ANKEE tp S SLIDE OLD INIUNS TAKE A FALL — QUT OF YOUNG YANK TEAM American League Champions =+-— - Never Recover From Blow Vet- erans Strike in First Inning, and the Ancient Coveleskie Sends Over a Ball They By Bozeman Bulger. Synopsis of preceding chapte The Yanks having fought! their way to the top by humiliating strong forces like the Tigers and the White Sox, have come face to face with the Indians, grown old and weak in service. Thousands have gathered to see the massacre of the Redakins. Firat place hangs in the Balance. Atanley Covaler- Ke, ancient gladiator, is thrown in the ring to pitch against the venerable Robert Shawkey. CHAPTER |. MONG the scribes and Pharisees Victor Gilpin, a manufacturer, entered the press box escorting A little lassie from New Orleans, a Miss Reed, who has come to see her first real Yankees. “Do all Yankees wear clothes like that?’ she asked, pointing to Miller Huggins as he gave final directions to Robert Shawkey, the Gob. “and who are those old gentlemen— what do they do?’’ she added. “Those are the Indians,” he told her. ‘‘They have come here to let the Yanks beat them and give the crowd a good time. They used to be great ball players. That very gray haired one is Tris Speaker.”" “Oh, why don't they play the young men? I wanted to see a pastime with seme kick in it.’ At these words from a child Vic's ears stood up. Old scorers blinked. “Never mind, spoke William Fleischmann, med as an impartial sportsman, “‘we'll get some thrills. We've got good umpires to-day. “Ye added Johnny Powers, @ fan, “all old Bob Shawkey needs Is some guy who'll call ‘em as he sees ‘em. And that Billy Evans is the boy who can do it.” “I sort of wish they hadn't pitched old Covaleskie,"’ observed Mr. Gilpin, “The Yanks have licked him four times already this season and it seems & pity. That gang hasn't got a chance against old Bob the Gob, Lookit! Ain't that pretty? He’ Old Bob had wound up, smiling superiorly at Jamieson. “Wham!"' It was a wicked single, in't that a laugh?" chuckled George Perry to Licut. Leath, a police officer. Imagine Bob trying to make tohse old birds feel good. Look at Wambsganss limping up there''— _ “Kersock!'' Old Wambsy plastered the pill for another. Speaker walked, And so it went. “Are they teasing the old gentle- man, Mr, Gilpin?"’ asked the New Or- leans lassie. ‘'They don't mean it?’’ Joe Wood, battle-scarred veteran, left the bench where the old men had been engaged in an argument over the free coinage of silver. “Just wait,’ laughed Mr, Gilpin. ‘u'll see’ “Wham!"' Zooning like a bullet, the ball hit the centrefield fence for three sacks, Three runs were over the pan, “It's all right," consoled Mr, Fleischmann as the Yanks came to bat. ‘We've got good umpiring and that's all we need.

She pointed to Dugan, our recent invest- ment. . Rut these words were spoken too soon. Jumping Joo hit head on into a double play. “Tl say it’s all e-hardened — ser ‘That old Covaleskie has come to life and is doing something to the ball."" In the next roundd Wallle Schang took a shot at the old gray hairs of Covaleskie for a one base knock and ‘Aaron Ward slammed one to the daisies for a double. Wallle scored a run that was destined to be—well— CHAPTER III, As the noble athletes rallied around the flag only to make charge after charge and have it run into a fog the telltale scoreboard showed, one jab at a time, that the Browns were walk ing away with the Red Sox. The lead was endangered, ‘The ancient Covaleskie, doing ocea- sional tricks to the ball, stood there like a stone wall. Murderer’s row couldn't get a flick out of his flowing sreveers: The three hits were their all, The silence was oppressive. The only sound was William Fleischmann muttering something about umpires. A man walked up to the plate and slammed the old apple into the upper stand for a circuit smash, taking Bob's arm with it. “Oh, thank goodness," screamed the New Orleans lassie, “At last I've seen Babe Ruth make a home run “Babe Ruth," repeated the shocked Mr. Gilpin, leading the little girl a by the hand. ‘That was Jameison off," declared a You ain't seen nothing.

And from then on not a blow w struck, smothered high estate. triumphed, Our Champs had dropped to second place and it muy not be so easy to climb back now that the Injuns have greased the pole. “Humph! grunted Mr, Fleisch mann, following the saddened crowd “The umpiring was so good that it crossed our boys completely. ‘That's the answer.

CINCINNATE, 0., Aug. 24.—If the weather permits the Giants will play the last of a two-game series with the Cincinnati Reds to-duy, then entrain for St. Louis to finish their present invasion of the West. The world's champions have en- joyed two days of rest in Redland this trip and are anxtous to leave the town made famous in baseball by Garry Herrmann, owner of the Cincinnati Club Many of the players wandered afm- lessly around the lobby of the Hotel Sinton protesting against off days in the ional Lengue schedule and postponement that keep the team in a city like this. On a rainy day or off day a ball player Is about the mest restless individual In the world. The rest of two days, however, will do the players a world of good. Thero is no doubt that the entire team has been over the edge from the severe strain of the pennant race. Then, too, Manager McGraw is a relentless driver. You have to give him all you have and the best and he is constantly on top of you demanding it. This is what has made ‘Mac’ a great man- ager, Players that could work for other managers and get along nicely could not play for the Glant manager hecause they could not give him what he wanted. Then there are other players who could not make good with other managers become stars of the national pastime under McGraw under the relentless driving of the one-time great Baltimore star, Players have been made over, many succumbed who were not able to follow the dizzy 2 pace. McGraw developed Earl Smith, he made stars of Frisch, Kelly, Ross Young et al. Every one of these players are hard driving players of the relentless McGraw school. Ons can easily see the spirit of the old Baltimore Orioles instilled into tho world’s champions to-day by Hugh Jennings and McGraw. It is what has them out with a lead over their closest rivals in the National League pennant race to-day. , But with the advantages of this ag- gressive spirit there are also disad- vantages. The players have a tend- ency to go “over the edge." They are trained too fine under tho constant driving and go stale, Many good Judges of baseball contend to-day that the world's champions aro a greater elect than their every day playing shows. The pennant race this year has been such a heated one—and they still have another hard month of fight- ing on their hands—that they have played themselves out and have been driven so hard that they are stale. SE ieee UNDERTAKER WINS IN LAST RACE OF 6-MERTE YACHTS The weather condition for the races of the 6-metre yachts yesterday on the found off Oyster Bay were ideal, but instead of simplifying the work of the committee trying to pick out the four best for International match ft has made It more dificult. Bally-Hoo, Ad- dison G, Hanan's yacht, showed up prominently. She won in her division of the first race and was second to Grebe in the two other races. Under- taker from Boston was able to get back from the ship yard in time to start in the last race which she won handily, ‘Three races were sailed, In each there were the usual two divisions and the first four yachts in each division of the first race made the first division of tho second race. The course for each race was three miles to windward and re- turn. The wind at the start of the rao- ing was west by south of moderate strength. In this race Prictlla finished first with Clytle second and Lea third, and Bally-Hoo won the second division with Grebe second. ‘The wind held true but freshened after a short rest they were sent again over the same course. This time Grebe found the wind she likes and she, won, but Bally-Hoo gave her a hard race. Lea was third, L'Esprit won fn the second division and Cygnet, showing rare speed down the wind, was second, ‘This race was ten minutes faster than the frat ra The wind Increased in strength and backed to southwest, A new course was Intd off and the yachts made ree markable time in a wind of 20-mile etrength, Grebe won, Bally-Hoo was second and L'Esprit third. L'Esprit’s, mast showed a little weakness and had to be favored, Cygnet again showed speed down the wind and was paweone!! AND NOBODY THOUGHT, THERE WAS A GEAR EAST OF THE ROCKIES FRONT YARD. IN GHICAGO FOR LAST TIME TO-DAY Brooklyn Team Scheduled to Play Double-Header With Pirates To-Morrow. CHICAGO, Aug. 24.—This is get- away day for the Brooklyn Robins In Chicago, They play their last game of this year in the Windy City to- day and leavo to-night for Pittsburgh, where they have a double-header awaiting them to-morrow Al. Mamaux was Uncle Robbie's early choice to labor for the Robins to-day. Robbie panned hard in St, Louls and Chicago for sending Sherrod Smith and Mamaux to tackle the Giants in the played in Brooklyn fore both teams left for thelr final tours of the West. Robbie came back at the sharpshooters by nominating Smith yesterday and that aged south- baw shut out the Cubs by 6 to 0. Mamaux and Smith have not done enough this year to warrant starting them regularly and their work has consisted of warming up in the bull- pen, Smith has won or saved sev- eral games and Mamaux has been ef- fective in some games after the first string pitcher has been knocked out of the box, Smith's pitching yester- day was as classy as any Brooklyn flinger has uncorked this season, He held the Cubs to eight hits and when- ever they became troublesome Smith's support pulled off a double play. Three times the Cubs led off with a single and three times the batter hit into a double play that left the bases clear. Twice hits came after the double plays, but with Smith in such rare form the Cubs could not make progress with two out. The hitting of the Dodgers in the two games they have won here has been encouraging. They made fourteen safe blows yesterday and fourteen the day before, The first five men up in the first Inning singled off Percy Jones, one of the Cub southpaws, driving in three runs and driving Jones from the box before he retired a batter, Virgil Cheeves, who gained @ reputation earlier in the season by beating the Giants twice in one se- ries, tried to save the game for Jones, but another run came over the plate in the first inning, making four in that round.
