The Brooklyn team took the first game of the sories from the Cubs, tightening their hold on third place. Ehrhardt pitehed for the Dodgers and nllowed only four hits, Only two of the C'ubs reachea second and none of them got to third, Jack Fournler hit hit twenty-fifth home run of the season. New York continue to race for the Braves Come Out. The Braves staged a ninth inning rally In the first game of their double header with Pittsburgh and won the game, coming out of the cellar posi- tion which they have held for some time. Pittsburgh won the second game, | ven a train wreck could not keep the Phillies from sliding into the cel- lar. ‘They went down to overwhelm- ing defeat at the hands of the Reds by 11 to 9. None of the players were injured in the wreck but Pitchers Mitchell and Couch took a fine lam- basting from the bats of the Cincin- nati club. . Senators Win. The senators cut the Yankees' Jead in the American league to a game and a half when they trimmed the White Sox In a hard fought game, 2 to 1, while the Yanks remained in- active, their game which was sched- uled with the Tigers yesterday will be played today. The Detroit club is still three and one-half behind the leaders and two games behind the Senators. St. Louis and FPhiladelphia split a double header, the Browns landing the opener 11 to 2 and. losing the night-cap, 5 to 4. The Red Sox won a pitcher's bat- "tle from the Indians in 10 innings, when with the bases full in the tenth, Quinn’s fly was lost in the sun by Summa, and the winning run scored. The Boston club moved up a notch in the standing going into sixth place while the White Box dropped to sev- enth, Today's game between the TYan- kees and the Tigers starts a series .which may do much to decide the outcome of the pennant race.

THAT ' RECORD HAS BEEN IMPROVED SI | Back 1912, Bobh Gardner, the goIf star competing for Yale, set a new collegiate pole \ault record of 'la feet 1 ineh It has been 12 years since Gardner leaped to fame by rising above the 13 foot mark, That's quite a span. But in these following dozen campal only one seant inch has been added to Gardner's feat, Dean Brownell, University of lilinois, eleared 13 feet and 2 inches at the Big Ten meet last year. This mark still stands as the American collegiate record Have the college vaulters reached the maximum in height? Judging from their scant accomplishments in | the past 12 years it would appear that such is the case, Bince Gardner's spectacular vault our universities have produced many first.class vault. lers, but not one, with the single ex. ‘copllnn of Brownell, has been able to outde the Ell man's 1212 jump, | From 1902 to 1012, some 185 Inches were added to the mark, 11 feet 6 in- | ehes being considered a top-noteh ef- fort a little over a decade ago, | Charles Dyorak of Michigan was jone of the best In the country along {about the beginning of tho 20th cen- {tuty, He was good for around 11 feet |6 inches every time out. Then came | Martin Dole, Stanford and others with leaps of 12 feet and 12 feet 6 inches, |tollowed by Gardner and Brownell, | And there it has stopped, | True, stare llke TFrank I'oss and | Mark Wright have bettered Brown- {ell's performance, but not as college )n!hlotu. Ralph Pearow, University |of Oregon man, who went over with |the 1924 Olympic team, has been |eredited with a leap of 13 feet 6 In- ches in practice, but in actual compe« | tition has fallen far below that figure. In the recent international games he failed miserably. Track and field records—most of them--are being smashed every sea- son, but the pole vault secs very few changes. YALE FIGURING 0N BIG REGEIPTS Football “Gate” Expected to Be Large-New Ticket Plan { New Haven, Conn., Aug. 22.—Tex | Rickard, promoter of pugilistic ex- travaganzas, has nothing on Old Eli promoter of football contests de luxe and remunerative. The Yale eleven wil Iplay to proximately a $750,000 “gate™ this autumn, quite enough to make Mr, Rickard ‘casually turn his promotional bean, Since Yale made a practice of play- ing the ‘Army, the bowl has been filled to capacity twice during the season. Now Yale, with Dartmouth back. on the schedule, plans to fill it three times. Prices for the Harvard and Army games will be §3, and for Dartmouth $2. This will realize about $624,000 alone, Yale this year is selling blanket tickets with a premium offer that acts in two ways, The offer insures reserved seat privileges. This means Yate is after public patronage that may break all gridiron "gate’” records. Yale doesn't need general patronage at her big classics, the Princeton or Harvard football games, but it is diffsrent with the preliminary con- tests which do not attract the old grads near and far. In going after Mr. General Public's business the Yale Athletic association has appealed to his greatest weak- neas: Something for nothing. The plan is not wholly unlike the strétegy of the patent medicine seller who offers a package of ncedles, a bar of soap and three balls of pink yarn with each hottle of corn cure. “If you buy a season ticket for the four preliminary games, then you may have the privilege of applying for tickets to the big games,” purr the Yale magnates, Thus the outside gridiron fandom |meed no longer feel the depressing realization of an inferiority complex, The grumble here has been long and thunderous. When the “big" games rolled around Mr. General Public—the same old bird who sup- ported the minor contests—was left outside in the cold, blustering winds, On the occasion of the Harvard and ’Prln«-fllon games this city is invaded | by thousands of graduates and under- | graduates of the “Rig Three” uni- | versities, and Mr. General Public is |always asked to step aside. 8o he | has finally become indignant and de- ap- ‘\rldfld to stay away from the prelimi- rary games, last year a hoycott was [ virtually in force, | This probably explaina Yals's pres- ent campaign to get his business back. Incidentally Yale has raised prices repeatedly during recent years, With the bonking of the Army, a 75-center with a emall college became a $3 affair, And now another Dartmouth game—has affair, Don’t 1et anybody tell you the col- lrges aren’t interested in the turn- stiles!

The famous right- {hand uppercut that the New Orleans boy was reputed to have did not leave When it did, its the ever-busy Kaplan. Moran Retreats Continually Moran was on the retreat most of he time.
