Giants Humble Braves in Two Games?Dodgers Win Another?Ping Bodie Breaks Anm
Sheriff ^Slim" Saltee Gets
Back in Grace of McGraw
-?p?r
Toney Shuts Out Braves in Opener by 6 to 0 Score ;
Veteran, Deserving Shut-Out, Beats Boston
5 to 1 in the Closing Pastime in1 Hub
Special Correspondent?
BOSTON, Sept. 8.?The pitching of Fred Toney and Slim Sallee
was too much for the Braves to-day, and the Giants romped away with
both games of a double-header, winning the first by a count of 6 to 0 and
the second by a score of 6 to 1. Toney allowed only four hits in the
opener, and only one Brave got as far as second base. Sallee yielded six
scattered blows, and deserved a shut-out, a scratch two-bagger chasing
the only Boston run over the plate in the first inning.
Opposed to Toney in the first game?
was Johnny Watson, whom the Giants
hi* freely. Watson was pulled out to
make room for a pinch hitter, and Ira
Townsend finished the game. In the
second encounter Dick Rudolph faced
the Giants and went eight rounds,
when, like Watson, he was hit freely.
He was removed to allow Mickey
O'Neill to swing for h,im in the eighth,
and Leo Townsend, no relation to the
Townsend who figured in the first
game, replaced him. Neither Towns
end permitted any liberties by the
Giants during his occupancy of the box.
Watson Easy for Giants
Watson, who had not faced the
Giants before, was easy for New York !
from the start, and they bumped him
for a run in the first inning. He got
rid of Burns on a pop fly to Ford, but
Bancroft singled to center. Young sin?
gled to right, putting Bancroft on
third, whence ho scored on a single by
Frisch. Young perished in his attempt
to reach third on Frisch's hit. Frisch
was picked off first base.
In the third inning Burns forced
Toney, who had singled, and scored
when Bancroft belted the ball to the
score board for three bases. Frisch
opened the fourth inning with an in?
field hit and moved along to third on
Kelly's single to left. Kelly reached
second when Eayrs pegged to the far
corner in a vain attempt to head off
Frisch and both men scored on King's
single to center.
There the count rested until the
eighth, when Toney doubled to right.
Burns flied to Sullivan, but Bancroft,
whose hitting was a feature of the
game, doubled to right center, scoring
Toney. Young crashed one at Holke,
and by fast sprinting beat Walter's
toss to Watson, who covered the bag.
The toss got away from the pitcher,
and Bancroft, rounding third at top
speed, kept on to the plate.
Only once did the Braves have a
ghost of a chance to score. That was
in the first inning, when, with two out,
Eayrs beat out an infield hit and Sul?
livan walked. Thev blew that phantom
chance to score when Holke lifted a
foul to Frisch.
Braves Score But Once
The Braves did all their scoring for
the afternoon in the first inning of the
second game. Eayrs led off with a sin?
gle to center and Boeckel flied to Burns.
Young dropped Mann's short fly, but
got the ball to second base in time to
force Eayrs. Sullivan hit a high fly to
right center and Young got under it.
He got the ball in his hands, but failed
to hold it. Mann Bcored and the official
scorer gave Sullivan credit for a two
bagger. There the Braves were halted
by the Slim Sheriff.
The Giants trailed until the fourth
inning, in which they scored enough
runs to win. Young was first up in
the fourth and singled to center. He
was forced by Frisch, but Kelly drew a
pass. Kinpr singled to right, scoring
Frisch. Sui?van kicked the ball vigor?
ously, r.nd before'..he could recover it
Kelly also had scored and King was
perched on third base. Doyle rapped a
single to center, scoring King.
By ,way of clinchipg the'victory the
Giants scored another run in the sixth
inning, and still another in the eighth.
In the sixth a single to deep short by
King and a three-base hit by Doyle
accounted for a tally. A single by
Young, a sacrifice by Frisch and a sin?
gle by Kelly in the eighth were mould?
ed into the fifth and last run regis?
tered by the Giants.

Injury to Keep
Yankee Fielder
Out for Season
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 8.?A crowd of
more than 25,000 fans witnessed an ex?
hibition game between tho New York
Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates
here to-day, the victory going to the
visitors, 7 to S. Both teams worked re?
cruit pitchers, Zinn for Pittsburgh and
Ferguson for New York.
"Babe" Ruth satisfied the crowd in
the ninth inning when he made a home
run. He poled the ball over the right
field fence in the longest hit ever seen
at Forbes Field.
Ruth's blow cleared the fence in
right field and bounded three city
blocks outside the park before it
stopped rolling. It was the longest
hit ever made here. "Ham" Hyatt is
the only player besides Ruth who has
ever hit the ball fair over the right
field bulwark here.
v In the second inning Bodie, the
Yankee center fielder, tripled and then
scored on a wild pitch. In sliding into
the home plate he caught his foot on
the rubber.
At first it was thought that he had
sprained his leg, but physicians who
attended him declared that Bodie's
right ankle had been fractured, and
that he would be out of the game for
the remainder of the season.
Alex Ferguson, a youngster, pitched
for the Yanks, and held'the Pirates to
three hits. He was splendidly sup?
ported by Hoffman, the Yankees'
young catcher.

Pennant Fights
Drawn Tighter
As End Appears
The pennant races in the National
find American leagues tightened up an?
other notch as a result of yesterday's
games.
In the senior circut the Cincinnati
Reds, who are setting the pace, were
idle, while Brooklyn, in second place,
defeated Philadelphia, and New York,
in third place, won two games from
Boston. The Dodgers' victory put
them in a tie with Cincinnati so far
as cames are concerned, but the Reds
have a lead of four percentage points.
The Giants' double victory over the
Braves enabled New York to gain four
points on Brooklyn and seven on Cin?
cinnati. In games the Giants are one
and one-half behind Cincinnati and
Brooklyn.
Cleveland and New York were not
scheduled in the American League,
while Chicago defeated St. Louis and
thereby gained three points on the first
and second teams. As a result there
are only eleven points between Cleve?
land in first place and Chicago in third
place. The Indians have a naif game
lead over the Yankees, and the latter
have the same advantage over the
White ?ox.
The final intersectional series of the
season open in both leagues to-day,
with the Western clubs of the Na-1
tional League playing in the East and
the Eastern clubs of the American
League in the West. It is possible
that before the teams return to their
home stations one or more of the ?.
pennant contenders in both circuits
will have been eliminated, if the races
are not actually decided.
Cincinnati in the National League
and New York in the American have
the hardest work cut out for them
among the contenders. The real test ?
for the Reds will come next week when!
Manager Moran's team will face the'
Dodgers in Brooklyn for three games
and then come to New York for four
games with the Giants.

Jordan at ?Quarterback
HANOVER, N. H., Sept. 8. ? With j
forty-five candidates reporting to Coach
Spears, Dartmouth's 1920 football cam?
paign began to-day. The work-out was
dtvoted largely to passing, kicking and
light signal drill. Zach Jordan, who
played fullback last fall, was shifted
to quarter, and it is probable that
he will get Cannell's old job perma?
nently.

bout with Mike O'Dowd in the Jersey
City basball park two weeks from to?
night. The European welter and mid?

miies on the road and spent nearly an
hour in an open-air gymnasium.
Lewis is far below the stipulated
weight for the match?158 pounds ling

present notch in order not to"sacrifice
any of his great speed. Lewis has de?
veloped a terrific wallop since invading
England and France, and he means to
stop O'Dowd if possible.

The Trainers
(Re?ntered at the passing request of L. L. H.)
My name is Trouble?I'm a busy bloke?
/ am the test of courage and of class;
I bind the coward to a bitter yoke,
I drive the craven from the crowning pass;
Weaklings I crush before they rise to fame,
But as the red star guides across the night,
I train the stalwart for a better game?
/ drive the brave mto a harder fight.
My name is Hard Luck?wrecker of rare dreams?
/ follow all who seek the open fray;
I am. the shadow ivhcre the far light gleams
For those who seek to knoiv the laureled way;
Quitters I break before they reach the crest.
But where the red field echoes with the drums
I build the fighter for the final test
And mold the brave for any crash that comes.
My name's Defeat?but through the bitter fight
To those who knoio I'm nothing more than friend,
For I can build beyond the wrath of might
And drive away all yellow from the blend;
For those who quit I am the final blow,
But for the brave who seek their chance to learn
I show the way, at last, bajond the foe
To xvhere the scarlet flames of triumph burn.
The Hardest Shot
Here's another argument?viz., what is the hardest shot in golf to j
play? By that we mean the one shot that more good players miss under ;
the stress and strain of competition.
Bill Fownes, the Pittsburgh veteran, who is one of the closest students
of the game in this or any other country, says it is the half iron shot or
the short pitch over a trap from sixty to ninety yards away, where one's
control and timing must be perfect.
Several others cast their vote in favor of the long approach putt?
the putt that ranges from forty to sixty feet in length, where only a few
are able to get consistently dead to the cup or within a putting range of
three feet.
These two types are unquestionably the hardest in the game?the
two most often missed by first class players. For they are the two shots
that require the greatest amount of nerve control and the keenest timing.
The golfer who can handle both is generally en his way to glory.
Favored Teams
From now out the schedule favors New York and Brooklyn in the
National League, with Cleveland and Chicago in the American
If the Reds and Yankees win they must clean up along the trail far
from the friendly odor of home cooking and equally far from the sup?
porting clamor of the friendly bug.
The two races have run so well bunched into September that fore?
casting the result becomes mere guesswork
The White Sox and Giants with the home schedule in their favor and
two able pitching staffs have seemed to have the call for some time, but
their main rivals have refused to skid. And who can blame 'em, with
$5,000 coming to each member of the victorious world series cast which is

With the number of temperamental prima donnas on the Red team ;
this season Pat Moran has turned over a near miracle in holding his club
in the race. Pat has been up against more trouble than the outside public
could ever guess, and the wonder is that he has always been able to stave j
vff any long slump. l

In 1913 with a hitting club back of him Walter Johnson won thirty- !
six games and lost but seven. This season with the best hitting club he
has ever pitched for?a club able to go out and get three or four runs at
every start?Fate steps in, slips him a no-hit game, and then runs down !
the curtain. It has been one of the melancholy episodes of baseball that;
neither Walter Johnson nor Napoleon Lajoie ever took part in the big
October show. Wonder if the same fate will add George Sisler to the list?

Box in 4?th; Konetchy's
Homer Clinches Contest
From a Special Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8.?The Phil?
lies stopped Jeff Pfeffer's winning
streak on the morning of Labor Day,
but the big pitcher started a new
streak at their expense when he
pitched the Brooklyn Dodgers to vic?
tory to-day by 7 to 4. It was the last
clash of the year between these two
teams. The Dodgers won fourteen and
the Phillies took eight of their twenty
two engagements.
Lee Meadows was knocked out of
the box in the fourth inning by Ed
Konetchy's home run over the fence in
right center and Kilduff'a double. He
allowed six hits and five runs while
he lasted. Walter Betts, a young right
hander, finished for the Phillies and
allowed eight hits and two runs.
The Phillies could do nothing with
Pfeffer until two were out in the sev?
enth, when three hits, including a
home run by Walter Tragressor into
the left field bleachers, and two passes
gave them three runs.
The Dodgers open in Brooklyn to?
morrow with the Cardinals for four
games in three days, including a dou?
ble-header on Saturday. Their only
?mes away from home will be at the
Polo Grounds on October 1 and 2.
Olson Back at Short
"Ivan Olson, who was suspended for
hiu jawing match with Umpire Hank
O'Day in th" first inning of the dou?
ble-header Monday, was back at short
for Brooklyn. Uncle Robbie had his
recular line-up, except that he sent
Bill Lamar to right for Tommy Griffith,
who has not been hitting well of late.
Paulette was hit on the hand by a
pitched ball from Pfeffer in the fifth
inning and was retired. Ralph Miller
moved from third to first for the
Phillies and Roger Wrightstone went
tJ third.
Otto Miller singled to left in the
third and Pfeffer sacrificed. Olson sin?
gled to center, scoring Miller, and took
i-ccond on Williams's wild return to
?.he infield. Johnston singled to left,
scoring Olson. Johnston stole second
ai?d went to third when Lamar was
thrown out on a vicious grounder that
Meadow? knocked down. Wheat walked.
On the double steal Tragesser's throw
was too high for Fletche- to handle
cleanly and Johnston scored, Wheat
taking second. Ralph Miller tossed out
Myers.
Konetchy was first up for Brooklyn
in the fourth and raised a home run
over the center field fence, beyond the
flagpole, which is in right center. The
ball hit the top of the screen and then
fell into Broad Street. Kilduff doubled
over third. Meadows was derricked
and Betts went to the rescue. Miller
laid down a sacrifice on the first pitch
and Betts fumbled it until Otto reached
first, Kilduff taking third. Pfeffer
flied to Rawli.ngs, but Olson's sacrifice
fly to Lebourveau sent home Kilduff.
Lamar Hitting Well
' Johnston cracked a single off
Fletcher's glove in the seventh with
one out. He scored on Bill Lamar's
double over first. Rawlings threw out
Wheat and Lamar took third, but Betts
struck out Myers.
The Phillies scored throe runs in the
seventh after Lebourveau and R. Miller
had been retired. Tragesser began it
by bouncing a home run into the left
field bleachers. Betts beat out a bunt.
Passes to Wrightstone and Rawlings
filled the bases. Willi?ms lined a sin?
gle against the right field fence, scor?
ing Betts and Wrightstone and put?
ting Rawlings on third. Meusel forced
Williams, Johnston to Kilduff.
The Dodgers added another run in
the ninth, assisted by. Lamar's second
double, and the Phillies did likewise in
their half.
