Decidedly battered as to percentage
but not broken as to spirits, the White
Sox returned yesterday morning from
Cleveland, glad that yesterdays sched-
uled game with the Maps had been put
off until Oct. / and that a three day
respite from strenuous endeavor was in
store for them. Last night fourteen Of
Duffy's men were sent to Canton, ILL.,,
to give the Illinois Missouri league
fans a treat this afternoon.
Before leaving Manager Duffy had
the whole squad out on the south side
arena practicing on the grave of a Rus
sian Lion as lively as If they had not
been subjected to a worse licking than
Hacks. Those six straight defeats at
the hands of Cleveland have removed
their chances for a first division berth
SO far into the distance that it is diff
cult to see them with the naked eye.

NOT HURT ENOUGH
TO BOTHER GAME MAN
!. DECLARES DR.. ROLLER

The question of whether Hacken-
schmidt sustained an injury in his
training previous to the match with
Gotch on Labor day sufficient to affect
materially his chances was answered by
DR.. Roller yesterday in the following
mann~r:
Admitted that Hack may have suf-
fered a not unusual accident during the
course of his training, it under no cir
cutrnstances was great enough to have
prevented really game man from max
a far better showing than he made.
Knocks. bruises and slight strains
are the regular thing rather than the
exception during the preliminary work
and the Russian sustained no more
than the average. He certainly was
not injured sufficiently to prevent his
doing his best in a physical sense on
the mat.
NO. no. Hack was beaten by what
l predicted would best him. if he was
and that was lack of real gameness
He couldn't stop thinking of the match
in advance and he couldn't view it in
the same light in which a courageous
man would have viewed it. He fretted
himself into nervous condition and
when the crucial moment came his
heart was gone. He started in on the
mat bluffng himself and he quit under
pressure"
Referee Smiths decision calling all
bets of on the match was the talk
among sporting men yesterday. Gener-
ally it was applauded, though in not a
few instances it led to considera BILE ar
gument.
Jim O'Leary. who in his book had
Gotch and the Russian run up to $50

returned all wagers to their original
ma kers. Among individuals, in some

LEADING TEAMS HAVE CHANCE
TO BETTER POSITIONS TODAY
First and Second Clubs Will Figure Promi-
nently in Games This Afternoon
Damphier's Hitting Feature.

The leading teams in five of the differ.
ent amateur leagues have chance to-
day to strengthen their positions. In sis
of the circuits teams are scheduled tC
play in games which will have decided
bearing on the championship.
Three of the teams which are playing
today have excellent opportunities tc
make good their hold on first place, as
they are scheduled to play teams WHICH
are recognized as being entirely inferior
and from which they should easily win
Hamline should have no trouble getting
away with the crippled Ingram team in
the Sunday School League. The Cornell
nine. in the Capital City League, will
hardly find much trouble disposing of the
Marines. Andrews in the Commercial
circuit should find the Telephone aggre-
cation easy. while 1t is not probable that
Kendall will have any trouble defeating
the st. Martins nine in the independence
League.
One or two real battles are likely to
occur, though. In the Marquette League
the st. Stephens team will fight hard to
overcome a part of the handicap which
the Naval Medical School now has on it.
while it is also probable that the Adams
Express team will not Succumb to the
Aloysius club without strenuous argu-
ment.
The record for long-distance hitting was
set yesterday I'm the Independence League
by Chucky Dampier when he clouted the
ball for two home runs out of three times
at bat. Johnny Greer, the Catholic Uni
versity pitcher, was the man whose
slants were Strengthened by the Man
haitian third baseman and sent back
faster than they were delivered.
Dampier is not hitter who gets one or
two long drives in a contest and then
goes two or three games without getting
a sign OF another. but so far this season
he has been doing consistent work with
the bat. and many times his hitting has
been the greatest factor in winning
games for his team. In the game that
his club lost to the Kendall team some
time ago he drove in four of the five runs
scored and got across the plate with
two TALES himself.
A great many of the home runs and
long hits which are secured by the play
ers on the local amateur clubs are
due not to especially long drives. but
in many instances are simply due to
else the inability of the fielder to handle
ground balls.
The Walford club received another sur
prise yesterday in the Commercial
League, when 1t went down before the
Potomac Electric Power Company by a
6-to-4 score. The Walford team had
everything its own way in the first in
Ming when 1t chased two runs across
the plate, but 1t failed to hold it's adj
vantage. and in the fifth the newest team

| in the league scored four runs on clean
hitting.
Two high school boys played a mighty
important role in the undoing of the
Walford aggregation yesterday. Morris,
tho caught for Tech last spring. cleaned
up with a home run with two men on
in the fifth. besides getting one other
hit, while Meyers, the Western first base
man, came across with two timely sin
giles. Both Meyers and Morris played
excellent fielding games, the former on
first and the latter behind the bat
Ted Sullivan. who pitched for the Po-
tomac team yesterday, is the man who
Las been doing the bulk of the work in
the box for the ST Stephens club in the
Marquette League. Although Sullivan
has been leading TIE Marquette League
in batting all this season with a per-
centage of over 400. he failed to land
hit in yesterdays game out of four
times at bat.
This afternoons game in the Marquette
League will just about decide the pen
nant in that circuit or else make the
play even closer during the remainder of
the season. The Naval Medical School
and the ST. Stephens team has been
fighting it out all season for the leader
ship. they being about the only two clubs
which have been recognized as being in
the running for the championship. The
Naval NEEDS now lead with a margin of
two games. and if they get away with
the game this afternoon it is not likely
that they will be Overtaken by the st.
Stephens aggregation. If St. Stephens
wins then one of the hottest finishes in
any of the leagues will be the result.
While Manhattan won a game yester-
day, and went half game ahead of the
Kendall club in the Independence League.
the latter aggregation has an opportunity
to even matters up today, when 1T goes
against the st. Martins crew. 1t is not
probable that the Churchmen will prove
much of an obstacle for the X endall club.
but it is barely possible that they will
spring a surprise as during the entire
season they have played erratic ball.
putting up a championship article in one
game and the next looking like a bunch
of thirteen-ye ar-olds.
1t is more than probable that the tie
in the Independence League Will not
really be broken until the Kendall and
Manhattan clubs themselves meet again.
and then the winning club may not hold
it's lead. as two more games are scheduled
between the two organizations.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS
TODAY'S GAME.


ST Stephens VS.. Medicos
Tenleytown had an easy time defeating
Company X yesterday afternoon in the
Marquette League by the score of II to ).
seventh inning.
StadIer who has lately developed into a
star pitcher for Tenleytown, was again
on the mound for the winners, and
twirled a good game.
Braddock and Presgraves were the
pitchers used by the Company X team,
each twirling three innings. In the three
that Presgraves pitched nine healthy bin
giles were made. while but three were
made off BraddOck.
Out Of the whole twenty hits made dur
ing the game only one was an extra-base
hit. This one was triple made by Smith
of the suburbanites in the fourth inning.
Torbert played a good game at third
base for the losers. taking several diff
cult chances, and also connected for two
hits.
Stadler outside of pitching good
game. put up a great fielding exhibition
in the box, taking seven chances without
a miscue. Stadler connected for two safe
hits both of them timely.
Today's game between the two leading
teams ought to bring out a large crowd.
If the MedicOs win today they will doubt
less have the pennant cinched, while, on
the game they will still have a chance to
cop the pennant in this league. Both
teams promise to have their strongest
lineup on the field.
