Hafey of the st. Louis Cards in a
game against the Philiies made
double, triple and a home run in
four trips to the plate. Hafey has been
one of the mighty hitters of the season,
leading his league in runs batted in
and swatting home runs all over the
place. His eyes appear to have re-
covered.
Tuesday.
When the ruthless Yankees trimmed
st. Louis, II to S, 1t was New Yorks
third straight victory of the series and
sixth straight of the season over the
Browns. The Yankees made l8 hits
for 26 bases.
On this same afternoon Freddy Lind
stron of the Giants returned to the
game minus two wisdom teeth. He had
taken Monday off to have them ex-
tracted.
Wednesday.
In spite of the fact that Lou Gehrig
hit his fifteenth home run, the Browns
won their first game OF the year from
the Yankees. st. Louis compiled eight
runs in the third inning.
The Giants made five runs in the
sixth inning in Pittsburgh and chased
Burieigh Grimes to the showers. This
was regarded as quite a feat, as New
York has not beaten Grimes since 1926,
when he was with Brooklyn. The
Giants certainly were not trying to beat
him in 1927, because he spent that year
as a member of the team. Last season
he defeated New York five times. The
Joke of it is that technically McGraw's
men haven't beaten Burleigh yet, since
they lost that Pittsburgh game on an
error in the ninth inning. Although
Meme got credit for the victory, Grimes
escaped being charged with a defeat
and kept his string of 10 consecutive
wins unbroken.
Simmons Of the Athletics hit his four
tenth home run as his team took its
third straight game from the Chicago
White Sox.
Thursday.
Pittsburgh and New York each scored
five runs in the second inning but the
Pirates won again, this time by II to Z.
Pie Traynor hit two triples, one double
and scored three runs.
Milton CASTOR, pitching for the Bos-
ton Red Sox against the Browns, won
his fourth straight game.
The Athletics won their fourth
straight, trimming Cleveland, 10 to 3,
and making Is hits, which included a
double, two triples and two home runs.
DazZy Vance pitched his first game
for Brooklyn since May 26, and beat
Cincinnati. The score was to /. Ex-
cept for an error, Vance might have
had q shutout. Except for a great
catch, he might have lost the game.

FAMILY DOCTOR
MADE MILLIONS OF
FRIENDS

Fifteen years after his graduation,
DIR. Caldwell became famous tor q
single prescription, which now, after
forty years, is still making friends.
Today Dr.. Caldwe1l's Syrup Pepsin
is the worlds most popular laxative:
Millions of people never think OF
using anything else when they're
constipated, headachy, bilious, feverish
or weak; when breath is bad, tongue
coated, or they're suffering from
nausea, gas, or lack of appetite or
energy.
DIR. Caldwe1l's Syrup Pepsin is
made today according to the original
formula, from herbs and other pure
ingredients, 1t is pleasant-tasting;
thorough in the most obstinate cases ;
gently effective for women and chill
dren. Above all, it represents a
doctors choice of what is safe for the
bowels.

WORLD CHAMPION
 TEAM DEFEATED
Tan Ryn and Allison Bow to NeGr and Barnes in Net Play

Newport, k. I, Aug. 21 Pl-Thc amazing defeat of Johnny Van Ryn and Winner Allison, worlds cham pion doubles tennis team. by Philip Neer of Portland, Ore. winner of the national intercollegiate title back in 1921, and Bruce Barnes, 19-vear- old Austin. Texas. player. who was making his debut in q major tour namcnt, overshadowcd everything else here today.
 Van Ryn and Allison were playing their first doubles match since their Davis cup triumphs in France where they gained the crown by Vanquish- Ing Henri COChct and Jean Borotra, but although they had spent most of last week in intensive practice on the LOnGWOOd courts at Brooklino, Mass. they were ragged at the start and seldom through the match did they seem on top of their game.
 Nacry and Barnes had Hcarccl ly been introduced to each other when the play started and had not been conceded a chance to win. But instead they captured the first set c4 dropped the second, 1-6. and took tho final and deciding one, 6-3. Even the second set was far from the sort of win to which the cham pionship team has been accustomed. since after Van Ryn and Allison had their opponents 5-l. they were car riCd 10 s"t point six times before they finally triumphed.
 Scarcely less surprising was tho play in the match between Big Bill Tildcn and Frank Hunter. seeded second to Van Ryn and Allison, and TamiO Abe of Japan and Edward Jacobs, Baltimore left handler. Til den and his partner were victorious but at tho rather unusual scores for them of 5-7. G-S. G-1. Hunters errors cost the first sot but Tildcn opened mp with his caunonball service in the second and the result was never thereafter in doubt although Abe and Jacobs put up a stern and at times brilliant battle.
 The other eight seeded teams in the Newport Casino doubles play came through safely.
