BY JUDSON BAILEY,

Their heroes took a series from
the Cincinnati Reds over the week

Casey weakened to permit three
doubles in the overtime installment.
Brooklyn had tied in the ninth.
The Dodgers wiped out a 3-run
lead in the ninth of the second
game. too, when Babe Phelps
doubled with the bases loaded, and
then proceeded to win, 9-8, in the
11th.
Giants Win Fifth in Row.
st. Louis Cardinals won the
nightcap of doubleheader at Phil
adelphia, Al, after losing the first,
5-4, in II innings.
The New York Giants ran their

7-3 and Sd double triumph over
the Pittsburgh Pirates, who now
have lost five straight.
The Chicago Cubs and Boston
Bees divided their bill, the Bees

the second, 5-3, in six innings. The
nightcap was called because of Sun
day law in the last of the Seventh.
The New York Yankees completed
their Western tour with two victories
at st. Louis, 9-5 and ST., giving the
champions a record of eight wins
and two losses for the trip.
Tribe Reaches Third Place.

Joe Kuhel's homer with one on in
the ninth won for Chicago, Us, in
the first game. A couple of timely
triples by Jim Tabor helped the
Red Sox to take the nightcap, 4-3.

Hitchcock Leads Wdy

NEW YORK, June 12.--At an age
when most athletes are content to
paste up scrapbooks, Tommy Hitch
cock still is doing an honest imita-
ton of Tennyson's brook-the one
that went on and on.
Tommy never will see the sunny
side of 40 again, but if you study
the play-by-play account of yester-
days second, and clinching. match
of the international polo series with
the British, you find the story of
Americas S ga triumph is wrapped

Americans Call on Team Play.
The Americans called on team
play, with Hitchcock the hub
around which the victory spun, to
carry them to an easy triumph in
match that makes next Sundays
battle merely an excuse for the
horsey set (there were some 81 900
in that category yesterday to sun
themselves at beautiful old West
bury.
They'll play-and hard-but the
cup is safe again since yesterdays
victory was the second straight,
Hitchcock & Co. having won the
opener week ago by Ill.
1t was in the seventh chukker
that Hitchcock hitched up his game
to the heights that have made him
the star of every international series
since the war The Americans then
were leading, 6-3. and the issue still
a trlf1e in doubt, but when the
chukker ended the Americans were
out in front, 9-3. The cup was safe
and so was Hitchcock's reputation
as the best in the business.
Hitchcock Hits for Three.
He made his first score in that
chukker after taking a pretty pass
from Winston Guest. Then he came
through with follow shot after
Mike Phipps had missed directly in
front of the goal and his third was
a sensational angle shot near the
sideboards.
Tommy also proved his worth asa
team player when he set up shots
for Phipps, who scored three times.
and thus made the "co-ordination"
angle of the victory an important
part of the story.
Before the series started there
was some doubt expressed that such
four bang-up offensive aces as
Hitchcock, Phipps, Guest and Stew
Iglehart would form well-oiled unit
and most of those fears were realized
in the first game week ago.
The game, remarkably clean,
marked the 18th straight triumph
scored by the defenders since they
regained the cup in 1921.

OLD TELEPHONE DISPLAY

Tuesday evening one OF the at
fractions at the opera house was the
story Of Alexander Graham Bell,
giving the account of the invention
Of the telephone. In the opera house
lobby, number of telephones were
on display, including perhaps the
first telephone ever in use in the
county, which connected Abel's mill
with Abel home. 1t was sort of a
wooden box arrangement, with a
plain wire running from one phone
to the other. The receiver and
transmitter were one and the same,
and the wire was not electrically
charged. Other models on display
were different types of the old wall
telephones, one of which was oper-
ated by vitrolitic batteries, before
dry cells were used, and also dis
played was one of the very latest
models. One model missing, was
the ''Drake Selector" type, which
was the forerunner of the present
dial system. This system was pat
ented by the late Tom Drake OF
Malta, after it had been worked out
by Mr.. Drake and the late Alfred
Durbin of this place.
