By Robert Boyd. /SYRACUSE, Aug. 10.—Having an off day, following their successful in- vasion of the West the Yankees stopped off en route to New York here to-day to play an exhibition game with the Syracuse Club of the International League. After the Hug men show the popu- lace of this city the way it is done in the big show, and Babe Ruth swings his mighty war club, the American League champion will en- train for their native haunts beneath the shadows of Coogan’s Bluff, where they will make their last stand at home, meeting the Western clubs for the last time this season on the Polo Grounds. Coming back from the West where they met their Western foe-men, there {s a much greater club than the one that blew into the Metropolis following their last disastrous frolic- ing abroad in which they relinquished the American League leadership to the St. Louis Browns after they had held it all season. If the pennant {s to be won again by little Miller Huggins, who ts in there striving like a trojan to repext his triumph of last year with his band of brilliant, yet tempermental stars, it means a struggle from now until the close of the championship season, One by one the Western clubs will visit the Polo Grounds an1 it will take the Yankees and all their reserve strength to repulse the East- ern invasion of the Westerners. Cleveland, Detroit, the White Sox and last but most potential of all, Lee Fohl's St. Louis Browns, pace- makers in the American League race today. All the Western clubs will play a better grade of ball when they come to the Polo Grounds than they have all during the season, They look at the Yankees as the club that will win the pennant, So they are out to kill the Easterners off, for they are anxious that the World's Sertes be in Fast and West affuir instead of an ill-Kastern classic. ‘This does not infer that the e going to help the “rowns, the Yankees’ nearest rivals to the fii but it does mean that if ither club is to win they would yather have the Browns finish in ront than the Yankees. The Western trip that ended in Detroit was what perhaps saved the Yankees from being out of the race entirely, They were wobbling pretty badly when they left to invade the baliiwicks of the Westerners eel INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.

By Joseph Gordon. ILL KILLIFER'S Cubs play the final game of their series with the Robins at Ebbets Field this afternoon. As the game will begin at the usual time, it will be up to the Robins to win in nine innings or not get a look in on the series, as it has been officially announced that the game will be called at 6.45 o'clock, daylight saving time, win, draw, to permit the Cubs to catch a train out of Brooklyn. Their selection of a train which leaves New York's largest borough as soon as the National League officials will permit them, is, according to Manager Killifer himself, no tion on Brooklyn. “Its a case of have to’? he explained. ‘We would like to stay around awhile longer. We've had a great time of it.’’ And there was a time in the history lose or reflec- of the 1922 pennant race when the Robins considered a day with the Cubs a day well spent. The loc: have held the edge on the Chicagoans up until this current series, but like all the other teams in the leazuc Cubs now seem to have the sign on Robbie's help. Two straight victories for the Cubs and Pitcher Cheeves is slated the honore this afternoon The suspension of Burleigh Grimes comes at a most inopportune time for the Robins, How long he will be out is not known at present. I ent Pbhets of the Robins says he has not yet fully made up his mind as to how long his star spitballer will be among the missing. . The Robins cannot spare much of anything just now and the temporary loss of Grimes to his team will be bad ly felt, but as some one once so W ly said, discipline must be maintained at all costs, Robbie's anatomy is noth- ing for a spitballer to make remarks About and the condition of the infield is perhaps nothing for a pitcher to comment on. So discipline is being maintained and Burleigh will be out a few weeks and $200 in cash Leon Cadore and Grover Cleveland Alexander, the Cub right-hander who will go down to posterity as Alex ander the great, fought it out in t box. Alexander had the most luc and won out Both pitchers were hit almost freely, each being tapped for a total of thirteen hits The Robins entered their half of the ninth four runs behind and tor a while the Great Alexander stood on the very brink of defeat. Myers slapped & single to short and Schmandt surprised the small gallery of onlookers by pasting one salely to left. Andy High—the boy is getting into the habit of pulling the unex pected—waited until Alexander had him at @ count of 8 and 2 and then leaned against one fora triple t. centre, with the whole Cub outfield after the ball, The runners, as have probably suspected, High tallied a minute Berry's out. you scored, and Sacer on De Olson and Johnston then beat out infleld, puny hits and Griffith came up to bat.

At the same time a plaint was arising throughout the land that the Giants had bought the pennant, Using Mayor Hylan's own words, one St. Louls paper called us the “‘interests,"’ and referred to our civic pride as a “spirit imbued with corporate greed.” And now see what has happened: ‘The democratic masses arising in their might have slapped the slats out of our gilded heroes. That's base- ball. The fact that the open warfare has lacked in the nourishment necessary to keep a champion afloat is nothing compared to the lowered morale of the boys who were sold to us on the block and naturally saw themselves taking a ride on the big wagon “You fellows have got to do some hitting,” advised one of the Cincin- nati reporters, as we viewed the com- bat yesterday. “What d’y’r mean—hitting?”” snap- ped out official scorer. At that moment Hugh McQuillan, our importation from Boston, was hurling the pill at breakneck speed and the Reds were slicing and pulling, utterly unable to kiss the old apple on the nose. But they were getting the runs, bringing home the beans. During the entire engagement they never got more than one safe blow in one minute. Altogether they got five. “Ae I say, what d'y’r mean—hit- ting?" insisted Mr, Scorer. “Look at that!" The Champs had fust popped Mr. John Couch, of San Francisco, a year- ling pitcher, for three clean knocks in succession. Out of it all they scared up one run. Altogether our Giants had combed Mr. Couch for an even dozen hits Now, if the Champions can get but who two tallies out of twelve hits, and the visitors, headed nowhere in par- ticular, can get three runs out of five hits what are you going to do about it?s And that's the way the thing's been breaking all week. Hugh McQuillan, who as a white slave sold out of Boston came to our rescue in the crisis, has pitched two Jam-up games of baseball. On both oecasions he has outpitched his op- ponent. Still, he has two defeats checked against his record. A simt- lar situation faces our Mr. Jack Scott. It's tough on those boys. “Well, what's the matter?” our editor inquired over the telegraph wire.

Earl Smith also has pu a couple. Even McGraw got so overwraught as to get put off the bench for taking a few verbal shots at the umptre. Yes, the champs have a case of the jumps. They are badly unstrung. All except Long George Kelly. He is beginning to get strung out. Following his daily custom, George walked up to the pan in the second inning and poked the ball into the left field bleachers—f mighty swat. But that was all. In that same in- ning McQuillan and Bancroft got sin- gles, but nothing came of it. The champs need a change of scene. ‘There is such a demand for tickets 4n¢ for the featherweight championship battle between Johnny Dundee and Danny Frush of Cleveland at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn of Tuesday night t Matchmaker Dave Driscoll de- clared to-day that he expects the gate receipts to go over the $40,000 mark The advance sale is already ove $5,000.
