PECKINPAUGH AND
 PIPP HELP TANKS
 WIN WITH H0MERS

New York, Aug. 16-Bob Shawkey, Donovan's most reliable pitcher. twirled for the Yankees at the Polo Grounds yesterday, and with the aid of his comrades defeated the Ath- letics by 6 to 2. This was shawkey's fifteenth victory of the year. He is charged with 10 defeats. These Ag- ures take no account of the games he has saved or finished for other boxmen, and he has assumed the res- cue role on considerable number of occasions.
 Lajoie appears to be gathering speed with the years. On Monday he beat out bunt and yesterday he stole base. The big Frenchman is just as graceful as ever, both in the field and at the bat. When he hits them they still travel, and the ease of his sec ond base play is an object lesson to youngsters. f.
 Williams is older than most of Mack's discoveries. Instead of being merely a schoolboy. he is a product of the University of North Carolina. His college education probably in- cluded the theories of curves and angles, but it didn't do much for him against the Tanks.
 They walloped his offerings with a vim and vigor that brought satisfying results. Pipp and Peck especially were pleased with his wares. Each of them made two hits and each of them secured a home run. Pipp waited un- til two men were on the sacks before delivering hisc ircuit clout, while Peckinpaugh chased one comrade home ahead of him. .,

fact that he has not been performing on turf in the East throughout July and the first part of August this year leaves his admirers doubtful and un- easy.
 Those who are rated as the best judges do not think that anybody out side of the charmed circle of the three former champions, Mclaughlin, Will Hams, Johnston, has more than a fighting chance to gain the title. If they were forced to name them in or der of probability of success, they would say: Johnston. Williams, Mo-. LoughIin.
 A fortnight ago, if one had to select probable winner as fourth choice, he might have hesitated between R. Lindley Murray, late of California and now of Bayonne, N J., and Karl H. Behr. But after last weeks Sea- bright tournament, George M. Church, the Princeton star. has now to be talk en into account. He has been playing well this season, and his close ap- proach to a victory over Williams at the Jersey resort adds much to his prestige.

DEMAREE BLANKS GIANTS IN FOURTH STRAIGHT TRIMMING

Philadelphia. Aug. 16-Jeff Tes- reau, pitching game of exceptional merit. blanked the Phillies in every inning after the first yesterday, but and the "but' is big one-Al De- maree also pitched a game of un- qualified excellence and shut out the Giants. The receding Giants, there fore. bit the dust again. They've bit ten 1t four times in Philadelphia since they came over from New York Sat urday fresh from successful re- pulse of the Western teams.
 The score was 1 to 0. It was the second whitewash of the series. with the Giants receivers of that commod- ity both times. It was the second oc- casion of the series on which Demaree had pitched the Phillies to victory and the Giants to defeat. Any time the ex-Giant faces his former mates all he needs to paralyse their efforts is a ball, a glove, and a fresh stick of chewing gum.
 Demaree was even more effective than he was last Saturday and more efrective than Alexander was Monday, but he had a harder game to pitch, because it was closer. He had to pro- ceed with much more care. He couldn't relax at any time. The Giants these days are no fence break CTS. but any old team is likely to grab one run in a ball game.
 Yet the Philadelphian didn't have it all to himself as a fancy mound workman. Tesreau pitched splen- did game for the Giants. His work was as capable, in fact, as that Of De- raaree for the Phillies, and he needed only the support when Demaree had to be as effective as the latter.

White Sox Shortstop Was Amateur When He
 Got Chance to Rise

Zebulon Terry, now shortstop with yhe Chicago Americans, is one major 1eaguer who has never, in all his life, played professional baseball. Be- fore he Joined the ranks of out-and- out professionals Terry was an ann ateur through and through, refusing even to sully his college record by so much as one game of summer ball.
 There have been few youngsters who have climbed the ladder at the same rate of speed as this chap. Just . few years ago he was Los Angeles high school lad. who played SO good a shortstop for his prep school team that he was elected captain of his ag- gregation>
 From Los Angeles young Terry jumped to Stanford University, and still continued to show such a good brand of baseball that he made" his varsity team as shortstop in his freshman year.
 Naturally the publicity that came brought scores of minor league clubs to sign a contract.
 Nothing doing!y he declared, with a tone that carried conviction. "Once through the university I am going into business fl Los Angeles. But, once for all I'll say it, am not going to embark in professional baseball"
 But it's wise man who now and then changes his mind. Terry proved himself in this classification by falling victim b the convincing arguments of Frank Dillon. then at the head of the Los Angeles team, owned by Horny Berry. Terry had some school ing in Ire fall of 1914, but last season was practically his first at the hard task of making good in his newly cho- zen profession

BRIDGEPORT GETS
 TERRIBLE BEATING
Especial to The Farmer)

Portland, Aug. 16.-The Bridgeport club took the worst beating of the season yesterday when the Portland leaders put them over the jumps by 20 to 1. The luckless Hustlers were buried under an avalanche of hits and were never able to emerge.
 Russell, the pitcher Bridgeport ob- tained from Toronto, reported yes- terday and was immediately sent into battle. The former Cornell youngster had nothing to puzzle the leaders and they slammed him for 13 runs, in three innings. Blake left his left field job and twirled the remainder of the game. He twas lambasted hard in the closing sessions. Because of the bom- bardment of hits Bridgeport fielded poorly. Martin, who pitched for Port land, had an easy time checking the Hustlers. The list of killed and wounded:

league season but they probably won't say much about it.
 The next home game will take place Sunday when New Haven will appear again at Newf1eld. After that bitter struggle last Sunday the fans will probably turn out in force.
 It is said that Billy Gleason, the Lynn second baseman, may be draft ed. Gleason is fast man but not much of a hitter. His small stature makes him hard to pitch to, how ever.
 Give Outfielder Blake of the Bridge port club credit for being a willing worker. He went in and pitched yesterday after Russell was knocked out and on a previous occasion he took chance at third base. Blake has been batting well, too. in recent games.
 Capt. Black of the Yale football elev- en has been attending ball games at the Polo grounds to get into condition for the gridiron season. The Yale candidates report September 5 ard the New Haven boys will soon be caus- ing their faithful rooters either joy or sorrow.
 The Boston Braves again reduced the lead of the Brooklyns yesterday when they beat the Dodgers in the fourth game of the series, thereby making the count three out of four. Brooklyn's lead in the race is now re- duced to three games. It is a pe- culiar fact that Rube Marquard should have been the pitching victim. When he was with the Giants Marquard was always easy for the Braves and yes- terday they banged him in timely fashion,
 Some of the New York writers are finding fault because the Yale-Har- yard and Army-Navy football games are scheduled for the same day, No- vember 25. The soldiers and sailors battle at the Polo Grounds. New York, while the collegians clash in New Ha- ven. Maybe the conflicting dates will give the common people a chance to buy few tickets.

(By WagnerD

According to stories in the New York papers, Benny Kauff is anxious to leave the Giants. It is reported that Benny cannot get along with Manager McGraw and wants to join the Cubs. Kauff is disappointed be- cause his batting average is about .265 instead of 300 as he expected. He declares he can't play ball for Mo- Graw.
 The Gian. S manager claims that at the beginning of the season he didn't say anything when Kauff hit at bad balls but recently he reprimanded Kauff and told him if he didn't stop going after wide balls and cumming things up on the bases he would inn pose fine. Kauff is said to have re- torted, i've forgotten more baseball than you ever knew" Benny talked with Joe Tinker, the Cubs manager, and said he would give Tinker a bonus of ,$5, ,0O0 if he would engineer a trade that would get Benny away from the Giants.
 Although it looked at one time as if Marty Walsh had quit Bridgeport for good it appears now as if the trouble between the big pitcher and Manager Healy will be adjusted. President Clark Lane of the local club arranged a conference with Walsh this afternoon and it was expected that everything would be settled satisfac- torily.
 Walsh was sore because Manages Healy wrote Report in Portland in. condition to pitch if your wife will let you" Walsh considered this an insult to his wife and said he would quit unless Healy apologized to Mrs. Walsh. This morning the pitcher got another telegram ordering him to re- port in Lynn. He says he will go to his home in New York unless Presi- dent Lane can straighten things out The trouble started last week when Walsh failed to report in Hartford. After pitching Sunday he didn't want to go to Portland until Wednesday and when he failed to leave here with the club Monday he was fined $10.
