now that the Mackmen liavo their eye
on tho ball.
Tn, yestciday's gamo with tho Cubs
hard hitting- again was the feature. As
was the caso Thursday, Schang led with
tho stick; yesterday ho hod four hits
out of Ave times up.
Kopf played In Jack Barry's position,
and he made two singles and a sacrlflco
hit. McAvoy, who was behind tho bat,
contributed a pair of one-base Knocks
and a sacrifice fly which duplicated tho
atlck work of Mclnnls.
On hi? single In tho first Inning, Schang,
by a great burst of speed, ran nil the
way homo when ..Williams let tho ball
set away from him. Eddlo Murphy set
G. good example to his teammates In the
first Inning, when he cracked a liner far
over McLarry's head. Before tho ball
could bo returned to tho plate he had
registered a home run.
Vaughn, who shut out tho Phillies with
out a hit at Tampa In Ave innings last
Tuesday, did not have anything today
that could "fool the Athletics. In five in
nings tho White Elephants hammered the
lefthander's delivery for IS safeties, and
"BlgVJIm" also contributed a base on
bdlls.Lavender held the Athletics to two
hits In four sessions.
The best part of the gamo from nn Ath
letic standpoint was the showing of My
ers. This big righthander went on the
rubber In the sixth inning, nftcr Bressler
had held the enemy down to four hits In
five sessions. Myers gave six bases on
balls and made two wild pitches In the
first threo out of four Innings that he wab
on tho mound, but when ho got the ball
near tho plato the Cubs were unable to
touch tho horsehlde to any extent.
Eighteen runs and 17 hits against Ira

Miss Molla Bjurstedt Performs
Unusual Feat in American
Event.
Norway's lawn tennis champion, Miss
Molla Bjurstedt, captured the American
national indoor championship In the sin
gles yeBtcrday In tho flnnl of tho annual
tournament on tho courts of tho Seventh
Heglment Armory, Now York city. In
tho great and hotly contested final the
hard-hitting; girl from Norwny defeated
Miss Mario Wagner, the playing through
holder of tho laurels', In straight sets, by
tho score of C-4, 6-4. Tho match was so
closely fought as to make'' the margin
very slight, as the respective point totals
at tho end stood at Gl for the winner to
54 for tho loser.
The singles match. In which Miss Bjur
stedt began tho service, nt once developed
Into a series of spirited driving rallies.
Tho Norwegian was easily the steadier,
nnd always tho aggressor. She hit with
wonderful power. While her backhand
strokes wero not dependable, the forcing
play of the girl from Norway waa always
equal to tho task of compelling the de
'endlng champion to play the way nhe
wanted her to.
