New-York tribune., 1918-04-18

1t was not good ball game so far as
the playing was concerned, but it was
brm full of lots of things to retain
the interest of the fans. Before play
was called Nick Altrock kept the crowd
amused, but after the game started
Nick was not needed. The players sat
ished all demands. And what bunch
of players swarmed into the box score
before hostilities were ended
There are only two men in the New
York lineup who have not been called
upon so far in the series. They are
pitchers. AS for Washington, the only
player who failed to show himself is
a fellow named Walbauer 1t is sale
to say that these three will appear sD-
morrow at some stage or other and then
the fans here will have been properly
intoduced to all the boys Miller Hug
gins and Clark Griffith have on their
payrolls. 1t is nice to get acquainted
with everybody so early in the season.
Thormahlen Bows
Herb Thormahlen was the first
stranger to be introduced to- day He
was sent to the box by Huggins after
careful scrutiny of his demoralized
pitching staff. In these times Miller
has to pick at least two pitchers, one
to start the game and the other to finish
1t. Sometimes it takes three to do TIE
two jobs
Griff, who is confronted with the same
difficulties, picked a Mr.. Shaw. Herb
lasted long enough to give three bases
on balls and hit batsman, and Shaw
lasted long enough to give three hits.

man and make wild pitch.
The rest of the pitching array will be
mentioned at the proper place in the
exact order of their appearances on the
stage, fitting reference also being made
to the time and manner of their exit
through the wings.

offerings of Mr.. Shaw in the first inn

some tightrope walking. Nick was
