GENERAL SUPPLY SAYS
RACE END ALL WRONG

General Supply, in the lnterbureau
League, believes that 1t should have
a right to complete It's schedule be-
fore il is announced officially that
A. G.. o. NJ b. is to repre7ent the
circuit in the inter-series title event.
Today Manager J. Fred Huber. OF q.
S. D., made this statement:
"In answer to a recent article ap-
pearing in one of the daily papers
of this city. stating that the A. G. o.
NJ 3. baseball team of the War-1n-
terbureau League, would represent
this league in the intercity series. j
wish to make the following state
menti
whoever was the originator OF the
article was working on assumption
only and not according to results OF
the war League standing.
"The General Supply Depot team
entered this league. paid their money
for a franchise. have lived up to the
rules and regulations, and are hold
ing second place with one game to be
played with the Adjutant Generals
Office NJ. b. team.
This game would, II won by the g.
s. D.. cause a tie between the two
teams for first place. Therefore the
A. G.. o. NJ. b. team is not entitled at
this time to enter this series until
they have settled the issue in their
own league.
"The C. S. d. team stands ready to
play the A. G.. o. NJ. Il. team at any
time with it's regular team. and no all
stars from the league, as has been
practiced by the NJ. b. team, and let
the game decide once and for all who
should represent this league in the
city series.
81 personally called on Mr.. Sam
Blumenthal, secretary-treasurer OF
the War Deague, an employe of the
| adjutant generals office, working In
the main building. and asked him to
arrange the deciding game for today
but he refused point blank to give
any assistance or endeavor to ar

with fine fielding plays, timely hit
ting and feature stun. A Yankee
double play in the fourth, with Pratt
whirling around to peg to Peck, who
whirled around to peg to Pipp, took
the chocolate cake for excellence.
Frank Ellerbe made two brilliant
stops and throws, while Jimmy O'Neill
couple OF w-bounders.
Hank Shanks made a tht Hing stop
OF Bodies single over second base,
getting both hands on the ball, but
too late to make the throw.
Babe Ruth galloped a couple OF
miles twice to haul down nies. ohce
taking Rices sailer, while headed
straight for the barrier.
Del Pratt and Aaron Ward, too, con-
tributed clever stops and throws, with
Wallie Pipp showing clevernoss in
taking wide pegs.

IL was the first victory for the
Grirs in eleven games. and they sure

body seemed satisfied with things

the squawkers, who probably think

had called Pratt out and he was out
and he stayed out, ending the fanks
uprising. Gee, those squawkers
were amusing. Their speeches. con-
sumed much valuable time, stirreo
the wrath OF the perspiring rams ana
made the geptlemanly scorers In the
pest box yawn.
And Pratt stayed out. just as Mory
had said.
PIPP BECOMES PEEvED.
In the Nth inning Mogridge caugh,
Zeb Milan of first base, but the Ten
nesseean managed to slide back
safely, ,eluding the long arm OF Willie
Pipp. Had Hildebrand called Milan
out, the Griffs would have argued for
a palk, but calling Zeb safe enraged
Pipp.
The Yankee first-sacer rushed at
Hildy right peevishly. 1t looked for
a moment as II he would gobble up
the wee official. Then Pratt and
Peck and Ward ard Ruth and Mog-
ridge and Ruel and Huggins joined
in, with Truck Hannah earning his
salary by helping. Just why Duffy
Lewis and Ping Bodie didn't get into
the fuss will never be explained, but
they didn't.
And Zeb remained safe. just as
Hildy had said.
1t sure was one sizzling afternoon.
between mouth battles of the Yanks
and the efforts of the Griffts to upset
the pennant-contenders. 1t was only
after real struggle that the Grins
did win before a fine crowd of enthu-
siastic fans.

\Shanks' walk. Ellerbe's sacrifice,
O'Neilrs out and Gharrity's single 10
CENTER gave the Griffs one run in the
second. but they grabbed three with
one. wallop in the third. Mogridge
lost control and filled the base with
one out with passes to Judge, Milan
and Brewer.
Up came Hank Shanks. the silver
toned tenor from Monaco. Pa. Hank
took a swing and away went the
agate toward the jury box, with
Lewis and Bodie moving their sturdy
legs like piston rods in wild chase
after it. Hank slid safely into third
base on that wallop and three more
runs were over for the home boys.
Two more were chalked up IN the
fifth. Milan opened with single ana
raced around on Rice's triple to the
wall behind Babe Ruth. Brewer
stopped a pitchd ball with his shoul-
der and Huggins derricked the steam
ing Mogridge, sending in Ernie Shore.
Sbanks crashed one back at the boS
and Rice tailed when Shorts peg got
away from Ruel. ,,.
Ole Erickson had pitched stellar
ball for FIVE frames, but the eNertion

took four hits to bring them over.
Peck opened with single Just ou,

Erickson was still staggering In
the seventh and opened with pass
to shore. Ward singled, but E1lerbe
tossed out Peck after a fine one-hano-

bases, so that Erick seized Pratts

plate. Lewis singled to right, pring'

Ing thousands of fans out or a chance

York newspapers have grown quite
mad over thiss subject Really, they
take IL seriously.
The two Rupert and
Huston-ere quoted as saying they
will have a most drastic rule passed
next winter. thus assuring the rams
of seeing Babe Ruth hit a homer
every time up. Really IT'S quite
amusing.
ARGUMENTS DON'T COUNT.
All arguments to the effect that
purposely passing Ruth may be gooo
strategy on the part OF the enemy
don't count. The very idea OF not
allowing Ruth to slam home run
whenever he happens to think about
IT. savors of high treason.
YESTERDAY with two on and two
out. acting under the orders of Miller
Huggins, Ernie Shore purposely
passed Sam Rice. preferring to take
chances with Frank Brewer. He
fnnned the Reading Rose" which
was fair enough. That was good
strategy. even though the fans did
boo him nit. But nobody around
here will seek to have new rules
passed next winter to allow Sam Rice
TO hit in a pinch
Adding to the strength of the com-
parison, not once did Babe Ruth re-
ccive an intentional walk in the two
games played here. True, Ole Erick
son did pass him in the seventh. but
Ole was suffering from the hot sun.
not from any particular fear of
Puth. The Washington pitchers sure
did pitch 70 Ruth all the wav.

gagged in several wordy tits with
George Moriarty. Wallie Pipp. Der
riH Pratt and Aaron Ward roared
into George Hildebrand's shell-like
ears more than once. but the real
mfx-up came in the seventh. That
was the prize squawk of all the long,

The Griffs were leading to when
the Yanks started to belabor Erick-
son in the first half of the seventh.
Duffy Lewis, with a ringing single to
right, drove Ward and Ruth over,
making the score 6 to 4 and leaving
two out and two on to confront Jeze-
bel Tecynseh Zachary, who went to
the relief of Ole.

Big Zachary started in just as
Pfatt on third. and Lewis, on first
began to- work a double steal. In
stsad of pitching, Zach ran off the
rubber, feinted a peg to second,
turned and began chasing Pratt home

THE GAM r.


Tad wound up his watch and
hooked fast one between the
batter and the nearest Carnegie
library. The next one was a perfect
strike that knocked a crow off
straw dummy in the next county.
With the count six and seven Tad
snapped over another perfect strike
that busted all the laces in the
third baseman's brogans. That was
the account of the game.
Tad threw 'em and the third base
man stopped 'em. He had a good
pair of fielding shoes. The third
baseman's tapping was the feature
of the Cartooners' wood swinging.
Out of two times at bat he got four
home runs, seven singles, eight

THE PROLOGUE.
Playing in rough. manly
fashion the Cartooners' baseball
team surrounded the Actors on Sat-
urday; score, some to none. The
Cartooners had been in a slump
since the VoJstead Act. but rallied
behind the melancholy pitching of
Tad and stung the spotlight ath-
letes for a row of totem poles.
The paper doll tableaux was put
on at Bay Rum, Long Island.
which was once the address that
Tad gave to the Merrick Road
speed spiders. The motorcycle
cadets now send Tad's summonses
to Great Neck, but once man
has lived in Bay Rum he never for
gets 1t.
The Actors cast was probably the
only road show that ever played
without a Juvenile. Tyler Brook,
Jay Gould, Bill Halligan. Jim Cor
bctt and other juveniles were all
set to break out in boots and wild
throws, but were farmed out to the
Pantages Circuit for more season
ing. Savoy and Brennan were
carded to pitch for the Actors. but
had to play a matinee. These boys
are always busy during the rag
end of the season.
Tad and the Cartooners' third
baseman did all the work for the
winners. The game had only passe
the three-inning buoy when 1t was
jammed on an jumps curly decision.
Both teams were becalmed in a
heavy squall.
Alice -in-wonder what it's all :
about-land would have felt at home
trying to figure out the jig-saw
playing. The boys played according
to Sam Lloyd. A strike out was al
ways good for a base on. balls. All
the good playing was established
by Tad and the victors' third base
man, who stopped 'em with his feet
so he would have both hands free
for throwing.
