Notes of the Game.

Dougherty OF the Sox and UngIaub of
Washington landed three hits each
The local lefthelder made three of the
six runs that were scored by the Comis-
keyites
Doc Whites benders never looked more
teasing. He struck out eight OF those W. o
faced him and got three in a row, Browne
and Milan in the eighth inning and Leli-
Welt in the ninth. The latter whitfield
three times.
Billy Purtell was back at third. but had
little To do outside of gathering in pop
Ups. He did not make any hits. but
brought in two runs with sacrifice flies.
The only ball pitched by White that the
Nationals appeared IL like was his soy
one. tnglaub reached him i single
and double and triple
Witherup was larruped whc h.is meant
runs. The Sox did more timely hitting
than al any time this season.
Browne was the only visitor to get to
first on pass. 1t did him no good at
that, for he was caught mapping by
Sulllyans snap throw to Davis.
Davis appearance at first and in the
coaching box appeared To lessen the
managerial burdens of Sullivan, for the
backstop caught beautiful game. He
threw To the bases just as he did sew
eral years ago when he had nothing to
Go but I've up To his reputation of the
best receiver in the league.
Davis showed that he can sprint for a
short distance, anyhow. in beating Milan
To the base after fielding his grounder in
the sixth.
Doc White pulled off a clever stunt in
the ninth which kept Washington from
making another run. sInslaub had
reached third on h 5 three Dagger and
started for the plate on Conroy's bunt
Both runners would have been safe had
White tielded tho ball He realized this
and thought he would let the sphere
snoock along, hoping il would roll foul.
which IL did. Conroy'S next attempt was
q pop foul 10 P,irtell.
Witherup could not Dunt a lick and
was out in the fifth on three bunt strikes.
Browne had the surprise Of his life
when Sully caught him of firsH He had
taken big lead and seemed to think ne
could not be reached. But Davis worked
his way TO the bag without attracting at
tention and put the ball on Dear III art :
two feet from the cushion.
Evans made an excellent decision on

guaranteed 5000 win or lose. with a
thousand extra for training expenses.
Now it didn't end there. Joe Woodman
ratified the wires around Boston and said
that neither he nor Langford had said
they would do anything of the k nd.
Twelve thousand five hundred for our
end, or no fight out there is what Joe
really did say. The original offer was
10000. of which Lang ord was to get
10000 said Woodman. but suddenly
it was cut down, not ketchell's end. They
cut 5000 from the original purse. and
made it up by taking it off Sans end.
Wen stand for a certain amount of bunk,
and we will be soothed with $4,000.
That's final for Ely concluded Wood
man.

Athletics Coming Again.

ST. LOUIS, July o1.-The Athletics won
the final game yesterday, defeating the
Browns by the score OF to -.
Cy Morgan. the Browns cast-on. was
the one to turn the trick and the way he
turned 1t caused the ST Louis fans to
wonder why "Cy" was ever let go. IT Is
true while Morgan'S support was of the
best order his pitching was largely re-
sponsible for the victory. Five hits are
totaicJ against him, but of that uanber
two were of the scratch variety, and
although the Browns threatened in at
tack in one or two innings they Wee held
we'll in hand by Cy's splitter and his slow
ball. which he varied consistently The
score.

Victory for Adams Express.

Soaking the leather for total of thir-

the lot, the Adams Express Company
nine defeated the Trainmen in the Rail-
road League yesterday, IL to 8.
The Trainmen presented the strongest
lineup of the season. and with Ryon in
the box looked good for four innin~s
when the bombardment of their lanky
slab artist. who was not accorded the
best of support. proved their undo.ng
Woodward of the winners was the bright

The Minneapolis fans have presented
loving cup to Irving Young in appre-
citation OF his fine pitching this season.
Patsy Dougherty of the White Sox led
the American League in stolen bases
last year with forty-seven and up to date
The Boston Nationals hold three rec
ords at the present time last i'm the
race. last in team fielding and last I'm
team batting.
'Ty'' Cobb has stolen more bases to
date this season than during all last year.
II 8 record last year was thirty-nine in
1JO games. He has already pilfered forty
bases this year.
Harry Davis has made two record hits
on this trip, one at New York and the
other at ST. Louis. Those fences at Shfhe
Park will have to be moved back or Har-
~ Will be losing lot of balls.
Pat Donohne. the Boston Red Sox catch
err. is showing class since Carrigan was
injured. The boy is light. but natural
born backstop with a good head and
game.
Moriarity of Detroit is arousing Tiger
fans by his frantic desire to steal HON.
every time he gets around to third base.
When that takes pla e home plate acts
like a magnet to Moriar'.y. and draws
him directly toward it. Out of four at
tempts he has stolen home twice this
year.
The Pittsburg club is somewhat worried
over Leitieid's arm. Manage Frsd C a ke
will likely send the big lefthander to
Bon setter Reese of Youngstown. in order
to have him look over his pitching arm.
The Pirates W II mi s him, as he was
doing some excellent work.
Another young pitcher did well for the
Highlanders yesterday. WARRIOR being too
much for the Detroits and the New
Works making it two straight in Tiger
town. New York's record To date on this
trip Is six won and eight lost The Atl-
letics shut out st Louis and Boston shut
out Cleveland Washington just escaped
shutout in Chicago.
Things We're all in order for the Giants
to gain on the Chicagos and Pittsburss
yesterday but the st. Louis Cardinals
spoiled the chance. They beat the Giants
for the third time in the present series
winning their second extra-innns game
this week. However. the Cubs and Pi-
rates did not gain any. which Is some
consolation. The Brooklyns held up the
Cubs and the. Phillies shut out the lead
ers. The Cincinnatis won from the Bos-
tons.
Johnny Evers. who has been at tho
other end of some great throws by John
King, and who has been watching youn.
Archer very closely, says: Just watch this
fellow Archer throw He is n better peg
ger than Killing. and that is saying a great
deal. He has shown big Improvement
since he has been with the Cubs This
goes to prove that IL makes no difference
how good one may be-. seine one will jump
in and do as well If not better.
