slammed the ball against the right

as though Cronin might have scored
on this, for Ruth, making desperate
bid for a catch, bounced of the
bleacher barrier and rolled over the
ground. Yet Cronin did no better
than pull up at third base before the
ball was on the way back to the inf1eld

skied into retirement.

Will Harridge, American League

something and with the leagues
experience in public entertainment

men would be logical sponsors OF

Lyman's idea involved the use
of electrical devices to flash in
simultaneously the bidding and
play of the hands to the galleries,
where the partisans and umpire
baiters could vent their enthusiasm
in cheers for Baltimore and jeers
for st. Louis, boots for north and

Loses Effectiveness After
Battling Gomez Even
for Six Innings.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
staff correspondent of The Star

N YEW YORK, July THAT
M American League lead
again is eight games away
4 from the Nationals, who
have not drawn many smiles
from Lady Luck this season.
Looked as though the femme
dispensing fortune was about to
give the Capital club at least
an even shot at the game today.
Then a batted ball struck AL
Crowder on his collarbone. Away
went the pitchers control and
almost quicker than proceedings
could be recorded on a score
card the Yankees were off to a
7-to-4 triumph.
For six inning5 the General had
given Lefty Gomez a great battle on
the hill and the score stood at San.
Starting the seventh, Crowder deity
disposed of Crosetti. Then came that
drive of Saltzgaver's bat to tip of
the pitchers glove and land squarely
on his clavical Instinctively Crowder
retrieved the ball and threw out the
batter. But that was his finish.
After delaying the game to have
the wound examined at the Wash
ington bench, the General bravely re-
turned to battle and walked Ruth.
Then with two out, the Yanks ripped
into the bruised right-hander for two
doubles and the ball game was gone.
THAT blow didn't hurt where 1t
landed" Crowder explained after the
game. II felt it in the back of my
right shoulder. The pain seemed to
tie up the muscles and my control
was gone right away"

Error Helps Tie Count.

TT WAS an error that helped the
l. Nationals to a tie in the third.
Manush made second base when
his roller got away from Saltzgaver.
Successive lofts by Cronin and Schultz
got Heinie around the next two sta
tions.
The Champs took the lead in the
fourth and again an error aided.
Sewell singled to center and made
second when Chapman let the
sphere glance off his glove. When
Crowder bunted toward third Saltz-
gaver jumped back to that base, and
with no one fielding the ball the Gen
got a hit that moved Sewell to the
far corner. AS Myer drilled into
force out, Sewell crossed.
After one was out in the fifth the
New Yorkers lifted themselves to a
tie A single by Saltzgaver and a
double by Ruth lacked up the home
side.

ESPITE the most determined ef-

not headed at any stage. The British
crew, getting greater length at a
lower racing beat, was unable to show
open water at any time but with

ways looked like the winner. Leanders
had a half-length at the half-mile
and nearly length at the mile.
DR.. Buntz, in repeating his 1882
triumph in the single sculls, equalled
the record of $40 as he led Ruther-
ford by three and half lengths at
the finish. The Tiger oarsman started
poorly, nearly hitting a boom, and
thereafter was outclassed by his more
experienced German rival.
Records were broken or equalled
altogether in five Of the principal
events Of the regatta, which was
marked by a big revival of public in

into the right-held bleachers by Bill
Dickey. But his control had been so
good, the busting Bronxmen were un-
able to do much damage. Only one
pass had been issued by Crowder be-
fore he took that Furnishing blow.
After collecting their two seventh
inning doubles off the General. the
Yanks went on to sock Jack Russell
and Bob Burke sufficiently to raise
to an even dozen their total of safeties
for the fray.
OFF Gomez, the Nationals managed
to get as many as 10 hits. Seven were
made before the Yanks started their
