thing.
This mutt, although a generally well-be

trait, and that was fondness for nib
bling at the legs of certain Of the Wash

in this playful occupation. especially when
the boys were arrayed in their base bal
clothes. The dog had a discerning. as well

BALTIMORE, Sept. THE Skeeters put
a severe crimp IN Baltimore's pennant as
pirations today and dumped the Orioles
into second place by winning both morning
and afternoon games. 1t was a mattef
entirely of pitching, with a little passe
fielding by the Birds on the side, III the
afternoon and Moore would have beaten
any team in The morning game. He was
simply invincible and until the last inning,
when the Skeeters had the game cinched,
never let a Bird get within a mile of a
run. Adkins, on the other hand, was
knocked out of the box in the fourth inning
and Schmidt, who followed him, was also
hammered practically at will. DeGroff hit
the ball over the right field fence, a feat
that has only been accomplished once or
twice before. The fielding on both sides
was good and Mt times brilliant.
The afternoon game appeared well won by
the Orioles up to the final inning, Dessau
started ont to excel Moore's brllliancy OF
the morning, while LATTE began in a way
that did not hint of medals. But conditions
became reversed. Desaau gave such evil
dences of~going to pieces that he was re-
lleved by DR.. Adkins in the eighth after
the score was lied and then all the Orioles
went to pieces. An easy pop was misjudged
by Cassidy as Il starter of the ninth. Hall

came in regiments. 1t can be said with ap-

played in notl gaines rs though it were the

THEY FOUGHT A DRAW.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. T.
Twenty-three rounds of fast and clever
lighting failed to bring about a winner
in the contest for the featherwefght
championship of the world between
owen Moran, of England. and Abe At
tell, of California, here today. t the
expiration of the fight, which was
punctuated by speedy and scientific
work on both sides, the referee pro-
nounced the encounter a draw.
The battle was held In the Coffroth MIS-
sion Street Arena and a large crowd was
on hand. The fact that the men had fougnt
ON even terms once before added Interest
to the fray, and there was much specula-
ton on the result. Attell was ~favorite at
10 TO 8 and a lot of money was invested on
his chances. Attell told his friends that
the last time he met the Briton he was
overturned and that he was unable to do
himself justice. His condition this time was
faultless.
Moran, too. was in tip-top fettle, and the
fight showed that the only way to test
the superiority between the two Is for q
agreed upon a contest of forty-five rounds.
but at the last moment 1t was cut down to
twenty-three rounds to suit both sides.
Up to the sixth round the fight was a
tame affair. The men displayed extreme
cleverness and We're not inclined to take
many chances. However. they landed often
and their blows did considerable damage.
