however, it is a moral victory. Bos
only 2 to !.
Far be it from ye humble scribe to
villify age and traduce gray hairs.
But our old friend, Henry O'Day, who
has dalied in every element Of the
national frolic 10 these many decades,
qualified for the brown derby by unani-
nous consent. Hank, because Of that
crustiness of age to which all NOR
tai flesh falls heir in time, made
mountains out of mole hills and be-
cause of personal spleen ruined an
afternoons keen enjoyment for $4,000
enthusiasts.
In the second inning O'Day chased
quarters OF the Boston team
right out of the picture in the persons
Of Artie Nehf, the sterling southpaw;
rabbit" Maranville and Buck Her
zog. He was on the point Of canning
Lank Hank Gowdy with them, but
thought better of it in time. 1t might
have been dangerous even for a ven
cradle Jumps" to triAe with a national
hero fresh returned from Coblenz
The crowd was piqued at Hankthe
umpire-as it was and roundly showed
Its disapproval in Kisses and catcalls.
Toss Caps and Gloves
Whether or not O'Day's uncalled
for show of autocracy affected the
ultimate issue there is no way of tell
ing. Certainly the removal of Nehf,
Herzog and Maranville did not tend
to improve Boston's chances. These
players did nothing more than toss
their caps and gloves in the air to
show disapproval Of ODay's judg-
ment on balls and strikes.
With the bases filled and only one
out in tire second inning O'Day called
three successive pitches balls" that to
every one behind the plate appeared
to cut the heart of the dish breast
high. On the second decision Gowdy
and Nehf both demonstrated spiritedly
but gentlemanly. The third bad de-
cision seemed simply a case of ODay's
showing his authority and resentment
This was a mighty foolish attitude for
O'Day to assume. The big crowd had
teen highly entertained by the pepper
ard spirit of Herzog and Maranvlle
in practice. 1t paid its good money to
see a: 9irited game and it was no fault
Of oDay that after Stallings's three
&C been chased the pastime did
nc develop a shambles for the visitors.
Ray Heating. our old Yankee friend,
acquitted himself so ably as a rescuer
for Nehf that he might have taken
the measure of Rube Benton, good as
this southpaw was, with the least bit
OF luck. He pulled out of very bad
hole in the second by forcing Gonzales,
who had him in the hole with three
balls and no strikes when Ray went
Into the box, to hit as a matter of self
protection. Gonzales raised short
fly to centre on which Doyle attempted
to score He lost the decision when
Gowdy made a clever pickup of Rig
gert's short throw and tagged the slid
ing Larry for a double play.
Both New York's runs were scored
off Heating, and both came with two
out. In the fourth inning Zimmerman
lobbed tall hoist into the right field
stand which was fair by inches only.
But for the wall it would have been
the easiest sort of chance for Powell
With two out in the fifth Doyle walked
for the second time. He stole second,
aided by Gowdy's high throw, and
scored OH Pep Young's only hit, clean
single to left field.
Texas League Double
Thereafter Heating was in trouble
only twice. Fletcher dropped a Texas
league double into right with only one
out in the seventh. He was snuffed out
attempting to steal third base 1t was
a costly pilfer attempt, as Gonzales, a
moment later, doubled off Red Smiths
shins. George Burns opened the eighth
with a clean single to left He was
doubled when Pep Young hit sharply to
Rawlings. Chase followed with a hit
to hight, but was left, as Doyle
grounded to second
Benton displayed such excellence of
form that Boston had only two really
good chances to drag the chestnuts
from the fire. They might have won
the argument in tie fifth inning but
for the foolhardy base running of Wal
ter Holke. He opened the fifth with
clear hit to right, and moved up, of
course, when Blackburne beat a bunt
down the first base lire Riggert de
livered the third consecutive blow, with
none out, sharp single to left field
Hoike, who was fat-footed when this
clont was delivered, very foolishly
tried TO score. Burns cut him down at
the plate With case.
