ernoon in the Athletic-Red Sox double-header.

Plank in two innings in the, after
piece. Brown and Joe Wood were
the. winning pitchers. . Terkes poled
twd triples and a double in the two
games. Capt Wagner of the Red
Sox rapped the longest homer ever
made in the Boston park.

because of being spiked in the knee
by Buck Weaver, will be back in the

Brooklyh got 12 hits off Demaree
arid scored once. The Giants got ten
hits, off Stack and Curtis and counted
half a dozen times. Shafer of the
Giants smashed a triple and two sin
gles. Mike Heckinger caught the last
three innings for Brooklyn, soaking
a single and stopping one Giant who
tried to steal..
Mordecai Brown can't win when
his team doesn't hit. The old Cub
star gave Pittsburgh nine hits,. but
two runs in the third inning were
made without a birigle, Dodge pulling
a pair of punk errors. Cincinnati got
but three, safeties off of Lefty Robin
son. McCarty of the Pirates got two
doubles.
Fifty hits were made in the double
header between the Braves and Phil
lies, ten pitchers earning some
money during the afternoon. Ten
doubles, one triple and five homers
were rung up, all the four-basers
coming in the first game. Catcher
Rariden of Boston soaked a homer
with the bases loaded, in the first
inning, during which eight runs were

, Another fist fight in the American
Association. Fight Fielder Flynn of
Indianapolis and Catcher Smith of
Columbus mixed at the plate in Co
lumbus, when Flynn ,used the catch
er's eye fpr a cuspidor. Both were
put out of the game and fought an
other couple of rounds under the
grandstand.,
George Sto'vati, manager and first
baseman of the St. Louis Browns,
may have to retire to the bench, for a
time, at least, unless there is, an im
provemerijt in his hands. The ten
dons oh the inside of his hands have
been drawing together for several
weeks, and it 4s difficult for him to
take throws or hold a bat. An oper
ation will be necessary to relieve the
drawing. Stovall has the Browns
going at a fast, clip at present, and his
batting is a big factor in their suc
cess,. Brief, bis substitute, is a strong
sticker, but weak, in fielding.
Pitcher George McQuillan, who has
won ten games and lost four for Co
lumbus, has been sold to the Pitts
burgh club, the Association team get
ting Pitcher Ferry and three other
players, in addition to some cash,
from the Pirates. McQuillan was .in
the big show with Philadelphia and
Cincinnati, but would riot keep in
condition.
This is some come-back year. First,
there was Fred Falkenberg, who re
turned from the American Associa
tion to the main top and started a
great winning streak.. He is still win
ning. Then Nick Altrock and Heinie
Peitz were rejuvenated, if only for
a short time.
Now McQuillan goes up again, and
other big league clubs are negotiat
ing for Cy Morgan, pitqhing for Kari-'
sas City and doing some job.
Morgan was chased by Connie
Mack because he would not keep in
shape to pitch. Now Mack is after
his cast-off. As soon as he was sent
to the bush Gy turned over a new leaf.
