but he had no chance

taking mis- turn at the plate PIpp went
into secret session with Donovan. The
manager gave him certain instructions
and Pipp nodded.
He's going to let him hit it out,
exclaimed the tacticlans Of the stands,
adding by way OF explanation: "Pipp
is fine long hitter. but poot
bunter."
Sure enough, Pip took a hard swing
at the first ball pitched. Benz had de-
livcred it high to keep the batter from
bunting. Deceived into thinslng that
no sacrifice woal! be attempted, tne
pitcher shot the next ball over much
lower. This time PIpp did not SWING,
but merely thrust his bat out and
dropped the ball on the third base line
Biackburne was caught hatiooted, and
making "a belated rush for the ball. he
was hurried into pad throw, which
sailed above the outstretched hand OF
Fournier. Boone came home on low
speed before Murphy could pick the
bali away from the foot of the wall.
