HE acquisition of Carl Mays came at a mast opportune moment for the Yanks, It is & first line reinforcement, as the clubs at ‘heading into the stretch, and has really changed the Yanks from a pos- sibility’ into a pennant probability. Though the Yank management has sucrificed two men of great poten- tality in Russell and McGraw, they have secured an actuality in Mays—a big league pitcher of unquestioned ability who can step right in and take his turn in the box with Shawkey, Thormahien and Quinn, He has come at a time when there |s a chance to win the pennant, and that is the time a pitcher is wanted. The cost makes little difference. Russell and McGraw may be excel- lent prospects for next year, but we are playing this season right now.

I suppose you all remember how Nap Rucker, one of the greatest of all pitchers, had to complete his career under the shadow of the Brooklyn Club when it was at its worst. There were no great records, prize money or anything but every day lefthanded for the great Nap. Yes, the Colonels—Huston and Rup- pert—and the Harrys—Frazee and Sparrow—have done baseball quite a good turn. The Boston fans who have ;beon riding Ed Barrow certainly can- not kick on this one, The day of double-headers re- sulted in a dog fall all the way around and nobody gained an inch. It looked for @ minute or so as if the Yanks would profit by the deadlock of the other contenders and stick their nose out in front, but just as New York- ers were about to chuckle, up bobbed Buck Weaver of the White Sox and |busted a two bagger that spoiled a six hour afternoon for twenty thou- sand fans at the Polo Grounds, It was’ In the tenth inning, with dinner in the offing, that Buck pasted that baseball and zip! went a tie that ha¢ been waging for two hours—an after- noon of triumph all mussed up. Strangely enough; and fatiguing enough also, both games at the Polo Grounds went into extra innings and New York fans got the best bargain they've enjoyed since the war put up high prices on all necessities. don’t know if baseball is considered an every day necessity by the Govern- ment, but it is by these fellows who|¢r™ rush up to Harlem every afternoon.

An even break with the Pittsburgh Pirates was the best the Giants could do again and as the Cincinnati Reds won a game they gained a trifle on the leaders. If McGraw could have Jess Barnes pitch all the time he would have little trouble win- ning the pennant. Jess was in top form in the first contest and shut out the Pirates with the score 9 to 0, al- lowing only three hits, But the New York manager had to call on his second string twirlers in the closing batts and the result was disastrows, the home team winning easily by a count of 6 to 1.
