GIVEN
SOME ADVANTAGE
Switching Credit for Game
Makes Difference in
Pennant Race

The ruling of President Lynch that
the game which Umpire Brennan for
feited to the Giants Saturday should
be credited to the Phillies slightly
changes the aspect OF the National
league race. The switching about OF
the credit for that game, together
with the victory of the Phillies yes
terday and the defeat OF the Giants,
reduces the lead of the Giants to eight
full games.
Although the Athletics lost to the
Senators yesterday. they made a gain
OF half a game over the Maps, due to
the double defeat suffered by the Maps
at the hands of the White sox. The
Athletics now lead the American
league by Tx games.
The Cubs dealt out a double defeat
yesterday to the Cardinals, grabbing
off the first game to and the second
game to l. big Jim" Vaughn. for
mer Yankee twirler. who is attempt
ing to come back" allowed the Car
dinals only three hits in the second
pastime.
The Red Sox trimmed the Yanks in
easy fashion yesterday, touching up
McHale, the recruit New York twirler,
for 10 hits.

The Braves played rings around the
Giants yesterday and took an easy
victory, 8 to 2.
Eppa Jeppa Rixey, the tallest south
paw In captivity. pitched the Phillies
to a victory. aiding in his battle with
his huge war club, with which he
poled out a triple that put the game
on ice.
y
Sharkey. the Athletics young
twirler. after pitching mastery ball
for seven innings, faltered and the
Senators jumped upon him for two
runs, which were enough to win the
game.

LINE OF MEDALS
Pacific Association VIII
Not Stand for Brand of
Trophies in Sight

The Pacific Association of Oarsmen,
which is the controlling body of row
Ing on the coast, last night decided
| that unless the Portola COMMITTEES
would allow the winning crews to
select their own medals the clubs
of the association would not partfcf-
pate In the scheduled Portola cham
pionship regatta.
The Rowing Regatta association
formed one of the big features Of the
last Portola. and the winning crews
accepted medals given by the Portola
committee at that time. The crews
claim that the medals received were
not up to the standard promised to
the association, and that there will be
no regatta this year unless the men
are given a free hand &c select their
own medals.
The Portoia athletic committee, of
which John Hammersmith is chair
man. has appropriated a. sum of money
to be awarded to the oarsmen for
prizes, but the committee has decided
that If the rowing association wants
the regatta 1t will have to take the
medals supplied by the Portola. The
rowing association last night claimed
that this was too dictatorial a policy
and pointed out its bylaws provide
that all money for prizes be turned
into the association treasury.
The association has power to sus-
pend this bylaw to meet special
emergencies. and is willing to do II
in the present instance, provided the
Portola will allow the oarsmen tc
select their own medals and not force

not think will be appropriate as row.
