YANKS BREAK EVEN IN HOLIDAY BILL *Red Sox Champs Take A. I, Game But Lose Second New York, broke even in their I Sept. 5.—The Yankees hor Day games at the Polo Grounds yesterday, losing the tilt to the Boston Red to 1. They came hack strong in the afternoon and just morning Sox by a score of 7 barely beat the world’s champions out in a blazing ninth inning finish by a score of 4 to 3. A crowd of more 10,000 and over 25,000 persons were jammed into the big siands at the afternoon ‘un{«vrluinnwnl. Bob Shawkey gave a great exhibi- tion of pitehing in the afternoon, and for eight innings he had the Boston sluggers eating out of his hand and held them to three hits. Boston staged a seething rally in the ninth and scored three runs, leveling up the score at 3 to 3. In their half of the ninth the Yankees got busy on Carl M and after filling up the bases Mays uncorked a wild pitch and Lee Magee scooted home with the winning tally. The defeat of the Sox in the after- noon found favor with the big crowd, as it pulled Boston down a hit, while Detroit went up dangerously close to the champions. A Detroit or White Sox victory in the pennant cha would be more popular with New York baseball fans than a repetition hy the Hub's great team, as Boston Has monopolized the world’s series at- traction for several years. There were loud cheers when it was posted on the scoreboard that the Detroit's were trimming Cleveland.

The Value of Having Your Own Ref- eree is Demonstrated in Welsh- Semky Ought to Try It. Colorado Springs, Col, Sept. b5.— Freddie Welsh retained his title of champion lightweight pugilist of the world yesterday after going the full scheduled twenty rounds with chal- lenger Charlie White of Chicago. Ref- eree Billy Roche of New York, award- ed Welsh the decision on points. As the gong sounded at the close of the twentieth round, Roche stood for several moments as if undecided. He then reached out both hands to- ward the boxers and many of the spectators believed he was about to award a draw. Suddenly, Welsh rushed over to Roche, and placed his glove in the referee’s hand and it was raised aloft, while the official appeared to be reaching for White. The next instant jubilant friends of the cham- pion swarmed into the ring. When Referee Roche announced his decision in favor of Welsh, the challenger’s adherents appeared for the moment spellbound. Then hun- dreds of cushions were hurled from all directions at the referce. He was hed through the crowd by friends waiting automobile. Guarded by a policeman, the vehicle was speeded up the road to a hotel, while hundreds of men and boys rushed after it until it distanced them. From a spectator’s standpoint the battle was considered one of the poor- est that has ever been fought for the highest ring honors in the lightweight division. For fully two-thirds of the time the fighters were locked In a succession of clinches—and pushing each other back and forth about the ring. For thi many spectators thought Welsh was largely to blame. Throughout the contest of twenty rounds, scarcely a blow was struck by either man that did any damage. Of the blows exchanged White’s carried the greater power. While Welsh fre- quently was on the aggressive and did his share of the leading, it was notice- able that many of his blows fell short and failed to reach thelr mark. Roche stated after the fight that he awarded Welsh the decision because he did most of the leading. With consummate generalship ~ Welsh, throughout virtually all the fight- ing, worked with his back to the sun, forcing White to face the hot glare. Neither man drew blood from his op- ponent and neither showed any par- ticular evidence of having been in a championship battle. Welsh fought carefully and took no chances with his opponent’s famous left hand. On sev- eral occasions when it appeared likely that it might land, the champion was backing away so that the force of the blows was spent when they reached him. ‘White Bout: JOHNSTON VS. WILLIAMS. Murray and Griffin Bow to Champ and Contender Yesterday. Forest Hills, L. I, Sept. 5.—Ameri- ca’s classic of the courts at Forest Mills today will be a battle of real William M. Johnston of present holder of the and Richard Norris Williams 2d of Philadelphia, title winner in 1914, emerged victorious from the semi-finals yesterday after- noon before a crowd of 12,000. They will meet for the crown at half past 3 o'clock today. In winning their matches in three straight sets Johnston and Willlams not only scored with unexpected ease, but set what is probably a record for the ante-final round of the national tournament. Johnston required only for to dispose of Rob- ¢ of California and New Jersey, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1, while Wil- liams took only a little more than an hour to eliminate Clarence J. Griffin of San Francisco, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. Not within the ken of the oldest follower of national competition had the semi- finals been so easily or so quickly won. Johnston and Willlams well night outclassed their opponents. Each at- tained a height of form he had not approached this season, and made certain a struggle in the final that will be well worthy of the honor and dignity of the title. Johnston played by far the best tennis he has shown tennis titans. San Francisco, championship, PHILS PLAGE SKIDS UNDER DODGERS Fiith Straight Defeat Sends Robbie’s Men to Second Place Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 65.—The Phillies sent the Dodgers to their fifth straight defeat by taking both ends of a double header here yesterday, sweeping the series with the Robins and advancing into a tie with them for second place, just .002 points behind the Braves. The scores of yesterday's games were: Phillies 2, 1; Phillies 10, Brooklyn 3. Manager Robinson brought eight pitchers into th'e double combat in a down a league-leading Brooklyn final endeavor to stem the tide' of de- feat, but against the hard hitting of last year's champions, combined with the erratic plays of the Dodgers, his task was a hopeless onc. Home runs decided the first game, Stock and Lu- beat Brooklyn. Hard hitting, four costly errors by the deprived Robinson of the chance he had to take one victory out of the five contests, in the second. At least 10,000 baseball fans from this city and different parts of Penn- sylvania stayed away from the games rather than pay exorbitant prices for tickets, thousands of which came into the possession of speculators before the game began. The police estimat- ed that yesterday’s crowd outside of the park w larger than the crowd which gathered at the same spot when the world’s series was played. Tickets which ordinarily sell at the box office for $1 brought as high as $10 and $15. Almost every speculator was accompanied by a delegation of six or seven assistants, who shouted through megaphones that they had choice seats for sale.

Mass., Sept. 5.—An even break was the best the Glants could get in a holiday double bill against the Braves before two big crowds yes- terday. McGraw’'s men gave Boston a. 3 to 2 victory in the morning, thus sending the Braves into f place. But in the afternoon N times ov me one-run l¢ tained by lling’s Warriors, and then won in a gallop, 8 to 3, the game breaking up when the Giants reaped a harvest of four runs against Ed Reulbach in the eighth inning. Brooklyn’s failure to come through in the fifth game at Philadelphia, however, saved the Braves from drop- ping out of the position they obtained in the morning. The Giants showed lots of fight in the afternoon. The game seemed lost when four errors were piled up in one inning, but the Braves got only one run out of the misplays and then New York started after Reulbach. The score was tied, 3 to 3, when the Giants came to bat in the eighth. Luck broke badly when Snodgra dropped Zimmerman’s short fly.

Pittsburgh,” Sept. 5—Pittsburgh shut out St. Louis twice here yestérday, the score in the morning game being 7 to 0 and in the afternoon game 2 to 0. In the first game Pittsburgh scored one run in the fifth inning when F. Miller struck at a wild pitch for the third strike, reaching second, and scoring from there on another wild pitch. Effective pitching by Cooper enabled the Pirates to win the second contest. Their first run was made in the first inning, when Carey singled, took ond on Long's fumble, third on V son’s bad throw, and scored on Big- bee’s double. McCarthy's double Fischer's and Cooper’s sacrifice hits in the fifth resulted in the second run. The scores: (Morning game). 10021210x 000000000—0 4 Miller and Schmidt; les.

Mathewson was returned the win- ner, the score being 10 to 8. This gave Cincinnati an even break of the holiday bill, Chicago having won the first game, 3 to 0. The Cubs touched Mathewson for fifteen hits, while the Reds gathered nineteen off Brown. Many of the hits were for extra bases each team making a total of twenty- five bases.
