BAD PITCHING LOSES BATTLE
 FOR N. '. TEAM
Pieh Forces In Winning Run For Brooklyn In Tenth
 Inning

Cy Pieh, who is not a dessert but a New York Yankee pitcher has as heart as big as a German pancake, and couldn't bear to see Robinson down as a day of defeat, so he imi 1 lated Santa Claus, without the aid of whiskers or white hair. and gave the ten-inning game to the new manager yesterday by score Of A to 3.
 With the score seriously complicat- ed at to and the crowd sIivering, Pieh lost the game unassisted. He damned th bases with Brooklyn rum ners with two out, and then lost all sense of direction and location and nagnanimously thrust base on balls on Charley Stengel, which forced Zack Wheat home with the winning run. MT. Pieh hopes that his rela- tives and friends will never hear what Manager Frank Chance said 10 him after the game, because if they ko young Cy will net be mentioned in the family will.
 @ Both teams showed much life in the face of the holdover winter wind. and, except for PIeh's fit of generosity, the game was as well played and just as exciting any that will be seen this season. Highly decorative fieldin g was displayed by both teams, Dick Egan and Roger Peckinpaugh. the ri val shortstops, contributing dashfng, fast plays
 It looked very much like a Yankee victory until the eighth inning. when Zach Wheat wI1aIed a home-run hit over the right field wall and tied the score. Up to that time Manager Rob- inson s face wore an expression which suggested that hefmight be suffering from Jumping toothache, but after Wheatss prolific blow he dared to smile
 Holden didn't get hit for New York.

Further announcement is made from

Preparations are being carried out
not only at national headquarters here,
but also in Brooklyn, n. Y, and other
centers, for future war relief work
inasmuch as Red Cross officials are
strongly of the opinion that the pres

to various European countries is but
the beginning of the work of relief.

contribute on scale commensurate

Many American women and children
are marooned in Hamburg through
lack of funds to get back to the United
States. but all are being cared FOR from
a relief fund opened by Consul General
Henry F. Morgan and contributed to
by prominent American and German
merchants. according to the first de-
tailed report to the State Department
under date of August II.
That little American flags pinned to-
their lapel coats assured Americans
safety; that after the first two days
of financial panic all necessary amounts
of money We're to be had by American
tourists, and that most of the hotels
have reduced their rates to meet the
emergency. was the encouraging news
transmitted in the consul generals
hrst mail sdvices from the war zone.
He gave a graphic description of the
trying days at the outbreak of war.

frantic men and hystericel women

whole country was afiame.
Some embarrassment was caused at
first by the refusal of the banks to
honor American letters of credit and
checks issued by well known Amer
isan banks. but subsequently money
was offered me in any amount to re-
lieve the situation. Incidents were
brought to my attention when Amer
lean banknotes were changed into Ger

the civil authorities of Hamburg and
the military commander at Altoona, and

sire to do all In their power to re-
lieve the distress and Inconvenience to

subjects caused by the mobilization.
Entrusted With British Interests.
M Morgan was intrusted with Brit
ish interests in Hamburg, and while
there were sixty-two British vessels
with upward of a thousand sailors
aboard at anchor in the harbor when
war was declared, he reported that
not q SINCE overt act against any
British resident of the city had been
brought to his attention On the day
the report was written a special train
provided by the German government

cans.
There will be a large number who
