a perfect throw to the plate. As soon as the ball flew into Carey's mitts Zim dashed for home. Carey's peg to Coleman was high and the Bronx beauty" slid in safely. The four top men in' the Cub bat ting order produced again yesterday, compiling seven hits, Leach getting one and Evers, Schulte and Zim two each. Cheney and Saier got the other two safeties registered during the afternoon. This consecutive hitting is encouraging..-In the past the lead off men could not get going together. "When one was right the others were popping weak flies. In the two games against the Pirates the mauling of the first quartet has resembled the dizzy rallies pulled by the Athletics. Vic Saier is being overlooked by the fans because he is so good. That may sound peculiar, but it is true. Hardly a game passes but Vic makes a classy stop and the fans have grown to expect his circus stunts as a matter of course. Saieis strong point is digging low throws out of the dirt and he saves many errors "by ability in this. Notice how Al Brid well cuts loose with a throw when in an awkward position. Brid is con fident that Vic will do his duty at the terminal end of the throw and thin faith in responsible for cutting off many hits. Saier is a steady player and a good one. In this respect he resembles Jack Barry of the Mack men, who is seldom mentioned as a star of the Athletic infield, playing with such men as Collins, Baker and Mclnniss, but Barry is one of the best shortstops in the league. He makes the hard chances look easy because of his great ability. It is the same in Saier"s case. As we predicted yesterday, Louis ville got a Cub pitcher. Fred Toney was the heaver sent back to the minors. The only place we were wrong was in the throwing arm of the man to go. Toney came here from Louisville, but was too wild for regular duty in the majors. Yesterday's victory for the White Sox over Detroit was typical of the old Fielder Jones machine, which won games without hitting. Cal's crew got five hits to nine for the Tigers, but the Hose blows were bunched with Tiger errors, and the Chicagoans were alive on the bases. In one inning Morris Rath swiped second and third, getting himself in position to score on a soak by Harry Lord. The same Lord-Chase ' combina tion which has done such execution lately was responsible for yesterday's win. Harry poled two doubles, one being on the tail-end of a rally, and the second time heading the uprising that scored the winning run. Chase mauled a single and double. Beall was once more in the lime light with a single which played a large part in the first Sox rally. In the field he handled everything that came his way, and shone at return ing hits from the center patch. Eddie Cicotte would have gone the entire route against the Tigers, but gave way to Scott when Easterly acted as pinch hitter in the seventh inning. The two Tiger runs were scored off Scott. If TtTTKR Johnson, the Racine pitcher who has joined the Sox. is up to the form he showed in the closing stages of last season, Callahan will have another good pitcher added to his string. Sickness prevented the Wis consin lad making the spring trip to the coast, but he has now recovered, and believes he is as strong as ever. Johnson made his reputation in one game last year when he pitched against Walter of the same name after Washington had taken a lead against the Sox. For six innings the Sox Johnson battled the National Johnson, and there" was a shade in favor of the person wearing the pal' . hosiery. After that he was allowed to finish a few games, and on each occasion showed encouraging Sorm. "RIHs will not get a regular chance for some time, but may be allowed to gradually round to by finishing a
