The great difficulty in finding a
place to keep an automobile 80 years
ago may be imagined from the trials
of a New York automobile owner
of 1897 who could get nc space i'll

that time because those in charge
were afraid that the new contraption
would frighten the horses, as pointed
out by Betty Shannon and Elsie
Johns. ~
"In despair" write the authors, "the
automobile pioneer put an advertise
ment in the paper for a private
stable. He, had several answers to
this, one from a head groom in the
service OF one of New York's most
fashionable families, who was nothing
loath to add few dollars to his
private income. Finally, or jaunty

Intersectional games now will occupy
major league teams until the halfway
mark is passed in the pennant races
on July A. Guerilla warfare at widely
separated points along the line yester-
day resulted as expected in each in
stance.
The Yankees dubbed the Athletics at
Shibe Park, to 4; the Giants did the
same thing to the Phillies at the Polo
Grounds, II to 8. and the Red Sox won
two from the Senator'S in Boston. The
scores were 4 to l and IL to 4.
Young Henry Johnson plunged to the
forefront as an Elephant Sniper in

wilt under heavy cannonading by the
Higgins artillery corps.
Gehrigs triple, with two on. and
Boley's wild relay gave the Yankees
with one in their own half, and took
lead of to on their rally against
Johnson in the fourth. In the eighth
Combs doubled, Koenig tripled. Ruth
singled. Gehrig walked. From that point
onward the Yankees wrote their own
ticket. Ossie Orwoll entered the box as
Grove was led away.
This latest victory gave the Yankees
the longest lead they have had this sea-
Son-l1 games.
The Cardinals, who have just won al
out of 27 on their longest road trip Of
the season, disported in the Three-Eye

insignificant half-game off the st. Louis
lead in that donnybrook at the Polo
Grounds The Redbirds have persistent
" shown an inclination to turn the Ma

the Yankees have turned what the
American League once called race.
The men of McGraw hope to make up
much ground against their Western
rivals in a long run of games through
July with the weaker East. Their VIC
tory over the Phillies was four in
row, but when the Phoolish Phils act as
they did yesterday Giant fans may well
fear the next intersectional brush.
The Phillies knocked out Vic Aldr1dge

took a lead of to Z. The combined
strategy of Roger Bresnahan and John
McGraw was necessary to pinch-hit and
pinch-run the Giants into four in their
own half for an 11-to-S victory. WAL
ter Lerian's home run, with two on, was
the blow that wrecked Aldridge. Most
of the Philadelphia pitchers were pre-
maturely wrecked. and that made the
task of the Giants the more easy.

These two veterans simply outdid
themselves in their defensive play.
Flagstead ran all over center, left and

ties. and Gerber raced over the entire
territory from back of third base TO
the rear of second and deep into the
left and center fields for apparently
impossible catches and stops. Their de-

drove Todt over the plate in round 4.
The two managers and Hildebrand

the argument Carrigan took the card
from the umpire and changed the sixth
