centerfeld for the War Riskers, IS
notable one. "SchnitZ'r Snyder. left

Catholic University star, is playing
third base. Second base is ably TAX

when Kenneth Williams, the st.
Louis center fielder. made his daring
attempt to snare Rice's liner in the
ninth. he failed and Sam got a triple.
Yes. 1t was luck. but that has to be
considered in baseball.
At the bat Il was Murphy again
who delivered the needed safety, not
much OF one, 10 be sure, but most
necessary, right when il counted for
most, while williams and Earl Smith
fell down. With one gone in the sew
enth. Jacobson bounced a bingle over
Fosters head and went to third on
Sisters double to right. Then Will
Jams popped to Menosky and Rice
went over toward the scoreboard
and pulled down Smiths long ny. No
runs came over.
"spuds Turns Trick.
The way luck sometimes interferes
in we'll meant plans was shown at the
ball yard yesterday when the Griffs
squeezed a victory in the ninth in
ming, to 0. ''Spud" Murphy brought
in the lone run OF the afternoon by a
swinging bunt that rolled hardly
more than ten feet from the plate.
Under ordinary conditions-for in
stance. had Ride been on second base
instead OF third-Hank SEVERED
would have been on that bouncing
ball like a hawk. easily getting the
runner at first. But because Rice
was on third. and on his way TO the
plate, Davenport had to come in. He
made a poor job Of it, and Rice was
over with the run that brought vic
tory to the Griffs. their fourth OF the
season over the Brownies.
Seldom has a better pitching duel
been seen here than that between j.
Grunting Shaw and Dave Davenport
The Brownies could do little or moth
ing with Shaw. In the seventh Jacob
son bounced a safety over Fosters
head, the midget just managing to
knock it down by a superhuman leap
into the air. Sisler followed with an
honest-to-goodness double down the
first base line. Then, with two runs
waiting. Shaw put on steam, forced
williams to pop to Menosky and
Smith to drive long fly to Rice.
GriYs' One Chance.
Though the Griffmen had two rum
ners on in the third and Judge
down, they really had no chance to
score until the ninth. With one down
Sam Rice drove a low liner to center

played il safe. letting it go for a sin
gle. but he preferred to take a chance.
He tried for a circus catch and failed,
the ball rolling out into center field
and Rice rolling around to third base.
'Spud" Murphy. with a penchant for
hitting in the pinches, heard the fans
roaring for a bingle as he trotted to
the plate and the Browns infield came
in. Davenport put on all his stuff, but
"Spud" kept fouling them of. sending
several high ones back over the stand.
Then "Spud" did it, topping the ball
and sending il dancing out in front
of the plate. With Rice coming in.
SEVERED could not go out after the
ball. Davenport failed to handle the
hopper. AID Rice was across. Wow!
that was close finish. but that's how
il happened.

Then the Chicago leader offered $40. 900

Mays Should Help.
Mays should help the Yankees great
ly in their drive for the 1919 pennant.
He has not been so effective this year
as in the past, but he has been the
center Of contention in Boston. He
quit the club saying that he couldn't
win any games with that club behind
him." He was about right, too. He
has only I'VE victories out Of sixteen
games this year to show for his $4,000
salary which he squeezed out Of
Frazee last spring.
Mays was with Providence in the
old Eastern League in 1914, going
thence to Boston. In 1905 he won
seventeen and lost thirteen games.
The next year he won twenty-five and
lost nine, this being his best season
in the big league. In 1918 he won
twenty-one and lost thirteen and this
year only FIVE out of sixteen games
have been wins for him. His particu-
lar value is his underhanded delivery
the only one in the league. and his
great strength. He is a horse for
work.
Mays is not worth the S25, 900 and
three players given for him. The
Yankees only hope of getting back
their money is by winning the 1919
penant. If they are successful, the
money will roll in at the gate and
Mays will pay for himself. If they
fail it will simply be one more proof
that Colonies Rupert and Huston
will do anything to give New York a
pennant. 1t is this willingness that
makes the two colonies popular with
New York fans.
