Headed by Manager Carrisan the Red
Sox reached town at midnight from
Philadelphia, and announcement was
made that Dutch Leonard. the chunky
southpaw, would probably adorn the
mound in the opening clash with the Ma

Bert Gallia's poor exhibition of felding

A report was circulated yesterda v
that Chick Gandil's throwing arm was
much more serious than has been given
out through newspaper statements. but
Manager Griffith stoutly denies this.
The Old Fox says Gandil is under
treatment and that the arm is coming
along nicely. According to Griff the
big first sacker may be able to play in
a week.
In the meanwhile the fans are not
grumbling. for Rippy Williams seems
to be holding his own very nicely on
first base and also manages to sand
witch in a hit or two during every
game. Williams has yet to be charged
with a fielding error.
President Ban johnson notified all club
manager prior to the opening of the
season. that instructions had been given
the umpires to enforce the balk rule
Griff smiled when he read Johnsons mes

who comes anywhere near making a balk

the Old Fox
There IL one thing that can be said of
the New York Yanks. The travelling uni
forms provided for them are natty and
pleasing to the eye. The club may not
finish in the first division. as some of
the Gotham scribcs would have us be-
lieve. but it is neatly uniformed-you
can't take that away from them.

Gallia worked the entire game, allowed
