Sporting Notes.

The Phillics took the lead away from
the Giants yesterday.
The Red Sox made only six hits in two
games against Washington Yesterday
but they managed to win one of them.
The Yankees continue 10 creep nearer
the top of the American league ladder
By consistent attack and more than fair
pitching.
The PIP combination, Pipp and Peek
inpaugh, continues to win games for
the Yankees. When they fail Baker
clouts long one and does the work.
Rixey pitched good ball against the
Giants when he held them to two hits,
one due to fast work by Robertson on
II infield grounder. Not a Giant reached
second base.
Q Hara 5 tail-end Springfield team lost
tough l3-inning game to New Haven
yesterday by score of [ TO 0. Wood
held the league leaders to oniy three hits
in the Is innings and finally lost on an
error.
Owner Carey Of the Springfield club is
said to have smiled when he handed
pitcher Oscar Russell his release on or
ders of Manager o Hara, knowing as
the owner did that Griffith had signed
up the young man for his twirling staff
Mr.. Carey is quoted as saying that it
seemed to him that ball player who is
good enough to be sought by major
league manager ought to he good enough
to be held by minor league tail-end
club. In this is TO be seen the indication
of some dissatisfaction with the present
manager of the Springfield Green Sox.

on for 207 men Two hum

State record, but we donbt
if it can ,be equaled in the
United States. It is but
keeping up. the military ira
