JENNINGS PLEASED
With MEUSEL FORM

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The return
to hitting form of Emil Irish" Meu-
sci, whose heavy hitting slumped to a
$50 clip following his transfer from
the Phillies to the Giants, has given
Hughie Jennings something to chuckle
about.
When Meusel found himself at the
beginning of the present series with
Pittsburgh, McGraw's right hand man
as he calls Jennings, offered an ex-
PLANTATION.
They did not know what was the
matter with him when he stopped hit
ting, but | did. l told them to wait
and see. That slump was just natural.
You'll always find that when a player
comes from a tail-end team where he
has had the run of his own sweet will,
he finds himself out of sorts taking
orders from the management of a
club up in the race
'Meusel had 10 get acclimated. Look
al that hit going to the fence. | guess
he'll go along all right now"

Phillies winning streak OF four
straight games was smashed by the
Reds and Rube Marquard, who got re-
venge for the double defeat Wednes-
day, by registering neat triumph by
the score of 8 to l. Luck and some
great outfielding by Duncan explains
why the Phillies were knocked from
their winning stride.
Several times the Phillies produced
rallies that looked good, but each time
Duncan put a damper on them by
some circus catches. In the eighth
frame with one man on base and the
Reds leading by the score Of to i,
King clouted one to the left field
fence Duncan went back to the fence
and leaning far over the railing gath
cred the ball in, retiring the side.

inning of the game when in attempt
ing the double steal he crashed into
catcher Henline, pulling tendon, as
the result of the collision. 1t is not
known just how long he will be out OF
the game.
RUDE Marquard was also in fine
form, though he was nicked for seven
blows just one more than the Reds
collected, he was very effective in the
pinches He was able to tighten JUS
az the right moment.

Much do is made over the fact Inat
champions rarely come back"
Nothing really startling in that. The
fact is that champions who are really
champions remain such until age or

Naturally, when they get the come

than when they lost the title and with
every chance against them, they rare

are the only outstanding examples OF

Secondly, he drew a referee who

KIWANIS TEAM LOSES
GAME, 9 TO 1; HINES
DAIRY OUTFIT VICTOR

The Kiwanis baseball team went
down to defeat Thursday afternoon
at the hands of the Hines Dairy base
ball club at Exhibition park to the
tune of 9 to I. The league leaders
were without the services of Pitcher
Move, which crippled them very
much.
Betha I'd took up the mound duty in
the absence of Move and hurled a
fairly good game of ball, having one
bad inning, when the Dairymen scored
six runs on clean hitting. Nicodemus
was very effective for the Dairymen
and did not allow another run to
score after the first frame, although
the KiWanis threatened in the fourth,
with second and third occupied and
one down.
Milkmen Swing Mean Club
The feature of the game was the
hard hitting of Hines. The short
stop connected for three safe blows
out of as many times at bat, all three
of his hits being for three bases.
Nicodemus and Runnels also hit hard,
Nicodemus getting two hits and Run
nels three safeties.
Matlack, the Kiwanis shortfielder,
had to retire from the game in the
second inning when, attempting to
slide into second base, he sprained
an ankle.
The Kiwanis lone run came in the
/ first frame. The score:
| Kiwanis ..... 100 600 5
| Hines .........0 60 Tx 9 10 3
Bethard and Meyers; Nicodemus
and Thornburg.
