Long Batting Streak
OF Ty Cobb Broken

Detroit, July 6.-Ty Cobb failed TO
hit safely in to-day's game here ana
broke his streak OF thirty-nve conseeu-
tive games in which he has hit saIely,
Ne still holds the major league record
with forty games.
Faber and Scott were the pitchers
who stoned Cobb. The former has al
ways been a difficult proposition for the
Detroit star TO solve. Fsb.y during
his major league career, has held Cobb
10 batting average of less than $50.
Cobb began his hitting streak against
Cleveland on Memorial Day. He aver
aged 500 during the Eastern trip, and
continued mis- terrific hitting when the
Detroit club returned to the West

Resolves Itself Into Matter of
Veracity Between Giants
Manager and Mercer

The case of the Baseball Writer'S
Association of New York versus John
J. McGraw and all concerned with the
recent reputation of the now famous
Tener interview will not be concluded
until next Friday. An adjournment
was taken because of the absence Of
two witnesses-Dr. Frank II. Finley
and Urban T. McAnerny, of Pittsburgh,
whom McGraw and his attorney, John
NJ. Ward, desired to have called.
The first section of the case, which
was opened at National League head
quarters yesterday morning, soon set
tied into a matter of veracity between
Manager McGraw on the one side and
Sid Mercer, Sam Crane, James P. Sin
mott and Frank Graham, baseball writ
ers, upon the other.
There was an unusual amount OF
legal talent on hand. The Baseball
Writer'S we're represented by Martin
W. Littleton, McGraw by John Mont
gomery Ward, the league by Samuel IT,
Clement. Of Philadelphia. And among
others present were John Conway
Toole. who acted as chairman OF tne
meeting. and Cornelius J. Sullivan 10
represent the New York club.
Main Points Developed
The main points developed were as
/, Sid Mercer. of "The Globe" the
first witness called, stated that on the
night of the 18th of June, after re-
ceivine word of McGraw's suspension.
he went to McGraw's room and secured
the substantial basis for the interview
which he printed. He admitted that
McGraw was not quoted verbatim, as
much Of the language used could not
be printed. The phrase, hand pieHed
president" might not have been put
lust that way.
.. After securing the interview Mr.
Mercer called up the other sportlng
writers and gave them the substance
~ his talk with the Giant manager.
lie then stated that he went TO MS
room. wrote the story, and before Ming
IL waited for MeGraw's yerlfeatlon.
Mr.. Mercer said that ne handed the
written story 10 McGraw in the lobby
of the Schenley Hotel, Pittsburgh and
that after reading il the Giant man
ager said il WAS o. \.
Mr.. McGraw first denied giving
Mr.. Mercer any interview. Say what
vou damn please" was his answer, so
he testified to the request for state
ment on the case.
4. MeGraw also denied reading over
the Mercer interview. He admitted
taxing il, glaneing at it and then hand
ing it back. On these two nam points
the statement of McGraw and Mercer
was exactly contradictory.
5. Sam Crane, Jim SiDnott and FRANK
Graham all stated that they saw Nc
Grsw the next day, told him IN sub
stance what they had sent and that
McGraw had affirmed their stories.
This is in line with the original state
ment of McGraw that he gave out no
interview in the first place.
s. Sid Mercer, Sam Crane. Jim Sin
mott and Frank Graham all testiied
that after the reputation had occurred
McGraw. in Boston, told them in effect
that he was forced TO sign the repudi a.
ton under pressure. That he thought
il was the best way out OF bad SIT
ustion for everybody

club, had McGraw admit upon the
stand that he was not coerced, that ne

Indians Win Struggling
Match from Browns

st. Louis, July 6.-Cleveland made
eight runs in the third inning to-day
and easily debated st. Louis, II to 6.
In the third inning twenty-one men
went to bat. the two sides making thir-
teen runs and ten hits. Manager Jones
used six pitchers.
Morton, who relieved Coumbe after
the Browns had scored five runs IN
their half of the third, pitched shut
out ball.

Casting glance Of appreciation in
the direction Of his constituents and
a glare OF hatred at the inoffensive Bill
Klein, IIeinie hoisted one from Packard
into right field. 1t was clean smash,
and George Burns trotted home, while
Heine waddled down to first.
The game wound up in the Cardinals
half Of the ninth with about as spectsc-
ular a double play as is staged these
days. Hornsby was on second waiting
for the blow that would bring him
home. Gonzales drove one over Fletch-
er's head into short right field.
Bit of Melodrama
Safe and sane spectators would have
wagered something like 100 TO that it
would 90 for safe hit and that Horns
by would score. Roger had started to
round third when the ball was about TO
kiss the grass. Nobody noticed George
Burns coming in from left field on the
gallon.
Burns slid forward and scooped his
hands against the ground, and the ball
lighted into them without even grazing
the grass. Then Burns Strengthened up
and threw TO Fletcher, who touched
second, doubling Hornsby. The little
bit Of melodrams came so rapidly and
so Unexpectedly that the Giants were
on their way to the clubhouse before
the dazed denzens Of St. Louis realized
what had happened.
The Giants got one in the first, when
George Burns got a base on balls. lie
got 70 second on Herzog's out. Then
BENJAMIN B. Kauff drove hit to centre
and Burns scored.
The Cardinals tied the score in the
fourth chiefly because of the ambition
of David Robertson, the blushlng bride
groom of Richmond, Va. Packard sent
a single 20 right field. Dsvy got the
ball on the rebound and recalled how
he used 10 throw out men from right
in the late spring training season. lie
thought that he would try 1t out once
again and made throw to Holke. The

Disturbance of Peace

Magistrate Geismar held that the
Brooklyn baseball men were amenable
TO the law because the assembling of
the Sunday crowd constituted a dis
turbance of the peace and repose of
the community. IL was his opinion,
based on an old law. that the offence
would have been committed whether or
not admission had been charged.
As a counter, Mr. Ebbets held that
the isolation of the grounds where the
game was played eradicated all sense
Of public nuisance. The Sheriff's Office
had gone to great pains by the use
Of special detectives TO establish its
case.
The game in question was but one
Of a series planned throughout the sea-
son for war relief purposes. The Cubs
and Dodgers were to have played to-
morrow afternoon. This game, how
ever, has been cancelled. In case the
Brooklyn club 5 exonerated by the
Court Of Special Sessions, another
benefit game probably will be played q
week from Sunday.

tance of the Red Cross and it's work.
 According to my way of thinking, some of our people have subscribed very literally, others have not; some are able to give large amounts, others are limited in their ability to give. When we glance down the list, we are forced to the conclusion that number of our people would have been very much more liberal in their contribut- ions of the matter could have been presented to them in it's true light and doubtless many of them will yet voluntarially greatly increase their subscriptions.
 The Red Cross is the wounded soldiers truest ally. It is his minis ter and guardian. For him it is the star of hope that shines in the tren- ches and on the field of conflict where bullets are flying thick and fact, and where our own boys will within a few months bare their breast to the shot and shell of the enemy and where many of them will fall serious ly and mortally wounded begging for help and assistance. It may be boy from our town, perhaps neighbor's boy, yea, your own boy. But if he be a Frenchman or an Englishman, or a soldier boy from any of the other allied countries, will you not help him when his young body and vivid force is spent and shattered fighting for you and for me? If you cannot go to the front, you can help those who do go and surrender their health, their bodies and their lives for you and l. andfor our decendants. What are you doing? Have you done your part
