Pat JMoran Makes Some
Succinct and Pertinent
Remarks About Errors
rinrlnnntl, May :S "After all" ald
Pat Jloran. grimly, "errors don't nlwajt
ioso ball cam's. If they did I shuddft
to think where this ball club would be
this evening." The flelclintr of the visit
ors in the final came was somthtnir hor
rible; hut the errors, as luck would
have It. caused little tiouble.
The Red? ko Pat Moran believes, have
the heft batting team in the wlinle
league, the fastest infield and the best
exound-coMrlng outfield. But all these
things are largely ruined by the glaring
weakness of the club on double steals in
two ways it is impossible for the fled?
to stop a double ieal and rquallv Im
possible for them to make one When
they try to steal tliey go about It In a
vague hesitating fashion and are

on the floor.
When they try to preent
ior oovioie purer inev let both runners
get an enormous lead and the man who
is coming home slides In before the bull
can be brought down upon him That
fatal weakness has retarded the progress
of thin otherwise powerful club for sev
eral seasons and they are just as bad
now as In the beginning.
Stork in Form
Heinle Groh now has the reputation
of being the king of all basemen, and
everybody Is looking at him when there
are plays around third station. Milton
Slock, hardly noticed by the people, gave
Heinle strenuous competition in this
series. During the four games Groh had
only one put-out, seven assists and one
error. Stock, meanwhile, collected five
put-outs, eight assists and no errors, and i
some ct his Hops and throws were as
sensational as those that Heinle fur
nishes po often. Ptock played the best
third base shown bv any of the seven
teams that have visited Itedland Field

Tincup Warlike
Ben Tincup, the valiant Cherokee, who
goes to war very soon, has been sporting
his uniform round the streets of Cincin
nati. He looks proud and warlike In his
soldier togs, although the small boys
asked him frequently why he didn't
wear some red paint and a feather.
Luderus doesn't often muff them right
In his hands, but he spilled a nice throw
from Bancroft In the first Inning. Deri

JlcGafflgan. a shortstop by profession,
has not wholly mastered the art of play
ing second base. He etumbles and fum

and should master the tricks of second
basing If he keeps at it a little while.

It was a fast tight all the way Two
of the best left hands In the game were
working and thej labored industriously
all the time. Morgan's snappy left and
Dundee's shooting southpaw wing were
beauties and went to their mark speedily
and effectively. Dundee was by far the
better ring general, repeatedly out
maneuvered his foe and sent his blows
home, in such a way that they did all
kinds of damage
In the concluding sessions Dundee

. The most pleasing feature
of yester-
day'p combat was the terrific thumping
of Larry Gardner The star third base
man se?ms to have regained his batting
eye and went through tho game with
an average of 1000.
He appeared at the plate four times,
and this Is what happened:

Larry has been hitting In hard luck
this season, and his batting average has
been hovering around the .C00 maik He
always clouted the ball, but straight Into
the hands of some waiting fielder. That
was enough to discourage-an ordinary
guy. but Gardner la not ordinary Far
be It from that He kept on trying, and
at last hit his stride

three fields, and when he soaks the ball
there ts romethlng behind It. Yesterday
two of his hits went to center and the
third to left. They would write a couple
of columns about that In New York.
"Gardner Is one of the best third base
men I ever have seen." said Monte Cross
before the game "He knows how to
field every ball and. if you have noticed,
never makes a bad throw. He gets the
hall away like Lee Tannehlll. who used
to play with the White Sox. and Lee
was the best In the business Larry Is
a wonderful player and seems to be get
ting better every day "
Some Dope on Rube Warltlcll
"I would like lo know," writes r A.
Carter, "if Rube Waddell ever called In
the- outfield during any game be pitched
while working for Connie. Mack, and
then struck out three batters In order."
Rube did that verv thing twice while
playing with the Athletics, but never In
a regular league game. In an exhibition
game In Paterson he called In the out
field and infield In the, last Inning and
with only himself and Ossie Schreck on
the field fanned three batters on, nine
pitched balls. He did the same thflig In
Steelton and got away with it
"1 remember that Faterson game very
well." said Monte Cross, who was lis
tening while Connie gave out the dope.
"In the eighth inning Rube turned to the
Infield and outfield and said. 'Hey. you
gu.vs are not needed and you can take a
rest. Sit down and watch me work on
this gang '
"We sat down In our positions and
watched Rube strike out two men The
third, however, hit a pop flv- which I
could have caught by moving over a
couple of feet, but I let It go. So did
tvery one else. Including, Waddell. and
the batter was credited with a homo
run because no one would pick up the
ball.
Q
"1 remember one day In 1?02. when
we were plajlng Detroit," continued
Monte, "when Rube wanted to call In
the outfield, but according to American
League rules it couldn't be done The
rules state that nine men must be on the
field, so the outfielders played Infield
positions and watched Waddell strike
out three men "
