Caldwell pitched in great style for
the. winners, having some oamI.n,,
stuff on his ball most of the time. He
always found himself able to tighten
up when men got on bases. Whl!e
Cleveland made ten hits off him, they
~ese scattered, no more than two ts-
ine made in any one inning.
making four hits in four times up,
scoring two runs and making three
but-outs and one assist. Peckinpaugn
played a great game at short for the
,ssfks.
Two bad muffs were features of the
fielding. Elmer Miller let Joe Woods
neh fy to centre trickle through his
hpenrs in the fourth inning. 1t looked
like an easy out. as he did not have to
move from his tracks to catch the ball.
In the fifth Ray Chapman made a
wo-base mutf of Elmer Millers high
hv 10 short. Two men were out, with
Pipp on second and Bodie on third
They began to run IS soon as Elmer
hit the ball and they crossed the
plate with tallies that counted just as
the sphere went through Chapman's s
cutstretched fingers.
Trouble in Fourth
In the fourth came the trouble and
the end of Enzmann. The Yanks made
FIVE hits and scored four runs. A poor
throw by Chapman helped. In this
inning Groom replaced Enzmann. but
the Yankees showed Bob no mercy
Three runs were in and Walters was
on second when Bob appeared. Cald
we'll singled and scored Walters, and
Gilhooley grounded to Ed Miller.
Three hits, sacrifice and Chapman's S
bad error let the Yanks make three
more runs in the fifth. Two were out
and two were on when Elmer Miller
lifted high fly to Chapman. The
Cleveland shortstop had himself all set
for the fly. and then let it go right
through his fingers. That would have
been the third out, but Pipp and Bodie,
who kept running while the ball was
ground.
The Yanks made hit an inning
again until the ninth Then two hits
and a base on balls resulted in two
more runs.
Indians Score in Fourth
Cleveland scored first in the fourth
inning. Wamby's double, followed by
Elmer Miller's bad muff of Joe Woods
fly. let the run in. Two walks and a
hit netted another run for the Indians
in the seventh. The third run was
given to Cleveland in the ninth. Halt
singled and Caldwell let him steal sec
ond and third. O'Neill and Coumbe
went out and on Ed Miller's single
Halt scored.
For Ray Caldwell it can be said that
he pitched good game. While Cleve-
land made ten hits off him, they were
widely scattered, and when Cleveland
ers got on base most of them stayed
there

Kind Word for Turfman

IOW often do we hear the unintiated traduce the
L l. honor and fair name of the race track fol-
lower. He is held up vulture who preys upon
the widow and orphan Here is a little story that
shows the track follower can be sentimental
and then.
A delegation one day last week visited the Jamaica
track to sell tickets for the boxing benefit for the
Red Cross held Friday night in Madison Square Gar
den. The venders allowed fifteen minutes to
dispose of their in the clubhouse Thev sold
more than $4,000 worth of the pasteboards. That
day at the track the sum of ,O5O was realized.
One sportsman paid $3.50 for gallery seat when all
the box seat reservations had been exhausted.
The following day this same delegation went down
into Wall Street to tackle the kings of finance Thew
battled all day. And what was the answer? The
total sale was $176.
The race track man may be hard He NAV he a
vulture. But he has heart and carries II IN his
sleeve On Saturday at Jamaica we saw cheap
bouquet converted into 100 for the Red Cross The
bouquet seemed one that had been plucked from a
village garden.
These flowers were auctioned half a dozen times
tor sums running anywhere from 500 to 5000. So
soon as they were knocked down to a bidder he
would pay his money and hand them right back to
the auctioneer.

AS for the boys, their exhibition on
the clay courts of the Terrace Club
of Flatbush last week was a revela-
tion to those who have not kept close
watch on the rapid advances made with
in the last twelve months. There are
not many of the ranking players out
side the "frst ten" of last year who
could have put up a faster doubles
, match than did Frank Anderson, Cecil
Donaldson, Abraham Bassford, Sd, and
Gerald Donaldson, Jr., in the final
round Anderson and Cecil won
through their ability to come through
with their strongest attack in the last
set, but there was not much to choose
between any one of the four as to
excellence of play
Vincent Richard, the fifteen-year-old
sensation from Yonkers, who already
holds the national boys title, gave
further evidence that he is destined
to become national figure in the
game by his decisive defeat of Harold
Taylor in the final round of the junior
singles, championship. Richards seems
to be headed straight for the heights
and there is no way of stopping him.
AS Tor the future! 1t holds forth
great promise, in spite Of the devastat-

battles for the beautiful gold challenge

But we are fairly confident that the
youngsters will put up brand of lawn

who make the trip up the picturesque

BiurStedt-Ale lexnndey Team
LMUincible i'm Tennis Play

The combination Of Frederick P
Alexander and Miss Molla Bjurstedt
proved an invincible pair at the Red
Gross lawn tennis tourney conducted
at the County Tennis club of West
chester. at Hartsdale, N. Y. yester-
day. Playing at the height of their
form, the champions swept aside their
opponents in clever fashion.
Alexander and Miss Bjurstedt first
met G. Garland, Yale captain, and Mrs.
Edward Raymond, the local champion,
and were victors in two straight sets.
The score was Cd, 6-3. Lawn tennis
of puzzling variety brought about
the victory with Alexander smashing
ing around the court to intercept many
swift cross-court shots and overland
drives. Garland often concentrated his
attack in low drives over the net, but
invariably failed to find an opening
through either Alexander's or Miss
Bjurstedt's territory.
Soon afterward, Alexander and Miss
Bjurstedt took the court against Will
liam P. Tilden, the Philadelphia cham
pion, and Miss Florence Ballin, and
were again victors in two straight sets.
The Tilden-M Miss Ballin combination
forced their rivals to follow a fast
pace, but failed to fool the champion
pair. The score was 6-3. Cd.
Alexander eliminated his gratuitous
work by pairing with Tilden and op-
posing Garland and E. Hamill, an
other Eli player. The first game found
Alexander and Tilden winning by 50.
but the college men rallied brilliantly
in the second set. However when
matters stood at games all Tilden
left to catch train. George Walker
substituted, and before he had warmed
to his work the Eli representative had
clinched the game by 4-6.
The third game found Alexander and
his partner playing steady tennis and
winning easily by a score of 90

SOLDIERS ON SEA
IN AS|NGLE DAY
Ships Carrying 5000 Men
Escorted Safely Through
Narrow Passage Where
U-Boats Operating.
BY The Associated Press.

Somewhere in England, July 23-
A few days ago the naval authorities
received a pleasant tribute from the
local authorities of a small city To-
Gated near the battleship base.
"You may be interested" says the
letter, "to knoWehow much we think
of your men. They are fine gentle
manly fellows and always welcome
here. On the fourth of July Ameri-
can sailors had shore leave to visit
this. city, which has only 1900 in
habitants. 1t might perhaps have
been anticipated that the visit of
such great number of holiday-mak
ing sailors to such a small town
would have resulted in considerable
trouble to the local authorities, but
there was not SINCE complaint
from any quarter and every citizen
of our town was glad they came"
On the business side of the naval
operations it may be said that the
month of July will show all records
broken in the number of American
soldiers escorted to Europe and the
arrivals have done we'll despite the
efforts of the submarines Yin many
European waters. In single day
recently there were more than 100,-
600 American soldiers on the sea at
one time all of whom arrived safely.
On recent occasion ships carrying
$4,000 Americans were escorted at
one time through narrow passage
where U-boats were known to be op-
Grating, but the destroyers and chas-
ers were so active that not single
attack occurred. Nor was an attack
even attempted.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1918-07-24

A mothers love for her 3-year-old
boy impelled Mrs. Myrtle Neal,
Cheyenne, Wyo., to ride 40 niles on
the bumpers between two box cars
on through freight train with her
child in her arms. She arrived in
Omaha last night.
Mrs Neal was brought to the po-
lice station from the Oxford hotel,
by detectives, for investigation. She
was clad in overalls and jumper, with
a mans cap pulled down over her
closely cut hair,
According 10 the young woman, she
ca1ght fast fruit express as it was
pulling out Of the yards at Cheyenne
Monday morning, and rode between
two cars as far as Pine Bluffs, dis
tance of 40 miles. She told police
that she stuck one of the little fellows
legs inside the waist of her overalls
to keep him from falling.
A railroad pass brought the strange
pair by passenger train here from
Pine Bluffs.
Fear that her husband, Ledger Neal,
would take her boy from her was
the reason given by Mrs. Neal for her
secret trip to Nebraska. Since their
marriage, 8 years ago, Mrs. Neal
says her husband has continually
been moving from place to place.
Iiring Of such life, she obtained
