L, “I saw a double play that wasn't = re- corded in most papers as a ‘fast dauble play.’ Is this a world’s reco-d or not?"—No, it only ties the record. The Yanks suffered an extensive slump and then started back up at a merry clip. They dropped fourteen cut of seventeen contests and then, applying the brakes, won a batch of games in a row. Which 1s additional evidence that the Yahks are on their way out of the old rut, Any Use? It's Epoch Making.

F. 8. W., Portsmouth, Va. Baseball Interest. “Is baseball,” queries a ‘western editorial page, - “losing grip?} Is it waning in interest?” An exceedingly larg number of folks would answer yes. But base- ball isn’t waning in interest any more ihan any other amusement or recre- otion is waning for the time being under the red shadow of the great- est sorrow and the greatest disaster the world has ever known—the red shadow of two million dead and an- cther two million on tneir way to die. Baseball hasn't suffered as much ag, the theater where good shows ‘as well as bad have had to struggle for even brief runs. But tvor all that middle its | than most club owners figured it would be and there is still keen in- terest left In close races now featuring the major leagues. There will beiat least three clubs in the American league in the race until September this season, and possibly four or five in the National. And the fanatic, in thege fortunate cities, will be just about as frenzied as ever, even ‘though general interest be a trifle subdued in comparison. Sporting Art. It would be hard te say which of these stands out as the most artistic sight for sporting vision to gaze upon: 1. | Larry Lajoie stepping into a fast ‘one. 2. Tris Speaker circling out for a long drive. Ty Cobb hitting the dirt into LIGHT 4. Chick Evans playing a full iron to the green. 5. McLoughlin at the moment of his serve. 6. Eddie Mahan returming a punt through a broken fleld. Each of these would have its fol- lowing, but the combined effect shows that sport has its beauty and rhythm 28 well as its thrill. In driving Cobb out of baseball, Mr. Johnson will have the hearty support of, practically all the pitchers and catchers in the American league. But it is difficult to drive Ty ten inches away from the plate, much less beyond the confines of eight large. tall parks. Concerning Mr, Wood. When at the top of his stride, Joe Wood must be ranked as one of the that bardest pitchers to beat ever | faced the ash. ‘Wood hasn’t the dura- bility or the stamina that Alexander ang others carry, but in so far as the no “stuff” is concerned he has su- perior, This dope stands the records, and 1912 was the rast season that found Wood in good physical shape. Through that campaign he won thirty-four games and lost but five, for a mark of .872. He hasn’t been physically fit since, proved by ] but 1915 stands as a fair example of the point we are shooting at. Al- though only able to work at wide in« tervals most of the yezr, Wood has lost but one. game out of seven starts, and almost without exception he hasg been extremely effective from first to last. In this condition Wood is sure to be a vital factor in the flag - race, for he is a pitcher, when in good physical condition, who has the knack of winning an abnormal percentage of his games. Needless. “Won’t you,” asks a Yankee fan, “please put in & boost for Doc Cook #& a base runner?” The genial Doc doesn't require any boost as a' base Tunner. The record is: boost enough. Although batting under .250 he is next to Cobb with a matter of 25 steals to his |credit, These figures alone shout encomiums Letter and louder than any large bale of ‘words could ever hope to do. Add Great Thoughts. “War,” sagely observes Colonel W, J. Bryan, “is a nuisance.” The Colonel might also add that “smailpox is un- pleasant’—*the cholera is no very great fun” and ":mpumtlon of a neck. is always an annoyance.” Still ‘Colonel Bryan 1s well quali- fied’ to speak on what a nuisance is. As -an expert in that line he is seven- teen lengths beyond the tield. One Reason. There, may be several Teasons why Francls Oiumet and Walter Hagen have landed in front in the last two American open golf championships. Some of these reasons might easily have to'do with driving, approaching #nd putting. But certainiy there is no greater reagon than the exceeding- ly fine. and easy golng dispositions shown by both. This temperament that makes light of all trouble and that ‘is above any missea shot is the vital factor, after all; for where there are any number who can drive, ap- proach ‘and putt—when tneir nervous system is under control—there are only a very few who can march along without - permitting harassing throbs to upset their game—especially after a tough break of fortune runs in an extra ‘stroke or so. Branch Rickey has gamerty tried a rumber of things to hoist the Browns out. of the grotto, but. ne has over- looked the main ingredient of them gli—viz, dynamite. PIONEERS V§ INTER-CITY TEAM. Crack Hartford Club Coming Here Looking for a Scalp. ‘With the object of breaking the winning streak of the Pioneers of this city, the crack Inter-City team of Hartford will journey out here Sun- day afternoon to mingle with the Sand Bank ‘hoys, at the Ellis street dia- mand. - The game is creating unusual interest in both cities and the visitors will" be ‘accompanied by a crowd of rooters. Church and Meda will be in points for the Capitol City.team while Ahern, Winkler, Johnson and McKeon will work for the locals. Manager Norton has secured an um- pire from - Hartford to officiate for the remainder of the season. SOUTHPAW KOOB JOINS BROWNS, Boston, June 18.—Koob, the sen- sational southpaw of the Western Michigan State Normal school, sup- posédly the baseball property of the Tygers, joined the St. Louls Browns today after an all night ride from Kalamazoo. Koob was sought by scouts of “at least half a dozen big league teams. When Jennings was here he said Koob would play with tha.’l‘ygem .FRATERI!AL LEAGUE MEETING.

This was the sixth consecutive victory for New York. Mr. Caldwell did not reap the full possibility of glory, because he failed to entertain with any of his astute home run hitting specialties. He contented himself with scoring a whole flock of runs and pitching a brand of ball that was above reproof until the closing session. The score: r. h. e 000000003—3 6 1 New York ..00103030*—7 90 Battereis—Jones, Harstad and O’Neil; Caldwell and Sweeney. Cleveland Much Scoring in This Gamee.
