Whoever said this was an old man's game must have had his signals crossed." There were rumors at Oakmont last Frldov that Von Elm would turn professional.

George Vehemently denied that of the game. Manager Artie Fletcher directs in advance what his defense shall do when the enemy has a man on first and third and there Is the sllnbtest reason to anticipate a sln-sle or double steal. That Is, in some ways, an excellent system because It tends to avoid the confusion which is so lamentable but, alas, so frequent among major ln-flelilers and catchers when runners on first and third start action. Fletcher's dope yesterday was for Catcher Wilson to shoot the ball to Pitcher Ring if Johnston moved toward second in the ho that Brown would he hung up by the trick and caught lift ween third and home. As it happened, only the single steal by Johnston was intended by the Robins, and Johnston accomplished his object, outguessing Fletcher.

By AKTHVR F. Considerable Interest has been aroused In the coming game between the Crescent A C. polo four and a Itockaway Hunting Club outfit at Bay Itidge next Saturday. It will be the first contest of its kind ever to take place on the grounds, of the New Moon orejniMtion.

The quality of play, the attendance and the handlness of the playing field may decide whether or not the Crescents can mantaln polo at the same high pitch that it has nourished many other sports. 7 he upper field has been turned over i0 the polo committee for the occasion. Seating arrangements have been made for a large crowd, while the field Itself has been rolled and watered ho that It presents a smooth surface for very good polo. Naturally, the horses will tear up the turf with their shoes, so that followlnKthe polo season it will he necessary to plow, harrow and seed the entire field. Jf polo is accepted by the Crescent sport-loving members there will be the necessity of pressing into service some fid which can be devoted to the mounted game all of the time.

It Is possible that the Howard K. Jones Field may be loaned to the club fur polo. Good Polo Material. In relation to the actual polo ability of the men who are representing the Crescent, it might be said that they can take care of themselves against most of the low-goal teams In this section of the country. There are mo Tommy Hltchcocks or Eric Pedleys on the New Moon roster, hut that Is not at all necessary unless one to take part In the open championship or to challenge the Big Four.

Some day the Brooklyn team may be able to step out in the best company, for It has some embryo stats under the process of seasoning. Possibly the two most likely players for the Crescent are the Ras-iiuiHseii brothers, Lawrence and Robert. Both of these lads, with their father, MaJ. Robert T. Ras-niussen, have been playing on various teams in the Eastern circuit.

The whole family has acquitted Itself very well and has gathered In a few culpa this year. Jn addition to these players, there are a great many more worthy of note, and still others who are yet In the schooling stage at the Crescent. All of them will be heard from In the future, since polo seems to be a game whose participants crave action. Once they have sat atop a whirling polo pony and knocked a ball about, they want to keep on playing. Down at Ray Ridge they have been making great preparations for this coming game on Saturday.

A committee, made up of Edgar J. Mlllama, chairman; Howard E. Jones, vice chairman; MJ. Robert T. Rasniussen; JlaJ.

George G. Cochran. "George F. Byrnes, William Dobby and George R. McGce, chairman of the ticket committee, has been devoting hours of time toward making the first polo contest at (Tie Crescent a success.

It is probable that the Ttoekaway Hunting Club will send a team to Bjooklyn for the Crescent game, for that seems to be, the only kind of team they have at Rockaway.

(Iilmstt at t'lncinntill, AMERICAN IKAGI'K; Standing of the Clubs. In Spite of Declaration of War Match Still in Embryo Stage. In spite of the fact that Hnrrr Wills, the so-called dark brown panther of New Orleans, upon his return from Europe (nst week signified his Intentions of knocking the block off a young man by the nam of Gene Tunney, nothing much seems to have been done about it. A match between the dark brown panther and the ex-matine who knocked Tom Gibbons kicking seems about as far oft as a bout between William Harrison Dempsey and Harry Wills'. Wills came back from Europe with a fair-sized chip on his shoul der, but he seems to be taking mighty good care that nobody knocks it off.

It was thought that yosterday soma progress might be made toward' the of a Wllls- Tunney fight when the dark brown panther was expected to pay a visit to the Boxing Commission. Utit Wills did not appear. His sister-in-law is ill and Wills declared that he might possibly attend Friday's meet ing. Paddy Mulllns was on deck at the Commission and as usual, when wins is not among those present, spoke all'of six or sevon words during the gab session. Mr.

Mulllns was gumshoeing about, looking for the certified check for 175,000 which Floyd Fitzslmmons, tho young Loch-invar of Michigan City, was to de posit as a guarantee for the Wllls-Dempsey bout somewhere In the Mlddlewest sometime next year. Mr. Mulllns searched long and earnestly but he did not find a certi fied check for 175,000 or a certified check for any amount whatever. Mr. Mulllns did not appear greatly surprised.

Neither did any one else. Gene Tunney has already signed to box Wills under the direction of Tex Rlckard. The dark brown panther haB been quoted as crying, "Let me at Tunney." Nevertheless, It ap pears unlikely that the boys will get cgether th Is fall. It's getting rather late in the season and In spite of hln belligerent war cries Wills does not seem eager to rush headlong into the match. Wills has what may seem to some to be a perfectly good alibi.

He has signed a contract to knock over some pushover under the direction or Messrs, Culnan, Blaufuss, Blaok and Kline, the gentlemen from Newark called by Billy Gibson the "four horsemen or the applesauce. It Is understood tnat tne "four horsemen" approached Billy Gibson, who is Tunney's manager, with a proposition that Tunney box Wills under their auspices In Newark. Mr. Gibson declined with emphasis.

Postponing the big Labor Day holiday dou-bjeheailers ill Brooklyn and New York on Monday by rain was the only really severe blow the majors have suffered In As the situation stands, the Robins should be able to hold on to fourth place, and that's a better prospect than they had when they were losing four of five tames to the Braves, leglnning last Wednesday In Boston and ending Inst Sunday In Brooklyn. Vui.ce' One-Hit Game Follows Two Days' Host. 1 DAZZY VANCE allowed the one hit yesterday In shut ting them out, 1 to 0. That hit was by Hawks In the second inning, with one down.

The next man filed out and Hawks died mealing. He was the only Pliilly to reach ilrst. It was Vance's best same of year. He had everything and he was opposing: the team which has the eecond best batting average, .304, the National League. The Pittsburg Pirates lead with .306.

He struck cut six batters. The first was Sand, first up in the first inning, who ie-tired on a third culled strike. Sand'B was the 200th strikeout accomplished by Vance this year. Five more Phillies Sand, again; Ray Pearce. Wrlghstlne and Fonseca fell before Vance's shoots in the next eight Innings.

And Vance pitched that brilliant game- after only two days' rest, whereas he has hitherto been taking from four to five or aix days. On Saturday, in Boston, he beat the, Braves, 5 to 3, In nine innings, allowing eight hits and fanning eight batters. That was a close contest. The score was tied at 3 to In the third Inning. The Robins made one run In the fifth.

That gave Vance an edge of one run and he had to work at top speed. In the ninth the Robins scored their fifth run. Gib sort singled for the Braves In' the ninth with one down. Then Vance showed 'em something. He fanned Burrus, who butted for Mickey ONell, and he ended the game by fanning Ernie Padgetf.

The point Is that Vance did not have nn easy time on Saturday. He was extended all the way, through nine Innings. Yet he came back yesterday and pitched a one-hit. shutout game after two days' rest. More Work for Vance Might Be Good Idea.

HOW come that wonderful stunt with only two days between games? The matter is worth pondcr-ing- We have been too lnnir In hnaehnll not to understand thoroughly the danger of overworking a pitcher wno depends olmnst entirely upon speed. We also know that Vance is not the huskiest pitcher in the world, and he pitches so hard that he wearies himself all over, especially in the -arm. Hiit we do believe that at tilnos this season the sticking to the system of giving Vance a minimum of four days' rest has been carried too far. The subject has been discussed in tlrose columns before. It has been pointed out that practically every other pitcher in the league, with the exception of the venerahlr Grovee Alexander, -has been used for relief purposes and has won or saved games.

Vance has not been called upon for relief work and very, very seldom have his engagements been xhoved up so that he did not have his four days between games. I Looking back over the pitching performances this year and in previous years by men less husky than Vance and prone, to exhaust themselves fully as much as he does, we can't escape the conclusion that Vance could have worked more often this season and with advantage to himself and the team, .0 Vbiicc Might Repent His 28 Victories, VANCE has won 21 He has almost and lost a third Prooklyn's total of 64 winnings. Last year he won 28 and lost 6. The Robins have 23 games left, to be played from Sept. 11 to Oct.

4, inclusive, a period of 24 days. A really great pitcher, with a first division team should win 2B games In a year. Allowing for open days, due to the schedule or rain, Vance can hardly get into more than live games, on a basis of four days' rest between appearances, and would have to win four of those to reach 25 winnings. By rutting down his time between games he should be sble to pitch In seven and perhaps win seven. If he did, that would bring him to his 'record of 28 won in 11124, but he would not have the same percentage as in beeauie lie has already lost eight games.

Winning 28 games In two consecutive seasons would be a big feather in Vance's cap. Grlnips Wins Own Games Johnston's SU-al Is VHftl.

7 Pcpp Shows Eliio Performance. PEPP won the Whltestone Handicap over the mllo course with 118 pounds up In 1:38 2-5. It was one of the best races that Pcpp nas ever run In his career. He carried ten pounds more than he did when he won last week and this, of course, a certain degree anchored some of his speed. But Just the same, considering the showing he made and the condition of the track, his performance was an excellent one.

It redounded to the credit of Maey HirRch, IiIb trainer. I This time the victory of Pepp proved more profitable than it did when he won last week at 12 and 15 to 1. Then his triumph was ln the nature of a surprise. There was no surprise In store for his genial owner, George W. Loft, Trainer Hlrsch, ct al.

Time of game 1 iHtl. Why Bilk Funs In Assigning IKclicrs? ASEBALL is to he congratulated upon having escaped the hands of the professional theatrical people thus far, but it cannot be denied that some of the acumen and showmanship of the theatrical promoters could be well applied to baseball. Here is an angle: Dazzy Vance Is a big drawing card, and Justly so. It is very seldonv that the fans know definitely that he will pitch on a given date, and there should never be reasonable doubt on that subject. When It is known that he will surely pitch, the attendance is Increased by hundreds or thousands.

That is what he is paid for, and that Is why the fans pay. They want to see all they can of a great pitcher's pitching. i What we have said about Vance applies to all other famous pitchers. It might be supposed that the club owners would do all in their power to give the fans the best possible run for their money when exhibiting grent pitchers, the owners and managers, so far as we are aware, seldom or never give the matter a thought. Vance pitched the opening game of the double-header in Boston last Saturday.

The game began at 1:30 p.m. The final attendance was about 28.000. It Is probable that about 5,000 of the final attendance arrived lute. Vance Is a fast pitcher, and, when in form against a worthy rival, the game moves rapidly, as was the case on Saturday and even more so yesterday. It is safe to assume that some 3,000 or more Boston fans, eager to see all they could of Vance, missed three or four innings of that game.

Precisely the same was true yesterday, except on a much smaller scale, for the attendance yesterduy was about 5,000. Should I'so Star Pitcher III tilt Second Game. VANCE pitched the first game Saturday and the first game yesterday, Why was he not saved for the second game each day? When double-headers are played and a star pitcher Is to perform, why is he not always saved for the second game, when the maximum number of fans for the day would see him, and would be correspondingly Dleased? We douht If the question was ever raised before. We confess that ln our long experience with the sport we have seen scores of great pitchers of the past and present work the first game of the double-header, although they might Just as well have Ditched the second, and never real ized how unfair it was until last Saturday, when we saw so many late-coming Boston fRns being bilked of Dart of their pleasure and money because Vance was assigned to the first, Instead of the second, half of the double-header. Having pleaded guilty to having been asleep ourself or some 2 years or more, we cannot ride the magnates too severely for their having been equally somnolent, hut since we have come out of ouiv tiunoe on that subject, we shall give It consld erable airing in the future.

Grimes' lino Courage After Painful Injury, WHATa pity thOBB two games yesterday could not have been played before a great holiday crowd. Grimes was hit on the leg by a terrific grounder from Cy Williams In the third inning, and it Is a wonder his leg was not broken. lie went down for five minutes, hut persisted ln finishing. A minute beore that awful wallop on the leg he stuck out his bare hand and nailed a liner from Leach that would have been a sure single ana wouia nave cost the game. That made the sec ond out, Williams got a single on the hlow that floored Orlmcs.

Harper and Hawks also singled, filling the bases. Grimes, hobbling badly; got Wiiirhfstone grounder and threw him out. That inning contributed three to the total of 18 Phillies left on liases. Grimes made his fielder's chol and his single, each of which scored runs, after he was hurt. Ho threw out Wiightstone ngaln in the sixth, with two out and three on.

In the ninth he threw out Foiiaeca, who sacrificed, and ended the inning by limping to make ti fine stop and throw that retired Sand, with two on and two out. Boxin; Bouts Tonight Mltchel Field A. Paul Gu-lotta vs. Slg Keppen, Dave Weo-bcr vs. Hurry Duer, Al Feliler vs.

Henny Catena, eight rounds. prqbably go to the post favorite for Pompey, with "Butts" Falrbrother, accompanied during the trial by any stepped the seven-furlong course In The track was a mixture of wet good foundation. This combination one could call It good and be on the Falrbrother broke Pompey about post. The result was that when reached the pole he was ln full stride took care to steer Pompey well Out1 trom the rail. This served to give the colt firm footing and to a certain degree precluded any fliance of stepping In a solit spot.

which might prove to be a hole. i Plenty of Early Speed. HILE the trial was only from the seven-eighth pole the distance traveled was actually greater about 70 feet. If not more. Under restraint and going well within his range of speed and endurance pom pey stepped the distance in a very workmanlike manner.

In the streten Falrbrother was easing him up. This was the last quarter of a mile of the seven furlongs. The major portion of the speed was during the first five furlongs. The furlong was In 12 seconds, quar ter in 23 r-o, three-eighths In 36 2-5, half ln 48 2-6, five furlongs In 1:01 lt-6, six furlongs In 1:14 8-5 and the seven-eighths ln 1:27 l-o. The East I -a si Furlong.

A GLANCE at the fractional time shows, that the second furlong was ln 11 8-6. This was faster than the first furling, although Pompey had the advantage of a running start. The third furlong was In 12 2-6 sec onds, the fourth in 13 seconds, the fifth in 13 seconds, the sixth ln 13 1-6 seconds and the. seventh in 12 3-6 seconds. It was, everything considered, track, weight carried Falrbrother had his everyday clothes on with tn exception of big riding boots and breeches, not of the Jockey aeBcrip-tlons, and weighed at least, this way (igged, U'2 or 125 pounds and the way It Was acconiDltshed.

a fine perform ance. Pompey didn't appear to mind it in the slightest. Most colts after stepping the first three-eights in 35 2-5 seconds and the half in 48 3-6 would have been legweary at the end. But his seventh furlong in 12 8-5 seconds, faster than his fourth, fifth and sixth furlongs, would tend to prove that he was by no- manner of means legweary or tired from the strain of early pace. Always Has His Appetite With Htni.

IN FACT, after the race he walked off as though the work was a mere nothing. It was the first real workout that he has had since he won the Hopeful Stakes at the Spa, when he hung up a. new track record for the 6Vk-furlong course. After being rubbed down and walked around the cooling out ring for about an hour he wus aiiowea to fVat. And, oh' boys, how he did clean up the feed box ann tne nay-raca.

"That 'ere Tompey do have his appetite wid him," said his colore crnnm with a tone of admiration In his voice. "Never in his life has he turned his tail to the feed box." And that ability to eat alter every race when most colts are ready to lean up against the box-stall and all but die from sheer weariness Is one of the big assets anout ijompey, Una hnlned to keep him physically fit so that he could stand the wear and tear of training and racing. He iil have one more sure gaiiop on i nurs-r'ay and then a breeze on Friday In preparation for Tho Futurity. His chance to win that big prltte rests In the laps of the gods. Haste Shows Ills Fine Speed.

BEFORE Pompey's trial there was a report that Haste on Sunday worked down the straightaway Futurity routse ln 1:11. 'That was remarkably fast trial If It was accurately timed. It's hard to time a horse, on the straightaway. But there's not the slightest question that the trial was an exceedingly fast one, even allowing for a fraction of second faster or slower during the workout. Haste Is a sprinter of the first water.

He showed that In his tlrree victories at Saratoga in one of which, the Saratoga Special, he heat Pompey by. a length nnd a hair. Tha was over the slx-furlong route. Pompey at the end was charging down on him and catching him ut the finish. On the strength of that race and the fact that the distance of The Futurity Is seven furlongs, It would give Pompey- a ehiinco to beat Haste if Edition The colt 1:27 made safe the and a A to a a leiuiK oronzensKl from all points or a siuctont at California Unl-the compass, "Smoke" went down versify, though he appears undecided and out after 40 seconds of the ses-J whether he will return for the next slon.
