Athletics Bubble Over With Pep.

Bryan Harris. the superslender
Philadelphia pitcher who travels un-
der the obvious alias of Slim. whiled
away a couple of profitable hours on
Georgia avenue yesterday.
The melancholy moundsman hook

businesslike manner. There was no
air Of triumph about him as the
Grinmen tried futilely to start
something. 1t was almost as IL the
sad exhibition aggrieved him.
From nrst to last Sims allowed
a mere six hits. three of which

easier for him by a trio of fast
double plays. two of which were
engineered by First Baseman ].

Maeks Full of Pep.
There was nothing spiritless about
playing of the Mackmen, who
seeh to cherish hopes of better
hings. They exuded a world of pep
and jawed with the umpires on
every close decision.
