Yankees Lose First Place in Close Twelve-Inning Game With the Browns
Failure of 'Squeeze*
Blow to Huggins s Men
Bad Break Comes in Tenth of Twelve-Inn in g Struggle?
Slim Love Ordered Out of Game?Contest Hard?
est Fought of Many Months
ST. LOUIS, June 9.?A squeeze play failed this afternoon in the
tenth inning of a hard-fought battle between the Yankees and the St. Louis
Browns, with Pipp on third base and M?rsans at the plate. Had it gone
through the Yanks would have made it five straight over the Jones crowd
and held their position at the head of the American League race.
It was the last real chance the*
Yankees had, and the verdict went
against them, 5 to 4, in the Browns'
half of the twelfth. On this defeat the
Huggins crowd bounded back into sec
en.i place.
The failure of the Yankees to score
in the tenth was but a sample of what
was happening lime and again through?
out the hottest game of the series on j
One of the hottest days of the year at
Sportsman's Park. Filling up the bases ;
to go out runless fell to both clubs, the :
Browns making a dismal failure in
their ninth, when they crowded the j
sacks with nobody out on Austin's
doable, a scratch hit by Sisler and a ;
pass to Hendnx. This big opportunity
slipped away because neither Demmitt
nor Gedeon could hit out of the infield,
the latter bounding to Mogridgc for a
(iouble play.
Slim Love Gets Gate
The odd sight of Slim Love having
himself ordere? out of a ball game en?
livened the affair in the fourth chap?
ter. Slim had Catcher Hale in a hole
with two strikes against him and was
positive that he had sneaked over a
liitrd strike. Umpire George Moriarty
called it a third ball, and Love, who
had been kicking about decisions in the
earlier innings, promptly wound up and
threw his glove almo.st out to Ping
Bodie, in left field. Moriarty threw
Love out of the game without taking I
any wind up. Mogridge was ready to |
take his place on the mound, as he had .
been warming up in the bull pen.
Bert Gallia held the Yanks under his!
thumb in the early innings, but in the
late chapters Huggins's heavy hitters j
got to him and chased him to the club
house. He faded in the eighth after
live batsmen had made three hard hits,
a sacrifice fly and had drawn a pass.
Shocker came on after his departure
and gets the credit of the victory over
his old team. Joe Gedeon had the dis?
tinction of carrying over the winning
marker to the twelfth.
The Browns went to the front with
two runs in the first inning, and a poor
throw by Hannah, who also made the
winning run possible with a poor peg,
helped in the early scoring. Tobin out?
ran a slow roller to Pratt, and Hannah,
after fielding Austin's bunt, threw the
ball over Fipp's head, allowing Tobin
to score and Austin to reach third.
Ilendrix chased Austin home with a
double to left after Sisler had been re?
tired.
The Yankees collected their first run
in the second inning, when Pipp hit
over the bleacher rail in right field, the
ball landing some distance up among
the seats.
In the fifth, after Mo<rridge had re?
placed Love, the Browns collected an?
other brace of runs. With one out
Austin walked and Sisler hit a double
to right, Austin pulling up at third.
Hendrix was purposely walked, and
Demmitt crashed into a curve for a
single to right which sent both Austin
and Sisler over the plate.
Huggins's men got to Gallia for two
hits in the sixth, and two more in the
seventh, but could not score. In the
< ighth they tied up the game. Peck
opened with a single to left and Baker
singled to right. A pass to Pratt filled
the bases and Pipp's long fly to Tobin
sent Peck over the plate. Bodie singled
to left, scoring Baker, but Pratt was out
trying to reach third on the hit. Jones
called Gallia to the bench and substi?
tuted Shocker, whose first pitch was
wild and Bodie reached third. Ping
counted when Gerber let Marsans's
grounder roll through him.
Good Chance for Browns
The Browns had a good chance in the
ninth, when they filled the bases with
none out, but could not score. In the
Yanks' tenth the squeeze play failed.
In the home twelfth Hendryx walked,
Demmitt popped out, Gedeon singled
and Johns was intentionally passed,
tilling the bases. Baker got Severeid's
hard grounder and retired Hendryx at
the plate, only to have Hannah bound
the ball off Severeid's head, with an
easy play in front of him that would
end the inning. Gedeon scored on the
misplay, winning the game.
Four Golf Balls
Bring $11,000
For Red Cross
CHICAGO, June 9.?All records for
Red Cross funds raised at golf matches
were broken here to-day, when $30,000
was collected at the Lake Shore Coun?
try Club during a match in which
Chick Evans, national champion, and
.Jame3 Barnes, Western open champion,
competed against Jock Hutchinson, pa?
triotic open champion, and Robert Mc?
Donald, of Indian Hill Club, Chicago.
The match ended all square.
Hutchinson equalled the course rec?
ord of 69, "set by himself, while Evans
by virtue of two sixes took 72, scor?
ing two twos for a record 34 on the
second nine. McDonald took 74 strokes
and Barnes, who was unfamiliar with
the course, required 76.
With Julius Rosenwald as ajc
'tioneery the game was stopped at the
second tee. while the four balls used to
play the first hole were purchased by
the Lake Shore Club for $11,000. a
record high figure for golf balls at a
price of $33.000 a dozen. At the sec?
ond green a more elaborate auction
took place, members of the club run?
ning up the price of the four balls,
sold individually, until the four to?
gether brought $r,,000. Similar auctions
took place from tec to tee.
The best ball score for Evans and
Barnes was 68 and that for Hutchin?
son and McDonald 67.

The severe driving of William T.
Tilden, 2d, of Philadelphia, earned him
a hard fought victory over S. Howard
Voshell, of the United States Aviation
Service, in the final round of the
Bronx County singles at the New York
Tennis Club yesterday.
Tilden's better condition aided him
considerably toward the end of the
game when he succeeded in often
breaking through his rival's service.
The score was 6?4, 4?(5, 6?2, 3?6,
6 2.
Plays Smashing Game
Voshell played a smashing game at
times, but had a tendency to miss
many chances that came his way.
Both men played a strong net game,
but Voshell's weak overhead play was
due to his inability to get sufficient
practice. The men set a fast pace
with Tilden driving hard and invari?
ably forcing Voshell back to contend
with his deep court driving.
The point score follows:

Voshell gained the service, but imme?
diately lost it and had to* take, the de?
fensive thereafter. The Philadelphia
player showed a great recovery in the
third set. Voshell gained a start, but
Tilden placed the next three games to
his credit. Voshell succeeded in adding
the fifth game, but Tilden's irresistable
playing netted him the next three
games in succession. Voshelf rallied
brilliantly during the tail end of the
fourth set to make the match even at
two each.
Best in Fifth Set
The aviator played at his best during
the early stages of the fifth set, but
then began to tire. Tilden put more
driving power behind his strokes and
added points quickly us he broke
through his opponent's service. Voshell
made several defaults himself, which
aided his rival to gain his winning
margin quickly.
A hard duel was also seen in the
finals of the doubles, with Ingo Hart
man and Elliot Binzen downing Harry
Steinkampf and Henry Bassford, in a
four set match, by a score of 6?3,
6?2, 3?6, 7?3. The Steinkampf-Bass
ford failed to gain their top form until
their rivals had placed the first two
sets to their credit. Thereafter it was
a hard fight for every ace, with Stein
kampf playing the strongest game and
being resDonsible for forcing the fourth
set to deuce.

ArthurSpencer
Wins First Leg
On Title Race
Arthur Spencer, the Toronto boy, and
present American bicycle champion,
won the quarter-mile titular race, the
first of a series of races which will
decide the national championship for
1918, yesterday afternoon at the Velo?
drome, in Newark. Spencer beat Bob
Spears, Frank Kramer and Reggie Mc
Namara, these three riders finishing in
that order.
The championship races are run in
eight trial heats, four semi-finals, two
grand semi-finals, and then the win?
ner.? of the grand serai-finals battle it
out for first and second places,
while the losers fight it out for third
and fourth places. With two men on
the track at all times, it eliminates any
possible chance of teaming. Arthur
Spencer beat Verri in the semi-final
and McNamara in the grand semi-final,
while he then outsprinted Spears, who
had beat Kramer in his grand semi?
final heat, winning by inches; Spears
won by a length from Kramer, who has
not reached the top of his speed this
season, but is getting better every day.
While Spears lost the championship
event, he rode a sensational race in the
two mile all-star invitation, winning
from Eddie Madden, Reggie McNamara,
Alfred Grenda and Frank Kramer.
Spears came from about fifth position
?n the backstretch of the last lap and
won out.
Jackie Clark, one of the most popular
rdiers who ever competed in Newark,
won the two-thirds mile handicap.

I * * By F w- J MACBETH
Li_*__j
N'ELSON N. LAMPERT, president of the Chicago Athletic As?
sociation, who evolved the idea of compulsory athletic train?
ing for all Americans between the ages of fourteen and
twenty-one, has just published a short synopsis of his plan, which, un?
fortunately, is too lengthy to be produced in full in these columns.
Mr. Lampert proposes nothing more difficult and elaborate than
compulsory development of the physical powera of youth and young
manhood as the intellectual is trained and developed by the common
schools. His scheme, of course, does not propose to coordinate with
school work. Rather it would supplement it, for he proposes to take
the youth at the time it is customarily through with compulsory men?
tal training (school) and begin a systematic development of the.physi?
cal.
The Lampert plan could dovetail into any scheme for universal
compubory military training this country may be called upon to adopt
as a result of the present world war. Indeed, the two could go hand
in hand. Hours devoted to healthful sports and recreations might
easily count as points in the curriculum of military obligation.
The quickness with which our soldiers who had enjoyed aHiletic
training before going into the army were advanced has proven the
value of athletics systematically administered in the raising of an
army. The Germans evidently figured this country could not quickly
train its men. Autocracy was fooled. And no agency contributed
more toward this very end than systematic athletic training.
Nelson N. Lampert has established a doctrine that should encoun?
ter little opposition if we but remember the miracles already accom?
plished in our armed military and naval forces within the brief span
of a year and a half. That doctrine already has met the unqualified
indorsement of all the important athletic clubs and associations
throughout the country. It is a work, speaking for itself, which is
bound to expand to every conceivable length, for it seems to answer a
crying danger scented by the Administration immediately this young
country stripped for?action. Athletics to-day is the boon of the classes.
Mr. Lampert would make it the privilege and delight of the masses as
well.
Suburban Proves Season's Surprise
EVERY red-blooded sportsman loves a good horse. So, whatever
the personal disappointment at the immediate time, none will
now grudge Johren, the imported three-year-old colt of Harry Payne
Whitney, that distinction which his impressive victory in Saturday's
running of the classic Suburban Handicap merited.
Johren proved pounds the best of a field of real merit?rather
more limited than usual though it were?in a race which ;vas decided
strictly on class. The element of luck figured nowhere at any time.
The best horse won. It makes no difference that the time was slow.
Johren had to overcome exactly the same track conditions as his com?
petitors. He overcame them in a manner that left him, of all the field,
with plenty in reserve at the end.. Johren's victory was clean-cut.
His preparation for that victory was open and above board when, by
winning impressively in a mile event two days previously, he added
five pounds to his impost which might as easily have been avoided.
It was disappointing indeed to see such public idols as Cudgel and
Spur trail not only Johren, but Hollister and Battle as well at the
finish. Yet in no case were the weights assigned unreasonable. It
would seem that Johren is a much more formidable stake horse than
was suspected. He will not want for support in the future.
The great popularity Of the running turf was attested in the
colorful crowd of twenty thousand that attended Saturday's racing.
It remains for the officials to see that this confidence is not betrayed.
Pessimists attach themselves to every game, and should be discounted
in the main. There have been rumors in circulation that can do the
sport no good. Those supposedly in close touch with a certain stable
declared that a certain favorite in a steeplechase had been sent to the
post on three legs. Whether or not this was so, the fact remains
that the favorite in question hit repeatedly in fencing, and finally un?
seated the jockey.
If the popularity of racing is to continue the interests of the pub?
lic, above all things, must be safeguarded. Paddock and patrol judges
are in a position to keep tabs on the physical condition of entries. If
necessary, they have the expert opinion of veterinarians at their beck
and call. If such officials fail in their duties they should be replaced
by experts capable of fulfilling the offices fearlessly.
Local Baseball Situation Interesting
A MONTH ago it appeared McGraw's championship Giants would
make such a runaway in the National League that the race
would be broken up before July 4. At the same time the most rabid
enthusiast would concede the Yankees nothing better than an outside
chance?and a mighty slim one at that?to top the list in the Ameri?
can League next October.
Sensational changes have been wrought within the month. The
National League race has been saved by the collapse of the Giants.
The Yankees displaced the Boston Red Sox for command of the John?
son circuit. This must not be interpreted as meaning that the Yan?
kees are at last about to realize a pennant dream or that the Giants
are through.
Huggins has a team of exceptional hitting power, one that air?
tight pitching would carry far. His pitching staff is capable to a de?
gree, but so scant in numbers of worth that one injury might easily
prove fatal. And another striking weakness is lack of speed. Gil
hooley alone of all the Huggins clan is capable of taking full ad?
vantage of the many base knocks. Because of this painful lack of
speed the New York Americans are bound to get a minimum of runs
out of the maximum of hits; which places all the greater premium on
pitching consistency.
The Giants are capable of much better baseball than they have
displayed of late. They have lost heavily of veteran material. Benton
and Barnes have gone to the army, while Schfcpp has not been avail?
able so far. Those three pitchers would furnish any club a pretty
capable twirling corps. Add to this the loss of Doyle and his under?
study, Niehoff, not to mention the prospective departure of Benny
Kauff, and one easily recognizes why the Giant cause has fallen from
an apparently moral cinch to a case of grave uncertainty.
The rise of the Yankees in conjunction with the slump of the
Giants is bound to prove a great tonic for major league baseball in
general. A balance is struck in both directions that should keep local
interest at concert pitch all the way. There seems a chance that the
world's series may be confined to this city next October. But to attain
that happy object both the forces of McGraw and Huggins will be
obliged to fight every inch of the way. Of the two Huggins's task
appears the more difficult, as no less than five rivals press him sorely.
The American League race is a six-cornered fight. On the other hand,
only the Cubs and Reds threaten the peace of mind of the Giants. Of
the two Cincinnati is very likely to prove the real Tartar before dog
days arrive.
