ST. LOUIS. Mo-, August 9.-The ranks

would be out of the game for an indefl-

Yankee manager felt satisfied that the

statement that some mysterious illness
has rendered him incapable of giving the
club his best services.

BOSTON, Mass, August 9.-"Ty Cobb

headline upon a telegram from Detroit
which appeared in the local papers last
week
"One reason why Hans Wagner is the
greatest player the game has ever known
is because he is so different in DISPOSE
ton from the average star" declared a
veteran Pittsburs player, in discussing
the Detroit team today. Every once in
a while some other player gets into the
nmelisht through lot of stolen bases, a
high batting average or a streak of sem
sational fielding, but Hans leaves them
all behind. OF course, he cannot keep
this up forever, as age will tell in time,
but I never saw him better than he was
at Philadelphia last Friday and here Sat
urday.
But it is his disposition and not his
ball playing that l started to talk about.
Most stars like to dictate and want ad-
vantases not enjoyed by the less brilliant
members of the team. but Hans Is not
that way. l will wager months salary
that as long as he has been with Clarke
he has never presumed to make a sug-

hears word of complaint from him. 1t

honors even b. winnig two and losing
two Of the games.
Walter johnson pitched a great game
yesterday. but in many respects he was
lucky to get away with the game. as he
was hit harder than the two Sox pitchers.
Only two hits were made by the Wash
angton men all afternoon, and they were
made in the first round off young Cy
Young, who was forced to retire before
the end Of the inning and Jimmy Scott
took his place, and not hit was made
off him to the end of the game Two
Washington runners scored in that nrst
round off tWo hits, a hit by the pltcher'
q sacrifice and an out.
One run scored off Scott in the sixth in
ming without the aid of a hit. An error
OF Zeider let Milan get to first and
sacrifice put him on second. Milan then
stole third and scored on long fly by
Kilifer.
johnson could not let himself out very
much because Beckendorf was unable to
hold him. Every time Walter turned on
the steam Beck would have passed
hall so the lanky fellow could not afford
to sake any chances.
Because he was forced to take things
easy he was touched up for four NUS
two of them being made by Mclean. the
new right fielder of the Sox, and two by
Pat Dougherty.
Mclean mace another long hit yesterday,
putting the ball over the left fielder head
and reaching third on it. He was abr"

short grounder to Johnson. The second
