STIRS HEIGHTS
COURTING WITH CAB HORN
He Explains That He Was Trying to Awaken His Girl
but Everybody in the Block Except Her
Came to Windows

"You said it," agreed Rosalio. there's
nothing TO celebrate. Everybodys home
but my girl. Either that or she's dead.
I've been trying to coax her to the
window and maybe come down for a
ride"
And the horn uttered another series
of blasts-fierce. sharp ones that con-
veyed anger, reproof. chagrin and de-
fiance.
Maybe this will quiet you" said
Patrolman Bigley, rendering Rosalio a
summons.
Rosalio Benserre appeared before
Magistrate Cobb yesterday morning
with the summons in his hand. He ex-
planned all about his girl and that his
idea was that of the serenader and not
the disturbcr.
"I see little IL any difference" re-
piled the Magistrate. You may be ex-
cused for desiring TO bid the lady good
night, but when your courtship inter-
feres with the sleep of the city it is
time to demonstrate. Chauffeurs who
court by automobile horn are costing
my own neighborhood a lot of necessary
sleep.
Its got to stop. One OF these days
when my courts not cluttered up with
defendants. lawyers and newspaper re-
porters I'm going to call upon the Po-
lice Commissioner and ask him to create
special honking squad. the duty OF
which will be to see to IT that you
troubadours are fetched into court"
Then he fined Benserre So.

Take Spare Tire.

Dr. Williams Zucker1nan, 80, q physi-
elan. of 212 East Broadway looked out
of his Office window yesterday after
noon and saw what he thought to be
two boys trying to steal the spare tire
from his automobile. He took, up a
As caliber army pistol from drawer

door. The physician called to the boys,
who seemed to be redoubing their ef-
forts to release the tire, and when they
did not desist he fired.
Samuc. Markham. 10, of 372 Cherry
street fell with wound in the right
side of his head. The bullet after hit
ting him ricochetted across East Broad

the optician shop of Barnet l.. Becker.
The pistol crack and crash Of glass were
almost simultaneous and spread alarm
through the neighborhood, which is one
of the most densely populated of the
East Side. Policeman Shafler arrived
just as the physician reached the side

second boy that had been standing at
the automobile when DR.. Zuckerman
fred, later told the police that he and
Markham had been playing football In
Seward Park. Their ball was not in

over to the physicians car and started
to abstract the air from the spare tire,
a common practice among boys OF the
East Side. he explained. Abe ran az
coon as the shot was fired and did not
know Samuel had been wounded until
told so by the police.
Dr. Zuckerman was taken to the Oak

a charge of felonious assault. Then he
was sent to the District Attorneys OF

Dodgers Take
Third Straight
From the Cubs
Galore Outpitches Cheeves
in Close Game; Schmandt
Not Seriously Injured
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, July 2S.-Three straight
and a cleanup of the series was the
record of the Brooklyn Dodgers to-day
when they took the third and last game
from the Chicago Cubs by 8 to 2. Be-
sides the satisfaction of winning three
straight from the Cubs, the Dodgers
had the satisfaction of knowing that
Ray Schmandt, their crack young first
baseman, was not SO seriously hurt as
had been thought by the pitch from
Wallace Hood. Schmandt, spent the
night in a hospital as a measure Of
precaution, but was at the ball game
to-day viewing the conflict from q
grandstand seat and expects to get into
the series in st. Louis, his home town,
where the Dodgers open tomorrow.
Possibly the Dodgers victory was due
to the eager and sustained roofing Of
800 Brooklyn Elks who reached here
to-day on their way home from the
Los Angeles convention of the order.
Leon Galore was at his best, except
in the fourth inning, when the Cubs
punched three hits and a base on balls
for their two runs. Only seven hits
were made off his right-handed deliv-
cry, and in no other round than the
fourth were two hits punched
Virgil Cheeves, the rookie right
handler who had the distinction of
holding the Giants to four hits and
beating them at the Polo Grounds and
then went across the Bridge and
whipped the Dodgers, pitched rood ball
to-day. He allowed ten hits, three Of
which were punched in the fourth inn
ing for one run, and three in the fifth
for two runs.
In the other innings Cheeves had the
Dodgers guessing and after they got a
lead of one run in the fifth inning the
game was strictly up to Galore, who
delivered the goods in faultless fashion.
Harold Janvrin played first for
Brooklyn to-day in place of the in
sacrifice in the fourth inning cost a
run. Hi Myers opened the fourth
with single to left and took second
on single to center by Bernie Neis.
Janvrin in bunting popped little fly
to catcher Tom DAILY, who threw to
Hollocher, doubling up Myers. Hollo-
cher might have made triple play
and retired Neis by throw to first
but he~made no move to throw to Ray
Grimes and Neis got back to first
Pete Kilduff is Chicago boy, but he
did his home town wrong by lining a
triple over Barber's head that scored
Nels.
Galore fouled out to Daily in the
fifth. Olson beat out a single to
Hollocher, and went all the way
around on Johnstons double past Deal
Griffith scratched a hit to Marriott,
Johnston taking third. Myers's sacri-
fico fly to Barber scored Johnston
Barber then robbed Neis of home run
by fine running catch in center, end
inc the RrookIyn attack
Galore allowed one hit in the first
three innings. In the fourth, with
one out, Marriott singled to right and
Ray Grimes walked. Barber flied to
Myers. Maisel beat out a hit to Olson,
filling the bases. Deal singled to CEN
ter, scoring Marriott and Grimes.
Myers threw to Johnston to cut off
Maisel at third and was too late. John
ston returned the throw to Kilduff
nipping Deal, who tried to make sec
ond, ending the inning.

unfortunately the victory OF the
Yankees did not help them any in
their race with Cleveland for first
place, as the Indians nosed out the
Red Sox. The series between the
New Workers. and Speakers men, which
should certainly be hummer.
The Yankees did practically all of
their making yesterday in the
third inning, when they chased Jinx
Davis out of the lot. Aaron Ward
worried pass out of Dixie as
starter and sped to third on Wallie
Schang's double down the first base
line. Hoyt surprised the sunbeaten
and parched fans by dropping q single
over short, scoring Ward and sending
Schang to third. Fewster popped out
TO Gerber.
Owens TO Yanks' Rescue
With Peckinpaugh at bat the squeeze
MAY was ordered and Roger hunted
down the first base line for what ap
peared to be base hit, Schang tally
ing. Umpire Owens, however. ruled
the bunt a foul, and ordered Peck to
bat again. This so enraged Miller
Midget Higgins that he dashed to the
plate from the coaching box and pro
oeeded to give Owens a dressing out"
The result OF all this was that Hug
was commanded to spend the rest OF
the afternoon on the bench.
Peckinpaugh, on his second attempt,
drew pass, and the bags we're all
clogged as Babe Ruth strolled to the
plate with his ponderous bat. Dixie
Davis trembled, but he put the ball
over and the Babe smashed it to NC
Manus, who got Ruth at first, by the
assistance of Davis, who covered the
bag, but couldn't prevent Schang from
scoring. Hoyt tailed on wild pitch
and Peck went to third. The per-
turbed Davis next muffled the ball as
Severed returned it to him and Peck
shot across the plate. Baker then
sinrled to right and Meusel hit safely
to left, causing the dishing of Dixie
in favor of Koip. Pipp ended matters
with fly to McManus.
The Yankees added another run IN
the f tn on singles by Ward, Schane
Tnd Ruth and still another in the
seventh. but as the Browns were en-.
fjrelv helpless before the curves OF
Tcyt, this additional cxertion OF the
local team was of no intrinsic worth.
II might better have been saved Tor
the series with the Indians.
Ruth Pulls Cobb Stunt
Babe Ruth showed considerable
speed on the paths in the fourth when
he beat his hit to McManus by sliding
into first.
Bob Meusel made a clever play in
the first. Williams singled to right

whipped the bali to Pipp. Williams

so dashed for second only to be cut
Down by Pipp's throw to Peckinpaugh.
Parney McMarus. the hitting demon
IF the day before. didn't do much with
the stick yesterday, but he certainly
folded his position most brilliantly.
His stop of Pipp's grounder which re-
suited in a double play, McManus to
Gerber to McManus, was wonder.
George Slsler, the clever first base
man of the Browns, who has been un-
