A Glimpse Of
Sen. Lewis

In the heat of the midday
sun, Senator James Hamilton
Lewis sat in the tonneau of his
limousine yesterday, looking
cool and at peace with the
world. The only sign which
might have belied this was the
fact that his leghorn hat was
turned up sharply in the front.
He wore a Palm BEACH suit.
The genial Senator had just
arrived from Chicago, and
within a few days will be
h a de d for New England,
where he will speak at several
rallies in New York, Massa-
chusetts and Maine. Then on
to his own estate in Illinois and
campaigning until the Fall.
Mrs. Lewis also is in town for
a brief visit, having come from
a sojourn in the South.

Yankees Need
0n|Y0neWin

The yankees meet the Indians in
a doubleheader at Cleveland today
with a chance to bag the pennant
on the earliest date in American
League history, leaving the rest Of
the proposition entirely to the
Giants if the world series is to be
an all-New York affair for the first
time since 1923.
Inasmuch as the Yankees need
only one victory in their Is remain.
ing games to become champions,
there was no necessity to score it
today.
Giants Play Reds Twice
The Giants went into the final
throes against the Reds in a double
header today at the Polo Grounds.
A single game is scheduled tomor-
row.
Then will come the Cubs, who
are third, six games out Of the
lead; the Cards, second by five,
and the Pirates, followed by hys-
terra if the Giants continue as
they are going now. The Giants
can clinch the pennant by the
time they windup three games
with the Cards in a double header
Sunday, and the customers have
found it out. For the Sabbath at
traction the park was sold to ca
pacity of $1,000 as early as yeSter-
day, and Giants officials were
busy today mailing cash back to
the overflow.
The Giants play their remain
ing games in the East and most
of them at the Polo Grounds with
the opposition to be provided as
follows:
Reds, three games; Cubs,
two; Pirates, two; Cards, three;
PhiIs, three; Bees, three, and
Dodgers, five, for q total Of FL.
The Cards and Cubs both have
to complete Eastern tours, con-
tributing to long road trips be-
fore they get back in their own
parks.
Cards Have Fl Games Left
The Cards 81 remaining games
are: Bees, two; Dodgers, four;
Giants, three; Phils, two; Pirates,
two; Reds, two, and Cubs, six,
with doubleheaderS crowded to-
gether for the immediate present.
Nineteen games are left for
the Cubs-Phils, threes Giants,
two; Dodgers, three: Bees, two;
Pirates, one; Reds, two, and
Cards, six.
The Cards and Cubs face a dis
tinct obstacle to the plans of
both In those half-dozen games
between themselves, while the
Giants get little solace from the
fact that they stiil have to meet
the Dodgers five times.
It was they who knocked the
Giants out in 1884, in answer to
Bill Terrv's now bromide query
relative to whether they still
were in the league.

A price tag of $4,000 advanced
Johnny Marcum to the big leagues
in 1888. Connie Mack, of the
Philadelphia AS put out" the
sum and realized he had a real
pitcher a year or so later when
the youngster began winning ball
games right and left.
His "big" game of his early
career was a victory over School
boy Rowe, of the Tigers, in 1884.
This game stopped Rowe'S win
streak, which had reached 16
straight games.
Johnny is now with the Boston

FISHING
According to Izaak Walton
Late special-BooCAP

The fish in Chesapeake Bay will
probably need q week to get over
the effects Of what was probably
the noisiest weekend they ever
spent. The waters Of the Bay as
well as it's tributaries were liter
ally churned up with boats Of the
fishing and pleasure variety and
to the best Of our knowledge most
of the larger members Of the finny
tribe went into hiding, for few
were caught.
Sunday we sailed forth to
South River to try our luck and
arrived early. Within an hour
this quiet spot became a mad
house of speeding craft and the
fish retired promptly. We did,
however, have at the end of q
whole days fishing goodly mess
of toothsome spot, all in a state of
infancy, and one weakfish or
trout that took our bait in a des-
perate effort to get away from the
noise. Even the eels were scarce
and we only landed two. That,
however, was the good news.
Try Hand At Greek
Monday we drove to Piscataway
Creek to try our hand at large
mouth black bass fishing. About
fifteen boats were out and all
of us cast until our soup bones
were lame but no bass rose to grab
our lures and if they had we are
sure they would have been fried
before reaching the surface. In
short, it was too burned hot and
we will have to wait until cooler
weather before casting will be prof
liable.
Speaking of salt water; the first
reaction, of the common every day
