.PIPP POOR PINCH
 HITTER FOR TANKS
 IN DOUBLE HEADER

New York, Aug. 3.-Just little bit of sumption or a spark of energy in the first game against the Browns at the
 Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon would have put the Yankees in third place in the American league stand ings. Donovan's Inconsistents allowed Bob Groom to shut them out in the first contest of double header by 8 to o.
 In the closing engagement New York tore off Eddie Plank, to 1, but
 the earlier reverse duNed this accom-
 plishment so far as passing the beaten
 Tigers and Indians was concerned. Groom had about as much license to stagger through to a shut-out as the
 Kaiser just now would have to pay
 Groom didn't beat the Yankees. They beat themselves. This pitcher, who
 was the easiest kind of mark for
 New York when he was with the Washington club, but who now hangs Ion to a major league pay check be- cause of his ability to beat the Yan- kees, left himself open to assassfna- | ton half d dozen times
 He was wild as a hawk, but the lo- calls absolutely refused to take advan- tage of the fact. Irrespective of con-
 ditfons Donovan's 'batters would lam
 away blindly at every pitch that came
 over the plate.
 The trouble with Donovan's heavy
 ordnance was top-heaviness. Most of the heft was above the shoulders l Neither Pfpp nor Baker could hit a ball out of the infield, Nearly every
 time either came up pinch hit would
 have been damaging to Groom. Twice
 Pipp hit into double plays, and later
 the best he could do was to advance | two runners with the second out l Pipp, the Pickler, certainly looked
 a pickle. Baker was so far away that
 first up in the fifth, he hit with three balls and one strike. Groom missed
 the plate with his first three offer | lings

ED WALSH DOES
 COMEBACK STUNT

Chicago, Aug. 3-In the scene of his former triumphs Big Ed Walsh tried his comeback yesterday when he pitched, for the Braves against the Cubs in the first half of double header In order not to strain his arm too much in his first attempt Walsh pitched only five innings but during that time he blanked the Cubs. He gave three scattered hits and all though he did not have his old stuff on the ball he used his head to good advantage.

The Harvard manager took .occa- sion to deny at the collegiate meeting in Washington yesterday that Harvard would not play football this season for fear of being beaten. He said that of all the members of last years varsity and freshman squads only four had not enlisted.
 The New York Sun thinks it is a mistake for Harvard, Yale and Princeton to abandon the varsity contests. It is figured that even if the veterans were absent, new ma terial could be found in large quanti- ties. Colgate. with only 500 students, lost it's whole team but is willing to play this year. with whatever ma terial that can be found. At any rate it has been decided that Yale, liar yard and Princeton will content themselves with freshman teams this year.
 Outfielder Purcell has quit the Hartford club. He said he got tired of playing with a losing club.

RULES BIG LEAGUES NEED
 NOT CLOSE SOON

Chicago, Aug. o-President Wilson's s opinion, expressed through his secre- tary, J. P. Tumulty, that there is no necessity at all for stopping or cur tailing baseball schedules" was read with enthusiasm by heads of major league teams in Chicago today.
 That's the best news have rece1v- ed in a long time," said Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the Chicago American league club. ''I think we baseball men are as patriotic as any. We are behind the president all the time. If he should ask Us to close our gates as a matter of patriotism, the gates would be closed without murmur. But I believe we can do our country a genuine service by keep ing its people interested in healthy. outdoor sports and recreation during our period of stress.
 President Wilson's opinion is tribute to baseball, an immense help to us all"

BLUE RIDGE LEAGUE
JUMPS GET WR|TE-UP
IN THE PHILADELPHIA NORTH
AMERICAN, WHICH SPEAKS
OF MCGOWAN AND CROSS.

The Philadelphia North American
has the following to say about two
of the umpires of the Blue Ridge
League:
THE Blue Ridge League isn't the
biggest baseball circuit in the MI
nors, but two Of its jumps are posi-
bilities for the major leagues next
year.
One is the youngest In the circuit
and the other is a veteran. They are
youthful Bill MCGOWAN, whose home
is in Wilmington, Del, and Monte
Cross, who doesn't have to be Ia
beled.
MCGOWAN is trying hard to follow
the example of Bill Evans and get
on a major league staff, without
spending a score of years in base
ball as a player.
Evans never played in a league in
his life. He was appointed to Presi-
dent Johnson's staff when he was
well under the 30 year mark, and
made good from the start. Today
he ranks with the best in the coun-
try and his helped and dignified the
role of umpiring by his timely and
authoritative articles on the subject.
"In considering Billb application,
President Tener and Johnson should
bear the success Of Evans in mind.
Bill has made good in the Blue Ridge
League and the most %fiattering re-
ports have been received about him.
'The same can be said of Monte
Cross, who is booked for a trial by
Ban Johnson. according to persons
who know. Cross has tried umpir-
ing before and this season his work
hsa been c~onspicuously satisfactory.
Monte is free to confess that umpir-
ing and baseball are two different
things.
~He applied himself closely and
seriously to the work of Judging
plays and soon became an uneom-
monty satisfactory official. He is de-
serving of a trail in the fast set
