Brooklyn. N. Y. July 15.-A wee bit
of rain kept the Cubs from victory or
defeat yesterday afternoon and gave
them a days rest in advance of their
soft series with the tailenders. There
was not enough rain to drive even the
angle worms to shelter either the
shores of Gowanus or on the banks of
the Harlem, but both local games were
called off
What little rain fell came just at
the right time to keep the fans away,
and when there Is a drought In the
box office 1t takes only a wee bit OF
rain to make the grounds too wet to
play. Chance and his men were really
disappointed. They don't like losing
games the way they lost yesterday. and
had their dander up to get even with
the Infants.
Although the weather was threat
ening as early as lunch time. and the
Brooklyn club is know to need only a
dash of rain to postpone midweek
game. the Cubs made the long journey
to Brooklyn instead of waiting until
the scrap was called off by telephone.
A few of them took a bit of practice
before packing up their belongings and
bringing them away.

.COULON TO BATTLE IN
ENGLAND DURING FALL
Johnny Plans Trip Across
Pond for Whirl With
Digger Stanley.

Johnny Coulon is planning trip to
England this fall. Johnny wants to
get on with Digger Stanley, the best
of the English bantams.
Coulon has never fought out of this
country, and he believes 1t is time he
is showing the foreigners just how
good he is. He knows he would not
have much trouble with Stanley, but
knows they would get a big gate, just
the same. Johnny Longs for some of
the glory and money Jack Johnson is
geeting on the other side, and does not
propose to let the black champion get
1t all before he lands over there.
Johnny will have a bunch of ban
tams to face when he gets back from
Britain. Harry Forbes, the come
back" champion; frankie Conley, jim
my Walsh, Young Togo and Johnny
Daily are camping on his trail, each
eager for the first chance.
Ad Wolgast is due in Chicago today
en- route home from San Francisco.

Nearly everything the White Sox
tried to do yesterday went amiss. and
the Boston Speed Boys won the last
game of the series, to O. thereby
crowding the south siders back into
fifth place in the race. The Speed Boys
should have won by a much more de-
cisive count. for they hit the ball hard
and often and ran the bases with care
less freedom. but failed to take adj
vantage of their opportunities. How
ever, two runs are as good as ten
when they win.
Doc White was on the slab for Chi
cago for his second time against Bos-
ton. but he wasn't in repeating form,
and eleven hits were made off him.
The Chicago infield. too. seemed badly
mixed on signals. and failure to cover
second allowed the visitors to run the
bases. However. these mistakes didn't
figure in the scoring, and only three
of the base hits helped Boston to the
two runs.
Larry Pape. who stabbed for the visi-
tors. also was out for his second game
of the series, having also won one on
the opening day. He was in better
form than before and held the s;ox
sluggers to four safe swats that were
so widely scattered they did no good
Pape had luck on his side in several
instances when remarkable fielding
helped him out of bad places.

VIA WIRELESS

San Francisco, July 15.--"What is
the standing of the clubs of the Ma
tfonal and American leagues" was the
first question of Inhabitants of the
Pribiloff islands when they gained
close touch with the outside world for
the first time through the new naval
wireless station. When the operator
tuned up his instrument he asked,
What news do you fellows want?"
"All the baseball news you can GET"
the islanders answered in chorus.
After sending the club standings the
Honolulu operator attempted to send
news of the coronation of King George.
Ditch that" exclaimed one. Ask
him for Cobb's batting average and all
about Eddie Collins, Honus Wagner and
Red Doom. The coronation can wait"

VERDICT AIDS
POOL SELLERS

Boston, Mass. July 15.-The efforts
of the local police to break up base
ball pool selling suffered a setback to-
day when Judge Bennett discharged
]. J. Sullivan and three others who
were accused by Lewis Phillips of hav-
ing defrauded him of $3.50. Sullivan,
1t is said. is the head of one of the
biggest private baseball pools in the
state. and is supposed to be interested
in number of others. He was de-
Tended by James H. Valley. a former
gubernatorial candidate. The accused
friends were greatly pleased when the
judge ruled that the evidence presented
was insufficient. 1t is said that the
recent umpire batting has been caused
by those who have losing teams in the
pools.
