Warren G. Cloyd Will Be Out
There To-day With a
Straw Hat.
by EDWARD ANTHONY.

The most important announcement
OF the big series was made in the left
field bleachers yesterday afternoon at
I:12, or forty eight minutes before the
game was called on account Of rain.
We give the exact time so that future
chroniclers may incorporate the hap
pening in their works with the accu-
racy that should characterize the re-
counting Of so epoch-making an event.
The momentous piece of information
was impaired by Warren C.. Cloyd Of
Brooklyn, the latest cheer leader of
the Yankee bleacherites. CIoyd, If he
carries out the programme that he
has set for himself, will so down in
history as one Of the bravest men that
ever lived. He plans no less feat
than this--to lead the Yankee cheer
ing in the left field bIeachers this
afternoon with straw hat, on his
head f-
Maybe You do not realize what serious
business thii IS. TO US, at least, 1t Is
startling information. Not even an an
nouncement that some one intended to
attempt flight across the Atlantic In
a toy balloon could have so shaken us
out of our usual bovine complacency. If
we hadn't heard Cloyd's words with our
own ears-or what Is left of them after
the riotous roofing of the last few
days--we should be hesitant to believe
that there is any one on earth brave
enough to do what he plans to pull off
this afternoon.
Better Huy Clutches.
Even so, we are slow to believe. We
have seen men limp home on crutches to
agonized families for the crime OF APP
pearing straw hated in public three or
four days after straw. hat interment
day--September Is. For wearing em
ten days after that date we have seen
offenders decapitated and thrown to the
man eating reindeers in Bronx Park.
What, then. will HAPPEN to Cloyd, the
Yankee cheer leader, when he appears
this afternoon before thousands of
bowling bleacherites with his last sum-
mer's katy" on his head? What is the
penalty for wearing a straw lid that
should have been buried twenty-five
days ago? What will the Giant fans do
about it? How many casualties will
there be? Who will identify the dead?
And who will bury 'em?
Are you sure you're going through
with it?' we asked Cloyd anxiously
He is perpetually chuckling person
of about 35, with pinkish red hair that
re sembles Alaska salmon, and we like
to look at him-alive.
"Certainly!' responded the Yankee
cheer leader In tone that sounded re-
markably cheerful for a man who is
about to die. I'm going to wear that
straw bonnet Sunday II it's my last act
on earth"
"But," we persisted, "have you q right
to. talk that way? Are thers no de-
pendents?'
i am determined man. I am goin,,
through with my programme. If the

second Miss Stirling sliced to the
rough and then flubbed her third.
Miss Hollins was on in three and down
in two puts for five. The hole
should have been halved, but Miss
Stirling missed putt of less than n
yard. This left Miss Hollins UP at
the turn.
No. 10-Miss Stirling pulled to the
rough, played a fine iron low between
two trees, got well down with her
brascie and laid her fourth on nicely.
From the drive Miss Hollins was In a
trap. Her fourth fell to the right side
of the green. her fifth failed to climb
the bank and with her sixth the Long
Island girl was over the green. Miss
Hollins pitched her seventh back. but
being clearly outplayed she gave up
after Miss Stirling had putted once.
No. 11--Miss Stirling sliced her drive
and was short of the bunker with her
second. Her third was over but short
of the green. Miss Hollins began by
pulling to the rough. but played a mag
nificent shot around the corner of the
woods and reached the green. She took
three puts. but even with this she won
the hole.
No. 12--Miss Stirling pulled into the
rough. was out short and short of the
green and dangerously near a trap with
her third On the other hand, Miss Hoi-
Inns was we'll down In two and easily
on In three. Two puts for each gave
the hole to Miss Hollins In 8 to 6, leav-
ing the latter 8 UP with to play.
No. 13--Miss Stirling had the longer
ball. With her approach the champion
was on nicely. whereas Miss Hollins
over approached Into the ditch and had
to lift and drop. PLAYING four she
pitched back into trap and was on In
five. Miss Stirling overran her putt
slightly but still had two for the whole
when Miss Hollins missed her putt.
, No 14--Mlss Hollins pulled to the
rough and was out driven. Miss Stirling
being down the centre of the course.
With her second Miss Stirling was over
the green and Miss Holllns TO the right.
Miss Stirling pitched back while Miss
Iolllns used putter to run up. The

THIS is the eighth of a series OF articles
acritte., egclusivelD for THE New YORK
HERALD by Miss Cecil Leitch, the
great British golfer.
~ ny CECIL LEITCH.
S It is surprising to US Britishers that
American and Canadian children do
not seem to be, keen on the game which
is ever increasing in popularity. I
cannot remember ever having seen a
photograph nor ever having heard Of
n child golfer on this side" While
appreciating the facts that team
games are to be encouraged, and that
cricket and football are more suitable
sports for boys to follow. there are
many who consider II advisable for
young sportsmen to learn to play indi-
vidual games.
A young player whom we met re-
Gently impressed us very much by re-
marking that when she first started to
play golf, as the pupil Of her father.
the first thing he impressed upon her
was that she must learn to take de-
feat with good grace. 1t is simple
matter to be a graceful loser when
one of a team. but not nearly so easy
to take individual losses cheerfully.
Golf is game which shows up a play
er's character more than any other.
and for this reason alone every child
should be encouraged to play. There
is no reason why golf should interfere
with the playing Of other games, as
ct ,N1f &c,
quite sufficient to train child in the
way he or she should CO."
fully realize that the short golflng
season on this side" affords less OPP
portunity to juvenile golfers than the
all round season on the "other side"
but even then there must be many
children who have time to make q
start. Any patch Of open ground is
good enough to convert into minia-
ture course, as length need not be con-
sidered.
Miss Leitch's start.
My earliest golflng days were spent
on a stretch of rough country which
has now disappeared as the result of
an 7encroaching sea. Paths were our
fairways and particularly good patches
of these formed our greens, and on
this natural links, one of my sisters
and I used to have the keenest
matches. Later, we were admitted to
the club as juvenile members and al
lowed to play over the links whenever
we chose. Our severe training on this
natural and unusually narrow home
made links made the real links appear
very easy and we always feel 1t was
thanks to this method of learning that
we never. experienced any drudgery.
Nearly every golfer who started to
play late in life wishes she had begun
sooner. Surely this proves that there
are thousands Of children who should
be allowed to learn now and is not
this further proved by the fact that
no one has ever yet been known to
retire from the game from choice?
There is no more attractive sight
than that Of a small boy with a natu-
raj swing. For some unknown rea-
son. girls do not acquire an easy swing
so readily as boys. 1t may be that
boys are more initiative at games and
are more determined. Be that as It
may. one seldom sees a boy golfer
with an ugly style, and nearly every
boy continues to improve rapidly and
invariably becomes a fine player. We
have only to read about the lives Of
the majority of the first class anna

The amount of energy consumed by

in lodging the rain on the way home

rain"
Don't know" said the fan, 'but It
gives me a pain"
There was long argument in the
stands between two Yankee fans as to
whether Higgins would pitch Mays or
Harper In the next game. 1t was getting
quite heated, too, when a Giant rooter
Interrupted with: Don't quarrel boys
I'm sure Higgins Will pitch both Mays
and Harper In the next game" For a
moment the Y. rooter did not catch
the drift, but when the idea struck home
the verbal explosion that followed almost
scared the rain away.
Anyway the rain gave Nick Altrock
and AL Schacht the appropriate scenery
for n realistic presentation OF their
swimming and fishing pantomime, and
despite their low spirits the fans could
not help hut be amused at the funny
antics of the Washington comedians.
Gotham fans were not half as keenly
disappointed as several hundred out-of-
town enthusiasts who had waited for
Saturday to make the trip to New York.
There were many In the stands who
came from small towns In Massachusetts,
Connecticut. New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and upstate. and It was a mean trick
the weather man played on them.
The rain held Off until the fans had
arrived or were on their way. 1ust so
as to make sure that nobody escaped
a drenching.
An idea OF how black the clouds hung
over the grounds just before the rain
fell may be understood from the fact
that sone fans In the dim light mlstook

ously. He was more concerned over
the fact that the downpour had mixed
things up for the fans who had count
ed on seeing the Sunday game. When
1t began to rain he went into consulta-
ton with Col. Rupert. They waited for
Judge Landis, who alone has the power
to call off a world series game before
the time scheduled for the start
The Judge evidently did not know
that he could call off the contest at
any time and waited until two o'clock
to send out the official word that there
would be no game. At two the contest
pires. and 1t was for them to decide.
But the rain did the deciding for every
body. and then came the rush for the
exits.
"Of course I am very sorry TO see
this mixup In plans. said McGraw
But the rain will give Douglas an
other day, and that means something
to US. I am not inclined to believe that
the rest will take some of the edge
off our batters. They had two very
bad days, and those ought to be about
all for the series They started yester-
day and will resume tomorrow
disappointed About Ruth.
II am sorry. too. to hear that there
is doubt whether Ruth will be able to
play In the rest of the series. All the
players really feel disappointed that he
will not play. Our pitchers have been
pitching to him, and l think that they
have been doing pretty well against
him"
George Kelly, who has yet to make
his flrst hit of the series, did not seem
to have lost any sleep thereover. Gus"
still had that old smile--and he made
no promises about to-day. Bancroft
has not been hitting, either. Nor has
Pipp OF the Yanks, who has had even
less success than Kelly. Pipp has been
feeding the inielders. Like Kelly, he
has got two bases on balls.
The series already has broken all rec
ords for receipts, but one mark, that for
attendance for single game, Is safe
from this clash. As no extra seats were
built the record OF 42,620, made in the
NTH and last game at Boston in the
1916 series, In which the Red Sox beat
the Dodgers, will stand.
Receipts Set Record.
In the matter OF receipts the series
already IL s51.S00 ahead OF the record,
and going strong, The old mark for the
first three games was set In the 1919
series between the Reds and the White
Sox. when s2s6,4S was taken in at the
gate. The three games here have been
witnessed by n total OF $50, paid at
tendance. as against the old record of
9S,577 made In the first three games OF
the 1916 series.
The receipts for last Fridays game
S119, 9,00T--were far and away bigger
than the best mark of the past--s101, 76s
set In the sixth game In 1919. at Gin
cinnati. Rather a striking contrast when
compared with the receipts OF $4,000
for the entire first series In 1e03--with
the receipts of ses.435 OF the series In
which the great Matty beat the Athletics
in 1905. and the total receipts Of $4,000
In 1885. when ST. Louis and Chicago
went seven games,
