All the pitchers seemed 10 have

yesterday, this series Il most

At this stage Of the game there
ensued great battle Of wits be-
tween the New York pitcher and
the Senator'S manager and second

skill. He just would not come over
the center of the plate. and Harris
was also guarding the plate with
all kinds Of determination. Finally,
Nehf hooked one over the outside,

fans why Frank SyntIer, the
Giants regular catcher has failed
TO appear IN the New York line

Manager Mclsraw to pinch HE In

Is doubtful II Synder could have
improved upon the work of the
veteran Gowdy. Hank has caught
beautiful ball and hit wen Iii sri

the two managers win spend lots
of time and thought on who shall
start pitching today's game. 1t
looks as IL Harris will call upon
Mogridge ana unless McGraw Uses
Watson he win certainly cross me
