LADIES' NIGHT
BY BILL WHITE

NEW YORK, July 6.-(Pe
You can safely razz politicians,
ham actors, the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers or your golf partner-but
it isn't safe to kid the ladies'.
They don't like it.
In a thoughtless moment re.
Gently we wrote a piece that Ia
dies go to baseball games pri-
marily to discuss fashions and
bargains, and that they neither
know nor care much about the
game.
Witness now our "fan mail"
Of the past week:
"Dear Dope:
I'VE just read your story on
ladies day. How could you be so
stupid? I can quote batting av-
erages, lifetime records and case
histories Of most of the big
leaguers and I might throw in a
few statistics on the Texas
league. I'm an average woman
fan 80"
Another admirer writes:
"You Lug
The other day I sat next to a
man who thought a batter was
out If the fielder caught a fly
on the second bounce. And you
say women don't know baseball.
Why, I'll bet I could tell you a
thing OF two 80"
An excerpt from a third billet
doux:
whats so criminal about
women talking fashions at ball
games when all the men talk
about is politics and golf scores?"
But the one we memorized was
this: .
Your ladies day story was very
good. I laughed myself sick and
though I've never been to a
game 1 know you're right. Love,
Mother"

was successfully defended by Tus-
kegee Institute of Alabama with IS
points. The Cleveland combine had
46 1-3 for runner-up honors.

DANNINC HOLDING.
LEAD in NATIONAL
Giants Great Catcher Also
Tops Runs-B atted-l
Department

NEW YORK, July 6.-R-The
National leagues top pitchers
have succeeded in quieting Harry
Danning's thunderous bat a trifIe
but they still can't make 1t be-
have.
That's why the Giants great
catcher is still leading the leagues
batsmen, with a smart .351 aver
age. Last week he boosted a 1915
percentage, but that three-game
series with the Dodgers cut into
that sharply. Not sharply enough,
however, to suit Merrill May whose
rise from fifth to second was good
but not good enough to surpass
banning. May has a mark of 1886.
banning also leads in another
department-the important runs
batted in division. He has scored
81 Of his mates, or five more than
have been driven home by Elbie
Fletcher of the Pirates and Johnny
Mize of the Cardinals.
Linus Frey of Cincinnati is the
only other two-time champ in the
league. He has scored the most
runs-51, and has stolen the most
bases-11.
Babe Herman of the Cubs has
the most hits, his 81 being 10
more than second place Burgess
Whitehead of the Giants can show
And Babes teammate, Stan Hack
leads in doubles. with 20 to give
the Cubs a pair of head Of the
class" performers.
Chef Ross has socked the most
triples-13, but Johnny Mize is still
the distance hitter-his 81 home
runs being 10 better than either
Harry banning or Elbie Fletcher
can claim.
The Cubs other star performer
in the weeks list is young Jack
Mooty, whose SO pitching record
is the best in the league. Next TO
him comes Freddie Fitzsimmons of
the Dodgers with seven won and
one lost.

DOUBLE BY HAYES
WHIPS YANKS 81
AS Tie Score At TAI In Last
Of Ninth And Win In
Overtime Frame

PHILADELPHIA, July 6-R-A
rousing double by frankie Hayes
off the left field screen that scor-
ed Benny Mccoy gave the Phil
adelphia AS an 81 victory today
over the New York Yankees.
Mccoy and Dick Seibert were
on base when Hayes punched out
the blow. The official scorer al
first decided the blow as a homer
and awarded Philadelphia tn e
game by a 1917 margin. Later he
changed his mind and decided that
Hayes was to be credited only with
a two base hit enough to score
Mccoy with the winning run.
The Athletics tied the score al
Tall in the last half Of the ninth,
touching Bump Hadley, the losing
pitcher, for two runs. When he
walked Mccoy in the 10th he was
replaced by Johnny Murphy.
Bob johnson then grounded out
and Siebert was purposely passed
setting the stage for Hayes
blow.
Bill Beckman, who relieved Buck
Ross at the start of the 10th was
credited with his first victory OF
the year. The Yanks stayed in the
ball game largely through a pair
of homers by Babe Dahlgren and
one by Charley Keller.

tackles the E. ". Godwin's Sons club
of the same loop in a double-header.
No admission will be charged, but a
collection will be taken to defray the
expenses of bringing the Dunn team
here.
In the first of yesterdays games,
TIC. suffered stage fright for a
couple of innings. Its hurler,
Creep" Stokley, was wild, the in
field ragged. Four run crossed with
only one safe blow being tailed. In
the second, triples by 6. Parker and
r. Sewell plus three walks found an
other four runs crossing to make it
8 to 0 for the National Guard outfit.
One run and one hit in the sixth
and two runs and four hits IN the
seventh ended the affair with a
score of II to 8 against the league
pacing Creosoters.
The fifth started well for the To-
Gals. Both Ed. Flora and Smith
hunted safely. But Julian McKeith-
an lined to short, who caught Flora
off at second, and second lined to
first, catching Stokley off, to COM
plete a beautiful triple play.
Gus Parkers catch of Gerald Stok-
1ey's liner to right in the sixth was
a show-piece. TIC. with only four
hits against II for Dunn proved n
visiting club more powerful at the
plate. Their heads-up ball In the
first and second games accounted for
the Creosoters' undoing. Creosoter
runs, all banked up in the third, hap
n as a result Of assorted ball
playing.
McKeithan singled, a walk and an
error and a general let down in the
alright defense of the Dunn lads
slipped in three scores.
