the September run as long as the May

As Vaughn pitched In Philadelphia
last Tuesday he was not exactly due un-
Gil to-day, but most everybody In New
York expected Joc Tinker would try to
enap our streak. But %Josephus has other
plans. lie can now open and close his
elk game Brooklyn series with Vaughn,
and Big Jim is "a tough bird at all times.
1t won't be Joe Tinker's fault II the
Brooklyn fans are saved the necessity
OF spending two dollars for bleachcr
