Yankees Lose Close Game to the White Sox?Dodgers Win Twice?Giants Bow to Reds Pinch Hit by Chicago Recruit Offsets 46th Homer of Ruth Fred Bratchi Bats for "fled" Faber in the Eighth Inning and Drives In Two Runs; Errors by New York Infieiders Beat Mays by 7 to 6 By Charles A. Taylor CHICAGO, Aug. IS.?The White Sox evened up the series with the "Yankees here to-day, after a see-saw battle. The score was 7 to 6, the Gleasonites staging an eighth-inning rally which gave them three runs and victory. Babo Ruth did his share to keep < the Yankee ship sailing smoothly pen- : nantward, but his best endeavors were in vain. With the Yankees one run behind in the seventh the Babe knocked out his forty-sixth homer of the season and his second in two days, scoring two runners ahead of hiru._ Showing that he is absolutely im? partial as to where he cashes in his circuit drives, the bail he "lost" to? day sailed over the left field fence. A merry row ensued as Ray Schalk, the pugnacious little catcher of the White Sox, insisted the ball Babe hit went foul. Schalk Sent From Field Kid Gleason and the rest of his co? horts joined tho wrangle which cen? tered about the home plate and the Chicago rooters raised a frightul ,din. So obstinate was little Schalk that Umpire Wilson finally ordered the Sox backstop out of the game end then pulled his watch on Gleason. Eventu? ally the battle was resumed. A sadden weakening on the part of the "underhanded'' Mays in the eighth spoiled everything for the Yanks. Amos Strunk started the collapse of the New York pitcher by doubling to left center. Falk walked and Sheely beat out a bunt to Mays, who turned to throw to third and force Strunk, but there was no Baker on hand to take the toss. This bungle filled eyery hassock. Hooper forced Sheely at second, Strunk tallying. Mostil batted for Lees and was purposely passed, again fill? ing the bases A certain Fred Bratchi was hereupon called upon to hat for Fr.ber and he made himself more than solid with the- Comi3key customers by singling to right, scoring Falk arid Hooper and, as it turned out, winning the cid ball prime, Each team scored in the first inning. The Yankee run being put on its way by Elmer Miller, who singled over sec? ond. Roger Peckingpaugh responded to the hit and run signal with a safe drive through short, Miller speeding to thir?V The best Ruth could ac? complish was a grounder to short, which forced Peck at second, but Miller tallied on the play. Take i.ead in Fourth The White Sox got this run back in their half, Johnson solving Mays for a double to right field. Mulligan in endeavoring to sacri?:ce popped a fly into the hands of Mays and Eddie Collins flied out to Ruth. Amos Strunk singled to center for the run. The Yankees shot into the load in the fourth. Baker was tossed out by Johnson, but Meusel beat out a hit to deep short. Ward walked and Wally Schang hit his second double of the afternoon, the ball bounding to left 'Vid after striking Mulligan on the left foot. Meusel and Ward counted on this torrid smash. The Sox came right back in their half r nd with the aid of Ward and Pipp tied the '.'.core. Sheely went out, Mays to Pipp, but Hooner singled off the shins o? the New York pitcher. Schaik singled to center, putting Hooper on third. Fab?r singled to left, scoring Hooper, and Schalk also tallied when, with Fab .r caught between second and first, Ward failed to throw home, but instead he tossed to Pipp, who dropped the ball. Johnson forced Faber at sec ond and then was caught on an at? tempted! steal. Captain Roger Peckinpaugh pre? sented tne Sox with a one-run lead iti the sixtti by fumbling Falk's grounder.

Babe Ruth and hia homer sent the Yankees into the van in the seventh which Mays opened with n singlo to center. Miller bunted a third strike and was out, but Peck hit safely to center. Then along came Ruth with his terrific crash to left, which netted three runs. Mays Peeved at Mates Carl Mays was very much peeved at the run coating antics of Ward and Pipp in the fourth. Carl first hurled his glove high in the p.ir and then sat right down in the box to emphasize his disgust. Harry Hooper, after a long absence from the game as the result of a broken band, returned to the White Sox line? up to-day. The Comiskey eheerers cheered Harry most cheerily. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Tandis, high commissioner of baseball, was the guest of Colonel T. L. Huston at din? ner to-night. The Judge said he wns not yet ready to hand own any deci? sions in the cases of Benny Kauff. former Giant outfielder, and Cliff Markle, the pitcher claimed by both the Yankees and the Reds.

Mitchell' and Cadore Triumph In Easy Pair With Cardinals Griffith, Batting for Mil? ler, Drives In Winnings Runs in First Contest The Dodgers played a fine brand of baseball at Ebbets Field yesterday and took both ends of a double-header fron; the St. Louis Cardinals. The score.? were 11 to 5 and 4 to 1. Robbie's men did some timely hitting, they had good pitching and their only error was 8 rnu'.f by Scnmandt of a twisting foul fly. Clarence Mitchell was hit rather hard in the first game, but the blows were well :attered and his mate? helped immensely by walloping the op? posing pitchers. Bill Pertica started for the Cardinals and for six innings he was engaged in a brilliant pitching duel. Hut in the seventh Neis started the rally which sent Pertica to the showers and Tommy Griffith, limping to the plate as a pinch hitter, sent over the winning run.?. ? eon Cadore was effective in the second contest, *St. Louis scoring its r." run in the first inning. '?Cuddy" allowed only .--even hits, three of which went to Rogers Hornsby. The champion batter collected two triples and a single, but struck out on hi te plate. Battle After First Inning This second game resolved itself into a pitchers' battle alter the first inning, Dodgi rs had scored four off Hoy Walker in this frame Haipes's goo?! pitching went for naught.

Winning Temperament .1 good beauful of concentration, An armful of determination, The poiso thai comes where one can take Without dull wrath the game's worst break, And still slog on the upward slope With forward thought and unchanged hope, Content to let his hard-fought lest Decide his ranking with the rest. A head ful of the will to win If fate, should take the proper spin. The will to keep unchanging thought ('???en the mahi goal that is sought. The ovo who knoios that none can duck His share of pain or unkempt lack, But, playing laggedly or well, Still slogs along in sp'iteofell. The physical part of any game shows fur itself and therefore ab? sorbs most of the attention. Mental control over nerve and muscle is an elusive affair and so is given little consideration. The instructor of the future is going to start teaching the principles of mental control before he begins on the physical side of the game at hand. Of what value is skill to p. man who permits his form to be wrecked by anger, Soubt, overeagerness, lack of concentration or self-pity ovo; some turn of hard luck? Bill Johnston isn't any physical marvel. He doesn't always win. But those who have the opportunity of studying his unbroken determination to move forward, his unruffled concentration upor the main job, can acquire one of the great lessons that competition ha; to offer. Consider This Reverting to the original discussion?"There wasn't a moment," says Jim Barnes, "during the open championship when I even thought of los ing my temper. I don't believe there was a moment when I thought of any? thing else except making the next stroke I had to play, whether it wai 2 heel print in a bunker or the middle of the fairway." Result?nine strokes ahead of one of the greatest field i that ever bat? tled for the title. One Man A few sideliners appear to lie baffled over the big improvement Pitts burgh has shown over last year';; form. The club was a hustling, well managed organization a year ago. Bir the big chance came when Walter Maranville reported. The value of or.? man to a machine at times can be enormous. Maranville is not only ; great ball player, but a driving, hard hVhting type that seems to charg< the surrounding atmosphere with his will to win. Evers and Maranvilk have proved that small men can at, times show more dynamic force thai a yard full of giants. And in this respect The Rabbit is The Crab's sue cessor. When they worked together on the old Braves, small wonde the club came from last place after it one- got started and then mauled ti.i Athletics four straight game.--. It might, be suggested (hat one of the finest concentrai ?rs the gam has ever known is a certain Jack Dempsey. Certain is right. It may b that he isn't interested in many details of existence outside the ring, bu (his doesn't alter the main facts in the case. In the ring he is 100 pe | cent contest, where the crowd might be ninety thousand or ninety withou affecting his mental attitude. gs m ueasmes NATIONAL LEAGUE YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Cincinnati. 4; New York, :.

Kefly The fast fading pennant aspirations of the Giants received another jolt yesterday afternoon, when the local club was beaten by the Reds, 4 to 3, in the second game of the serie3 at the Polo Grounds and the pace-setting Pirates gained two victories- over the hopeless Phillies. McGraw's players are now six and a half games behind the league leaders and only two and a half games ahead of the Braves, who are in third place. Se?or Adolfo Luque, who pitched for Cincinnati, held the Giants well in cheek until the ninth, when they staged a belated rally, which was cut short with the tieing run on first ba?e. The diminutive Cuban allowed on':;.' seven hits, three of which were bunehi d in the final inning. Luque did not issue a base on balls and was effective in the pinches. Shufflin' Phi' Douglas, who opposed Luque, was plastered for nine safeties, and most of these were put to ad? vantage by the. Reds. Douglas helped to bring about his own downfall by some slow fielding. He was taken out in the eighth to allow Brown to strike out for him and Slim Sallee turned the visitors back in order in the ninth. Umpiring Draws Criticism The game was marked by atrocious umpiring on the part of Big Bill Bren nan, who officiated on the iias.es. The arbiter made three peor decisions. The prize ruling came in the fourth inning, when he called Roush out at second on a force play after Rawlings had plainly mulTed a throw by Fri.-ch. Rawlings barely touched the ball and the pellet continued on its way to the outfield, but Brennan ruled that Rawl? ings had held it "momentarily, as re? quired by the rules." i The ruling did not affect the ou*" me in _ the least, as i liortly after Frai i: Frisch made a marvelous diving catch of Duncan's line drive and doubled Dpubei't off first base. ' Douglas was a trifle unsteady in the second inning and the Red? shoved a run across. Roush ?ed off with a single to right. Daubert rolled one down to Rawlings, who tossed the ball to Ban? croft at second. It looked as though Roush was out by a step, but Brenm.n I ruled otherwise. Roush then moved to ! third on Duncan's sacrifico and scored i Jt? Wingo's fly to Burns. ' Giants Tie in Fifth The Giants tied the count in the 'if :: on Meusel's triple and a s ; fly by Rawlings, bun the Reds wen : out in front again in the sixth, scoring i a run on Bohne's two-bagger, Groh's I bunt and Roush'3 fly to Meusel. Wlngo opened the seventh for Reds with .1 single to right. Kcpf ? bunted to the box, but Douglas was a ; trifle slow in fielding the bal! and both ; turiners were safe. They moved up a j peg on another bunt by Luque and Wingo crossed the plate after Burns nulled down Neale's fly. The visitors' final run, which proved to be the de? ciding tally, came in the eighth en Roush's infield hit. an in?eld out and Duncan's singin to center. Frisch r.tarled the uprising in the ninth with a two-bagger a!or.y the lefi field foul line and Young bcal out a ' r iller ; ' B ihne. Kelly groun !< d to Luque, and while Frisch was being run down betwei 11 third base and the plate Young sprinted to the far corner and Kelly reached second. Meusel senl 1 both, across with a single to ri rht, Cunningham, who batted for Rawlings, ? went out en a fly to Roush and Smith j rolled one to Luque. The score: I CINCINNATI (N. T..) ; NEW YORK 'W.
