OHICAGO, June § (U. P.).—Old Loopin’ Luke Appling had a new gear in his garage today, a check for $1700 in his pocket, a diamondstudded watch on his wrist and the best wishes of thousands ef fans in his heart.

The Sox finally lost the first match of a double-header with Washington after going through the 18 frames. Luke didn’t mind waiting. Hadn't he been waiting 17 years already? Before the second game, a 1910 Maxwell was driven onto the field

Finally the nice new shiny automobile was presented to him. It was a gift from his fans, financed by dime and quarter contributions.

Fishing tackle, plus a traveling bag, came from the Baseball Writers association.

It was a crossed-fingers duel between Mays and Holland in the final stages. Holland who had led every lap from the 29th signalled his pit on the Tist that something was
