DMiller solved the trick by pitching Mogridge against little Ber- nard. Long Geoerge can't beat any- body else, but he surely can take the hcodoo off Boland. Huggins learned last d rous western Yanks. The Tigers the Yanks in four straight games, and Jennings sent in Boland to grab off the fifth game and clean up the ser ies. Being pretty well out of pitcher: Huggins called on Mogridge to oppose him, and George hadn’t won a game up to that time. The game lasted only six ipnings, and Mogridge copped it by a score of 2 to 0. Yesterday Huggins figured what can be done once can be done again. So again Mogridge got the call to oppose Boland and again it worked. George had about six horseshoes hidden around him on the Polo grounds yes- terday. He nosed out the Tigers with Boland pitching, by a scare of to 4. Still. Boland is considerably ahead of the game. Since he hroke into the league in 1915, he has defeat- ed the Yankees 15 times.

Yale Management Will Adopt This Admission Price Next 1. New Haven, Aug. 2.—Football at two bits a smash. That’s the price of admission which Yale will . probably adopt for its preliminary contests on the Alexander Wilson gridiron in the wl next fall. . This charge, togeth- with the elimination of the gov- tax, wil be within the reach d is expected to prove the timulus for a revival of ifiterest in @ -sport here. The idea of reducing the price of .admission originated with several of the undergraduate sport leaders who plan to bring the matter before the athletic association as soon as the university reopens in the fall. It will then have to be adopted by the hoard of control. Foothall, at this price, it is argued, will derive a larger reve- nue than the charge in vogue three years ago. Dr. Al Sharpe, necwly appointed athletic director, is expected to ar- Tive here about September 1. He is now summering at Lake Chautauqua, Pa., but manages to keep in touch with the football situation here. He expects to greet a squad of 125 candi- dates at the opening practice, sched- wuled for September 15. James M. Braden, ex-captain of the track team and president of the “Y’ club, announced last night that $5,000 has already been raised by popular subscription to be spent in - altering the new club in High street. It is planned to have the training table, lounging and reading rooms installod by the time the football players re- port, Edward Moriarty, prominent citizen, is expected to rc- ceive the appointment of manager and steward of the “Y” club. Mr. Moriarty is well quaified for this pos tion and is also held in high esteem by’ Yale men. Broadw: PERRY QUITS GIANTS. Returns te His Home—May Bc Re- leased. Cincinnati, Aug. —Poll Perritt has left the Giants and returned to his home in New York. Perritt has failed to come 1 in the manner ex- pected of him this season. It is reported that he is soon to be released by the New Yorlk club. YANKS SIGN DE VITALIS. New York, Aug. 2.—The American league club yesterday signed Mareo de Vitalis, a former Brown university pitcher. De Vitalis pitched for Brown in 1916, but went to the Plattsburg officers’ training camp the next spring.

HELPING GIANTS WIN and Two Minor Leaguers. New York, Aug John McGrav Giant manager, further reinforced h pitching staff yesterday by obtaining Arthur Nehf, star left handed pitcher of the Boston Braves, in exchange for pitchers Cecil Causey Joe Ocschg John Paul Jones and Catcher Geo O'Neill. It also is understood that the Boston club ohtained considerable | cash by reason of the deal. Jones is now with the Toronto club of the International league and O'Neill with the Rochester club of the same league. Both of thes have been let out on options des the fact that the minor leagu decided against the old pract taking players on options The deal unquestionably will start a fresh rumpus around the National league circuit and will make the Giants still more unpopular in the West, where the club is being accused of “buying the pennant.” Nehf is one of the best left handers in the game, but he has been held down by pitching on the Boston club. He is a little fellow, but has a great amount of speed and a sharp break- ing curve that makes batsmen pop up little flies when trying to hit it. Of the players let go by New Yor Causey and Oeschger have been only so much excess baggage. Causey con- tributed quite a few victories to the Giants in the spring, but he never was a high class pitcher and most of his victories were due to the heavy slug- ging behind him. He had the title of being the luckiest pitcher on the tiant team. He is suffering with a | bad arm, and practically has been of no use to the Giants. TWO PLAYERS DESERT MACK. Inficlders Dugan French Leave of and Dowd Athletics. Philadelphia, Aug. 2.—With players gone by desertion and on the s the Athletics’ at present Is Belgium’'s at the height of the Hun invasion. Inficld- crs Joe Dugan and Dowd have jumped the club, while George Burns, Ired Thomas, and Scott Perry are under the care of physicians, suffering with colds and stomach trouble. The desertion of Dugan caused a big surprise, but the loss of Dowd is slight. Dugan, who had been out of the game for several days with a sore thumb came from his home in New Haven, Thursday, and played one game with the Mackmen. Iol- lowing that game he claimed that his sore thumb interferred with his grasp on the bat and that he also was sick. Without saying anything to any one of the team, he took French Take two three plight with the Bridgeport league team sev- Braves Club Owners Dispose of Art | Nebf for Two Mcdiocre Perfermers | 119 to 0. | a bit unsteady and he was replaced by leave for his home in New Haven and that has been the last heard of him. f This is the second flop Dugan has taken. Two years ago he jumped the team when the fans started to hoot | him when he erred in the field. Du- san will probablly be severely pun- ished by Mack for this second jump | over the ropes.

Those conversant with conditions in the past, know well that it has been the fault in the past of issuing permits for persons fotally in- capable on handling such events, The license committee can be depended upon to use the best judgment when the time comes for the action of ap- plications for such permits. “or the good of the game in this city, it is to be hoped that some of those with boxing inclinations toward conducting exhibitions will be met with a flat refusal when they ask per- mission to handle events, where the public is asked to put up money.
