New York, Aug. 21.—Jughandle Johnny Morrison threw the Giants to defeat yesterday and won the second game of the present critical series for Pittsburgh, 3 to 1. He struck out five >f the world’s chantpions and allowed only six hits. This is the sighth game the Giants have lost in the last dozen, and the Cin- sinnati Reds are beginning to wear the éxpression’reserved for league champs. The Giant pitchers were bad, but the hitters were worse, having scored only five runs in the last three games. The Yankees swamped the White Sox in Chicago, pounding sut 16 hits for 28 bases and winning 16 to 5. The New York team started right off with a loud noise in the first inning turn- ing four hits, including a homer by Ward into four runs, They hit so hard and so often that the fans yawned every time the ball sailed. Even baseball fans can be gorged. o, Bunched hitting by the Red Sox enabled them to win in 8t. Louis, Aug. 21.—Kenneth Wil- liams, home run slugger of the St. Louis Americans, uses a bat with a wooden plug in the business end of it.’ Umpire George Hildebrand assert- ed he would report the matter to Ban Johnson, president of the American League. Mr. Hildebrand’'s announcement fol- lowed a statement by Manager Bush of Washington that We would protest against all victories the Browns won | from the Senators in which the bat was used by Willlams. Bush asserts the bat is illegal because it is made out of more than one piece of wood. Williams explained he had the bat made especially for his own use, and after receiving it.he found it a bit too heavy so he had a hole bored in the middle of it and had the hole plugged up at the end. Bush's knowlédge of the plugged bat was obtained recently when the ‘Washington club aceidentally came in possession of the bludgeon. Williams later regained the war club from the'Senators. Willlams used his alleged illegal bat in yesterday’s game with Washington. Manager Aus- tin said Willlams would continue us- Was Used . _— ¥ wesk * Must Beat Firpo in Five Rounds All Eastern league attendance rece ords have been shattered, over a four# day period, by the Hartford Senators, who played to 17,698 pald admissiony in the games of last Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The largest crowd was at Hartford Saturday when the Senators and the Travelers, bat- tling for the league leadership, played to 8207, The second Jlargest was at Bridgeport Sunday, 4489 click- ing the turnstiles, while the Hartford- New Haven gathe of Friday drew 3978, The Thursday game, with Springfield at Hartford, was witnessed by 1019. Thesé. attendance marks would have been bettered had Clarkin Field been larger. At the Saturday game between the lepders every seat and every inch of avallable space was taken, with hundreds lining the fences. Hundreds more refused to enter the park because they feared they would not be able to see the teams battle. Paddy O'Copnor's Senators have proven big.drawing cards, both at home and op the road, and the at- tendance record just set goes to prove the often-made assertion that Hart- ford is the best town in the Eastern League, or in the minors for attend- .or Not af All, Ex-Champ Says Chicago, Aug.! 21.—Unless Jas Dempsey wins from Luis Firpo witai fcur or five rounds he will not win all in the opinion of Jess Willard, former heavywelght champfon, who i in Chicago on a visit, Firpo, he said reminded him of Jim Jeffries. “In my opinion, it is a ,toss up,’| the former champion said.* “The; are both tough, tearing fighters wif rip and slash and hit ‘with little re. gard for boxing, and it is merely question of which one lands the firs punch, 2 “Firpo, more tifan any other fighte: that I have ever seen, reminds me o Jim Jeffries.
