1t was really Matty's day yesterday.
Eddie Cicotte was in great form yes
terday. just two Yankees reached
first, one on a pass and the other on a
single.
Allen held Chicago to two hits in
eight innings and then made a hit, the
first off Vaughn, and scored on Egan s
single, Egan batting for Eyers.
With all his substitutes at work Don
ovan was obliged to play Caldwell in
center field yesterday to fill the latest
gap in the ranks of his regulars.
If someone would stop Brooklyn for
about four straight games the race in
the National league would be punched
up nearly as we'll as the one i'll the
younger league.
Heilman, outfelder of the Detroit
team, was given a great demonstration
| yesterday for catching a woman instead
of fly, for saving a life instead of a
game of ball. He dove into the De
troit river the night before and saved
woman from drowning.
| Without a single one of his first string
outfield in the game and his star twirlel
on the injured list Manager Donovan
of the Yankees manages to keep hi'
team fighting hard games if he does no
win them all. Mogridge could not b,
asked to win yesterday when his mates
made only one hit behind him.
