diem needs coaching, but he gives
promise of making 4 pitcher, because
he has shown a lot of stun.
After the officials of the local club
had reached the conclusion yesterday
that il might be more pleasing to the
patrons of the game ana stimulating TO
the attendance to have local games
start at O'Clock every afternoon on
week DAYS an announcement TO thal
effect was given the press, which. now
ever, later in the afternoon was Win
drawn, and the announcement maze
that the games would start during the
remainder of the teams stay at nome
At 2.3O O'Clock, as has been the case.
1t is very likely that a vote on the
question of what time the patrons

All the western clubs in the American
League were beaten yesterday, eAcept |
the Chicago White SoX, who renamed
in the cellar position only single
day. and now are back IN sixth place.
But the White Sox are expected TO
have very rough time In the -FOUR
games they are scneduled to play mere
II is a team which is lame ntably weak
against left-handed pitching, and
Harry Harper has been left at nome 10
prepare himself for the first game OF
series
ali proba bility be pitched in the second
game, GalIia probably in the third and
Walter johnson will have plenty Of
rest to pitch the final session.
Doc Ayers will be on hand to take
mn the running at any time if one of the
other pitchers happens TO go wrong, Tor
the doctor has always been decidedly sue
cessful against the Rowland aggregate
Wambsganss seems to be much bet
ter hitter this spring than he ever has
been before ana his batting in the games
here has been decidedly clever. In the
first game he made two doubles and d
single off Johnson. He did not get a
hi ON Friday, but he got triple and d
single off Galha yesterday and was re-
sponsible for the two runs which tied the
score in the second inning He also
rea ched first on his two other times
at bat once on an error by Foster and
once on pass.
Joe Judge hit line drive which car
o,ned off klepfer's shin in the seventh
inning and rolled past Howard to short
right field. 1t was one of the hardest hit
balls of the game, and II came near re-
sultng in Judge being thrown out, for 1t
was only by an inch that Howard failed
to intercept the ball as it was going to
right field, AS it was, Judge was nailed at
second on Smiths throw to WambSganss.
Judge had one of his good days with the
bat getting three singles in four trips to
struck out the second time up, but helped
his team to its third run in the sixth by
neatly moving Rondeau up with sacri-
flee, which allowed Shanks' single to
score Rondcau.
Some one threw pop bottle from
the Ton of the grandstand directly behind
the press box at Umpire Chill. who was
officiating behind the bat yesterday. The
bottle missed the umpire by only few
feet.
officers were sent to the upper tier to
investigate and, if possible, arrest the
culprit, but no information regarding the
perpetrator of the act could be obtained.
Bert Gallia pitched splendid game of
ball and he would have won it even if his
| team had gotten him but three runs, for
two would have been all the Indians
could have scored had Bert been pushed
| to the limit.
Gallias luck seems to have changed
| this year Last year he was the victim
| of many 1-to-0 games. and very seldom
! did his teammates get him runs enough
to make it possible for him to win
