Four Pitchers Unable to Tame Jennings Sluggers,
T. Raymond Cobb Alone Getting Five Hits in
Six Times at Bat; Ping Bodie Fails in Pinch
By W. O. McGeehan
The Yanks continued to lead a life of shame at the Polo Grounds
yesterday. Three or four of their pitchers were messed up by the Tigers,
principally by Mr. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, of Georg-ia, who got five smashes
out of six times up. Ehmke folded up in the eighth and the Yanks cut
do*wn some of the lead only to lose cut by the score of 11 to 9.
It doesn't take second sight and a
newly oiled ouija board to arrive at
the conclusion that unless tho Yanks
start a pennant drive in the very near
future they might as well put it off
until next season, when they may feel
rested up. Also unless the machine is
reassembled in short order the junk
man is going to drive up to the rear
entrance of the Polo Grounds and drive
away with the team, and nobody would
be able to blame the junk man for a
natural mistake?least of all the owners,
who have been reduced to a very morbid
. state of mind.
The Yanks did wake up once yester?
day in the eighth inning, but they
yawned and rolled over under the covers
again. In that one session they
started with tho Tigers leading by
the score of 10 to 5 and finished by
cutting the lead down to 10 to 9.
This was the only thrill that the
3G.O00 customers got during the after?
noon, for Babe Kuth did not get his
forty-fourth home run, nor did he
come anywhere close to getting it.
Meusel Gets Scratch Hit
Ehnike. who has been rather glory?
ing in the monicker of Nemesis of the
Yanks, went limp with the humidity in
that eighth and a parade of snoring
Yanks went asleep walking around the
bases. Ward and Kuel chopped a
couple of singles to start with. Lank
Bob Meusel tossed away his crutches
and, seizing a bat, scratched a hit, to
short, tilling the bases, while Chick
Fewster took his place on the bag.
Peckinpaugh got a base on balls and
forced in one of the runs. This called
for an inquest by the Detroit board of
strategy, which pronounced Ehmke null
and void for the rest of the afternoon.
Red Oldham, the veteran portsider.
took the helm for a little while, but
the Yanks kept coming. With Pipp
out Ruth got his base on balls and
Ruel scored. Pratt slammed one that
was juggled by Bush and Fewster
scored.
This brought about another field
consultation, the verdict bein_- that
Rod Oldham never should have been
taken out of dry.dock, and Ayers was
sent in to wind" the thing up. Lewis
forced Ruth at third and Peckinpaugh
scored. Th;.? brought up Ping Bodie,
the hitherto Wonderful Wop, with th*
chance to tie even to win right then
and there. The haughty Signer Pizzola
pranced up eating tobacco and breath?
ing defiance, but shortly after he slunk
to the dug-out, his spirit utterly
crushed, for thero in the pinch with
the multitudes clamoring for a hit tho
Wonderful Won struck out.
Right then and there the chances
of the Yanks petered out and afar in
the distance one could almost hear
the grim and ghostly pealing of the
junk man's bell. "Giddap," it seemed
to say. "Another ioad of junk."
In the ninth the Detroit team got
in another run and made the thing
official and conclusive. Ping Pinelli,
the Wistful Wop of Detroit, slipped a
hit through Bob Tho Gob Shawkey's
mitt. Ayers got after Bob 1"he Gob
hard with a two-base hit to left cen?
ter that scored the wop of Detroit.
The same Mr. Ayers blocked anything
like a rally on the part of the Yanks
in the ninth, if the Yanks were dis?
posed to rally.
Great Afternoon for Tyrus
It was a great afternoon for Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, who hit with vehe?
mence and when hits counted. Tho.
Polo Grounds multitude having been
informed that Cobb disclaimed any
part in the campaign against Carl
Mays, gave Cobb a more kindly greet?
ing. But greetings, whether they be
brickbats or bouquets, do not discon?
cert the Georgian to any marked ex?
tent.
T. Raymond drove in the first run
in the lirst inning. Young started
with a base on balls and went to sec?
ond on Bush's sacrifice. Cobb's first
hit was chopped over Ward's head and
brought in the opening run. The
Yanks got two in their half of tha
first inning. Peckinp^igh drew abase
on bulls, Pipp plastered a hit to left
center and Ruth got a base on balls
filling tho infield with Yanks, Pratt
raised a fly to right and Peckinpaugh
, scored. Pipp scored on a rather
scratchy hit past third by Ward.
The Tiges tied it up again in the
second, and then they started to forge
ahead. Shorten opened the second with
a two-bagger and scored when John
1'icus Quinn picked up Jones's bunt
and threw it away. In the third the
Tiges got a coui?lo more runs. Bush
and Cobb started with singles. Yeach
forced Cobb, and Bush scored. Singles
by Heilman and Jones sentVeach home.
In the fourth the 'Piges chased Mr.
John Picus Quinn out of the place. He
was yanked after being nicked by Young
and Bush. Young Herbert Thormahlen
was dragged in for the slaughtering
and was greeted by Ty Cobb's third hit
for the afternoon. The smash scored
one run. With Veach out on a long fly,
Heilman hit and scored Bush, while
Cobb dashed to third. Flagstead went
in to bat for Shorten and drew a base
on balls, filling the corners, while the
multitude wept.
At this point of the pastime Miller
Huggins, scanning the bull pen, saw
the lean figure of Long Ernie Shore.
Who is that big guy?" he demanded.
That s Shore, a pitcher," somebody'
told him.
t Hale Hits in Pinch
I "Well, if he's a pitcher and working
f for us, send him in," Hu?rins is said
to have ordered. Whereupon Long
Ernie, a little self-conscious over the
fact that his trousers had been worn
thin to the point of transparency from
sitting on the Yankee bench, went out
to plug the leak in the dike with liia
digits. lie faced Hale, pinch hitter
und Hale lifted a Texas Leaguer be?
hind second that scored Cobb and Heil?
man.
The Yanks got a run apiece in the
fourth and fifth. In the fourth Ping
Bodie whaled a mighty triple to center

and scored on Ward's hit. In the fifth
Peckinpaugh led with a double and
scored on a couple of out?. T. Ray?
mond Cobb conducted a run across for
tho Tinos in tho sixth, lie doubled to
left and scored on a double by Heil
tnan. Duffy Lewis drove in a lone run
for the Yanks in the seventh, and the
Tiges goc ono more in the eighth when
Bush got a base on balls and was sent
over by a hit by Cobb and a long fly by
Veach.
The Yanks made their only showing
of the doleful afternoon in the eighth.
After that there was a clanking as
though a load of junk had passed by.

Moeskops Surprises
Fans by Defeating
Kramer at Newark
Pete Moeskops, the champion of
Holland, gave thousands of bicycle fans
at the Newark Velodrome yesterday a
big surprise by defeating Frank L.
Kramer in two straight heats of a
one-mile match race. ?\t previous race
meets Moeskops had defeated Jake
Mag?n, Alfred Grenda and Reggie Mc
Namara, but the fans did not expect
to see him have much of a chance !
against Kramer.
Moeskops, however, rode in a.master?
ly manner, taking the load a lap ano
a half from home in each heat, and
although Kramer got up even with
him on two occasions he could not
gwt by. ?
Oscar Egg, the Swiss rider, made
short work of Alfred Goullet in an
Australian pursuit match race. Egg
started from in front of the grand?
stand, while Goullet rode from tha cen?
ter of tho backstretch. Egg caught
Goullet after the race had gone three
miles.
Willie Spencer won the five-mile
class, a professional invitation, but
was disqualified for teaming with
Reggie McNamara, both riders being
suspended. First place was awarded
to Ray Eaton, with Jake Magin second
and Eddie Madden third.

Robbie's Men Bombard Ring
In Fifth Inning for Six Runs
Ray Fisher Checks Assault
but Flatbush Nme Holds
Its Advantage to End
Frojn a Special Correspondent
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 22.-?A
bating rally of six hits for six runs
in the ??ftli inning gave the Brooklyn
Dodgers to-day's game with the Cin?
cinnati Reds by 6 to ?>. The Reda
won the first two games of the series
and the Dodgers won the last two.
The crowd to-day was estimated at
2S.000 and completely filled the tem?
porary reserved seats in front of the
grandstand.
By winning to-day the Dodgers cut
the lead of the Reds fo? first place to
a fraction of a game. Uncle Robbie
led the Flatbush contingent to-night
to Pittsburgh for a series of three
games in three days, confident that
his men will oust the Reds from the
lead before the end of the week. The
victory to-day gave tho Dodgers new
confidence, which they badly needed.
All of Brooklyn's runs and six of
its eight hits came in the big fifth
inning. Five of the hits and the half
dozen runs were charged to Jimmy
Ring, the right hand hurler, whose
homo is in Brooklyn. A sacrifice fly
and a single in the same stanza were
charged to Ray Fisher, who relieved
Ring.
Texas Pitcher Performs Wei!
It was well that the Dodgers accom?
plished so much against Ring befort
Manager .'Moran could pull him out
as they made no hits off Fisher in th<
sixth and seventh, and they shared thi
same fate at the hands of Charle?
Napier, u, right harrder from the Texai
League, in the eighth and ninth. Rin(
had allowed two scattered hits in tin
first four innings and his explosion ii
the fifth came without warning.

and all of the Red-' eight hits an
three runs were made off'"' him belei?
he was relieved in the [seventh b

Cadore was the winning pitcher, bu
he began to weaken after the Red
made two hits off him in the fifth. .
double play retired the side in th
seventh while Mamaux was on th
hill, and Mamaux retired the Reds i
order in the eighth and ninth.
It was an errorless contest that w?
! furnished for the big crowd, but thei
were few sensational ?day-, exce]
for a wonderful stop by Kilduff bai

T?ney Outlasts Jim Vaughn
In a Keen Pitchers ' Battle
Big -New York Hoxmnn Allows Only Four Hits
While Chicago Il?val Cives but Six Up to
Eleventh Inning; Kelly Knocks Out Home Run
By R, J. Kelly
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.?The Giants moved another game nearer the
league-leading Reds by winning the third and deciding game of the series
with the Cubs here to-day by a score of 4 to 1. Young's double, a passed
ball and a single by Frisch in the eleventh inning sent the deciding run
across, but Long'George Kelly's home run in the same round gave the
McGraw man two extra tallies.
The game was hard fought from ?
start, to finish, nnd it reminded the 18,
000 fans of one of the oldtime battles
between the traditional rivals. South?
paw Jim Vaughn and big Fred Toney
hooked up in one of their famous pitch?
ing duels. Roth seemed wellnigh in?
vincible until the eleventh, when the
former cracked badly and the Giants
proceeded to settle the outcome.
Toney gave one of his best exhibi?
tions of the current campaign. He
yielded only four hits, and these wore
distributed in as many innings. After
the seventh inning he hold the home
players hitlcss. In addition his mates
accorded him fine support.
Terry Shines in Fieldling
Vauftbn was found for only six
safeties up to the fatal eleventh, and
no two of those came in any one inn?
ing. With tho exception of the first
and fifth innings, he also was well sup?
ported, particularly on the part of
Terry.
The Giants were presented with a
one-run lead in the very first inning.
After Burns had struck out, Bancroft
reached first on Terry's error, Young
hit one to Friberg, and the latter tried
to force out Bancroft, at second, but
Dave beat the throw to the bag. After
fouling off a half dozen balls, Frisch !
hoisted to Flack and Bancroft sprinted ?
to third after the catch, Bancroft then
scored and Young reached second on ;
a double steal. Kelly drew a has- on
balls, but King fanned for the third
out.
The McGraw men had a fine chance to
shove another run across in the fourth.,
but Vaughn turned them back. With
one out Kelly walked for the second
time. King forced Kelly at second on a <
grounder to Friberg. Doyle poked a
single to center, but Snyder popned to
Terry.
After going- hitless for the first three
inninp-s the Cubs broke Toner's spell
in their half of the fourth and evened
the count. After Terry had ;;one out
on a tap to the box Robertson drew a
base on balls. Robbie then stole sec?
ond and continued to third when Sny?
der threw the ball to center field.
Toney pulled himself together an,!
fanned the dangerous .Morillo. Frisch
made a wonderful stop of Paskcrt's ter?
rific smash, but the runner beat the
throw to first, Robertson scoring. Deal
brought the inning to a close by forcing
Paskert at second on a grounder to
Bancroft.
Vaughn Gets l'oor Support
Vaughn received some wretched sun
port in the fifth, and he was very lucky
to hold the Giants score-ess in that
inning. With one out Burns lifted an
easy fly to Friberg, who dropped the
ball, allowing George to roach second.
Bancroft was safe on Deal's fumble.
Young thon poked a line drive right
into Deal's hands and Burns was
doubled off third.
Davey Robertson helped Vaughn con?
siderably in the sixth, when he pulled
down King's drive to the left field fence
after Kelly had singled over second.
Merkle slammed a double off the right
field wall with two ont. kn the Cubs'
half of the sixth, but it went for
nought, as Frisch and Kelly tinned
back Paskert on a fast play.
Tho Cubs became a trifle menacing
in the seventh, but once again Toney
tightened up. Deal, the first batter,
beat out a slow bounder to Frisch.
Twombly batted for Erlberg and
struck out. O'Farrell fouled to Snyder
and Vaughn went out on a splash ?::
front of the plate.
Burns shot a single to left in the
seventh with two out, but he was
thrown out stealing a moment later.
Frisch also singled in the eighth,with
two down, but he also was nailed in
attempting tho same stunt.
Snyder opened the ton: h with a single
through Tony and Spencer was sent in
to run for him. Toney. however, prompt?
ly and neatly hunted into a double play,
Vaughn to Terry to Merkle. Burns
then died out to Flack.
With one out in tho eleventh, Young
smashed a double to left and sprinted
to third on a passed ball. Frisch came
through with a single over second, scor?
ing Young. Kelly then slammed one
over the right tiold wall for a home
run, sending Frisch home ahead of
him. King continued the bombardment,
with a single to left. Doyle then
struct out and King was caught steal?
ing.
Young prevented nossible trouble in
the Cubs; half of the eleventh, when
he made a great jumping catch of
Flack's drive against the right field
wall. The Giants left for St. I ouis to?
night to open a four-game series with
Branch Rickey's Cardinals to-morrow.

Victory of Mohawk
Gives Critcliley
Commodore Cup
Vice-Commodore Critchlcy's Mohawk
was the winner of the annual race for
the commodore's cup, held under the
auspices of the Tamaqua Yacht Club
yesterday. The race was IS1* nautical
miles over an ocean course that took
the craft from the starting line, o?
Manhattan Beach, to the Whistle Buoy,
off Rockaway Point, thence to and
around' Scotland Lightship and thence
back to the starting line.
Not only was it an ocean race, but
the brush developed into one of deep
sea navigation. A thick fog hung over
the old ?\tlantic throughout the day,
making it impossible for the craft to
see any of the turning marks until
they were within a few hundred feet
of the buoys.
Owing to the fog, the race was more
or less of a farce. William Bend's
Champ II should have been the winner.
She made the bc:U actual time over the
course, but lost many valuable minutes
through poor navigation. The yachts
started on their handicap time?, the
first craft homo being the winner.
