sOX GRAPPLE.

Finding two hits in ten innings too
slender a diet to win on those baffled
Senators We're thrashed into silence by
teh Sox yesterday. Frank Smith never
had his brawny arm in better shape,
and much of the credit for the 2-to-1
victory hangs on him. One truly single
in the first and a scratch ditto in the
second forms a brief summary of the
hostiles feasts at bat.
1t is really shameful the way Pat
Dougherty breaks into the spotlight of
late, and here he comes again. After
making one hit in the fourth, which
helped a lot in scoring the first run, he
was deliberately passed twice by Bert
Keely in succeeding rounds when a hit
meant run. But he literally forced
the eX-Gunther whirler to stick one
over the pan in the tenth inning. Only
one was dead at the time, and first and
| second were occupied. Pat burst with
might and main on the ball and drove
in Hahn with the winning run.
At that the Sox had several chances
to rake in the goodies long before the
tenth page was turned. Just when
something seemed darkly imminent q
double play or pop to the intield
would change the aspect.

SPORTING NOTES
START ON A HARD WEEK.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2.-Chance and
his worlds champions arrived here
early this morning from Boston for a
day of rest and recrea ton before start
ing the hardest week of the season. To-
morrow they tackle Billy Murphy
Phillies-and as the Cubs and Quakers
now are playink the fastest ball of any
two teams in the league a desperate
series is expected.
The Cubs hope for four out of the
five to be played in the four days stay
here, while the Phillies are predicting
that they vii ltake three in five. Brown
and McQuillan have been prepared
especially for the opening game to-
morrow and chances were regarded as
the game already won.
Many of the Cubs slept all morning
as they had a hard ride down from
Boston and arriving at s a. m. Killing,

PITCHER WALSH OUT OF GAME
Injury to Arm From Thrown Ball Dis
abIes S0x star TWirIer.

Pitcher Ed Walsh will not be able
to play with the sox for some time.
When he was hit on his left arm by
Johnson in the Washington game Fri
day he partially lost the use of it, and
yesterday he was unable to move it..
The arm was swollen to twice its usual
size and hurt and star spit ball ar
fist every time be moved.
The loss of Walsh at. this particular
time is severe blow to the Sox, as
Ed has been winning more than his
share of games, and could generally be
depended on in a pinch. Luckily for
the ex-champs. Frank Smith is back in
the game and apparently better than
ever Otherwise it would be hard sled
ding for those SOx.

GREAT GAME At HARBOR

and Business Men Meet
in Combat.

Indiana Harbor, Aug. 3.-(SpeciaD-
If you didn't see the game of ball Sat
urday between the skilled mechanics
and the bankers, merchants and pro-
fessional men. you missed it. There
probably have been better games of
ball played from a scientific standpoint,
but no one expected science to cut in
large chunks Saturday.
The B. NJ. p. NJ. were altogether too
much for the S NJ City Father Monroe
Schock lasted five innings, as pitcher
for the S Ms and did very well, that is.
he only allowed seven runs and ten hits
during his reign on the slab, to say
nothing of a couple of balks.
At the end of the fifth innings Frank
Schock, who had been playing third
base, yanked his big brother out of the
box and thought he could do better
himself The enemy amassed four runs
off of Franks shoots.
City Father f. V. Walton didn't seem
to make a great hit as a first baseman
with the captain of his side either for
he was chased off of the initial sack
and relegated to right-feld where the
chances were fewer and the excuses
better. Chick of Joe Long team of

For the B. NJ. Ps, Doctor F. E. Step

ing the only man of the opposition to
score in the nine innings. Mertens
caught him all right too. Ericsson
played first without error. although
back stopping is his long suit. Egbert
on second Witt at short and Robinson
on third formed the balance of a stone
wall fnffeld that nothing could get
through When it comes to running
bases though Nick Fox has got then

No date was set for a return game
but undoubtedly the two teams will
nave one. The score was B. NJ. and Ps

Oakland parks have two more victories
to their credit. Last Saturday they

of the strongest teams in Northern In
