Highlanders Play a Fast, Flawless Game Against White Sox and Ray Fisher Twirls in a Fashicn That Places Him at __ Head of Local Pitching Staff. ‘ . By Bozeman Bulger. | MR oor five gangs i've that played by the Yanks against the White Sor! &e an opener and they'll be packing the old Polo Grounds to the cunwa’ Tt was perhaps the only: game played in the Byurh stadium thin se:son in Which no flaw could be pointed out in base running, batting, fleiding or pitching. Just simply got up on their hind legs and play And, to tap it all off, the pastime was wound up and dellyared into the hands of friend fan in just ome hour and a half! This was due to the fact that there were few runners on tie base paths and consequently few wasted pitches, GLIPPING ONE ENCOMIUM TO HER. By his wonderful work againat the Sox Fisher has stepped to the front @s the premier twirler of the Yank staff. He did not use hi thal) as often a8 on previous occasions, but sandwiched In a curve ball that broke beautifully. He also resorted to speed at exactly the right time, and toward the finish the ‘way he called the turn on batters verged on the uncanny. In the past Fisher's Worst fault has been flelding, but the box ecore, which shows six clean assists M4 not an error, Would indicate a decided change for the better. ‘That a team can suddenly come to I nd change front on @ moment's Botice was proven when Birdie Cree ran the bases as if imbued with the spirit @f Ty Cobb. He tried ty stretch his clean-up three-bagger into a home run and, though h ewas nailed at the plate, it was the only play to make. There were two out at the time, and he stood more chance of scoring on the hit than of @ulling up at third and waiting for another. GETTING THE SOX MIXED, Bert Daniels |s really responsible for the rally that shot the legs from under Lefty Russell and started us on a winning way, After the team had batted @round twice by taking lunges at the ball and making no hits, Bert suddenly Gwjtched the dope and, catching Lord playing far back, dropped a bunt toward third that he beat with ease, Then followed Peckinpaugh'’s two-bagger and Cree's triple and the@re was out. CALLAHAN HOLDING OUT ON US. It may not be any of our business, but we would like to know thy Jimmy Callahan didn't give us @ peek at Larry Chappelle, the new * $18,000 wonder. Has it come to be that we are considered a one-night stand? Well, of course, the vrowd wasn't large, but Jimmy might have let us have just one peck at the big star to give us something to .orite about, if nothing else. ‘The Sox raised quite a Uttle holler when Dantels shot into the shins of Schalk @t tho plate in making the first run, but Schalk, knowing he was at fault, @amely stuck to his knitting and sald nothing. He was crouched down over the plate, completely covering it up, and there was no other way for Bert to get in. ‘THE HATCHET 18 OFFICIALLY BURIED. Gal Chase had a real pleasant evening as compared with the restless night he qpont here after firat joining the Sox. Instead of the catcalls and groans that greeted him on the former occasion, he was warmed up by genuine cheers @f welcome As usual with bali players, he acknowledged it by striking out. ¥CH SOLL SICH SORGEN. ‘The Giants and the Athletics are having a great battle for the high percentage honors.

By the way, what's hecome of that argument that the Giants can't hit on the Polo Grounds on account of the varl-colored signs of something? While here they averaged eleven hits to the game, and since hitting the road have had to @et along with an even five per pastime INTRODUCING A WORTHY YOUNG CARTOONIST.

The football rul arranged by the Rules Committee in this city © just been published, and they are practically the same obtained last fall, with the exception that the wording of some of the regulations is mate nore definite, The two most important changes tn the code are in regard to kicking and the substitution of players, Hereafter a player may kick from any distance behind the line of scrimmage, and not “at least five yards back,” as in 1912, Also playera may be allowed to re-enter the game at the opening of any period and at any time during the fourth and final Period.
