league leaders attempted to down the
Cubs. yesterday, at the Windy City

knocked Lavender out of the box and
scored four runs in one inning, but

and Fromme finished the game for
the Giants.
Brooklyn dropped another game tc
the Pittsburgh Pirates. 1t was 4

score, which was 3D..

Connie Mack's Athletics took the
wrong cue and mixed things up bad
ly in the American Leagues produce
ton yesterday. The trained White
Elephants fell down before the lowly

surprised everybody, including them
selves, by winning two games at
Boston. This process of reduction
leaves the Maps exactly eight games
behind the Philadelphia band which
has been filibustering everything In
sight this season.

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn, Aug. T.
The ball game between the West
ports and the Nationals here yester-
day afternoon was called on account
of sunshine. The Westports, who
took the field in the ninth with a
lead of five runs, were declared
losers.
Everyone knows how bright the
sun is up here toward the last of
July Late in the afternoon it shines
in from across third base with
peculiar intensity. Mr. McArdle,
manager of the Westport team,
noticed that his men were admiring
it. and congratulated himself on
having collected a team of men who
were simple lovers of nature and un-
spoiled by the deadening influence of
professional sport. When three flies
had been batted to the fence without
a player making move to intercept
them, he was convinced of the
peculiar drawing power of the sun.

MONTREAL, Que, Aug. 1.-The
secret is cut! Kitty Bransfield has
been stealing our stuff. By our
stuff" is meant the Bengals system
of defense and attack. Harry Smith
has used what he calls the pitts
burgh system" in handling the TIGER
machine. Smith, a great admirer of
Fred Clarke under whom lie PLAYED
for several seasons, drilled the Ben
gals in Clarl5e's methods of playing
the game. Now 1t happens that Kitty
Bransfield also was a member of the
Filibusters, Buccaneers, Pirates and
whatever other things they call the
Pittsburghers. Kitty knows pretty
we'll the Clarke system and he has
fought fire with fire, meeting the Ben
gals at their own game. Thus it is
that the Royals have put up some
terrific fights and given the Tigers
some stiff arguments before the Ben
gals have beaten them this season.
After winning the first two games
of this series the Royals compelled
the Tigers to go eleven rounds yes
terday to break up a losing streak.
The old fighting spirit reasserted it
self late in the contest, and the
Tigers, who were trailing behind, 3
to 0, came through with two rallies
that tied the score. Barger, who had
relieved Shack in the eighth round,
pitched the last four innings and
got credit for victory by a score
of to 3.
Three bingles punched in a row by
Collins, Eddie Zimmerman and Gus
Getz netted Newark the winning point

however, We're not discouraged. With
two out in their half, Madden singled

Cuban, who has the speed of the wind
and the eye of an eagle, was directly

first inning and scored all the way
from second base by daring base

hardly be expected TO work again
until Sunday, when Rochester plays
one game in Newark Following that
game, Buffalo will be on exhibition
