TWO PLAYERS DESERT MACK.
Infclders Dugan and Dowd Take
 French Leave of Athletics.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2.-With two players gone by desertion and three on the sick list, the Athletics plight at present rivals Belgium's at the height of the Hun invasion. Infield- CTS Joe Dugan and Dowd have jumped the club, while George Burns, Fred Thomas, and Scott Perry are under the care of physicians suffering with colds and stomach trouble.
 The desertion of Dugan caused a big surprise, but the loss of Dowd is slight. Dugan, who had been out of the game for several days with sore thumb came from his home in New Haven, Thursday, and played one game with the Mackmen. Fol- lowing that game he claimed that his sore thumb interferred with his grasp on the bat and that he also was sick. Without saying anything to any one of the team, he took French leave for his home in New Haven and that has been the last heard of him.
 This is the second flop Dugan has taken. Two years ago he jumped the team when the fans started to hoot him when he erred in the field. Du- gan will probably be severely pun ished by Mack for this second iumD over the ropes. DoWd deserted or ganized baseball for a berth with an independent team at Springfield. Mass.

FOOTBALL AT TWO BITS.
Yale Management Will Adopt This
 Admission Price Next Fall.

New Haven, Aug. 2.-Football at two bits smash. That's the price of admission which Yale will probably adopt for it's preliminary contests on . the Alexander Wilson gridiron in the 2owl next fall. Q This charge, togeth-
 with the elimination of the gov Tnna ent tax, vii be within the reach <bR all and is expected to prove the <stinnulus for a revival of Interest in Avhe sport here.
 The idea of reducing the price of : admission originated with several of the undergraduate sport leaders who plan to bring the matter before the athletic association as soon as the university reopens in the fall It will then have to be adopted by the board of control. Football, at this price, it Is argued, will derive a larger reve- nue than the charge in vogue three years ago.
 Dr. Al Sharpe, newly appointed athletic director, is expected to ar rive here about September l. He is now summering at Lake Chautauqua, Pa, but manages to keep in touch with the football situation here. He expects to greet squad of 125 cand- dates at the opening practice, sched- uled for September IS.
 James M. Braden, ex-captain of the track team and president of the "Y club, announced last night that $5, 900 has already been raised by popular subscription to be spent in altering the new club in High street. It is planned to have the training table. 1ounging and reading rooms installed by the time the football players re- port.
 Edward Moriarty, Broadway's most prominent citizen, is expected to re- ceive the appointment of manager and steward of the "Y' club. MT. Moriarty is well qualified for this posi- ton and is also held in high esteem by Yale men.

YANKEES SOLVE
 |BOLAND'S OFFERINGS
Mogrldge Is Again Victor Over
 BerDie-CIub Moves Up

New York, Aug. 2.-Miller Huggins, mite Yankee manager, has discovered the com blnation to beat Bernie Be- iand, formerly the most persistent JlnX that ever pursued a New York team. Miller solved the trick by pitching Mogridge against little Ber- hard. Long Geoerge cant beat any body else, but he surely can take the hCodoo off Boland
 Higgins learned the trick on that last disastrous western trip of the Tanks. The Tigers had rolled back the Tanks in four straight games, and Jennings sent in Roland to grab off the fifth game and clean up the ser ies. Being pretty we'll out of pitchers, Huggins called on Mogridge to oppose him, and George hadn't won a game up to that time. The game lasted only six innings, and Mogridge copped it by a score of 2 to 0.
 Yesterday Huggins figured what can be done once can be done again. So again Mogridge got the call to oppose Roland and again it worked. George had about six horseshoes hidden around him on the Polo grounds yes- terday. He nosed out the Tigers with Roland pitching, by a score of 5 to 4.
 Still Roland is considerably ahead of the game. Since he broke into the league in 1915, he has defeat ed the Yankees 15 times. Yesterday was New York's fourth victory over Roland. The score:
 r. h. e. Detroit .1OOo2oO1O-4 9 1 New York ..... .03010O01x-5 1
 Roland and Ainsmith; Mogridge and Ruel.

GIANTS ARE DOWNED;
 LOSE LEAGUE LEAD
Reds Bunch Hits On TOney, Send-
 ing Him to Showers

Cincinnati, Aug. 2.-In the pres ence of 17,00O wild eyed fans and playing under leaden skies which dis gorged fitful rainfalls the Giants were humbled by the Reds yesterday by score of to ?. The defeat enabled the Reds to dislodge the Giants from first place in the league race, and Cincinnati was baseball mad last night.
 Fred Toney, who opened for the Giants, failed to survive and retired at the end of the fifth inning. He was succeeded by Jean Dubuc, who lasted only one inning, Joe Oeschger- finishing the game. Jimmy Ring started against the Giants and pitched shutout ball for five innings. Like Toney, the Brooklyn boy failed to stock and gave way to Hod Eller after he had filled the bases on passes with none out in the sixth. Showers in the fourth and fifth made the ball wet and slippery and Ring could not control it in the sixth.
 The Reds furnished Ring and Eller with a stonewall, support. The bat ting and fielding of Wingo featured the game. Roush drove in two runst' in the fourth. Wingo launched a rally in the fifth and Rings sac
 rifice, Rath's single, Young's error and Daubert's timely thump ac- counted fox two more runs. After Ring had walked Frisch, Burns and Young in the sixth, Eller came to thea rescue. Fletchers single scored Frisch and, when Doyle smashed into a double play, Burns registered. Wingo tripled in two more Cincin- natl runs in the second half of the sixth. .F The fans tirade had it's beginning when the Giants took the field for | batting practice. They were loudly branded as yellow" hounds"
 "boneheads' and worse. Toney waA alluded to as a "slacker" and 3
 ''jailbird." sA
 The tension among the rival players 1 also was strong, and in the second i inning Kauff called out at second base on an attempted steal, became engaged in a heated debate with
 Rath, Kopf and Groh. It threatenef
 to lead up to a passage at arms. IH 1 the fourth inning Umpire Klen
 threatened to clear the Reds dugoukg
 if the players did not discontinue the 1 taunting of the Giants.

Brooklyn found his spit ters just as baffling as of yore here yesterday and had to be content with the short end of g to ? score. While Hendrix was limiting the Dodgers -to five hits, three of which came in the ninth, the Cubs, led by Lee Magee, the erstwhile Dodger, were failing Grimes unmercifully. Burleigh was wild and ineffective and was handi- capped by a shaky support. 1

 Tt IS referred to as a parlia- ment of man and confederation of the world," he continued, which as 1 under stand 1t, is a sort of international mutual ad- miration society with the Ser mon on the Mount for constitu- tion and the apostolic creed for a guide. In that seraphic congre- gation all men are to be good and all women fair, all thoughts holy, all songs inspired and gentle love with golden sceptre is to rule the human heart. The chief trouble with the vision is that it can only be realized in heaven"
