How the Clubs stand.
ST. PAUL, 10; CHAMPIONS, o.
Amateurs Might Have Done Better
Against st. Paul.

The champions played like amateurs
yesterday and were shut out for the first
time this season. Their work in the sec
ond inning was about as saffron hued as
anything seen in these parts since base
ball became a familiar, almost a neces-
sary. adjunct of the Hoosier capital. Their
hitting was about as weak as their field
ing. and Comiskey's men laughed at the
futile efforts they made to get a run.
Hogriever started the alleged sport with
a nice hit TO left, but spoiled it by run
ming into the ball at second on an at
tempted steal. Wood got a single to left,
but Mccarthy flew to George and Motz
went out at first. The Saints did better
in their half. With one out, Glasscock
lined a single to left and was advanced on
STATIONS out at first. George cracked one
to left for a base. reaching second on Nc
Carthy's tumble. which allowed Glasscock
to score. Burns hit to center for a base
and George came home. Pickett fouled to
Motz.
Though Stewart led off with a two-base
hit in the second inning. Shiebeck few to
Burns. Shannon struck out and Hogan was
out from O'Rourke TO Glasscock. Then
came the wild, weird half inning that drove
the fans" to pop and peanuts for lack of
something stronger. Shugart scratched out
a little single and Spies hit to Cross, who
threw to head off Shugart at second. Shan
non muffed the ball and that was the be-
ginning of the bad work. Fricken reached
first on balls and the bases were filled.
ORourke hit safe to center, sending two
runs in. .Glasscock few to Stewart. and
Stratton hit an easy one that should have
resulted in a double play, but Stewart
threw wild to first and another run came
in. George flew to Hogan. but Burns sent
in another run with q single to center.
high to shannon. and Stratton scored.
Pickett got a base on balls and started for
second. Wood threw down and Burns
tried to score. but was caught at the plate.
CHANCES THAT FAILED.
In the third Indianapolis had the bases
filled, but there were two out, and the
best Stewart could do was to hit to
O'Rourke and go out at first. Shannon
and Cross got singles in the fourth, but
could not score. Mccarthy hit for two
bases in the fifth, but nobody could bring
him in. Shiebeck opened the sixth with a
hit, but was left. 1t was impossible to
break the ST. Paul spell, and the cham
made no more useless hits. shannon fun
bled Georges grounder in the fifth. The
next two men flew out. Shugart singled
to right and Spies hit for three bases in
Fricken got a hit TO center, sending Spies
home. O'Rourke hit safe to right. but
Gasscock sent a liner to Stewart. Comis-
keys men went out in short order the rest
than they needed and were in a hurry TO
get through, anyway. Just as the last In
~dianapolis man was retired in the ninth the
rain came down at a lively rate. Score:

CLEVELAND. o.. July 30.-There was

the track in splendid condition and a large
crowd was present to witness the races.
Three events We're concluded in addition to
the 2:19 trot, which came over from yester-
day unfinished. In the 2:15 trot Newcastle
was a hot ~favorite and won after two heats
had been taken by Jimmy Hague. The race
was very exciting, Splan driving Newcastle
TO a sensational finish in the third and
fourth heats. when he was chased home by
Bassora. In the 2:25 pace, Mocking Boy
was the favorite with Planet selling for Sec
ond choice, but the race vas easy for Miss
Jennings, who set a remarkably fast pace.
The third heat was won by Mocking Boy
on a fluke. Before the first heat of the
2:09 trot, Kentucky Union was the f~avorite,
but klamath easily demonstrated his abili-
ty TO win and took the race in straight
heats. Derby rincess took the deciding
heat of the PIG trot with ease. Following

NEW YORK, July 30.-Racing at Bright
on Beach to-day was begun on a fast track
and ended in a sea of mud and clearer
the post in the whippet stakes, which was
run as the fifth race, as the second was di-
vided, the rain began and no one escaped a
drenching. In the opening race. all but
Manchester were afraid of Deerslayer and
he might as we'll have staid out for he had
no chance of winning. In the second The
Manxman was a slight favorite over Pass
over and that was the order in which they
finished. The talent then went down on
laramie and backed him as if it were all
over. There was a good thing, however,
on which they did not reckon in Bannon
who took the lead handily with the ~favorite
in the second place. Sherlock was a strong
~favorite for the fourth race and fully justi-
fled the opinion of the bettors by winning
one. Susan was heavily backed at odds-on
before the rain. while several others had a
following. Susan jumped into the lead and
held it to the head of the stretch when Mo-
hawk Prince challenged the FLY and try
as hard as Simms might, she could not
shake him off. and in a rafting finish Mo-
hawk Prince won by a head. a neck sepa-
rating second and third and a head between
third and fourth. For the sixth race only
three started. with Irish Reel as an odds-on
choice. while Hanwell was heavily backed
to win, owing TO the mud. Terrier. too. had
some following. but neither could catch the
