CHESAPEAKE BEACH
Bay BreeZeS.

Chesapeake Beach, Washing.
toms Coney Island, offered real
solace yesterday to thousands
seeking respite from the heat of
the past week. The bay breezes
were right on the job and dried
the perspiring brow Of many a
wilted pleasure-seeker.
Triton figuratively blew his
wreathed horn and lured hundreds
of excursionists into the salty
surf, where they disported with
merry mermaids.
The gods of Mount Olympus
could not have wished for O.
more heavenly spot than that
sylvan dell vulgarly known as
the picnic grounds. Shade trees,
grassy slopes, rustic benches and
tables, quaint pavilions, gravel
walks, nodding flowers-every-
thing that lover or luncher could
hope for. Ginger ale and near
beer "subbed" for nectar, and
crabmeat took the place Of am
brosia.

Dugan Deliberately Permits
Batted BALTIC Hit Him, Pipp
Getting Credit for Hit.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.


Wally Pipp, thanks to the innate
kindness of his teannmate, Joe
Dugan, today stands possessor of a
consecutive hitting streak running
through ~ eighteen games. Joe
handed Wally a hit in the ninth
inning of yesterdays tussle with
the Griffs.
Four times had Pipp gone to bat
without getting the smell of a blow.
Zachary knocked down his savage
drive in the first and tossed him
out. Peck grabbed his grounder in
the third and nailed him. Joey
Evans raced almost to the circus
seats and brought down his long fly
in the fifth, and Judge ambled over
10 the box to camp under his pop
fly in the seventh. 1t didn't look
as though Pipp would get another
chance during the day. His streak
seemed doomed to be broken.
However, with two down in the
ninth, Bucky Harris made a mess
Of Joe Dugan's grounder, and his
subsequent wretched peg let the
Yank reach second. Ruth took a
walk. The table was set for Pipp.
Paul Vernon Zahniser was hurting
for the Griffs in that final frame
and having his troubles finding the
plate, but Pipp saw one coming to
his liking. He whacked it, rolling
merry hopper toward shortstop.
Quick as a flash Dugan realized
that Pipp's hitting streak was gone,
and, knowing his team was ahead
and likely to win, he jumped right
into that bounding ball. OF course,
under the rules, Dugan was out,
making the third one to die, but
also under the rules a hit was
credited to Pipp. giving him eighteen
consecutive games. Thus are many
records made in this old ball game.

Bill KiIIifer Thinks
High Winds Cause
Long Bingles

Manager Bill Killifer, of the
Cubs, rises to remark that the
lively ball is responsible for the
reign of heavy hitting which is
in vogue in major league base
ball. He also says that the high
winds of this spring have aided
the wild flights of the lively
horsehide.
All that batsman has to do
is to see which way the wind
is blowing and then shoot his
long hit into the breeze, and
away it sails. Ki1lifer says that
none of the players take q short
hold on the bat any more and
try to chop single over the in
field. They all take a grip on
the bat at the end of the handle
and swing hard.

Johnson was moderately pleased by
the fact that Col. T. L. Huston sold

it look very sour for Comiskey.

there is no doubt that the campaign
