Giants Hit Snag on Western
Trip-Records for
the Week

DETROIT, May 12.-'The New York
Yankees and the Detroit Tigers gam
bled on the weather this afternoon and
lost. After jumping from New York
after Saturdays game and arriving
here shortly after noon, the two teams
were prevented from playing by slow,
drizzling rain that began just as the
game was scheduled to start. The teams
left to might for the game in New York
tomorrow.
Now York, after finishing its Eastern
series IN the National League with
second string of nine straight victories,
started it's Western invasion Of Pitts
burgh Friday and fell victim to the un
defeated Earl Hamilton, pitching his
last and sixth straight victory before
enlisting in the navy. The Giants suf-
fered their first shut out of the season
Saturday at the hands of Wilbur
Cooper.
Chicago, with nine straight wins to
its credit, was stopped Monday by
Hamilton. Pittsburgh advanced to
games, and Cincinnati also advanced,
winning four and losing three. Phila-
delphia continued its downward slide
and lost all four games, making total
Of nine straight defeats.
In the American League the teams
became closely punched. Boston went
back yesterday into first place, which
it lost during the week, when Chicago
defeated Cleveland, 10. The victory
placed the White Sox second in the
race, while Cleveland dropped back to
a tie with New York for third position.
Cleveland lost four games out of
seven, but went into first place Thurs
day because Boston, whose pitchers
were hit hard, won only one game in
six.
New York won four and lost two
games during the week. Washington
hammered the ball hard and jumped
from last place to fifth. Good pitching
by Gallia and Sothoron helped St. Louis
up nearer the leaders.
Three from Boston
The Giants made it three straight
from Boston Monday and took three
straight from Philadelphia, although
outbatted by the Quakers in two of the
games. Chicago broke even in six
St. Louis to three hits Sunday, regis
tcring Chicago's ninth straight victory.
Hamilton was too much for the Cubs
Monday, however, and they divided a
four game series with Pittsburgh. Chi
cago lost its first game with Boston
Saturday and rain interfered yester
day.
Pittsburgh broke even in double
header with Cincinnati Sunday week.
The Reds took three out of five games

Godfrey Brogan, dug up in The
Bronx by Arthur Irwin, went down to
defeat in a 2-1 pitchers battle which
Newark won from Rochester at Vie
denmayer's Park, Newark, yesterday
afternoon. With perfect support
Brogan would have had at least a
drawn game, for an error and loose
playing aided the Bears in scoring the
telling tally.
Walter Shay, the eighteen -year-old
yanked from the cradle by Connie
Mack, who has starred in every game
he has played here, scored both Of
Newark's runs, made tnree-base hit,
chimed in with sacrifice at the right
time and made two more brilliant
stops. His all-around work and Wood
wards steady pitching, allowing the
Hustlers only three scattered scratch
hits, kept local fans in the right
humor.
In the first inning Shay slashed a
triple to right as a pace setter and
scored on Gathers single Bruggy

Incidentally, it was the first defeat for

Over ten thousand watched the game.
Both teams are made up of former
college and major league stars and
snappy fielding was the order through

punching four hits in the eighth inn

was fought between Lingstrom, of New

daring driver, and is declared to be
one Of the best of the younger crop

Another of the old regime of drivers

Bright Outlook for Racing

THE metropolitan turf season will make its bow
this week with the spring meeting of the Met
ropolitan Jockey Club at Jamaica. There is every
reason TO believe that 1918 will prove one of the most
entertaining years of the American turf since tho
game suffered its first great Eastern setback because
of the antibettng legislation of some ten years ago
Certainly the very best horses in training will be
seen on the Eastern tracks, for the metropolitan cir
cult will be practically unopposed when the snr;no
meetings of the Middle West have been concluded
The East has ever been known for the innate hon.
csty OF those in control both toward the public and
toward the horsemen. Good horses always may be
counted upon to furnish good racing, provided off,
Gals are alert to to that there are no n,an;nu
lations The officials of the East may be depended
upon to rid the local tracks of the scum which s
bound to be attracted here because of the fact that
the East this year will carry the banner alone most
all summer.

Sports Revival Imminent

NOR has enthusiasm been confined to baseball
alone The other sports and all-ama-
teur and rofessional--command more than Gus
tomary need Of respect. The revival of college row.
ing has shown there enough fans for everv line
of sport and recreation.
The golf links crowded. So are the tennis
courts. The running turf was better patron
lied than it has been this winter and spring The
largest crowd in Kentucky turf history saw Willis
Sharpe Kilmers Exterminator win the Kentucky
Derby at Churchill Downs last Saturday afternoon.
And this despite the most depressing weather.
Sports in America, it would seem, are too deeply
rooted in public affection to be greatly Influenced save
in the face of national calamity.
