GIANTS GET IN
 FIRST DIVISION BY BEATING CARDS

New York July 20.-The Giants are resting today in fourth place and only four games behind Pat Morans Phil lies. who at this time are leading the Robins and the Cubs by a little over game in one of the hottest National league races we have had since 1908, that memorable year when the Giants lost out through Merkle,s failure to touch second base.
 3 Yesterday at the Polo Grounds the NFeGrawites handed little Miller Hug4 gins and his scrappy tribe of St. Louis Cardinals their third consecutive lick ing, although it took a. pair of Mc- Gfaw's pitchers and a couple of lusty drives by George Burns to turn the trick Burns during the day ripped off pair of three-baggers, and these, aided by a sacrifice fly and single from the bat of Harvard Eddie Grant, gave our boys four runs, one more than the Cards were able to grab off Big Jeff Tesreau and Ralph (Speck) Stroud, Dover's most prominent citi- zen.
 Tesreau began the proceedings for us and was opposed by Leo Meadows, Huggins's bespectacIed hurler Mead ows outpitched the Ozark Bear in the early part of the game, and with plen- ty of Speed and fast breaking curve he completely puzzled the McGrawites But he didn't last.

TANKS RETAIN FOURTH PLACE
 BY DOUBLE WIN

St. Louis, July 2O-New York Americans won a double-header here yesterday, thereby retained fourth po- sition, and pulled away from the Sem ators, with whom they were tied be- fore these games were played. The Yankees defeated the Browns, in the first contest 10 to and in the second 4 to 1. .-szr-
 Wi1dness lost both games for St. Louis. The Browns used several pitchers and all of them, with the ex- ception of Louderrnilk, pitched poor ball. The Yankees really didn't have Ito do much playing. They stood around at the plate and waited. The expected four balls were generally forth Incoming Caldwell was in good form for New York Hamilton, Cook, James and Koob tried in vain to stop the attack in the first game and all failed dismally. The Yankees were never in danger.
 The second might not have gone over with such ease if Branch Hickey, manager of the Browns, had not t'gummed'' things up. In the seven long innings Grover Loudermi1k gave two lone hits, one of which enabled the Tanks to score a run. The Browns, likewise, had one run. Hav- ing visions of victory, Hickey ordered Sisler to bat for Louderrni1k. He was retired on a pop fly. On the mound Sisler was just as weak a sub stitute as he was in the batter's box, and was knocked out with great glee by the Tanks, who simply could not see the wonder from the University Of Michigan.
 Fisher pitched well for the Yankees.

.MAMAUX IS ONE
 MAN WHO BOUGHT.
 BIG LEAGUE RACE

Al tMamaux's success with Pitts burgh this season may be due large Iy to an incident that occurred in Cincinnati on opening day. There were not enough new Pirate uniforms to go around and the result was that the faded and tattered suits of the year before. The thrills of the opener and the music of the bands did not appeal to the Dormont boy. He saw recruits, now among the disoards, wearing the clean grey Pirate garb while his had been a job sof safety pins. Al sat sulking on the bench. peeved and l1eartbroken,
 stI ought Do have had one of those uniforms he rnuttered
 Then he sat with his head down and watched the neatly-cIad rockies disporting themselves Finally he jumped up, tore off his sweater coat and excladmed:
 "Doggone them, I'll show 'em who has the best right to a new uni form
 And then in his patched up garb of 1914-grey the DUrmont lad took his place among the fastidious ones. He pitched to the batters in practice; he f1elded bunts and he did everything Mamaux won the crowd which no doubt figured the old adage that sttfe clothes don't make the man.
 Manaux is the son of a wealthy Pittsburgh tent and awning manufac- turer The elder Mama,ux is a base ball bug and encouraged his son to take up the great national pastime as a profession. As a kid the young ster was crude ar did not fit in. He was fired off at east a dozen semi pro teams around Pittsburgh. To be sure that his son would have a regular position, Pere Mamaux or ganized a team.
 It was said that Al was even fired by the manager of his fathers team. Even that did mot disconcert the eId- CT Manaux He was determined that his son should be a. ball player. Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pitts burgh club, was appealed to. Bar ney carried the youngster for two years without sending him in. A year ago Mamaux flashed forth as a Pirate hurler.
 Today he is recognized as the most promising pitcher in either of the big leagues. Mamaux is unques- tionabIy the only case on record where a player bought his way into the big show. His development did not cost the Pittsburgh owners a. sim gle sou. Daddy N1amaux paid for his sons education and hhe best part of

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s82-Joe Bowker, former feather weight champion. of England, born at salford, Eng. Jem started boxing as an amateur when a youngster, and at 19 entered the professional ranks De- feated in his first battle with Jack Guyton, he turned the tables in a, re- turn match, and went along several years without again knowing defeat. In 1904 he outpointed Owen Moran in 20 rounds at London, and a few months later he was victorious in a
 20-round engagement with Frankie Neil, the clever Californian. In 1905 Joe defeated Ped1ar Palmer ana oth- CTS, but in 1906 he lost to lem Dris- coll the Welsh boxer. He fought Driscon again the following year, and was knocked out in the 17th round. Bowker came to America in 1909, but after losing to Al DeImont at Boston and being knocked out by Tommy O"Too1e at Philadelphia he went back to England where his ring career was practically ended with a.

The New York American league clubs physician has written to Man ager Donovan informing him that Ray Keatfng of this city won't be able to pitch any more this season for the Yankees. The club doctor found that the displaced muscle in Keating's hip could only be mended by long rest. So Keating will rest at his home here until next spring.
 This is another instance of the bad luck that has followed Heating. In other seasons he has been halmpered by injuries just when things looked promising. Manager Donovan had been depending on Ray to be one 2f his mainstays this year. Caldwell. Fisher and Warhop will probably do most of the twirling for the Yankees now.

AHEARNz AND RODEL TO
 FIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT

New York, July 2o.-The contest between Young Ahearn, the Brook lyn rriddleweight, and George RodeI, the Boer heavyweight. scheduled for the Brighton Beach race track on Sat urday night, promises to be more than an ordinary bout.
 There is a bitter feeling between the two fighters. It appears that both Rode1 and Ahearn train for their contests at the Trinity Club in Brook lyn. Quite recently, while the boys were working out, Rode1 made some caustic comment upon Great Britain and Britishers. Ahearn resented it. and invited RodeI to box few rounds. The Boer agreed, and in less than a minute they were at it. RodeI is credited with a knockdown

John d. Rockefeller, jr., made
another play for popularity
among his miners lats night by
appearing as the central figure in
an old-fashioned country dance,
held in the school house at the
Cameron mine.
Rockefeller had appeared be-
fore the miners at gathering
in the school house and explained
his intentions of maintaining
friendly relations with the work
ers. At the end of the meeting,
the young multi-millionaire sug-
gested dance.
Selecting Mrs. Charles Kaiser,
pretty wife of a mine foreman, for
his first partner, Rockefeller Gid
ed out on the rough floor to the
strains of two-step.
Before the evening was over,
Rockefeller had danced with near
ly every miners wife and daugh-
ter in the hall.
