Within the last week the Savages
have done more to give Lincoln a
much needed lift than any Lincolnite
dreamed was possible, and, as d result,
the pucklings are now only "a points
behind the Omahogs, while before the
SaVages entered into the equation they
were 81 points behind.
All In the Breaks.
OF course. it has all been IL the
breaks of the game, and the SavageS
undoubtedly tried just as hard - win
games in Lincoln as they have trleo
since going to Omaha But the stand
ing out feature of the whole thing is
that they dropped four out of five to
the Ducklings and have won two
straight from Omaha-won them with
apparent ease.
The first victory over the Rourkes
Tuesday was a surprise to everybody
and most likely to the league leaders
themselves more than to any one else.
But when they came back wednesday
and took the long end of a to score
from two of the best pitchers Omaha
has. it must have made the little JOY
bugs dance all over Ducklingville.
Every Game Counts.
Should the Savages win one more
from Omaha, Holiness battlers will be
easily within striking distance and by
the time they invade the Rourke camp
Saturday those they wish to strike
should be pretty badly shot to pieces
IncidentaIly. if the Savages win an
other from Omaha, the worst they can
do on the present road trip Will DC 10
win eight and lose nine, which is not
ni1ch a bad showing as was expected
when the Engle men were dropping
one after another in rapid succession
In Des Moines and Lincoln.
Wednesdays game indicated that
the Rourkes might be breaking unuer
fhe strain and it was not as legitimate
Iv earned as was that of Tuesday.
Neither Prince Gaskell nor Marty
O'Toole pitched as effectively as Pete
Henning and all the Savages had 10
do to win was to take advantage OF
the breaks, which they did on every
occasion
- Rourkes Showed Poorly.
A total of seven errors went into the
column against the Omahogs and three
walks and two wild pitches helped the
Savages pile up their scores. How
ever. the Savages were in the lead
from the start and made enough to
win the game in the first three in
nings when they put across five coun-
tiers. The other runs they made came
IN the fifth.
The Savages sprung another mem
Der of the Lathrop family on their
opponents when they sent Ralph
-Lathrop. a brother of Pitcher Bill, to
7eenterfield. and the younger Lathrop
getting two hits and scoring one OF
the seven runs.
=aiph Lathrop attended Notre
Dame at the same time his big brother
was making himself famous there and
both played on the Netre Dame team
Ralph graduated last year. Paul
Mowers, old Notre Dame football play
er. who knows the latest Lathrop ac-
QUESTION to the team. says he ought
to make the Savages good man.

A REAL YELLOW PERIL
kumagae Has Fine Chance to Become
U. S. Tennis Champion.

New York, Aug. 24.-Ishya una
gae's brilliant tennis games in the big
American invitation Journeys - no
flash in the pan. according to George
II. AIDE, president of the National Lawn
Tennis association. AIDE told the L-ess
he never watched more corsis tent
racquet wielder nor a more finished
player at his particular style of the
game.
If AIDES judgment counts for any
thing, and of course it does. Kuma-
gae is going to have better than q
fighting chance to carry away the
highest tennis honors the United
States can offer next week. He is en-
tered in the national tourney which
will open Monday on the course of the
West Side Tennis club at Forest Hills,
l.. T., and, as he is resting this week
rather than run the risk of firing him
self in the Invitation tourney at South
ampton he may be counted on to be in
excellent form.
Kumagae is a small man. almost as
small at william NJ. Johnston. -lic ma
tional singles champion and Johnston
weighs about 11S pounds. But the
driving power in KumaGae's brown
arms is almost uncanny.

New York, Aug 24.-John X Tener

Temple. points out that over a sweep
of two decades the Pirate star never

most ball players do in a lifetime. But
It always has seemed to be WaGner's
misfortune to have the sport writers
overlook his tricks and so he never has
been given the real credit due MIN.
Wagner's Shrewd Play.
Wagner executed play in Pitts

my opinion, as one of the cleverest 1

because the inside stuff escaped the

next Pirate, hit to Bancroft at short

threw to Luderus at first In an effort
to make double play.

Wagner. The aged Pirate eluded him
