Fourier soaked homer and two sin
giles.
Cy Williams, on the iaunt of the
Cubs through the Southern league
territory, is, slamming the ball just as
he did two years ago when he was
given a regular chance on the west
side. He puts all the power of his
broad shoulders and long arms into
his efforts and the result is a line
hit, the ball travelling far and fast be-
fore it stops.
Williams hits with even more force
than Vic Safer. and the blond first
baseman for two season has been the
hardest natural hitter in the Cub
troop, not excepting Heine thinner
man. The only member of Chicago
team who gets a more natural solid
crack at the ball than Safer is Jack
Fourier of the White Sox.
Long cy appears to have overcome
much of the weakness he formerly
exhibited before left-handed pitching.
The teaching of Bresnahan is begin
ming to show itself In addition to
this, Williams is using every ounce of
his speed in baserunning. This is not
confined to stealing alone, but on sew
eral occasion he has taken two bases
on an ordinary single simply because
he turned the unexpected, bis legs
and brain working together. Against
Nashville yesterday Cy cracked a pair
of hOmerS.
Standridge is being groomed for a
regular pitching assignment. He was
sent the distance against Nashville,
and, with Bresnahan helping him
along, pulled through easily. He
would not have yielded four runs if
his support had been better. Cubs
counted seven.
Today the Cubs start two-game
series with Chattanooga.
Joe Tinker's Whales did bit of
road work in game against some
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-04-05

this plainly the other day in game
against Stovalls Kawfeds.
DefensiVely the team was all right,
and Brown and LANCE did some ex-
cellent pitching, but, because of the
lack of batting practice secured in
Shreveport, the Whales were no great
shakes when it came to pushing runs
across and were licked.
Better weather will be encount-
cred in the next few days and Tinker
will drive his men hard in games be-
tween two squads of the team. Only
four more days remain before the
season will be shot open on the north
side against St. Louis, and this means
a stupendous task. Unless the Whale
pitching staff is even better than we
think, and it looks like a mighty fine
aggregation, the Whales are liable to
get away to poor start.
Cards licked Browns, 9 to o, in
fourth game of st. Louis city series.
Meadows, the specialized pitcher of
the Cards, allowed one hit in three
innings.
Washington beat Cincinnati, 3 to o,
Boehling and Shaw allowing Reds
three hits.

sympathy with the Rev. DIR. Algernon
