advanced. This put the issue squarely
up to Goslin. and Goose responded by
walloping the first ball pitched into the
lower right-field stands for homer,
scoring McNeely and Harris ahead of
him. The huge throng gave Goslin a
noisy ovation for his feat. Kelly knocked
down Judges roller and tossed to
Barnes who covered first to end the
round. Three runs.
NEW YORK-A lead of two runs
was calculated to be just the sort of
medicine by Mogridge, who failed to
win a single game in the last month
of the season and was figured as
burnt out to such an extent that it
was doubted that he would be used at
all in the series. George pitched but
one ball before slipping the third
strike over on Young, and an exactly
same program was followed by the
Rochester portsider in tanning Kelly.
Mogridge hurled three straight balls
before getting one over the plate to
Meusel. But he followed with an
other and yet another before Meusel
connected for a terrific wallop that
Goslin got only by backing up against
the left-field barrier. The crowd gave
Mogridge a fine hand as he left the
box. No runs.

TY STILL HOPES
 POLAND PENNANT
Fighting Tyeer Has Not Given
 Up the Struggle

Boston, Aug, es.-If confidence counts for anything, and all one has to do is to see tho way that the Tygers take the field these days. the championship of the American league. and very possibly baseball's l supreme title, may pass from New York to Jungletown next October. Manager Ty Cobb of tho Jungaleera Is not making any predictions at the present time, but it is very evi- dent that he Is extremely well sat- isfied with tho way that his club is travelling along, and when he comes to consider that his real rivals, the Yankees, will have 10 finish out the schedule on the battlegrounds of the enemy, he has good reason 10 enthuse over his clubs pennant prospects.
 silent On Pcnnant
 But 1'y isn't talking championship just yet. All that concerns him at the present time is getting his play CTS to play the kind of ball he wants them to play. Many a time in the past the baseball world has been surprised when some really good big leaguer like Ehmke or F'lagstead was let out by Detroit. But Ty had his reasons for letting them go. The Tygers must play the game in the way that this fighting leader intends they shall play if. A man who can't play the Cobb brand of ball has no place upon the Detroit team.
 That's one reason why like to get young ball players to break in. I want to teach them my methods" says Cobb. "Oftentimes man comes to a team with faults that have been developed by poor coach- ing or failure on his own part to get the best out of his possibilities. If they can't unlearn these faults they have no place in my outfit. want small ball players. Brains cut big figure on the diamond and want men on my team who can keep their heads up.
 Admits He's Severe
 "On several occasions I have been rated as a hard taskmaster. Quite frequently have been criticized for taking man to task for a bad play in public. Yet this has oftentimes proved the best move 1 could make. A player is seldom apt to forget raking over that he gets on the field. !

 Paul Carries Fight.
 Berlenbaeh, on the other hand, carried the fight to Stribling in the last three rounds and rocked the Georgian with series Of rights and lefts to the head in the fourth round that kept a stream of blood flowing from the Southerner's nose. Stribling was guilty of holding re- peatedly. He was cautioned several times by the referee and once was booed by the crowd, for pounding Berlenbach while the latter's back was turned.
 Had Good Defense.
 Stribling had an effective defense for Berlenbach's famous knockout punch, blow that has foored more than two score of his oppon- ents for the final count. Except in the fourth and fifth rounds. when Berlenbach was at his best, Strib- ling's elusive style of battle had the New Yorker baffled.
 The Georgian easily piled up 8 lead in the first three rounds on his speed alone, while he stuck his long left into Berlenbach's face.
 At close range, Berlenbach and ed heavily on Stribling's ribs and toward the end of the third round 8 glancing let started the blood from nose. Berlenbach was the aggressor from the fourth on, but he found Stribling a difficult target. Once he forced the south erner against the ropes after they had exchanged stiff wallops to the head and sent his right and left into the Georgian's chin, but Stribling quickly tucked out of further danger.
 Fight Too Short.
 The fight most critics agreed, was too short test of the fighting abilities of either boxer to be con- elusive. It was made so. however. because of the New York law which prevents boxers under 21 from en- gazing in more than six round Stribling is only 19.

Look out for the Pittsburgh
 Pirates.
 Five recruits have transformed
 the club into pennant contender.
 Manager Bill McKechnie may not
 win the National league bunting
 with his Buccaneers, but he is going
 to make the race decidedly interest,"
 ing.
 At present the New York Giants are groggy. The recent four defeats at the hands of Pittsburgh is the cause.
 In the spring, prior to the opening Of the season, in doping out the chances of the National league clubs, 1 ! leaned strongly to the Pirates. I picked Pittsburgh as the one team with great chance to make trou- ble for the Giants.
 During the first two months of the race the play of the Pirates made me feel as if I didn't know a single thing about baseball. When the pitchers worked we'll the batters didn't hit and vice versa. The club lacked consistency, simply couldn't win with regularity.
 Perhaps too late, the Pirates have struck their gait, are playing the fine ball the team Is capable of and pressing New York hard, de- spite the big lead gained by the Giants while Pittsburgh was fiound- erng about.
 Five Classy Recruits
 In the fine showing of the Pitts burgh club the work of five recruits stand out prominently. Usually if club is fortunate enough to have a couple of recruits develop into regulars it is satisfied. Five recruits, Wright, Cuyler, Yde, Moore and kremer, have delivered for the Pi- rates.
 While the great hitting of Out fielder Cuyler, the fine work of Moore when substituting for Traynor at third, and the excellent pitching of Yde and Kremer have helped greatly, the acquisition of Shortstop Wright has done much 10 make the Pirates strong pennant possibility,
 Seldom has a club. lacking q bril- 1 iant shortstop, won a pennant. A ( pair around second i ,ase is most essential to success. ! Wright has made good the fine | hings said about his fielding ability. I Ie has exceeded expectations at the s ,at. Many of his biggest boosters c lad a fear for his hitting.
