ankees Lose to Tigers and Drop to Second Place?Giants Beaten, but Dodgers Win
Feu?sier98 Error in Ninth
ptmw?
Shortstop Misses Chance for Double Play to Wind
IT? the Game, and Then Detroiters Score
Three Runs; Young Collins Is Beaten, 4 to 3
By W. O. McGechan
Sometimes the Yankees appear like a team of haunted athletes in a
world infested by jinxes. % Yesterday*was one of the times. After winning
s tight and thrilling ball game from th? Tigers in the seventh, they tossed
it away with what Elinor Glyn might call reckless abandon in the ninth.
The toothless, yet terrible, Tiges snatched' it out of the conflagration by
a score of 4 to 3. The defeat cost the Yankees first place, as the Cleveland
Indians won both their games from the Senators.
Up to the seventh Doe Ayers had not*
allowed a hit and only one man had
reached first by a base on balls. Then.
Walter Pipp, a right field hitter by
birth and ancestry, noisted a home run
into the left field stands. The Detroit
outfield still favored right field. Buth
crossed all of them by hoisting one
high in the air to left field. There
/was nobody there and the ball was hit
so high that Ruth rounded second be?
fore it landed and took third, skidding
there on his sore wriat. He scored on
a sacrifice fly by Meusel.
This put the Yanks in the lead by
2 to 1 after the breaking of a tense
pitchers' duel between Rip "Two-Gun"
Collins and Avers. Then came a
couple of errors by Fewster and Han?
nah, pulling the props of pride right
from undernesth the Yanks in the
ninth.
Bush Starts Trouble
Bush got a base on balls. Shorten
popped out to Meusel. Then Veach
shot one to Collins, The reformed
' Texas Ranger turned to second and
deliberately enough threw the ball to
FewBter. Fewster reached out one,
hand, setting himself to throw t<* first
and complete a double play. It was
an easy job and perhaps Fewster was
overconfident. The ball slipped through
his fipgers and both men were safe.
Instead of retiring the side and end?
ing the game with that dramatic sev?
enth inning climax the Yanks pro?
ceeded to slop into a terrible anti?
climax. Heilman shot a single be?
tween third and short and Bush scored,
putting the* Tigers on even terms with
the Yanks again, while the multitude
moaned.
With this opening Hughie Jennings
called Ty Cobb, the pale and interesting
invalid from Augusta, Ga., to bat for
Ellison. The Peach limped out to the
plate and proceeded to demonstrate that
even a one-legged Cobb was the equal
?f a two-legged ordinary pinch hitter.
The Peach chopped a single to right
field and Veach scored.
Once again opportunity to check 1<ie
Tiger rush knocked at the Yankee door
and found nobody home at all. Heilman
took too long a lead off third base, and
was palpably trapped. "Truck" Hannah
poised the ball and instead of tossing it
to Meusel hit Heilman on the knee and
the ball caromed off the joint into the
infield. Heilman scored. It turned out
later that this run was just enough to
win the game.
Slight Rally in Ninth ?
The Yanks got on$ run in their half
of the ninth with the assistance of
Pinelli, the third baseman. Vick slashed
one down to him and Pinelli made a wild
throw to first, letting Vick get all the
way to second. Pipp scored him with a
single to right field. This brought the
"Babe" up again with nobody out and
with a sweet spot for a homer. But the
Infant was thrown out by Young.
Meu.ol struck out and Ping Bodie, the
Wonderful Wop, was thrown out by
Bush.
It was a hectic ball game until the
Yankees started to go bad. Ayers was
pitching one of the best games that
he ever pitched, until Pipp drove that
astonishing home run into the left field
stands. Our Mr. Rip Collins was pitch?
ing shut out ball,.too, until the seventh,
when Shorten crashed out ? single that
bisected first base. Heinie Heilman
brought b}m in with a triple that rolled
into the right field corner of the lot.
With the brand of pitching that
Ayers was offering, this looked like a
big enough run to win the game. In
the third and fourth innings he struck
out five men .in a row. But the Yankees
crashed through in their half of 'the
same inning and Ayers was lifted for
a pinch hitter. "Chicken" Okrie and
Ehrnko finished the game for the Ti?
ger?.
Ruth hurt his sprained wrist again
when he slid into third, and there was
a dash of trainers and assorted med?
icos to the, wounded infant. But he
yanked the joint into place himself.
The Babe is eternally fallin? a;>ar,t and
coming together again.
Honor Rath To-day
The "Babe" does not seem to have suf?
fered any from having worn a touring
ear as a collar for a few minutes on
the morning previous. The corrugated
marks of the tires still showed, but the
Infant was slashing at the pill with his
accustomed vehemence. To-day the
"Babe" will be given a present by the
Knights of Columbus, and more than a
thousand of the Caseys will be preaent
to see him ho,ist the twenty-fifth homer
out of the lot. He says that he will try.
It was announced that the two um?
pires, Hildebrand and Evans, had been
robbed of something like $900 worth of
wearing apparel and jewelry at the ball?
park. On hearing of this Ping Bodie,
the Sympathetic Wop, said: "I wonder,
how the umpires like being robbed them?
selves, for a change."

Twombly's Homer
Tallies Three Runs
And Defeats Toney
From a Special Correspondent
CHICAGO, July 8.?'/Lefty" Ty|er,
who in the heyday of the world cham?
pion Braves was always a thorn in the
side of the Giants, stopped McGraw's
team to-day in the inaugural, game of
their second Western tous and turned
them back to a 5 to 8 defeat.
Tyler was far Trom his old. self of
1914-'1S, but he still had something
to spare at the end, because such as his
pitching ?was, that of the. Giants was
much worse. New York scored enough
runs to win had its pitching been fault?
less. But Big ?Fred Toney wasn't there,
that's all.
The Cubs hammered Toney'for four?
teen hits of various denominations in
the seven innings he toiled. Jess
Winters, who worked the last inning,
got away without a hit or a score be?
ing registered off his delivery, but he
was sent to the rescue too late.
It did not take the Cubs very long
to cinch the game. They crowded over
a run in the first inning, but New York
came right back with a brace in their
second. The Cubs matched these and
took the lead, never to be headed, in
the third period. New York scored
again in the fourth and got back in
the game, but whatever hope the visi?
tors may have entertained that they
could pull Toney safely through was
ruined by Twomblyfs home run in the
sixth. This fell with two on the bases
and'accounted for the Cubs' last three
runs.
King's single and Doyle's homer
over the right field wall netted two
runs in the second inning. In the
fourth Frisch's triple and King's single
produced another. In the eighth Mc?
Carthy batted for Toney and walked.
Bancroft's double and Frisch's single
bagged the last two runs.

Why Is It?
I'm a golfer and a southpaw?though perhaps you will insist .
Tliat innvaking such a statement I am giving Truth a twist;
But forget that feature of it-?tell me why the wreath of Fame
Still avoids the lonely southpaw in this grand old^Scottish game?
Look at tennis aivd at baseball?note the names thai lead the rest.
You will find left-handed players there upon the very crest;
But the golfer who's a southpaw never figures in the dope,
He's an outcast and a duffer and without a single hope.
Do not tell us to "cfiange.over," that is ev'ry Pros' advice,
And not worthy of a stanza from the pen of Grantland Rice;
But some day when you're not busy, search the records for the name
Of a good left-handed golfer who can really play the game.
ONE OF THEM.

Scotland Forever!
The British open championship is now a week past, but the jubilant
swagger has not yet left the Scottish stride. ? s
George Duncan has brought joy back to the Highland country and has
scattered glory once more among the braes and the heather. The bag
pipes have a keener lilt as the McPhersons, the Sandys and the Jocks talk
it over together in a land where the Nineteenth Hole is not bunkered by a
Sahara nor trappd by an endless drouth.
Duncan, standing eighteenth after the first day, cut his way through
the field to the top of the peak with as fine an exhibition of skill and nerve
and courage as any golfer has ever shown. ?? He proved again the qualities
which made the "Ladies of Hell" a terror to Germany in the dark days
now over.
Beaten in more than one championship by a highly nervous tempera?
ment, he took this occasion to hold his nervous system in complete subjec?
tion and at the big moment to put upon display the wonderful skill that
he has always carried.
It was ? triumph that deserves high rank in the history of a sport
that was under way when Columbus carried the Atlantic water hazard.
It was Scotland that gave golf to the world; Scotland that is respon?
sible for over 6,000,000 golf widows; Scotland that caused all the suffer?
ing of the missed short putt and the topped shot into a pond.
And it is also Scotland that takes her place again as the banner
carrier of her own game, with the Vardons and the Hag?ns marching in
captive lines to the tune of "Annie Laurie" and "Bonnie Dundee."
So here's to Duncan and the Thistle-^-to the braes and the 'mists
where the only missing ingredient on this side is the Scotch product that
would make the toast even more worth while.
Another Addition
To the list of superstars which the season has produced must be
added the name of Mile. Lenglen, the tennis wonder of France.
The brilliant young French woman outclasses the field as far as
"Babe" Ruth outclasses the sluggers of a different game?as far as Man
o' War outclasses the three-year-olds of the track.
There isn't any one around to even give her a hard game. When she
can decisively beat an opponent who outclasses Mrs. Mallory some idea
of her wonderful ability can be obtained.
There are rumors that both she and Miss Leitch, the British golfing
marvel, will invade American shores, an event that will add much to the
general vivacity of the international scene.
The predominance of thjse two stars is a challenge to the women of
America to begin marshalling their forces for the international whirls
that are to be even bigger features of the future. ,
Branch Rickey's refusal to sell Hornsby for'$250,000 not only kept
his club in the pennant race, but also earned him the earnest support of
all St. Louis fans. The game, with Rickey, isn't all a matter of .High
finance. Few in past history have contributed more to the good of baseball.
You can never tell. Johnson had to wait fourteen years until his
arm was supposed to be sore before pitching his first no-hit game. And
it wasn't until after he had been canned two or three times that Ray
Caldwell finally horned in with a no-hitter. A man may be down when
he's, only crouching for a spring.
James de Forrest insists that he gave out no interview regarding the
iron fringe upon Dempsey's taped hands. So. the fashionable chit-chat
grows apace. Maybe the tape was padded with cotton.
Anyway, Willard, after thinking it all over, is inclined to believe that
De Forrest not only said it, but that he said what amounts to a mouthful.
You might even say a face full. ,
Long Jim Barnes, after losing to Hagen at* New Orleans and Belleair,
desires to know the author of the remark "He. laughs best who" etc.

From a Special Ccri-?spoti/tont
ST. LOUIS, July 8.?Uncle Wilbert
Robinson's Demon Dodgers started ih
the West where they left off in the
East and plastered the Cardinals all
over Sportsmen's Park beta thft after?
noon in their first game of the second
Western toOr. Uncovering a barrage
that endangered the life and limb of
no less than four of Branch Rickey's
Jitchers, the assortment including Jess
?cob Haines, tho bojr wonder of. Kan?
sas City, Brooklyn won by the lopsided
score of 14 to 2.
Brooklyn manufactured its fourteen
runs out of nineteen base knocks for
a total of twenty-six bases, a few
pasees and half a dozen misplays by
the Cardinals. All of the Dodger regu?
lars except Ed. Kenetehy got at least
one blow. Olson, Johnston and K?lduff
contributed three safeties each, while
Griffith, Wheat, Miller and Taylor each
weighed in wtyh a brace. Zach Wheat
gained the batting honors of the day
by launching a psychological home
run.
to-day's game was played on the field
of the St. Louis Americans, which the
Cards will use in future because of
its greater capacity. The Cards seemed
somewhat strange in their new sur-*
ro?nd?ngs, while the rotund Bobbie and
his minions appeared right at home.
It was the sixth straight victory for
Brooklyn and the tenth victory of the
last eleven games played.
Under* the circumstances it might
have been as well for the Dodgers to
save up a few hits and runs for the
rest of the series. Burleigh Grimes
was in rare form, and if crowded
could probably have shut out the home
boys. As it was he held them to five
scattered hits, though he worked easily
1 all the way. His team mates spotted
him five runs in the very first inning,
and five runs are usually more than
enough for Burleigh, no matter what
the opposition. .
The Dodgers settled the argument
in the very first inning by knocking
Haines out of the box. Haines retired
I after two put-outs. In his brief stay
; he handed out a couple of passes and
was smeared for five hits. Against
him the Dodgers launched a sortie
that never ended till the last man was
out.
