New York, April 30.-Cornelius Nc
Gillcuddy opined some time ago that
IL he got the pitching the AS would be
very, very likely to surprise the talent
in the Ban johnson household; the AS
have been getting the pitching.
The aforesaid Cornelius McGilicuddy
also informed the public that ofttimes
the men upon whom he counts for VIC
tories fall down and the ones held
cheap in ability ofttimes come through
with victories. 1t has come to pass that
both Mr.. McGillicuddy's statements are
founded upon truth.
The AS have been getting the Pitch
ing and dtbey have been causing sur
prises. Scott Perry, the hero of the
Shibe family last year, has dropped two
straight games and Johnny Watson,
Jing Johnson, both of whom were con-
sidered low In rating as compared with
great Scott, each have landed on their
triumph. Yesterday Jing took all the
bing out of Yankee bats. He let New
Yorkers down with six safeties and
these half dozen hits were as far apart
as pay days.
ALMOST d SnutOut
Jing hurled an article of ball that was
deserving of a shutout, and the only
Yank run in the II AS win is trace
able directly to boot by Young Mr..
Dugan, who took baseball and another
course at Holy Cross.
Watson pitched fairly good ball
against Washington, and although he
e. tln ..at1 EAkk
twirling exhibition was given by Walter
Anderson, who relieved Watson in the
seventh and went TO the thirteenth be-
fore the Senators lost.
The shooting of these three young
sters proves that Mack will get the
pitching this year il the early work
Of the trio can be taken as a criterion
Of their midsummer form. OF the three
johnson appears to be the best.
There are two other young men on
the Mack payroll who are likely to
cause rival managers a lot Of worry.
One is Seybold, who was baptized Har-
~ and called Seeks from the time he
first played ball on the back lots. The
other is Walter Kinney.
Twice Mack has intended to start
Seybold and just as many times he has
changed his mind. Seybold seems to be
in great shape. and it is probable that
he will make his 1910 debut this after
noon in the final of the series against the
Yanks.
No Fault OF Perry's
Perry's pitching has not been a dis
appointment to Mack, but the results
obtained while the big Atlanta boy has
been in the box have been disappointing
to the Tioga citizen. No fault can be
found with the hurling of Great Scotty,
for the two defeats charged against him
were due to errors of omission and com :
mission by his team mates.
New York writer's were boosting
Ernie Shore, the former Red Sox
hurler before the game, and they were
strangely silent after the ex Bostonian
got the bounce from Higgins in the
seventh yesterday. Gotham scribes
stated that Shore was good enough to
beat any American League club, let
alone the Athletics. :"
ForN three innings he looked that
good, but in the fourth he cracked and
in the seventh he fell apart. He walked
Kopp in the fourth and Burns followed
with a. triple and Witt with single
for the first two runs. After Witt beat
out an infeld hit in the seventh. Shore
went to sea, passing Thomas. Perkins
and johnson and forcing in Witt. That
was enough for Higgins, who sent Mog-
ridge in from the bullpen. Shannon
fooled the left handler by batting right
handed. andhc winged double to right,
scoring Thomas and Perkins. Roth $
infeld rap admitted johnson and Shan
non registered the final run when Pipp
fhrew wild to second
