It was with one out and Mullizan on first by virtue of a base on balls that Col- Jins clouted a potential home run to right center. It scemed impossible that Sam could get over and back far enough to reach the sphere, but a long dash and flying leap enabled him to spear it with his gloved hand. Rice Scores Only Tally. Tt seemed fitting that it should be Rice who scored the only tally of the pastime. The plaudits of the multi- tude occasioned b nd sensa- | tional catch were still ringing In his cars when he strode to the platter in the final frame and smote the first ball pitched to conter for a single. Judse's sacrificlal tan put him on the midway. Shanks was victimized on atrikes at this juncture and it seemed the Griffs again were destined to be thwarted when Brower raised a mile- high fly in front of the plate. Sheely called for it and jockeyed’to get set, but the strong breeze drove it back toward the plate. The first baseman sprinted on and when within a few steps of the platter reached it, but the ball filtered through his mitts just as Rice toed the block with the lone counter. > Brower attained second on the mis- cue and reached the far corner when Piainich beat out a bounder to Ernie Johnson in deep short. Val then was forced by Peck. but it mattered not. for Mostil, Falk and Sheely could make no headway against Johnson in the Sox last turn at bat. 1 inte the run column in the rted with af after Brower it ! | | Rice, Judg: | Shan Brower, b, inpavgh, N p. {E.

Williams clouted out his sev- enteenth home run, besides a triple. and Sisler registered a double and homer. Waite Hoyt lasted less than an in- | ring against the slugging Indians and as the bats of Babe Ruth and his mates were silenced by Goveleskie, { Speakers’ men took the first game {from the New Yorkers, 9 to 2.

Then Manager Davies of | the Ancient City attacked Catcher | Charley Larzo of Palatka. A series of impromptu fistic encounters were taged in the grandstand in a gen- eral disturbance that followed. Cool heads prevailed, however, and the game continued, with St. Augustine making three runs in the seventh and |two in the peaceful part of the | eighth. Bat when a runner that would have given the locals a lead was called out at the plate the storm broke anew. Third Baserhan Carter of the locals dashed from the dugout and struck Umpire Pool. Cliff Colle, a local player, took Carter to task and the two engaged in a fight back of the stands. while pandemonium broke loose in the stapds. Judge O. B.

June 19.—Morvich, no {longer “the unbeaten” was expected {to leave today in his special car for Latonia, K There, in a special §50,000 race next Saturday against the cream of three-year-old thorough- breds, he will seek to regain the prestige he Jost when he was beaten badly by Harry Payne Whitney's Whiskaway in the Carleton Stakes at_Aqueduct. The execution of Morvich's defeat, on his thirteenth start, is given in one word—speed. Whiskaway was too fast for him. The handicap in welghts undoubtedly had its effect on the showing of the Block colt, but it would have taken more than a super-horse to match the pace Whisk- away set from the barrier to finish. Clocked In 0.45 at the half-mile, the Whitney colt was more than a second faster than the American re- cord for this distance, 0.461-5, and finished the mile just a second slower than the American record of 1.353-5, set by Audaclous. ‘Whiskaway, as well as Pillory, win- ner of the rich Preakness and Bel- mont stakes, is expected to enter the iLatonia special this week, and at even welghts with Morvich. g Firpo Lauds Yankees MONTEVIDO, June 19.—Luls An- gel Firpo, heavwelght pugalistic champion of South America, has ar- rived here from the United States.

The seventh is a good two-shot hole to an elevated green, where the tee shot must be both long and straight to secure the par 4, while the eighth is a gem, with every premium placed on a fine second shot to & well trapped green. The ninth is the old fourth, eventually to be replaced by a one-shot hole. From the ninth the course takes in the old fifth, sixth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, the combined thirteenth and four- teenth, the new stxteenth, a good two-shot hole, and the old seven- teenth and eighteenth. Altogether, the course has_been very much improved and stiffened. and although the greens committee made it mandatory yesterday for players to tes up through the new fairways, the holes were found none too easy to reach.

June 19.—Qualitying play in the British open golf champion- ship tournament was started today un- der ideal weather conditions. A gentle west wind swept the two courses—the Prince’s and the Royal St. George's— and the turf was in excellent condition, having benefited from recent rains. More than 200 competitors hoped to qualify in this the greatest golfing event of the vear.

And the unprecedented success that has marked the college game in the middle west is a most interesting phase of a sport which, when the present season began, was regarded as on the wane. Indeed, in the central areas of the country certain college were talking of dropping the game from the roster of intercollegiate | gports and carrying track athieties| along to fill its place. But the current scason in the middle | west has seen much better attendance | at games and there are hopes that as | time goes on the sport will be placed | in the money-making class. It is a! curious fact that only at Harvard. Princeton and Yale, whose big three | series will draw from ten to twenty thousand, is base ball a real money- maker. | For this reason, if for no other, thera | there is reazon to doubt that the! game will ever be dropped or even subordinated in the big three col- leges. For example, receipts of the! Yale base ball season of 1915 and 1916 were §$40.514.56 and $46,578.54 respec- tively and this is about the average | for Yale as for Harvard and Prince- ton. At most colleges base ball is a small | producer if not a liability. Its chief value is as a high light commence- ment day function, games being play- cd against natural rivals. Reasc given for lack of support of college base ball by the public is that it has| been educated by organized teams. It| knows too much about goud base bail| to be willing to put up with an in-| ferior brand. The teams of the middle west and of the south have shown improved quality this season, with the result of better attendance and something | significant about the appearance of the financial budgets. In the south espedially the progress of the Ugi- versity of North Carolina nine—said to be one of the finest teams this| country has seen in a long time—was enthusiastically followed. There is a movement on at the pres- ent time in the middle west to induce good eastern and southern college nines to visit the west next spring in the interest of further awakening en- thusiasm for the college games.
