Whether or not baseball Is to con-
ttnue during the war the players still
are exceedingly anxious to win ball
games. judging by the fght the Yam
ices and st. Louis Browns put up on
the Polo Grounds yesterday trying to
win decision. For fifteen innings they
tugged away at each other and eyentu-
ally at I 80 the st. Louis trainer. Bits
Bierhalter. concluded he had had enough
and called the game on account OF dark
ness with the score deadlocked as TO T.
One may he pardoned for asking what
Bits Bierhalter had TO do with calling
the game but In these crazy baseoall
times anything is likely to happen. NO
umpires showed up to take care OF the
match, so after waiting In vain lot
fifteen minutes for the regular Jumps
70 put in appearance n call was sent out
for volunteers Berhalter. who was an
umpire for years in the American Asso-
cation volunteered to 90 behind me
ulate and Sir Mique Donlin, otherwise
Turkey Mike. officiated on the bases.
The volunteer Jumps had tough
s.ege OF IT as the game had gone nearly
four hours when Hereinafter called
halt. At the time 1t was as light as 1t
had been during the previous half hour.
and II remained that light for another
half hour but Bits probably was hum
cry. also thirsty.
George Ssler chlded his trainer for
terminating the muss. George perhaps
figured II the game LASTED long enough
no would get a hit. The work or fight"
order must be on Georges mind. as he
fns made only one hit here In three
games.
The Yanks slipped into fourth place
as result OF their tie yesterday. the
Senator's edging their way into third.
The Yanks evidently figure they will
play the Brownies again in August, fSr
no twin bill has been arranged for to-
day. the last day Of tt series.

II the game had been for the baseball
supremacy OF the universe there could
have been no more scheming and plan
ming than Managers Higgins and Burke
did yesterday Higgins damned eigh-
teen players into his box score and had
no one left In reserve at the finish but
Love. Vance and Robinson. He even
was forced to employ old Paddy OCon-
ror. the Yank coach, for the first time
this year The former Cardinal caught
Heating in fine style and got hit.
Burke did not call in his bench militia
as freely as Huggins,. but he used all
kinds OF schemes to thwart the Yam
hccs' III inc teHtH ne ndu puT-
posely passed to get at Peck. and in the
fifteenth he had Peck purposely passed.
Both times his strategy worked.
Ray Demmitt kicked Gilhooley's pinch
hit around the outfeld long enough in
the ninth to let Ward score the tying
run, but he was a valuable St Louis
hireling just the same. He drove in
three of the four Brownie runs. and
made two great pegs. one cutting of a
run in the seventh. and another in the
eighth nailed a runner at third base
Wallie Pipp has gone to his home in
Grand Rapids, Mich, to get his per-
sonal affairs in shape as he will be
called into the National Army within
the next few days. He was the only
member OF either the Yanks or the
Browns who was absent yesterday. Ham
Hyatt didn't look particularly graceful
on hrst base. but had the misfortune
to be contra sted with Sisler

the fourth inning, when Pratt opened

The Browns tied in the sixth. Up
10 that time they had made only one
scratch hit off Thormahen. but Herb

Austin moved up peg OH Sisters out.
and Fritz scored on Demmitt's single
10 short right Pratt threw out Aus
