She is Mrs. Roswell Miller. To
the ordinary person the name signi-

But as Margaret Carnegie-her
maiden name-daughter of the late
Andrew Carnegie, maker of million
aires and fortunes-the world easily
Identifies her.
The reason for her failure to
break into news stories is that, be-
ing chip of the old block. she
shuns notoriety and lives a clois-
tered life in her New York man
sion. 1t Is on Fifth avenue
Husband a ProfessorI
The Carnegie heiress lives in
cOnspicuously with her husband,
who is professor of engineering of
New York university. His salary
is $500 a year. He could COM
mand $4,000 annually from a score
of corporations, but he prefers to
teach the science he dearly loves.
They were married In April, 1919,
on the thirty-first anniversary of her
parents wedding.

negie girl and her husband are well

She came into many other estates
at her fathers death. The most
important is Skibo Castle. the mag
nificent Scottish domain where, at
the age of six, she met King Edward
VII.
Because of her secluded manner
of living, very few are aware of
her activities and philosophy of life.
She is modest and has grown to

She feels the real secret of hap

fore, her contributions to charities
all over the country assume large
proportions every year.
While the pampered daughters of
the ultra-wealthy hog the headlines,
scamper about the globe and make
spectacular engagements and mar
riages. Carnegie's daughter devotes
her time TO philanthropy and dOmes-
tic duties.
There are many families in Pitts
burgh, original seat of the family

ness. During the war she gave
all her time to charitable work.
In his later years her father
taught her how to administer his
immense fortune and philanthrop-
ical enterprises.
Her romance with Roswell Miller,
son of an old friend of her fathers.
was a quiet and beautiful one.
She first met her future husband
at a social gathering when he was
a naval ensign.
They were mutually attracted and
decided to marry at once instead of

Relief Pitchers Big Help.

TERRY has had to juggle his staff
in half of the last 18 games. Carl
Hubbell, Fred Fitzsimmons and Clydell
Castleman all have been bumped. Roy
Parmelee went the full distance yes
terday against the Phillies, for the
first time since June Is. Good relief
hurting, plus the emergency power In
the batting order, has kept the team
going at victorious pace.
With seven regulars hitting 800 or
better and the club leading the league
in stickwork the Giants no longer can
be regarded as a defensive outfit rely
ing on its pitching staff and the
breaks"
The additional power furnished by
Dick Bartell, Big Hank Leiber, the
blond bomber" and Mark Koenig,
the jack-of all l-infield-trades, has
made New York the most formidable
outfit in either major league.
Not in at least 20 years has any
National League club had a lead the
size of the Giants margin at the ap-
proach of the halfway mark. New
York led by five games at this stage
in 1888, by two games last year. At
the rate they are travelling the Terry
men may rival the runaway of the
1902 Pittsburgh Pirates, who finished
something like 2s games ahead of the
second-place club.

Pitching Staff Is Shot.

THE so-called glorious fourth finds
- Bucky painfully aware of several
facts. Chief among them. of course,
Is the realization that his pitching
staff, as is, is not of big-league
caliber. That was proven only too
conclusively during the terminating
tale of the Griffs' adventures in seven
cities.
For instance, in Washington's last
"a games Harris has seen his pitchers
last the route only seven times. And
only two or these hardy souls tri-
umphed. Leon Petit was victorious
when his mates gave him II runs and
Bump Hadley staggered in behind II
runs. The other five were left in the
box chiefly because no one else was
available-or better.
So if one is to judge by this record
there is not reliable starting pitcher
on the squad at present.
The relief pitchers have been worse,
II possible. Jack Russell hasn't family
resembled the rescuer he was in 1888
Belve Bean was a complete flop and
has been deported Ed Linke so far
has not shown that he belongs in the
big show. Bob Burke must do an
about-face to stick.
Henry Coppola and Red Kress, the
ex-inflelder and outfelder, are pros
poets, but that is about all.

TEAMS POSITION
SHOCK TO HARRIS
May Be Passed Tomorrow
by SeVenth-PIaCe AS.
Prophets Busy.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

~ OSTON, July 3.-In addition
* to a gosh-awful racket from
the kid next door, the usual
- quota of Sunburned backs,
ants on picnic spreads and Fourth Of
July traffic, tomorrow, for some vague
reason, also will herald prophesieS
that 1885 world series will be a
subway series.
1t Is an old American custom, this
habit of looking upon July as leaders
as the world series foes. The custom
doesn't always hold true. But what
of the Griffs?
The legendary base ball day to-
morrow will find the Nationals deep
ly mired in sixth place-or worse.
The next-to-last Athletics have a
chance to pass the Washingtons to-
day and tomorrow. 1t isn't sooth-
ing prospect.
To Manager Bucky Harris, who
tonight will herd his toSsers to Phil
adelphia for the Nationals holiday
double-header, July comes as a
shock. Bucky sincerely had looked
upon his club as a potential winner
of the pennant. Whether he does
now or not-deep in his heart, that
is-Harris doesn't say. But not even
the pleasant prospect of returning
home for a long stay after this ILL
fated jaunt can cause a very great
boost in spirits.

RATE GIANTS SURE
AND YANKSL|KE[Y.
Experts See Tigers as Main
Bar to AII-NeW York
World Series.
BY ANDY CLARKE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

w YORLD series battle lines are
M forming and the experts
Wv predict civil strife.
July has a deep sig
nificance to the dopesters who chart
the trends Of big league clubs and tell
you whittier they are going.
BY Independence day the base ball
season is about half over and the
teams have settled down to their nat
ural strides Their offensive and de-
fensive strength become definitely ap-
parent and their weaknesses either
have become ingrained or erased. The
best teams usually have started their
surge to the fore.
With this axiom in mind, the ex-
perts predict that the world series
will be an all-New York affair.
Giants Have Class.
THE Giants, with healthy lead over
the rest of the National League
teams, have shown both the offensive
and defensive strength to pull out an
easy winner.
They have Hubbell, Parmelee, Fitz-
simmons, Schumacher and others to
throw up very small balls to the oppo-
sition while their own batting list has
become something of murderers' row.
When the pitchers fail, the batters
come through.
In the American League, the ex-
perts hand the gonfalon to the Yam
KEGS, although they are not so positive
about it as they are with the Giants.
Gomez has not shown the box effec-
tiveness Of other years, and Lou
Gehrie is finding it hard to meet the
ball with his old regularity.
Then there is that little matter of
the Detroit Tigers dogging along,
paced by the betting Hank Greenberg
and good pitching staff.
Serves Ninth Victory.
ROY PARMELEE, faltering mem
ber of the Giants pitching staff,
went the route yesterday as the lead
ers defeated the Phillies, to 4. 1t
was the ninth victory for Parmelee,
who had failed in his three previous
starts.
The Brooklyn Dodgers got in the
victory column at the expense of the
tagging Boston Braves, S to O. The
Cardinals climbed back into third
place in the National League by blank
ing the Pittsburgh Pirates, TO, with
Wild Bill Hallahan pitching his first
complete victory of the season.
The Chicago Cubs defeated the Gin
cinnati Reds, 9-3.
In the American League the Yam
KEGS conquered the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, coming from behind to win,
8-5. The Boston Red Sox put on a
five-run rally in the seventh to beat
Washington, 6-5, and the Detroit
Tigers stepped over Cleveland into
second place by defeating the In
dians, 8-3.

Worries Over Cripples.

PITCHING is weighty subject on
Harris mind, but not all of his
troubles. He is submerged in doubt
as to when Jake Powell and Buck
Newsom will be able to play again in
their old form.
In Harris estimation, Powell was
his best all-around outfielder. But
before Jake can play it must be proved
that his injured leg is in no danger
OF relapse. Harris is going to take
no chances with his feet gardener
A severe recurrence of that strangu-
lation of the sciatic nerve in Powell's
leg might have a permanent effect.
So it is going to be caution signal
that Powell will get when he rejoins
the club, probably tomorrow in Phila-
delphia.
Newsomts injury is more of an
open-and-shut case. A fractured
kneecap will heal and he will be as
good as new. But around the talka-
tive mound ace hangs the question:
How soon will he be able to get his
arm in shape?
Glorious Fourth? Not much for
Bucky Harris.

the second successive day before the
Red Sox. For six innings Linke was
great. Only two hits-one homer by
Babe Dahlgren-had been gained of
his offerings and the Nationals held
a 5-to-1 lead going into the seventh.
Then came the blow-up, which is
becoming characteristic with all the
Washington hurlers. Three straight
hits, two Of them homers by Bing
Miller and Bill Werber, made it S to
4 and finished Linke
Jack Russell was rushed into the
fray. And two more runs were rushed
over by the Bosox before the side was
retired.
There was the old ball game. So
the Griffs today find themselves four
and one-half games back Of the Red
Sox as they 60 into their series finale.

He was wearing it when he came
out on the field of Palmer Stadium

nels. After the race the hat was
missing.
Wiebestick said he was in the
stands and that when Lovelock
won some one yelled something to
the effect Lovelock's hat was on
the ground. There was a scramble
for it, with Wiebestick emerging
the victor. He took it home and
put it on the mantelpiece as q

Shadows on the National.
NTHILE warm scramble was taking
w place in the heavyweight di-
vision, at Poughkeepsie, at Muirfield
and at Wimbledon, the dark shadow
of the Giants continued to extend its
length in the National League pen
nant race.
Two weeks ago one of the veteran
managers Of the league made this
remark:
by the middle of July or by
the first of August the race in
our league will be over.
I'VE haven't a ball club that can
compete with Bill Terry's Giants.
They not only have too much pitch
ing, but too much of everything else.
Terry has one Of the best ball clubs
I ever saw, one of the strong outfits
of all time. I can't remember any
club that ever had as much good
pitching"
How about Plank. Bender and
Coombs of the old Athletics?" I
asked.
That adds up only three" the some
what somber manager said. Terry
has six or seven, and they are all
good starting pitchers. None of us
can afford to lose good pitcher and
be anywhere at all. Terry can lose
two and not have to bother. He also
has a fine infield and a star outfield.
1T wouldn't surprise me to see the
Giant dozen games in front by the
middle of July"
The Giants opened July with lead
almost as long as cannon can shoot.
The one thing that might bring them
back to the fading fold is overconfi-
dence This is not likely to develop
after what happened last September,
when seven game lead blew up in a
few weeks.
THAT" Bill Terry says, "hap-
pened once, but it isn't going to
happen again. You can write
that down."
The Cardinals were rated the one
team with a chance, and when the two
Deans slipped a number of notches
below 1884, small hope was left for any
hot pursuit.

L are the last white hope. Go

That, at least, is the way Mr. Levin
sky explains his challenge to the
brown bomber a challenge which was
accepted so fast that you'd think the
bomber was anxious, even eager, to
meet the deadly Kingfish. The boys
will come together in Chicago this
August. There seems to be no doubt
of the issue, for the King admits that
he will batter the dark destroyer into
