DOUBLE-HEADER BILL
IS GOOSE EGG FEAST
Cubs and Giants Take Turns
in Shutting Each
Other Out.

New York, Aug. 31.-Not until the
eleventh inning of the first game could
either side make any impression on the
opposing pitcher here yesterday, and
then the cubs made two runs, while
Pfester BANKED the giants again in
their half of the eleentvh. The giants
grabbed the second game. to 0, scor-
ing all their runs in one inning-the
fifth.
big crowd assembled to watch the
double-header and was kept at a high
tension all the afternoon The first
contest was chock full of excitement
tinged with nervous prostration. Time
and again both pitchers were skating
on thin ice, when some fast fielding
play would cut off incipient runs
The second game was draw until
the fifth inning. when the giants found
Reulbach impressionabIe and embaImed
the contest in one round The cubs
could not do anything at all with
Mathewson. and so the decision went to
McGraw's clan.
The first game was a great pitchers
battle between Pfester and Ames, with
base hits as scarce as actors who pay
admission to ball games. There were
all sorts Of situations that made the
goose flesh come and go on the giant
rooters, but Ames would wriggle out
of these holes with the facility of a
snake. There was brilliant fielding on
both sides that helped the pitchers out.
The cubs had more chances to win
than the giants had before they finally
dissolved the game. In the first five
innings only three cubs batted per
round, but in the sixth Tinker hit his
favorite blade of grass in the left field
with a triple. That looked good as a
starter. Archer walloped one to Doyle.
and Joe tried to score. It looked
strangely as If he beat the throw. but
Mr.. KLEIN said no, and he had the last
word. That was the first good oppor-
tunity gone to seed.

ney. Both parties claimed their bust
ness was Of a personal nature and in
fuenced In no way by the attitude of
the governor. Nothing developed today
TO show that Mr.. Hughes had inter

It appears that the police commits
sioner is anxious only to arrive at a
definite conclusion as to the legal stat

latter organization cannot be tempered
with at will by the police or district
attorneys office, as it is protected by
an injunction against interference.
Manager Gibson maintains that he is
within the spirit Of the law and that
he will prove the standing of his club
beyond suspicion at another conference
with Police Commissioner Baker to-
morrow.

Willus Britt is here. The irrepressible

making all this fuss about our not

would be little use in trying to drive
him into a training camp too far away

been so anxious about our starting as

talk that the governor intends TO stop
the contest. 1t viii be within the law
and strictly according to club rules.
How Ketchel wants to get at that
fellow. He has seen him fight twice
now, and he never talked of a match
looking easier than one in which Lang
ford was a figure. Papke? Well. I'll
admit we both held him a little cheap.
We found him mountain of strength.

don't you think we would fight him II
we didn't feel we could win. It's the
better gamble of the two. Sam or Jack

go begging for matches for a while.
besides losing $4,000 side bet we have

will be we'll paid for our work. and If
we stop him it will add $4,000 to our
Johnson gate If Langford whips US
we will have our end to sOothe US. and
we will know whether Steve is a fit op-
ponent for Johnson. Don't worry about
it. though. We will whip both men.
If they don't want US in New York we
will go anywhere. but we are going
to clean up Mr.. Langford before we go
home
"Ketchel will take his time and
leave San Francisco IN time TO suit
himself about the training The John

fall in Portola week properly 1t viii

I see they have also commented on
my letting Bob Armstrong go TO John
