Clark | Griffith had no more idea of losing | that game than he had of climbing | to the top of Cleopatra’s Needle in | i Central Park. Alas for Griff and for Johnson! Miracles will never end. The Yanks sviped out three-fourths of that lead | in their turn of the first, passed | Washington in the second, and | copped the bacon, 6 to 5. The Rup- | pert and Huston cadets were sa! | elated at spiking the Washington | atling gun in the first section of their double-header that they ; wrerked the ‘afternopn for several | hundred worthy burghers from Hackensack, who made it a hollday to see Harry Harper, a natiy son, pitch the second game. Harry had the misfortune to run inta ciick Cullop, the Virginia Cannon Ball Express, and the Jersey youth suc- cumbed by a score,of 5 to 1. It ! a pretty home-coming celebration for | the tribe of Donovan, and was duly appreciated and approved by a goodly | throng of 12,000. There may be an extra inning jinx on the Polo Lawn, which sticks its prongs into Manhattan teams when- ever they pass nine innings, but the | jinx does not run to double-headers. The Yanks have plaved three twin | bills on the Fabian meadow this sea- son and have won them all.

It would be interesting to know just what part the weather has plaved in Mathewson's carcer the last two Years. Last spring and summer brought the start of Matty's trouble, and if you recall the details the weather was cold and raw all through the first two | months. So the renowned Wing started to gaing badly for the first time in 15 rears. This spring at Marlin, where the weather was fairly warm, Matty ctarted back. But since arriving at home in April he has seen but little | sunny weather, so he has had no chance to meet the decisive test. With warm weather to work in we little doubt but that Matty would be back around the crest. He has proven on several occasions that he still packs the stuff.
