Defeat Easy The Annex played rings around the Tribunes at the Belden street grounds winning out by the one-sided score of 10 to 2. The East end boys had their batting eve with them Sunday for the hit Chalmers hard. Blanchard pitched his usual good game and ex- “tept for the third inning the Tri- bunes were helpless before him. Three fast double plays featured the game and helped to brighten a slow gam-. The Annex grabbed 3 runs in the opening inning when two doubles oy Cabellus and Holleran, Begley's single and two errors netted three runs. The Tribunes threw a scare into * the Annex camp when in the third inning they bunched two singles with two errors and a‘wild pitch and scored, Berry muffed 'a long fly. ‘'nre¢ more ruas were pushed across the pan in the fifth due to er- ratic work by the Tribunes infield, a lone single mixed with three costly erros netted three runs. The Annex battery men proved to be the big hitters of the day. Holler- » an and Blanchard each getting three clean hits. Annex, ab. r. h. po. a. o, i i 25 Gl | A.

To Appian, Easiest ana Milky it adds Pic, Dave Robertson is fast working his way up to stardom, or was when he was hurt in Cincinnati, but Dave hasn’t learncd yet where to play for all the different batters. So now and then he sings out to Doyle: “Place me, Cap, place me!” Markle, the Waco pitcher landed by the Yankecs, is, according ‘o re- port, “only 23 years old,” but why the “only?” That isn't a particularly youthful age for a Lall player. As to who is the best catcher in baseball, that is the hardest position on a team to judge. Headwork in handling pitch one of the chiel points of valuc in a catcher, and it is one which docsn't show in the aver- ages nor appear to the anked eye. Ty Cobb may be the groutest batter in the whole world, : ated, but there’s so much of the whole world where baseball is unknown that s a manner of describing Ty's greatness is like saying that a Venetian gondol- ier is the greatest Grand Canal boat- | man in the whole world.

Success is the only merit we recog- nize. Our team is great when it it loses. Our perspective, our viewpoint, is in- fluenced by nothing else, and so is all wrong. Something lost sight of is that the race, not the pennant, is the main object of fighting. Some day he may learn to put the game above the prize and. this goes for every other sport as much as for baseball, which is the best game of all and containing quite as much sportsmanship. The yells of spectators are a two edged sword. They can tip off the v iting as well as the home players. In Pittsburg the other day Wagner was making a sneak to third. The yells of the crowd put Fletcher wise. For the Pirates the Giants have a fellow feeling.
