Yankees Defeat White Sox in Twelfth ? Giants Win and Tie ? Dodgers Now First
Ifugmen Suddenly Wake Up
And Play Snappy Game
Carl Mays Holds Own in Duel With Cicotte Until
Ninth; Quinn Finishes on Mound and Gets
Credit f or'Vietory ; Bodie and McMullen1 Wrangle
By W. O. McGeehan
The jui?k man who has been lingering near the Polo Grounds for the
last few days expecting Colonels Ruppert and Huston to sell him th?
Yanks said "Giddap" to his nag yesterday and drove away in a huff.
The Yanks won a twelve-reel thriller from tho White Sox and ceased to
resemble iunk in any resuect. Tied in the ninth and headed in the tenth,
They stopped the rush of the Sox, and won the game in the twelfth by the
score of 6 to 5.
Carl Mays held his own in a duel?
with pitcher Cicotto of tho Sox until
the ninth, when the bittling Sox
started to paste him. He was yanked
for a pincher in the tenth) little Sammy
Vick,-who led the drive to a tic with
a two-bagger. There were no borne
runa by Babe Ru It, because Mr. Ruth
did not participate in the pastime. He
was bitten by an inf riated mosquito
Beveral days ago and is threatened
wit.i an attack of the Jersey Jiggers,
which is a form of dry hydrophobia.
While the gam^ was going on there
was a side battle that threatened
numerous fatalities. McMullin, of the
White Sox, coaching at first base, hit
Ping Bodie behind the ear with a hand?
ful of aspersions. The Wonderful Wop
invited him out behii d the clubhouse
to have it out on straight Marquis of
Raspberry Rules. They left the ?ame
flat and started out of the lot, but peace
delegates from both clubs dragged
them back. They were breathing de?
fiance with short pants for the rest
of the game.' This bout may be the
next staged at the Lambs A. C.
Qnlnn Lays Down Bunt
The winning run in the twelfth in?
ning was scored against little Dick
Kerr, who made the Yankee nannies
bleat with angtiish on the previous day.
Ruel nicked him for a hit past third
end John Ficus Quinn laid down a use?
ful sacrifice, for Peckinpaugh came up
?ext with a clout to left that scored
Rue! and caused the Yanks to pause in
their career of shame.
Mays got a big hand when he came
out for the first time. He pitched a
g-od game, after looking wabbly in
the first until the ninth, when he" be?
gan to show signs that he needed help.
In the first inning, with one out, Ed?
ward Trowbridge Collins singled to
left and went to third on a heavy swipe
by Shoeless Joseph Jackson." Hap
Felsch brcught Collins home with an?
other single. It looked as though Mays
might be pounded.
The Yanks came rieht back in their
half and tied the score. With Peckin?
paugh out, Pipp was presented with a
base on balls. Lank Bob Meusel, still !
wearing his graceful limp and under?
studying Babe Ruth, came through with
a two-bagger that sent Tipp to third.
Pipp scored on Pratt's out.
In the second inning the Sox flashed
into the lead again. Schalk led with a
single, and Cicotte. the former shiner,
got himself a two-bagger to left. Ed?
ward Collins came through with one of
those frequent singles and Schalk j
scored. Buck Weaver brought Cicotte !
home with a single.
In the third Peckinpaugh got a base i
on balls and scurried to third when
Wallie Pipp hit to right. Lank Bob
Meusel lifted one that looked good for
many bases, but Hap Felsch speared it
and Peckinpaugh dashed in with a run.
Launch Drive on Cicotte
In the fourth inning the Yanks made
something of a drive on Mr. Edward
Cicotte. Duffy Lewis started it with [
? single, but was forced by Ping Bodie,
the Wonderful Wop. Ward lined out
to center. Muddy Ruel singled and
sent Bodie to third. Mays, who has
been connecting quite frequently this
season, brought Bodie home with a !
single. PecKii.paugh slashed a long!
one to left field and Ruel scored. Mays j
tried to come homo on the same smash i
and might have made it, but he re-1
fused to slide and a fine throw caught
him at the plate standing up.
From then on to the ninth May.?, and j
Cicotte were engaged in the pitchers'
duelling bus'-ncsa. Then the Sox
rushed the Yanks. With Murphy, a |
pincher out, Amos Strunk hit safely, i
Edward Collins >'rove a single over
second ir j right. Weaver cracked a!
double to right, Strunk tallying and
the score was tied in the ninth.
Then the fight started in earnest. |
With one out in the tenth inning, Ray!
Schalk socked out a two-bagger. Ward j
made a pretty stop of what looked like;
a sure nit by Wilkinson, the second i
White Sox pitcher. Then Amos Strunk, ?
the ex-Apathetic, came through with a ;
clash into right that scored Schalk and j
pot the Sox a run in the lead.
Back came the Yanks in the same in- !
ning. Sammy Vick was pried to? ^e from ;
his moorings in the dugout to ba?. for)
Mays, and our little Sammy soaked a
two-bagger along the right field line.
Fewster went out to run for him. Pi-ck
Inpaugh was thrown out by Eddie Col-1
11ns, but Walter Tipp singled to left |
and scored the run that tied. Lank |
Bob Meuaol lifted one so far into left;
center field that the ball seemed about ?
to drop into the center field bleachers.)
But it was just a trifle high, and Felsch
got it against the buck wall.
With the Sux up hi the twelfth the
Yank fans had a case of heart failure
caused by John Picus Quinn. With
one out and one on John made a heave
that would have rolled 'o Warsaw if
it hadn't rolled into thf; Sox dugout,
and Risberg, the soulful Swede, went
to third on it. Jourdan, batting for
Wilkinson, lashed one to Peckinpaugh,
who threw to the plate and the Swede
was pinned by Ruel an inch from the
dish. The Yanks were saved by that
margin.
Then came the charge of the Yanka
headed by-Ruel's single and finished
by Pipp's smash to left. The fifteen
thousand odd customers were limp
from the strain by this time.
The Bodie-McMullin incident is not
yet closed. The gladiators are won?
dering whether or not Tex Rickard
would consider the match for some off
night in the Garden. To-day martial
music will be furnished by a riveters'
hand made up of veterans who riveted
side by side with Ping Bodie, the Won?
derful Wop, during the great war. The
band has had all its rehearsals in the
boiler riveting factory and has not yet
heard itself.

White Sox Refuse
To Boycott Mays,
Who Pitches Game
The White Sox will not boycott Carl
Mays. They gave positive proof of that
yesterday. Not only did they infor?
mally agree not to heed any petition
that may be in circulation to bar the
New York pitcher from playing, but
they batted against the twirler who un?
fortunately threw the ball that killed
Rn;.- Chapman.
Manager Gleaaon is very much
against the move to boycott Mays and
says his players feel the same way
about the matter. He declares it is un?
just and cowardly to attempt such agi?
tation at this time, when the New York '
pitcher is in need of sympathy.
Asked about the report that some of
the clubs in the league were petition
ini to boycott Mays Colonel Jacob
Ruppert, part owner of the Yankees,
pointed to the box where Mays was
pitching and said:
"There is our answer. Mays is pitch?
ing and will continue to pitch in his
regular turn."

Hilidales Strengthened
For Games With Bears
Word was received here yesterday
that the Hilldale team of Philadelphia,
which is carded to met Jeff Tesreau's
Bears at Dyckman Oval, near the
Dyckman Street subway station, to?
morrow afternoon, has signed two star
players of the Indianapolis Giants,
champions of tho Middle West, and that
these players will make their debut
with the Hilidales here.
Tho Hilidales yesterday won their
third consecutive game of the week in
Philadelphia. Santop and Francis,
former stars cf the Lincoln and Royal
Giants, each connected for a "home run.
The Hilidales a few weeks ago broke
even with the Bears in the first game
of their series. % A I

The Start ?and Finish
A pink-tinted beginning and a victorious finish are not always
directly connected.
It is always well enough to get away neatly, but with a long stretch
in front of you this swift starting stuff may work with backspin or
reverse English.
There is the case of Jim Barnes and Walter Hagen.
Early last spring they were in a class beyond much competition.
Hagen was open champion and Barnes professional champion.
Barnes finished fifth in tho British open, and Hagen, after a bad
splash there, won the Metropolitan open again.
Barnes?Hagen?and no one else.
But what about subsequent details?
Hagen finished well out in the late open and Barnes was promptly
deposed in the P. G. A. championship. Both lost their main title without
making it close.
?And as they faded out Jock Hutchison, playing badly early ?n the
spring, steps forward with easily the best record of the year?Western
champion, only one stroke out in the open championship, and now profes?
sional champion at match play.
Jock had the slow start and the pink finish. And it's where they
all happen to be at the finish that usually settles the arguments. They
rarely pay off on .starts.
Another Example
Four ball clubs hold most of the interest through the first three
months of the pennant race.
Cincinnati and Brooklyn were fighting out the National League
championship, with Cleveland and New York in a hammerloek for the
American League pennant.
No great amount of attention was paid to the Giants and White
Sox. The Giants pray??d lop-eared ball for the first two months, while
the Sox iagge-) well behind.
Through May, June and early July neither club figured in any world
series argument.
They may not meet in a world series now, but they ard no longe,
negligible factors. In spito of their ragged start, what other two clubs
carry a stronger chance?
Holding Form
There's a reason, as the snappy saying goes. Reaching top form foi
one set affair isn't so hard.
But where a long all-season drive must be faced the problem o:
reaching and holding form is the hardest assignment on the map. Cleve
land looked to outclass the league as far back as last March. But Marc]
and October are many gray leagues apart in sport.
Hagen and Barnes began training for the British championshi]
back in February. By August neither looked to be the same golfer.
Years ago West Point went out to beat Yale early in October. B;
training for this battle the Army team trimmed the Bulldog consistently
But having reached winning form early in October, the same team wa
unusually easy picking fur the Navy.
You can't hold top form indefinitely. A ball game won in April an
early May is as valuable as a ball game won in September, but club
leading the league in April or early May rarely win pennants.
It's a tidy idea to start setting the pace in a hundred-yard dash. Bu
when it comes to a ten-mile ruce the pace setter gets the worst of it.
Tilden's Case
Tilden faces this same problem at Forest Hills next week in th
turf tennis championship.
He reached spectacular form two months ago. He was at his be?
in the British championship. And at his best he is next to invincible.
Can he return to his best again for another big week? It is neithc
easy to hold top form nor to ease away and then come back in the san
year. It may be that he has turned tho trick?or that his tennis genii
is sufficient to take him safely through.
Johnston was hardly at his best either at Wimbledon or at Newpor
He seems to come along gradually until the week of the big event ovt
here, at which point he, too, becomes close to invincibility.
The fact that he was beaten once or twice before may work in h
favor through the week of the main carnival.

For Cubs9 Defeat
By Double in 8th
Pram o Special Correspondent
CHICAGO, Aue. 27.?The Brooklyns !
defeated the Cubs here this afternoon
by a score of 6 to 3 and moved Into I
first place. Both sides hit harder than
the score indicates, each making four- !
teen hits. Jeff Pfeffer, Robbie's big I
right-hander, was on the slab for the
Brooklyns, and he lasted the entire dis- '
tance, but in only one Inning did he
succeed in retiring the Cubs in order.
Claude Hendrix started for the Cubs,
and in the eighth gave way to a pinch
hitter, and Carter finished the game.
The Brooklyns fielded in a spectacu?
lar manner, and five times brought
Pfeffer out of tight spots with double !
plays. It was one of the best fielding I
games played by the Brooklyns this !
season.
The Cube started to hit Jeff right off I
the reel, and in the opening inning
pushed a run over the plate. Flack
started by drawing a pass, and he went
to third on Terry s single. Robertson
sent a sacrifice fly to Wheat that scored
Flack. But Terry, who tried to reach
second after the catch, was nipped ?
going into the hag.
Deal and Herxog, the first two men
to face Jeff In the second inning, hit !
safely, and the bases were filled when j
Pfeffer fumbled OTarrell's bunt. As |
Hendrix was hitting: into the second :
double play of the game Deal crossed !
the plate.
In the third round the Robins tied j
the score, when Pfeffer walked and ran j
to third on Olson's single. Johnston
hit to Hendrix and Pfeffer was trapped j
going home. He dashed back toward j
third, and when CFarrell threw to'
Deal the latter tagged out Olson going
to third. Pfeffer turned for the plate
and was safe when Hendrix dropped
to? 'throw. Johnston took second on
the play and scored on Griffith's two
bftcgor to left.
In the fourth frame the Robins went
into the lead when Myers doubled, and |
scored ?n Koney's sacrifice and KU
duff's single past Merkle. The Cubs
evened the count in their half of the
frame when they continued to bombard
Pfeffer. Hersog doubled and ran to
third on ?in infield oat. He was chased
over tho plate when Flack singled to
center. Flack tried to steal second,
but was thrown out. It was a close
play and the'Cuba protested. Umpire
Emslie won tho argument and Flack
was chased out of the game.
In the eighth frame the DodgerB
staged a rally, and it netted them three
tallies. Griffith was safe when Merkle
dropped Perry's throw, and when ,
Wheat beat out an infield hit Griffith |
reached second. Neis went in to run
for Griffith and Myers sacrificed. ?
Koney followed with a two-barger and
Neis and Wheat romped over the plate.
Koney went to third on Kilduff's out
and Miller scored him with a Bingle
over second. Tho score:

Second Game Is Called
By R. J. Kelly
CINCINNATI, Aug. 27.~-Tbo Giants
yanked the champion Reds out of first
place by winning the first game of a
double-header in the seventeenth inn?
ing hero to-day by a score of 6 to 4.
The second game was called off on ac?
count of darkness at the end of the
fifth inning with the teams deadlocked
at 0 to 0. The victory put the McGraw
men only two games behind the home
players.
Cincinnati is "all het op" over the
"croocial" series with the New York?
ers and more than 18,000 rabid rooters
jammed their way into Redland field
to-day. Both games were marred by
several near riotous scenes. The
haughty Reds acted in their usual dis?
graceful way whenever anything went
wrong. Despite the many arguments
none of the players on either team
was banished from the field.
Shuft?in' Phil'Douglas, who was on
the mound in the second contest, went
along at a great rate and yielded only
one hit. Rube Bressler, his opponent,
was found for five and he was lucky to
hold the visitors scoreless.
The Giants went out in part with
a rush in the seventeenth inning.
Young beat out a slow roller to Crane.
Frisch popped to Crane, but Kelly
it Young to third with a Bingle to
right. Spencer grounded to Daubert
and Young was caught between third
and the plate. While Young was be?
ing run down, Kelly reached third and
Spencer took second, Doyle then
scored both runners with a two bag?
ger to center. Smith grounded to
Groh for the third out.
There was some more excitement in
the Reds' half of the final inning
After Bressler, who batted for Fisher,
aad grounded out to Frisch, Groh hit
one toward Doyle but failed to run
toward fir.-t, claiming that Earl Smith
had interfered with his swing. Um?
pire Rigtcr refused to allow the pro?
test and the champions squawked
aloud with indignation.
The first contest was an exciting
pitching duel between Artie Nehf, the
expensive southpaw, and Ray Fisher,
who used to Bport the livery of the
Yankees. Both received wonderful sup?
port. The former allowed fifteen hits
and the latter yielded eighteen. Fisher
weakened badly in the final inning,
when the visitors bunched three hits
and clinched the game.
The Giants wasted little time in get?
ting started in the first game, shoving
two runs across in the very first in?
ning. Burns, the first batter, drew a
base on balls and advanced to second
on Bancroft's infield out. Young beat
out a bunt toward first base and
Frisch came through with a sharp sin?
gle off Crane's glove, scoring Burns
Kelly followed with another single tc
center, scoring Young. Frisch took
third on Spencer's grounder to Crane
but Doyle .lied to Duncan for the third
out.
The Reds came right back in theii
half and took the lead by scoring three
runs. Groh walked and reached sec?
ond on Daubert's single over second
Roush shot a single to center, on which
Groh scored. Both runners advanced
on Duncan's sacrifice, Frisch to Doyle
who covered first. Neale hoisted a flj
to Spencer and Daubert completed th*
circuit after the catch. Eddie Sicking
formerly of the Giants, drove a singk
to right and Roush beat Young's throw
to the plate. Cran? ended tho agonj
by grounding out to Bancroft.
There was a little excitement in th?
fourth inning when the McGraw met
evened the count. Spencer, the firs
batter, drove one to right 'eld, ant
Neale tried to make a shoestr.ng grab
Umpire Harrison ruled that Sp'iico:
was out, as the ball had been caight
Umpire Rigler, who was ofi:!ut;?g be
hind the plate, promptly reversed th?
decision, and the home players put ui
an awful how], but to no avail. Whei
peace was finally restored Doyle drovi
a double to right center, puttinj
Spencer on third.
Smith scored Spencer with a single
to center, but Doyle held second, as i
looked as if Roush would catch th
pellet. Nehf tried to sacrifice, bu
forced Doyle at third on a bunt t
Fisher. Burns then fouled out to Gro]
and Allen caught Bancroft's foul fi
near the stands.

with a single to right and Doy> fol?
