Yankees Defeat Browns and Giants Again Triumph Over Reds, but Dodgers Lose to Cubs Hugmen Take Second Place At the Expense of Shocker Carl Mays Replaces Jack Quiim in Sixth Inning and Checks Onslaught of Browns; Ward's Hit in the Ninth Scores Winning Run B^TW. O. McGeehan The Yankees beat the St. Louis Browns in the ninth inning of a moist, muddy and acrimonious game at tho Polo Grounds yesterday and moved into second place. They beat Urban Shocker, who has been poison <o them ever since he was sold down the river to St. Louis. Carl Mays went in after the showers washed everything that the venerable Jack Quinn had on the pill right out of the lot, and there was no strike. After strik? ing out three times Ward drove the winning run over with a double to light field in tho ninth. The rain made it touch for the ? Polish Hibernian, Mr. John Picus Quinn. If it had not been for that shower the venerable Jack would have been a bigger hero than he was on the afternoon ho held the Cleveland In dians and beat Coveleskie with a home run into the right field Btand. Jack is one of the licensed spitters. a legal distributer of tho moist de? livery, but Jack must moisten the ball himself. When ho is handed a pill that is moistened by the elements he is just as big a sap as Samson Coming out of a barber shop with his hair badgered. The paradoxical part of Jack's moist delivery is that he has to have dry weather to deliver it in. Quinn Strong <S^r Fire Innings For five innings Jack, backed by some fine fielding on the part of tho Yanks, held Urban Shocker safe. Then he re? peated the feat that he achieved with Coveleskie. In the Yanks' half of the fiith, with Muddy Ruel on second as the result of a two-bagger propelled by his 'own bat, Jack lined a homer into ihe right field stands. Then the rain started to descend heavily and the countenance of Mr. Quinn registered worriment. The shower bumped J. Picus Quinn quite as hard as it bumped the late N. Bonaparte at Waterloo. The pill became soggy and Mr. Quinn could not apply his own venom to it with any degree of effectiveness because of the constant adulteration with rain water. Disaster overtook the stalwart Polish Hibernian, and the Browns went into the lead. With one out in the sixth William? drove a long three-bagger to right. Smith singled to right and Williams scored. J. Picus Quinn, began to skid right off his pedastal and looked to the dugout for succor. Disaster continued to accumulate. Tobin rolled one down the third base line and was safe. Severeid cut one past Quinn into right field and Smith scored, tying it up, making the home run of John Quinn look like a mere episode instead of an epic. The rain vas descending heavily as the Yankee board of strategy assembled at the box and decided that Quinn's spitter could no longer compete with the elements. Carl Mays was sent for and was given a big reception as he stalked up the field. There was some excitement for a while- as the spectators recalled the strike threat of the Browns against him. But that had all been settled in the morning. The Browns ha?l met on receipt of the message from the presi? dent of the American League and de? cided to call off the proposed strike as far as they were concerned. With Mays in the box Shocker chopped one down to short and was safe when Peckinpaugh juggled the pill. Gerber drove one to left and it looked like a clean hit, but Duffy Lewis made a fine peg to Ruel and Tobin was forced out at the plate. Gedeon, another ex-Yank, rapped one down to third and Ward seemed to have it easily enough, but he let the ball carom off one shoe, rolling into left field. Severeid scored and Shocker tried to follow him, but Ruel got the throw in time to pin him into the mud off the plate. Crowd Sticks Despito Rain The rain continued to pour, but most of the customers, about 35,000 in all, refused to take to cover. In the sev? enth Ping Bodie, the Wonderful Wop. lifted one out to left center. The heads of two of the Brown outfielders came together with a sound like the clicking of the ivory balls at Jack Doyle's, while the pill dropped to the ?round and Ping Bodie got a two-bast hit for it. Aaron Ward struck out again, and by this time it was so exc?s sively moist that Lightning Bill Din peen, the Storm King, called a cessa? tion in the pastime. The fans went under the stands t< brood over the fact that if the moist ure persisted the game would revert tc the previous inning and that the ver diet would be, "Yanks poisoned agaii by Urban Shocker." Henery Fabiai spread his canvas and there was i three-quarter hour wait. With the game resumed Bodie wen to third on Ruel's out. This brough up Carl Mays, who drove a wicked hi down to first. The ball took a meai bound and struck George Sisler on th? cheek, raising an ugly bruise. Th? wonderful wop slushed across th' plate and the score was tied. The Yanks broke through in th< ninth. Lewis slashed one down t? Smith, who stopped the ball, but mad a high heave to Sisler anil the Beai Brumel of the Yanks was safe. Bodi< dumped a sacrifice down to Shocker Then Ward retrieved himself for th error and his ineffectiveness with th ?tick in the previous innings. H caught one on the end of his bat an drove it to right field near the wall fo a two-bagger and Lewis strolled horn with the winning run. Ovation for the Babe Babe Ruth, with his Boupbone hane ing limply in a sling, entered the stand while the gamo was on and was give a greeting that would make both c the Presidential candidates realize ths they were comparatively very slightl known to the multitude. When h started to walk out through th field a bigger procession of admirer trailed in his wake than ever trailo John L. Sullivan when John L. wa knocking assorted jaws loose froi their sockets at so much per copy. Young Mr. Shocker, the Yankee favorite poison, was a little peovis about everything in general yfsterda Ho collided forcibly and unnecessarii with Peckinpaugh and when he wa tagging out Mr. J.

Ross Asks Lipton To Withdraw His Yachting Challenge MONTREAL, Aug. 29.?An "open j letter" to Sir Thomas Lipton urging:: him to withdra v "his declared inten-1 tion to compete again for the Ameri-1 ca's cup in 1 ?>1_ 1 or 1922, in favor of a Canadian challenger, or to agree in a proposal to make the next race a tri-! angular contest," was made publichere to-day by A. C. Ross, Canadian yachts? man. Mr. Ros?, who is promoter of a scheme under which a Canadian yacht, publicly subscribed for and to be de? signed, manned and skippered by Canadians, shall compete through a recognized yacht club, also asks the Irish baronet "at the same time to mu- ! tually press upon the New York Yacht Club the great desirability for a change from a semi-inside to an altogether outside sailing course and for an en? tirely different clas3 of yacht for these races." "The failure of Shamrock IV and Resolute to measure up to the require? ments for a really stiff breeze," Mr. Ross added, "has resulted in dwindling public interest due to the 'funk' of both yachts on that one particular date when conditions offered an op? portunity for a prime test of both con? struction and seamanship." Rowers Gathering At Harlem River For Big Regatta With the Middle States regatta to be rowed on the Harlem on Labor Day close at hand, the river was the scene yesterday of much activity. Every club ! along Sculler Row had its entries out j with coaches, and several clubs had ! visitors from outfits off the Harlem, j who wanted to get a little practice on ! the Speedway course, over which the ! regatta will be rowed. Major interest In the work-outs cen- ; tered in the eights, which in recent j years have been something of a rarity ] on the Harlem. The Metropolitan I ? ight, with such veterans as Fred ' 1 Shepherd and Ryan in the shell, had a two-mile row. The Union eight had a brush with a couple of fours. The New Rochelles, N'ew York Athletic Club, Norton, of Worcester, and several Philadelphia clubs will oppose the | "Mets" and the Unions on Labor Day. The river had quite a number of singles in action, among them being Zoha, of the. Bohos; Heller, of the Atalantas, and Dave Antras, who came over from the Actives, of Edgewater, for a trial on the regatta course. The Actives announced yesterday several entries for the races. They will have \V. B. Wilson and J. Ulendinning in the 140 double to oppose stars from the Lone Star Club. E. Eichholtz is en? tered for the junior singles. The Ac? tives occupy the old Columbia Univer? sity quarters at Edgewater. Disbrow Lead?

ByBwcas Tyler and Change of Pace Too Much for Robbie's Men One-Hand Catch by Davey Robertson in 9th Saves Chicago From Defeat From a Special Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 29.?George Tyler and his change of pace humbled the Brooklyn Dodgers to-day, and the Cubs took the last gamo of the series by 4 to ?, giving them an even break in four games with the league leaders. The Dodgers left to-night for St. Louis, where they open to-morrow with a double-header. They won seven of the eleven games they were scheduled to play in Chicago this year. Al Mamaux started for the Dodgers to-day and lasted six innings. He was taken out to allow Schmandt to bat for him in the seventh, and Schmandt flied to Robertson. Three runs were madt off Mamaux, but two of them were un? earned, coming in the second inning after the side would have been retire 1 if Olson had not made a two-base wild throw on Deal's grounder. The run earned off Mamaux was a homer into the left field bleachers by Deal off the first ball pitched in the fourth inning. Sherrod Smith officiated in the last three innings, and the winning run was compiled from his delivery in the ninth with one out. Smith spoke up for nis own cause by hitting a single in the eighth inning that sent home Kildufl with the run that tied the score at .': to :i at that stage. Grabs Ball Off Screen A one-hand catch by Davey Robertsoi off Bernie Neis in the ninth inning Davey going against the left fiele bleacher screen after the ball, was th< feature for the 9,000 fans. It robbe? Neis of a triple that would have tie? the score in the ninth, as Wheat fol lowed with a long single to right. Bob O'Farrell, who has been doin? deadly work against the Dodgers ii this series, behind the bat and wit! the bat, opened the ninth for Chicag with a single over Smith's head. Tyle tried to sacrifice and bunte?! to Smith Smith's throw to Olson was wide, bu Olson grabbed and fell on the grounc touching second with the ball an forcing O'Farrell. Flack singled t right, Tyler halting at second. Terr doubled on the right, foul line, scorin Tyler with the winning run. Brooklyn got away on the right foo by scoring off Tyler in the tirst inninj when the Dodgers made two of thei eleven hits off the veteran southpav Six of Brooklyn's eleven hits wer lucky, or scratches, and Tyler was mor effective than the totals show. With one out in the first, Johnsto for Brooklyn tore Deal's hands apar with a single. Neis flied to Flacl Wheat tripled to right, scoring John ston, and was left when Deal threw on Myers.

J. Kelly CINCINNATI, Aug. 29,?The Giant? continued their mad dash toward the lead in the keen struggle for the pennant by trouncing Pat Moran's Reds again to-day, thereby making a clean sweep of the series. The victory put the McGraw men only one point behind the champions, who are in second place. The final score was 4 to 1. The New Yorkers are now confident that after their final invasion of the West they will return to the Polo Grounds this week at the head of the pack. At the present time there is no team< In the league that is playing better ball than the Giants. They completely outclassed the champions throughout tho entire crucial series. The teams were slated to stage a double-header to-day, but it was decided to play only the regularly scheduled game because of the poor condition of the field due to heavy rainfalls. The postponed con? test will bo played when the Reds visit the Polo Grounds next month. Despite the threatening weather about 20,000 rabid rooters turned out for the game. Had the weather been clear all attendance records for Redland field would have undoubtedly been shattered, as the whole town had "steamed up" over the series and the advance sale of seats was probably the largest in the history of the park. Play on Muddy Field The game was played on a very mud? dy field, but that made little differ? ence to the flying Giants. They outhit and outfielded there opponents and their performance was a sight to be? hold. Frank - Frisch, whose playing has featured the entire Western trip thus far, clinched the game for the vis? itors in the fifth inning, when he scored Burns and Young with a timely single. Jesso Barnes, who performed in the box for the Giants, gave one of his best exhibitions of the current campaign. He held the home players to four very widely distributed hits and was abso? lutely invincible in the pinches. The Reds were utterly helpless be? fore tho skill and cunning of Barnes and, with the exception of the eighth inning, when they saved themselves from a shutout by shoving their lone run across on a scratch double and two infield outs, only one of their num? ber advanced as far as second base. Only two of the champions' hits were un*>ainted. Jimmy Ring, of Brooklyn, who was on the mound for the Reds, went along pretty well until the fifth, when the Giants bunched three hits and scored as many runs. Ring was hit rather freely thereafter and was finally taken out to allow See to bat for him in the eighth inning and Rube Bressler pitched the last inning. Manager Moran made several changes in his batting order, but they failed to produce the desired results. Heinie j Groh was dropped to third place on I the list and Roush and Duncan were I each moved down a peg. Rath played j second base and occupied the lead-off position. Eddie Sicking, the former Giant, was shifted from second to short and Crane was benched. Giants Lose Opportunity The Giants had an opportunity to take the lead in the second inning. After Kelly had popped to Daubert and Spencer had grounded out to Rath, I Doyle reached first on Rath's fumble. Smith shot a single to left, putting Doyle on second, but Barnes forced Smith at second on a grounder to Rath, j The McGraw men had a great chance j again in the third, but again they! failed. With one out, Bancroft, slammed a two-bagger to center and I took third on Young's smash to Dau? bert. Frisch then grounded to Rath for the third out. Kelly opened the fourth with a sin? gle past Groh, but Ring immediately j tightened. Spencer flied out to Dun- j can, Kelly was caught stealing and Doyle lined to Rath. The Giants broke through in the , fifth and took a commanding lead by ; shoving three runs across. Earl Smith, the first batter, drew a base on balls. | Barnes attempted to sacrifice, but I forced Smith at second on a bunt to ! Groh. Burns sent Barnes to second j with a sharp single to center. Ban-j croft was called out on strikes, but! Young slammed one through short and i it went for a double when Sicking kicked ! the ball as it sped past him. Barnes j completed the circuit and Burns took ? third on the hit. Frisch came through j with a single to center which scored both runners. Kelly brought the inn? ing to a close by hoisting a long fly to Duncan. Neale started the Reds half of the fifth by beating out a tap in front ot the plate, but he got no further than first base. Sicking then flied out to Burns, Wingo fanned and Ring forced Xeale at second on a grounder to Doyle. The New Yorkers threatened to score , again in the seventh. After Burns had i flied out) to Duncan Bancroft shot a i single to center. Young lifted one to Xeale, but Frisch slammed another sin? gle to center. Kelly was unequal to the occasion, however, and he popped to Daubert. Spencer Gets Double The McGraw men added another superfluous tally in the eighth. Spencer led off with a double along the left field foul line and Doyle sent him to third on a bunt in front of the plate. Smith raised one to Roush and Spencer easily scored after the catch. Barnes slammed a line drive off Ring's glove, but Groh pounced on the ball and nailed the runner at first. After going scoreless for thirty- j three consecutive innings, the home | ?players finally shoved a run across in [ the eighth. Charlie See was sent in to I bat for Ring and he dropped a short| fly in left field for a two-bagger. Rath \ sent him to third on a grounder to j Doyle. Jake Daubert slammed a poten- ; tial single over second, but Doyle made ! a marvelous barehand stop and threw j Daubert out at iixst. See scored on the i play, but Kelly then made a fine catch j of Groh's pop fly while running toward the outfield. Outfielder Griffin, of the Memphis ! Club of the Southern Association, re- j ported to Manager McGraw to-day and i took part in the practice before the ? game. The Giants left for Pittsburgh ! to-night to open a five-game series with | the Pirates. A double-header will be played to-morrow. Shufflin Phil Doug? las and Fred Toney will probably do the pitching for the New Yorkers. NEW YORK (X. L.> I CINCINNATI (N. L.) ab r h po a el tbrhpo t( Bum?.
