Causey Wins His Seventh In Row for J. J. McGraw Battle of the Boroughs Almost Ends in One Justi? fiable Homicide and a Couple of Murders ; Ivan Olson Tosses Away Game for the Flatbushers Bv W. O. McGeehan The Battle of the Boroughs, waged by the Giants and the Dodgers, almost ended in one justifiable homicide and a couple of murders at the Polo Grounds yesterday. The potential justifiable homicide was that of Ivan Ivory Olson, variously known as Ivan the Terrible, Ivan the Horrible and Ivan the Awful, who tossed away the game for the Dodgers with a couple of wild heaves and made a spikes-on dash for Larry Doyle in the eighth inning. It was larpcly due to Ivan that the final score was, Giants, 5; Dodgers, 2. Ivan Ivorv was cauflit coin?- into ?> second through one of those plays which have earned him iiis middle name and through the sagacity of Miguel Cot?zales, the intellectual Cubati. When Ivan saw that ho was out he tried to emulate Ty Cobb in a tan? trum and went after Doyle with his spikes. Doyle pensively reached to gel one of Olson's eyes on his thumb, but Fletcher was there ahead of him. Be? fore blood was spilt. Umpire Quigley interpose:!. Heinie Zimmerman started down from third uttering the shrill battle cries of The Bronx. "Gimme a bat," be pleaded. "Or the leg of a chair will do." Dodgers poured out of their dug? out and dashed into the melee, while tho Giants rushed to the centre. The iron gray head of John Joseph Mc Graw bobbed in the thirk of the car? nage like the helmet of Navarre. A few impulsive spirits threw their legs over the stands preparing to leap into the field. Led to Dugout Alive Olson was for tho moment as pop? ular as a Boche aviator caught bomb? ing a children's hospital. The mob from this.side of the Bridge wanted his gore Tor the assault on Doyle. The Flatbush contingent wanted him slain with celerity because he liad tossed eway ti game for Burleigh Grimes. But Quigley led him to the dugout alive. The incident was som? what reminis? cent of the spiking of Herzog by Ccbb at Dallas a couple of years ago. Cobb and Olson both wear spike? while play? ing baseball, but the resemblance ends there. The battling spirit of the back lot? seems to have entered into this series. These civil wars are fierce. Ceci! Algernon Causey got away wtih his seventh straight victory, but it was surrounded by a halo of horseshoes. He would have been beaten by 2 to 1 if Ivan The Terrible had not, thrown the game away for Burleigh Grimes. Causey had one bad inning, the third, when he was rapped four times for two runs that should have meant the ball game for the reverse side of the Bridge. Krueger started after Cecil Algernon with a long drive to left, and Crimes landed a second later almost in the same spot. Olson drove a hit to centretield and scored Krueger. With Magee out on a long fly Griffith hit to centre and scored (?rimes. Up to the fifth inning not a Giant coul?! connect with the mixed moist and dry delivery of Crimes. Then Benja? min Kauff met the ball right on the proboscis and sent it out to centre fora three-bagger. When Zimmerman and Fletcher struck out in succession Kauff resolved upon desperate methods to prevent the hit from being wasted. With Gonzales up he waited till Crimes Plaited to wind up. Then he made a dash to the plate and slid under Krue? ger, scoring the run by his little, bash? ful, lonesome self. It was ?u the sixth inning that Ivan the Terrible tossed away the game for the Dodgers in a mad Scandinavian frenzy. Young got to first when Magee juggled a poke, and went to second on a wild pitch. Then Chase lobbed one to Ivan the Awful, 'van the Horrible reached it and made a heave that was cigh*e"n feet over the head of Big Ed Konelchy and Young came all the way in from second with the run that, tied the score Doyle got a base on balls, but Kauff popped out to Magee. Zim n erman singled to centre and scored (hase, putting the Giants one run ahead. Ivan the Terrible Again In the eighth Ivan the Terrible re? peated. With one out, Larry Doyle drove a three-bagger to contre Kmii? shot one at Ivan the Awful, who jug? gled the ball a bit and then made a wild heave over Konetchy's head again Kauf? got to second on a wild pitch, the wildness of Ivan the llorribh hav? ing made a wild pitcher of Grimes, iinmerman _ot his base on balls. Then Fletcher pasted one to left field and scored KauiT. The bitterness of the Battle'of the' Boroughs was apparent r.ll through the game . In the sixth inning ?when Quig ley called Wheat safe on a slide to sec? ond Art Fletcher flew into a rage and tossed the hall into the field. Wheat took 'bird before he could recover It again. The trapping of Ivan the Terrible, which resulted in the sanguinary Swedish gentleman trying to impale Doyle upon his spikes, was due to the deliberation and foresight of Migue! Gonzales, the Cuban. Ivan the Awful shot one at Fletcher, who made a wild heave to. Chase. The ball went or toward the stands and Ivan the llnr rible started to second. But Miguel Gonzales was ready foi any and all emergencies. Unobtrusive ?y he had slipped into place behine Chase and recovered the ball, makir.j the {hrow to second in time to nai . Olson twenty feet away from the bag r Doyle stood waiting for Olson, wir tame flying in, wild with rage am raising his ?pikes, to threaten Doy!< He wan tagged out, and then the op posing ends of the Bridge began t ?lash.

Hits by Baker and Fewster brought in the winning run when it began to look as though the teams would play their third extra inning stalemate. It was the seven'.h game in a row that the Senators have lost by a one-run margin. The Yanks, presenting a shifted bat? ting array, started scoring in the first inning when Fewster was safe on j Shank's error. Baker, who seems to be off for his season's hitting stride, I drove Fewster home with a double and stole third. Tho agriculturist of Trappe (Md.) scored on Lewis's sacri? fice fly. The Solons got one in the same in? ning when Lewis dropped Foster's fly. The latter scored on a drive by Rice. The Yanks hung up another in the second when Ping Bodie was safe on ? Janvrin's error, stole second, and scored on a three-bagger by "Truck" Hannah. The score was evened again in the third when Judge doubled and Ghar rity got a base on balls. Judge .scored on a single by Shanks and Gharrity j tallied when Judge was thrown out by i Allan Russell. After that it regained ? nip and tuck until the ninth, when the j Yanks slashed out what looked to be a winning run. Duffy Lewis was safe when Shanks ! booted his poke. Tipp sent him along j with a single. Pratt forced Lewis, and i the best that Bodie could get was a long fly. Then came '"Truck" Hannah with another slugging fit. He laced on; ; a two-bagger and Lewis scored. The Senators tied it up in the ninth ? when Menosky got his base, on balls ! and went to second on Foster's sacri- j fice. A wild pitch sent, him to third ! and he scored when Rice beat out a hit ' to short. The Yankees got. their winning run with two out. Fewster singled, Then came J. Franklin Baker, driving out. one far enoftgh for Fewster to get all the way around with the winning run. To Miller Huggins th? mere winning ? of the game, while it means something in his young and troublous existence, is a minor matter compared to the bat- j ting awakening of J. Franklin Baker. Especially as the Yanks are soon due to meet all comers at the Polo Grounds for a long spell. The score: NEW VOlilv (A. T, l ! WASHINGTON (A.

Summer and Dead Soldiers Lost winds from home have found U3 Through fields of poppy stain; They whisper all around us Of hirers in the lane; Of twilights far behind us That held June's ancient vow; They brought old dreams (o hud us?

Where June and. bleak December To us arc always one. Yes, summer crowns the mountain:; Where moonlight seeks the plains; There's music in flic fountains That leap to s-ummer rains; The dogwood blossoms scatter Their snowdrift through the glen?

Sporting Stylists Styles operate in sport just the same as in women's dresses and clothing advertisements. Sport also lias its stylists just as literature has. Tris Speaker and George Burns are two outfield stylists with no modern equals. Walter Johnson is the pitching stylist of the game, lie has ease, grace, rhythm and the suggestion of power and reserve in.every thrown ball. Ho is easy ? to look at it' the ball he throws isn't. The two ieadin.fi' golf stylists of the U. S. A. are Chick Evans and Gil Nichols. They have an ease and rhythm to every stroke. Amonp boxers Joe (?ans and Packy McFarland were stylists extraor? dinary?shifting shadows with no waste motion. As a batsman Prank Schulte was a stylist without a superior. But for that matter two of the greatest of all ball players, Wagner and Cobb, are hardly to be listed in the Stylist T.eapue. Style doesn't always bag results. But it's something to look at, anyway, which is quite a part of the gamo. Connie .Mack has a good looking young ball club this spring, but you can observe from his league standing just what force of habit means. It's quite a bit easier to flop into tho cellar than it is to crawl out, whether it be in baseball or other walks of existence. WiUard's Vulnerability ? It has been shown that Willard could take abnormal punishing with? out blinking an eye. This is something that works both ways. According to his own 'Statement he had a jawbone and three ribs broken in the Johnson im? broglio. H?.- cracked a huckle against Mora:!. This might indicate, in addition to a capacity for soaking up punishment, a certain amount of brittleness, Suppose ho cracked a fin in one of the early rounds of the ? Denipsoy fight? If In- wasn't knocked out he'd be aimost sure to drop the decision. And if the Big Fellow was a bit brittle three or four years ; ago he won't be any less so this impending July. Concerning Sounds There nee sounds the stoutest nerves to try That leave a heavy load; A big shell whistling, hurtling by? .'I machine gun down the road; The dentist's drill as he makes n gash Where a raw nerve lies beyond; But the saddest sound is the dismal splash When a golf ball hits tiie pond. Penn Athletes Favorites in Titular Meet Cornell Squad Expected to Press Quakers in Harvard Stadium for College Crown BOSTON, May 29.?A heavy college atmosphere is prevalent here to-night with the gathering of representatives from twenty-two colleges for the 25th renewal of the annual outdoor track and field championships of the inter? collegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America, which begin in the Harvard stadium to-morrow after? noon. The progiamme for to-morrow calls for the elimination of the big field of entrants through trial heats. The final races will take place Satur? day. The massive Harvard stadium track is in splendid shape through the work of "Pooch" Donovan, of the Crimson squad, who has made it his business to have a lightning track for the visiting athletes. Several new records are expected to be made, and these will, in all likelihood, come in the track events. Pennsylvania rules favorite to carry off team honors, but the opinion pre? vails here that the Philadelphia ath? letes will not have ns easy a time as they anticipate. Cornell will be rep? resented by some new material, but the "Big C" will pin its hopes on half a dozen of its stars. Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth look forward to accumulating the major portion of their points in the field con? tests. All three institutions have shown in dual meets that they arc exceptionally strong in these special? ities. Much interest will centre in the two hurdle events, in which Carl Erdman and George Trowbridge, both of, Princeton, will match their speed ? against Walker Smith and John Watt, of Cornell, and Everett Smallcy, of) Pennsylvania. Erdman and Trow? bridge have displayed consistent form this spring. .-_-? Harvard Not to Row Yale in Special Race NEW HAVEN, Conn.. May 29 ?

Silverman, of Commercial High .School, by 6- 2, 6- 4, on the clay courts of the Kintrs County Tennis Club of, Brooklyn. It was a test of Donaldson's spirited net attack against Silverman's strong back-court driving, and the former pre? vailed. Donaldson will face Prank T.

Cy Meany, who was anxious to turn the tables on the Hanover lads for the j recent defeat suffered at their hands, was in tine form, allowing only four ; hits and no earned runs. Merritt started on the mound for I Dartmouth and for five innings turned the nine and White batsmen back with ; monotonous regularity. Five errors ] by Kopf, tiie Hanover shortstop, proved too much for him and under-: mined the visitor's defence.. Two bases on balls, a hit batsman ! and a single yielded Dartmouth no runs \ in the first. In the fourth session the ! Hnnoverites started the scoring in ; earnest.

West Side Tennis Club of Forest Hills by defeating little Miss Ceres Baker by a score of 6 - 0, H?2. The decisive defeat came as a sur? prise to those who had watched the work of Miss Baker throughout the tournament. A strong wind that blew across the court seemed to affect the tatter's game far more than it did that of Miss Rice, and the champion added to the troubles of her smaller rival by employing a tricky chop stroke which at times barely dropped the ball over the net, with Miss Baker far out of position.
