RUDOLPH FAILS AGAIN

A MOTHER day Of rever.es. with the
"A flag Of New York Haunting mer-
rily in the breeze and our ramparts
badly blown about. In other words.
the two local clubs stunned our proud
city for the second time In as many days
Yesterday by dropping two ball games
to the representatives Of Father Knick-
erbocker.
1t looks like the same old story, said
one fan to another as he perused the
scores this morning. Back to form or
going down. For six innings Rollie
Naylor, Oklahoma citizen and hurler Of
in and .out ball for the Macklets. looked
like 4 million dollars or SO yesterday
At the Polo Grounds.
Miller IIuggins' expensive cast. which
includes our old d.off man. Whitley
Witt. was in a. frenzy Mt their inability
to connect. with MAYORS shoots. Came
the seventh and the ball game. Five
tie pentagon, and exit Mr.. Naylor and
enter Youth Harrison, fighting for q
place on the team. A sixth and final
tally was made of his shoots.
In the meantime Jimmy Dykes ct nj.
were not doing much with the stick.
When the smoke of battle had cleared
and the .scribes consulted their books
they found that Llanerch Bob ShawAey
had twirled his second shutout game VI
the season and had hurled Mack's tribe
In tine discard for the day with four
puny singles, made by Messrs. John
ston, Welch. Miller and Perkins.
Seven Of the Mackians were set down
via gtriieouts, which means that either
Shawkey was having one Of his good
days or else our Athletics were having
one Of their usual poor ones.
1t was gala day for the graduates
Of Mack's college. Shawkey not only
held his old teammates, to four binslcs
but collected a pair himself. Wally
Schang in addition to catching beau
tiful game. whaled the apple for a
single. Frank Baker, who male the
home run famous, performed valiantly
with the stick, sending the horsehide
high and dry into the stands FOR q round
trip. A couple of brother Yanks were
on the sacks at the time, which made
the hurt all the more severe.
Swinging back to the other half of
our major league representation. let il
be known that. Lee Meadows. our star
hing. in week Yesterday the Giants
Ied by another famous Philadelphia
school Of stars sent Lee to the showers
and otherwise malneated our Phils.
George Kelly socked out homer among
the sixteen safeties made by McGraw'l
team. Bancroft had two hits, Raw :
| lings three and Meusel one, fine day
work for the Philadelphia graduates. ;
Old Dick Rudolph tried q second time
yesterday to show return to the form
that made him a start In 1914, bui
Brooklyn ruined perfectly good aft
ernOon for him by making some clever
hits off his delivery. Reuther in the
meantime was displaying excellent form
and Brooklyn won.
That was the only other National
League game, rain interfering with the
scraps out in the West.
Over in the American youth Phillips,
Milan's star rookie, held the Red Sos
to four widely scattered bingles and the
Senators won their fourth game of the
season. The New Orleans lad had every
thing on the ball and the Beaneaters
we're helpless before his excellent twirl
ing. Russell, Rip Collins, late of the
Yanks, and Ferguson were battered
hard by the Senators. ten hits, includ
ing a triple and three doubles, ringins
of their bats.
The Browns pushed tho Tigers further
down into the mire by trOuncing them
again yesterday. Danforth, the four
teen. player beauty, twirled his second
win Of the youthful season. holding the
Ty Cobbs to seven hits while his mates
were collecting nine of Howard Emhkc.
Cleveland and Chicago were forced to
remain indoors because of rain.
