CUBS DOWN SOX
 IN 3RD STRAIGHT
SLUGGING OF CHANGES MEN

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Broken in spirit by the rout of Walsh and the count | standing against them, the White Sox were beaten by the Cubs again yes terday by the pronounced score of 8 to 1. At no stage did the pale hose contingent get within hailing distance of victory, and would have suffered an 1 artistic .ka1sornining but for Bodies triple, the only extra base slam gath cred off Cheney
 Cal1ahan's men were outelassed, outbatted and outpitched. Raked fore and aft by a terrific onslaught in the opener, when Cicotte was vainly striv- ing to play a comeback role, the Sox were beaten almost before they start ed Three runs blossomed from two passes, a pair of mighty slams and an error. A second broadside fired in the third spelled the finish of Cicotte.
 Half the swattfng in this period, which netted three markers, was har- vested at Cicotte's expense. Tinker and Zimmerman exploding singles. With these two on the runways, Cal lahan stabbed his battered starter and brought out Frank Lange A hurri- cane greeting by Schulte, who gave home and wild heave by Kuhn later scored Schulte
 From this point to the finish the assembled 1e,000 spectators were of gilt-edged hurling In fact, the honors went to Lange, who hurled Dr11l1anCly, though at t1I1 eS unStead1Iy, flaming nine Cubs in the remaining seven rounds All these Strike-outs were scattered through five rounds, the third. fourth. fifth. sixth and seventh.
 Weakening a bit in the ninth. Lange was nicked for a single, then pass, linked with Saiers second triple, put across tallies number ' and S. Cheney held the Sox to eight safe slams. Bath, Bodie and Zeider each having a pair.
 Members of the White Sox and Cubs held an informal council of war last night which ended in a decision to make a demand for participation in the receipts of the first six instead of four games of the city champion ship series. This is because the first two games played resulted in ties.
 Doe White and Johnny Evers, rep reSentativeS on the board of the Play CTS Fraternity, have forwarded to President Dave F'ultz a Presentrnent of facts, which it is expected the National Commission will act .on.-
 If the appeal of the players is not granted their part of the city series will be $35,O63.67. Of this sum S21,- 038.20 will go to the winners and s14,- O25-47 to the losers, a basis Of 60 and 40 per cent
 The final dividend will be slightly under $500 for each of the winning players and about $500 for each of the losers. This compares with $S75 and $631 slast year.

BATTING AVERAGES
 IN WORLDS SERIES

fBv Wagner.)


 The Boston Red Sox had a little luck at last. After the game at the Polo grounds yesterday coin was tossed to see where the seventh decisive game should be played. Manager McGraw of the Giants tossed a silver dollar over his head and Manager Stahl of the Red Sox called heads The Bos- ton leader had called the turn and McGraw, who was bitterly disappoint- ed, muttered a few cuss words to re- lieve his feelings.
 The only way the Giants can get an other contest on their home grounds is by making one of the Boston battles a tie. In that case coin would be tossed for the selection of the next field and the Giants might call the turn Of course if Boston wins today the series would be all over. In the struggle and the clubs clashing to- morrow for the final decision, the count would show that five games have been played in Boston and three in New York. This was brought about because the first game in Boston re- suited in a tie.
 There is quite a difference between playing for the worlds championship and battling for the city title. Rube O1dring, one of the Athletics out helders, says his team got $S2.75 each for the series with 'the -Phi1lies Last year Oldring got over $3,0OO as his share of the receipts for the Giants Athletics games.

MAY SUTTON, TENNIS
CHAMPION A BRIDE

Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. IL.
"A notable merger of tennis IT,
ties was made last evening when
Thomas Clark Bundy, national
doubles champion, and Miss May
Sutton of Pasadena, formerly
woman tennis champion of the
world, We're wed here.
The wedding took place at
Christ church and was an event
in the tennis world as well as a
pronounced social function. Simp-
son Sinsabaugh, the tennis ex-
pert, was best man and Miss
Florence Sutton attended her SIS
ter.
Miss Sutton was reported en-
gagged to Harry B. Ham, banker
of Mexico, in July, 1909. Cupid
served a fault" in the engage
ment, to draw on a technical ten
mis- term, however, and Miss SUIT
ton announced several months
later that the engagement had
been broken.
cts all off," she said, by way
of explanation, land I'm glad to
be footloose and fancy-free."
Miss Sutton in the tennis world
has occupied unique position.
Throughout her career as a ten
mis- player she has been unbeat-
able, and she lost the title of
world champion simply because
she did not go abroad to defend
it. 1t was said at this time that
Miss Sutton had grown tired of
victories on the tennis court, and
they no longer had charm or ex-
element for her.
Bundy shares his doubles ten
mis- championship with Maurice
Loughlin of San Francisco. When
he is not playing tennis he sells
real estate in Los Angeles.

WHO EVER HEARD OF AN AMERICAN
CITY TURNING DOWN BASE BALL!

The big mitts cracked together
in the lobby of the Tacoma hotel
this morning.
Hello, Joe!" said the owner
of big mitt number one.
"By thunder, if it amt Bob!"
came back from big mitt number
two.
And Joe McGinnity, the Iron
Man of baseball, and his old-tIme
opponent slabster, Bob Gale of
Tacoma, sat down i'm "a quiet
Granny of the big hostelry for
nice peaceable palaver.
They talked some of Joe's new
project, the Tacoma Tigers. They
dwelt for a time on the raising
of farm products, which is Bob's
later triumph since he left the
big leagues; and they unused long
and fondly over the old days 20
years ago back in Pittsburg.
Right out of the cold and fog
and rain, Old King Baseball step
ped for half an hour and heard
himself praised and petted and
joshed as eagerly as during the
world series just before he hi

bernated for the winter.
Two huskler looking men than
Joe and Bob couldn't be found
in the whole world OF athletic
sports.
I'm coming over to see you,
Bob" said Joe as his old friend
of the diamond backed away
slowly at the end of the chat.
Just as quick as l get chance
I'm coming over to the farm
with the wife and daughter and
We'll talk some more about the
times when we were kids in the
game together"
The Iron Man settled back into
divan, crossing his legs.
Who'd ever thought Bob was
way out here?" he smiled. Gosh,
knew him in a minute. Great
man in his day, but that left arm
of his gave out too soon. Mighty
good to see that old face again"

There is no more earnest, whole

You know it when he looks you
