Ielder | Jones, of the St. Louis Americans, made this known when he announced that Plank had left the team last Saturday and gone to his home at Gettysburg, Penn.

Aug. 15.—There was a little variation to usual procedure of yesterday’s double-header between the Giants and Dodgers at the Polo Grounds. The twin boroughs divided the bill fairly enough.. And, as us- ' ual, New York took the first. The scores were 5 to 4 and 3 to 1, respec- | tively. But the games were only in- cidental. One of the finest young family rows developed during the second battle, and as a result our own Artie Fletcher and Casey Stengel, of Flatbush, were A free-for-all melee was promised when the arbiters and some of the cooler heads of both sides suppressed the threatened civil war. The row developed in the sixth in- ning of the second game, after Jake Daubert had sewed up the contest for the champions with one of the | many home runs of the afternoon. This belt into the right field ,stand, with Olson on the paths, gave the Flatbush representatives a 3 to 0 lead. Naturally Jeff Tesreau,’ who trifle peeved. Casey Stengel, who because of his belligerency is anything but popular pretty hard by the fans all afternoon. of Obarks Mountain man. Stengel’s temper was not improved in this sixth inning, when Tesreau nicked him on the shoulder with a pitch that looked very much like a “bean” ball. The fact that Stengel had had to duck a couple of times in.earning a | base on balls on his previous time at bat (in the fourth) made him sus- picious of Tesreau’s designs. Casey exchanged compliments with the husky pitcher on the way to the bag. “Yes, I intended to get you, and T'1l get some more of you stiffs,” Tes- reau is reported to have flung at Stengel, according to the story of non-combatants of both teams. “All right, then,” Stengel shot back; “keep out of my way, or Tl get somebody in return.” Stengel took a long lead off first I Tesreau whipped the ball over, T Second Game. r. h e Brooklyn . 000102000—3 5 1 New York .. 000000001—1 5 1 Batteries: Marquard and Wheat; Tesreau, Anderson and Rariden.

A pass to Cravath, the substitution of Dugey as a runner, Luderus’ in- fleld out and Whitted’s single to left scored the visitor’s run in the first half of the tenth.

The game was a pitching duel be- tween Cooper and Douglas, but the latter could not stand the .strain. Jackson, after one was out, hit to left, and stretched his hit into a double. On the hit and run, Bigbee singled and Jackson raced home, Af- ter Bigbee was out, stealing, Carey singled and scored on Boeckel's double.

But Fletcher, losing his head, de- liberately raised his right foot on high, and with all his weight came down with his sharp steel on the pros- trate Jegs of Stengel. A second after- ward it looked as if a cage of wild- cats had been turned loose among a family of leopards. Stengel sprang up, swinging with i both hands, about as dexterously as | an open-faced watch. Fletcher kicked | at him as he came, but landed high.

Some + wild shouts. The principals, now tightly gripped, struggled to shake free to hurl them | selves at one another. Grandstand stuff! A few minutes later they were walking off the fleld without a show | of feud. Wilbert Robinson, manager of the Dodgers, waddled up just after the belligerents had been split out. McGraw didn’t join battle till Fletcher and Stengel had started their re- treat. John Joseph was not in a re- | pudiating state of mind. When the teams finally were separated the Giants weat to resume their positions in the fleld. But um- pire Hank O'Day waved the Polo Grounders in and the Dodgers out. Hank turned to the press box holding up three fingers, to signify Brooklyn had been retired. It then developed that Fletcher, in swinging at Stengel, had tagged him with the ball while Casey was off the bag, and thereby retired the side. Um- pire Harrison calls time for nothing —not even a battle royal And then the chant of battle echoed in the grandstand, just be- hind third base. A few hard-souled residents of Brooklyn had perched there among the dyed-in-the-wool Giant rooters. One ventured an opin- lon that Fletcher should be hanged. In just about two seconds he had a shanty over his eye on which you might hang your hat. Half a dozen other jousts threat- ened, but the police split out the fac- tions and restored order. It was an afternoon that took the fans back to the days of fifteen years ago, when the Little Napoleon not only brow- beat the umpires, but locked them out of the grounds when so disposed.
