YANKEES TAKE FIRST GAME OF SERIES FROM CLEVELAND AND STRENGTHEN HOLD e e e et ON AMERICAN LEAGUE PENNANT—PITTSBURGH’S VICTORY PUSHES . GIANTS BACK A NOTCH—BUFF WINS FROM HERMAN, ANNEXING ANOTHER FISTIC TITLE—NUTMEGS TO PLAY RAMBLER-TIGERS TEAM TOMORROW ND 1S BRINGING SEASON TO A CLOSE Bristol Club Will Wind Up Series| This Week Probably There will be no more bascball games in Bristol this season after this week- end. ‘This announcement, coming from tho New Departure baseball manage- mont, will read with regret by a very large number of fans, who have taken much pleasure In following the tortunes of the N D ball club this season But before Bristol bids farewell to the national sport this fall, the fans will go to Muzzy fleld twice this week to witness tho grand climax of the whole season's efforts. Two series may be settled this week. The third game with Manchester will be played today in which a victory for New De- parture will mean more than usual to ths town. It will mean the defeat of one of the very best ball teams that Bristol's bitterest rivals ever had In ease New Departure should lose the third game. the fourth will be played in Manchester the following week. If that game should also be dropped, the final game of the series would in all probability be played off on neutral grounds—the Clarkin fleld at Hartford On Sunday, the final game with ‘Winsted is played at Muzzy fleld, each team baving taken one game. All season long, Winsted had been rather looked down’'on because it was thought that their team was not up to the standard set by Torrington. New De- parture, and Manchester, but sudden- ly they loomed up strong, beating Tor- rington twice and otherwise proving that they were a team that could not be trified with. New Departure met them in a decidedly hitting mood, and before the smoke of battle blew over the Bristolites had clouted out 13 hits, many of them for extra sacks The return game was slated the da before the double header with Tor- rington and Goodridge and Welch were being saved for those tilts. As it happened, Eddie Goeb was not in his usual form, and the Gilbert Fielders took a very great lking to his offer- ings. It was not thought best to re- lNeve Eddie until the sixth chapter when Welch went in and finished the game. The result of that contest was & beating for New Departure to the tune of 10 to 3. Now comes the final battle, with Eddie Goodridge busy sotting back Manchester on the day beforo. This means that probably Tony Welch will have the job of sub- duing Winsted and all things point to & very close gamo.

':New Yorkers Take Firmer Hold SERIES OPENER GOES TO YANKS on Pennant 24.—New York's right to bigger one opened at the Polo Grounds yesterday with a battle hat was in every particular worthy of two great teams in a sizzling fight for championship honors. With a crowd of 32,000 fans urging them on the Yankees came from behind after the Cleveland Indians had taken a two-run lead in the fourth inning and clubbed their way to well deserved victory by the score of 4 to 2. The triumph car- ried the Hugmen to a full game margin over their only rivals for the American League pennant. While all the Yankees stood out at one time or another in the victory there were four wro dwarfed their mates for the day. Hoyt and Ward were stalwarts on defense who, time ind again, stified the Indians as they zave signs of causing trouble. On the attack Babe Ruth and Wally Pipp did the big work, and did it in a way that had the crowd yelling itself hoarse in hree different innin Babe started three runs and Pipp finish>d the three with Bob Meusel stepping In the scor- ing of the fourth. Aside from th three slugers—the real battle of the ankee attack—there was nothinz to worry Stanley Coveleskie, ace of the Cleveland pitching staff. who bowed in defeat simply because he could not restrain this thumping triumvirate Hoyt's work on the mound w a masterpiece, something that it had to be if the Flatbush youth, baseball youngest veteran, was to prevail against Coveleskic and his elusive spit- ball. Hoyt started in a manner that set the crowd in an uproar by strikinc out the side in the first inning. As the game wore on he picked up four strke- outs, and, aside from the fourth in- ning, he had the hard-hitting Indian following his wishes as the autoist takes orders from the traf cop. Hr as the master of the mound for the at least, always able to call on a eserve when a new situation de- vcloped, and the Indians were tamed 'y his spell.

The con- test ended on the seventeenth green and might have gone to the home L. hole if it hadn’t been for a bit of 46 careless putting on the part of 67 George Duncan. Sanderson, who had 53 done little of note since the morn- 77 ing round, came to life just in time 93 to halve the hole and thus carry off 92 ‘he match. 103 MRS. NALLORY TO GO TO WIMBLETON.
