McGraw Speaks Well of Doak
Huggins is Back in Game

BOSTON, MASS. At least the Cards can be said to be playing with remarkable consistency. They hardly ever win a game now, and from the general form they have displayed during the past fortnight there are reasons for believing they will finish just a few degrees short of China.
Manager McGraw has been among the managers who have said pleasant things of Willie Doak, the youngster whom Huggins snaked out of the defunct Ohio League. Willie’s spitter is said to be great in promise. This is probably so, but Doak, as watched from Boston, has a bad habit of ascending toward the skies in the latter innings of the games.
He did that Friday. Doak looked very fair for five innings, and then in the sixth the Braves staged a frolic at his expense. Jake Geyer, the champion bench warmer of the 1913 Cards, was rushed to the scene as usual, when all that can be done to beat the Cards has been done, and during the time that Jakie served three more Braves charged the pan successfully.
