Makes Target of Harry.
Lees worst faux pas came in the
sixth when, with a double play in
sight. he soaked Courtney in the
shoulder with the ball while try
ing to throw to first, allowing
Charity and O'Rourke to scamper
home As Harry subsequently, blew
in the eighth. when the Browns
eonbed him for six hits and all OF

aIibi II that kid hadn't gone and
hit him. who knows but that he
might have continued the good
slabbing Of the first seven rounds?
Though the fates were unkind to
Courtney. they favored the willing
Al Schacht once more, allowing him
to do the finishing and get credit
for his second win in as many days.
II things keep up like this, Al will
soon be leading the league
II is gratifying to note that the
Bronx boy is showing up well in
the relief role, especially as the
relief committee goes into executive
session nearly every afternoon.
Manager FOhl used fur pitchers.
Urban ShOCker. who was one Of
Lnf league looN SSNSNAAf
lasted nearly six rounds. He also
had a good alibi for being retired,
as he turned his ankle in the
pitchers box. After that Ray Kolp
and Richmond. also yclept Ray, and
Billy Bayne took a chance. Mr..
Richmond was in there in the
eighth when the game was put on
ice. so the defeas goes against his
record.
EIIerbe Performs Well
Prominent among the visitors was
our old college friend, Governor
Ellerbe. looking just as natural as
life and acting like a high class
ball player The youth fielded in
a snappy manner and contributed a
pair of hits, the last of which tied
things up for a brief period in the
eighth. Tine customers. who have
always admired the spirit and hit
ting ability of the Shattering in
fielder. gave him a generous well
come.
1t was rather embarrassing to
Courtney to be pitching against his
former roommate and he was con-
strained to walk him in the first
inning. According to all laws of
etiduette, the Governor" should
have struck out on his next trip up,
but he knitted Harry in the back by
nilLirg safely to center. He was
ybsrad the necessity of getting an
other hit of the left-handed gentle
man. for Harry had retired when he

The first assault upon Shocker
was made in the fourth round when
the Griffs gave their artillery a brief
WORT out and scored three runs. Rice

This was the end of ShoCker and

a certain double play. Lamb tossed
