TALES ABOUT RAY BATES ROWDY ERA RETURNS TO DIAMOND RAY CALDWELL DOES IRON MAN STUNT DUMBARTON A WIN Georgetown Takes Four Out TWICE VICTORIOUS Wins Singles and Then Helps to Land in Doubles. Babe Ruth's assault upon Umpire Owens at Boston yesterday is but one of several such scenes on the diamond this year and many believe that the rowdy era has returned to the national game. McGraw's fight with Umpire Byron was the first and recently a San Francisco pitcher chased another player to the bench with a bat. Great stuff! Ray Caldwell, the Yankees' tall twirler, is the first big leapier in several moons to succeed in winning a double-header all by himself.

He turned this trick yesterday against the Mackmen. With double-headers coming to many clubs this season, it is possible that some other twirler will equal the record before the curtain falls.

PHILADELPHIA, June 24. Miss Molla BJurstedt, the Tennis Title Trust, cams through with a rush In the final rounds of the women's Funeral Was Fhrrer. or LOUIS A. DOCGIIER. Mr William Oat attended the Georgia avenue ball yard yesterdsy.

It was bad enough for him to have been Invited. Sure, he turned down the Invitation, but that made no difference. He attended on the end of a rope. When he got there he found a nob of folks, all home folks, too, sitting around looking wise and warm. Most of them were munching peanut.

The reat were drinking pop. A bunch of guys attired In regulation baaeball uniforms were going through the motions. Another bunch were dolled up In flowing white silk robes. Still another bunch looked like the Sultan's pet bodyguard. William Is Afraid.

Mr. Oat became frightened at ths weird uniforms He became still more alarmed when an unholy anthem was started by the gents In the flowing white robes and a parade began. Gee, he was frightened. So he ran away. But Mr.

Oat had been Invited and ao a scramble ensued. That pestiferous gink In the high hat Anally caught Mr. Oat and kissed him. Then everybody, the whole darn In the stands, roarded with laughter. And Henry Lansburgh.

disguised aa the chief executioner of the Sultan's harem, came along, toting the most savage looking tulwar ever seen in all the world. No wonder Mr. William C. Ooat was frightened. So he ran away again.

Bempe Iato Grotto. This time Mr. Oaf bumped right into the other gang and was received with a blare of bugles and many thumps on the old bass drum. And that gink in the high hat captured him again. And so it went all day long.

Mr. Oat, who at home Is most calm and considerate, had a terrible time amid all the noise. He didn't event have a chance to see the Shrine wallop HUdebrand for three tallies In the first. Somebody was yanking on the PDe-. 4 -ti He dldnt even "see "Moose" MeCar- thy pole a home run Into left field and almost perish of exhaustion before he landed at the home plate.

Then He's Kldnepped. Then, to make matters worse, 'William G. Oat, a calm, friendly sort of a person, was kidnaped, right out there on the field. They took him over to the side where the white-robed noise-makers were, am) then out to the sun-ay part of the field where one of the fat boys was playlns baseball. Along came an ambulance.

A physician hopped out, looked at Mr. Oat's tongue and ordered him to the hospital Into the ambulance they bundled him. much against his will, and away they all went helter-skelter. Everybody laughed everybody but Mr. Oat.

He couldn't see anything to laugn at. Then He's Dead. Then, after a while, they decided that he was dead. That's the way It looked to a chap way up near the roof of the stand. Anyway, that funeral march pro ceeded around the field and Oat was duly burled with becoming ceremonies of the grotto.

At the last moment, just befo-i this thing was sent to the gen'Vinanly typesetters in the back room, William G. Oat came Into the sport room and spoke as follows. Say, brother, that's all wrong, all wrong about my being burled. We thought we were burying the shrine, but they came up In the tenth and trimmed us. So plesse correct that thing about the burial.

Yes, and please ssy that I'll never attend any more ball games between the Grotto and the Shrine never again. So there, now. PLAYING EXHIBITION Grlffmen Don't Even Rest When Sunday Comes Around. BOSTON', June 24 The Grlffmen are playing an exhlbtlon Karri at North Groversdale, Conn, today. Eddie Foster Injured a flngr on Tnla thrnwfnr hmrf trvlni.

tn new between second ard hlrd in the xirsi game joe ieonsra was put Into the game as Eddie could not continue. John Henry came mighty near hitting ssfely in the ninth Inning of the first game, a great catch by Lewis of his low drive to short left, robbing him of a hit. will be another double-header Monday. Geo Dumont will pitch one for the Grlffmen and maybe portslder Harrv Harper will ease into the other. Mays Is down to pitch for the chami-ions and the other performer will be "Two Pairs' Bader, who is a besr at filling them up.

Ruth has been crabbing all year. Owens held up his end well. It Is Just as well for Babe that he did not try to get gay with the arbiter elsewhere. When Brick hits you they say, there Is nothing left to do but page the coroner. Locally there la much Interest In Griff's scheme in behslf of the soldiers et si.

Several committees and Individuals are booming it along here. Morgan who was pasted by Ruth In the. first Inning- of the first gsine was snared trying to steal second Toy Battling Agusw. BOSTON, June 24. It was some afternoon at Mr.

Fraxee's ball yard, that Is. for the local folks, there being ab solutely nothing about the twin bill that Interested Griff and his Grlffmen to any maddening extent, unless It was that effort of "Gee Babe" Buth, the white hope of Ivy street, to permanently erase Brick Owens, the dashing arbiter. Ernie Shore pitched no-hlt, no-run. no-man reach flrst-bsse game, but as that was on the Grlffmen they did not go into ecstasies over It. Locsly It ia regarded aa the greatest thing that has hsppehed stnee the nlsbt the tea was thrown Into the drink.

The Grlffmen were blanked twice. 4 to 0, in the curtain raiser and 3 to 0 In the after piece. It would have been 4 to 0 In the second game, too, had the Red Sox not gathered three hits In the eighth Inning and running up another run that they did not need, and also spoiling some pretty para graphs thst some smsrt local parag raph ers had written concerning two 4-tc-0 games. These ball players are always gumming up something. They should have savea that fifth run until tomorrow, as they may need It then.

Too Slneh Control. Doc Ayers pitched In the first game. He had great control, the IUd Sox banging him for nine hits. Doc had too much control. It seemed.

In the second bill a similar number of hits were assembled off old "Chain Lightning Johnson, the Kansas Cyclone, as they call him in our suburbs. Getting back to "Gee Babe" Ruth-It was In the first that the best two-handed puncher In the Fenway ran amuck. He aald that Owens had missed two on him, and told him to keep his eyes open. Brick told him that he was crabbing early, and If he did not get back and pitch he would run him out. "You run me out and I will bust you In the nose," said Babe, 'who is al- waya roost particular about his grammar.

"Tou are out now," said Brick, and then Babe rushed In. Thomas being unable to prevent him from starting the stuck. Ills Right Landed. He swung twice, his left missing, but bis right landed behind Brick's port s'. ear.

The blow did not hurt Owens, but Ruth had to be dragged off the -Afield, while the soldiers. peasants, et all, groaned, and. well they might, for It now appears that after Ban writes a supreme court de cision. Babe will be nothing more than a mere spectator at the ball games for some time. It would serve him right If Harry Fraxee made him pay his way In, too.

Shore pitched brilliantly. Two good catches by Lewis, a one handed pick up by Scott and a smart play by Barry helped the Carolinian a lot. He waa In rare form-Morgan Only One. Morsan was the only man to reach first in the opening encounter, being passed by Ruth, but in the second grapple the Senators got on frequent ly, but could not get around, going runless In the first, although tney made three hits off Leonard. Hooper's throw to Gardner got Morgan trying to reach third from first on Milan's hit Milan and Rice made several neat catches and Morgan did some good work at second base, but with the stick the Grlffmen were not there.

PHILADELPHIA, June 21. Charlie Herzog, acting: manager of the Giants, today denied a story from New York that he contemplated quit tins the team because of Insubordina tion on the part of some of the other players.

"Why should I qultt" said Hersog-. The club Is groins; good and the players are hustling harder than ever to win. They are my friends, and I have had no trouble with them since taking charge. We have won nine and lost three games since McGraw was suspended which Is a good record. Why should I qultr Herzog believes that the rumor spread abroad in New York yesterday was for the purpose of upsetting the Giants and keeping them from winning.

PHU CARTER SCORES AT LABOULIE LINKS Young New York Golfer Gets 72 In First Attempt. That the war has not caused a cessation of golf In France Is proved by a letter received from Phil Carter, the young man who recently left New-York for the front with the Yale unit. Carter arrived safely in Paris, and shortly afterward had an opportunity of making a round of La Boulle links. which be did In 72. This Is the course where Francis Oulmet won the French open championship In 1914.

and Incidentally the professional In charge la one Ives Botcazon. the one-armed player who not so long ago Issued a challenge to Louis Martuccl, the one-armed professional at the South Orange Field Club. Carter arrived In Paris at the ssme time as General Pershing. He has been taken In hand by six one-armed players, who Insist that this brand of golf la the coming style in Europe. Phil reports that there are plenty of them at the present' time, and and says that they putt better than many of those with the usual quota of arms.

steadiness enabled Dumbarton to achieve a well-won victory over Columbia's tennis experts yesterdsy, the score being 8 to 4. In singles tha Georgetown players took four of the six matches contested, while Columbia won two out of three In the doubles. The result came as a surprise to the knowing ones, who had figured out Columbia as a sure winner. Henry Breck. the auburn-haired, and "Hub" Shannon hung up victories for Columbia In the singles, but Lewis, Gore, Candor, and Herrlck proved too much for their opponents.

It's dollars to wooden doughnuts that he will not handle It aa Tener did his squabble with McGraw. Babe Ituth. for assaulting an umpire on the field, will probably draw a month's vacation and suffer a heavy fine.

He's to get this punishment, even if It causes the defeat of the Red Sox In the pennant race. And there won't be any scandal arising from the affair, either no hot air from Ruth or Barry or Fraiee. If there Is. out of the league will go the three of them Ruth's fiery temper will very likely prove most costly to the champions. The Red Sox need him on the slab, hot on the bench.

It Is true that the umpiring this season Is worse than merely bad. but the players should remember that they cannot win games while sitting on the bench. The umpires will banish them on the slightest provocation Manager Barry has but three pitchers left for a series of double-headers requiring twice that number It's ssfe to ssy that one such act by Ruth will be his last. He will have plenty of time to think things over after he has paid his fine. With baseball players not exempt from the selective draft, we are certain to see some funny looking major league outfits In another year.

Some of those now In the line-up are sure to be tsken. Their pieces will have to be filled, and filled with the veriest bushers. With many minor leagues going out of business next month, the country will be flooded with baseball players of a kind. Some will be drafted Into the army and the others will be knocking at the door of the big leagues. And If the baseball becomes poor enough.

Interest will die down and the circuits will quit Nice outlook for the megnaten. whose real estate taxes will continue oh Just the same. Tom Jones opines that his discharge by Jess Wlllsrd may hate been "sheer penurlousness." Riley Wilson, Washington's greatest funny man. never told "Demon" Church one as funny as that. Jones has been mixed up with wrestlers and boxers for many years, yet In all that time he has yet to pert with his original thin dime.

Wlllsrd may not be a spendthrift, but he has Tom Jones beaten to death for blowing In money. Hear how Alex Cunningham, of Wheellnsr. W. lost out In the open tourpey at Whltemarsh. though his 74 for the first round led the field Too much news of whst the others were doing Is blsmed for Cunningham's defeat- Alex stsrted off on the second round In good style, but pretty soon well-meaning friends tlDDed him that Eddie Loos! formerly of Charlotte.

N. C-. was breaking all records behind him Alex had a three-stroke edge over Loos at the beirlnnlnir- but this margin rapidly dwindled and dwindled until It was gone When the match ended Loos led Cunningham. It doesn't psy In golf to know too much about what your opponent Is doing. If you study the team batting In the American League It must dawn upon you that the teams thst hit generally take the honors.

For Instance, this past week's figures show the White Sox In front, followed by the Browns and the Red Sox. New York Is a close fourth Combining flleldlng with hitting, and It Is seen why the Brown lee, tied with the Red Sox at .240 in hitting, are far down in the race. Their fielding mark Is absolutely last. On the other hand, the Boston national tournament on tha courts of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, St. Martins, yesterday afternoon before a large and enthusiastic gallery.

As an appetiser the Norse girl won the singles championship for the third successive year, defeating Miss Marlon Vanderhoef, of New York, In the final match, two sets to one, 4-6, 0-0. 6-2. Then, playing with more life and dash than she had displayed In the singles. Miss BJurstedt and her part ner, Irving wnght, of Boston, an nexed the mixed doubles crown by vanquishing Miss Florence Ballln, New York, and W. T.

Tllden. 2d. of this city, two sets to one. by the curious score of 10-12, 6-1. 6-3.

Finally, just to finish the thing up right, she distributed most of the American Beauty roses presented to her by a thoughtful committee to the many young girls wh oare so much In evidence the St. Martins Club. it was certainly a great day for the sturdy Norse girl, and she never plsyed better tennis than she displayed In the final match, the climax of a long and uninterrupted week of successive competition. The point score of the singles tells an Interesting story, revealing how hard Miss Vanderhoef had to work for most of the games she won and how easy were a majority of those credited to Miss BJurstedt: FIRST SET. Miss Vanderhoef 4304SS482 6 11 Miss BJurstedt 054273164 438 4 SECOND 8ET.

Miss BJurstedt (MM 6 2s 6 Miss Vanderhoef 3 3 13 0 3130 THIRD SET. Miss BJurstedt 14 4 4 4 4 0 8 35 6 4 0 0 12 6 7 3232 and Chicago clubs rank high In fielding. Never mind the Grlffmen in this discussion. Looking at Sam Crane's batting average of .179, one sees why Sam Is now with the Minn. spoils club and why Joe Leonard, with .133, will soon follow him.

.184 would put him on the dangerous seat, were It not that George's brains are needed with the club. No big league Inflelder, unless of superlstlve fielding skill and allied with a hard hltlng aggregation, can hold on, when he can't reach. 200. This goes for Lawry, of the Mack-men; Evans, of the Indians; Rlsberg. or the White Sox, Guisto, of the Indians; Witt, of the Mackmen: Turner, of the Indians, and Burns, of the Tigers.

Somebody else Is doing their work, or It Isn't being done. If they fall to get going, Washington fans are likely to foreet the n. Istence of the Grlffmen before July 24. If the team can manage to hit a win. nlng streak, rapidly climbing In the oaiiy stanaings.

they will not lack for support. But Waahlne-ton hai soured on the old army yell of "Walt till next year." That used to satisfy. nevermore, xne only way for the team to obtain support at Georgia aenue Is to play winning ball. No excuse will be accepted by the fans. They are tired of the old stuff.

From everywhere come comments by baseball writers on the National League altuatlon arising from the whitewashing of John J. "Muggsy" McGraw, manager of the Glanta. Here'a a aarcastlc bit from Robert W.

Maxwell, sports editor of the Philadelphia Evening Ledger: Aa an antUllma with all tha fancy trimmings, recommend us to the denouement of the McGraw episode. The Giants' well-known peppery manager was fined and suspended by President Tener, following which a broadside Journalistic outburst appeared. In which Preesldent Tener was lambasted, vilified, and defied. Then came the special meetlm; of league directors called for the purpose of seeing what might be their attitude toward the decision of the lesgue president In punishing the Giant manager for his assault on Umpire Byron and b.s variously reported verbal assaults upon the league's chief. "One of the bloodiest little encounters was predicted since the Germans were forced back at Verdun.

But did It come across according to schedule? Hardly. Instead of the hand gTtn-nde. the liquid fire and the asphyxiating gases. Mr. McGraw sent in through the malls a sweetly scented missive.

He not only didn't say any thing off color about Mr. Tener, he declared, but he hadn't even read the rough stuff. He hadn't even thought anything naughty about tha league boss, and If he had, he wouldn't have told a lot of Imaginative and mall-clous newspaper scribes. The whole thing waa a practical Joke at his ex pense, and he was mighty sorry about It. "Moral: Never talk to the poor newspsper guys at all.

They are look ing for opportunities to get other peo ple In trouble and to have themselves shown up as fabricators. This applies especially to partisan reportera like the flock of New Tork serlbs wbo personally staked their reputations for veracity upon the now branded rake Interviews with the mild msnner-ed and much-slandered Mr McGraw."
