TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1925 CRIPPLED PIRATES IN EAST FOR ~-RESUMPTION OF BASEBALL PLAY Giants Fight Way To Within Three Games Of Pittsburgh As Last Swing Through Eastern Circuit Begins. NEW_ YORK, Aug. had been trimmed yesterday to three games by the pursing Giants and TENNIS FANS PROVE UNRULY By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 18,—The only cause for satisfaction to be found in the unruly conduct of part of the crowd at Forest Hills when the wo- men stars of the United States and England were playing for the Wight- man cup was that it was not inspired by misguided patrriotism, Quite on the contrary, most of the outbursts over decisions of the lines- men were raised in behalf of the English players. particularly in the case of Miss McKane. And the victim of the booing and the storm of hisses that disgraced one phase of the tournament was Miss Helen Wills, who was some twenty minutes late in appearing for the doubles match. ‘They call it “hooliganism” in Eng- land and lawn tennis there has not been free from it. But this season In the United States is the first time spectators have permitted emotions to run away with their breeding. And they were well-bred persons, men and women who ‘abandoned them- selves on Saturday to the behavior of a crowd at a prize fight or fans in cheap bleacher seats at a base- ball game. le repre eee QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about "baseball, football, box {ng or any other amateur or pro- fessional sport—_ Write to John B.
