II Sisler continues to hit in the
remaining games Of the series as
he has done in the first three, he is
going to be so far ahead of Tristan
e. Speaker that the Indian manager
will hsve to set an unprecedented
pace q catch him.
20 GeorEe's contribution to the hit
total was four, in five times at bat.
Three Of them were doubles. In the
three games played he has secured
nire safe ones in fifteen trips up,
half Of his efforts being two sack

jacobson Also Hitting Ball.
Eivalling the mighty Sisler dur
lnE the series has been the work
of Baby Doll Jacobson. the lumber
ing center fielder.
Yesterday he made four hits in
four times at bat. including one
healthy triple. During the visit of
the Brownies, Jake has totalled
seven bingles in thirteen trips to
pan. In view OF the fact that he
appears right on the heels of Sisler,
is il any wonder that pitchers don't
walk George oftener?
Shaw was ineffective yesterday,
but Griff permitted him to stay in
until the Browns had gathered ten
rallies. AcOsta worked the final
three frames and allowed but three
runs, which was fair enough under
the circumstances.
Though harborinE no pennant
hopes, Jimmy Burke is fighting
hard to maintain his place in the
first division. Yesterdays victory
put the Browns back at the 800
mark and all indications are that
they are going to remain there.
They have lost none Of their pep.
