sam Jones in the opening game and
Bush by Courtney in the second
clash. Each Of the Boston pitchers
had one bad inning. which was

opponents on the mound were fair

only about 10000 present for the
unusual double-header.

Ter, who last year led the Southern
Association in home runs came once
to bat, and he certainly was on
the job. Coming up in the eighth
inning with the bases full. he pro-
jected the ball high over the center
felder's head for a double, clearing
the sacks. Previous to this the vis-
itors had had scored a couple of
runs, and Miller's hit was the climax
to Bush's bad session
There was not much in the way
of spectacular fielding in either
game. A diving catch by Milan of
a low liner projected to left by
Neitzke and a play by McInnis at
first being the only performances
out of the ordinary. bar a couple of
muffs, one by Neitzke and the other
by Smith. The Red Sox worked
in three double plays in the second
game, and the visitors two.
Nick Altrock kept the crowd in
good humor putting on a lot Of

any man on the field. During the.
intermission he gave an imitation
