The proof came yesterday when the New York correspondent of a London newspaper received orders to cable daily the scores of all games in the National and American leagues and the scores of Canadian teams in the International league. So many Americans are now in England—and more arriving daily— that the British newspapers are trying to get special features to please them. “RABBITT” DENIES IT. Braves ‘ Shortstop Says He Has Not Enlisted, But May Do So. Boston, June 21.—Walter Maran- ville, shortstop of the Boston Nation- al league baseball club yesterday denied that he had enlisted in the naval reserve. “I have not eénlisted yet,” Maranville sald, “though I have been thinking about it. I probably will not join until October, after the season is over, but I'd like to go in the naval reserve if I'm called out first.” The statement that Maranville had enlisted was made by a friend of the shortstop last night.

HELPFUL TO YANKS ;| (HENDRYX'S HOMERS |BASEBALL WRITERS PEAVED AT WGRA Sir 'l‘imoflly Sends Ball Into Glmts'mderlaylhin Do Bleachers Twice in First Game New York, June 21.—Yesterday was Home Run Day on the Polo Grounds for Timothy Hendryx, cor- poral in the Yankee infantry and for- merly private in the Florida National Guard. Tim rammed two _homers into the left fleld bleachers in the first half of a twin bill, and it was most fortunate for the Yankees that he set off these explosives. Twice these circuit clouts knotted the score and in the ninth inniig Pipp and Nunamaker squeezed in the, winning run, enabling the Gotham band to win by a score of 3 to, 2. In the second game Timothy sub- sided. through the fiy hawk Hooper pulled down one clout from his can- non which had & very homerunny appearance. As a consequence the world’s.champions were the lads who broke a tie in the ninth {nning. Boston winning an even split on' the day’'s fighting by tramping home a 3 to 1 victory. Hendryx's home runs came in suc- cessive times at bat in the opening muas. It is true in the first inning Tim tested his range when he sent & crash iInto the bleachers which was foul by a few feet. With Boston ahead 1 to 0, Hendryx led off the; New York half of the sixth by lining out a drive well over the bleacher fence. By the time Tim came to bat again in the eighth the champs of the universe again had taken the lead by & run, but once more the biffing Dixie Irishman emashed a homer into the bleachers tying it up. This drive landed down near the foul line, and the blond thatched Sam Agnew argued so long and loudly that it was out of bounds that Bill Dineen be- came a trifie bored, not to say riled. and dismissed Samuel for the after- noon.

CHAMPION FORCED HARD- Miss Bjurstedt Strikes a Tartar in Bay Stater and Is Forced to Top Speed .to Win. Phnadelphiu, June 21 —It was only by calling to her aid her most furious driving for the lines and her most brilliant volleying at the net that Miss Molla Bjurstedt, national woman champion, came through victoriously yesterday against Miss Marion Zinder- stein, of West Newton, Mass., in'the third round of the wamen's mational lawn tennis tournameént on the turf courts of the Philadelphia Cricket club at St. Martin's. The girl from the North won by a score’ of 6—d, 7—?5, and that score does not half tell the story of the struggle for the mastery. ' Miss Bjurstedt unieashed her swiftest backhand drives for the deep carners. Miss Zinderstein responded with a backhand just as swift. The national champion tried to drive her young opponent back from the net by the sheer power of her famous fore- hand drive. In this the girl from New England matched her with a truly remarkable “wallop.” There is no other word for it, HOLY CROSS BEATS BROWN.
