Yankees Extend Win Streak by Trimming Athletics?Giants Lose Close Game to Dodgers Shawkey Scores Easily Over Former Teammates Bob the Gob Holds Mack's Misfits Rimless After They Tally Twice in First Inning; Locals Register Five Markers and Just Beat the Rain By W. O. McGeehan Tho Polo Grounds were visited by a flock of mosquitoes and Connie Mack's Philadelphia Apathetics yesterday. The mosquitoes scored an easy victory over Colonel Tillinghast l'Hommedien Huston, but the other insects were beaten by the Yankees by a acore of 5 to 2. Robert Shawkey, the former able seaman, who once pitched for Mack, was slapped hard in the first inning, but after that he reduced tho Apathetics to their normal state of apathy. Despite the threatening weather ancH the presence of the Apathetics, there I Were three thousand hanging around ! when it was decided to play. It is be- j Heved that these three thousand are | members of the prophets' union, which has been predicting for three years back that Mr. McGillicudciy will sonic day have a ball team once again. Their slogan has been: "Watch the Athle.ics this year." And thev con? tinue to watch them, rain or shine, month after month. Why they are watching them they do not know. Yet many of these persons are not other? wise queer, tf I am not. mistaken my amiable colleague. Hughie Fullerton, is on i of those who said early this season-: "Watch the Athletics." If this is true, why isn't Hughie here watching the Athletics and hurting his own eyes? Apathetics Score Early Tbe- Apathetics started after Bob tho Gob in the first inning with a rush of base hits. With one out, Witt beat a hit to Pratt on a whisker's-width de? cision. Walker shot out a double to centre and was thrown out trying to make it a triple, but Witt scored. Then Burns lifted one into the left field bleachers for a home run. This exhibition and a flock of mosque? tees which invaded his box caused in? tense mental and physical anguish to Colonel Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Hus? ton. His sufferings were slightly allevr- ? ated in the Yankoe half of the inning by vigorous slapping at the mosquitoes, i, while the wildness of the other insects, the Apathetics, enabled the Yanks to tie the score. Noyes, the saliva slinger, who was putting them over for Connie Mack's comedians, passed Fewster and Peck inpaugh. Baker's out advanced both runners. Pipp was tossed out by Tur? ner and Fewster scored. Derrill Pratt smashed a hit to centre and . Peckin paugh scored. In the second inning the Yanks be? gan to bunch hits as thick as tho mosquitoes on Noyes. With two out Ruel, Fewster and Peckinpaugh singled in rapid succession. Then Baker ?-hot a long hard single to left and Ruel and Fewster scored. During the early part of the game Robert Gilks, the ivory hunter of the Yanks, who lias been combing the Southern leagues with the finest of line tooth combs, delivered a report to Colonel Huston. The report, slightly expurgated, read something to this ef? fort: "I have been through both of iiio Carolinas and the surrounding states, but I have discovered nothing but large hunks of cheese." Robert is the scout who turned in "Muddy" Ruel and some other promis? ing material to the Yankees. But take it from Robert, the crop of ivory is pretty tough, especially in the South. Robert attributes the scarcity of ivory to the fact that every able-bodied man in tbe South is at present in govern? ment employ and will not even think of working until there is a change of arlmi.ni-: tration. In the third inning Signer Pizzola fattened his batting average, which has been suffering from malnutrition, by cracking out a two-bagger to right. But there were two out and nobody on at the time. Noyes was evicted in tho fourth inning, when the Apathetics got two more on, for Kinney, who essayed to pinch hit, Kinney was called out and Johnson?not Walter--went in, Fewster started after Philadelphia Johnson by beating a hit to ^hort and taking second when Mickey Puga.n made a wild peg. Fewster got to third on Peckinpau^h's out and scored when Turner tossed out Baker. Fine Catrh by Lewis Duffy Lewi" shewed himself to be more than a fair mud horse in the fifth, wht-n be chafed through the slush to the distant cerner of left field to retrive a hiccb foul by Burrus. Duffy was knee deep in a couple of bogs be- ' fore he nailed it. Then Rob the Gob suddenly begnr to take an interest in his surroundings and struck out Witt and Walker in turn. Jt had begun to sprinkle and Robert saw a chanco of having the ordeal completed in con? siderably less than nine innings. The drizzle subsided shortly and the sun began to shine as brightly as it couid with the Apathetics at tho Polo Grounds. Pipp slashed a hit through centre in the Yankee section uf the seventh and was sacrificed to second. But he remained there when Walker made a line running catch of a long one by Lewis and Bodie was thrown out by Thomas. With two out in the ninth, Turner caused a little consternation by plaster? ing a two-bagger to centre field. The mud was too thick for Signor Pizzola to skid through it in time to snare the ball. But McAvoy mercifully ended it one jump ahead of the rain by being thrown out by Peckinpaugh. The Bcore: ??HILA i A I. ) I NEW TO?K i A.

Mrs. (?race Tuthill Bishop asked Judge Moran for a divorce from Burton T. Bishop, wealthy New Yorker, in which the chief complaint was that her husband neglected her for his love of golf and the associates met on the ?inks. She declared her neglect by Bishop and his surly 'disposition, together with the devotion to golf, constituted extreme cruelty. Judge Moran granted her request. 22-Year-Old Bats Used by Ed Roush To Drive Ont Hits IT IS said that EddUs Eoosh?, the Cincinnati outfielder, nas two baseball bats that are twenty-two yeans old.

Assist Fisher ; Casey May Captain the Eleven CAMBRIDGE. Mass., Aug. 30.?Twen? ty-five candidates, forming: the advance guard of the Harvard 'varsity football forces, will report Tuesday afternoon at the Locker building to head coach Robert T. Fisher. This small band will , be composed of those who are contend? ers for the positions of ends, backs and centres. # To give Fisher, starting as head coach for the first time, the proper kind of send-off. a number of assistants will be present, including Richard Wig 1 glesworth and Mai Logan, who will take caro of the quarterbacks; Huntington ("Tacks"! Hardwick and Wingate Rol? lins, who will handle the halfbacks; Charlie Coolidge, the 1916 end, and j Derrio Parmenter and ^ Don Wallace, : centre coaches. It is 'probable that Percy Haughton, the retiring head coach; Leo Lcary, his assistant, and Reggie Brown, who scouts Harvard's chief opponents, will also lend their presence for tin.? occasion. Fach cundidatc has been in touch through the mails with Coach Fisher and Dr. Nichols, the football team's medical attendant, and know just what is expected of them the coming week The entire squad gets busy a week from Monday and the first game is booked with Bates College for Saturday, Sep tember 27. Bi-daily practices will be held until college reopens September 22 Among the better known of the play? ers who will report Tuesday ure Ralph I Horween, twice a letter man; Eddie | Casey, the 191<*> halfback, who will prob? ably captain the eleven; Bill Murray | and Winslow Felton, both of whom won ! their letters aginst Yale three years i ago; Jack Desmond, a husky end, who \ may be switched 'to a rush line posi ! tion; Vic Nelson, a 186-pound half? back of promise; Stan Burnham, sub ; stitute on the 1916 team; Frank Lo throp, Fred Church and Jim MacDonell, ! of former freshman teams; Arnold Horween, the 1917 informal captain; -, Ben Hunneman, the crack drop kicker | of the 1918 S. A. T. C. team, and Arthur I Conlon, an old Exeter quarterback, who showed tine form on the Harvard mili? tary team last fall. Ralph Horween and Eddie Casey pro? vide Fisher with experienced backs The former can drop kick and punt, a: well as buck the line, with considerablt success. Casey can run swiftly anc has the puzzling side step that makes i pood back hard to stop. Both mei probably will hold their positions be ! hind the line from the very first game Although reten! ion of Lieutenan I Edward Mahan, of the Marine Corps, ?i ! service in Rumania, caused him to re ! sign as coach of the Boston Collegi | eleven, he is expected to return in tim ! to assist in coaching Harvard's back I for late season games. Coach Fishe I expressed the opinion that Mahan wa i the greatest football player of all tim and that he would be invaluable to th 1 team.

The Expert of Tarsus Dear Sir: Speaking of this here now St. Paul, not the one in Minnesota but the one who was born at Tarsus and wrote the letters. Was he or was he not a golfer? If he wasn't how could he so eloquently voice the du fier's wail? Oh, yes, he did, for he wrote, as you know: "What I would?that I do not; but what I hate, that I do." Perhaps that lost letter to the Laodiceans was composed when he was off his drive and was suppressed by an early Roman Creel. What a pity! Who but St. Paul could do full justice to an insistent hook or a fixed tendency to sway the bean on the comeback? g p Our idea of a great inventor is one who can make wars popular for a buck private.

By Way of a Tip The time is now at hand, or on the way, when international sport wiil be a striking feature of each competitive season. This will apply particularly to lawn tennis and golf, two games that know no borderland but are world? wide in their scope. In these two games the United States is building on a foundation of youth, und unless rival nations are in position to build on the same platform it requires no prophecy to forecast coming results. Young stars are coming along in both games at a rapid clip, stars who are developing form, stamina and the knack at an age whan it counts. Some of these will reach a certain point?and mount no higher. - But many have the making of champions, and in two j or three years from now the U. S. of A. will have an I entry list that should be close to unbeatable. This is written in no spirit of boastfulness. It is merely a statement based upon actual conditions as they now appear to be. | The National League pennant is getting to be a ?one-year proposition. Boston, 1914; Philadelphia, 1915; Brooklyn, 1916; New York, 1917; Chicago, 1918; ?in i cinnati, 1919. Six different clubs in the last six years. ! It might be j?st as well for Pittsburgh or St. Louis ? to shoot through an order now. Or do they intend to I re-act that well known drama "The Two Orphans"? Constant Action So far as constant and continued action go, lawn tennis has baseball stopped and football lagging. There is more action in a high class tennis match than in two ball games. A Johnston and a Tilden or a Murray and a Williams tossed in together would make any two major league ball clubs look slow, so far as action counts. The Youngest Finalists The youngest two finalists that ever clashed in an amateur golf championship were Fred Herreshoff and ? Chandler Egan, some fourteen or fifteen years ago. ? Herreshoff then was sixteen, while Egan was twenty ' one. Their combined ages were thirty-seven, or two below the combined ages of Bobby Jones and Dave : Herron. And just around that time Walter J. Travis, five | years older than both put together, became amateur champion of Great Britain. Some pitcher might be able to discover Babe Ruth's weakness if it wasn't mere consistent with safety and cemmon sense to duck immediately after letting go the ball.

"Squeeze Play" by Pirates Beats Reds In the Eleventh, 1-0 PITTSBURGH, Aug. 30.?Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati, 1 to 0, in 11 In? nings here to-day, in a game featured by good pitching on each side and splendid fielding. Adams and Ring opposed each other and were invincible until the eleventh, when the visiting pitcher wavered. Southworth led off then with a single past short, went to second when Whitted was passed and each man moved up on Barbare's sacrifice. Cutshaw was purposely passed, filling the bases. The squeeze play scored Southworth with the winning run when Terry bunted in front of the plate as Southworth came down the base path. The score: CINCINNATI (N. L.) I PITTSBURGH (N.
