HARMON PROVES A PUZZLE

PITTSBURGH. Pa. July 1S.-New York
and Pittsburgh divided Il double-header
today. The Pirates took the first game
by q to . score and New York won the
second. which went ten innings, q to 5.
The local team played desperately to
keep from sliding into last place When
it won the first game, it was the first
time this season that Pittsburgh was vic
tor in double-heacer.
Harmon was master of the situation in
the first game. Fletcher and Markle
were the only Giants able to hit his offer
ings. Pittsburgh's runs were due in part
to errors by the visitors. Manager Nc
Graw was put off. the field for disputing
decision.
New York started the second game by
scoring one run in the first inning and
added another in the third. The Pirates
tied the score in the fourth by scoring
twice on solid hitting. Two singles and
an out in the fifth inning put the locals
ahead but the visitors tied the score in
the seventh on two singles and an out.
There was no more scoring until the
tenth. In that inning the Giants scored
three runs on Burns double. singles by
Snodgrass and Fletcher. base on balls
to Meyers and a single by Grant. Pitts
burgh tried hard to tie the score but
could only tally twice. Merkle's tumble
of Leonard's grounder. singles by Wag-
ncr and Viox and konetchy's sacrifice
fly gave the locals their runs.
Mowrey of Pittsburgh was ordered out
of the game in the second inning.

terday, but he reached the bases three
times and scored run. In the first
inning he drove out a long fly. which
Graney muffed in the sun. and he
eventually scored, the squeeze play
being worked with Foster. The next
two times up he walked, but Morton
famed him when he was UP in the
seventh. He had two flies to handle
in left field, the final one being from
Lajoie's bat in the ninth, with two on
the bases. which ended the game.
Griffith did not make any mistake
when he derricked Doc Ayers, because
it was evident that the doctor was not
in pitching mood yesterday. He was
hit hard in the second inning, though
it is true that errors cost him dearly
He also was hit hard in the third, but
was saved by the remarkable double
play Gandil started. When a team is

hitting Ayers there is no sense in
waiting until the game is lost before
taking him out and this is particu-
larly true when there are four or five

LeibOld would fill the bill splendidly.
He is a fair fielder and hitter and has
had enough experience to make him a
safe proposition under the circum-
stances. If Griffith fails in his efforts
to obtain Leibold or one of the other
Cleveland outfielders he will have to
look elsewhere for a man.
Though center field is a new position
for Howard Shanlls. he gives promise
of becoming every bit as expert there
as he has proved himself in left. where

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. July
IS.-Connie Mack's ninety horse
power base ball machine is again
running as smoothly as could be
expected of any championship
combination. Men behind the
bats wearing the varsity "A" are
hitting the ball when blows man
ufacture runs. The most en-
couraging of all, Mack's alleged
weak pitching staff is moving
down the opposition true to the
teams title of "Monarchs OF the
game" All this was today brought
to the attention of followers of
the good ship Mack. who feared
rock or some obstacle would
divert the team off its course to
Pennantville. when Jim Callahan
Chicago White SoX were spilled
twice by the scores of 4 to 1 and
5 to I.
Books closed on the week,
showing all three games played as
victories for the pacemakers. The

made at the expense of the Chi
cagoans, as the trio of triumphs
were gained over the Windy City

victory over Boston yesterday,
the Athletics boosted their lead
from three to three and one-half
games over the Tigers.
Eddie Plank in Form.
What was most refreshing in the first
game to the 1900 Mack partisans who
witnessed the twin bill was dramatic
to the Chicagoans. "Old Man Plank
outpointed the sterling Ed Walsh, who
is clamoring for re-admission to the
front ranks of the select pitching class.
Had the verdict been handed down
as dramatic as it was to see Big Ed
every move a picture-dipped into the
dust of defeat
hirty-nine-year-ol Plank fully de-
served the verdict, his tenth OF the
season. After passing the first inning
Plank outpitched Walsh at every stage
OF the hostilities. While the veteran
southpaw permitted six hits against five
compiled by the Mackmen on Walsh,
the Gettysburg twirler was an enigma
in the pinches. Walshs downfall came
in the sixth inning, when single,
a sacrifice two bases on balls an error
and triple by Jack Lapp produced the
three tallies that made victory certain
for the champions. An idea of Plank's
effectiveness may be had when it is
pointed out that he cross-fired nine
batsmen over the strike-out route.
Chief Bender was equally as effective
as Plank in the second encounter. Had
1t not been for an error by Stuffy
McInnis Bender would have blanked
the white-hosed CaIlahans. The big
CHIEF permitted not more than one
safe blow in any inning, the six hits
garnered off him being scattered
