Coogan's Boi; Flooded Over

Fishing in the Outfield
By \V. O. McGeehan
Twenty thousand camped ;-.'. the Polo
*'? i Is ? ? sterday afternoon anj

ii . c :o watch. The Giants-Reda
sei e; which .vas announced us being
fraught with bitterness, personalities,

not start with the scheduled doublc
neader. It starts to-day weather and
Henry Fabian permit ?ng.
Coogan's Bio- which lies at the foot
of Coogan's Bluff was Hooded over an I
Ground Keeper Henry Fabian's plumb?
ing which is supposed to drain off the"
juice seemed somewhat in need of re?
pair. There was a swamp in the infiel !
and a fish pond containing eels, has.;
and several varieties of sardines in the
outfield. Numbers of these tinny deni?
zens were snared and converted in'o
food by Harry Stevens.
Fabian Constructing Ark
Depressed by the downpour Henry
Fabian recalled the troubles of Noah.
He does not wish it to he generally
known, but Mr. Fabian is secretly con?
structing an ark under the stands If
the weather continues to act up Mr.
Fabian will be prepared to take what
available stores may be left by Harry
Stevens and put out into the watery
wastes.
Mr. Fabian's reasons for the pr? -
paredness are based on scientific
grounds. Geologists have informed
him that the Harlem River once flowed.
where the Polo Grounds now lie ;>" 1
Mr. Fabian is of the opinion that the
boisterous Harlem is about to claim its
own.
During the downpour yesterday
afternoon the^Reds and the Giants did
not exchange felicitations or commis?
erations. Fach clan kept to its <>w-i
dugout and nothing: but glances of coll
hauteur passed across the field from
bench to bench. A visitor or two from
Cincinnati frothed at the mouth no\V
and then, crazing in the direction of the
Giants' dugout.
As a place to watch the weather che
Polo Grounds seems to be about 13
good as any other. The chairs may be
a little hard but a great deal of
weather can be seen there, especially
from the upper stands.
The fact that twenty thousand turned
out on the faint hope of seeing a ball
game indicates that this is a "crucial
series" even if the statistics did not.
The Giants but for the Reds would ap?
pear to have the National League pen?
nant attached to the halyards already.
.Moran Most Inconsiderate
But here is Pat Moran with what did
not look like much of a team at the
start of the,season disputing the lead
with the Giants and causing cold chills
tw? run up and down the spines of many
whr> touted the Giants as a cinch at
the start of the season. Patrick is
most inconsiderate. He has not even
stopped to consider what effect the
winning of a pennant by the Reds
would liave upon citizens of Cincinnati
who have weak hearts. Mortality sta?
tistics have no concern with Pat.
However, Mr. Moran is inclined to be
reticent at this stage of the game. "I
have nothing to say," he remarked yes?
terday. "And if you say that I have
you can't prove it. All I know is that
the team is going good right now.
I'm getting the pitching and the boys
have lin spirit to win."
Moran also preserved a Henry Ford
reticence toward the matter of that
protested game at Pittsburgh. He did
not know even that it had been decided
against him, and t'tuit it would be
played over later in the month.
Out in Cincinnati there is talk of
having this matter laid before the
league of nations or a higher tribuna!,
if that one should not decide in favor
of the Red3. The feeling is so bitter
that McGraw has been caileil some
names that have not been used here?
tofore.
Should the leak in the sky and the
leak in the Polo Grounds be repaired
this afternoon the Giants probably will
Start Benton and Dubuc, while Moran
will retort with Ray, Fisher and Reu
ther. John Foster announced for the
benefit of out-of-towners that rain
checks accumulated yesterday will be
good for any day during the season.

Br?ckley, Old Harvard Star,
Will Coach Fordham Eleven
King of Drop Kickers Se?
cured to Take Charge of
Maroon; Great Record
CharleyBrickley, tho former Harvard
football star and captain, will coach
the football team at Fordham Univer?
sity next fall, succeeding Eddie Sis- ?
kind. The news of Brickley's appoint?
ment to the position was announced
yesterday and came as a surprise to
football followers in the city. Ford
ham's adherents are joyous because in
the naming of the great drop-kicker
they see a big revival of the sport at
tin- uptown institution.
Brickley at present is engaged in
business here, but he will have ample
lime to devote to his new duties in the
fall. He has had considerable experi-I
ence as a coach of the gridiron game.1
Last year, as a lieutenant in the navy,
he organized, coached and captained
I the Transport Service eleven at this
port.
? Upon his graduation from Harvard
in 1914 Brickley accepted the offer of
the Johns Hopkins school in Baltimore
to coach its football team. Later he
coached Boston College, and recently
was mentioned for the position as head
coach at Harvard for next fall. He
also received numerous offers from
other colleges to become football men- !
tor, but turned them down to engage'
in business here.
It was as a drop-kickcr that Brick
ley gained his fame. He shone in other
departments of the game while playing
on the Harvard eleven, but in the art
of kicking he startled the football
world by his marvellous feats. He is
regarded as one of tho greatest, if not
the best, in the matter of kicking goals
that ever played the game.
During his four years at the Cam?
bridge university Brickley scored 286
points for the Crimson. The points are
divided as follows: Thirty touchdowns,
174 points; seven goals from touch?
downs, 7 points, and thirty-five goals
from tin? field, lOTi points. In three
years as a 'varsity player he kicked
twenty live goals from the field.
On ring his last year, while captain
of the team, he was stricken with ap?
pendicitis and played in only two games
and a fraction of another, and regis?
tered only one goal for the season. In
1913 he defeated Yale single-handed,
kicking five goals from the field, his
greatest number in any single contest.
O'Dowd and Gibbons
To Fight on Labor Day
What is expected to ho one of the
best fights staged in this country
since the. war will take piare in Hie
baseball park at Minneapolis on tho
night of Labor Day, when Mike O'Dowd
and Mike Gibbons clash. Both O'Dowd
and (?ibbons claim the middleweight
championship.
The bout will be a struggle between
a crafty, resourceful boxer and a
strong, slugging fighter of the .lack
Dempsey type. O'Dowd has recently
returned from the war zone and is now
in splendid condition.
Two-Mile Run Features
A two-mile handicap run, in which
every prominent registered athlete in
this city is entered, promises to prove
one of the thrillers at the secon?! day
of the Police (lames at the Sheeps
head Bay Spe?'dway next Saturday
afternoon. A held of twenty-one is
entered, with Charles Tores and Max
Bohland, the two champions, starting
from scratch.

Charles Brickley
Squire of Fiatbush
Once More Foiled
By Storm King
, Charles H. Ehhets must feel that
his Brooklyn Dodgers are a superior
mud and rain team in the National
League. He has had fair success in
quagmire contests to date and is will?
ing lo try conclusions with the others
under these conditions any old time.
Despite the reversal handed him Sun?
day by the weather man Owner Kbbcts
came right hack yestenlay with an?
other valiant attempt to stago a couple
of ball games.
The squire had tho poor scribes
guessing as to what was going to hap?
pen next. When they awakened at mid?
day and 'phoned to learn the situation
they were informed that the first game
of a double-header was about to com?
mence. At that time a flood was
descending.
Another call later brought the an?
nouncement that the first, game had
been cancelled, but that the second
would begin soon. A flying trip to the
park led to the discovery that the
second contest had also been scratched
just as the sun was peeping above
the clouds. A double-header, however
will be played on the Flatbush field to?
day, rain, shine or no weather at all,
the Chicago Cubs furnishing tho oppo?
sition.

night drinking to the dregs the cup he j
prepared for himself when he insisted !
on working his three good pitqh_rs to
death against the easy competition. in ?
the East for the satisfaction of stick- ;
ing out in front in the American League
race. He finds himself now with no
pitchers at all, for his three big guns
are rusty, and his other available ord
nance has never had an opportunity to j
limber.
It was lack of average pitching, and j
nothing else, that blew both games of j
to-day's double-header to the White j
Sox and made of this present Western ?
tour the most ignoble "bust" of Yankeo j
history. Chicago won the first game j
7 to 6, and took the second by a score |
of 5 to 4 in ten innings. New York I
dropped to third place, seven and a i
half games behind the leaders.
Yanks Outhit Sox
Ordinary pitching would have won !
both games. In both contests the i
Yankees outslugged the leaders?14 to
11 in the opener and 9 to 6 in the sec-j
ond. Shawkey, Russell and Quinn com- i
bined couldn't stave off defeat in the j
first. Kerr, as relief man for Williams,
foiled the Yanks in this game. He j
came back to the rescue of Red Fabor
in the second and foiled them again.
Chicago played with the confidence !
of champions; the defence stood up
brilliantly in the pinches. New York
was nervous over its pitching, and
showed it in its play. Thormahlen had
to stay in and take it through the sec?
ond game.
For five innings the first game was
a pretty duel between Williams and
Shawkey. In the sixth Chicago
bunched six hits, including two doubles,
for four runs. New York got throe
back in the seventh on Pratt s single,
Fewster's double, passes to Ruel and
Ward (who batted for Shawkey) and
Peck's single. They might have had
some more if Fewster hadn't tried to
steal home.
Chicago got two runs and the lead
again in its half on Risberg's triple,
which scored Weaver and Jackson, who
had singled. Each-side scored irt the
ninth. Felsch saved the game by cut?
ting down Wickland at the plate when
he tried to score on Pipp's long single;
Muddy Kuel, on the other hand, tossed
it off with a bad throw to stop Lei
bold's steal with two gone.
Triple for Eddie Collins
The White Sox got the jump in the
first inning of the second game?a
triple by Eddie Collins, a pass to Jack?
son and a double by Felsch giving two
runs. Schalk's double, a pass to Faber,
a two-bagger by J. Collins and E. Col
lins's sacrifice fly added two more in
the second. The Yankees got two in
the sixth after two were out. Baker's
singled and scored on Lewis' triple?
Pratt doubled, scoring Duffy. They
tied it up in the eighth. Pipp walked.
Baker and Lewis grounded out. Pratt
singled, scoring Pipp and took second
on Jackson's fumble. Bodie's single to
centre knotted the count.
Kerr, who relieved Faber, turned
hack the Yankees in both the ninth
and tenth. In the second half of tho
extra period the White Sox clinched
the argument. Schalk walked and Kerr
sacrified. J. Collins singled to centra
for the run.

Will Protest Games
Pitched by Thompson
TORONTO, July 21.?President J. ?I.
McCaffery of the Toronto Raseball
Club announced to-day that he would
file a protest against every game in
which Pitcher Thompson, of the Balti?
more Club, took part, and would also
ask President Fultz of the Interna?
tional League for a ruling on the claim
made by Toronto against Baltimore for
tho pitcher.
August Herrmann, chairman of the
I National Commission, has informed Mr,
? McCaffery that body would take no
action in tho case in view of the action
of the minor leagues in breaking off
relations with the national organiza?
tion.
Thompson was a member of the To?
ronto club in 1917, when he was draft?
ed by Washington. He then joined
tho army and did not play again until
this season, when, after a few games
with tho Senators, he was traded to the
Philadelphia Americans and by them
sent to Baltimofe.
Final Polo Match To-day
The Cooperstown polo team and the
Rockaway four will meet this afternoon
at Codarnurst, Long Island, in the final
match for the Blizsard cups. Both
teams have been playing in good form
during the tournament and a thrilling
match is expected. The game will be
called at 4 o clock.

Six High Spots in American Sport
No. 1?The Big Four Ride Again
The first week in June, 1913, found the American snorting eon
tmgent at a low ebb.
So far as one could see with the undressed orb, Great Britain wag on
the verge of taking back the polo trophy, won at Hurlingham several
years before and twice successfully defended. ?
But American prospects had suddenly gone blooie. The Old Four
who had triumphed so often looked to be in the sore and yellow.
Their day was considered over. And the New Four, headed by Foxhall
Kecne, had suddenly disintegrated when Keene cracked a collarbone and
left for the hospital.
Hie Sudden Change
There was nothing to do, of course, but to call in the Old Four again
for a last ride.
This team consisted of the two Watcrburys, IL P. Whitney and,
Devereux Milburn.
No one figured them with a chance. They were merely a last resort,
a final resource that perhaps might make a game and cour h peons stand
in defeat.
England's riders, Captains Cheape, Edwards, Rltson and Lockett,
must have felt a confidence equal to America's depression. Th?*y formed
a great quartet and the situation looked to be within easy reach.
The Unforgettable
So, on a balmy June day, in the presence of 25,000 or more who knew
little of polo, but who sensed a great international contest, the two teams
lined up:
America Great Britain
L. Waterbury. ..No.l.Captain Cheape
J. M. Waterbury.No. 2.Captain Edwards
H. P. Whitney.No. 3.*.. .Captain Ritaon
D. Milburn.No. 4.. .?.Captain Lockett
The match had not been under way thirty seconds before a vast sur
prise was passed from the field to the big crowd. The Old Four mipht he
all in, but they were out for one last whirl?one dashing t??ale that would
get somewhere or cost a neck.
Riding "hell for leather," they went to it. Man and pony took every
chance in the percentage realm, and within a minute and thirty-six let
onds J. M. Waterbury had scored the first goal for the U. S. of A. To
suggest that started something would be putting it entirely too p'titly. For
the first time the crowd began to have visions of possible victory.
For in that first period the American team rode and played as it had
never ridden or played before. Captain II. P. Whitney decided the time
to win was at the start, before the older team became wearied down. And
of all the polo any international match has ever seen nothing surpassed
the play of the Old Four in that first charge.
After Monte Waterbury had scored, Larry Waterbury came throuph
a short while later with a second goal, and before the period ended
Devereux Milburn, probably the greatest of all Number Fours, had rung
up still another goal.
Three goals to none in the first period! And this by a team *hat many
believed to be outclassed.
The first period was the episode that turned the trick.
England's Rally
Starting the fifth period, the United States team was leading by 6
goals to 1. The Big Four had? scored six goals, but had suffered two pen?
alties for rough riding in their wild rush to prove they were not vet
eligible for a veranda seat in the Old Man's Home.
It was here that England made her final rally. Realizing that in
place of winning with fair ease they were about to be beaten again, the
invading four went to it with a dash. In attacks led by Cheape and
1 Ritson they scored two goals and brought the fight almost to even terms.
But this was their last stand before the continued ouslaught i ? 7
opponents.
Tho U. S. team was penalized again for half a point in the seventh
' period, but when the final period arrived it was Larry Waterbury who
' nailed England's last chance with another goal, leaving the final count
at 5 1-2 to 3. The American team had actually scored eight goals, hut
had suffered three penalties on their way un and out.
The Big Four's Last Victory
This match ended the Big Four's last victorious stand. A year later
England sent another set of challengers across, and thin time the r;p
went back to British soil.
Of that English team not one man is left. Captain Cheap?, one of
the greatest polo stars that ever played, was one of the fii with
the Contemptihles that held back the German rush. One t on? the
others were killed out or badly wounded.
There will be another American polo team leaving for British noil
next summer, but of the eight who fought it out in June, 1913, not .-nor?
than one will be in action when the next test comes.
