The Yankee-White Sox series ended
at the Polo Grounds yesterday witt
another pitchers duel in which Sam
uel Pond Jones OF the Yanks seemed
10 be carrying O horseshoe, while
+. Urban Charles Faber was followed by
an ectoplasm or something else that
crossed F'aber. Only something like
that could make Mcclellan muff a pop
fly, letting in two runs and tossing
away the pastime. The final score
, was Yanks, 4 White Sox, 1.
This gave the Yanks three games
out of TIE four with the White Sox,
and a ball game won on bull luck
counts just as much as n ball game
won on sheer merit. The comparatively
toothless Detroit Tigers arrive at the
Polish Grounds to-day. which. incl
dentally, is hospital day for the Red
Cross, and there will be two brass
bands TO cheer the customers.
The score was one apiece in the sew
enth yesterday when the jinx or ecto-
plasm started to get after Urban
Charles Faber and the Sox. Precisely
at the moment the Yan<s went to bat
Col Tillinghast fHommedieu Huston
entered the presidential Yankee box
with his famous iron boiler or derby
pulled firmly down upon his broad
brow. This is the lucky boiler that Col.
Huston wore through the final pennart
drive of last year. There is luck in that
hat.
Dust of Toll on Colonel.
Col. Huston had just come in from
doing some plain and fancy shovelipg
on the site of the Yankees new ball
mark and was covered with the dust of
honest toll. With any shovel. steam or
hand. the Colonel is an artist. Nothing
'intrigues him as shovel does.
With Scott ont Schang chopped hit
to center and Mostil let the ball roll by
him, which put Schang ON second. Sam
uel Pond Jones. imbued with a laudable
desire to win his own game, cracked a
two bagger to right center
Witt lifted fly to short left. It was
not out far enough for Samuel Pond
Jones' TO make the dash for the platter.
Two out with a Yank on third and one
ton second. Chicklets Fewster. the Bal
timore Alienator, lifted n pop fly over
third 1t looked like three cut and ex-
ira innings once more.
But at this stage OF the proceedings
the iinx or ectoplasm got into the mitt
of Mcclellan. the White Sox third base
map. The ball bounded out and rolled
into>left field, while Schang and Jones
scurried home. Fiswster continued on
to second. where be was speared in a
cloud of dust as he slid for the sack
1t should have been three outs and no
runs. - s,AssS t-A'e
The Yanlls got another and altogether
unnecessary run in the eighth, which
Miller started with a single. Walter
Pipp cracked a one base hit to right
center. but Harry Hooper seemed to
have a criclS in his back at the time
and the ball rolled along to the fence.

Immediately there was a debate
around second base. Various members

the bag under the impression that the
jumps had decided against them. Miller
Higgins dashed out of the Yankee
dugout and began to chatter shrilly
Everybody in uniform rushed to the

Johnny Evers. Time was when Jawn
would have been the first to let go with
an epithet or bat. But yesterday he
did a thing that left the customers mute
with amazement.
Jawn Evers took one look at the tur-
moil. longing. lingering look, one that
showed that his crustacean soul longed
to be in the thick of It.. Then he turned
and ran into the White Sox dugout. If
you have followed the truculent career
OF Jawn Evers you will admit that this
was self control in the extreme. A fight
in prospect and Jawn Evers moving
away from II. Darling, We are growing
old.
For four innings Jones allowed no
hits at all and Faber allowed only two.

battle. The Yanks got their first run

frankfurters on the fire with reckless
abandon or something like that in order
that one of the customers would go

Perhaps the star performance of the
afternoon was a catch by Mostil. the
Sox fielder. Elmer Miller 1ashed out

DESCRIPTION MADE
 OF PRES. HARDING
Characteristics and Every Day
 Life Is Outlined

Washington, June e.-Postnaster General Work recently gave "close- up'' impression of President Harding l to a group of western visitors who had called at the post office depart ment to commend improvements of postal conditions on the Pacific Coast Colleagues of the postmaster general
 were of the opinion that Dr. Work $ l description of the president was so unique it should be made public and
 consequently it was given out today as follows:
 The outstanding characteristic of
 President Harding is his presence. This can hardly be called a charac- teristic for it is the sum of many;
 all in fact that a man has The pres ident's presence is seen to best ad
 vantage when he is receiving the long lines of casual, curious and transient visitors to the White House.
 This is almost of daily occurrence and always follows the adjournments of cabinet meetings. Many hundreds of visitors to Washington are massed without waiting for the cabinet off cers to leave, when they have been assured they may shake hands with the president.
 Handshaleing Artist
 The presidents art of handshaking has been frquently commented upon There is no art about it because it is real. It is an instinct He meets them by the hundreds day after day. forty per minute if there is no band playing. more if there is music. The president likes children and old people. and he is fond of dogs, and they in turn like him, each in their own fashion. The dog Iaddie Boy. true to the Airedale instinct for one master only. selected the presi- dent as his special friend. Children look at him and pass on reassured, having forgotten that 1t was the pres ident who held their hand. while old ladies meet him with Thank God for you, MT. President or, May God bless you or Our country is safe with you Often an old lady on that uncertain border line separating the grandm other from the angel. will kiss his hand, greatly to his embarrass- ment-
 Likes Old People.
 These old people; they impress one and depress him at times. They have done their work. matured their chill dren and are waiting. Mayhap some are rejoicing them and others may be a distress, but in either event they are their children whom they must soon leave to the vicissitudes of the world. To them, the president seems guardian and his office a protecto- rate to those in the little family world so many of us live in.
 ITO these people the clasp of the presidents hands means much. They come purposely to see him. Each one passes on feeling that he had been waiting for them to come. After the greetings as they mass in the spacious room beyond. having departed re- luctanty, looking backward. the emo tions in the many hearts are beyond knowing. but those critical, suspicious or resentful are ell absent and the
