McGraw did not care to pick on any
one or two Yankee pitchers as being
"easier" than the rest. He declared
that there was no telling what pitcher

vance dope on hurIers only too often had

clared Amos. Watch the breaks and
the game usually will go with them. OF
course, in short series like that--four
out of seven--pitching lies in there right
smart. But the breaks are the thing"
And he kept munching and ruminating.
Both McGraw and Jim Tierney, secre-
tary of the club, ridiculed the report
that the demand for seats was not quite
up to expectations. I'VE could sell out
to the bankers convention II we so de-
sired" said Tierney, but we have de-
clared ourselves In favor of our regular
patrons. The checks are coming in
faster than we can handle them, and Ed
Barrow tells me a similar situation
exists in his offices.
There will be $4,000 seats each day

stand and $4,000 in the bleachers-for
those who have no reserved seats. Last
year the crowd was frightened away by
early reports about fighting mobs unable
to get in. II the fans will keep level
heads there will be Accommodations for
nearly everybody and satisfaction all

McGraw declared that reports that the
Giants had bought Bentley, the slugging
left handed pitcher, from the Baltimore
club for 100000 were not true. Jack

the situation that faces Col. Tillinghast
L'Hommedieu Huston demands rain. The
Colonel was puzzled, not only by the
complicated situation which confronts
the Ianks, but by the fact that for once
he was at odds with that other great
strategist Bonaparts. Napolean didn't

YanISee-Brown Series Looms.
If this thing should continue there
will be q YanlSee-Brown series that
should be of considerably greater in
terest than the world series itself. OF
course it is highly improbable, but yet
who would have thought that the math-
ematical certainty would not have ar
rived by this time? Right now a repe-
tition of the thrills of 1908 might come
to pass.
The Yankees have used UP Shawkey

An agent of the st. Louis Chamber

Wanted: One ClOudburst
for Use BY Col. Rupert
Yankee Owners Willing to
Pay Double Rates to Mr..
Rain Maker.
BY w. o. McGEEHAy.

The mathematical certainty of the
Yankees title to the American League
pennant of 1922 is still as loose as
ashes. With the victory of the ST.
Louis Browns over the White Sox and
the defeat of the Yankees at the hands
Polish Hibernian spitballer, the situa-
tion becomes more complicated Col.
Jacob Rupert, president of the YAM
KEGS, sits brooding under one of the
weeping willow trees at his country
estate, while Col Tillinghast L'Hom-
medieu Huston, vice-pres.dent of the
Yankees, who is with the Yankee Ex-
peditionary Forces near Boston, Mass,
is reported to be suffering from a most
violent attack of palpitation of the
knee
The Yanks have to win only one game
or the Browns to lose one to make the
Yanks champions of the American
League. Theg Browns have two more
games to play with the Chicago White
Sox. The Yankees have two games. one
with the Red Sox and one with the
Washington Senators. If the Yanks lose
their two games and the Browns win
theirs the teams will te tied on the sea-
son, which will necessitate three game
series to decide the league championship.
Rain May Settle Question.
Rain in Boston or ST. Louis to-day or
in Washington or st. Louis tomorrow
would win for the Yankees for, by de-
cree of the American League, the league
season closes on Sunday regardless of
the standings of the clubs. If the
Yankees lose one OF their remaining
games and the other is called off by rain
the Yanks would have won SO and lost
60, while If the Browns win both OF
theirs st. Louis viii have won SO and
lost 81.
CNusin Egbert Barrow, secretary Of
the Yankees, broke this news to Col.
Jacob Rupert. In an instant the magic
fountain pen which brought Babe Ruth
and Jumping Joe Dugan to the Yankees
was drawn from the Coloners vest
pocket
"Egbert." commanded Col. Rupert
"get three of those fellows who guarantee
to make rain. Send one to st. Louis, one
to Boston and one to Washington. Tell
make a lot of rain. / don't care how
much rain they make. Tell them I will
give double rates for a cloudburst and IL
they could have a little snow too / will
pay anything reasonable"
Mr.. Barrow declined to saw whesher
Or not the rain making devices would be
turned to as last resort. If it should
happen to rain in any OF the three cities
mentioned, however. it is quite likely
that the st. Louis Chamber of Commerce
will pass some resolutions denouncing
the weather.
Reports from Boston have it that the
iron hat of Col. Tillinghast L'Homme-
dieu Huston has cracked underx. the
strain. At late hour the great COM
mander was seen pacing the roof of his
hotel peering anxiously at the skies for
dark clouds.
Unlike the situation before the Battle
of Waterloo, where rain beat Napoleon.

Americas strong Team.

The American team includes Louis
Stoddard, the wonderfully mounted NO.

land last year; Raymond Belmont, the
best amateur jockey riding to-day and
obviously candidate for the next in
ternational team when England is ready
to play for the America cup they lost
last year; Watson Webb. considered in
England last year to be the most strik-
ing opponent chat was opposed to the
British team, and with this formidable
lot of forwards there is Bobbie Straw
bridge at back. level headed, fine
Eorseman little inferior to Milburn.
Strawbridge lacks the ability to hit a
ball as far as Milburn can and Is not
SO spectacular in pressing an offensive
against his opponents, but when mis-
team is hard pressed, and it Is going to
be to-day, then Strawbridge will be in
q position to neutralize any dangerous
situation his side may be placed in.
Enstcott's Big job.
1t seems that Eastcott has an unen-
viable job on hand to attempt to defeat
this aggregation, but the Anglo-Amer
can team has great record. 1t was

season, the Argentine players being the

well mounted He has done splendidly
in previous big matches and will cause
his opposing back lot of trouble.
Earle Hopping is - very spectacular
and brilliant hitter that can be relied
upon to convert most of his opportuni-
ties to score into goals. He is consid-
cred in England to be without a SUI
perior in this galloping game. Major
Hurndale has distinguished himself in
all the matches as being the most thor

seen this season. He is not only a
magnificent stick man but an obstacle
that is always in the path of any offen-
sive his opponents may launch.
The Eastcott back, Major Lockett, the
old international skipper. Is playing
better polo than he did last year in
England. He has been particularly
brilliant in his last few games, SO the

There was gloom at the Polo Grounds
yesterday afternoon when Davy Ban
croft and frankie Frisch reported with
injured ankles, which they brought UP
with them from the exhibition game In
Baltimore on Thursday. The shortstop
and captain sprained his left ankle In
practice before the contest with the
Orioles, and instead of telling John Nc
Graw about the mishap and warming
the bench he remained in the game
to the finish and aggravated the injury
greatly.
Frisch turned on his weak left ankle
during the exhibition. and he, too. kept
that information to himself while he
played through the nine innings
Frisch's hurt is not as bad as that Of
Bancroft, and he may take the field
this afternoon in one Of the games
with the Braves. 1t is very doubtful
IL Banne will get into o uniform either
to-day or tomorrow. However. Me-
Graw's system in such cases is to have
the player work out the injury and
he may ask the shortstop to go in for

terday while his teammates were hold
ing a snappy practice session and he
bewailed his hard luck. Went through

down there i'm Baltimore was very
peculiar and the ground gave way un-
der us. The ankle hurts and 1t Is
