SECOND EASTMAN CRIMES PUTS ON GIANT UNIFORM Ushered In To New York High in Estimation of Me- Graw by Work Yes
 tefday.
 DEPARTS HAPPY Pitcher Adams of Hartford Ordered Out of Baseball For Remainder of His
 Life.
DEPARTS HAPPY

Roy Grimes, star second baseman of the Eastern League, donned a. New York Giant uniform this after noon at the Polo Grounds and was prepared to do anything Johnny McGraw called upon him to do. Grimes sang his ''swan song" to East ern League baseball yesterday after noon at Newfield park where he had a perfect day both at bat and in the field. His feature work of the day was turned in when Bridgeport was at bat in the eighth inning when he pasted the ball high over Centerheld- CT Hargraves' head for a home run and there were three on bases at the time.
 It was the climax of a perfect af- ternoon and ushered him into New York today high in the estimation of his new employer. Grimes ob- tained four hits out of four times uTs. scored three runs and pilfered two bases. That was all on the offense. He was just as strong on the defense. At second base he had two put outs and five assists. One of these he jugg1ed for an instant, but was able to get the runner at first in the sew enth inning.
 From Hartford comes the informa- ton that Pitcher Adams has been or dered out of the game~for the rest of his life by Hartford physician. Just as soon as he was told to quit, Adams left the Hartford club and started for his home to go to bed for a couple of weeks. Adams went to Hartford from Connie Mack's Ath- letics at the beginning of last sea son and pitched good ball for the Hartford outfit.

DISQUALIFICATION
 AT EMPIRE TRACK

The first disqualification in several weeks came at the Empire City track yesterday afternoon when the second end of the purse in the fifth race was taken away from Samuel Riddles three-year-o1d gelding Dinna Care. The action by the stewards was not popular and it is a question if it were just. There is no doubt but that Dinna Care swerved in the home stretch, and there is little doubt but that he interfered with Alphee. But he didn't impede the speed of any other contestant and, as Alphee won, a majority of the racegoers were of the opinion that the order of the finish should not have been changed.

even though the prices are higher than ever. The fans want to. see the games even though. it does cost a little more.
 The Giants started home stay to- day and they probably called for Grimes so he would draw the attend ance from Bridgeport that Babe Ruth did. 5
 Some critics say the American ath- 1etes are fit for the struggle at Ant werp and others say they are not. The only way to do is to wait till the whole thing is over and we'll know better. &
 When Harry Wills boxed in this city he/ wasn't much of. 8, drawing card, but now that he laid Fulton away he would probably be bigger and better drawing card. z
 Do you remember Tom Longboat, the Six Nations Indian and famous Canadian marathoners who used to lead the best of them home in the long distance runs not so long ago?f We'll; Tom has settled down to the life of a farmer. Tom, who is only g. years old, served with the Canadian troops in the big war, and his fighting record was as splendid and as, honorable as his athletic career-and tnaI tS saying a lot, believe me. He is a splendid example of the ideal type of athlete. I wonder what Kid Gleason, man ager of the ambitious White Sox, felt like when his contemporary pennant chasers,1 the New York Tanks, slammed three of his pet pitchers for three home runs, two triples. six two- baggers>and ten every day singles, all l in one game? This happened a little over a week ago, and the Kid still gets | red around the ears every time he . thinks about 1t. eSskss+ }

 Amid a deafening chorus from river craft which chugged carefully about the vicinity as she started on her memorable journey, the transport Princess Matoika, conveying the va1- uable cargo of athletic lights, slipped lazily from her berth at Pier 1, Ho- boken, at 10 minutes past 4 o'c1ocks yesterday afternoon, and steamed out into the stream on the trip which is expected to end in another inter national athletic triumph for Uncle Sam.

CRIMES HIT FEATURES.
 Roy Grimes home run with the bases filled in the eighth inning yes terday' proved to be the brightest spot in the ball game between Bridgeport and Waterbury yesterday afternoon when the Washers won, 2 to l, in one-sided ball game. Stauffer pitched for the home team and had things all his own way, but Meyerjack, who oc- cupied the mound for Waterbury, was given a pounding and Is hits ewre culled from his delivery. The Water bury team played like second raters anyway.
 Umpire Kuhn got another put out yesterday, making a perfect record for him while he was in this city, as Flynn was elected from the field Sun day, and Ray Grimes was thrown out of the game. Yesterday one of the Waterbury pitchers, coaching On third base, grabbed about a called strike and Kuhn objected to his criti- cism., The player was ordered off the base lines, but when he kept up jaw ing the "ump'' then Kuhn told him to get out of the lot.
 That little incident furnished a bit of the unusual as the Americans were plodding their way toward the vic tory which came rather easy to them. The score:
