PLAYS HERE FOURTH

Owing to the cancellation of the
Marion Boosters game with the Rich
mond Giants, George Brehm, booking
agent for the Giants, has succeeded in
booking the Fa FINLAND club for a
double header on the Fourth.
The Marion team when cancelling
the date said that so far this season
it had not been able to have street
car service to its park and for that
reason the park had been closed, but
from now on the grounds will be open
and as the Fourth is big day in
Marion for ball game, it was thought
best to play at home.

'JJACK kEENE

The Yankees have lost their claim
to the title of "Shutout Champs. AS
far as can be learned nobody in New
York town has shed any tears over
the loss, though.
Last season they were showed IN
to the whitewash bucket twenty times,
an average of once every seven days.
And they lacked the brush to return
the whitewash dope.
But this season, due to the addition
of Pratt and Bodie to the regular line
up and the improvement in the bat
ting of ]. Franklin Baker. Wallie Pipp
and Roger Peckinpaugh, the team has
suffered nine consecutive goose eggs
only twice. 1t has played over half of
its games and will have to forget now
to score to reach the unenviable mark
of last season.
It has often been contended that
the Yankees were mild ball team
and took things too easy, never max
ing much of a fight for their games
This cannot be said OF the team now.
That dash into first place evidently
has awakened the spirit of the players
and they are battling hard for every
thing these days.
The hard loser is the frequent win
ner and the Yankees are showing
real displeasure whenever things
break against them. Love and Pipp
are players of the extremely mild
type, but both have become so OBJ
streperous in recent games that they
were chased to the clubhouse by UNI
pires. Perhaps they have been a bit
too demonstrative, but the fact re-
mains that the players are battling
hard.
Arthur Irwin, who is making a
success as manager of the Rochester
club of the international league, has
a big league prospect in Earl Smith,
a catcher. Smith is showing good
judgment behind the plate and his
batting is playing an important part
in the teams success.
