TORONTO AGAIN
DEFEATS NEWARK
Canadians Duck Interna-
tiOnal Indians in White
wash Bucket.

Toronto took another fall out Of the
Newarks at Newark yesterday after
noon. This time the Canadians ducked
the Indians in the kalsomine bucket,
defeating them by score Of TO 0.
Newark never had chance before
Bob McTigue, the Toronto twirler. The
Indians made six hits, one-half of the
Toronto total, but they were so widely
spread out that there never was a
chance TO reach the plate. The game
was played in drizzle. but the fielding
was good, there being but one error. by
Cable. II was the second day in sue
cession that Toronto played errorless
ball.
Toronto pried off one run in the sec
ond inning on singles by Graham and
McTigue, with two outs and free pass
sandwiched in. It was in the fourth,
though, that they put the game on ice,
with a quartet Of counts. There was a
run of sequences which brought forth
the results. First there was an out.
Then came two free passes. Then
three singles in succession. When this
was over the four runs were over the
pan. The rest of the inning was Incl
dental.
McTigue, who was hitting like a
house afre as well as pitching alright
ball. batted in another run in the fifth
inning. His single sent home Hogan.
Hogan previously had hit and drove in
Trout. who had singled and stole sec
end. Toronto's final count in the ninth
was made by Thompson. He had hit
and stole second Red Murray pushed
him across with a single.
The score follows:

HARVARD AND YALE
MINES CHOOSE LEADERS
Abbot and lie Gore Are Elected
Rival Captains.
by Telegraph TO Tie Tribun. ]

Cambridge. Mass, June 2i.-The Har-
ward and Yale baseball mines elected
their captains for 1917 tonight. Har-
wards choice was George +. Abbot. of
Andover, Mass. who was the freshman
captain two years ago, and is rated as
the best college second bsseman in the
game to-day.
Yale's new captain is Harry lie Gore,
who played with the nine last season
but who this year was ineligible be
cause Of his having played at Quogue
last summer.

George Burns mauled the ball for

The Maranville-Ever combination
worked as we'll in the water as it does
on land. The only way TO hit the ball
between this pair is TO hoist long fly

Umpire Byron was made TO feel at
home. Athletes barked at him from all
sides until he finally dispersed Hans
Lobert, who gave three cheers as he
started from one shower to another
Errorless ball by both clubs under
such weird considerations was another
lasting boost for big league ability TO
meet the test.

REDS IN DOUBLE
TRIUMPH OVER CUBS
Herzog's Men Force Chicago
Out of Fifth Place.

Chicago. June 21.-Cincinnsti twice
defeated Chicago to-day and ousted the
Cubs from fifth place. Toney's good
pitching in pinches and his two-bagger
which scored two runs, were factors in
Cincinnati's 4 to 3 victory in the first
game. A feature was Griftith's throw
ing Archer out at first on hit TO
right field.
Lavender's wildness, Chicago errors
and Moseley's clever slab work gave
the Reds the second game, 5 TO 2.

Flatbush Squire Disguised
with Tactics of Brook
Ign Fans.
By FRANK O'NEILL.

Charles II. Ebbets has risen in his
wrath and declared war against rowdy-
ism.
lie says that repetition OF the
scenes which marked the end OF the
double-header with the champion Phil
lies and the Robins on Monday will
never occur If II lies in his power 10
prevent II.
Mr.. Ebbets said. with a ring Of de-
cisiveness in his voice, that he did not
desire the patronage Of fans who would
run on the field and make an effort 10
assault the umpires, and would deny
them admission 20 :he park II ne could
identify them.
81 have always stood for clean base
ball" said the Squire Of Flatbush yes
terday, when the rain drove his team
to cover an all the years in which
have been identified with baseball
have fought for anything and every
thing which would help in the uplift OF
the sport. / do not intend 10 falter
now. The time will never come when
shall countenance rowdyism in any
form on any park under my manage
ment.
al have hired a number of police
men from an agency, who will be sta
toned about the stands and who will
be under orders 10 arrest any fans who
overstep the bounds. These officers
will be in plain clothes. II is my pur-
pose 10 prosecute any offenders 70 the
fullest extent of the law.
The fan who would assault an UNI
rire." continued Mr.. Ebbets, warming
TO the speech. 'is not true lover OF
baseball, and he has bad effect upon
the club. He is a detriment rather
than an asset, and we don't want him. 81
Colonel Ebbets has decided 70 abol-
ish chldren's days. He regretted
keenly the fatality which occurred
when Johnny Quinn fell from the run
way. but pointed out how II might have
happened in any other park in the
country. He will prepare against any
such contingency in the future by ad-
hitting children to the grounds only
when they are under the care of a
parent or guardian.
Four points is the margin which
separates the Robins from the cham
pion Phillies this morning, and much
depends upon the outcome Of the games
this afternoon.
the lead, and once out in front, Fat
Moran says, he will lead his team home
in front by such wide margin that
the fans will think there is no second.
Then there is Wilbert Robinson. man
ager Of the Robins. who insists that
his team is just taking a little breath
ing spell preparatory TO going out in
a fresh sprint.
The Brooklyn players seek no alibi
for their defeats at the hands OF the
Quaker City bunch. They realize that
for the occasion at least they faced a
stronger team and were outplayed.
The spirit OF the club is in no way
broken. To-day the men will plunge
into the fight with renewed vigor and
hope to check the slump.
There could be no alibi for the re-
verses at the hands of the Quskers,
either. They tore into the pitching
in fine style, and played a clever game
in the field. There is little OF the
spectacular about the work of the
Quakers, but they surely get the re-
suits.
