OY HARTZELL, the clever left flelder of the Yankees, !s lost to Frank Chance for several weeks to come. His absence from the New York lineup may keep the team from climbing in th® race, but it will] senfeely result in sending the Yankees into the collar, as they are so far ahead of the Naps that there seems little likelihood that Birmingham's boys will ever get their heads above water. Hartzell was injured in a most peculiar manner. In the ninth inning} of the second game, with two down, Hartzell singled and essayed a theft of second. He was off with Colla- more’s pitch. ‘The ball caught O'Neill on the end of the middie finger of the right hand, splitting the nail. Steve never tried to make a play on Hart- zoll, but instead rolled the ball back toward the box. Koy, however, was not aware that O'Neill hadn't made the throw to second and hit the ground as he neared the base, His Roy Hartzell Won’t Be Able To Play for Several Weeks cleanup drive in the third Inning, and the Yanks scored seven runs before being retired. They won, § to 6. So it can readily be seen that Peck’s big stick | andy club to have around. There is a chance that the Yankees may get Joe Jackson, the slugger- extraordinary of the Na, and for several years Ty Cobb's leading rival for hitting honors. Birmingham !n- tends to trade his entire gang, and will not hesitate to trade even the wonderful Shoeless Joe if he can yet what he thinks is a fair equivalent. Chance and Birmingham are to talk things over to-day, when there may be something doing. INJURED ANKLES ALSO COMPEL TWO PLAYERS AT EBBETS FIELD TO QUIT. ‘The Pirates had little diMculty de- feating the Robins at Ebbets Field. The score was 7 to 2. The Pittsburgh; sluggers batted Frank Allen and Johnny Enzgmann hard and took ad- vantage of Elmer Brown's wildness, Cooper was on the mound for Sell visitors and had the Robins at his mercy throughout. During the game) O'Mara and Mensor turned their ankles and had to retire. The Brooklyn shortstop came to/ &rief in the second inning while; ‘throwing to the plate. Mensor re-/} ceived his injury while aliding to sec- ond base in the sixth. He had to be spikes caught on the bag in such a manner that bis right ankle was badly sprained. Roy tried to get up but fell in a heap. Team mates carried him to the New York bench. It was feared that there was a fracture of the leg at first but the attending surgeon announced that it wae @ bad sprain, one that would keep him from the lineup for several weeks. The Yankees are bemoaning fact thi they ‘@ not played the 6 articl ainst all teams they have had on display against Ni This being th they so high and dry in first ven the Wonder Working Athletics would never catch them. The Naps and Yanks have staged 18 decision es this season, and the New Yorkers have been returned the victors 10 times, That's .769 baseball. The Yanke boosted their total of vietories over Birmingham's tatlend ors to ten when they won both tions of yesterday's doublo-hea thelr second double taste of victory in two days, the counts were 3 to 2 in ten Innings and 8 to 6 In the regu- lation mit. King Cole and Cy Pieh were the winning twirlers. This Roger Kinpaugh person, captain of the Yanks, tainly likes to show off before the home folks. Peck has a habit of coming through with a three-base wallop with the bases populated with team m every time the Yanks come to ( land, Incidentally, it's this triple of Peck's that sews up the victory for the Chancemen. On June 20 Roger uncorked a triple here with the bases full in the fifth inning, Later he scored himself. The Yanks scored alx runs in that round, and won 7 to 1, Yesterday, in the second game, Capt.

OTH Tom Bundy and Karl Behr will be given an important workout with Maurice Me-| Loughlin on the Crescent Courts this} afternoon with a view of forming the strongest possible pair for the doubles in the international matches against the challenging nation for tho Davis Cup next month, #irst Bundy will be paired with McLoughlin against For the second match the teams will be reversed, The Cup| Committee will endeavor to deter- mine whether whether the aggressive | playing of Behr, especially his work ut the net, will be a greater asset to the defending team than the ateady, resourceful playing of Bundy, who understands McLoughlin’s game bet- ter than any one in the country. Many would preter to see Behr teamed with McLoughlin because of his sensational playing, but the of-| ficlals will not make a final acicc- tion until trying both Bundy and Saratoga’s Biggest Season Gets Its Sta Best Racing of Year Promised, Judging by Meeting’s Programme. By Vincent Treanor. EW YORK CITY has seen the Jnst of racing until Sept. 7, when a twelve-day fall meeting will be held at Belmont Park. To-morrow marks the beginning at Saratoga, where for the entire month of August the classiest sport of the entire year will be seen. All the best horses in training from all over the country are there, and indications | point to one of the most successful | The nee guard of racegoers, hundreds of them, are already there, following the preparation of the can- didates for the various stak and other hundreds are on their way.

Reports from the Spa say the hot are preparing for bi crowds, of the rooms at the United Btat Grand Union Hotel have been en- gaged for the entire month, and the price of cottages, following a big de- mand, have jumped accordingly. Cot- tages at might have been rented last season for $200 a month are now bringing §800. A glance through the book pro- gramme for the meeting shows that thirty stakea will be contested, These include auch historio features as tho Flash, the toga Handicap, the Travers, the Catskill, the Champlain, the Hopeful, the Saratoga Special, the Merchanta and Citizens, tho Huron, the Futurity and the Saratoga Cup, all promising, thoroughbred struggles, the like of which hasn't neon this year.

McLoughlin, defeated Murray and Johnson in a practice match on the Crescent courts yesterday afternoon in two sets, 9- 6—4, Bundy was in better form than when he arrived in the East two weeks ago, but his work didn't im- press the gallery as being of interna- tional standard. JOHNSON CREATES SENSATION AT CRESCENT CLUB. Playing on fourteen turf courts at the Crescent Club, the record field entered for the New York State Ten- nis championship managed to work through the first round, with about the usual results, the stara advancing while the lesser lights were forced out. The one big surprise was the sudden withdrawal of William M. Johnson of California, the present holder of the cup. Johnson came out on the court for his match with R, Lindley Murray in the second round, It was to be the feature match of the afternoon, and the big gallery ex- pected to see the two star Califor- nians put up o great battle. Johnson was seen to talk to Murray and then walk to the clubhouse, It Was soon anounced that he had de- faulted. Johnson eald afterward that he didn't intend to play through the tournament, and that he decided to default to Murray so that the youne- ster might have a good chance to work hig way to the finals. Johnson's withdrawal almost assures a final round between Murray and McLougn- Mn, McLoughlin, who hes two lege on the cup and needs but one to make the trophy his permanent property, decided to remain in the tournament, and just toyed with Leonard Beek- man, the Interscholastic champton, In the first round, eastiy winning at 6—1, furray, after Johnson defaulted, years.
