Mays pitched bril- lianly for the league leaders, while Dauss, on the slab for the Tigers, weakened in the sixth and eighth. Pipp, at first for the Yankees, had eighteen put-outs. Joe Bush was invincible when. men were on the bases, his teammates hit the opposing pitchers hard, and Bos- ton whipped the White Sox by 10 to 1. The Red Sox started scoring early and kept it up all through the con- test, their big inning being the fifth, when five runs scampered over the BY DENMAN THOMPSON. UCH of the burden of boosting Washington’s winning streak to an M even dozen games will rest upon the broad shoulders of Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary when the Griffmen take the field in an effort to make a clean sweep of the series with Cleveland this afternoon, pro- vided, of course, rain does not interfere.

Dykes, John Walker and Per- Kins were the Mackmen to drive the ball for circuit clouts. It was rather remarkable that of the four hité made by the Athletics three were Zach probably will have to face George Uhle. The former Cleveland sandlotter is one of the most effective flingers in the business when right, and it may be that to him will fall the distinction of ending Wash- ington’s sensational spurt. This is not indicated by the dope, however, as the Nationals are not on Uhle’s list of “soft” teams, and Zachary, who needs a lot of rest to show at his best, has toiled less than a full game in the past eleven days, his latest tour of duty having consisted of three and two-thirds innings last Tuesday.

Judge and Rice between them ac- counted for the five bingles Wash- ington was limited to by Bagby and Sothoron. The first sacker got on the bases on all four of the oecasions to strode to tha pan, and the first three times he reached the counting sta- tion_through bingles manufactured by Rice. Sam picked a most pro- pitious time for emerging -from the slump he has been trying to shake off for many weeks, for without his single and pair of doubles the ght- edge pitching of Mogridge and the sensational fielding of his mates would have proved uhavailing. Bagby Soen Dixappears, ‘Bagby lingered only a few minutes after the pastime opened. Judge greeted him by ripping a single past Burns, Milan walked and Rice lined a double to_ center, cashing Judge. Milan tallied when Sewell momen- tarily fumbled Miller’s rasping bound- er. Bagby's failure to get the ball over for Harri8 was the signal for his departure. Allan Sothoron as- sumed the sergeant's duties and the rally promptly ended when Shanks drilled into a double pldy. 3 Impotent agalnst Sothoron in the second the Griffs nicked him for: a tally in the following frame. Judge was the instigator with a long single to center. He advanced a notch on Milan's roller to Wamby- and tallied on Rice's second double to cenmter. Sam was left when Miller and Harris botkt lofted tb the garden. Round four proved another profit- less frame. but an additional market was picked up in the fifth and again it was Judge who paved the way. This time Josephus drew a free ticket. He was wild pitched to second. and after Milan popped to Wamby Judge cantered to the platter when Rice connected for his third straight safe- ty, this one a slashing single to right. Sam reached second on Speaker's fu- tile peg to the plate and Miller's cap was grazed by a fast ball, but the pair of them were left when Harris lofted to Wood. With two away in the opener Speaker beat out a bunt that Ghar- rity couldn’t handle in time and ad- wvanced a notch on Wood's single to left. but Gardner left them when he flied to Miller. Speaker, with a regular hit to cen- ter in the fourth, was the next Indian to get on. He was forced at second by Gardner, after Wood died aerially, and Milan then chased back of the pavilion for Wood's long loft. A single by O'Neill, and Shanks' fumble of Sothoron’s roller put Redmen on second and first in round five. where- upon Evans popped to Gharrity and ‘Wamby forced Sothoron. Tribe Gets Lome Tally. It was in the sixth the Tribe reg- istered its lone tally. Speaker led by again beating out a bunt, this one to Shanks; took second on Wood's bingle to right, made third- when Gardner rolled to Harris and tallied while Sewell was foreing Gardner. Burns skied to Rice and nary an Indian reached the runways in the jast three rounds, when the Griffmen turned in play after play of the sort which evokes applause. A muffed third strike by O'Neill gave Judge a life in the seventh, but he got no farther than first. and in the eighth Shanks and Gharrity left Miller on second, which he reached on Sewell's fumble and a sacrifice by Harris.

In the Wake of the Game George McBride was back on the job again yesterday after #n absence of ten days, due to the accident that befell him in the White Sox geries. Although ! the manager still feels the effects of be- ing hit on the head with a thrown ball, he has recovered sufficiently to relieve Clyde Milan of the task of directing the team. Ladies’ day attracted 1,205 fair fans in addition to the more than 4,000 regulars, who paid real money at the gate. Yesterday Zeb Milan went hitless for the second successive time, after having clouted one or more safe for ten straight games, but he topped all his previous sparkling feats afield. In addition to galloping back of the pa- vilion to take Sewell's long fly in the fourth, he made a catch off O'Neill in round 2 that seldom has been equaled for brilliance. It was a liner well over toward center and back close to the scoreboard that Zeb clutched after a sharp sprint. He had to dive to reach the ball and turned over a couple of times, but never released his grip. The ovation he received for this great play was well deserved. Frank O'Rourke ran Milan a close second for fielding honors. Blackie made a remarkable bare-hand stab of a crack which took-a false hop to rob Evans of a hit in the seventh, and his handling of a mean bounder propelled by Wood close to the mid- way In the seventh was little less meritorious. O'Rourke was saved an error in the ninth by Judge, who scooped up Blackie’s low throw at a mean angle. This was the final put-out of the af- fray. Bill Wambsganss turned in the only noteworthy fielding feat performed by the Indians in the seventh when he raced over onto foul territory back of first base to stab Milan's looper. Tris Speaker vigorously voiced his objections to the half-balk motion Mogridge employs to keep runners glued to the bases. He orated at length with Umps Connolly, but Tommy failed to see where. George was violating the rules. Gharrity retired Gardner in the ninth when few conceded there was any chance to effect a put-out. Larry's foul appeared sure to strike the grandstand screen, but Pat stuck one foot in the gutter and speared the ball befcre it touched the netting. Speaker gzve Miller a long chase for his drive to deep left in the sev- enth and Rice had to travel almost an equal distance to-corral Sewell's crack in the ninth. What May Happen in Base Ball Today er part of the season being in evi- dence. Also the Pirates showed their usual reserve pitching strength, when Zinn took up the burden after Carl- son was sent to the showers. Grim, Pittsburgh first baseman, re- tired in the sixth from an injury re- ceived when he was hit on the shoul- der by a pitched ball. Frank Frisch tripled in the third, with two men on, and thereby scored the two runs with which New York took the measure of the Cardinals. Besides his triple, Frisch got a_dou- ble and single. Mueller of St. Louls also connected for three safe drives, one of them a double. Rixey, former University of Vir- ginia pitching star. “got his” in the game Cincinnati lost to Brooklyn, by 1 to 6. The Red hurler was not in his usual good form, and the Dodgers took to his delivery like ducks to water. McQuillan pitched fine ball for the Braves and won his game from the Cubs, by 6 to 1. The Windy City ag- gregation was not able to get in con- sistent connection with the delivery of the Boston hurler at any time dur- ing the contest, the one run made by it being due to a homer over the fence by Flack.

Chance said he ha@not received any word from club directors or President Veeck, but that if the manag hip were offered to him he would be “glad to get back in harness in Chicago. “My heart has always been with that ball club,” he adde “and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be at the head of it again. I won't apply for the job nor do I seek it, but if my friends want me back I owe it to them and to base ball to go back.” Chance headed the Chicago National record-winning teams of 1906, 1907 and 1908, Messages to Chance here came fol- lowing the removal of John J.

GREATEST TENNIS “BUG” TO SEE NATIONAL EVENT A request for a season ticket reserva- tion for the national tennis singies championship tournament at the Ger- mantown Cricket Club, Philadelphia, BY FAIRPLAY. N EW YORK, Al;gust 6—New York and New Jersey fight promoters, it was reported today, have received an official tip not to arrange any fights involving Jack Johnson. This is a result of the feeling among the authorities that Johnson, who brought the prize ring into disrepute, can do nothing but injure the fighting game. Indeed, there are certain shrewd promoters who believe that Johnson's activities in the ring would work toward ending the sport in certain important states. The best thing for boxing, they say, would be to keep Johnson in obscurity. If _you want to mee pure, unadul- terated happiness, go up to Bill Bren- nan's home at 100th street and Am- sterdam avenue, in this city, /and watch him acting the role of proud parent to a few days' old boy. Bill is 80 set up and proud that he doesn’t care who gets the next Dempsey fight. “Well, I'm not thinking about fight- ing just now. I've got other interests. If Rickard wants me to fight Demp- sev, he knows where I am. I won't be far from this cradle here. “But Rickard will have to hook me on this year some time, for early in 1922 I'm going to take the wife and boy for a tour of Europe. First we'll visit the wife's town, Ballaghadderen, county Roscommon, and let them see what the man looks like who made Champion Dempsey go to an ear doc- tor. Then we'll go to England and France. Maybe I'll take on a fight or two over there; it depends on what's oftered. But the trip is mainly pleas- ure. Mike Gibbons offers the curious spectacle of a fighter who has re- tained all his skill, all his speed, and vet has lost that youthful strength, iorder: which means the ability to hand out punishing blows. Mike can't scem to punch a hole in a cream puff any more, but he’s there when it comes to slipping, sidestepping, weaving in and out and delivering a rain of blows. He can open the way for his right and can land it, but it never sends an opponent's head back, let alone knock him out. POTOMACS TO TRY AGAIN Intermediate Crew, Which Failed in National Regatta, to Start in Senior Race. BUFFALO, N.
