0 LATES si a Grays mm wirier Local Team Holds Helpless The Americans struck a snag yes- terday at Newfleld Park. It was old Bob Spald of Providence who pitched one of the best games seen here In years. He had the locals swinging In all directions at his shine ball which was one of the reasons they were whitewashed by the Grays to the tune of 8-0. Another was because the Grays pounder Ferguson for 14 hits, which, aided by four errors, made at critical moments, netted the Visitors eight runs. Only one local man reached second and third, this being Casserly, who stole both bases In the ninth.

Spald fanned six of the locals, while Ave of the Grays hit the air. The Grays started lri the first. Brau-' son hit the second ball pitched to left for a sack, stole second and went to third when Casserly failed to take the throw from Skiff on his steal. Eddie Eayrs then worked the squeee play, Brauson scoring while Lai threw Eddie out at first. The scoring stopped until the 'fourth when the Grays scored three tallies.

Sweat fanned as a startm but Eayrs beat out a bunt. He a5 vanced to second on Dameron's safe i blow to left. Donahue scored Eayrs I and Dameron with a three base wal-' lop over Sherwood's head. Donahue registered on McNeill's Texas Leaguer to left The Grays were held In checto In the fifth but scored one In the sixth. Eayrs again Btarted the tumble with an Infield hit and reached second on Dameron's one base Donahue scored Eayrs with a single to center, Oameron stopping at second.

Hauser got an Infield, hit, filling the bases. Here the Americans showed their only sign Cf life when they made a fast double play. Gearln hit to H. F. Baker who threw to Skiff, forcing Cameron at home.

Skiff three too late to get Gearin at first, but Donahue was out at home when he tried to score on the throw to Grimes, Grimes to Skiff. The visitors made their last runs In the seventh. paid fanned tout Brauson singled to center. Sweatt hit to H. F.

Five innings later they hung up another tally, so that the, final re sult of the second meeting of the present series between the league leaders and the runners up resulted in a victory for Mitchell's men by a score of 6 to 1. Poll did not go the route against the Cubs. He retired in the fifth and Fred Anderson, who succeeded him, was nicked for the sixth run registered by the Windy City outfit, though It was an unearned tally.

Phil Douglas, who has come back in fine shape, following an operation which oAfeS underwent this spring, baffled the plains wiuii csuaiutJiy ull piiuiu really deserved a shut out over Mc-Graw's clan. Twenty-two thousand fans saw the game, and for lack of accommodations it was necessary to put about 3,000 of them on the field.

1 1 2 14 3 2 1 3 0 Colonials Are Winners Over World Champions New Haven, July Weiss' Colonial outfit themselves a real ball club yesterday afternoon at the Lighthouse Point grounds, and after a merry nine inning tilt with the World's champion Chicago Whjte Sox emerged winners by a 4 to 3 score. The fans were treated to one of the-best games seen on a local field in many a day, for the game combined good hitting, snappy fielding and flashy base-running, with a few" er rors mixed in, the whole forming a concoction that had the fans on edge most of the game. Fisher, former star Yankee boxman, was on the mound for the Colonials, and he pitched a masterly game from start to finish, the sixth inning, when the Sox hit on his deliv-i ery for four hits being the only time during the game that he showed signs of weakening. Opposing him was Helfrich, who although not one of the regulars of the Chicago pitching staff, gets Into the game frequently, and shows enough stuff to keep on the regular payroll. He, too, twirled In good style, and to him alone cannot be laid the blame for his team's defeat.

The batting features of the game Were furnished by Hal Pumpelly, Whose timely three-bagger in the seventh put across the first run for the local "boys, and Bobby Orr, who swatted Helfrich's delivery for a pair of hits, the second one starting the eighth inning roll that spelled defeat for Chicago. "Buck" Weaver was the leading hitter for the Windy City getting two hits, both of the timely variety. Several players par-; tlctpated in gathering the fielding honors, jjrobably the test work Ibeing done iby Catcher Flaherty of the Colonials, who caught both Eddie Collins and J. Collins at the plate in the eighth inning and saved the game. 1 Ray Fisher stopped two hot ones in the first inning that were labeled hits, and Orr nabbed a elzzler off Eddie Collins' bat in the fifth iby Jumping high In the air.

The lineup of the White Sox was almost the same that they use in regular league games. Gandil was not in action On first, but the Initial station was ably guarded by J. Collins, who alternates with him at that position. Ray Schalk didn't catch, but otherwise the lineup was the same as usual, Murphy, Leibold. the two Collins and Weaver playing the whole game.

There were also some slight changes in the Colonial lineup, Nash being unable to come and Orr taking his place, and Pumpelly played right field in place of Connolly, the ex-Bos ton star. Taken as a whole, how ever, everything was satisfactory, and if anyone kicked on the game he is indeed a hard one to please. The score: Colonials. ah. r.

July 8 Former Governor of Pennsylvania John K. Tener, president of the National Baseball League, who is here to- at tend the Tlsk convention, yesterday afternoon discussed the work or fight order as it applies to baseball more fully than he has heretofore. He referred particularly to the action of the Forth Worth, Texas, local draft board in notifying -Roger Hornsby, shortstop of the St. Louis Nationals, that unless he engaged in some new essential production he would be placed in Class Al and his dependency claim would be ignored. In the interview given at the Ho.tel Traymore, Mr.

Tener coined a phrase new in the acute situation baseball finds itself. It is "Moral and spiritual production," and he applied it as a term describing what league baseball gives to society. In part he said: "If there can be such a thing as a moral and spiritual production, and I believe there Is, it describes exactly what 1 mean. Simply because what baseball produces is Intangible I do not think it can be called non-essential or non-productive.
