Drowned Out
On Fabian Lot
By W. o. MCCLELLAN

The doubleheader between the Chi
cago White Sox and the embattled
Yankees was drowned out at the Polo
Grounds yesterday. Two innings OF
the first game had been played when
the Harlem River rose from its bed
and spilled itself over Henry Fabian's
lot. At the moment of the deluge the
Sox had an insignificant lead of to 0.
The management, which had been
meeting each customer at the gate
with a small American flag in honor
Of Flag Day, also gave the patrons Of
the moist afternoon souvenir in the
form of a rain check. II was double
blow to the Yanks, that shower. II nit
the box Office a solar plexus blow and
il interrupted the mad ascent OF the
New York Americans
At Fighting Pitch
The Yanks had been heated 10 the
fighting pitch during the first two
games with the Sox, and two more
games would have done them consider
able good at this stage of the race.
Caldwell was pitted against Danforth
when the food came. and in spite Of
the one run lead the Yanks were
chock full of combativeness and OPP
timism.
The Sox departed on the rise of the
food and Clarence Pants Rowland was
thanking his stars that it was no
worse. The Chicago Americans arrived
at this port stiff with hauteur. They
left limp with moisture and humilia-
ton. They seemed relieved that the
Yanks had not taken their sox from
them. They lost everything else during
the visit.
The st. Louis Browns arrive to-
morrow Despite the fact that the
Browns are in the second division, they
have always given the Yankees some
thing of a battle. However, with the
Yanks up and fighting, Wild William
Donovan does not view with alarm the
ST. Louis invasion.
The Yankees and Browns will play
a game Sunday in connection with
sacred concert az the Polo Grounds.
The entire proceeds will be given TO
the regiment Of United States Engi-
neers of New York, which will leave for
France shortly. Captain T. l.. Huston,
part owner of the Yankees, who is now
with another engineer unit IN the west,
will pay what may be his farewell visit
20 the Polo Grounds on that day.
The way that Roger Peckinpaugh,
Pipp and Nunamaker have been busting
up some of the most formidable pitch
ers of the White Sox seems TO be the
tip-ofr that the Yankees have hit their
swatting stride. The team has been
particularly slow in developing any
thing that looked like a punch this sea
son, and without a wallop there are
few baseball victories. Now that the
Yanks have found the punch the thing
to do is TO nurse It.

Groom Shuts Out
The Boston Red Sox

Boston, June 14.-St. Louis shut out
Boston to 0 to-day. Groom allowed
Boston only three hits and only one
man was able to reach second.
On the other hand st. Louis hit
Leonard's offerings at will, getting ten
hits for three runs. The first score
was made in the second inning on
Severeid's single, Marsans's sacrifice
and Pratt's single.
In the sixth, SEVERED tripled and
after two were out Johnson was passed
and stole second. Groom's two-bagger
to centre field scored SEVERED and
Johnson. Not one of the St Louis
outfelders had a put-out

A Triple Steal
AndHome Run
Defeat Dodgers
Cardinals Make Runs That
Win in the Seventh
Inning

st. Louis. June IA triple steal
executed by Miller. Cruise and Long IN
the fifth inning, followed by Hornsby's
home run in the seventh, enabled ST..
Louis to win from Brooklyn, to 4.
Olson tied the score for Brooklyn in
the seventh with a home run that
bounced over the high fence in left
field ~ nan hit a home run with
Pfeffer on 5econd base in the third.
The longer one watches the play Of
Jimmy Hickman, the more he impresses
as a star. The Johnson CIV blade is
smuggling the old apple with vigor and
accuracy, and his average is on the
climb.
Brooklyn might have been bit weak
on finishes, but there was no complaint
on the manner in which the visitors
started. After devoting two innings TO
a study of the methods of Gene Pack
ard, Robbie's men broke into the run
column in the third and scored two
runs, Jimmy Hickman's homer being
responsible.
Those two runs were all right in
their own peculiar way, but they were
not nearly enough. In the last half or
the fifth the Cards developed batting
rash, or went mad with the heat, or
something, and fairly revelled in runs.
No fewer than four were rung over
the platter.

Bethlehem Steel Company "Cuts' Largest Melon Tn
 AM Industrial History

New York, January 2S.-One of the largest melons ever divided by an in- dustrial corporation was announced today when the directors of the Bethlehem Steel corporation increased the common stock dividend from 71a per cent to 10 per cent quarterly, recommended 200 per cent common stock dividend or bonus and also offered the common shareholders the right to subscribe to $15.oo0,0oO new stock at par on the bases of share for share of present holdings.
 This action was made possible by q proposed increase of the common stock from $l5Ooo,0o0 to 5000 0oOo. The plan re garding the new stock is to be submitted to shareholders at special meeting on February H. Inasmuch as Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the corporation, and his friends are believed to control the present stock issue, it is virtually as- sured that the proposition as a whole will be approved.
 VOTING POWER WITHHELD
 Voting power will be withheld from the new stock One reason for this deci- sion, and perhaps the most important, it was explained is that MT. Schwab prom .ised the British government. from which he has received orders running into hum dreds of millions of dollars, that he would not relinauish control of the corporation while the war la sts

Berlin, January 2s.-(via Sayville.) Some of the details of the voyage of the British steamer sYarrowdale. captured by the German commerce raider in the south Atlantic and brought into Swinemuende. were disclosed today by Naval Lieutenant Badewitz, commander of the German prize crew which brought her into port. in an interview with representative of the Overseas News agency. Reporting the interview. the agency says:
 "I-ieutenant Badewitz. who gives the impression of being a true sailor. told the story of his voyage in modest way, making light of his own part in it. He was asked how he succeeded in bringing thA Yarrowdale through the north At lsItic and the blockade into the North sea with a crew of only 16 men and sev- eral hundred hostile persons on board. He replied
 For such an action you need only to exercise coolness and determined, blunt carelesness, especially,if you have to deal with Englishmen. In addition. you need to have handful of smart boys like mine who have their hearts in the right place and revolvers in their pockets. Then you can fetch the devil from his own house. <. <

WAR DEPARTMENT NOW ADMITS THAT TROOPS ARE MOVING Pershing's Men on Lower Line Are Being Brought
 to Main Body THIS PRELIMINARY TO WITHDRAWAL ORDER Policy of Washington Now Is to Make No Announcement as to
 Time When Mexico Will
 Be Evacuated

Washington, January 8.-Troop move ments preliminary to withdrawal of the American expedition from Mexico are be- ing carried out -s.i che southern extremity of the American line under war depart ment orders and as soon as they are complete the main body of the expedition probably will start north.
 For the first time officials admitted to- day that the withdrawal of outposts from Fl Valle and other points about Colonia Dublan had more than local signifi- canoe and was being carried out on or ders from Washington. They made no announcement as to the probable time the general northern movement would begin and would not even admit that with drawal of Pershing's troops after 10 months in Mexico was at hand Since the effort to effect an agreement with General Carranza ended in failure, the administration has indicated that it's next step would be made known through action rather than by announcement.
 STRUGGLE WILL FOLLOW
 Officials are much interested but ap- parently little concerned oyer growing evidences that determined struggle for possession of the territory evacuated by Pershing may be in progress soon be- tween Carranza troops and reyolutionists.
 Today's official dispatches said that Villa and Zapata, the two most conspicu- ous revolutionary leaders had allied them selves for operations against the de facto armies and that 5000 men had been concentrated near Chihuahua for a Villa campaign in the north. Since Carranza declined to accept the Atlantic City pro- tocol officials here have indicated that such problems as the one developing about Chihuahua not only would be left
