AVING wound up what is per- haps the most profitable home siay ati American League club ever enjoyed in New York, the Yanks left last night for Washington. In their place come the Giants, flushed with a fresh victory over the Braves and fully conscious that they must hustle every minute from now to maintain their lead. The Reds, un- der Pat Moran, are pushing them hard. The Robins, from across they bridge, furnish the opposition to-day. ‘The esprit of the Giants is not quite so strong as when they left these friendly shores, but a few more vic- tories should put them back on their regular feed. The trouble is due to an uneasiness over the pitching staff. Causey has weakened in his last two starts, and that in itself is enough: to give McGraw apprehension. But, taking it all in all, the club did not fare so very badly on its long cam- paign. They played twenty-one games and won twelve. Back on the home| grounds the Giants should pull ahead very rapidly. Undoubtedly McGraw has one of the smartest clubs he ever turned out, and with good pitching, or even fair pitching, it should be a champion, It is the best looking club, the shappiest, that I have seen since the good old days of 1905, By beating the Red Sox twice yes- Yerday the Yanks finally won a troublesome series, and are in Wash- ington this morning with a high mo- rale and a chip on each shoulder. During their long stay at the Polo Grounds they have won sixteen games and lost seven. That is a playing average of better than .667, which is all that could be expected of most any organization. Candidly, it is a little better luck than they expected themselves. As a result of this steady gait the Yanks have increased their lead materially over the White Sox and Cleveland. And, speaking statisticalty, records were hung up in the con- eluding double-header with the Red Sox. For one thing, Bob Shawkey won bis ninth straight victory. An event of the getaway was the smashing of the season's record for consecutive hitting by Roger Peckin- paugh our own champion. By getting @ wallop in the second game of the y affair with Boston Peckin- paugh has now hit safely in nineteen consecutive games. ‘The season's ruc- ord prior to that was held by South- worth of Pittsburgh, who hit safely in eighteen games. Not only did Peck do all that but he is still lead- ing the American League hitters, Ty Cobb and all. ‘The real hero of the day, though, the man who won both those games and who had twen y thousand fans raving like maniacs waa Del Pratt. To him goes the high honors of the Look at this @ In the first game, with the Yanks one run behind in the eighth inning, the bases were full and the crowd crying for help. Del Pratt and on the first swing smacked a clean single over second, scoring two runs and winning the game. (b) Inf the second game, same in- ituation with Boston ning, same in the lead, the Yanks got the Suppose your neck is an average size.

That is considered very fair, here- abouts, for, one day’a work. There Was another hero, but being one of the enemy, the New York en- thusiasm was somewhat lacking. This medal winner is Babe Ruth. In the first game when the Yanks were three runs in the lead the Red Spx managed to fill up the sacks and up came Babe twirling that war club of his. There was but one thing to do and he did ft very nicel: da home run clout into the upper stand, cleaned up the bases and put the Red Sox in the lead. It is not often that a big crowd sees a home run hit with the Bases full, and much satisfaction was expressed by everybody but the Yanks and their rooters. Sg ary occasions the mighty Ruth had a chance to wreak havoc, but the Yank pitchers irri- tated him considerably by giving him @ base on balls ahd taking no chances. A contributing factor to the, en- thusiasm of the afternoon was’ the Presence of the 404th and 405th Sig- nal Corps,gust arrived from France, The soldiers sat in a body and had their band with them. This band played many such seasonable airs as “How Dry I_ Am" and “We Won't Go Home ‘Til Morning.” They had to leave before Del Pratt got in his last wallop. Enough accidents, lucky stunts, bones and whatnot were sprinkled through the Red Sox double header to last all season, To enumerate them would crowd out everything those fellows are writing about the fight out at Toledo. For instanco, when the Yanks were pushing over the winning run, or what would have been the winning run, in the seventh inning of th@ second game, Truck Hannah ran off second and wes caught in a double play before Ping Bodie could trot home with the win- ning tally, Hannah could have stood still and won the ball game. Whether it was his Foo A or that of the coach we do not kno’ The crowd blamed the coach. Then Walli¢ Schang, in the etghth janine, paeite the bases full, took time double play. It was a force out at the plate, but he did not tumble to that phase of the situation. Result, another chance was given the Yanks to win and they did. ‘These are merely mentioned as samples of what went on, There were many more, ‘The Brooktyns are here to-day and box with Battling Levinsky, Jack Dempsey and his manager, Jack Kearns, also have made up their minds to save money by not ewgnging Billy Miske, the St. Paul heavyweight, to join their camp and be a regular boxing partner of Dempsey’s. Jaek Reddy, manager of Miske, had made arrangements several weeks ago for Miske to box with Demp- sey a week before the battle, for which Miske was to receive $1,500. Miske won't get the chance to earn that $1,600, as Kearns has decided that Dempsey’s present sparring partners are sufficient to keep him busy until the fight. J. G.
