CRUCIAL SERIES NOW ON WITH Young Lochinvar, swinging a baseball mallet, rides into the Polo Grounds to seek his pennant bride, A feast has long been in prepara: tion in the east, where the maid has spremd her smiles between Brooklyn and New York. From out of the west the young warrior came to de- feat Brooklyn and its champion Dazzy Vance. Today, the Giants, warned of his strength, fight to re- tain their prize as the Robins seck to restore damaged hopes at the expense of Chicago. Pittsburgh is one and one half games behind New York, which leads Brooklyn by one point follow: ing the 2 to 1 Robin victory over the Cubs yesterday. The Giants and Pittsburgh were prevented from playing by rain, The fortunes of the three teams are tied up in the pivotal series at the Polo Grounds, If either con- testant sweeps up three games, the other and probably Brooklyn, will By winning two more from the Cubs, the Robins can go out in front if the Pirates take two games ind keep pace with the Giants if the latter win two. * But New York has two more games and Pittsburgh four more to play, than Brooklyn; if elther the Giants or Pirates sustain a winning streak in their final contests, the case of Brooklyn would be hopeless, even though Robinson’s men cap-! tured thelr four to be played. Washington is preparing for its anticipated opportunity to becom: the capital city of baseball as the Senators continue to maintain their two game .tad over the once kingly champions of the world, now hob- Ding home on aged legs—a victim of the jungle.

Washington can cinch the pennant by taking five of its string and can tle by win- ning four even though New York Sweeps up its remaining six. Brooklyn was compelled to main- tain its forzed pace of the last week to defeat Chicago in 12 innings but the Senators and Yankees came through by wide margins, although Coveleskie was difficult for New York until a ninth inning assault swept him aside. Detroit defeated Boston, 9 to 1 but was eliminated as a possibl pennant wianer. The Athletics, pre- paring ancther bad stretch of road for the Y.znkees’ homeward ride, outbatted Ft. Louis, 9 to 7, © Cincinnatl-Philadelphia con: test in the National was postponed by rain, St. Louis and Boston were not scheduled. Barney Dreyfis, president of the Pittsburgh club, today will appeal to John A, Heydler, president of the National league, to overrule Manager John J. McGraw's decision that the game scheduled for yester- day between the Giants and Pirates nd called off on account of rair shall bo played Thursday. The Pittsburgh magnate objects to Mo- Graw’s arrangement on the ground that the Pirates planned to play off @ postponed game with Chicago on Thursday, an open date for both teams.

A. U. and an ongineer on the staff of the New fork @ity department. It was not fast on the day that Paddock equaled his world’s records. The track was soft and wet fmm a heavy rain on the previous day and there was only a slight wind back of the runners, The conditions were not for the fast running which made Paddock's performance all the more creditable, .» ‘ Paddock was, short of work at the Olympic games in Paris. The weather just before the games opened was bad and the training track outside the stadium, where the athletes had to work, was dan- gerous for a sprinter like Paddock, who was just recovering from some pulled muscles. The Californian looked better each time he started in Paris, and when he finished sec- ond to Jack Scholz in the finals of the 200 metre race he was just work- ing himself into real running form. This is meant as no discredit to Scholz, wm ran superbly. It {s doubtful if‘ any sprinter in the world, in his best form, could have beaten Scholz that day.

Just how has this been effected? Answer—By placing it in the ref- ereo's power to inflict the penalty that relates to violation of. the rule against interference with the efforts of the defending side to reach a thrown ball with a view to inte: ception. Question—The rules seem to leave much more to the judgment of the referee than ever before. Is this so? Answer—It is so, The referee hi increased responsibilities in the way of judgment. And he shall be sole judge as to the legality of incidents or actions coming up on the field not specifically covered by the rules. Question—How many times may a team take time out without a pen- alty in the course of a game? What is the penalty for excess? In case of excess is there any avenue of escape from penalty? Answer—Four time in each halt. ‘The penalty for excess is five yards.
