Row With O'Day Patched Up-Eb-
 bets Goes After Pitchers.

Manager Hank O'Day of the Cubs celebrated yesterdays victory over the Giants by establishing peace with Outf1elder Frank Schulte. Hank lifted the suspension after he and his lit tie warrior had talked over their diff ferences of the previous night and decided both were partly to blame.
 The row between player and man. agr developed in the corridors of the Colonial Hotel Wednesday night. Schulte was angry at O'Day for not notifying him before a recent game that he would be benched O'Day re- piled that he was manager. This led to a heated argument in which O'Day finally suspended the player. Schu1te left the Colonial Hotel vowing he would never play with the Cubs again. 0..
 Charles H. Ebbets announced yes- terday that he was determined to bol- ster up his team regardless of war and expense. He called Scout Bill Dahlen into his office, loaded him with money and authority to talk business and sent him out on the highways to gather material for next season. Dahlen is expected to make pilgrimage of all the large minor leagues, starting first with the South ern Association. He is supposed to keep his eyes open for everything of merit, but will specialize on pitch ing prospects.

BRITONS DEFEATED

Boston, Aug. 1.-Two well won victories in singles gave Australasia a long lead in the tennis contest with the British Isles for the honor of meeting America in the challenge round for the Davis cup next week. Norman E. Brookes just managed to defeat J. c. Parke three sets to two. 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, Is, 7-5, while A. F. Wilding of the same antipodes team put out Arthur H. Lowe in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1, 16-14. Both Austral- ians were forced to the top of their individual game and Brookes was much exhausted when Parkes' las, stroke went out of court.

SHAMROCK W. NOT DUE YET.
Whereabouts Still a Mystery, but No
 Cause for Worry.

New York, Aug. 7.-The where abouts of the cup challenger Sham rock ". is somewhat of a mystery, but there will be no occasion for worry if she is not reported off the Hook for three or four days yet In company with the steam yacht Erin she left Fayal in the Azores at 5 o'clock on the morning of Wednes- day, July 29. Up to that point she averaged 200 miles a day, and if she continued the same rate of speed she should reach Sandy Hook next Sum- day.
 The Erin is equipped with wireless and has reported the progress of the yacht several times. On a few days she made far below the 200 miles she averaged going from Falmouth to Fayal. She might make a fair prize for some German cruiser. but what they could do with racing yacht now is hard to say. The Erin. how ever, would be a valuable find for the Germans.

SAYS BLUEJACKET IS HIS.
Robert B. Ward Claims That Indian
 Accepted Terms in June.

If the Giants can show me pri- ority of claim to his services they can have him. said President Robert B. Ward of the Brooklyn Federal League club yesterday, while discus sing the assertion of the Giants off, cials that Jim Bluejacket, the Indian pitcher from Illinois, signed an iron clad contract for two years with them before he was put under contract by the Tip Tops last week.
 But they will not show any pri- ority right continued Mir. Ward. "Bluejacket accepted our terms back in June, long before the Giants ever heard of him. have both a letter and telegram from him with which ] can prove this if it is desirable to do so." s".-....
 It was rumored that several scouts of the Giants sat in the grand stand at Washington Park yesterday to watch Bluejacket pitch and see if he was worth fighting for in the courts. He shut out the Kansas City team.

It is admitted by the Red Sox that
 Second Baseman Steve Yerkes has jumped to the Pittsburg Feds His defection will not injure the Beaneat- CTS, inasmuch as Manager Carrigan recently asked for waivers on his ser vices. Practically all the major league clubs decided to pass Yerkes up, so it looked as if he would be shipped to the minors. The Pitts feds, it is said, offered to pay more salary than Yerkes has been receiving in Boston.

PLANTERS AT ODDS
 ON THE LAST LAP
Internal Trouble Threatens to Spoil
 Chance for Pennant.

There is a small sized war now go- Ing on among the Planters, accord ng to reports, and Bill Powers is folding the center of the stage. 1artfords twirler has been getting bad with Gene McCann, it is said, ,ecause he has been hitting the high spots and not keeping in condition, and McCann has read the riot act. Stories to this effect have been pub lished in the newspapers and Powers is looking for somebody's gore, but thus far has not done anything des- 1perate.
 To add fuel to the disturbance a story has been printed that McCann has signed up a new pitcher named Milliman, who was one of the strik- CTS in the Tri-State League, and he did not wish the news to get out so soon, but it was published.
 Now McCann declares there is leak omewhere and he would like to find out its location. Troubles of this nature will not help club along in it's Rennant aspirations. and they are by no means far enough ahead of Wa terbury to have the championship clinched.

New York. Aug. 7.-The conflict be- tween the Giants and Cubs at the Polo Grounds yesterday was a treat for the baseball patron who can enjoy a savory baseball repast, win or lose. The Giants lost. They lost to B. 1t was a treat because there was an abundance of excellent playing, con- stant closeness and feverish uncer- tainty in the last two innings
 The Cubs won for three reasons. be- cause they punched six of their seven hits off Matty in the last two innings: because Matty gave a base on balls at a critical time: because Stock dropped a ball at third after putting it on runner, and, possibly. because of failure to snatch an opportunity in base running in the ninth inning.

afternoon proved that the red auto
