Wmzmmmmmmm kle and Pete Kniseley has difficulty in left The sun bothers the Pickleburg paster, but he is batting better than he ever did in his life. In no way does the present Boston team resembel the world's champion crew of last year? -It must have its alibi for every defeat and seems to have lost the ability to keep plug ging gamely when the odds are the wrong way. In the first few innings the Braves had several opportunities to score, but were throttled each time. And when the Cubs scored three in the sixth the frayed nerves of the champs seemed to give way. They kicked on a decision at the plate which was never in doubt There was absolute ly no- room for the complaint But the Braves needed their alibi. So they howled and Umpire Quigley rightly canned the bench warmers, leaving only a full team in the field. Before the game acting Cap't Schmidt of the Braves was asked to make a few put-outs for the benefit of a moving picture company which has been taking a series of pictures at the park. Schmidt intimated to the camera man that he'd have to hear the jingle of coin berore he could agitate his educated limbs. Evidently Schmidt has become en larged above the shoulders because he was in a world's series. And that criticism has been made of several of the Braves. Grover Alexander and Christy Mathewson both obliged this same camera man like the good sportsmen they are, and if Schmidt is ever as good a ballplayer as either of them he'll have to live a thousand years. Ed Walsh is the big noise in the White Sox camp now. The athletes had to quit after an inning against Washington, so spent their time fan ning about the Moose. Ed has been working out 'during the Washington series, for the weather there has been blistering, just what is needed for the veteran's arm. Mffl 90 the team wh9 worked wjth. Walsh when he was right declared his stuff when he warmed up Monday was as good as he ever showed in his life. The former speed was present and a curve was chucked in now and then to vary the monotony. Spit balling was not on the program, as Ed feared to take chances with his arm when it is just rounding into form. After today's game the Sox move on to Philadelphia, closing their in vasion of the east with four games against the Mackmen. Then they start homeward via Cleveland, where five games are to be staged. Fine prospects for Joe Tinker and his Whales. They now have five games to play in three days with Harry Lord's Buffalo people, rain causing a postponement yesterday. Joete pitching staff is not in the best of condition, even for ordinary de mands, and the prospect of two dou ble bills in three days doesn't fill him with joy. It probably means that Ad Brennan will be pressed into service and have a chance to show if his long rest has done him any good. Any man who can fling a baseball will be needed. Yankees cleaned series with thev Browns on Maisel's 'four hits, one a double. Cardinals passed Dodgers in pen nant race by hitting Dell hard. Sal lee was a puzzle. Butler and Bescher led attack.
