HERzOG STARTS TO TAKE THREE
 IN NY. SERIES

New York. Aug. 20-When Charley
 Herzog brought his hust1ing Reds to
 this city he made the prediction that
 Cincinnati would take three straight
 from the Giants, and. preposterous as
 such word may have seemed then, it
 appears now as if his proud boast
 would be fulfilled Re said the Giants
 were weak. How did you happen to
 guess <Fit,- Charley? Of course, the
 Giants are weak. They tottered about
 yesterday in way that was pitifu1 and the Reds won their second victory
 at the Polo Grounds by a score of $ to 1
 With the Giants acting like a, lot of invaIids, Cincinnati didn't have to work over hard for the game. The
 McGrawites cou1dn'r hit, the fielding was slow and then along in the sixth inning Davey Robertson made a. bone head play that takes rank with any
 of the leaders in that line Cincinna- ii had already won the game, and Davey evidently thought another Fun could do no particular harm. With - = +1I-d and Mollwitz on
 second, Heinie Groh lifted what prov 1- u .u d sacrifice fly to right field. 1 Robertson made the catch, butt his thoughts must have been playing ta g | with some visionary possibility, for to the surprise of everey one he hurl~ | ed the sphere to LUbert instead of l speeding it to Meyers in an effort
 to nip off Rodgers, who. was running for. Wagner. Hans was so surpris-
 ed that he nearly missed the ball. | Just before, Schauer tried to pitch the ball through Wagner's head, and 1 he almost succeeded. MolIwitz hit
 a sacrifice to the Giants pitcher and ! Schauer threw to second to z catch Wagner. It was a great shot for the 1 1atter's head and he dropped beside the bag There was just one wriggle l left after he went down, and he threw his feet on the bag and was safe.
 Wagner knows Schauer has lot of speed now He was in doubt before

Me Namara played four good rounds. 75. 78, 76, 16, 3O4. Par for the course is 75.
 The Boston golfer went into the lead on the first IS holes Wednesday and never was in danger of being beaten, although yesterday afternoon it looked as if he might have a rival for championship honors. Alex Gun ningham of Wheeling, w ", who had done wel1-except in the second round yesterday at the home hole, missed a ive-foot putt that would have tied him with McNanara. Not content with that he missed the cup again and McNamara's crown was scores of 76, 81, 73-306, put him in second position. one stroke ahead of George Sargent of Chevy Chase, who made 79, TT, "A, 77-3O7.

HIGH-WHEEL SULKY
 RECORD LOWERED

Goshen, N. Y, Aug. 2o-Another worlds record was smashed at the races here yesterday afternoon It was in the mile dash to high wheel suIkies. The three contestants were money winners in the 2;12 trot on Tuesday. Harry J. S., drawing the same sull1y which John R. Gentry drew when he paced a. mile in 2.O7 IA defeated Strafford and Rallies. The winner trotted the mile in 2:15, which is a worlds record to high wheels over half mile track.
 The high wheels have not been used during the past twenty-three years and the race attracted much atten- tion among horsemen as showing the difference in speed between the high wheel and the pneumatic tire sulky The same horses drawing a modern su1ky on Tuesday went about five sec onds faster

'LEACHES' CROSS TAKES BEATING
 FROM GRlFFITHS

New York, Aug. 20.-Leach Cross waited a good many years to show us that he could take a thorough beat ing but the dentist was certainly on parade last night at Ebbets Field. Johnny Gr1ffiths gave the dentist the drubbing of his life for ten rounds. Leach was never in the running. For the entire route he was forced to take everything in the way of hooks, jabs and jolts.
 Once Leach went to the floor in a crumpled. heap. It happened in the fifth Perhaps it was Leach's old sly dog tricks, for after taking a generous count, the while appearing woozy, he got LID and let fly a terrific right hand swing that would have taken Grif- fitf's head off had not his army of seconds warned him that Leach was stal1ing.
 About the only damage that he in flicted was to chop Johnny under the chin when the latter's tongue was rowing about on the outside of his mouth Griffith's tongue bled good deal during the later rounds, but he was never in danger. He was Cross s master every step of the way.
 Leach seldom has been shown up as the Ohio boy did it last night. Grifffths played to Cross's head entirely. Leach simply could not land 8 glove on the him the opportunity. He always had a glove t1audding against the dentist S jaw. Cross fought as desperately as re ever did. He complained bitterly of Griffith's work to the referee in the seventh. but the crowd setup such a din of jeers that Leach went back to fighting.

ROBERTSON TO TRY COMEBACK
 IN AUTO RACES

New York, Aug. 20-George Rob- ertson, winner of the Vanderbilt Cup race in 1908, who was injured while practicing for the same event two years later, has decided, after five year retirement from racing. to "come back and re-enter the speed game. He has received an offer to drive a foreign car which Walter Allen, a New. York automobile agent, is inn porting to this country for the Vim cent Astor cup races at the new Sheepshead Bay Speedway on Oct. 2, and Robertson plans to accept, pro vided, the care comes up to- his ex- pectations It is said to be capable of doing close to 120 miles an hour on a speedway such as Sheepshead, which is a board track two miles in circum- ference, with banked turns rising to a height of twcnty-six feet
 Although Robertson was supposed to have quit the game permanently, the prospect of winning a, portion of the $5O,o0o in gold-the- purse in the Astor Cup. race-($2O,0 900 for first place) is a temptation, too strong for this former champion.
 In his heyday Robertson was gen. orally conceded to be. Americas pre- nier driver and that reputation was well earned. His best remembered victories, in addition to the capturing g of the Vanderbilt Cup, were the two Fairmount Park road races which he won in 1908 and 1909; twenty-four hour track races at Brighton Beach, in one of which he broke the world s record in 1910; the Lowell road race iii 1908; also numerous worlds rec ords at iOrmond-Daytona Beach, the Atlanta motordrome, and Los Angeles motordrome during those years. 's During his retirement he has been in the automobile accessory business on Broadway.
