VANCE WINS THIRTEENTH
 STRAIGHT GAME FOR ROBINS
Giants Defeated By Team From Across Bridge Johnson Helps Washington To Stay On Top Though Tanks Win.

New York, Sept. g. - Robins nested on the pennant flag pole and twittered from the rafters of the Polo Grounds today while John McGraw sat in his dugout and speculated upon the visitation.
 wilbert, the round robin, led his band upon the green turf of the field yesterday to the roof raising yells of thousands of Brooklyn fans who had iourneyed across the famous bridge to see the second game of the little worlds series.
 Dazzy Vance, cock robin of the round-the-league fiiers stepped upon the mound and threw the fastest ball In captivity at the Giant army assembled for a final stand beneath historic Coogan's Bluff; and if neither Brooklyn nor New York witnesses worlds series next month, the 10000 spec tators at yesterdays battle will not have been entirely deprived of its thrill.
 Vance won his thirteenth con- secutive game and his twenty-f1fth of the season; but not before the desperate Giants had delivered a strong attack, only after hitting by Deberry, Wheat, Brown and High had driven Nehf from the hill, and quick thinking and sharp fielding by his mates and had retrieved the nurling ace from threatening sit uations caused by his wildness.
 Deberry's home run with Grif- tith on, a double play engineered Dy Stock which caught southworth and Groh off the sacks, and an ef- fective protest by Manager Robin son which gave his team a run and brought the Giants back to the field after Brooklyn had been ap- parently retired, were high spots for an evenly divided crowd which fognd a spasm in every inning.
 The Robins won, to 2, and to- dey begin their final effort for the pAnAant on the home lot, only one half game behind the Giants and with a one and one-half contest lead over the Pirates, who, with al other National league clubs, were idle yesterday.
 The Yankees, fighting grimly tc recover the two-game lead enjoyed by Washington, won at Boston. to 0, as Joe Bush held the Rec Sox to two hits. Fullerton allowed only four until the eighth wher Dugan singled and Ruth accepted the drama of the occasion and hi his 44th homer for the only score! of the game.
 Washington retained it's advan tage, however. with Walter John son working easily behind an ear ly lead for an to 4 verdict owe the Athletics. Hauser and Mile hit homers with none on base. Tn St. Eouis-Chicago contest was post poned by rain. No others wer scheduled.

.GOLDSTE|N WINS
 BY B|G MARGIN
Ryan Nearly Knocked Out by
 BantamWeiSht Champion

Long Island City, N. r.. Sept, g. Abe" Goldstein, worlds bantam weight champion successfully de- tended his title in a furious l5-round match last night against Tommy Ryan of McKeesport. Pa, at the Queensboro A. c. The challenger narrowly escaped knockout in the 18th round,
 Goldstein had wide margin on his opponent after the seventh round, previous to this the titlehold- CT fought more of defensive fight, working under wraps and concealing the attack that later carried him to @ sweeping victory.
 Near Knockout
 In the 18th round Goldstein, work ing from long range, swung his bat tery of rights and lefts into action and drove the reeling Ryan about the ring, punch drunks and on the. verge of a knockout
 Again in the 18th round it looked like the shades for Ryan, but he gamely mustered enough resistance to weather the storm and remain upright until the bell. Goldstein last night looked far better than he did against Charlie Ledoux, the French flash, when the two met at the Velodrome A. c. earlier in the summer Naturally strong defensive fight CT, Goldstein appeared last night as though he could force Ryan to carry all of the fight to him but after the seventh he threw off the shackles of reserve that had punctuated his fighting up to this point and with a two-fisted attack bore into the fight ing Ryan and almost swept him off his feet by the furiousness of his at tack.
 Ryan Game
 But Ryan was game. A shorter reach than his opponent and far shorter body handicapped Ryan to some extent but despite this he wad- ed into the champion, endeavoring to get inside and score from close range.
 But Goldstein had other plans and from his distant position he jabbed Ryan into submission and then crossed his terrific right which all but knocked the McKeesport boy for the count. Goldstein weighed 116a and Ryan scaled IF.
 Preliminary Fight
 "Bushie" Graham, Utica bantam. won on foul from Jack Snyder of New York in the eighth round of the semi-final to the Goldstein- Ryan bantamweight championship. Graham led all the way. flooring Snyder for a count of nine in the third, until the foul blow came. He was carried from the ring but was not seriously hurt.
