Miller Muggins also sprang some new
ones ou the folks. He substituted Vick
for Gielch in right field and decided to
use ii left-bunder for pitching pur-
508CH. Either George Mngridge or Herb
hormuhleu will sling southpaw slants
with Muddy Buel behind the platter.
The rest of the line-up is the same us
yesterday.
Babe Buth was very much peeved this
morning because some one swiped his
brown derby. He left it on the bench
during the game nnd when he looked
for it after tho ninth inning it had
been purloined. Perhaps n brother
uthlcte elected himself to the order
nnd decided to wear the badge. Bobby
Meusel des orves it because of his bum
work on Calloway's fly in the seventh
inning.
Manager Huggins lins nbout given up
