Not only did they lose half their dou- ble header with the Indians, but they temporarily lost Bullet Joe Bush, their star twirler. Joe stopped a hot liner off Speaken's bat with his gloved hand, threw to first for an out, and retired from the game for at least ten days with a broken finger. In the opening game the Indians scored a shutout, winning 6 to 0. But in the second the lucky number turned up for the Yankees, and the Indian's lost 11 to 7. Smith, the Yanks rightfielder, hit a home run, ‘Another double header was split by the Giants and the Cubs, playing in New York. The Cubs won the first game, 7 to 4, the Giants the second, a tight pitching battle, 3 to 1. Jack Bentley saved the day in the second game.

The Phillies went down to a 13 to 7 de- feat on their home grounds at the hands of the Cardinals, when the lat- ter made seven runs in the second Inning and continued in an acquist- itive mood for the remainder of the game.

Artie went about his business much as the mechanic goes about his. He went to work, capably handled his job and went on about his every day work, Mayne did not miss a thing and moved about the ring in such a manner as to see each and every blow struck. He nipped the foul blow struck by Sid Socklyn at ‘Teddy Gartin the second the low blow went on its way. There was no stalling, talking or fussing. He made his decision and helped Gartin to his fect, the principles shook hands and the next bout got into | the ring. The whole affair was free from haggling. Most referees start | calling for doctors and the crowd's opinion but not Mayne; he was there to judge, and judge he did, very quickly. The Midget Smith-Frankte Jum- mati fight was handled under ad verse conditions but Artie took his soaking with the fighters and hand led boxers and himself like a veteran, He slipped and alld around in the rain and mud that covered the canvas and missed not a punch, His decision in the bout as well as the others was a just one. Several New York men at the ringside made statements to the effect that Mayne was the best third man they ever had the pleasure of watching work a fight. “ All in all this stocicy little gentle men is a referee of the first water and his further appearance in ( per will be a cinch that th sisions will be given and that the fighterg will fight.
