World Herald. I: Townseuds, 0.
Before one of the largest crowds
that has attended the city champion
ship elimination series staged under
the auspices of the Municipal ANA
teur Base Ball association and in
one of the hardest fought games of
the series, the Unions, pennant
winners of the City league, defeated
the Riggs Optical Co., champs Of
The American league, yesterday aft
ernoon at Luxus park, by the score
of 4 to 3, thereby making it two
straight and earned the right to play
the Western Union, Saturday class
B champions.
The Union-Riggs contest was
marked by brilliant playing and was
hard fought from the moment I'm
pire John Gonding alled."Play ball"
until Center Fielder Claude High
smith of the Riggs, with two men on
and two down, drove liner to Nc
Intyre in right field, which ended
the game and gave the Sunday class
B championship honors to the City
league champs.
Game Pitchers Battle.
The contest was pitchers battle
between Harrison Sucker, young
ster, who made his first appearance
in amateur base ball a short time
ago. when he pitched for the Unions
in the final games of the City league
race, and Manager James Baum
gardner, the Optical lads mainstay.
Honors were about evenly d.
vided between these two crack hurl-
ers, although the winners secured
five hits and the Riggs four. Baum
gardner whitfield nine men and is
sued but three free passes, while
Sucker struckout six and walked
four.
Sucker, was however, strong in
the pinches, while Baumgard:er
was hit when hits meant runs.
Sucker was practically responsible
for the City leaguers' victory, as
he made two hits, both figuring in
the scoring.
Errors Prove Costly.
Errors by Ike Mahoney, crack
second baseman, and Hood" Smith,
backstopper of the Riggs, was prac-
tically responsible for the Optical
lads defeat. as these two misplays
let in the winnig tally in the ninth.
In the opening game for the
Class c championship the World
Herald team proved too much for
the Townsend Gun Co. and easily
defeated their opponents by to
0 score.
The pitching of Eddie McDer-
mott, George Bernstein and Vol
ker's hitting and the brilliant field
ing were the main features Of the
newspaper lads victory. McDer-
mott whitfield IS of the Gunners and
allowed but five hits, while Bern
stein, who made four hits out of
five trips to the plate, including a
pair of doubles, and Volker's sim
giles figured prominently in the run
getting.
Joe Ort, the crack hurler for the
Townsends, who started the hurl-
ing, pitched great ball until the
third round. Ort, in trying to field
a grounder, fell and sprained his
ankle, which caused him to retire
from the game. He was carried off
the field by players of both teams.
Yesterday was the third time that
the speedy southpaw of the Gun
ners has met with the same acci-
dent and was forced to give way to
another pitcher. On July 4, in the
game against the Omaha Print Ju-
niors, he wrenched his ankle and as
the result the Gunners lost.

HYLAN BUS PLAN
FACES APUNCTURE
Steps May Be Taken to Enjoin
Mayor from Starting Lines
as Heralded.

Reports have been received at the
Public Service Commission that some
steps may be taken to enjoin Mayor
Hylan from starting his bus lines to
take the place of the four electric lines
that are to be suspended by the New
York Railways Company on Saturday.
Deputy Commissioner Barrett said he
did not care to talk about these reports,
but he acknowledged that no applica-
ton had been made to the commission
for permits to operate such bus lines.
He pointed out the law requires fran
chise from the Board Of Estimate and
permits from the commission to operatt
a bus line permanently. 1t was hintel
that perhaps the Mayor had purpoeely
refrained from getting franchise in
order that he might blame the commits
sion in case he was enjoined from con-
tinuing the service.
Job E. Hedges. receiver of the New
York Railways Company. made public
yesterday correspondence that showed
that he had offered to postpone the dis
continuance of the transfers between his
cars and the Staten Island ferries until

of the city authorities. Two days be-

court has authorized the receiver to ter

A delegation complained to the Mayor
yesterday that the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company had discharged $50
women employees, ticket agents and
choppers. on the elevated lines. They
also complain that the company had
failed to pay them for the two days that
the roads were tied up. although they
had reported and remained at their
posts.
The Mayor said II he could not have
them taken back he would try to get
them other employment.
