two men from the st. Joe club.
Manager Gear has just about de-
cided upon his regular lineup but has
not definately decided who the young
pitchers will be. He has practically
decided that Dowd will be a fixture
at second base and MCGEE at short
stop. In the event that these assign

cause George Smith and Joe French
to battle for the position as utility
man with chances favoring the
former.
The performance Of Infielder Nc
Gee has been so satisfactory and he

that Manager Gear believes he will
be one of the best on the circuit.
Manager Gear will try to send the

the brink of fame, for twice before,
leading at Sd and 6--5, he had needed
but point to take the championship,
only to see Mclaughlin snatch the
laurels from his hand.
But Williams was fighting a winning
battle to-day, and returned to the at
tack with undiminished energy. Per-
haps his greatest work was done in the
last three games, which he won and
which gave him the match. McLough-
lin was smashing with all his speed
and strength, but Williams returned
the ball to the Californian's feet.
Such thing had never been done be-
fore, and it seemed to unnerve the
champion, who saw his greatest weap-
ons thus ruthlessly turned aside.
Straight onward Williams marched to
glory, taking the final point on a
beautiful cross-ccurt shot.
As il has ever been with dethroned
champions, Mclaughlin walked from
the court and TO the locker room after
the match alone and with none to ac-
claim him. Williams, protesting, was
almost carried bodily by his friends to
the house.

It is true that they we're forced TO re.

onslaught of the Tigers, but their new
position is stronger than the one which
they occupied on Monday, for while
they we're losing once the Browns were
defeated twice. The victory by score
OF to put Detroit on an even basis
with Chances men for this series.
The Yankees scored early, but not
often. After Cook hit safely in the
| fifth not Yankee reached first in
safety. Thirteen went out in order.
The Giants came to town a day ahead
of the time set for their crucial series
with .he Superbas and decided to res.
by putting all thought of baseball out
Of their minds. Most of them watched
the game at the Polo Grounds.
Reynolds and Marty McHale were
the opposing pitchers Marty decided
to go right after Cobb, and he did not
/ pass the Georgian once, nor was "Tys
so terrible after all. He made only
one hit in five times up. Reynolds was
hit very briskly in the early innings.
and sharp fielding helped him out Of
some holes, but he waxed stronger and
stronger as the game aged, and brought
the contest to close by striking out
Peckinpaugh and Sweeney.
In the second inning Bobby Vesch
singled and George Burns was hit with
pitched ball. OF sudden the mantle
Of Cobb fell upon the shoulders Of
Veach, and he led far of second, tempt.
ing a throw from Ed. Sweeney. As
soon as the catcher threw Veach darted
| Fer third and reached his goal, Mortar
ity flied to Maisel, but Stansge ham,
mered out longer hoist to Cree, and
Veach scored.
In the third the Tigers put two men
across the plate. Bush walked and Witt
! got a scratch hit past Mullen. Cobbs
single to right centre enabled Bush to
score and sent Witt to third. Cobb, OF
course, stole second. Sam Crawford
| singled and Witt came home. Yeach
/ walked, filling the bases, but Burns hit
to Peckinpaugh and Cobb was forced at
the plate. Moriarity flied to Hartzell
and Peckinpaugh threw out Stanage.
That was ali for the Tigers, but II
was more than the Yankees could
equal. A double by Boone and singles
by Maisel and Hartzell =cored a run for
the Yankees in the last half of the
third inning, and in the fifth Maisel
beat out a pretty bunt and stole sec
ond, scoring on Cooks single.
Nothing much happened after that
except that Hartzell shook the left
field fence once or twice in chasing
/ flies.

Something of surprise came when
John G. Anderson, the Brae Burn
golfer, who was runner-up a year ago,
fell before Roy Webb, of Englewood.
The last named got the jump on Ander-

derson managed to carry the contest to
the home green, but lost there when

Another upset came in the defeat of
Fred Herreshoff by Jesse Guilford, the

an exceptional ball, some of his tee
shots being fully 800 yards. Guilford
always had the advantage, especially
as Herreshoff's approaching was un-
