St. Louis Aug 27-Christy Mathew son pitched one of the best games of his eminent career yesterday and broke the losing chain of the Giants. Matty's luminous work on the peak. when he had all the speed, control and cunning of his prime, brought the rushing Cardinals to a halt and shut them out. The score was to in favor of the Giants, who gave Roland l for an Oliver. for in the first game of the double header they were shut out by tally of 1 to o.
 | Both games uncovered pitching of Asurpassing excellence. Matty's in the 9second and that of Doak and Mar 4uuard in the first The Rube and 3Dcak had a mans sized tussle in the yf1rst engagement and there wouldn't lhawe been any run at all unless in an extra inning, but for a wild pitch by Marquard The wild fling let Hug gins in from second base. That was because there was a ground rule. If { there hadn't been a ground rule, Hug I gins, would have reached third only on Jthe wayward toss and wouldn't have scored. That. however, was the for I tune of war Both Marquard and lDoak twfrled with masterly effect the rest of the way.
 By losing the second game the Car l dinals missed their chance to go to first place and by winning it the Giants held onto first place by a tenu- l ous margin. They did show, however, that they were prepared to battle hard before yielding the top rung of the 1 ladder. Though their hitting never took the proportions of a fusillade, they landed on Sallee spitefully for a while, and in both games the tactics they tried were executed with more vim than they have shown for some time. Their attitude bespoke more ginger and cleaner work generally. The scores:

Cubs Beat Braves in Riot.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Chicago beat Boston 1 to in a pitchers battle be- tween Cheney and Tyler. The game was marked by a fist fight with Heine Zimmerman on one side and with Naranville and Evers on the side of the allies. In the seventh round Vic Safer drove the ball over the right field fence for the only run of the game. Zimmerman singled on the next pitched ball and tried for double
 The fight started when Heine reached second. The Teuton claims that Evers hit him with the ball as he lslid in head first. Heine jumped up, squared away and the next instant the allies were upon him. Evers took a. crack and so did Maranville whu thought that his pal was in danger of getting the worst of it. Schmidt went ,Ealloping down to give any aid that he could to his Boston pals, but Um- lpire Eason and the players of both teams arrived and separated the com- thatants.
 An examination revealed that Zim- merman alone showed marks. Then the umpires took hand. They banished Zimmerman, Evers, Maran- vile and Schmidt. The Cardinals and the Giants seem to be the winners, for if President Tener suspends the play CTS it will riddle both the Boston and the Chicago infields. Smith at third would be the only regular in the inner defense for the Braves, while Safer would be the only man on the Cub inf1eld playing his regular position. sweeney and Derrick are now out with injuries.

DALTON SAYS HE WILL JUMP
IF HE GETS GOOD MONEY
Receives Offer Today IRON
Pittsburgh Federal League
Club.

An offer from the Pittsburgh Club
of the Federal League was received
by Jack Dalton, the Newark Interna-
tlonal League Clubs right fielder.
yesterday, according to a statement
made by the champions outfielder.
Jack says If the outlaws come across
with a big wad and guarantee his
salary he will jump. but it will have
to be a very allurlng offer, and the
money win have to be deposited to
his credit in a good bank before he
takes the step.
Asked what move ne expected the
Players Fraternity would take with
regard to members who jumped to the
outlaws, Dalton stated that the sub
ject had been ignored by the frater-
nifty at the last meeting pending the
granting of the requests made by the
committee headed by Fultz, which
took place this week. The Bengal
outfielder says that there is no chap
ter in the players union on which
Federal Leaguers are enrolled. and he
also stated that the subject of black
listing players from the fraternity as
well as organized baseball IL they
defy the reserve clause has not been
discussed.
1t seems that there is q big loop
hole in the agreement between the
powers that be" and the fraternity,
for this important question regarding
the fraternity's stand on Jumpers"
was apparently overlooked, and the
players can dc as they see fit. Dali
ton went on to say that six hundred
ball players had pledged their word
and signed an agreement not to at
fhofr Si0 IN contracts
until their demands were granted. He
also stated that the Baltimore Inter
national League Club, which has ten
of its men signed up, does not belong
to the union. The far-seeing Dunn
prohibited his men from joining the
organization last summer, and now
he has the laugh on the other fell
lows.
At the same time it Is extremely
lucky for Dunn that he did keep his
men from agreeing not to sign until
| the last moment, for Dunn has rival
from the outlaw league to contend
with, and would have double the
| trouble Of other managers.
What would the players have
DONE" Dalton was asked, had their
demands been refused?"
mot q man of the six hundred
would have gone on the training trips
If they kept their words, and most
of them meant business"
Speaking about his own case with
the Federals, Dalton said:
II have nothing against Newark;
in fact, like the city, and was de-
| lighted to return here last year.
think Harry Smith Is a prince. and
like the boys on the team, but 1t is a
case of getting the money when
have the opportunity. If / get the
price and the contract / ask for, I'll
jump in a minute" Jack, however
refused to state the price he asked
for his services-also the du-
ration of the contract he would like
1t Is probably so exorbitant that To-
cal fans need have little worry about
| losing the crack Bengal lead-off man
and pinch hitter.

but the committee decided TO call
1t off.
In the main boxing event James

Smith had an advantage in the first
two rounds. but Raymond almost
evened things in the last round.
Smith landed on Raymond's jaw with
q hard right a number Of times in
the first round. Raymond fought
back, but could not get in an effective
wallop. In the second round the mix
