Carl Anderson Promised
Good Go IF He Beats
Young Mahoney.

SHUTS OUT THE SOX.

st. Louis, Aug. 31.-"Rube" WaddeIl
shut out the white sox, to 0, here to-
day and prevented Comiskeys gang
from crowding the browns out of sec
ond place in the American League pen
nant race, which has become extremely
close in the last week.
Manager Jones of the sox was crazy
to land the opening game with the
browns and sent his best card, Ed
Walsh to take Rube's measure. For
four innings Walsh moved down the
locals, but he became tangled up in a
mess of base hits in the fifth, which
were enough to win the game, mas
much as the sox couldn't score at all.
But the browns came back with anoth-
err cluster of swats in the sixth and
Jones took Walsh out to save him
for another day.
