^^gkges Increase League Lead at Expense of Tigers?Dodgers Win?Giants Beat Cards
Carl Mays Tames Cobh's Tigers
And Hugmen Win by 7-3 Score
Dauss Treated Rather Roughly, Especially by Wallie
Schang, Who Hits Home Run With Two Men on
Base; Babe Ruth Behind Last Year's Record
By Charles A. Taylor
The Yankees threw off their lethargy yesterday afternoon and evened
tho series with the Tig-era by winning, 7 to 3. Inasmuch as the cham?
pion Indians lo7jt their third straight game to the Senators, the New
Yorkers now lead the American League race by a full game. Carl Mays
again proved the man for an emergency by pitching sterling ball against
Ty Cobb's band of sluggers.
Tyrus, himself, failed to get a bit
whereas that demon batter Hoilmar
could only produce a measly scratch
blow. Tho only Tigers to take anj
?or* of fancy to Carl's underhand
wares wero Flautead, with a doubl?
and a single, and Bassler, with two
singles.
The Detroit twirler was George
Dauss, who a few years back was able
to hypnotise any batter wearing a New
>or* uniform. But George is slipping
IMt, arid the Yanks had no trouble at
a i in bunching ten safeties in such
fach ion as to manufacturo all the runs
necessary.
Sad to relate, Babe Ruth failed to
get a homo run and is for the first
tme th?3 season behind his record of
last year. It was on August 6, 1920,
that the Babo made his thirty-ninth.
Ho has made only thirty-eight so far
this season.
Schang Show? Speed
Wallie Schang was tho home run
artist of yesterday, and, what is more,
the Yankee catcher didn't have to put
the ball into the stands either. By a
fine burst of speed he went all the way
around on a drive to the bleacher fence
in left center.
The Tigers were first under the wire,
scoring a run in the opening frame.
Blue walked, was sacrificed to second
by Bush, went to third following a
wonderful catch of Cobb's foul fly by
Wallie Pipp and crossed the plate
when Bob Meusel misjudged and muffed
Veach's long drive. Veach reached
third on the error, but was left right
there.
The Yanka tied the score in the sec?
ond through singles by Ward, Schang
and Mays, but the Tigers took the lead
again in the fourth on Heilman's hot
smash to Baker, a fumble bv Ward of
Jones's grounder, a hit batsman and
Bassler's single.
In the sixth inning the Hugmen se?
cured the runs that won, Babe Ituth
greasing the ways with a single to
right which Heilman allowed to trickle
through his legs. Babe kept on going
until he reached third. Baker hit to
Bush, whose throw to the plato got by
Bassler, and the Babe tallied. Meusel
tripled to right center and Babe
counted. Pipp singled to center for
the third and last run of the inning.
Yanks Make It a Cinch
The Yanks made it a cinch in the
eighth, when, with Baker and Pipp on
baso as the result of a single and
double respectively, Schang crashed his
homer. The Tigers were presented
v.-ith their last run by Babe Ruth, who
lost Flngstead's fly in the sun. Two
infield outa brought the Detroiter
across.
Let the good work go on! Wane
Hoyt is due to do our flinging to-day
and Lanky Howard Ehmke is his likely
rival.
Elmer Miller, the outfielder obtained
from the St. Paul cluh, will appear in
Yankee uniform thia afternoon. He
arrived In the big town laat night.
Victor Keene, who has been making
a name for himself as pitcher for a
Philadelphia semi-pro team, hau been
signed by the Yankees and ordered to
report at once. Keene twirled for the
University of Maryland nine last year.

Southpaw Holds Reds Score
less Until Ninth; Rixey
Lasts Only Three Innings
CINCINNATI. Aug. 5.?The Brooklyn
Dodgers to-day won the last game of
the series from the Reds by 6 to 1,
giving them three oux of the four con?
tests played here. The Dodgers left
to-night for Pittsburgh, where they
have four games scheduled.
Clarence Mitchell's lefthandod spit
ball was pitted against Eppa Rixev's
regular lefthanded delivery at the
start this afternoon, but the latter was
driven to the showers after three in
ings, with eight hits and four runs
marked against him. Mitchell lasted
the route and pitched wonderful ball
until the ninth inning,
Groh opened the last stand with a
double, Roush flied to Myers and Fon
seca lined out to Neis, but Duncan
singled to left, scoring Groh and de?
priving Mitchell of a shutout. Duncan
went to second on Mitchell's relay to
the plate, but was left there when Har
grave flied to Neis. Groh and Duncan
were the only Reds who got as far as
second base.
Mitchell made three hits and drove
in two runs. Schmandt made three hits
and scored three runs. Daubert's ann
was still soro from being hit by a
pitched ball from Burleigh Grimes in
the flrst game yesterday and Fonseca
covered first base for tho Reds.
Johnston inaugurated tho Brooklyn
attack when ho singled to center in
the first inning, with one out. He stole
second and stayed their while Neis
fouled to Hargravc, but went home on
Wheat's single to center. The Dodgers
scored another in the second inning
and clinched the game In the next in?
ning in this manner:
Myers singled to center, with one
out Schmandt's single to center moved
Myers to third and Schmandt took sec?
ond on Roush's throw to Groh. Kil
duff's sacrifice fly to Roush scored
Myers. Grucger's single to cent?* ?cored

American Association
ibus, 3; Kansas City. 2.
(Copyright, 1921, New York Tribune Inc.)
A Point of View
Dear Sir: In an international way we have cleaned up in polo and
in tennis. We have had more than our share of Olympic triumphs. Amer?
icans hold the heavyweight, middleweight, lightweight and bantamweight !
titles of the ring. But let us not kid ourselves about our glory at golf.
We can more than afford to be fair. Jock Hutchison, British open cham?
pion, is a full fledged Scotchman, born at St. Andrews, where he first
learned the game. Jim Barnes, American open champion, is a full fledged
Englishman, born in Cornwall. Bob McDonald, metropolitan open cham?
pion, is another full fledged Scot, born in the land of the gorse and heather.
The British are still supremo at golf, and the mere fact that many of
their stars have moved to a land where there are more money and a greater
chance for advancement doesn't alter the unadorned truth. So why not
be fair about it and admit the facts as they stand? FAIR FLAY.
The Argument in the Case
There are two points of view here to ba considered. The present
leaders of the golf world are all British born, and the inherent knack for
play came down from past generations of British-bred golfers. The vic?
tories of Hutchison and Barnes were in no sense home bred triumphs.
But there is still another point of view to be considered. Scotland
is held and settled by Scots, England by the English. But America is a
vast array of English, Scotch, Dutch, Irish, Swedes, Poles, if one is to go
back a generation or so.
Hutchison and Barnes, British born, are also American citizens. They
were both members of the American international golf team. They have
lived in America for many years, and it was over here their games were
built up into championship mold.
So there is something to be said on both sides. The British press, in
the main, has come forward bravely to admit American successes in
both instances.
But considering the fact that both champions were British born,
different in this respect from Hagen, Kerrigan and others, we suggested
at the start that the double triumph of Hutchison and Barnes might well
be rated as a 50-50 affair, with the glory evenly divided and no unseemly
gloating possible upon either side.
The Land of Many Inheritances
There are many Americans who can go back for far generations. But
there are many others who are new Americans. This is the land of many
inheritances, and the blend has been one of the big factors in building up
a sporting supremacy.
La joie was of French descent, Wagner of German. Coveleskie's an?
cestors were Poles. When Mike Brady and Pat O'Hara were drawn
together at Columbia, could any doubt their ancestry?
There is still a distinct line between the home breds and the foreign
born, though both are still Americans.
To be 100 per cent fair, we think the British have behaved extremely
well about it. If an American moved to England, switched nationalities
and won some championship as a British subject many of the accom?
panying remarks would hardly be studded with rousing cheers.
The Enlarged Dome
One of the main troubles with boxing is that the champion frequently
makes up his mind that he is much bigger than the game itself. The
rules in his case become unimportant. He can see no reason why he can't
make whatever weight he cares to make nor why he can't name his own
referee.
Why should the Cleveland Boxing Commission have permitted Wilson
to bring along his own official? Wilson's claim to the title immediately
becomes discredited, but Downey's claim also moves under something of
a blur.
Another peculiar feature of the average boxer, or manager, is that
he cares nothing for the good name of his own game.
No more than Cicotte, Jackson, etc., cared for baseball.
Sport has never yet produced a man who was bigger than the game
he played. And sport never will.
The Top Angle
It's great to win?but how far over fame
Tfxc fun ayid frolic of a well played game!
Th? thrill and glow of dean, square give-and-take
With but a passing thought of goal or stake.
Bill Tilden isn't the first entry who has found that Doc Nature is the
world's greatest collector. Abe Mitchell and Joe Kirkwood, after weary?
ing months of competitive strain, suddenly stumbled upon the same moody
and morose fact at Columbia. A short rest can usually take care of any
mere physical weariness. But when the nervous system begins to sag
the recuperative process has to be just a tri fie extended.
Cobb, Heil?naii, Veach, Crawford, F?agstead?when a cove steps into
the Tiger outfield basehits seem to start exuding from every pore.

State Board Puts
Age Limit on Ring
Contestants Here
Boxers Over 38 Are Barred
Front New York; Carpen-1
tier's Hand Badly injured
By Jack Lawrence
The New York State Boxing Commis?
sion yesterday decided that the age limit j
for boxers in every division competing '?
in this commonwealth shall be fixed at
thirty-eight years. This ruling was ar- ?
rived at after a' rather heated debate
in which a minority held out for an
age limit of thirty-five years.
in boxing*,circles tho action taken by
tho fistic moguls is regarded as aimed
at Jack Johnson, former heavyweight
champion, who is trying to arrant" a
come-back by way of a number of bat?
tles with aspiring heavies in this state.
Johnson, according to available statis?
tics, has just pas id beyond the stat?
utory age limit and would be I
from appearing here.
The tight fans who seem to think !
this legislation on the part of the
commission was conceived with the
ic'ea of keeping the colored man out
of New Yoi'K rings are of tho opinion
that it will also affect Jess Willard,
and the question was being asked up
and down Broadway last night: "How
old is Jess'.'''
Tex- Rickard received yesterday a ?
cablegram from M. Francois Deschamps, ;
manager of Georges Carpentier, stat?
ing that doctors in Paris, alter exam- ?
innig the thumb of Georges' right !
hi nd, which he broke against the jaw ?
of Jack Dempsey at Boyle's Thirty
Acres on July -, said it was more
seriously injured than hud been sus?
pected. The cable read:
"Doctor requires three months with?
out boxing because of fracture of right
thumb, will inform you as soon as
possible when, we can return to box."
Gus Wilson, Carpentier's trainer, is
still maintaining the camp at Manhas- !
set, where Charley Ledoux and Paul ?
Journ?e are preparing for bouts in this i
vicinity. Gus said yesterday he had
received no orders to give up the camp.
Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul veteran
who made Augie Ratner look foolish
at Dyckman Uval on Thursday night,
Will go right on training for his next
bout, which is with Jeff Smith at the
Armory A. A. of Jersey City next
Tuesday night. If Jeff shows no better
than Augle the going should be soft
for ?like.
An unexpected demand for scats has
caused the officials of the Bronx Box?
ing Drome to place a large number of
chairs in tho arena. The main bout
between Johnny Dundee and Charley
White, of Chicago, is attracting con
r.iderable attention. White arrives
here from Chicago to-day and will fin?
ish his training at an uptown gym?
nasium.

McHenry led of:" and doubled down the
