SECOND FRAY.

Milan and Walker put the first run over
the plate, in the first round. with a pair
of singles. Only fast sprinting by the
speedy Clyde gave us the tally.
And maybe Walter didn't have that
speed! With the darkness to help him.
the Athletics were lucky to get one hit.
And Eddie Plank spoiled a no-hit game
for our Walter.
Emerson had busy time of it in the
second inning, taking two aies in success
sion.
Earl Mack played third in the second
battle and did not have a chance. Earl
is the son of the Athletics leader, Connie
Mack.
Mack laid down a bunt in the fifth ses-
sion. and Gabby Street was on the job
making a good heave to John Henry. It
was fast work.
Waite: famed four in six innings
Tom Long gave us the second run when
he singled over second base. The young
ster looks better now that he is over that
sick spell.
In the sixth round Eddie Plank walked
up to the plate. whitfield at three. and
walked right back again. None of the
Athletics worked hard.
Kid Elberfeld had some hard chances
In the second his stop and throw of
DerriCk's slam was a peach.

We had a chance to tie the score in
the seventh, but Umpire Egan called
Germany out at first after the run
crossed the plate. To the fans it looked
as II Germany was safe by yard. But
Egan said no. Germany witnessed the
remainder Of the game from the bench.
Emerson put up a neat game in the
field, his catch of Ainsmith's foul fly
in the ninth being a corker.
In the ninth session Barry slammed
hot one to Conroy, which the Nationals
third sacker threw to Henry about an
inch ahead of the runner. Only a long
reach by Henry saved a hit.
Emerson followed with a screamer to
Mcbride. and he, too, was thrown out at
first by perfect throw.
Bay Morgan worked out in ;practice,
but his leg is still too weak to allow him
to play.
Buck Becker's Southeast friends have
purchased a big diamond ring for their

FLYNN ouTsoxED BARRY.
Boston PueiIist Had Advantage in Ev-
 cry Round But First.

New York. August S.-Porky Flynn of Boston outpointed and outboxed Jim Barry of Chicago in a ten-round bout at the Twentieth Gentry A. C. here tonight Flynn had the advan- tage in every round but the first and showed some clever work, attributed by the fight followers to his recent association with Sam Langford as sparring partner. Barry, who seemed to have little but a father wild swing, took a good beating through repeated lefts and rights on the wind and over the heart and right smashes over the kidneys which Flynn landed.
 In the sixth round Barry knocked Flynn down with a right swing to the side of the head. Flynn took nine seconds and then jumped up ready for more. In the seventh Barry slipped to the floor, but was up quickly and in the ninth Flynn had similar mis- hap, but was up as speedily.
 The Boston man refused to mix it up when Barry rushed and repeatedly stood him off by skilful boxing.

JULIAN STEPS MILE IN 200 FLAT
Equals Worlds Trottng Record Wagon Cleveland Grand Circuit-New York Took Two Games From Detroit-Collins Featured in Athletics Victory.

Cleveland, O.. August S.-Uhlan, the champion trotting gelding. owned by C. k. G. Billings of New York, equaled the worlds trotting record to wagon at the North Randall track here to- day, stepping the mile in 200 flat
 Conditions that were not exactly fa- vorable prevented his breaking the record established by Lou Dillon at Memphis, Tenn, on October 2s, 1903, when she did the mile in similar time. The track was not as fast as usual. A ftful breeze also tended to hamper him.
 Mir. Billings drove the gelding. When he steered his charge past the three quarter pole in 1.30 the immense crowd present felt sure that a record would be broken, for Uhlan has always been noted for his finishing strength. How ever, he faltered slightly on the stretch and when the judges, after a compari son of watches, finally announced the time, it was found he had failed in his attempt to lower the record.
 The quarter was timed at 29 14; the half at 59 3-4; and the tfree-qua-r ters at 1.30- The attempt was n~<e immediately following the conclusion Of the regular programme.
