In some manner the bowl OF the pipe
became loosened from the stem shortly
after he started and dropped off, but he
never noticed 1t. Not until he had
reached the factory and took what was
left OF the pipe from his mouth, for the

the bowl, did he find that the business

A SURPRISE FOR THE WHINING
TON ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ON
SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE BAS-
RETBALL GAME.
The Hancock A. A., of PHILADELPHIA.
played its return game with the Will
mingtOn A. A. Saturday evening at
Pyle's Bicycle Academy, and received
an unpleasant surprise in the improved
team and individual work or the locals,
who were finally defeated by single
goal, the score being / to 12.. The Han
cocks, judging from their former con-
test with the Wilmingtonians, expected
to have an easy victory, but this was
dispelled after the first thirty seconds
of play, when Fisher scored for the
locals, who ran up a total of six points
before the visitors recovered from the
shock. The Hancocks then pulled
themselves together, and, before the
close of the half, Hunter basketed the
ball three times, but still the Whining
tons held a comfortable lead with a to-
tai of ten points
With defeat staring them in the face
until the last three minutes of the
game, the visitors played like demons,
and after fifteen minutes of play tied
the score at 10 to 10. The Whining
tons know how to play a hard game,
too and Smith Gagged the ball again,
making the score II to 10 in the locals
favor Hunter then badly twisted his
ankle, and the outlook for the Han
/ cocks was anything but pleasant. After
considerable delay Hunters ankle was
| tightly bandaged, and, with the exer-
else Of a little pluck, he managed tC
| finish the game, and it was most fOrtu-
nate for the Hancocks that he did, fol
i II was Hunter who turned the tide n
the visitors favor with two field goals
during the last three minutes of play.
The playing space in the academy il
/ large and offers good fOOthOld, bu
/ owing to popularity in the shape, tn,
baskets, instead of being opposite eacf
/ other, are placed on the hypothenuse o.
right angle triangle, which necessi
| tated a different style Of play than Il
4 generally in vogue. Both teams haC
l some hard luck shots at the baskets
but the score nevertheless offers a gOOC
criterion from which to judge the wOrl
OF each. The Hancocks passed the bal
better than the the locals, but also die
a large amount OF fumbling, and a
times, too, when such errors were mos
costly. There were a number of foul
committed and a number called, but no
a single free throw taken, as Umpir
Nickles, in view of the close score, al
lowed his decisions in every case t

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 81
Especially - Foreman's great pitching.
backed up by some brilliant fielding at
critical times, shut St. Paul out today.
The last inning was a little scary, but
TIE Saints couldn't get in a run. Burke
had two fine catches out his way, but
his failure to stop Motz's hit in the
eighth cost a run.
Foreman pitched himself into a hole
in the first inning and then pitched
himself out again. so cleverly that the
crowd shouted its satisfaction at the
performance. He gave Burke a base
OH balls, and hit Geier. Glenalvin sac
rificed, but Foreman was too shifty
for Shugart and Isbell. and struck
them both out. The third inning saw
Indianapolis two runs to the good.
Hickey's little grounder rolled so slow
ly to Gillen that he beat it out. Fore
man flew to Shugart, but Flynn hit
safe to left Stewards grounder was
fumbled by Shugart, and the bases
were filled. Netherlands pretty drive.
to right center scored Hickey and
Flynn, but Mac was caught at second,
trying to make two bases on a single.
MotZ went out from short to first.
There were two oft III the eighth when
Shugart threw McFarland's grounder
wild Motz hit safe and hard to right.
and Burke let the ball go through him.
~ Mcfarland coming al the way round.
MotZ reaching third. Nicol went out
on a foul fly to Gillen.
The Saints were dangerous in the
seventh and ninth. In the seventh
Shugart got q two-bagger to left CEN
ter, after Glenalvin had gone out.
Hickey muffed Isbell's liner, but Glass
cock flew to Motz and Gillen to Stew
art, relieving the strain. The st. Paul
ninth had the crowd on edge. Geier
struck out but Foreman gave Glenal:

Stewart fumbled IsbelPs grounder, fill

WRETCHED WORK.
THREE TEAMS RIGHT IN 1T.
Milwaukee, Kansas City and Indian
apOlis Out for the Flag.

The contest for the Western league
pennant continues one Of absorbing
interest. Kansas City, Milwaukee and
Indianapolis have led by turns during
the week and are still right in a bunch
just over the 900 mark. 1t is hard to
say which will win the flag. The Brew
ers are now in front, and their man
ager has just secured the transfer of
so many games to Milwaukee that he
may land the flag. The Indians. too.
are staying right in the thick Of the
fight and are holding their own
through the magnificent work Of their
pitchers Of the three, however, Kan
sas City, although now third. has rath-
er the best prospects for the flag.
The team comes to ST, Paul on Tues-
day for three games, going thence TO
Minneapolis for two, and then home,
the four st. Joseph games having been
transferred. With these four games
Kansas City has seventeen to play al
home. and these ought to land the flag
for the Cowboys.
Columbus need no longer be consid
cred a serious factor in the race. The
team plays most Of it's remaining
games away from home, five of them
with Milwaukee and seven with In
dianapolis, and will certainly not land
better than fifth.
Sl. 1dul udS Iilddc d Sdl1lS dlu SplCH-
did fight on the trip, having won nine
Of it's eighteen games, and we hear it
said by enthusiastic fans that she will
yet take the flag, but among ourselves
it may as we'll be admitted that we
are out Of it. The team is six full
games behind Milwaukee. and has only
twenty-five to play. To gain this is
too much to expect, considering that,
by transfer and otherwise, both Kan
sas City and Milwaukee have secured
enough games on their own grounds
to make 1t very unlikely that this lead
will be cut to any appreciable extent.
In order to make q substantial gain
ST. Paul must not only thrash all OF the
leaders soundly. put must also get
them thrashed by st. Joseph, Detroit
and Minneapolis. That these three
will do anything notable at helping
out Is scarcely to be expected, as all
three are losing almost as fast as they
play their games. After It Is all over,
Manager Comiskey will be able to see
very plainly that he lost the pennant
by losing three games in succession to
Minneapolis early in August and few
days later two more to st. Joseph.
With these five games on the right
side Of the ledger, st. Paul would have
captured the bunting. However, there
is lot OF good fighting all along the
should move up as far as possible to-
ward the front. Five clubs will at
least be so closely punched that nobody
can say that any one Of them Is etrik-
ingly better than the others. It can
