enough to get a couple of hits with n cou-
pie OF errors and scored three runs in the
fourth inning. After that there was moth
Ing doing for the home team. but they had
gained lead which was long enough to

AMERICAN LEAGUE GAMES.
Chicago Made It Six Straight From
Boston

Playing as confidently as though they al
ready had the pennant won and as steadily
as a troop of veterans. the White Sox com.
pleted three-day mountaineering perform

the final double-header with Boston on the
home grounds before crowd that was Off

Sons.
1t was the elimination of three such days
of disaster for Boston as no other team OF
champions ever experienced, and the termi-
nation of the most victorious period the
White SoX ever had. 1t places the Chicago
team within half a game of the leaders, d
position from which they can strike again
for the pennant place. Incidentally. the
series relegates Boston to a position below
New York and practically destroys its aspi-
rations to another pennant.
Both of the games were decisive victories.

pitching, the scores being I to In the first
and 6 to 3 in the second. They were devoid
of wrangling, and there was never a time
when the reversal of a close decision of the
umpires could have affected the results
Before the game started a drzzling rain
began. and it continued throughout the aft
ernoon. but was not hard enough at any
time to call for a cessation of the battle.
The players worked through it all and the
fans kept their places from the beginning to
the end. apparently so eager to see every
play that they cared absolutely nothing for
a drenching.
Just how big an attendance there would
have been If the day had been q clear one
can only be a matter of conjecture. Ger

people in the grounds than there were I'M

Washington took perfect advantage OF
every opportunity offered in the opening
game. and as result won it with some
thing to spare, despite the fact that St
Louis outbatted the Nationals. Townsend
did the pitching for Washington. and
he was most effective when ST.
Louis needed runs. Petty on the other
hand, not only allowed Washington to hit
him at critical points. but also made an
error which resulted in a run. In addition
Washington ran bases and fielded in better
style than the home team.

At the rate at which the improve
ments are being carried on at the ter
minal of the New York Central Rail-
road, at Forty-second street, New York
City, it is expected that three months
more will see the Grand Central Sta
ton RACED and work begun on the
magnificent structure which is to re-
place 1t.
Work on the improvements has gone
as far as it can go without entering
the station or causing an interruption
of the train service. Where two years
ago stood several hundred homes, to-
day is an excavation quite extensive
in itself, but only a fraction of the
great hole that will be made in the
nineteen square blocks which the ter
minal will cover.
So anxious are the officers of the
railroad company to get their improve
ments into shape in time to be ready
to give station facilities to the new
subway routes planned for the city
that men have been kept working day
and night on the great excavation.
The plans Of the railroad company
call for the expenditure of $25, 100000
on the improvements. All of the land
now occupied by station and tracks is
to be evacuated and an entirely new
terminal built. About SIT, 100000 alone
is to be spent in a new station. There
are to be two systems of tracks, one
raised above the other, one system
for suburban service and the other for
trains to distant points. Electricity
will also be substituted for steam
throughout the terminal. .
1t may not be generally known that
the New York Central lines constitute
the Water Level line connecting the
East and the West.
They run along the Hudson River,
New York to Albany; along the Mo-
hawk River and Erie Canal, Albany to
Buffalo; along Lake Lrle, Buffalo to
Toledo and Detroit, and along the level
of Lake Michigan from Toledo to Chi
cagO-965 miles of water level, with
water in sight nearly every mile Of the
way.
The New York Central operates
more than twelve thousand miles of
railway east of Chicago, st. Louis and
Cincinnati. 1t is the direct line from
New York and Boston to Niagara
Falls and to the West, the Northwest
and the Southwest. by way of the
great cataract and Chicago, st. Louis
or Cincinnati.
This is one of the reasons why the
press of two continents call the New
York Central "America's Greatest
Railroad"
