Of bail that he did against the Chit

over the Windy City rockies.
Orr figured in four double plays.

no crashed out three hits. one n
double, knocked in run. scored
another himself. stole a base and
played a perfect game in the field
making a couple OF sensational
plays.
He is playing the same caliber OF
ball this spring that he did the
last two weeks OF the season in
Seattle in 1924 when he was the
talk Of tho town.
Fred Blake pitched the entire
game for the Seattle club and while
he was wild. walking six men. he
had a world of stuff. using hook.

effect.
The Cubs picked up only two real
bingles nil afternoon. the rest being
Scotch hits. Hack Miller. former
Oakland slugger slapped one real
hit TO right field and Cotter rammed
another burner thru the infield. A
big Highlander named Osborne. a
submarine pitcher. hurled the game
for the Bruins and had n lot OF
stuff, too. He is considered one OF
the Cubs best mound bets.
The Redskins turned in double
killing in the first inning. with the
bags full. and In the seventh, eighth
and ninth they repeated the stunt.
Billy Lane made one OF his IN.
nous catches In deep left field that
saved the game from being tied up
in the first OF the ninth when he
went back among the goats and
picked Hartnett's drive out of tho
ozone with runner on first.
Seattle scored in the first inning
when the right fielder dropped
Lanes high fly to right field and
the rabbit scurrled around TO third
on it. Johnston lined fly to cen.
ter and Lano scored.
The Cubs tic dit up In the third
when Beck walked and Cotter
singled. Miller forced Cotter and
Beck went to third He scored
when Weis flied TO loft. After that
Blake held the enemy scoreloss.
Seattle went In the lead in the
fifth again when Orr singled with
two out, stole second and scored
