TACK WHEAT'S CLOUT
 STARTS BIG RALLY
Dodgers AmasS Trio Of TalHeS in
 Eighth Inning and Win

Brooklyn. May 27.-One of those Brooklyn uprisings which have be- come so customary won another ball game for the Dodgers yesterday at Ebbets field. The downcast Cardinals were the victims. The Dodgers chose the eighth inning, when the teams were deadlocked. 2 to 2, as the zero hour They went over the top to the extent of a home run by zack Wheat, a double by Konetchy and two singles by Schmandt and Mack Wheat. These pushed three runs across the platter and changed the score to read Brooklyn 5, St. Louis ?.
 The teams gave a wild and woody exhibition of the national frolic. Tn the grandstand the Police Glee club, in aid of the Salvation Army, saSg everything from the Soldiers Song from Faust to the latest popular dit ties. Out on the diamond the players furnished everything from crisp, snap py baseball to the bushiest variety.
 The peculiar part of it was that Lee Meadows, the only bespectacled pitch CT in captivity, twirled some mighty good baseball despite the 13 bingles chalked up for Brooklyn. Lee did some great pitching in the pinches but had break after break go against him. He was handicapped by bonehead playing by his mates and suffered from 8 pair of apparent nesrsighted decisions by MT. Moran, the umpire on bases. The score:
 F. h. 6. Brooklyn ....... .00010013x-5 13 8 St. Louis ........ .0Ooo00200--2 6 2

Giants Beat Pirates,

New York, May 27.--Generosity is q noble virtue, but in the opinion Of Hugo Bezdek, the chubby leader of the Pittsburgh team, it should not be cultivated by pitchers, particularly Pirate pitchers. The philosophy of the Pirate is to give nothing and take everything. -~...' At any rate, if Pirate pitchers must be generous and hand out passes let them scatter them,' lectured Hugo to his pitching flock at the end of yes- terdays tiff on the Polo grounds, which the Giants won from Pittsburgh by score of to 2. ..>-. Wilbur Cooper, Pirate southpaw, with more or less of a reputation as a Giant tanner, bestowed three bases on balls on Che Harlem athletes yester- day. This is no unusual liberality, but where Wilbur aroused the ire of brother Bezdek was to present them to the Giants all in one bundle in the third inning. The score:

There was some pro- test at the finish, the Grays having two men on the sacks and two down when a halt was made. It was claimed that the Ponies had enough stalls to start 8 livery stable. but the dilatory tactics went over McGuiness' head.

sport with rules almost as conven-
tional as those Of tennis, while Jiu
iitsI is really mean for practice in
killing or disabling adversary. In
consequence, Grant did not know what
to do except to put Yamashita on his
back, and Yamashita was perfectly
content TO be on his back. Inside Of
a minute Yamashita had choked
Grant. and inside of two minutes more
he got an elbow hold on him that
would have enabled him to break his
arm; so hat there is nc question but
that he could have put Grant out. SO
far this made 1t evident that the jiu
jitsu man could handle the ordinary
wrestler. But Grant, in the actual
wrestling and throwing was about as
good as the Japanese, and he was so
much stronger that he evidently hurt
and wore out the Japanese. With q
little practice in the art 1 am sure that
one OF our big wrestlers or boxers,
simply because of his greatly superior
strength, would be able to kill any of
those Japanese, who though very good
men for their inches and pounds are
altogether too small to hold their own
against big, powerful quick men who
are well trained.

DEAR KERMIT:
Poor John Hay has been pretty
sick. He is going away to try to pick
up his health by a sea voyage and
rest. I earnestly hope no succeeds,
not only because of my great personal
fondness for him, but because from
the standpoint of the nation it would
be very difficult to replace him. Ev-
cry Sunday on my way home from
church / have been accustomed to
stop in and see him The conversa-
ton with him was always delightful,
and during these Sunday morning
talks We often decided important
questions Of public policy.
l paid a scuttling visit to New
York OF Friday to give away Eleanor
at her marriage, and to make two
speeches-one to the Friendly Sons of
st Patrick and one to the Sons OF
the American Revolution.
Mother and 1 nave been riding a
good deal, and the country is now
lovely. Moreover, Ted and Matt and
I have begun playing tennis.
The birds nave come back. Not
only song-sparrows and robins but a
winter wren, purple finches and tufted
titmice are singing in the garden;
and the other morning early Mother
and 1 were walked up by the loud
singing of a cardinal bird in the mag
nolia tree just outside our windows.
Yesterday afternoon Archie and
Quentin each had a little boy to see
him. They climbed trees, sailed
boats in the fountain and dug in the
sand-box like w~oodcocks.
