Cleveland, Aug. 8.-The Yankees
cracked under the strain. In view OF
the turn in events during the last two
weeks or SO it was rather asking too
much of Donovan's cripples to extend
a winning streak over more than two
consecutive days.
As matter of fact, neither Lee
Foil nor any of the Indians made any
such request. On the contrary, they
did about everything in their power
to prevent any continuation Of a win
ming streak other than one of their
own initiative. How we'll they man
aged is attested by the score, which
was to 4.
There was never a minute in the
game when the Yankees did any more
than furnish opposition to the Indians,
and it wasn't much of an opposition
at that. The opening ball had scarcely
ceased to echo over the park when the
Indians had five runs on the right side
of the ledger, and from time to time
they made additional entries.
Neither Allan Russell nor Slim Love
had enough to stop them, and the bust
ness of scoring runs thrived. Al
Gould, the pygmy pitcher of the Forest
City tribe was effective throughout,
despite the eight hits which were made
off him. He had knack of allowing
not more than one safe blow to the
inning.

his ankle every week or so he would

KITTY LEAGUE GONE;
NO COIN IN KITTY

Hopkinsville, KY, Aug. s.-With the
disbanding Of the Hopkinsville team
here to-day, all hope Of the Kitty
League being able TO complete the sea-
son. even as a four-club organization,
has disappeared.
The decision of the owners OF the
Hopkinsville franchise 10 disband the
team was announced last night. Madi-
sonville dropped out q week ago, and
the greensboro team was disbanded
Sunday. Poor attendance was given
as the cause. The Dawson Springs,
Henderson and GAINESVILLE clubs will
be disbanded within a day or two, it is
expected.

BROWNS WIN TWICE
FROM THE SENATORS

ST. Louis, Aug. s.-Plank and Groom
were invincible, while Washington's
pitchers were hit almost at will, and
st. Louis won both games to-day, the
first 2 to and the second 8 to 1.
A double by Foster in the ninth inn
ing of the second game, after Williams
had walked and stole second, spoiled a
no-hft game for Plank and sent over
Washington's only run of the day. In
this game, up to the ninth not a Wash
ington player reached second, while st.
Louis pounded Ayres for seven runs in
the two innings he worked, Borton
driving the ball into the bleachers for
a home run, with two on in the first
In the first game Groom held the
visitors to four hits, while Sisler got a
home run in the fourth and drove in
Groom with a two-base hit in the sew
enth for St. Louis's other run.

easily be the greatest of all outfelders.
As it is he is so regarded in Cleveland,
and the more one watches him work
the stronger the conviction grows. He
covered an acre of ground this after
noon, making three nice catches and
stopping a couple Of hits short which
might have rolled for extra bases. Of
course iris was busy with the bat, and
his two hits figured in the scoring Of
runs. His triple in the third came
with a runner on the lines.
Wambsganss, who covered short for
the Indians played one bang-up game.
He had eight chances TO take care of,
and he covered all his own ground and
part of Chapman's in doing it. No
thing was too hard for him. Chic Gan
dill had sixten put-outs, and he had to
stretch for few, while others he dug
right out of the turf. Peckinpaugh, of
the Yankees, played his usual stylish
game.

Giants vs.. Cardinals.

This is said to be August 8 and yet
the Giants have played the Cardinals
only one game at the Polo Grounds
this year. This may be record, but
what if it is? An outburst of double
headers Will help to wipe out this
deficit, and it is tipping of no inside
information to announce that McGraw
may gain at least q game or two on
Brooklyn before Miller higgins can rush
his people out Of town on Friday
night. For Brooklyn NAV be highly
annoyed before the Cubs get through:
Tinker is getting great pitching and
after losing 9 out of II games this

won't. Concerning which we will

Asserts Pitcher Who

The scientific world lost chemist
when Jack Coombs decided that the
physical problem of curving a baseball
with such speed and cunning that 1t
would avoid bat swung through an
arc at a speed Of 125 feet per second
was by far more engrossing to him
than playing with test tubes.
Coombs was graduated from Colby
College in 1906. and was filled with
desire to become famous as a chemist.
He could talk learnedly, and with great
interest, of the wonders Of Sir Will
lam Ramsey, who discovered and dem
onstrated the formation of the ele-
ment helium from radium. Jack knew

stead he took the entrance examina-
tions to Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, and passed with flying
colors, but just when he was about TO
plunge himself into comparative OBJ
security, some one told him that his
fast ball was high, wide and handsome.
In a moment his mind was changed,
and he joined the Athletics.

MEADOW BROOK POLO
TEAMS DEFY RAIN

Narragansett Pier, R. l.. Aug. s.
Lowering clouds and thunderclaps
threatened as Referee Hopping threw
in the ball to start the second round Of
the Polo Association junior champion
ship this afternoon at Point Judith.
The rain fell in sheets before the first
goal had been hit, and with only few
intervals of calm the downpour kept
up 10 the end. Meadow Brook III
proved the better water dogs and won
from Meadow Brook Rugby by l4& to
4h.
Drage took a safety for the Rugby
ties in the first period and Reynal
earned a splashing goal in the second,
but Cooley was penalized for a foul
hook in the same chukker. This cut
the tally to a fraction, and as the team
did not score until the sixth, the
Meadow Brook III team, who were as
active in the deluge as q flock of
stormy petrels, had the commanding
lead at that point of 50 TO a.
Drage was the hardest worker for
the Rugbys, although Reynal and Coo
ley led in goal making. The winners
will play Point Judith in the final for
the title.
