Win New York, Aug. 24.—Jacques Four- lier—Deeg Jack from the Northwest— e’s ver' popular with the ankees today. M. Fournier usually plays first base pr the purity-hosed ball team of harles Comiskey, the venerable Chi- jagoan, but at the Polo Grounds yes- rday he did most of his playing for e Yankees. There was a prevalent uspicion along about the elghth in- hing of the last encounter between he White Sox and Yankees, that herc was a nice, cozy berth in sixth place yawning for the return of the onovonities, when Fournier came to lheir rescue and made an error, which bas chiefly responsible for the fankees tallylng four times and re- rieving by a score of 5 to 4 a game lhey had practically tossed away in fhe fifth inning. Incidentally Mogridge and Fisher bitched great ball the former allow- Jhg two hits in five innings and the atter ono in four.

There has been just enough of a southerly breeze to tempt the ladies to try their hands at sailing the small vachts, the only trouble being a short- age in the number of craft for the would-be sailors. However, twenty- three yachts were mustered for the opening regatta, one of the conditions of which was “ladies only permitted at the tiller from the time of pre- paratory signal to conclusion of race. The course lay from the Atlantic club- house dock across the bay to Benson- hurst, thence east along shore to Fort Hamilton and then back to the club- house dock, a distance of 7.3 nautical miles when sailed twice around, the movements of the yacht being visible over the whole course.
