Gainesville, Fla, April 9.-The Bos-
ton Red Sox, champions of the world,
still are manhandling the Giants They
smeared the proud Manhattan Island
ers into the. Florida sand again here
Yesterday and cIinched the series The
Sox added q shutout conquest to their
previous successes and trounced the
Giants by q score OF to 0. It was
the fourth straight victory for Bar
ron's champions. and as the series has
only three more games to go Boston
already has the series in its hip
pocket
Ferdie Schupp, the Louisville left
handler, was McGraws opening pitch
er and his showing was not encourag-
ing. After Schupp's splendid work I'm
practice pitching it was firmly believ-s
ed that the sensational little "Schup-
pie" would make q great comeback. =
But after his performance yesterday
Schupp's future is dubious. Inh= the
four innings he walked six, men and in
the first inning the SoX punched f1ve
hits with two passes for a block of
FIVE runs-which virtually won the
game for Boston before New YorId
went to bat.

Strained Muscle.

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 9.-Pitcher
Harry C'slim'') Sallee of the Gin
cinnati Nationals was yesterday or
dered to a hospital by DR.. H. H. Hines,
the Cincinnati clubs physician, where
he will undergo the hot air cylinder
treatment for q strained muscle on
the right side of the sprine. Sallee
was compelled to leave the Reds
training camp several days ago be-
cause of q recurrence of trouble with
his back. which interfered with his
effectiveness while with the New

DR.. Hines hopes by the treatment
ut the hospital to iron out the sore
ness. He says an X-ray did not re-
veal anything wrong beyond the
strained muscle.

caught one of Burleigh Grimes shoots
on the seam and cleaned up the paths
with long triple over Zach Wheat's
head in right field. Roger himself rode
home astraddle of Pipp's following
single. Peckinpaugh's clean up clouti
and Plpp's single gave the Yankees a
four run margin which they increased
by another marker in the eighth, New
York 8, Brooklyn 4, was the tale the
score board told when the smoke of
battle drfted off the field.
Though Grimes was charged with
the loss of the game, none Of the runs
scored after he entered the box in the
seventh were earned, and the great
Brooklyn right handler now has a rec
ord of twirling ten innings against the
Yankees without allowing an earned
run. Two errors by Ivy Olson, who
had his first bad day of the year, help
