BLUNDERS BY SOx
BRING DEFEAT. 4-3
Battle of Twelve Innings
Goes to Red Hose, Clos
ing Series.

Boston. Mass, June BASES on
balls and fielding and base-running
plumbers conspired to keep the White
Sox from running out of Boston last
night with Smoky Joe" Woods scalp
in tow and three games out of four in
this series. Their own costly misdeeds
beat the Galatians and enabled the
Red Sox to pull OF a victory by a
score of to 8. but IL took them twelve
innings to do 1t.
In the regulation number of rounds
the worlds champions made only three
hits, while the White Sox made eight.
but because of too much inside basa-
ball the visitors had no more runs
than their opponents. The count at
the end of nine sessions was three
apiece.
Then both teams Strengthened out
and played superb baseball, verging on
the miraculous at times. and it was not
until two were out. in the last half of
the twelfth. that the final fatal base
on balls gave the champions the crack
through which they yanked the game.

BRAVES NOSE OUT
BOOTING CUBS. 50
Errors in First and Fourth
Rounds. Give Boston
Four of It's Tallies.

Those Boston Braves don't care how
they win ball games. They had the
nerve to accept a present of victory
from the Cubs yesterday and are 60
ing to allow 1t to be credited to them
In the official records, just as II they
mad gone upon the battle field and won
IL by means OF athletic endeavor
The figures engraved on the gift are
to 4, the four representing that many
nard-earned runs by the Cubs, while
the ave shows the total count given
to Boston, one OF which they deserved
and four of which were hurled upon
them by Johnny Evers' reckless young
men.
TO those who sat In the grandstand
and saw the performance 1t was a
clear case of the Cubs throwing a
game, which is counted as the worst
crime a ball player can commit. The
only thing that can save the reputa-
lions OF the west siders is the fact
that they didn't throw ii on purpose
1t was quite apparent they were max
ing strenuous EFFORTS to win IL every
minute Of the time. and those terrible
throws were purely accidental and part
or the national game.

trod a bridge, won a funny retort
from "Fighting Bob" Evans, then COM

Must Dip Mexican Cattle.

NoGALEs, Ariz., Feb. l5.-Orders
we're received by the Arizona collector
of customs from the federal bureau of
animal industry which almost will
prohibit the shipping into the United
States from Mexico of any large
quantity Of cattle.
The order provides that cattle may
be admitted only after having been
dipped twice at intervals of seven
days. The cost Of feeding for that
length of time and the limited capacity
of stocky ards at the border points,
are expected to prevent the fulfllment
OF numerous contracts calling for large
shipments. Forty thousand head have
been contracted for at this point alone.

her.
Finally, to his relief, the teacher rode
up. Shaking with laughter, he asked
the agent how he liked his new wife!
Then the latter understood what he
had done. In certain tribes Of the
Sioux Indians all a man needs to do in
order to get a wife is to induce a girl
to uncover her face. The agent had
proposed in the usual way-and been
accepted.
In vain did the agent plead that he
already had a wife in the east. There
was only n way to get out of it.
