GALL|A SHOWS He
HAS MASTEREQA ARM
He Wins His Opening Game at
Expense of the Yankees.
Score, 3 to 2.
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

Bert Gallia Is now one OF Griff's reg
ulars. The young Texan, who once
toted the monciker of 'firecracker,"
has arrived with both feet and hands.
Instead of dropping his hot shot in
every direction but that desired. he now
has all the accuracy of a French To-
millimeter in the trenches. That's why
he copped his opening game in the 1915
campaign, defeating the Yankees, to 2,
before several thousand yawning fans.
Bert raced through his nine frames and
never passed man. Speed the word
to Joe Engel.
Gallia ought never to have had such
a close shave for his victory. The Griff-
men had twelve men left on bases.
which shows how speedy they were on
the sacks. Furthermore. they collected
but seven hits off Carroll Brown, the

ceed In getting two at a time Painful
pounding in the pinches still keeps the
home boys from becoming rungetters
Gallia waxed stronger the longer he
performed and was applauded at the
conclusion of his contest He is now
one OF the elect.
Browns wildness slowed up the clash
and the fans fell asleep frequently. The
Yank had terrific struggle to keen the
pill around the platter but he managed
tc wade through the whole game,
though he shivered and shook many a
time.
The home boys had a run presented to
them by Brown in the first inning.

stinger Off Gallia's glove and then the
Texan was slow In shooting Cook 8
Peck sacrificed. Morgan getting Ain
smiths peg at first. Mcbride chased
out into the garden for Boones pop fiy.
Gallia fell all over Sweeney's little
swining bunt. the catcher reaching first
and Pipp scoring. A moment later a
double steal sent Cook across, Gallia' s
high peg to the plate not giving Ain
smith a chance at blocking the runner.
The Griffmen evened the tally in their
back to sleep. With two down. Moeller
scratched hit to first and hiked all
the way around for run when Foster
hammered one off Boones shins out
into center field.
Not till the sixth was the ba tile decided,
and again Browns wildness. rather than
any strength OF the Griffs. was to blame.
Ainsmith opened with a walk and was
sacrificed by Mcbride. Gallia's long fly
to Cree sent Ainsmith to third in a
hurry. Moeller smashed one toward
Boone's right. The Yankee saw he could
never get the Rochester Rambler. and
SO took a chance on Ainsmith at the
plate. Ed Sweeney wasn't tipped off,
though. He never made a move into
the diamond for the low throw. and IL
went to the stand. the flying catcher
easily crossing the plate. That proved
TO be the run that won.

The Yankees have gone until May 29
when they come back for three con-
tests in two days.
Gallia's victory is well received by the
Griffmen. as they are pulling for the
younEster to make good this year.
Even If the Yankees don't look like
titters. they sure can bunt Bill DorO-
van has them all practice this art every
day.
Sam Wood came to life in the fourth
when Dan Moeller shot foul fly In his
direction. One bare-handed stab and
Sam held the pill in triumph.
Lutte Boone looked good when he
came in on Shanks' hon in the nth
and got his man. Boone took the ball
with one hand, having no time to do
moro.
Hank Shanks Is working hard to hold
his place In the garden. In three DAYS
he has been to bat officially eight times
Getting three bingles gives him a 375
average.
Bert Gallia. besides excelling on the
mound, showed he could bunt in the
fourth. He laid down beauty along
the first base line. Brown came over
fast and just got the runner.
Domnick Mullaney has been pleasing
in ev"rv particular. though Mullaney
vas dubbed leather head Thurs
day. However. that only goes to prove
that the biggest umpire in captivity is

Here are some important figures
They show some things about the first
three games played by the Griffmen:

Tho Griffmen have made eleven runs
on twenty-four hits and twenty one
bases on balls. The weakness Of their
base running Is shown by tho fact that
they have had thirty men left on
bases in three games, an average OF
ten 10 game. Many team with few
er hits, but better running, has scored
more runs. The running and timely
hitting of the Griffmen has been very
poor; worse than they can present il
they hope TO land n high place in the
final ranking of the team. Joe Birm-
tngham, manager of the Cleveland
club. looks for the Griffmen to win
the pennant this year. but he has yet
to look over these figures
Joe Gedeon, the former Crttman
now PLAYING with Salt Lake city. in
the Pacific Coast League. is leading his
circuit at the bat. Joe Is holding down
second base and hitting for .iS4 in nine
games.
The Griffmen play four games with
the Red SOX in this series. They leave
for New York Wednesday at midnight
They have four games in New York
before coming back here for as many
more with the Athletics. sThen their
first long sweep around the circuit is
