The petition of the Philadelphia National
League club for an injunction against La
1oie and Bernhard. the ball players, was
denied by Judge Sterimple in common
pleas court of Cleveland Saturday. The

Clevelands again today.
Jack Townsend is just about due to land
his game.
Gochnauer earned his salary Saturday
and just about won the game for Cieve-
land.
1t is wonderful the luck Bradley has In
hitting on the local grounds while Laioie
can do nothing.
Elmer Flick has also hard luck in batting
here. With him and Larry hitting right
the Senators would have trouble all the
way
Hickman played a nice game Saturday
and the boy Is all right at first, although
not the finished article. He can hit the
ball. and batting covers a multitude of err
rors.
Everybody seemed sorry to see Harry Bey
drop Doyle's long fly, although 1t meant
the tieing runs for Washington Bey is a
clever player and makes friends in eyery
city by his gentlemanly bearing.
Ciarke's slow running should not be criti-
cised He has a bad ankle, which retards
his progress, but he took desperate chances
to land Coughlln over the home plate Sat
urday. Bill went down into the dust like
regular "theater.' but 1t was no use

rutherS and Johnstone have done good work
here, although they may have made mis-
takes, but then there Is an argument even
on this point
Conny Mack and Magnate Shibe's white
elephant" drew 5000 people to the Ath-
letics' park Saturday. This pair must be
anxious to sell out and quit base ball on
their present showing
Chicago has certainly been getting 1t all
down the line for the past week, but then
the eastern clubs can look for the same
treatment when they go west. AS Jimmy
McAleer said, the championship will come
pretty near to being decided right here in
this city. The Senators close the season
with Boston and the Athletics, and the
locals owe these teams several good, hard
drubbtngs. In the meantime st. Louis
should find the going quite easy.
In two games at Louisville Saturday
Bonner made two triples, double and two
singles and accepted all Of his fourteen
chances.
Stanley Robson, vice president and treas
urer of the St. Louis National League club
states that ten of his players were signed
son of 1903 They are Pitcher Mike O'Neil,
Catcher John O'Neil, Murphy, Yerkes.
Pearson, Barclay, Smoot, Hartman, Farrell

tied for eighteen innings to tie yester-
day afternoon to Z. It was the longest
professional game ever played In st. Louis.
Umpire Brown deemed 1t too dark after
the players had battled for three and one
half hours and called the contest.

kinds of hard luck with its twirling staff.

Woodward & Lothrop Won.

Saturday afternoon the Woodward &
Lothrop team defeated the Adams Empress
Company In game Of base ball by the
score of 1S to on the arsenal grounds.
Although apparently one-sided, the game
was very interesting because Of the heavy
hitting. The all-round work of the winning
team, particularly that of the battery,
Smith and Kelley, is worthy of mention.
The Woodward & Lothrops will line I'D
against the Radfords at I'd and R streets

The last match was that in which Stew
art Waller defeated Guy Phelps Dodge In
the challenge contest for the possession of
the Ruggles cup, which Is emblematlc of
the championship of Eastern Long Islard.
Waller took his victory in three straight sets
by the score of 7-5, SO, 6-3. The result of
the match gives the cup into the perma-
