Gossip of Yesterday Play.

which made him class with the best out
fielders in the league.

while his fielding is back to the form
which made him class with the best out
fielders in the league.
For the first time since hhe has been
playing second, Douglas Nefr went with
out a hit yesterday. and he also had the
misfortune to make an error. throwing
poorly after picking up Maisel's hit in the
eighth. But Neff is playing the position
better than 1t has been played in some
time. He is covering all the ground be-
tween first and second and he is handling
all sorts Of grounders clearly. while his
hitting has been one Of the features.
Neff is an intelligent player Though
he has played In very few games, h. has
never been guilty of missing a single sign
and Is thinker, just what has been need
ed to help Mcbride on the infield.
Chic Gandil had a few breaks for the
first time in some days and rs a result
he got single and a double. Things have
been breaking poorly for the Nationals
nrst sacker. as many of his line drives
and long hits have been pulled down by
the opposing f1elders.
Boone, the Yankees second baseman.
had a very busy day Of it, having four
teen chances without an error. which
were equally divided between the put
out and the assist column. Boone has
developed into quite a second baseman,
ooS AAe 10 HOl hitting as well as bOnO-
van would like to have him, and it is
not unlikely that unless he improves in
this respect he will be supplanted by
Pat Bauman. who hit well in the short
trial he has had in the position, though
he Is not near as good in the field as
is Boone.
1t is to be regretted that a base ball
plant SO elaborate. and costly as the
Polo Grounds should have such a short
right and left field, thus making the
games played here rather uncertain at
all times. for most any little pop fly
is apt to develop into a home run in
right Held. and 1t does not take a long
drive to put 1t into the left field seats.
This state Of affairs makes victories
here very uncertain, for there is no
telling when one of these home run
flukes may occur. but there is no way
to change this for the reason that the
room is necessary to give the park the
capacity 1t needs. Hartzelps home run
In the ninth yesterday, which gave the
Yankees couple of runs, was the
worst fluke imaginable. 1t was moth
ing more than a little pop fly which, is
it had not fallen into the seats, would
have been easy for Connolly. All the
three hitters who followed Hartzell
tried to drive the ball into this same
spot, but none of them were success
full. though the three outs were all
made by Connolly in right field, who
grabbed three easy flies.
Walter johnson left here late last
night for Washington. He was called
home by the illness Of his wife. He Is
expected back in time. to pitch one Of
the double-headers tomorrow.

CUBS CANNOT GET HERz0G.

OF the Cubs said yesterday he mad a
"chance to get" Manager Herzog OF the
Cincinnati club.
1t has been gossip in base ball circles
for some time that Herzog Is discon-
tented In Cincinnati. but it is under
stood that nothing but star player In
exchange can win Herzog from Herr

suit with Manager Bresnahan as to
how far he would go in making an
offer of players in exchange for the
Cincinnati star.

Charles Herzog Is not for sale nor Is ne

that he had 'chance to get" Herzog
President Hermann said: That Is
Joke. There is absolutely nothing to 1t.

this instance he has been wholly mis-
informed. Herzos is not for sale or

CLAY COURT TENNIS
DOWN TO THE FINALS
R. Norris Williams Will Play
George NJ. Church for the
Title Today.

PITTSBURGH. July 2.-The officials
Of the pittsburgh Athletic Association
made strenuous efforts to put the courts
in condition for the clay court tennis
championships yesterday, pouring ben
zine over the ground and then setting
fire to it. This was the means Of get
ting couple of courts ready early in
the day. and several more by noon. so
that the mems singles were narrowed
down to the final, which will take place
this afternoon between r. Norris Will
liams and George NJ Church.
These two players have shown good
form during their last two matches and
had to stretch to get through the semi
finals yesterday. Church had for his
opponent w. NJ. Washburn of the West

suited in the Princeton star coming off
victorious in three straight sets, rs.
out of the first four in the first set. but
soon got into his stride and won out by
scoring Al points to Washburn's 33 in
the T. score. In the second set
Church again started badly. but won
the last five games and the set. The
points In this set were 81 to 80. The
third set was easier for Church, who
won g., scoring Sc to Washburn's %
points.

Immediately following this match
canfe the semi-final between N. w.
Niles Of Boston and r. Norris Williams.
In the first set, which went to Will

The finals of the singles for the
championship of the junior tennis tour
nament at the Dumbarton Club were
played yesterday. and G. c. Howard
was returned the winner over H. A.
Falconer by scores of 6-3 and Ct.
When the match started there was
quite a large gallery on hand. and the
contest, which was a stubborn one. was
followed with unusual interest. BY his
victory Howard won a beautiful silver
loving cup and also got his name OF
the handsome silver trophy, which
must be won three times for perma-
nent possession.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

NEW YORK, July Either Jim Shaw
or DOC" Ayers will be pitted against the
Yankees in the third game Of the series
today, and Saturday, when the double
header is slated, Walter johnson and Joe
Boehling are likely to be the pitchers.
1t has been definitely arranged to have
Ray Caldwell oppose Walter johnson In
one game. it being believed that such a
contest will tend to increase greatly the
attendance. Incidentally, Griffith figures
that Boehling and johnson stand a chance
of winning both ends of the bargain
matinee. which' would give the Griffmen
a material boost in the race.
Shaw pitched we'll enough on opening
day here to have won his game, but the
breaks were against him. 1t is question
able however, if Griffith will use Ayers,
for the reason that the high pitching
mound on the Polo Grounds is absolutely
a handicap to an underhand twirler like
Ayers, while the mound is OF great help
to an overland pitcher like Shaw: hence
the selection of Shaw for today's game
seems almost assured.
Bert Gallia not only pitched a bril-
liant game of ball, but he fielded his posi-
safely twice-for double and single.
while his third trip to the plate resulted
in a terrific liner, which Boohe caught.
Gallia's fielding feat was when he COW
cred the bag on a ball hit to right field.
which Gandil made dive for but missed.
Gallia, of course, started to cover the bag
as soon as the ball was hit. Nef backed
up Gandil, scooped up the ball anG threw
to first, which Gallia covered Oh ens run
and retired the batter. 1t was the feature
play of the day, and won Nen ana CANA
considerable applause.
Ray Fisher, who usually IS most e.
fective against the Griffmen, did not seem
to have much yesterday, and he was hit
hard right from the outset. He lasted un-
til the sixth inning, when he was yanked
out with eight hits charged against him.
McHale took his place and Jared but little
bettet.
Just which one Of Donovan's pitchers
will be worked today is not known, but 1t
is sure not to be Caldwell, for he Is
slated to oppose Johnson Saturday.
John Henry is developing into one OF
the best hitting catchers in the league.
John got three hits yesterday. all OF which
were timely, and one was for three bases.
in the eighth, which brought Milan home
with the Nationals final run. John has
been hitting we'll in all of his recent games
and it is attributed to the fact that he not
only is using Eddie Fosters bat, but he
is practicing right-field hitting. with Fos-
ter's style, and it has been OF much bene-
At to him.
