Fohl's players are not flag winners and they have no hurler of the caliber of the Polish spitball star to use. but they play like world champions when opposed by the Nationals, so no prediction ex- cept that there will be a keenly con- tested battle can be made. Kolp or but in the final frame they hopped on Courtney and drove him to cover with a barrage of bingles that netted a ?\nrtet of runs and put the game on ce. Browns First to Score. St. Louis initiaged the scoring in round three, Shocker paving the way for the between Shanks and O'Rourke. He tallied on a triple to right center by Tobin that Miller stumbled over in tr: ing to retrieve and Tobin counted when Ellerbe blistered a single over the mids way. Ellerbee reached second when Rice put on a boxing match with the ball, but died at third when sler failed to connect with the hit-and-run sign displayed. Twice in this period the Griffmen were within scoring distance. In_the opener Rice Dbeat out a rap to Gerber in deep short and stole second only to be left " when Miller bit at a high ball, and in the second when Harris singled and Gharrity was beaned neither O'Rourke nor Courtney could help_them, while Rice’s scra‘cn safety to MacManus in the third was unsupported. The Browns made an unsuccessful bid for a tally in the fourth. After William: whiffed Jacobson singled sharply to right, moved up on Severeid’s bounder over Shanks’ head and reached third follow- ing Gerber’s fly to Ri McManus forced Severeid. Grifts Start in Fifth. Gharrity connected for a lone safe- ty in the rear end of this frame, but it was not till the fifth that the Na- column. Two were géne when Milan drew a pass, advanced on Rice's third straight hit and tallied on a safe smash to left by Miller, who reached second on a futile relay to nip Rice at third. This put it up to Harris, whose bounder to Ellerbe resulted in Miller being flagged on the line. Fohl's men employed the sacrifice to good advantage in the sixth. Three suicides, one of the aerial variety. a hit batsman and two singles, netted a Ppair of tallies.. Williams started with a bingle and reached second ahead of Courtney’s peg of Jacobson’s tap. The pair of them advanced on Severeid's bunt to Shanks. One counted on Ger- ber’s bingle to right and the other on McManus' long fly to Miller. Shocker then was wounded by a pitched ball and Milan registered the third out by grabbing Tobin's fly close to the field boxes. ‘The Griffs became sufficiently fa- miliar with Shocker's delivery in the domestic _end of this frame to get within one run of the visitors’ totai. Shanks started with a clean single to right, Gharrity rasped a safety through Ellerbe and the bases were loaded when O'Rourke scratched a safety over second, McManus preverit- ing a score with a great one-hand stab. anks ®cored. while Courtney was forcing O'Rourke, and Gharrity tallied on Judge's long fiy to Jacobson. Milan popped to McManus to end the round. Sew It Up in Ninth. Nothing further of moment_ devel- oped until the ninth, when the Browns laid the contest away in red flannel by soaking Courtney for a fistfu] of bingles and four runs. Austin sin- led to left and took second on Mil- er's fumble. Shocker sacrificed. Then followed a single by Tobin, a double by Ellerbe and safeties by Si ler and Williams, the latter’s produc- ing two runs, as Sisler had pilfered second. Schacht was summoned here and halted the festivities. Harris was stranded at second, * which he reached through his single and Williams' fumble in the seventh, and a similar fate befell Rice, wh made his fourth bingle, in the ninth— a mean hopper to Austin—and pro- ceeded unmolested to the midway, only to see Miller whiff for the final out. Noted of the Nationals Rice had a large afternoon, with a stolen base and four hits in five trips to the pan. Three of Sam's bingles were of the infleld variety. McManus said something that grat- ed on Connolly’s edrs when the lat- fter called Harris safe at the midway in round seven, and the second sacker was given the air. Jimmy Austin took his post. The veteran got a hit the plate. Frank Ellerbe looked good. as usual. at bat. He collected two singles and a double. The governor has been hitting well for the Browns, but has praoved something of a disappoint- ment in his flelding, especially on hard hit balls. The bewhiskered whacks used to be pie for him when he wore local livery. Rain began falling as the ninth jnning opened and the game was fin- ished in a drizzle. Box seat patrons of the crowd of 10,000 had their Sab- bath finery dampened. ‘Walter Gerber seems to have suf- fered none from his lay-off of a month, due to a broken finger. He is about the classiest flelding short- stop In the circuit. Both Rice and Miller were penalized with errors, the lattre twice, for per- mitting aliens to attain an extra base on safeties to their sectors through faulty handling of the ball. l ©. AB.

The game won by the Yankees was especially noteworthy in that it was the first this season in which they have been able to beat Red Faber, the steHar White Sox hurler. The Yankees are leading the race by just a little more tfan .001, and a loss for them with a victory for Cleveland will change the leadership. The exact standing of the teams is: New York, .622449; Cleveland, .621339. Cleveland was somewhat lucky to get away with its game with the Athletics, as it was compelled to cross the plate three times on Hasty in the final inning to get the verdict. ‘Rain stopped the Yankees-White Sox game at the end of the fifth. At that time both Faber and Collins, on the slab, were breezing along in fine shape, with every prospect for a £of- tinued brilliant contest.

WIL COACH ELIS AGAN Corderry Is Retained as Mentor of Oarsmen, According to Un- official Announcement. NEW HAVEN, August 8.—P. James Corderry -is to be retained as head coach of rowing at Yale, according to a_report published here. No official information could be obtained from athletic officials at Yale. Corderry is_an Englishman who was brought here by former Coach Nickalls to assist in the coaching. Following a oontroversy between Nickalls and the rowing officials of the university last spring, Corderry was placed in full charge of the Yale crews when they reached Gales Ferry for final practice before the regatta with Harvard. Contrary to predictions, Yale won the varsity race and also defeated Harvard in the freshman contest. Corderry is thirty-one years old, and was born in Putney, England. family were prominent in rowing affairs in England. The captain of the Yale varsity is Langhorne E ment of the various top-line contend Take Norris Williams’ victory over Vincent Richards at Newport last week. Popularly the defeat of the young New Yorker was unexpected, but it was not at all a surprise to those who knew the mental qualities of the two men. Norris_Williams is an old warrior who takes his game as he finds it and does not worry. Richards always ig serious and high strung. ‘There are many who believe that Wil- liams’ game suffers from his lightness of-mood. Often in returning a ball to an opponent—when play is in prog- ress—he will dropkick it over the net and in various ways he reveals fun- making proclivities” which make some tennis enthusiasts laugh and others frown. 3 Bill Tilden always is strung up. He rags the ball boys and shows his ner- vous pitch by throwing' away a point to immediately after the referee has given him a line decision which he believes to have been erro- neous.

This would not prevent Rickard from glving Benny an opportunity to get beaten up, nat- urally, but Leonard, the other hand, has not seemed inclined to give him that pleasure.

As for Carpentier, T am ot worrying about his meeting Gibbons. The light-heavy championship bout is on. Carpentier has signed an agree- ment, and all that waits to be done is for him to send word when he will be able to begin training. That bout un- doubtedly will be here in the garden and I am counting on November 1. Tex Bars Ball Parks. Rickard says that New York's trouble over fight crowds is caused by only one thing—ball parks. Tex may be regarded as the great fight arena authority of the world, and any- thing he says on the subject ought to carry weight. 2 “Nothing to ball parks as places for fights,” said Tex. “You know, when I first came to New York they took rhe ver all the city ball parks and parks in other cities. But there was not one that interested me. A ball park is a place from which to see ball games, designed for that purpose and no other. As a setting for a prize fight it is makeshift. A ‘crowd can't be handled inside it; can't be con- trolled. The architecture of the structure is against this. “You can set apart some of the grandstand as a twenty-five or fifty dollar section, but you can't keep people who haven’t bought these high-priced tickets out of those sections. Every time there has been a night fight in a ball park there has been trouble. Rights of ticket pur- chasers have not been respecte¢ and every one has run wild. It couldn’t be any other ‘way. I wouldn't think of trying to hold a night fight in a ball park. It can't be lighted prop- erly and the crowd can't be handled. As” for the day time, that is bad enough.” i i ' | | A point pera- h AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. Minneaolis. 3. ers. always may be relied upon to give his best in any important match.
