Boston, July 26.-New York and Bos- ton played seventeen innings to a to. tie today. The game was the longest and the Best in many respects of any seen here this season. The contest was terminated by darkness. After the opening inning, when each team scored twice on poor work by the fielders, It became pitching duel between Ames and Mattern, the New York man hav- ing just shade the better of it. Hair raising and lightning infield plays saved the game several times after it had gone to extra innings. Mattern's work with men on the bases was one brilliant feature and catch by Thom- as while lying stretched out flat on the ground was another.
 New York went ahead in the fourth inning. when Devlin tripled and scored on Fletcher's single. The home team tied the score in the seventh on a hit and errors by Fletcher and Doyle. There was no further scoring
 ItNlooked like New York's game in the fourteenth, but with men on first and third and none out the next three tatters all hit to the infield New York had men left on bases every inning af- ter the thirteenth. Boston's best chance of scoring was in the last in ming, when Sweeney doubled with one out, but he was left on third when Graham was thrown out on a great stop by Fletcher, and Mattern famed. All the extra players on the New York bench were put off the field III ,ne fifteenth inning for loud talk, ana sev- eral Boston players were also sent off the field for the same cause.

WORLDS SLOW FIRE
 SHOOTING RECORD.
Private Reed of Wakefield Hit BuIIseye at 500 Yards 28 Consecutive Times.

Wakefield, Mass, July 27.-A new worlds record of 2S consecutive bulls- eyes, followed by narrow miss and Is more consecutive buuseyes, at slow fire on the 500 yard range in the Shu- man recently match was the feature of the opening day of the fifth annual meeting of the New England Military Rifle association on the Wakefield range here today. The new record was made by. Private George w. Reed of Company A. Sixth regiment, M. V. M., of Wakefield.

 One narrow escape from serious in jury marked the day when the pistol of Ensign Highburg of the naval acad- emy, Annapolis, exploded at the firing line. The barrel of the pistol blew out. whizzing by the ensign's head, but he was not even scratched.

FLANAGAN MAKES
 WORLDS RECORD.
Hammer Hurled 1s4 Feet at cIan-na- : Gael Meet, New Haven-ciIbsrt Nearly Made Record Polo Vault.

A new worlds record of 184 feet
 1 inches, for the hammer throw. and near worlds record of 13 feet for the pole vault, were the cream per- na-Gael games held on the Sav1n ROCK prairie Saturday. John Flanagan was in whirlwind form and when he heayed the 16-pound weight pretty nearly the
 width of the State league baseball grounds, the announcement of the feat
 brought the crowd of $500 people up
 with a roar.
 AZ c. Gilbert. formerly of Yale, and
 worlds champion in the pole vault, mances and got over the bar easily at
 12 feet 6 inches. This is within 3
 inches of worlds record, and he set
 the bamboo up, to 13, feet flat for a
 try for a height which would have given him worlds figures in his fa- vorite event for a second time, had he made the distance.
 On his first try Gilbert made one of
 the most marvellous jumps on record.
 He apparently cleared the bar. but as
 he fell his clothing barely brushed it.
 Down fell Gilbert and after he had
 reached the ground the bar tottered
 and finally fell down upon him. So
 much for the difference between new
 worlds record and a miss.
 Again and again Gilbert essayed the
 1S feet, but his strength was ebbing,
 and his later tries were more unsuc-
 cessful than those he made at first. More picturesque than any other
 event on the programme was the weight hurling of the worlds cham
 pions, Matt McGrath and John Flana- gan. Con Walsh, the Irish champion, is not to be forg gotten, for every one of the trio displayed form and force Al.~ .f..sr< anyone in the world, except the other two. The records of all there were above the intercollegiate competition statistics and far sbove the usual field competition.
 From the first it was clear that Flanagan was in the pink of condition. He asked for a practice throw and feaved the hammer 182 feet Flagan has held the worlds record since June 26, when he tossed the weight 18O feet at American League park. New York city. McGrath has in the meantime made a record of 1s1 feet but under conditions which make it probable that the record will not be allowed to stand.
 This left Flanagans 180 feet as the official figure for him to combat Sat- urday and his 1S2 practice hurl show ed him dangerous.
 ne tOOk d cOup4c Ol liiIOWS anu lhCti cut loose for the one which made new hammer throwing history. Sailing
 across the enclosure, he dashed the leaden ball into the earth after per- feet throw, made with three terms. The throw was measured and the announcer immediately shouted that worlds record had been smashed. There is only a slight excuse for disregarding the record, if this fate must be dealt it. There is the slight est down grade from left to right field on the baseball ground where the | throw was. made, but it does not seem possible that this will be sufficient | for the record to be thrown away. Tbe city engineers office will probably sur vey the grade and find it's exact
 amount and place their finding before | the A. A. U. Sporting men are unan-
 imous in believing that the record will
 be accepted.

New York, July 26.-All the tnewsies" in town who could spare time from crying "Wuxtryl Wuxtry!" crowde American league park this afternoon to see Mabel Hfte umpire a baseball game between two teams of chorus girls in full costume.

Ex-cbampion cIothisr Defeats Little

Boston. July 26.-Former National Champion William J. Clothier of Phil adelphia continued the strong showing he has been making in lawn tennis this year by defeating the veteran New York player, R. D. Little. in the upper half of the semi-finals for the Long, wood cup at the Longwood Cricket club today. The New Yorker played vigorously, however, and four sets were necessary to decide the match, which went to the Philadelphian by the score of 4-6, 6-s, 7-5, 6-2. Tomorrow Clothier will meet R. H. Palmer of New York in the finals. and it is g-n- erally expected that National Cham pion William A. Larned, who has Aone leg. on the new cup, will defend the trophy on Wednesday. Larned has been practicing for several days past with former Champions Beals C. Wright and Malcolm ID. Whitman and he said today that if his knee. which Ee injured while playing several weeks ago, did not bother him any more than it has in practice he would undoubted- ly endeavor to secure second leg on the cup.

Terrific Heat and Rough Roads En-
 countersd on Way to Denver.


 More tired than they have ever been on any previous tour, the men who are contesting for the Glidden, flower and Detroit trophies reached Denver Saturday night thankful for the two days rest ahead. For three days they had passed through an almost txeeiess country with a blazing, bliste1ng sun pouring on their heads.
 Some, as soon as the cars arrived. washed the first coat of prairie grime from their faces and took train to Colorado Springs, not to return until Monday night.
 Saturdays run was the cuimination of three days running through sand and through country that, although productive-for the most part. had a sameness that brought no relief to tired eyes. So terrific has been the heat. on the plains of Nebraska that men who have spent years, in thus country and who have toured exten- slvely through the western states are suffering as badly from blistered faces as those who came fresh from. the east
 At Fort Morgan the road ended abruptly when the route left the Platte river and became little more than a trail. At places deep ruts and pitch holes were concesled beneath the grass tileL lidu DIOWn over these lnlTcQQcnl wagon tracks. and into these the cars plunged, striking their mud pans and axles.
 Fifty miles east of Denver the big Thomas press car broke through a bridge. Walter Winchester in a Pierce Arrow was following closely. behind and the two crews succeeded in get ting the Thomas out. The men then laid blanks across the broken places and repaired the bridge sufficiently for the other cars to proceed.
 With the arrival at Denver the cars have covered approximately nineteen hundred miles, of which one thousand and seventy y-seven were traversed this week. Saturday marking the end of the second leg.
 The official score given out Sunday left the Premier the only make of car with a clean score.
 This morning will begin the final leg of 751 miles that brings the tourists | to Kansas City. Reports on road con- ditions are such as to presage trouble Glidden and flower said that the re- | port that this would be the last Glid- l den tour was unfounded This is only | the beginning of these tours" said Mir Glidden.
