Smith counted on two walks and a two bagger by F. Mir- igliani. This ended scoring for the losing team. Smith continued on getting one in the third, another in the fourth and two more in the sixth, giving them eight and the game, After this there was no more scoring and Burritts never threaten- ed to tie the score. Dobkowski's work in nipping run- ners off the bags helped his team greatly in its victory. F. Mirigliani's stickwork with three out of four was the deciding factor in Smith getting its runs. Villa and Argosy shone in the field for the winners., Markavicth was the heavy sticker for the Burritt team while Malain and Bagagowski both played a whale of a game in the field.

Of the first nine pitchers to win 10 or more games in the American league, the race for superiority was mighty close, there being five right- handers against four portsiders. In the National league, the first five pitchers to reach the 10 or bet- ter mark in games won, were all right-handers. Jess Petty of Brooklyn with nine wins was closest to the mark, while Eppa Rixey of Cincinnati with eight victories against two defeats, has by far the best record. Yanks Southpawed to Peath Perhaps no club in either league has been southpawed as much as the New York Yankees.
