WoLFGANG MAKES
 NEW PITCHERS RECORD
Allows No One to Reach First Base
 in Ten Innings.

Lynn, Mass, Sept. 6.-For' ten inn ings Meldon Wolfgang of Lowell held Lynn to no hits and no runs, without a man reaching first base, in a New England baseball league game here to- day. This is believed to be a new record for organized baseball under the national commission.
 The records show four no-hit, mo- run games for ten innings, but Wolf gangs feat of allowing no man to reach first in ten innings is said to be unique. In the eleventh Logan of Lynn. the first man up, singled over second base. but Wolfgang again frightened up, and not another hit was made by Lynn until Orcutt got a lucky single in the twelfth. Lowell won. 1 to 0. Waller for Lynn gave four bases on balls. and allowed only i've hits, striking out ten. Wolfgang struck out five and gave no passes, Lynn had only one man left on base while Lowell had four.
 Wolfgang played with Albany. N Y. three years ago, when he was bought by tho Boston Nationals. and then sold to Lowell, where he helped win the New England league pennant last year, At the end of the season he was sold to the St. Louis Ameri- cans, who turned him back to Lowell tn the zprinS

DUDE ARcHDALE WINS CHAMPIONSHIP rRoT Pop oesrs Climbs Out of Hard Luck
 Streas--Billy Burke Second.

Hartford, Sept 6.-'Pop" Geers, the veteran, driver, after playing in hard luck in two races, carried off the hon DTS at Charter Oak park this after noon, behind Dudie Archdale in the free for all championship trot. He won the big race, heading Billy Burke. the. favorfte. in straight heats. While this was the track event of the after noon, in the Grand Circuit, it was not nearly as spectacular, nor did 1t arouse the interest displayed in the 2.0e trot which went to six heats in order to produce a winner.
 Cheney, a little mare driven by Jack Fleming of Dallas, Texas, had the courage and stamina to outlast fast company after making but a mediocre showing in the first three heats. Geers behind Anvil had two of the heats to his credit, when the stallion went lame and was withdrawn just before the start of the fourth heat.
 In the 2.07 pace. Geers' horse Early Thacker, proved tail ender, but when the veteran piloted Archdale to vic tory in the final race of the after noon he was cheered to the echo. Call ed before the grand Stand he was presented beautiful floral horseshoe.
 In three of the four classes inc rac- ing this afternoon was spirited. Spec- nlatton was keen as to the outcome of the free for all. Billy Burke appeared to be the choice. When the horses were sent away, Gay Audubon went orr his feet and never was a factor thereafter, being distanced. Billv Burke led to the stretch but was beat en out at the wire by Archdale. There was little to spare between any of the horses at the finish, Baryon May and King Brook both displaying good form. In the deciding heat, ArchdaIe and Billy Burke kept close. As the half mile was reached Billy Burke broke badly and the crowd groaned The game little stallion settled again and after closing up wide gap actually pressed Archdale to the wire where only few Inches separated them at the finish. ''-
 Alter Anvil was pulled out of the 1os trot, Cheney, Helen Stiles, and Oakuaie were left to fight 1t out. Cha ney proved too speedy. and took fhe next three heats, being hard pushed
 The AO7 pace went to Baron Al. wno was. trailer in the two initial heats. The Cox mount had the stav- Ins Qusltles, however, and proved su- psrior m the finishes to Longworth R.. which showed fine form all thorugh tho race. Eddie Dillard set the pace on the first heat. but after that was un- able to get better than third place
 In the 2.15 trot Ethel Lynn looked ike a winner. She took the first heat Tn snappy form, but acted badly in the starts. In getting the horses away in the second heat, Starter Newton gave the mare every chance, but was finalIv forced to ignore her, and, she was left al the wire. Lazelle, who was driyins ner, protested, and the spectators sided with him, but the starter ;,, $ brief address to the grand stand. made known that the horse had been actino badly all over the circuit and he ha6 to act as he did because he did mi desire to kill the other horses. ,Tht statement was accepted and the start. CT was applauded

INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE sTAnDINa.
THREE BOXING BOUTS
 STAGED AT NEW LONDON,
Kid Swift, Norwich Scrapper, Wins
 from Freddie oBrien in Fifth.

Three mediocre bouts, none of which went the limit, were staged in Aborn hall New London, Thursday night under the auspices of the Speedway A. C.
 Buck Falvey, after years absence from the ring, demonstrated anew what everyone knew, anyway, to wit: They never come back. Kid Palitz had punch, speed, better widn and faster footwork, and made Buck look like a novice most of the way. The bout was fast for the four rounds 1t lasted, Palitz doing most of the work The end came in the second minute of the fourth round. Repeated punches to the body and head had rendered Buck groggy. and while he was lean ing backward over the ropes and en- deavoring to cover up Palitz slammed in a dozen or more lunches to the head. finally putting Falvey into dreamland.
 Freddie O'Brien, the Mohican Kid, had enough of Kid Swifts game in the fifth round of the prelim and was visibly relieved when the referee waved him to his corner
 Swift. who Is a Norwich crapper, fought the last four rounds with a badly strained right arm
 Tommy Glynn, outweighed and out generated by Kid Austin, was so clear ly outpointed that all hands were well satisfied when the fray was called off in the second. This was the sna appiest bout of the evening.

REAL IRON MEN
 FEW IN BASEBALL
Joe McGinnity, Jack coombs and Ed.
 Walsh in This Class.

That peculiar niche in baseball af- fairs which is filled in by what are known as iron men, is one that has had few occupants. The iron men of note, real iron men, have been few and far between. The term Is applied only to pitchers, and means those pitchers whose constitutions are sufficiently strong to permit them to do more work in the box than most twirlers could stand. Unusual capacity for work and exceptional pitching ability are attrib- utes of the iron men of the mound.
 The first pitcher to whom the term was applied was Joe McGfnnity, and he came into 1t not so osmuch because of the frequency with which he pitched as his capacity for double headers. To this day he goes into the box often and few pitchers have worn so well.
 There are two other leading expon- ents of the iron man business. One is Ed Walsh of the White Sox, the most noted of the three, and the other is Jack Coombs. Coombs isn't pitching as frequently as he did last year, but his capacity for work, coupled with his skill as a boxman, tided Connie Mack and the Athletics over many a rough spot and pulled out many game in which some other pitcher had wabbled.
 Coombs, like Walsh, could stand be- ing hurled into the breach many time beyond the ordinary. and then his experience on the peak did the rest. Walsh probably has pitched in more games a year for the length of time he has been in the game than any other pitcher baseball has known. It was predicted half a dozen years ago that the inordinate wear and tear would get him, but he is still at it, and as effective if not as strong as ever. He is a spitball pitcher, too, another thing supposed to be very trying, but he contends that with him that form Of delivery is no more exacting on the arm than any other way of pitching.
 In his line there is and has been only one Walsh An idea of the great amount of work he has been called on to do may be had from the dates on which he has pitched this year. Those dates designated with 'x' mean part of a game, the others are full games: April 11. IA. IS, Elk, 23, BOX: May k, 2x, SIX, 11x, 13. 17. 20, 22x. 25x, 30; June 2x. Sx. 12x, 13, 1Sx, IT, 2l, 2Sx' 25x, 30; July 2x, 5 9, 10, lS, l!, zv' 2Sx. "A, 26x, 27, 30: August 2x, 4. 4, fix. 12, 13x. Twice in this period he pitched on successive days, June 12 and 13. June Is and IT. On three dtf- ferent occasions he has pitched on three successive days. April 30, May l and 3; July 23. 24 and 26. and August II. 12 and 13 Forty-six times so far he has gone into the box Truly 8 wonderful pitcher.

WOOD DEFEATS WALTER JOHNSON
Spectacular Pitchers Battle Results to Victory for Red Sox-Two Doubles Score Bostons Only Tally-Wood
 Fans Nine Senators.

Boston. Sept 6.-Joe Wood beat Walter Johnson today, winning his 14th straight victory in a spectacular pitchers battle which Johnson fought in the hope of protecting his American league record of 16 consecutive wins The score was Boston l, Washington O.. Thirty thousand people saw the game.
 The Hone tally came in the sixth in ming with two out Speaker hit into inc crowd in the field for two bases. Lewis. next up, knocked into right field for a double hard fly which Moeller was barely able to touch, Speaker scoring.
 Washington had more opportunities to score than Boston, but Wood was at the top of. his game in the pinches, striking out nine men. Johnson fan ned five, three of these being consecu- tive outs in the fifth. The Senators filled the bases, two men being passed in the third, and Wood famed Moeller for the third ou. Washingon had runners on second in the sixth and ninth. but they could get no farther, Wood flaming men for the last out on these occasions. Boston singled twice in the second inning off Johnson, and Laporte saved the game temporarily by brilliant catch of Wagners fly. Boston's only other chance except the one upon which they scored came in the fourth, when Speaker got to third after being passed, but Engle popped for the last out.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
FEW CHANGES IN PRICES. Yesterdays Movement Ran Largely to
 Specialties.

New York, Sept. s.-The movement of stocks today ran largely to special ties with virtually no change In most other securities of speculative im- portance. There was at times, how ever, some pressure upon Lehigh Val ley and Canadian Pacific, while other high grade railway shares failed to move beyond fractional limits, and U. s. Steel and the coppers were little more than steady.
 Some diversion was again furnished by the Tobacco group because of their extensive gains on relatively large issues, in which public interest has seldom been more than neglible, failed to excite more than passing attention The fertilizer stocks notably American Cotton oil, made sharp advances, largely as a result of cotton crop prospects, while Bethlehem Steel and Republic Iron were strong to the ac- compartment of another upward re- visiorein the schedule of finished iron and steel.
 The backwardness of the coppers, doubtless, had some connection with the drop in the metal abroad, together with reports that the statement of the producers association for August may snow a large increase or supplies. Among the less conspicuous special ties, National Biscuit, Central Leath- CT common and preferred, and Ameri- can Linseed preferred rose from one to two points.
 Over 50 per cent. of the days light business was transacted in the first hour, the balance of the session, espe- cially the last two hours being charac- terized by absolute inertia and another advance in call money to four per cent; the high price of the previous two days. The tone of the market at the close was heavy.
 Forecasts point to a cash loss of about s2,500,00O as against yesterday s estimate of almost double that amount. Cables from London and Paris, inti- mating that a probability of gold ex- ports to this country were secuted in authoritative quarters.
