PLANT DISPLAYS
SPEED IN GAMES
OF BROOKLYN A.A.
Long Island Runner Wins
from Bell in Two-Mile
Special Race.
Ry A. T. CAVAfrNARO.
Rhowing a decided Improvement in
hia running, Jame* W. Plant, of the
Long Island Athletic. Club, holder of
the one-mile junior Metropolitan Asso
clatlon championship, easily captured
the two-mile ?pecial event at the mem?
bers' games of the Brooklyn Athlatic
Association held on the trottir.g track
of the Parkway Driving Club, Brooklyn,
yesterday.
John D. Bell, now representing the
New York Athletic Club, and a former
Long Island A. C. athlete, gave Plant
a hard tight for the honorfl. Up to
the last quarter mile. the pair
alternated in tha lead. When the te*t
came, Bell was unable to meet the
sprinting challenge of his rival, who
showed considerable reserre speed,
winning by forty yards. Bell held on
to second place, defeating Aaron
Morris, of the St- Christopher Athletic
Club, by ten yards.
Plant ha* changed his nanning style,
and the results were in evidence when
the off.cials announced his time as 9:58.
This is said to be the fastest time
Plant has ever made for the distance.
It was twenty-eight seconda better than
he did in winning the same race last
year.
Liberal handieaps caused the down
fall of William Plant, a brother of
James, in the one-mile handieap walk.
Although covering the course on tha
dirt track in the fast time of 7:04 4-5,
Bill had to be content with third
honor*. Kurt Zulch, unattached, who
has been winning frequently of late,
made good use of his 15 second allow?
ance to win by tifteen yards. J. L.
Aronson, the Pastime Club walker, was
second.
Mike Devanney, the Millrose Athletic
Association athlete, flashed a strong
rinishing sprint in winning the half
mile invitation contest. He hung be?
hind the pacemakers until the last 150
vards, when stretching hi* long leg* a
"little further apart, he da*hed away,
winning by eight yards. George Kim
ball, the Long Island middle distance
runner made a game tight to hold the
lead until passed by Devanney.
The elosed events offered some inter
esting competition, despite the rather
liberal handieap*. In the two-mile
event, Eddie Mayo, the club champion,
granted allowance* up to 435 yards, but
wa* unable to overcome them. He
nnished third, some forty yards behind
Ben Finkelstein and .loe Sherman.
A promising runner was unearthed in
Charles Bloomj-arten, a novice. Virt
aal BCTateh raaa ia the furlong daah,
? '.* vards, hfl sprar.g a surprise,
winning ifl 29 8-6 accaadfl. He fol?
lowed this victory by taking the 8
pound shot, handieap, with an actual
put of 43 feet 2 in.-hev CaflBflf Sha
pira wu-i another double winner, de?
feating his tields lll the 75-vard da?h
and the running high 'afltp.

Rucker Falters
With the Pennant
Just in Sight
Southpaw's Arm Wcakens After
Long Years of Valiant Ser
vlce with Losing Team.
By FRANK (VNEILL.
Far back in baseball history the
Brooklyn Robins won the pennant in
the National League. The American
League was in ita infancy at that time,
and the world's series as we now know
it was unheard of. Since then Charles
H. Ebbets has been watching and wait?
ing for the day when the Robins would
apain win the pennant, and with it the
gold and glory of a world's series. He
prepared for the day, and among the
great players he secured for his club
Is George Rucker, the famous Nap, of
Georgia.
Since 1907 the AlpharetU southpaw
has labored with the Robins, always
giving of his best, and winning fame
as one of the greatest portside pitch?
ers in the history of baseball. Not
even the fact that a losing team kept
him from piling up an impressive aver?
age eould blind the fana to Rucker's
steriing worth.
Now the Robins are blaring the trail
in the dash for the National League
pennant. It wouid seem that the mo?
ment for which Rucker had waited so j
long was at hand, but, alas! muscular
trouble in his once mighty shoulder
overtook him and blasted his power.
His fast ball, that was once "high, wide
and handsome," to borrow from Buck
Wheat, is no longer, and the curre,
still cunning. has little speed behind it.
Tharo is the chance, of course, that
Wilbert Robinson might ?end the
Georgian into a world's series game;
and were the destinies of a game placed
in hrs hand? Nap eould be depended;
upon to give all in his power.
Rucker's slow ball is the wonder of!
the National I/eague. and in all his
game- thus far the southpaw has come,
of with colors flying. Indeed, he might
he the one to baffle men so used to
feeding on speed as the American
League hitttM are.
*
CAPDINALS WIN, THEN
LOSE TO PIRATES
St, [_?__., Aug. 13- St Louis manled
three Pittsburgh pitchers for 23 hits
in the first game to-day, winning in
eleven innings, 9 to 8. The second
K_me was called on account of dark
neaa at the end of tive innings, Pitts?
burgh winning. 9 to 6.
Bescher*s double in the eleventh
scored Smith, who had walked, with
the winning run of the first game.
After Pittsburgh had pounded Wat
sori for eight runs the second game re
Bolvod itself into a hoax, catcher, on
both Jde? allowing players to run the;
bases wildly in an effort to get I'm- '
pire Quigley to call the game.
