The practice game to-day was won
by the regulars By the score Of runs
70 4. Jimmy Johnston, the new out
fielder from the Oakland club, played
centrehcld for the regulars and bstted
after Gus Getz. Jimmy was the first
one out on the field in the morning, and
showed tic other boys how he could
run the bases and his ability 20 pull
down liners that are labelled triples
and home runs. Johnston is fast, but
there is some doubt whether he can
beat Hickman running. Hickman ran
back about twenty yards in to-dsy's
game and pulled liner out Of the air
that looked like a sure triple IL not q
home run.
Johnston got two hits in the game
and accepted the same number Of
chances in centre field. Johnston had
a nice position at the plate, and under
Robbie ne should develop into . hitter.
