Steel Company.

Indiana Harbor July 15.-(SpeciaD-
After an all-night debate in Sam
Cohens. Bill Clapper finally consented
to give the Nine-Inch mill the game and
also the top of the league. For nine
long innings the battle was furious. The
final score was Nine-Inch. Is; Bar
Mill. Il.
Harvey Red and his husky team of
bushelers had a run away with the
Eight-InCh men today, the score being
81 to for the Bushelers. At no time
during the game were the Eight-Inch
men able to bunch hits, and it ru-
mored that the 3 runs made against
the Bushelers were a gift. Heine Cohen,
the only rooter for the Eight-Inch team,
lost his voice. There is now tie in
the league, the NineInch and the
Bushelers have both won one game.
The next game between the Bushelers
and the Nine-Inch promises to be a hot
one Manager Richards of the Bush
elers says he will play all his substi-

WHITE soX BAD LUCK.

Philadelphia, July 14.-With the score
to 0 in favor of the White Sox and
one man out in the last half of the
fifth inning, Umpire Connolly stopped
the game between the Chicago and Phil
adelphia teams this afternoon because
1t started to sprinkle. 1t was one Of
the most glazing cases of favoritism
ever displayed by an umpire in ball
game.
The one run that had been scored by
the Sox was made in the first half of
the fifth. The storm that broke over
the park in a few minutes after Con-
molly stopped the play had been com
ing up from the start of the game. A
few drops had fallen during the third
and fourth inning, but it was only a
light shower when it did come and did
not last more than ten minutes. When
the fifth inning started the rain was
coming down in gentle drops, but after
the Sox made their run the Athletic
players began to delay the game as
much as possible.

MURPHY AND HYLAND DRAW.

New York, July 14.-Thomas Murphy,
the pride of Harlem, and Fighting
Dick" Hyland. the doughty little scrap
per from the Pacific coast, fought a six
round draw at the Navarro Athletic club
in Timer park tonight. The battle was
a terrific one in the last three rounds,
but at the end neither had decided ad-
vantage.
The men agreed to fight straight
rules, and for the first three rounds
Murphy kept away from his opponent,
Holland kept boring in, trying to get to
close quarters, and whenever he got
into clinch he let drive his fists into
Murphys stomach.
At the beginning of the fourth round
Murphy rushed from his corner and be-
gan to whale away at Hyland 1t took
the westerner about half a minute to
realize what was happening. but when
he finally did get his bearings he evened
matters by his heavy body punches.
Murphy had a shade better of the
fifth round. but when the bell rang
for the last session Hyland came up
strong and the two battered each other
all over the ring. When the final bell
sounded, both were fighting hard in the
center of the ring.
