EVEN FOR YEAR
Grif's Men Only Team in
League New Workers
Couldn't t Best In Series.

The sporting writers in New York
last week were in high glee over
the fact that while Cleveland and
throats, they would have easy pick
ing when they opened against the
Washington team for four games.
Then along came Washington to
the village across from Brooklyn and
not only helped themselves to two
of the four games, but the two vic
tories put the kibosh on the Yanks,
so that even if they win the. next
three games scheduled with the
Athletics, they will not be able to
win out unless both Cleveland and
Chicago fall dead. But what must
hurt the New York writers more
than anything else is the fact that
Washington was the only team the
Yanks did not beat in the series in
the season.
AS New York had captured the
following: Athletics l6, Detroit Is.
Cleveland 13, Boston 13. and Chicago
12. il was going to be an easy mat
ter to capture the extra games from
the Washinstons that were left to
play. But when the final standing
is sent out the fans will behold that
Washington is just as good as they
were. for the two teams split So
so on the % games played. and each
team made the same record on their
own grounds. Each won seven out
of eleven when playing at home.

feature some especially attractive .

quality and relative merits Of the
smart 2-year-ol1s as they generally
are about the middle of June. The

LOSERAG NOW
Victory Over Giants Means
That Tie Is Worst Fate
Could Bring Them.

New York, Sept. 26.--In a stub
bornly contested game with the
New York Giants at Ebbets Field
this afternoon the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers practically clinched the National
League pennant by winning to 2.
Provided the Giants win all their
remaining games and the Brooklyns
lose their four games next week the
worse that Robbie's men can do is
to tie for the lead.
Rube Marquard, famous twirler or
the New York champions of 1911,
1912 and 1918 is doing a little gloat-
ing of his own tonight, being the
main cause of settling the hash OF
the team that a couple of years ago
thought he had seen his day ana
cast him off. Only two runs were
scored off him and he held the Gil
ants to five hits. Both runs were
scored by Burns, the Giant outfelder
who on each occasion reached base
on an error.
Fred Toney, who McGraw selected
to oppose the "Rube" was hit so
hard in the first two innings that
'Shufiing" Phil Douglas was sent in
to replace him. Phil held the Dodg-
ers hitless for five innings. but with
two out and three passed men on
base the much abused Ivy Olson hit
low liner to right. Young almost
made spectacular shoe-strins
catch. He caught the ball but lost
it s'he rolled over on the ground
and two men scored with the runs
that beat New York and shattered
their chances for the pennant.

new athletic club, to be known
as the Washington Athletic Club,

secured headquarters in the Mum
sey Building. The club is endeavor-
ing to have a bill passed legalizing
boxing in the District under strict
supervision, and hopes to be able

men and others who are interested
in securing the passage of the bill
to legalize boxing under a commits
sion similar to laws now in effect
in Wisconsin, Michigan. New York.
Massachusetts, and in other cities.
This bill would provide for a per-
centage of the receipts to be paid
to the District, and should be a
great revenue producer.
The new club has arranged.
through Maj. Monchan. to stage
high Clas boxing shows at Walter
Reed Hospital for the benefit of the
patients. Some of the best bows in
the country will be brought here
Tor these shows and local boys will

FINESCALPERS
In NBROOKLYN
Charley Ebbets Threatens
To Lick Whole Bunch,
Despite His 90 Years.

Brooklyn, y. Y, Sept. 25.-Despite
Charley Ebbets' threat to lick every
ticket speculator personally there
were hundreds of them cleaning up
big money at the Giants-Dodgers
game today. Seven spectators had
been arrested Saturday and when
arraigned in Flatbush Police Court
this morning Ebbets appeared as
complainant.
You're a bunch of loafers and
even if ! am 60 years old I'll lick
you myself. If you persist in holding
up people at my park" shouted Eb-
bets right out in court. The crowd
surged forward to see Ebbets do
McGraw handshake and it took
eleven detectives to restore order.
Stands for "Common People,
1T is time this ticket speculating
was stopped" so Mr.. Ebbets in
formed Magistrate McCloskey, ex-
planning that he was in court rather
in the interests of the down-trodden
citizens of Brooklyn than as a base
ball magnate. The court evidently
was sympathetic for the defamation
went on:
We have done everything in our
power to prevent it but find it i'm
possible. We cannot tell whether a
man is speculator or not. If we
are fortunate enough to get into the
world series this year. we are going
to receive further annoyance and the
common people will be robbed by
these loafers. l am going to the
district attorney about the matter
and if the Brooklyn courts will lend
their aid l am sure we can stop the
practice"

Nick Put Out of Game.
Before the game, the Senator
coach marched around with the
band and after the Yankees had
practically won the game, Nick tried
his best to get the umpire's goat
and succeeded so well that he was
put out of the game in the eighth
inning.
Outside of Altrock. the only other
interesting features of the game
were two home runs by Aaron Ward.
the New York third baseman. Ward
seems to be out after the Babes rec
ord and as he hit one home run on
Saturday. he now has made three
circuit Clouts IN two days. Bambino,
by the way, had to be content with
a double.
Zachary and Quinn were the op-
posing pitchers at the start of the
game and Quinn had the Senators
well tanned. He allowed twelve scat
tered hits and would have let down
the Griffmen with two runs but he
eased up in the final stanza and
Washington managed to bring its
total up to FIVE.
Yanks Draw First Blood.
New York drew first blood in the
very first inning. Ward singled to
right and Pipp advanced him to sec
ond with a one -baser to left. Both
runners advanced a peg on Ruth 5
infeld out. Pratt then lifted a fly
to Johnson and Zachary gave one
OF the weirdest displays of bone
headedness seen here lately For
no apparent reason he attempted to
intercept the throw and muffed il,
both Ward and Pipp scoring.
The Senators tied it up in the
fourth. Rice singled through the box
as an opener, then Shanks brought
him home with a home run to right
field Wick could have held the hit
To a single, or at most a double. but
he tried to trap the ball and it elud-
ed his grasp. rolling by for an Off
ciai base blow.
The Yankees went into the lead
in the next round and were never
headed. With one out. Hannah sin
gled to center and Quinn sacrificed
Ward then hit first home run of
the day. sending Hannah across be-
fore him. Pipp singled to center
and Ruth walked. but Pratt ended
the inning by flying to Shanks.
Came Won in Sixth.
The Yankees won the game be-
YONG a doubt in the sixth inning

runs. Hannah scored Lewis with
a single. and Ward brought in the
three other runs with his second
home run of the day
