ALTER JOHNSON appeared at W the Polo Grounds over Sunday and Murderers’ Row promptly dug in, They were still dug in, with pen in hand ready to sign an armia- tice, when a sorrowful crowd filed out, carrying with it visions of a winning streak all shot to pieces and only ono more day to go. To-night the Yanks, after a month of triumph in presence of the home folk, wander into the West, the land of pitfalls for a ball club that thinks it's going somewhere. Danger lurks at every turn, these turns being manned at present by Indians, White Sox, Tigers and Browns. There are no easy pickings out there this time, Rach of those clubs ts well heeled. in one hand they carry a friendly greet- ing for some fresh visitor from the East and in the other a bludgeoh wi:h which to crown him, H The Yanks have fought hard to pile up a lead that would sustain them through this coming tour and have done remarkably well. Still, they will need al! they have, and then some, to cdfhe back here perched firmiy on the top rung of the pennant ladder, N« only have the White Sox and Indians grown stronger but the Browns and Tigers have suddenly gone on the war path, In fact, it was the sudden winning streak of the Tigers against the runners up that enabled our Yanks to entrench themselves in their present position. But now Hu, gins must also face those Tigers as well as the runners up. It had been hoped, if not actually expected, that the Yahks would wax and grow fat at the expense of ghe Senators, but Clayke Griffith has shamefully crossed us, Not only did he trim our potential champs twice down at Washington but he came up here for the Fourth of July and has won the last two games, even if we did get three, So accustomed have Yank rooters become to seeing those four out of five wins that anything less than that js looked upon as a leking. Even with the closing disappoint- ment the Yanks have won more than 66 per cent. of their games during the long home stay, that being the best showing that’ any American yeage team has made here since the ‘anks came into life on the old Hill- top. They have also drawn the big- gest crowds in the history of the American League, and the rooting for two ball clubs. The popularity is a tribute to the sportsmanlike spirit of thosg, who have striven to build up winning teams regardless of cost and conditions. To grasp the exact im- port of this, one Should see the fam- ily parties that attend the games down at Philadelphia. After the concluding game with Washington this afternoon the Giants take the Polo Grounds for a long stay, and fans will be able to get @ line on our other candidate for ap entry into the World's Series, The dream of the local ballplayer, as well as the fan, right now is to have a championship series played between the two New York clubs, Indications at present do not discount that hope. I¢ Griffith had only bs Walter Johnson at home everything might have been all right with the Bunday crowd. The elements even joined in to favor this hurler of the smoke ball. Heavy clouds hung over the grounds beginning with the third inning and in the semi-darkness it was next to impossible for Murderers’ Row to do anything with that ter- rible speed. It was a most gentle ful institution—that Mur- derers’ Row-after Walter got in a weaving wi The Yanks got one run and might have got two but for « bit of ivory displayed on the part of our athletes at the very last min- ute, but they couldn't have beaten Johnson with that cloud behind him if they'd played a week, The Sénators have exhibited a young man by the name of Menos- key frequently during this series and he's been ,exceedingly rough on our pitchers, ‘There 1s no chance of hts adopting Baker's sobriquet of “Home Run" but it would not be amias to cal) him Mauling Menoskey, Twice he has floored our Yanks with home run clouts and yesterday he simply wrapped up the game and forwarded it to his home address in Washing- ton in the fourth inning. After two were out Milan hit for three bases nd scored on Rice's single. Then came Mr. Menoskey with a home run wallop Into the right field stand and, right then and there the Yanks might as well have sprinkled the fire and called the dogs, They were done for the day, One run is usually sum- cient margin for Sir Waiter Johnson and three gave him surplus capital. In the eighth there was a suggestion of a rally but {t quickly went up in smoke, Baker led off with a single, but was foreed out by the ever re- lable Duffy Lewis, Pipp's long fly made the s@cond out, but the fans still hung to a= forlorn hope. Pratt whanged a beauty into right centre for a single and Lewis started for third, After passing second, though, Duffy changed his mind and started back. In the mean time Pratt kept going. When Shanks finally got the ball down there he looked around and found two enemy aliens on or about second ba After several chases the Senators finally got Lewis and the rally was extinct, The one pleasant event of the day them has been spontaneous and sin- pare. They have deserved every bit of In ave & city was Peckinpaugh getting his regular hit, He has now hit safely in twen ty-seven consecutive games, puts him far in advance of the ANERIGANTRAK TEAM IS ANARDED WON TROPHY Interallied Meet Ends With A.

With the commencement of the sec ond intersectional series the leading teams must make their stands or the home ground and gather enough lead over their rivals to withstand the August drives. Unless the Giants can leave home after their long series on the Polo Grounds at least seven games ahead of the Chicago Cubs, the chances are that the superiority of the Cub pitching staff will tell during the later stages of the race. The Giants need that much leeway to avold being worn down and beaten out. The Yankees take the road with fair sory entering classes in the futuge, move of Harvard is a) step in ad= — vance of that taken by Yale in the early spring. Yale decided for intra~ — mrural sports and a complete pheaee in the athletic system. Yale also cussed compulsory participation im sports and athletics, but upon thé elective system. Harvard's move is an improvement upom this. Compulsory athletics means @ tre- mendous forward Harvara. Frankly, it always has been rether disgusting to a lover of sport to see three or four thousand semi-an applauding and betting on @ couple of dozen highly trained specialists and calling it college spirit. Coaches naturally have striven to select the fastest and the strongest men and to develop them into winn Much of this was selfish desire on the part ef paid coaches, perfectly natural, ‘because the student body demands winners. The system, however, failed to bring out the best athlete in any university, and, worse than that, utterly neglected the great mass of the students. Nine out of every ten college men got most of their athletic traini in cheering athletes who, regardiess of the rules, were little better than paid profes- sionals. Many of the smaller schools have enforced compulsory athletics and these small schools have had a hobit, especially in the central West, of sending in unexpectedly strong and well balanced teams to all sorts of track and field meets. The best thing about the reformt of the athletic systems of Harvard and Yale is that they are certain to- exert a tremendous influence over athletics in other schools, ‘The mare fact that Yale and Harvard are 4 termined upon the athletic and physi- cal development of the entire student body is sufficient to influence scores of other schools to adopt the same systems. It means further that America will develop ten great ath- letes under this system to one devel- oped by the elective system.

Pecord also ruled that the fight ended at the close of the third round, despite the fact that the towel was not tossed into the ring from Wil- lard’s corner until the bell had sounded for the fourth round. Willard, however, did not leave his chair to answer the call for the fourth round. Tex Rickard, promoter of the contest, requested an official ruling from Pecord because of the hundreds of telegrams ho received asking if Dempsey should be credited with'a knockout victory and when the bout ‘The uncertainty as to the number of times Willard was knocked down by Dempsey in the first round of the championship contest was settled last night when the first screening of the fight picture film registered five EVENING WORLD’S OWN SPORT HISTORY What Happens Every Day TENNIS.

He came from Ireland, “greenhorn” who never had hi baseball, but his family settled in « community where every kid played the game. One day Rog stopped to watch the other kids at play and they invited him to catch, as the pitcher was too strong for them. The first ball hit Rog on top of the head and the second in the chest. He stuck to it for a time, but got wise and de- cided it was safer to be a pitcher. A year later he was the fastest pitcher in that section of the country. Rog broke into the major an a'pitcher.
