Nothing doIng yesterday.

Nothing doing yesterday.
York-chicks are at it today in a
death struggle.
The Chicks were never known to
loose a double header to York.
Should Heckert loose both today
his dim pennant hopes will go glim-
mering.
The Lowell team today held the sea-
son scoring record for the New Eng
land League, having defeated Brockton
25 to 0 in eight innings. The game was
called on account of darkness. Lowell
made twenty-four hits off two Lowell
pitchers.
The New York Giants were prouder
today OF the feat they turned yester-
day in defeating the Chicago Cubs than
Trey are of their standing in the Ma
tional League race. By winning the
game behind JEFF Tesreau, the Giants
clinched the seasons series over Chi
cago, something they have not done
since 1905.
George Heckert has several offers
for Marty Kavanaugh, the hard-hit-
ting third baseman, and Doc" Milli-
man, one of his pitchers. Clarke
Griffiths wants Kavanaugh and it is
said that the Baltimore team would
like to have Milliman.
Trenton had no trouble In winning
the first game of a series from Allen
town here yesterday, 8 to 4. Oldham
allowed but hits and kept them
well distributed while Girard was
easy picking for his former team
mates, fourteen sound hits being
made off his delivery.
Atlantic City easily shut out Har-
risburg yesterday, to 0. The Buds
pounded Rube Bressler hard and op-
Senators and allowed but five scat
tered hits, not more than one hit be-
| ing registered in any one inning.
Atlantic City found Bressler partic-
ularly easy in the fifth session, when
| four hits, including a home run by
| Newton. netted four tallies. The
Buds shortstop made his circuit
clout with two of his teammates on
the base paths.
JEFF Tesreau's idea as to the exact
location of the plate was as cloudy
as the day at times, but despite six
bases on balls, he beat the Cubs by
holding them to five hits. Herzog
led in the Giant attack with two
doubles and a single in four times at
bat.
Both Managers Clarke and Doom
tried hard enough to win yesterday by
throwing pinch hitters in the game,
but the tussel ended in a tie after
twelve innings. The Phillies had six
teen men in the lineup and the
Pirates fifteen.
The Dodgers outbatted Cincinnati
eleven hits to nine, but lost by a mar
gin of five runs. King kept Indian
Johnson steady at critical times.
Both Allen and Rucker we're ineffec-
tive for Brooklyn.
Shortstop Weaver, of the White Sox,
chose yesterday to break into the hall
of fame for queer" plays With
Oldring on third he rolled the ball
to the pitchers box after falling to
catch Collins at second. Oldring
scored and a single drove in Collins
with the winning run.
The Cleveland Maps didn't have a
/ Weaver to help them along and went
down before the Boston Red Sox
Joe Jackson had two errors chalked
against him for the day.
Cobb came through the Detroit
? Yankee double header with FIVE hits
out of nine times at bat. One was a
triple. He stole a base in each game
Roy Mitchell again wrecked Wash.
