b. X. Willow Of Philadelphia, q ten
year scout man. says:
1T has been great pleasure to be
associated In scout work through
these past ten years, Whatever it may
have meant to the boys II has meant
= great deal to me. The seven years
when ! was actively engaged with the
different groups Of boys as scoutmas-
ter have brought great deal Of pleas
ure to me, II every man could come
In contact with boys thus intimately
he would And II helpful In many ways
even though II takes time and means
the sacrifice Of things men hold dear.
"After the experience Of these ten
years In connection with work for
boys ! am convinced that there Ia no
better program for character building
than the scout program and I hope
that may have hand In It for years

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 9.-Babe Adams,
the. old.timer of the Pirates, halted the
mad rush of the Brooklyn Dodgers to-
day, when he was the winning pitcher
in to victory for the league lead
ers. Most of the nine hits off the
veteran in six innings were made with
two out.
Adams also set a seasons record IN
the National League by turning in his
ninth straight victory. The Babe would
have had shut-out if Tierney had not
let Wheat's grounder go through him
in the sixth inning. Jim linn pitched
the last two innings for the Pirates and
allowed only one hit.
Clarence Mitchell was given faultless
support and delivered the goods until
the Pirates slammed him in the sew
enth for three singles and double.
Ruether went to the rescue, and 1t was
hit off him that drove in the winning
runs, which were charged against
Mitchell.
Wheat was safe in the sixth on Tier
ncy's tumble. He scored on Myers's sac
rifice and Schmandt's double. Kilduft
flied to Bigbee, but Kruger singled to
center, scoring Schmandt with the last
Brooklyn run.
Barnhart opened the seventh fol-
! Pittsburgh with single to left. Tier
, rey famed, but Grimnt's single to righ
and Brottem's single to center pushed
Barnhart across. Cutshaw bstted fol-
Adams and doubled over first, scoring
Grimm with the tieing run. Ruethel

with the winning runs.

Mays Has 2 Bad Innings and
Chicago Evens Series With
Hugmen: Falk Stars at Bat
By Charles A. Taylor

The duel of the Ups and Downs which
is being fought by our Yankees at the
Polo Grounds was continued yesterday
and the Downs scored another touch
All of which being translated into
baseball jargon means that the White
Sox captured the fourth game of the
series, thereby making the count in
games won = TO 2. The score of yes
terday's encounter was 5 TO a. The
final contest Of the series will be-
played this afternoon, after which the
Yankees will hit the long trail for
Philadelphia and points in the mid
west
Two bad innings in which Carl Mays
the New York pitcher, was found for
five of the six hits garnered from the
under handed artist brought defeat to
the erratic Huggers. And yet Mays
was not wholly to blame, for q fright
full muff by Aaron Ward with an easy
double play in the oifing was chiefly
responsible for the four runs the
White Sox collected in the second in
ming.
Ward Tries to Make Up
At the bat Ward tried his best to
make up for his delinquency, securing
three singles in four chance with the
willow, but Aarons teammates we're
unable to help him along in the good
work.
The Yankees did all their damage
to the curves of Mr.. wilkinson, the
Sox twrler, in the third inning, when
with the bases full and two out Bob
Meusel drove the ball into the left
field bleachers for a home run.
Falk, the clever youngster who
covers left for the Chicago nine,
started the visitors on the highroad
TO victory by opening the second in
ming with a single to center field;
Shelly popped fly over second. Ward
hesitated for an instant in going after
on the ball dropped it. Had the catch
been made Falk would have been
caught off first easily, as he had taken
a long lead. Mostil was hit by one of
Mays's twisters and the bases were
filed
Lees politely popped to Peckinpaugh,
but Wilkinson bounced q double off
the shns of Wallie Pipp, and Falk and
Shelly scored, Mostil taking third.
johnson hit to McNally, who made a
fine stop, and Mostl was run down by
Schang, Wilkinson going to third on
the play. Johnson stole second and
Mullisnn walked, again filling the
bases. Eddie Collins singled to CEN
ter and Wilkinson and Johnson Tailed.
With one out in the Yankee third
MAYS singled to left. Miller also hit
safely to the samo field. Peckinpaugnl
forced Miller at second. Ruth walked
and all the sacks were inhabited. Meu-
sell then smashed the ball into the
left field seats and the score was tied
Tie Lasts Until Sixth
The tie lasted until the sixth inning
when the Sox with the irrepressibe
Falk again leading the way put Over
the run that won. This time Falk hi
