RUSHVILLE, Ind, June 30.-An

Of 1000 of a rainy afternoon. His two
Dagger to left in the tenth, with two
out, drove in the winning run, and he
started double play on Hank Gowdy's s
grounder in the ninth, pulling himself
out of hole when the Braves had two
on and one out.
Ruether has total of fourteen won
and three lost this season, making him
the most valuable pitcher in either
major league. His victory to-day was
his second in the series, as he held the
Braves to seven hits and beat them, 7
to 3, in the opening game, last Tues
day.
Neither team made an error to-day,
and each team gave its pitcher mar
velous support The Robins pulled
off double play in each of the last
three innings. Horace Ford at short
for the Braves had twelve chances, and
some of his stops of hard hit balls
were of the circus variety. Nicholson
threw out Olson at third twice, once
from left field and once from right
field when he had switched to right
after Gowdy batted for Right Fielder
Cruise in the ninth and Powell went
to center. which caused a general shift.
Jack Watson did right handed pitch;
ing for the Braves that was as good
as the left handed pitching of Ruether
until Ruether himself won the duel in
the tenth. Watson issued two passes,
both against his intention. Ruether
issued ore unintentional pass that was
wiped out by double play, and an
intentional pass to Nicholson in the
ninth.
Clarence Mitchell opened for Brook
lyn in the tenth by drawing the second
pass off Watson. Ford brought the
crowd to its feet by getting Olson's
drive to deep short and throwing to
Barbara, forcing Mitchell. Hank

They hop right back to PHILADELPHIA

weeks. Higgins believes that his team
is on the mend, after distressing at
tack Of rattles, and he seems to have a
few important facts to bear him out
The playing Of the Yanks in Wash
ington and Philadelphia was four
speeds above the brand of activity they
produced in Boston and points further
West. "Yes." said Higgins, they GER
tainly kicked the ball around lot. and
the whole pitching staff went to pieces

never get the breaks. It's the team
the breaks, and if they don't get 'er
they make 'cm. Looks to me as if our
boys are about ready to hit that gait,

going"
The shattered pitching staff has
taken grip on itself, and the latest
efforts seem to indicate that Squire
Sam Jones and Waite Hoyt have re-
turned to the point that will mean
more than few games in the winning
column. Bob Meusel, too. has climbed d

Briefs

Right in the height of the terrific
downpour yesterday Henry Fabian was
called on the telephone at the Polo
Grounds and asked about the playing
OF the game. "You can play water
polo" said Henry, cor you can hold a
naval parade, but how can you play
ball when the blooming diamond is
cut of sight under water?" AS no sat
lsfactory answer to this query was
found the game was called and the
Phlllies went their way we'll satisfied
to be free of q final contest with Nc
Graw and his crew.
The Giants have an off day and it's
silver dollars to counterfeit doughnuts
that most Of them spend it at the Polo
Grounds watching the Yanks and Ath-
letlcs. Miller Higgins was in town
Friday when the Yankees were playing
an exhibition game in Baltimore, and
even the mite manager found that his
feet led him to the Polo Grounds when
he might have been anywhere else in
the world. If a search of the grounds
were made on an off day with neither
team playing, probably a dozen discon-
solate ball players would be discovered
under the bleachers.
One of the pleasing surprises of the
sorrowful Yankee trip was the batting
and fielding of Mike McNally. With
Baker out through injuries, Mike was
called to the rescue and not only turned
IN series of brilliant stops but clrbbed
the ball merrily and he is now riding
high, wide and handsome on a batting
average of .333
Hinkey Haines, former Penn State
1ootball star, who was with the Yanks
at New Orleans this spring, dropped
in at the Polo Grounds during the
week when the Reading team was idle.
Hlnkey is ready to tell the world that
Glenn killinger, the other member of
the Penn State twins is playing
Egan's Jersey City team. "Killy" was
slow in starting, but now you can't see
him for dust.
Old Honus Wagner put question
up to John Heydler recently that
stumped the National League presi-
dent. In one of the small leagues in
the Middle West the home team handed
out twelve baseballs for game, and
about the sixth inning, with the home
team leading, there were no baseballs
left. One had been cut and the other
eleven. had fallen in garden, the
S"'ASA VI NhiSI dUSOlQLcly refused TO
either return the balls or even sell
them back. No more baseballs were
available and the game was halted.
Heydler suggested playing the game
off at a later date from the point
where the last spheroid was knocked
among the cabbages.
The way the Giants are lining up
the college stars it looks as though a
first-class sheepskin diploma was the
open Sesame" to the Brush Stadium.
Not so long ago Connie Mack was the
target for jeers and sneers because he
insisted on believing that colleges
might turn out good ballplayers.
Connie is lost in the crowd at the col
lege gates now.
The Yanks miss Wally Schang. The
injured catcher was big factor in the
attack when he came down with fat
wheel. Fred Hoffman is full of pepper
and catching fine ball, but Schang's big
bat would be welcome addition to any
club.
