FINISH IN SIGHT

Having come up to the expectations of
their most ardent admirers during their
stay in Chicago the Highlanders today be-
gin the last fortnight of the season with a
clear lead over the White Sox. While the
Broadway Boys last week battered down
of the toughest obstacles to their
pennant aspirations they still have some
hard going before them before the season
ends But so have the White Sox, for that
matter and after this week the Highland
ers will have a shade the best Of the
Comskey ites the schedule.
Thirteen games remain for the Broad

ern trip. The Broadway Boys now lead
the series. One game postponed during the
Napoleons last visit to Washington
Heights cannot be played.
From Cleveland the Highlanders Journey
to Philadelphia. where they are booked TO
play the Athletics four games. One of
these was postponed on July 3. The Broad
way Boys hold the Athletics by twelve
games to six on the seasons series.
For the wind-up the Highianders have
two games with Boston ending Saturday.

allowed him to go the route. not having
any one to substitute for him. he was
reserving Dygert for the second frolic.
Red Jack Powell twirled for the homo
team. and the Athletics were faded from
start to close. They could do nothing
with Powells delivery. but once during
the game were the visitors able to get
man as far as third. That was in the
ninth inning. On the other hand, the
Brownies were out to make a clean sweep
Of 1t If possible. The support given Powell
was of the gilt-edged variety, every man
playing his position for all it was worth
The second game was one Of base ball
as it should be played. Dygert and Howell
twirled for their respective teams. and 1t
was a battle royal throughout Both men
were in excellent form and pitched superb
ball. Had 1t not been for the shades Of
night falling they might be pitching yet,
but Connolly called the game at the end
of the ninth with the score nothing to moth
ing.

Patten Leading Pitcher.

Patten Is the only pitcher that seems to
be able to win a majority of the games in
which he officiates. although he has not
much of a margin to brag about. Goodwin
the twirler secured from Milwaukee,
who has participated in two games, has
showed up very credtably. Detroit making
but six hits off his delivery on Saturday
Anderson is still the heavy hitter of the
team, having played in every game to date
and has made 1iT singles, u doubles )
triples and home runs total of 1874
bases; Hickman, Cross and Jones come
next with l73. 15S and 40 total bases,
respectively. Schlafy, Jones. Altizer Cross
and Stanley are the leading sacrifice hit
ters Anderson and Atizer have purloined
~ bases each, but AltiZer is virtually the
leader. as he has played but 1O6 games to
Anderson's li2. which IS a very credtable
performance. The Nationals made but one
double play in the eight games, bringing
their total 10 81. while their opponents
made six, giving them 10. In sacrifice
hitting their opponents lead by 1S4 to 124.
The catchers seem to have lost the knack
or throwing down to second to catch the
runners stealing. as their opponents stole
Fwenty-four bases to the Nationals four in
the eight games played.

One of the oldest things that ever hap
pened on ball field came off this year In
a game between the Chronicle and AmerI-
can teams In the Newspaper League
Chicago. The game was played on ca
lahan's park where the ex-Nationai and
American league star is running a Gemi-
professional team.
There was a runner third when the
batter hit a sharp bounder straight at the
second bas.man. The runner was held at
third and the baseman threw the batter
out at first. AS he threw. the MAJ at
third made a dash for the plate and the
first baseman. pivoting. made a throw
to head him off. Seemingly he had his
man nailed ten fec but half way to the
plate the ball suddenly shot downward
the runner scored and the game was lost.

poked up sszyscraping fly. and as it rose
half dozen dark objects began To shoot
around the ball. Dahlen. all muddled up
let the ball fall untouched.
That broke up the game Hundreds OF
bats were circling around. and for half
an hour the players hit up tall flies to
watch the little animals dart at the ball,
following II almost down to the ground.

NEW YORK YANKEES

Yankees defeated the White Sox in an ex-
citing game yesterday by the score OF to
0 and assumed the lead of the American
league 1t was pitchers battle for true.
in which Bill Hogg and Ed Walsh
were the participants. The Gotham twirler
was in fine form, and only two hits were
made off him. One was double by JtSss'
Donohue. Dundon, who has succeeded Is
bell at second, gets credit for the other
bngie. which was a scratch. Had Hogg
been little more hasty in covering the
initial sack when Chase fielded the ball
he would have pitched a one-hit contest.
Twenty-Five thousand fans saw the con-
test. which was full of ginger until the
last man was retired. The weather was
cold and oyercoats and gloves were much
in evidence in the park. The cold weather
perhaps was d good thing for Six
O'Loughlin. for when he made close de-
cision on Dundon at first, in the eighth
round. some pop bottles were thrown at
him from the bleachers.
AS the soda water man had done little
business during the afternoon. the sup
ply was soon exhausted. Silk didn't
take any chances though, and for the rest
of the contest stood behind the pitcher. AS

men escorted him to the gate. but there
was no attempt at further attacks

Both teams played sensational fielding

his position. and got the honor OF scoring
the lone tally for his team. 1t was his
daring base running that earned the score.
after he had waited for four vice ones. A
double play was made while he was scor
ing. but he had counted before the third
out was made.
1t happened this way: keeler started the
game by being retired at first Walsh had
trouble in locating the plate for the kid, y
and he walked. Then Hal Chase tore off
a single in Dougherty's territory. and the
little shortstop made third on it by grand
slide. Dougherty made a bad throw to
Robe. who had to take the ball on the
bound and Elberfeld slid through his legs
Williams hit hot grounder to Davis. but
was out at first. Elberfeld scoring. Chase
tried to make third on the play, but was

an s7.foot iron bridge at Bombay
Hook, but Mr.. Jones has not fully de-

it. The bridge will remain where it
now is until some disposition is de-

long at the bottom and 10 at the top,
and is 10 feet high. 1t was originally
used in connection with the Bombay
Hook and Bayside railroad, but has
been abandoned for some time. The
original bridge at that point was built
in 1865, but the present structure is
said to date back only about 81 years,
having been built in 1885.
