Cravath's failure to hit can be attrfbut-
ed to two causes. He was too anxious:
that Is one reason. Every time he went
TO the plate he tried to assassinate the
ball. and, as a result, his swings were
ill-timed and he famed often. The Sec
ond reason was that the Red Sox early
discovered that Cravath. because OF the
position he takes at the plate. would
prove an easy prey to drops-and they
fed them to him.
Cravath stands well back from the

Seven Vessels Arrive at Wharf With
$500 Bushels Aboard,

Seven oyster-laden boats from river
and bay beds arrived at the 11th street
wharf yesterday. bringing about $500
bushels of fine oysters for the market.
This Is the first large feet of oyster
laden craft to arrive at the wharf in
several weeks. and they came at a
time when the supply aboard vessels
was getting short and the demand is
increasing. Late yesterday evening
prices for large lots ranged from 40
to 50 cents a bushel for good Potomac
stock, and the indications are that the
demand this week. owing to the coming
in Of the Lenten season. will be good.
The vessel masters are making prep
aration to meet the demand of the
large number of visitors expected at
the wharf today for their weekly feast
Of freshly shucked oysters. For sew

been inclemsnt and II today is a bright
