PITTSBURGH. Aug. 15.-Long hits and
many of them, some off Art Nehf and
some off Claude Jonnard, combined with
excellent pitching by Wilbur Cooper and
some flashy fielding behind him, made 1t
comparatively easy for the Pirates to
win from the Giants to-day py a score
of to 2. Once or twice during the
game it looked as though the Giants
might rise up and step on the up
start Pirates, but these moments or
promise passed quickly. 1t practically
was Pittsburgh's game from start to
dismal finish, double play in the ninth
innings scattering the Giants last des-
pairing attack. At that. 1t was a game
full Of thrills, with the Pirates pro-
yiding most of them.
The downfall of Arthur Nehf served
TO add to the gaiety of Pittsburgh. Ar
thur was endeavoring to run his total
of consecutive victories over the Pirates
up to thirteen when he was caught in
the act. 1t may have been. as Barney
Dreyfuss insisted a short time ago. that
something was loose with the baseballs.
Whatever the cause. Arthur quickly was
apprised that though he might beat the
Pirates some more, he would beat them
no more to-day.
Shattering smacks from the Pirate
bats led to Nehfs retirement in the
second inning and Jonnard, playmate of
Virgil Barnes in the bull pen, was called
in. For the remainder of the game
Claude pitched some very good ball and
some that was not so good. Like Nehf,
he found it impossible to keep the Pi-
rates from hitting the ball for extra
bases at most unpropitious moments.
Cotton Tierney and Max Carey We're the
most damaging hitters, Tierney collect
ing a home run, q triple and two dou-
bles in four tries, and Carey getting to
each Giant pitcher for a triple.
Pirates Operate on Nehf.
After Cooper had disposed OF the
Giants with neither fuss nor delay in
the first inning. the Pirates went to work
on Nehf. Maranville plastered che ball
to the barrier in left center for three
sacks. and when Carey hit to right
center for three bases, Maranville
counted. At this time the din was so
great in the stands that Barney stuck
his head out of his office door TO find
out what all the shooting was for. Carey.
with rare discretion, remained at third
base. while Bigbee was being attended
to personally by George Kelly, but
scored Wnen Barnnarl ll1teu d Sdcrilicc
fly to King. Further scoring seemed
possible when Tierney singled to CEN
ter. but Traynor took three swings In
vain.
Irish Meusel raped n single to center
in the second inning, but progress past
first was denied him. King, who desired
to hit safely so that he could snicker at
Barney. for whom he once toiled, hit into
a double play instead. Grimm and Maran-
Vile reelng off the two edged erasure.
The Pirates half of this inning found
the home boys again picking on Nehf.
Grimm who was first up, looked askance
on four balls served up to him by the
Giant left handler and got to first base.
Schmidt of holdout fame singled TO left,
Grimm stopping at second. Cooper
forced Schmidt at second, but slam
by Maranville riccocheted off Nehfs
dogs and wound UP In short right field,
Grimm scoring and Cooper getting 70

ny DANIEL.

A devastating, all-conquering home
run by Elmer Smith, which shrieked
into the upper tier of the right field
stand like sirocco across the Sahara
gave to the Yankees a ten inning
triumph over the Tigers by to l at
the Polo Grounds last evening. There
we're two out when Meusel hit his
drive.
A scorching, all saving home run by
Bob Meusel which tore into the left
field bleachers like Kansas cyclone
in the ninth inning put the New Yorks
on an even basis with the Detroits and
made it possible for one of our new
est Yankees to don the dashing span
giles of hero. All of which, with the
Browns getting no better than an even
break in Washington, put the yam
KEGS only half game from the pace
makers-and just roaring to go!
1t was a mighty tough game for
Howard Ehmke to see slip from his grasp.
though he wasn't in at the killing. He
had been taken out to let the left handed
Sill Oldham pitch to the left handed
hitter Witt in the ninth, but Miller Hug
gins, the cute little canny manager he
is, crossed Tyrus Cobb and sent the
right handed Hitter Mcmillan to bat for
the white haired boy. It would have
been a mighty tough game for Bob
Shawkey to lose, for he pitched with
exceeding skill in the pnches and
altogether gave an exhibition well
worthy of success. But it was close
shave, and chance had to take a hand
as an ally of Bob the Cob.
Tigers Play Great Ball.
The game WAS brawly battle, which
seethed with excitement and all the well
known concomitants of a pitcher
battle. It was dog eat dog-one tense
situation after another AS the Tigers
fought desperately and brilliantly in de-
Tense OF the lone run which they scored
in the opening Inning. Lew Blue played
an astonishing game at first base,
Bobby Jones was a marvel at third and
even old man Cutshaw threw aside his
crutch and killed off hits.
But the Yankees were right there with
them--a deadly Ward, who saved the
game with a wonder stop in the fifth
inning on Cobb and nullified triple by
Blue which had opened that frame; a
scintillating Jumping Joe Dugan; an
ever reliable Deacon Scott. 1t was far
and away one of the finest exhibitions
OF baseball seen at the Polo Grounds
this year.

smith snecrs mt Custom.

Smith could not do thing until the
tenth. and then he accomplished some
thing which made managerial acumen
in regard to left and right handed hit
ters look like a plugged nickel. In four
attempts against the right handed
Ehmke Smith was a persistent victim
of a mean teasing, slow ball, which pre-
vented Elmer from sending the pill out
OF the infield. In his fourth attempt, in
the eighth, with Witt on second, Smith
famed at that slow ball with gusto-
paid.
Having failed four times against a
right handler 1t certainly was not on the
books for Smith to come through against
southpaw--for Smith is left handed
hitter and as such is reserved for only
right handed pitchers. Without doubt
he would have been taken out in the
tenth had there been an available SUBJ
stitute--but Mcmillan already had been
up so Higgins. with tears in his eyes
and a catch in his birdlike throat was
forced to send Smith out as a sacrifice
to the left handed Oldham. And then
Elmer soaked the ball into the stand
and made a certain brand of strategy
dive into the scrap heap.
1t was Harry Heilmann who drove in
the run which the Tigers defended so
gallantly into the shadows. Blue famed
rs starter In the first and then Ward
took care OF Jones. The menacing Cobb
made Shawkey pitch and pitch. and
finally Ty walked. That one lapse al
most proved fatal for Shawkey. for the
pass was coined into run. Veach sin
gleld TO left, Cobb stopping at second.
and then Heilmann singled to the same
sector. sending Cobb home.

ENGLAND WILL
WELCOME QUEENS
Louise Of Denmark, Marie Of
Of Russia and Alexandra To
Meet At Sandringham

LONDON, Dec. 1.-two dowag-
er queen and one dowager empress
of Europe, the widows of former
kings of England and Denmark and
an emperor of Russia, are to spend
me Christmas holidays together in
England. Dowager Queen Loaise of
Denmark, widow of King Frederick
VIII who died in 1912, and DoEa@-
er Empress Marie Feodorvna, Of Rus
ia,widow of Emperor Alexander II,
who died in 1894, will be the guests
of Dowager Queen Alexandra at
Sandringham. Queen Alexandra is
the widow Of King Edward VII, who
died in 1910. Those who follow the
annals of royalty say this is the first
time, probably in history, that three
widowed queens have thus come to-
gether.
Maria Feodorovna is a younger
sister of Alexandra, and Louise is a
sister-in-law of both. Hence it will
be a family reunion. Maria Feod-
orovna arrived in England recently
and celebrated her seventy-fifth
birthday, November &c, as a guest
of her sister. She has been living
for the past two years in Denmark
she was originally the Danish prin-
cess Dagmar-but she will now re-
main in England for several weeks.
Queen Louise, who is II years old, is
expected at Sandringham a few days
after Christmas.
There will be no public or social
functions in honor of the royal guests
but during the Christmas season King
George and the entire royal family
will spend few days with Queen
Alexandra and their aunts.
The meeting of Queen Alexandra,
who is rs years old, and her sister,
will be more or less touching as the
queen is known to be very distressed
at the plight of her sister, who has
been rapidly declining in health since
the killing of her son, who was
Emperor Nicholas, by the Bolsheviki
at Ekaterinburg in the summer of
1918.
