TWO HOMERS BY
 HENDRIX, ALLOW
 TANKS EVEN SPLI1

New York. June 2l-Before the grand old game of baseball became all cluttered up with Rays and Claudes and Percys the grand old name of Tim used to be forever as- sociated with hitting. Timothy Hen dryx, last of the ball. players to wear the celebrated monicker, came through yesterday, and restored the handle sefr Tim to it's pristine glories.
 In the first game of sensational double header between the. Yankees and the Boston Red Sox Tim twice lifted home runs over the 1eft-field wall and twice tied the score. The multitude threw straw kellies to the breezes and acclaimed the name of Timothy till the. echoes. in the lee of Coogan's Bluff resounded with the clamor
 This double-header produced more thrills than were had at any dual meet for a considerable session. The Yan- kees, outfighting and outganing the Red Sox in the first, with aid funish- ed by Timothy's trusty club, won out in the ninth by the tight score of 3 ito 2, In the second game the New York Ameriaans, opposed by Babe Ruth and most of the breaks, lost out in the ninth by a. 3 0 score.
 In both games the Yankees played like a team that is in the pennant race for keeps. After frittering with the weaker teams of the league. they came through and showed their latent class with the worlds champions. The result was two samples of baseball as it should be played. Boston burn ed up their two best pitchers in the first merry meeting. Leonard and; Ruth. The temperamentai Leonard showed some signs of cracking under the strain. but Ruth, the logged type of the fighting pitcher, showed more determination and courage when he was hard pressed.
 Russell, who was right yesterday, finished both games for the Tanks Mogridge was started in the first and was taken out for a pinch hitter. Gull lop was going nicely in the second game when he. too. was removed for the chance of the much needed. timely swipe. .1es.ess.

 Regulations for Truth Telling.

 writing interviews sent to their re- spective papers.
 These are to be turned over to the National League, with the demand that the league take the matter up and call for full hearing of the facts in the case. It is even hinted that in the event the National Leagte fails to take action suit for damages will be filed by one or more writers and the matter taken into court, where a thorough airing of the muss will be forced, so that the writers of ''scurril- ous articles" be put right before the public.
 Four local newspaper men are travelling with the Giants. All of them sent in what purported to be inter- views with McGraw. These varied in tone, but all implied that McGraw was highly incensed and was pracri- cally unrestrained in his characteriza- tions of President Tener and Umpire Byron.
 The local chap pter intends to- give McGraw plenty of opportunity to con- front those he brands as liars either before the board of directors of the National League or before a court of law. The organization does mot in- tend to stand idly by in order to per init McGraw to get out of a predica- ment. They point to the fact that McGraw easily could have cleared himself by acknowledging to the Ma tiona1 League directors he made the statements when in the heat of pas sion and was ready to apologize to President 7Tener for his action.

 BEATS AMERICANS

New London, June 21-Although Bridgeport got only, three hits from Freddy Reiger yesterday the. Ameri- cans made the Planters travel ten inn ings before New London could get a victory by 2 to 1. It was well play ed contest that kept the fans excited throughout. Although weak at the bat the Americans played a great de- fensive game.
 Manager Krichell tried his new pitcher, Lennon of Niagara Univer- sity, against. the Planters The youngsterzwas a trifle unsteady but was good with men on bases and un- til he was removed in the ninth had allowed only one run. He gave five passes and seven hits. With more ex- perience Lennon will probably be 9 winner.
 Bridgeport was ahead by 1 to 0 in the ninth when Reiger's double brought in the run that tied the score. After Becker had scored on Reiger's hit, Lennon was taken out and Banks sent in. The Planters got the win ming tally in the tenth. Hank Brac- kett led Bridgeport's attack with two hits and Joe Briggs got the other blow> The scorer

New York, June 21-John McGraw, who apparently cleared himself with the National League on Tuesday, is in about as tight a little fix as he has been during his entire career. Mo- Graw's attempt to clear himself by passing the buck to the correspond making no great hit with the mem bers of the Fourth Estate who write baseball in this city.
 In a sweeping repudiation McGraw branded all alleged interviews in which he was supposed to have at tackled Tener, the National League, and it's umpires as "scurrilous ar ticles'' T>at may have cleared John J. with Tener, but perhaps this time McGraw has bitten off more than he can Chew. H.
 Newspapers of the city do not pro- pose to pass so lightly over the man ner which McGraw has chosen to ex- tricate himself from the perils into which statements credited to him in interviews had thrown him. His de- nial leaves the matter hinging on 9 point of personal veracity, and steps are anticipated that will bring out thorough investigation.
 An informal discussion held by the local chapter of the Baseball Writers Association yesterday afternoon de. veIoped the facts that action will be delayed until the writers travelling with the Giants return home. AS sooI as they arrive they will be asked u sign afidavits setting forth just ex' actly the authority given them To

ROAST M'GRAW
 FOR HIS DENIAL. OF
 TENER INTERVIEW

As was expected the statement. by John McGraw in which he repudiated interviews given by him to New York sporting writers on the Tener case, didn't make much of a hit with the New York papers. The Globe says:
 The letter doesn't sound like Me Graw. It's the first time that he has ever backed water on anything he said. Never before has he failed to stand by what he said, sand there are many who. are loath to believe that he is the author of the letter which was sent to the league in his defense. If McGraw really wrote the letter or approved of it he has castsa sad re- flection upon the veracity sof news paper men who have been his friends for so many years.
 'McGraw was in Pittsburgh when heAwas notified that he had been fin ed $500 and suspended for sixteen days for his run-in with Umpire Byron. and it was there that he gave out interviews to the newspaper men travelling with the Giants, interviews which McGraw is credited with term ing "certain scurrilous articles"
 ssThe interview with McGraw was authentic. We take the word of ME. Sid Mercer for, it. MT. Mercer was in the Globe office oh his way to Bos- ton last Saturday, and the subject of Mr.Graw's battle with Byron was talk ed over.
 'McGraw told me that story" said MT. Mercer. ''And I didn't let 1t go at that. either. After I had swritten 1t, I took it to him and he indorsed every line of it. was playing it safe. so that there would be no come back
 MT. Mercer's explanation was made, too, at a time when there dint appear to be any sign of McGraw being called by the National League to explain the interviews.
 MT Mercer was not the only core spondent to whom McGraw unfolded himself on the subject of Tener. By ron. annd the National League in general. Sam Crane. James F. Sinnot, and Frank Graham printed interviews on the subject too, and it can't be that they are all wrong. Personally, we must line up with Damon Run ron. and the National League in writers cannot be impugned. It really &eems hard to believe that McGraw Gould be so contemptible as to cast reflection upon men who have been His friends for so many years

GIANTS MISS MCARTY, HARD HITTING CATCHER,
 WHO BROKE HIS LEG

The Giants feel seriously the loss of Lew McCarty, their hard hitting catcher, who recently broke his leg al Cincinnati. It will be three weeks at least before he will again appear in the lineup. and perhaps longer McCarty is not alone a top-notch player behind the bat but his work with that instrument has done much to put McGraw's men in their pres erlt high place.
 This is the second accident of |, ser fousrnature sustained by a Giant play CT this year. Herzog, the victim of the first. Is still suffering considerably and is far from being able to play his best. MeCarty sustained a brok- en hand while with the Brooklyn club last spring but had escaped injury so far while with the Giants. The bur- den of catching for the McGrawites is now on Bill Rariden. A. very able man but not as goed as MeCarty with fhe bat

PHILLIPS ADVANCE
 ON GIANTS BY 2
 VICTORIES IN DAY

Philadelphia, June 21-Ineffectiye pitching. weak hitting and cratic fielding cost the Robins both ends of the double-header before a big crowd here yesterday afternoon. Moran,s pennant chasers annexed the first DOT ton of the bargain day attraction by 2 to g. and the late encounter by g to 2.
 Eppa Rixey, the lanky virginian, pitched the first game for the PhiIlies and held the upper hand from the start to the finish. Erskine Mayer pitched the second game and was even more effective than the left handler.
 Mayer held the National League champions to. five scattered hits and was seldom in trouble. Daubert hit him for a homer in the third and scored again in the sixth on a single, Whitted's boot and an infield out
 Sherrod Smith, the left-hander, ap- peared on the pitching mound for the until the fifth, when the Phillies scored four runs. Larry Cheney re- placed him and was later taken out so that Fabrfque could pinch-hit for him. Dell finished the one-sidedf affair.
 Robbie believed that Jack Coombs could secure an even break, and so sent the veteran to the pitching mound in the second performance. But Coombs was even less effective than Smith, and in the first three innings the Phillfes rolled up a lead of four runs

KAUFF'S SMASH
 GIVES EVEN BREAK
 TO M'GRAW CLUB

Boston. Mass, June 21-The best ton Braves yesterday was to get an even break in a double bill. Early in the afternoon, after establishing a to 0 lead against Tyler and behind Anderson, the leaders lost their then, SaIlee hard Boston got punches Of four and three runs for a. to, 4 finish
 The second game was a boxman' s battle between Pol Perritt and Jess Barnes, the Giants being slightly out hit. but winning, 1 to 0, by virtue of two healthy drives by Burnes and Kauff in the opening inning. In this game, the home club fought to the flimit, but Perritt's support was fault less.
 In the opener the New Workers looked like winners through their own fourth inning, with a 3 to 0 lead es- tablished by Zimmerman's triple and Robertson's single for count in the second. The brace of runs was pro- vided in the fourth, when, following an opening pass to Kauff, Pitcher and Robertson both ripped off clean sin gles, Kelly's boot on the latter's hit dllOWIuS 10CCu0T lO I0dCu A1Qili where he scored on Holke's out at first.
 It was immsdiately after this that the Braves got four runs against An Fderson and went into the lead. never to be headed. Two innings later against Sallee, the Braves scored three more runs. In the seventh, New York got a run on a pass to Krueger, "a, wild pitch, and fBurns's single.
 The Giants only and winning run, in the second game was scored in the first inning before there were two out. Burns's opening double crashed past Wflhoit, and then making the circuit was an easy matter on Herzog's bunt to Barnes and a solid hit to right cen ire by Benny Kauff.
 Three scattered singles were all the Giants made thereafter against the young Boston pitcher, while, al- though the Braves reached Perritt safely in six different innings. Pol either was airtight with men on bases or was pulled out of holes by his ex- fce1Ient support.

Cutting the Corners

The Yankees have some great home run hitters if nothing else. When Baker. or sPipp don't give the ball a ride into the bleachers Tim Hendryx comes through with a few circuit smashes.
 Joe Rodriguez, the Cuban first baseman, has taken slump in bat ting lately. The former New London first sacker hasn't made a hit in sey- eral games.
 Cincinnati has been playing much better ball. The Reds are shy of good pitching talent but have some good hitters. Manager Mathewson has scouts beating the bushes for, pitch CTS and hopes to strengthen the staff soon.

 Lew Wendell, who caught for Wa terbury in 1914 when Lee Fohl maf1- aged the club, is first backstop for Rochester and considered one of. the best young catcherS on the circuit.
 Tommy DUmney of this city has re- turned from Wellsville, NY, where he played against the Giants in an exhibition game last Monday. Tom my says the town made a, holiday of the affair and it was a fine party all around.
 There seems to be internal dissen- sion in the Springfield club. Infielder Mahoney is released and now comes the news that Infielder Hammond has been given leave of absence.
 Manager Pieper of Hartford has lined up a good ball club now except in the pitching department. His pres ent staff of hur1ers will never do.

HUDSON REGATTA
 FOR lST TIME E: NOT
 HELD BY COLLEGES

This is the day upon which, in times of peace. thousands f1ocked to Poughkeepsie on the Hudson to wit ness the Americs-n intercollegiate re- sAtta- Cornell has most often car ried oh the laurels in that classic event. but not without lexerting them selves Considerably In 1912 Cornell finished just four seconds ahead of Wisconsin and the year before that Columbia was just six seconds behind them to go over the finish line. In 1908 when Syracuse won Columbia was only one second behind. The closest finish on record was that made by the four-oared crews in the 1905 regatta As far as the specta- tors could determine Cornell and Syracuse were on an absolutely even line
 " The judges declared Cornell victori- GUS. which decision was followed by loud sppotests from the friends of Syracuse. The cry: ..Kir inc judges" was not infrequently heard. but, of course, the event went off without any spilling of blood. The Syracuse crew itself took the verdict of the judges like true sportsmen. But ~'S@~~~>~s -DCAOAC yO0 CO0E4 say aCk Robinson" the judges had changed their mind and Syracuse was declar- ed to have won The Syracuse en- thusiasts immediately changed their minds as to the advisability of kill ing the judges.
 On the contrary. they cried "vive'' this time But now Cornelrs friends were peeved. A little while later and. behold, the judges had again changed their minds and ran up Cor nelPs colors. Further discussion fol- lowed and after a few hours the final decision awarded the victory to Syra- cuse, which, so the verdict ran, had finished an inch ahead of Cornell, or fraction of an inch.
 Columbia has for many and many year fought for victory on the waters of the Hudson but only one time has that illusive damsel smiled upon her That was in 1895, in the famous "submarine regatta'' The New Workers won by footspump which they applied continlously in or der to keep their shell from sinking The river was unusually rough and the University of Pennsylvania boat sank while still a mile short of the finish line, while the Cornell boys were spilled into the river when their craft went to pieces

Sportsman of the Boston Globe. has heard a report that Hurry-Up Yost, the University of Michigan coach has struck rich field of oil on his property near Winchester, Ky As there is oil in that country there seems no good reason to disbelieve the authentic city of the report. Whether, however, it is true or not there may be no doubt that Yost will not relinquish his interest in football. It is not likely that Michigan will lose his services, although of course, there is always the chance that he'll buy a team of his own and build a private stadium.
