FISHER'S HOME RUN MAY
TURN THE TABLES
There Is hope for Bill Fisher yet-—especially If Hill makes a
few more wallops like the one yesterday and Kennedy boots a few
mors ground balls. On the first of June Shreeder must either
pungle up several hundred dollars or else buy Bill a return ticket to
the ballwick of one Happy Hogan of Vernon, Cal. Of course baseball
is a cold financial proposition, but Shreeder has announced that he
is going to have a ball team regardless of cost, and there Is no rea
son to take him any other way except at his word. In other, words,
the fact that Fisher will cost him several huadred dollars, and Ken
nedy nothing, will have nothing to do with Shreeder's decision as to
who will eventually guard tbe Initial station. •-. I

Bill Marvel at First
X Fisher is certainly a marvel at the first sack, and as the writer
j has often remarked to Shreeder, be would have Bill on the job it he
' never hit a lick on earth, unless someone was available who was a
, classy fielder and a good sticker as well. Kennedy plays the bag
well enough hut so far he has shown a nervousness with ground
; ball*. .If he cannot overcome this it will be fatal. A game can be
ossed off any old time by a bad peg or a wild heave over the first
sack, and a man who ls certain to turn these Into an out, Is a bul
wark of strength to any. team. Bill's flashy fielding is all well
J enough, but it is not his strong point by any means. The quickness
with which he gets the ball away for a double is his best asset, and
he is able to do this largely because he Is a southpaw. Another thing
about Bill is bis quicKneea with his feet in making an out on a close
' play. Decision *, afte rdeolsion have come Bill's way because he
touched the bag with his foot almost simultaneously with receiving
the throw when badly out of position to receive a bum peg. v
mt."-V- -.':'■ -..■' y y-•-' ■,•.-- i " *'.-;* •"*.• ft* ;'■ * '*' '
Dug May Get Bill or Ed
•^ ■ m
Kennedy is a fellow that put* a good deal of life into a team,
and ln this way be has it on Fisher. BUI Is a bard, conscientious
worker, but there are few players capable of displaying or .impart
ing the pepper of Kennedy. Both are popular with players and
fans. Kennedy has it on Bill In batting, although Ed hasn't been
setting the league afire lately. Also Kennedy Is the fastest man on
the team on a long distance sprint, and has It on Fisher in base
running. Some time ago it was cut and dried to give Ed the bag,
but Kennedy's bad showing with ground balls and Bill's home-run
yesterday may cause the Tiger bosses to change their minds—and it
may not. Dug Is still shy a (irst-sacker and it would not surprise the
local bugs if Mike left one or the other in the care of Jack Tighe
next Sunday.

TWO HOMERS IN
YESTERDAY'S
SESSION
Thanks to the nice steady pitch
ing of Blame Gordon, a couple of
nice homers by little Eddie Burns
and the rejuvenated 1)11 Fisher,
and a vigorous souse by Mike
Lynch, that netted the author one
bag and scored a run, the Tigers
put one more over on Dugdale'a
pigmy Giants yesterday, by the
score of 8 to E.
a It was a nice snappy game all
the way through: It went four
Innings without a score, and then
in the fifth, when Bill Pish and
Ed Burns gpt busy with the dim
inutive cracker box fence, the
Tigers put four over the plate.
The Giants came back next time
with two. In the first half of the
ninth the Tigers put two more
over and the.Giants came back
with three, but It was not enough.
