"Smoky" Joe Wood's Home Run in Nineteenth Wins Game From the Yankeei Brilliant Tennis Is Displayed in Girls' Tourney Finals for Metropolitan Title for Doubles Will Be Played To-day .-pcctacular but long drawn out lawn tennis was exhibited by the girl en? trants in the junior metropolitan dou? bles championship tournament, which got under way at the West Side Tennis < ?ub, at Forest Hills. Long Island, yes? terday. The girls were asked to com? plete the first and semi-final round of play. V.xtra set matches and deuce games predominated. An interesting match is promised in thr> final tilt this morning between Mi<>os Helm Kice and Winifred Ayde? lotte and Misses Mary Jcssup and Ionise Kreuter. The work of Miss Kice -. ti Mi^s Aydolotte, the latter a Cali fornia girl, was the-most impressive. In the first round thd steadiness of Misses Rice and Aydelfltte was exceed? ingly prominent in eliminating Misses Hildegarde Ross and iTu?h Goldsmith, winners of the recent Horace Mann Sihool tourney, oy a score of 6-8, G 4, 6 ?". Miss Rice displayed a iro.ng overhead drive and good volley? ing, while Miss Aydelotte more than held her own in the play near the net. Misses Rice and Aydelotte played in*, invincible form in the semi-final round i in disposing of Misses Margaret, Morrey and Helen Jenkins in straight -.-ames of 6-1, 6?2. Misses Jcssup and Kreuter won their :';rst round victory only after three : sets, but ended matters in the semi final, after two sets with Misses E. Rissinan and Edith Ginler. The summary: Girl?

Coveleskie Pitches From Start to Finish of Thrilling Clash Stanley Coveleskie, the ancient and honorable jinx of the Yankees, estab? lished himself in a niche of the hall of baseball fame at the Polo Grounds yes? terday when he beat his favorite man nikins and a relay of pitchers by a score of 3 to 2 after nineteen thrilling innings. This was the record game of the sea? son for length if not for dispatch - and almost every instant of the tussle was fraught with incidents of the most stirring nature. A dozen times victory lay within the grasp of either side. A dozen times the rival pitchers thwart? ed rallies in the making. But Coveleskie won the game. Or did he? He will get credit in the years to come in the saga of the sport. He will go down in the next record books of John Buckingham Foster as having turned the trick. He deserves much , credit. No praise for him should he too stinted. And yet Coveleskie was not the Cleveland pitcher that really scored this sensational and signal tri? umph a triumph that toppled Mug? gins's fighting Yankees out of second place and elevated these visiting Cleve? land Indians to the distinction in their stead. A Cleveland pitcher other than Co? veleskie won out. we repeat. But that is scarcely truth. He was a pitcher (or tried to be) until recently, when he was assigned to regular duty in the outfield, partly because of his hitting ability. We refer to Joe Wood. Old Terror Revives And what a picture of terror that name conjures up from the bitter and almost forgotten past of 1912! This i was the same phantom of 1912 arisen from the past to taunt New York and snatch a merited laurel from her brow. The same Wood?the same Smoky Joe Wood?that stood John McGraw's proud Giant champions of 1912 on their heads in the world's championship series. Wood is now at the outfielding game. Cleveland ?^>S a master in Tris Speaker at that nnrticular art. But Smoky Joe yesterday stepped in where the great Tristam failed, and by the sheer might of his shoulders and quick perception of eye hammered out just the sum to- ? tal of runs needed to retrieve Coveles- ' kie's pitching masterpiece. What was Wood's contribution to this titantic struggle that ran through more than four hours of frenzied bat? tling? Nothing less than two home runs, the tirst of which kept the Indians in the fight past regulation time, and the second of which decided the issue in the nineteenth inning. Players be? fore had been known to make two home runs in a game. No player never took occasion to deliver one of them at a more spectacular moment than did this nightmare Wood of Red Sox fame. It was a poem of pitching perfection which Stanley Coveleskie. the right handed enigma of the Indians, reeled off round after round throughout thai spellbound affray. He arose to his best in emergencies, and there were many such. He pitched with a confidence thai baffled the heavy artillery of the Yan? kees. Twice the mighty Baker fell : down in the pinches. Bodie and Pipp I had their chances now and then. Bu? I Coveleskie was never afraid to gamble ? his personal skill against any batting I eye Yankees Pitch as Well The pitching for New York was scarcely less spectacular, and, indeed, had Allen Russell been left in he might have carried the Cleveland tribe quite as far as did George Mogridge, his suc? cessor. Russell pitched seven beautiful innings. Only one run was earned off him. That was Wood's first circuit smash far into the left field bleacher. Russell gave way to Ray Caldwell in New York's half of the seventh, though he might have fanned quite as grace? fully for the third out. George Mogridge, until the fatal nineteenth, was quite the equal of Cov? eleskie, as Allen Russell had been. Eleven innings Mogridge was hard as adamant and cold as ice. It appeared simply a question as to whether or not New York would be able to score. And then the avalanche. But we are getting ahead of our story. We are overlooking Wood's first home run, which came like a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky. Russell had pitched shut-out ball up to the time Wood faced him in the seventh, for Cleveland's first, run was a gift of Pipp. Wood was the first man up in the seventh inning. He swung at the first pitch and lined the ball like a rifle ' bullet far into the left field open bleacher. Now in your mind's eye picture all the succeeding innings with their vary? ing fortunes, their heartaches and en? couragements, and come to the first ! half of the nineteenth with darkness I fast closing down and the realization I that if New York can only hold Cleve | land just this once as good as a tie is assured. Homers Are Duplicates Mogridge, who had succeeded Rus? sell, gets the first batter. Up comes Wood, the same Wood whotaused con? sternation more than a full game back. He takes a mighty swing at the first offering of the southpaw as he swung at the first offering of the right? hander. He meets the ball the same i way. It travels with the same wicked i velocity in the very same direction and : lands in almost the same spot. But a ; home run far different from the first. ; This one decides the game. Is there ! not reason for New York to curse the ' name of Smoky Joe Wood? But for Walter Pipp's error the gamt= probably never would have gone beyond [ the ninth round, and Russell doubtless | would have conquered the Coveleskie , jinx in regulation time. Halt, first up for Cleveland in the third, singled. O'Neill hit wickedly toward Pipp, who made a clean pick-up. The trap was set for an easy double play. But Pipp threw wildly over Peck's head and no? body was retired. Halt took third on this error and scored on Coveleskie's out to Pipp, unassisted, that should have retired the side runless. It was a bitter duel of the romantic ! type from here to Cleveland's seventh.

Then the heartbreaking blow of Wood's j first homer as described. This mighty j swat gave the grim Cov?eskie a lead of two runs. It chilled the ardor of New York fandom. But it did not break the spirit of the Yanks. They had failed rather dismally on one or two occasions up to this time, and when the first two batters of the lucky number were retired the fans de- ? cided it was about time to go home. But Ping Bodie nailed them to their seats with a home run drive into the ' right field stands. Miller followed '. with a single and Truck Hannah was j purposely passed. Al Walters was sent in to run for Hannah. Huggins here j removed the right-handed Russell and unlimbered Caldwell, his left-handed ! slugger of pinch hit fame. Slim, with i a chance to tie the game or win, failed on this occasion, as all good batsmen do now and then. He ?truck out in- I gloriously. Hope filtered when the eighth brought no change in the Yankees' fortunes. Pipp set the issue squarely back where it was at the start with a triple to open the ninth. He tallied the tieing run on Bodie's sacrifice fly. From the tenth through to the end j of the nineteenth Coveleskie nllowed ! only six scattered hits, yet the Yankees ! had a couple of pretty good chances. ! With one gone in the thirteenth Peck- ? inpaugh singled to left. Baker lined i wickedly to Roth, but Pratt singled to right, sending Peck to third and him? self taking second on the throw. Pipp ? was purposely passed, filling the bases. But Dodie was unable to repeat his contempt of Coveleskie for he fouled to E. J. Mil^r. Thrilling Play in Seventeenth Joe Woed's two home runs to the contrary notwithstanding, the most | thrilling incident of the whole game i was wrapped up in one plav that oc- ? curred in Cleveland's half of the sev? enteenth With two out in this inning, O'Neill | singled to left. Coveleskie attempted ! valiantly to win his own game. He drove a double to deep left, on which ! O'Neill attempted to score. It cer- ! tainly did look like the end. But j Bodie retrieved fast, made a perfect. ? peg to Peckinpaugh, who in torn, with- ! out losing an instant's time, lined the ! ball home. The ball from the moment it left Bodie's hand never faltered in its true flight to Walters' waiting mitt, and little Al got it just in time. lie I nipped O'Neill by inches culy.

LOUIS, May 24.?St. Louis finally managed to break its losing streak this afternoon by hopping on a cripple almost as decrepit as itself. The Cardinals nosed the Dodgers out of a twelve-Inning tussle by a scoro of 2 to 1. This was a battle of titans (In spite of the fact that the contestants do not figure prominently in the National League race), for class in sport is an elastic thing. Two bad teams often put up as thrilling an engagement as two champions. Such was tho case to? day. The game was a duel of southpaws in which both Rube Marquard and Gene Packard distinguished them? selves. Packard allowed but seven and Marquard only eight hits. Each sido scored in the sixth, after five scoreless rounds. Five more scoreless periods followed. In the second half of the twelfth Gonzales singled with one out. Pack? ard's infield out sent him to second. Smyth followed with a single that gave the winning run. The score: BROOKLYN (N. I?) . ST. LOUIS (N.

Meantime our President, who golfs, and once rode a bicycle, as an evidence of latent sporting talent, attends a ball game and throws out the first ball. Bulletins have thus far failed to indicate how close the Presi? dent came to his mark, but we understand he is a marked improve? ment over the average Governor or United States Senator. The fact that the President attended the game is reassuring. That he threw out the first ball is more so. It would seem to prove that the man who carries upon his shoulders more responsibility than any other living person in the Western Hemisphere finds relaxation in professional baseball. We are certain others do. It might be construed as significant that President Wilson took Mrs. Wilson to a ball game on the day following Provost Marshal General Crowder's announce? ment. Men versed in the "inside stuff" of our capital can speak with greater authority en that. Gairy Herrmann has a habit of saying something now and then when he is speaking. When he pointed out yesterday that the war tax on the national game probably was of more economic value to the United States than the unskilled labor of the less than 400 big leaguers who would be affected by the literal interpretation of the Crowder pronunciamento he established a point that was both inter? esting and relevant. The Psychological Effect IT IS fair to assume that if no exceptions for baseball players are forthcoming it will impress upon many drifters the earnest? ness of the amendment to the selective sei vice regulations. Conse? quently the flourish and feathers of publicity that followed the Wash? ington statement will not be without?yes, here it is again?its psychological effect. A great thing, psychology; to it may be at? tributed a multitude of dialectic paragraphs. If you were undecided whether you were a non-useful citizen, from a Washington viewpoint, and you learned suddenly that base? ball players were held there, or thereabouts, it is presumably possible that it would open your eyes concerning your own constitutional status. It might even drive one to work. A hat checker and the wash? room boy might decide to kiss themselves -right into a shipyard, where, through force of habit, they probably would try to operate, the same concessions. Yet we can think up more remunerative and thankful jobs than checking hats in a shipyard. No; the idea is that a great number of non-productive people will now have a chance to do some tall thinking. When they see the petted and pampered ball player, who has the gifts of the gods thrown into his lap and promptly exchanges them for city apartments, Mid? dle Western farmland and other reckless investments, threatened with coarse manual labor they unconsciously breathe to themselves: "Just whei-e do I get off?" And that is precisely what the government wants them to do. Medicine to the Mind PERSONALLY we offered 10 to 1 Thursday night that the two ?^ major leagues would'not be stopped. That is what we think President Wilson and other important statesmen think of the 1918 value of big league baseball as a medicine to the mind. Nobody wanted to invest. The first case that comes before the provost marshal, unless something happens meantime, will be the trial that will decide the fate of major league baseball. It is reasonable to suppose that base? ball will prepare for it as such. If any public amusement enterprise is to remain we can think of none that can offer the substantial argu? ments for continued life that baseball can. Boxing Carnival Nets $52,225 for Red Cross Seat Sales at Madison Square Garden Amount to $30,000? Kaiser's Cup Is Auctioned Repeatedly, Totaling $22,225?Bouts Held to Six Rounds By Fred Hawthorne All the seats bat a few of the main-floor boxes were filled at Madi? son Square Garden last night when the big Red Cross boxing carnival got under full headway. Charlie Harvey, one of the managers, crowded into the box office at 9:45 p. m. and pulled the door in after him. uuing io count, me gross, saiirs Charles "Brush," rolling his sleeves, i Total scat sales were reported to be ? $30,000. Auction sales of the Kaiser's trophy c.ip added $22,225. It was announced when the bouts be? gan that the distance would be cut to six rounds in order to save some of the ; night for sleeping purposes. All the sporting writers adjusted ? their neckties and primped up when ! Mrs. George A. Whcelock, chief yeoman, ; arrived and took a working press seat, j i Hype Igoe fell off his chair, but recov- | ered quickly, and was writing hard as soon as his head cleared. Commander Newton Mansfield, head ! of the recruiting service for the navy, was another in the first line trench. ' Ed Terp, the famous East Twentieth Street landlord, entered a ringside box with a rustle of silk. Ho was escorted by half a dozen "broad and narrow" silk merchants from his district. Ed's shirt was fresh boiled from the laundry. It looked lovely. Paul Doyle Too Shifty Paul Doyle and Harry Pierce began to mix it up for the Red Cross; Jimmy Deforest, referee. Doyle was a bit too shifty on his feet for the veteran Harry, but the latter was full of battle and Doyle had only a shade at the end. Tex Kelly, from Camp Upton now, and Augie Ratner, middleweights, started their six-round fuss right after this, with Billy Moore to act as chap? eron. This was the first bout of the evening that did not look like a real fight, and the birds perched in the gal? lery were soon chirping their displeas? ure. In the first place, the rounds were cut to two minutes, and Ratner was plainly "pulling" his punches after he had Tex rocky. There were no regrets when the men left the ring. Levinsky Shades Coffey The house let out a roar when Jim Coffey, the Roscommon giant and now a sergeant at arms in the Naval Re? serve, stepped into the ring to fight Battling Levinsky, and fight Jim did. Shamus was a bit dim as to waist line, but his battling spirit was trained to the minute, and in the last two rounds he came strong as a bull, and twice almost knocked Bat to his knees. But Levinsky earned the shade by his aggressive tactics in the first four ses? sions. The boys meant mischief every time they let a wallop go. William Fox, captain of the Allied Theatrical and Motion Picture team, under whose management the carnival i was held, bought a Ripley cartoon for ; $500. Money continued to pile into the i fund from many sources. The famous ?gold cup presented to Wilson Marshall, ? the yachtsman, in 1905, by the Kaiser, was brought into the ring and auc? tioned off repeatedly. Richard Doggett paid $5,000 and donated it for sale again. Joe Marrone bid $4,500 on the second offer, and after that John Wal? ters chipped in 4,500, and a dozen times the cup was put up and resold. It was announced that the cup, when finally sold, will be melted into bullion to buy oullets to kill the Kaiser and his sol? diers, which caused great applause. Crowd Gathers Early There were several thousand persons in the Garden as early as 6:30 o'clock, when the brass band from the U. S. S. Recruit began to spray music over the heads of the crowd. Mme. Kadorin, wife of an Italian army officer, sang several operatic selections just to get the boys on their toes, and then Peter Prunty climbed into the ring and an? nounced the first bout would be be? tween Eddie Glover and Richie Ryan, lightweights, both enlisted men of the 326th Motor Truck Company at Camp Upton. Lieutenant Langdon Mitchell was the referee. The boys went four rounds, and few battles of that limit in the ring have been more filled with red blood and fight. In the first session Glover grot over a sizzling right cross to the jaw. ?Ryan went down flat on his back for what looked like a "12" count, but after getting to his feet Richie cov? ered until his head cleared, and then tore back for more. It was a redhot comeback and the crowd roared for Ryan. The boys nevet let up during the rest of the battle, and in the third both went down at once from rights to the jaw. Lieuten? ant Mitchell called it a draw. Benny Valgar and Battling Reddy, bantams, were the next pair in a six round affair, with Patsy Haley as the genial referee. Valgar shot home fast left jabs to Reddy's face with the speed of a Browning gun going into ac? tion. The Battler survived the batter? ing, but his "morale" was a bit mussed up, though unshaken, when the final bell rang. Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, the near? est thing we have to an official middle? weight champion, and now a seaman in the navy, entered the ring with Gunboat Smith. Harry and the Gun? ner were envied by all the other fight? ers because they were introduced by Mrs. Wheelock from the ring. Kid McPartland, referee. At 11:10 o'clock Charlie Harvey ran around the press stand and confided that the sale of seats totalled about $30,000. This, with collections and the sale of the Wilson Cup, raised the total to $52,225. Greb and Smith put up one of the best bouts of the night, with the boundip^r, bouncing Greb doing all the forcing as?l earning the honors. Lew Tendier had the better of Bar? ney Adair in the next bout, although Barney held his own fairly well until Tendier accidentally hit him low in the fourth round, slowing him up, Jim Buckley was the referee. 12:01 a. m., Saturday. The fighting continued heavy all along the Madison ; Square front. Reds Win From Phillies On Wild Pitch in Eleventh CINCINNATI, May 24.?A wild pitch by Watson allowed Griffith to score the winning run from second base in the last half of the eleventh inning to-day. Cincinnati scored a run off Prender gast in the first inning on Magee's single and steal and a hit by Chase. Philadelphia tied it in the seventh when Burns singled, and Williams, who ran for him, stole second and went all the way home on Wingo's wild throw, which was fumbled by Rousch.

' West Point Baseball Stars To Play Fordham To-day WEST POINT, N. Y., May 24.?The Army baseball team will meet Fordham on the diamond here to-morrow. The contest is being considered as the Army's "Navy" game, now that all hope of playing the middies has van? ished.
