GOES UP IN THE AIR

Muff After Eight Innings
of Applause.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, August 1s.-After eight in
nings of as brilliant base ball as any per-
son would care to see, the New Yorks blew
up in the ninth this afternoon. and for
while threatened not to come to earth be-
fore some time next week. 1t was the most
peculiar result that ever took place in this
city and resulted In a most peculiar dem
onstration on the part Of the public.
For inning after inning the New York
players had been cheered, applauded and
encouraged, until there was not a man on
the team whose right ear did not burn. In
the ninth the air was filed with jeers, cat
calls, Kisses and groans, and three cheers
were proposed in derision for La Porte
upon whose shoulders all the blame was
placed for the scoring of nine runs by the
White Sox.
Until this awful ninth 1t was simply q
pitchers battle. Chesbro was being batted
| much harder than Walsh, but he was keep
| ing the hits scattered and no damage was
resulting. The Chicago man had plenty
of speed and unusually good control-so
| good in fact, that he never gave a base on
| balls in the game.
In the seventh, after two men were cut
| Tannehill hit the ball to left field for two
| bases. Walsh came along with a high fly
which sailed over toward short, and La
Porte, filled with ambition to get It and
keep the Chicago score at nothing, ran
across the field In front Of Elberfeld and
| made such beautiful muff that Tannehill
was able to run all the way from second
! to the plate with the first score of the
game.
Fans Didn't Like It.
Naturally, this did not appeal to the New
York rooters The Highlanders couldn't hit
hard enough to get a man toward home in
| their half, except that Conroy did plug out
a three-bagger after two hands were out
But that didn't give them much chance In
the ninth the trouble began when Sullivan
| went to bat for Chicago. He hit an easy
grounder to La Porte, who fumbled the bali
Tannehll tried to sacrifice, and the best
| that he could do was to pop little fly into
| the air. which was caught by the pitcher
Walsh singled and the game began to look
a little more interesting to the Chicago gen.
tlemen who were sitting in the stand and
roofing for their club
Hahn hit to Elberfeld. who was eager
| to make a double play before the ball got
| in his hands, and the ball rolled to center
| field and Sullivan scored. Jones cracked q
| hit to right field almost out to the fence,
| except that 1t was slow, and Walsh scored.
man thought he could tag Hahn on his
| way home, but threw the ball a mile high
| and Hahn scored. Davis hit for a single
| to right field and Jones scored. The crowd
was whistltng in the meantime that popu-
lar ballad: Are there any more at home
| like your"
| Donahue raped the ball to Chase. The
| first baseman threw home to get Isbell,
| and after Thomas and La Porte had tossed
| the ball back and forth quite lot Thomas
finally muffed it, and Isbell and Davis
scored.
Guyed the Home Team.
| There was great Joy in the balconies
! when this happened and the crowd turned
| upon the New Yorks and made life miser-
able. Dougherty raped a long fly to CEN
| ter field and 1t was an easy matter for
| Donahue to get home from third. Sulli-
| van hit the ball for a single when he came
| in again, and that settled Chesbro He
| quit using speed and satisfied himself with
| tossing the ball over the plate Nobody
| blamed him. Tannehill raped a greunder
| to La Porte. Determined that this should
be no error La Porte took his time aimed
| carefully, and didn't come within five feet
| of Chase. The ball went to the bleachers
and Sullivan scored.
| Walsh hit far to center field for two
! bases, and Tannehill scored. Elberfeld
| managed to throw Hahn out, and the in
| ming was over, with nine runs to the credit
| of the coming champions" At least that
is what they say they are.
| When the New Yorks were walking in
| from the field three cheers were suggested
| In. for La Porte was trying to do his best
| even if he did make mistakes.
Newton Suspended.
Griffith announced this afternoon that
| Newton had been indefinitely suspended
He has been violating the rules of the
| club. Griffith didn't say just how, but
! his last victory in a manner which would
not make him able to pitch another for at
least week. The score:
Chicago. R.H.o.A.E. New York R.H.OAE
