THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1918 JACK DEMPSEY SPRAINED HIS ANKLE PUTTING ON HIS HAT. YANKEES ARE REORGAN(ZCD FOR T0-DAV'S DOUBLE-HEADER — Rain Enables Manager Huggins to Revivify Team for Bar- gain Attraction With Tigers at Polo Grounds. By Hugh 8S. Fullerton.

The Reds scoredtheir runs on three hits, a wild pitch and a sac- rifle fly, all made in one toning, | While the Giants made just one run off thirtaen hits ‘The fact that the team scored only one run on thirteen hits, two bases on balls, a sacrifice and two steals indicates the kind of | ball the s are playing.

While the trade hanging fire Steele went to the shipyards league, and, when he learned that the Giants had made a deal to get him, he resigned from the shipyards, While I believe baseball ts valuable in war time and that !t is useful in many ways, the signing of fellows who have run out on organized teams and played in shipyard te to be wrong. At least I cannot get up any enthusiasm over that sort of a player. It seems to me it would be better to finish fifth with clean- | cut athletes who have no blots op their record than to win a pennoat with players who have chosen to into employment that may serve to keep them from serving in the army or navy. If organized baseball intends to take back the players who have de- serted and gone to the shipyards to evade military service, then the soon- er organized baseball ia stopped the better for sport. Bob Steele, in my opinion, does not belong.

He was joing from first to third. He rounded second, took a couple of false eps to mislead the outfielder into thinking he was going back, and then went on to third almost without los- ing a pace, He was feinting the out- fielder with his feet, and he drew the throw in the wrong direction and got away with It. If Caldwell could be spared as a | pitcher he wonld help the team, but it is doubtful whether he can be spared just now. No rearrangement of the batting or- der that I can figure would help the club, The order is wonderfully well Grranged for getting hitting strength and for troubling opposing batters, Perhaps Huggins Is getting everything out of the team that it has in it, and his big task now seems to be to keep the term working at top speed, rather nan making changes.
