WALLER SHINES IN SUPERB
 DUEL
McCann's Premier Slab Ar tist Was Invincible. Shut Out of Visitors Due to Reds Great Box Work Hess Also Pitched
 Effectively.

The pent up wrath of the Speed Boys for continued beatings within the past two weeks has been visited upon our last two opponents with such vim and force, that it is quite evident to the most pessimistic that
 the Mechanics have recovered from their slump and are on their way to
 the top again. Yesterday the boys
 spilled the whitewash all over the
 Meadow Larks, the visitors being un-
 able to shake string of Zeroes, while
 the Mechanics mixed their ciphers up in the middle with two run count.
 Red" Waller experienced one of those days when his curves were
 breaking just right, meaning that he was unbeatable. The luminous one kept them so we'll scattered that no runs came across. When the Larks did assume dangerous attitude, Red" just snuffed their aspirations with a strike out, turning down round dozen in this manner. Hess who was in excellent form parted with but four hits, but three of them, two for extra bases came in the sixth inning, deciding the contest.
 For the second day Skipper" Eley shone out above the rest. It was his triple over Williams head in the sixth that sent Luby's crowd home a beaten club. Waller reached second on a fine two bagger and was chased across when Eley slid his triple into left center. Hey scored a moment later on Bobby Stoves swipe in back of first. It was all good healthy hit ting, the kind that will always win games. The Mechanics got but few of them, but they came just right. They played that sort of game which made them so dangerous when they were leading the herd. Hope it is a revival.
 The game was not without it's set backs. After Bobby Stowe had chip ped in with his little hit in the sixth, he started for second when Tom Crooks unloaded a short fly into left It looked like hit, but Williams made clever catch. Stowe had to beat a hasty retreat to prevent a double. In turning about he turned back to first. When he got to the bag he had to be helped to the club house, while Snyder went in at sec- ond.
 The. best fielding feature of the day was turned in by Jimmy Burns the Lark second baseman. In the sec- ond. Ladd hit over second apparently for a sack Burns raced over behind the bag, and by brilliant back handed stop speared the rotund. A lightning turn and bullet like shot, dropped Ladd at first. The play was equal to any Bobby Stowe has pulled off around the keystone. Everyone knows how Bobby can play that posi- tion.
 The Larks had their best chance to score in the fourth. After Newton had raised a fly to Kocher Bill Yale bingled into center Luby came to time with a double along the left foul line pushing the ex-Orator up to third. Waller put the screws on the ball, breezing Jimmy Burns and causing Flaherty to lift fly to Hall, the kid racing out into left after the | boost. on the paths and they accorded MT. | Waller perfect support. Now for the | top. The score:

MISTAH JOHNSON DICKERS
 FOR A COSTLY HOME
 AMONG WEALTHY NElCHBORS

New York. Aug. 6.-"Jack' Johnson, conqueror of James J. Jeffries and champion pugilist of the world, is me- gotiating to purchase a residence in the very heart of the exclusive and society section of Brooklyn, where mil l1onaireS, judges of the Supreme Court, noted attorneys and Journalists, well known professional and business men reside. He is negotiating to purchase the fashionable home owned by Michael l.. Mclaughlin. a real estate man, at No. 32 PierreDont street.
 Johnson was to have taken title to the property yesterday. but the deal was postponed because he hurried to Chicago from Atlantic City to see his brother, who had been injured in an automobile accident. Baron Wilkins, owner of the resort in this city where Johnson makes his headquarters when stopping here, and who has been re- presenting him in the deal, announced that the title will be passed within a day or two. As soon as Johnson's sig nature can be obtained to the docu- ments, which have already been pre- pared they will be filed.
 Edward M. Gillespie. real estate broker, Is representing MT. Mclaughlin in the sale. It is reported that the pur- chase price agreed upon is $62,500.
 At the office of the Realty Associates it was stated that the cost of the house and lot complete to MT. Behr about twenty years ago was about S120,000. MT. Gillespie asserts that the house alone cost MT. Behr s119,000, and that the plot on which it stands. which is 376x100, had been assessed at 0,000.
 The house is of pressed brick and stone. beautifully decorated, is three stories in height, has a basement and attic and is covered with ivy. It was designed by Frank Freeman, of No. 132 Nassau street, the architect who de- signed the Orpheum Theatre, the Cres- cent Athletic Club house. near by, and the office building of the Title Guaran- tee and Trust Company, in Montague street.
 It is understood that Johnson, if the deal goes through. will maintain the house in a style corresponding to the

Hess held his bat with one hand A few weeks ago Hess was in an au- tOmobile accident at Savin Rock, be- ing pitched from a misbehaving ma-
 chine. In falling he landed on his left hand, spraining small bone, which deters him from holding the
 bat. It was laughable to see lawn
 he famed; the second he attempted a
 sacrifice, which forced runner al
 second, while on his third appearance
 he lifted fly to left. The injured
 member did not seem to have any
 effect on his pitching.
 After being beaten seven straight
 games by the Cubs, the Giants with
 Matty pitching, turned about yester-
 day giving them an awful drubbing on a 10-1 score. The Giants grabbed eight runs in one inning.
 Tommy Downey in the first game against Boston yesterday grabbed two hits out of four times up, and in the second one out of three.
 Pitcher Lundgren, the former crack heaver for the Cubs, joined the Sen ators yesterday. He may be used in the game against the Mechanics this afternoon.
 "Chappie'' Ward of the Champs has his name enrolled in the baseball hall of fame Yesterday he shut out the New Britains, his former team mates, without a hit or run. But one man reached first, that man Marsans, who was hit with a pitched ball. Looks as if the old Hartford hoodoo still pursues the Aviators.

 The owners of the Waterbury club are reported to have assured Tom Dowd that he can buy the franchise and players of the team at the end of the present season. It is stated that Tom is anxious to get back into this league.

 Boston, Aug. 6.-Hopes that either Ty Cobb or Larry Jajoie will soon ap- pear in the Red Sox line up are ex-1 citing the American league fans here today. The flutter is caused by news from Cleveland that President Taylor of Boston has displayed Lord as cap- tain of the team and he offered him for trade, making Engle third base man and Heinie Wagner captain in Lords place. It is understood that both Detroit and Cleveland have tried to h,--- Lord but have been refused. TayIor declaring he would sell the third sacker for no amount of money. Taylor will trade. though, and it is believed the known dissensions in the Detroit ranks will result in Cobb be- coming a Red Leg. Failing in this there is a strong possibility that La joie may come to Boston.
