Taylor's first major league bingle
waS q terrific home run drive in
Boston, the longest righthand wal.
lop ever seen in Fenway Park.
The ball carried high into the dig
tant bleachers in right center. In
his three games as a Griffn1an,
Taylor has been to bat II times and
he has hit safely six times. He
has. scored five runs himself and
has driven in two. He has drawn
two passes and famed twice against
Walter BealI. On his third time
up against Beall he singled to cen.
ter, showing that he was learning
something about his opposing
pitcher.
Though playing center in Buffalo
and In his first game in Boston,
Taylor was shifted to right field
yesterday. Manager Harris pre-.
ferred to rely on the veteran. Sam
Rice, in that big middle garden at
the Yankee Stadium.
The champions returned from
their brief trip shortly after mid
night. They had played five
games in four days. dropping the
first two to, the Red SOx in B0s-
tom and the first Of yesterdays
double. header i'm New York. But
that second victory put the boys
In good hunlor and they tl.nbled
from their special car ut peace
with the world.
Curly ogden's capable pitching
exhibition In New York was most
gratifying to Manager Harris, who
has constantly maintained that the
Sheik of Swarthmore would eventu-
ally round into condition and de-
liver the real article. Curly did
that thing yesterday, following a
distressing exhibition against the
Red Sox In the Hub.
Ogden got away to a bad start

the opening frame on two passes

CALLED THE EDGE OF THE
WORLD

and there Killers children were at
the mercy Of Farmer Browns Boy.
Had Farmer Browns Boy had gun
with him. Killer and Mrs. Killer
would also have been at his mercy.
for love of the children brought
them nearer and nearer until they
were perched but few feet away
But Farmer Browns Boy had no
gun, for long ago he put his gun
away. Nor did he harm those baby
Duck Hawks. despite the fact that
they were being fed with his pigeans.
Instead he went home with the re-
solve that he would keep his pigeons
shut up until the nesting season Of
the Duck Hawks was over. He was
highly delighted, was Farmer Browns
Boy. for he knew he had seen what
comparatively few had seen, the home
of the winged freebooter of the air
the Duck Hawk. 1t had been q
wonderful experience-that climb to
the little rock shelf on the face of
the cliff, 'the edge Of the world"
as Farmer Browns Boy called it.
Ten days later he made the climb
again. and this time he found the
young hawks big enough to resent
his presence and to strike at him
when he reached over toward them.
Meanwhile he had learned a great
deal about the Duck Hawk. He knew
that it travelled great distances and
the thought came to him that he
would band these young before they
left the nest. Then if anything
should happen to one of them in
some far-distant place that band
might be returned and thus he would
be able to know where the young
bird Matched there on the Big Noun
tain had journeyed.
He waited just as long as he dared.
Then, with the bands in his pocket
he once more made the climb to
what he called the edge Of the
world" When he put his head
above the edge of the little shelf he
