TRUE ECONOMY

Not long ago locomotive fireman
was up for examination for promo
ton to the post of engineer. He
passed with flying colors as to rules
and machinery, but all during the ex-
animation the superintendent kept
harping on the saving of oil and coal
Having finished the technical part Of
the examination, the superintendent
bethought himself to see what the
fireman might do in an unexpected
emergency, so he asked him:
"Supposing you are the engineer
of freight train on a single track
and you are in a head-on collision
with a passenger train, and you know
that you cannot stop your train and
that the collision cannot be averted--
what would you do?"
Still tense on the matter of fuel and
oil economy, the fireman answered.
why, I'd grab the oil can in one
hand and lump of coal inrthe other

NATIONALS DONATE
CONTEST TO TIGERS
BoehIing and Williams Present
Visitors With All Their
Runs.
COBB GETS SOUTHPAW'S
GOAT AT THE OUTSET
Locals Have Opportunities, But Luck
Breaks Against Them in
Pinches.
BY J, ED GRILLO.

Every one of the five runs the Tigers
scored in yesterdays game were gifts,
Joe Boehling and Alva Williams con-
tributing all of them, as result OF
which the Jennings team won it's sec
ond straight game from the Nationals,
score to 2.
Boehling did his donating in the very
first inning when Ty Cobb got his goat,
the extent of the gift being couple
Of runs Here is what happened:
After Bush had been retired kav-
anagh and Cobb hit safely. Crawford
was out on grounder to Morgan and
then Veach was walked and so was
Burns, the result being that kavanagh
was forced home Cobb followed this
by stealing home while Boehling was
winding up.
The rest of the runs came in the
fifth and seventh inning as result OF
some weird work by Williams. In the
fifth inning Bush singled and after
Kavanagh had been retired Cobb also
hit safely Bush and Tyrus pulled the
double steal and Williams threw into
left field, both scoring. His final con-
tribution came in the seventh when
Moriarty was apparently thrown out
at the plate when Moeller picked up
Steen's single and whipped 1t to the
plate and Williams dropped the ball.
Boehling, as usual. was ineHectiVe.
He seemed to have lot of stuff, but
he was constantly in the hole and then,
of course, was hit rather hard HIS
support, too, was weird, as already
described.
There was but one redeemlng feature
to the defeat and that was that the
theory that Bill Steen has something
on the Nationals was once more ex-
nloded. for Steen was driven from the
mound In the seventh, and II he had
heen left there undoubtedly would
have been given a trouncing
The Nationals had several opportunl-
tics 10 take the lead, on two diferent
occa sions having the bases full. but the

TENNIS CHAMPION LOSES
Miss Wagner and Miss Cassel Defeat
Miss Bjurstedt and Mrs. Wood

NEW YORK, June 19.-In one of tb.
most spectacular tennis matches Of tbe
season Miss Marie Wagner, former in.
Cassel yesterday defeated Miss Mol,
Bjurstedt, the national title holder
and Mrs. Rawson Wood in the final
round of the women's doubles tennis
match on the courts of the Crescent
Athletic Club at Bay Ridge in straight
sets at 60. 13-11. Nearly two and
one half hours were required to bring
about the defeat of the champion and
her partner. during which time A bic
gallery enjoyed a contest replete with
brilliant playing and crowded with the
elements Of uncertainty.
Miss Bjurstedt again demonstrated
that she is essentially a singles pIay-
advantage with a partner as she does
when relying on her own resources.
The doubles game is not fast enough
for her. and she allows her mind to
wander. from the progress of the con-
test Miss Wagner and Miss Cassel
played one of the best combination
games seen in the metropolitan district
this year. Three times they were an
parently beaten in the second set but
plucky rallies pulled them through.
They directed their attack against
Mrs wood. who stood up remarkably
we'll under the determined efforts to
wear her down.
The final match in the singles will
he played between Miss Bjurstedt and
Miss Florence Sheldon. The former de-
feated Miss Clare Cassel 60, 6-2, and
Miss Sheldon eliminated Miss Florence
Rallin in the semi-final round g.

not been more valuable than his pres

has made that infield one of the best

1t seems hut question Of time when
the Boston Red SoX will fulfill the pre-
diction Of their gaining lead in the
pennant race. CarriEans team is only
few points behind the White Sox and
is coming with rapid strides. Nothing
but series of accidents can stop that
team from going to the front and re-
naming there. according to general
prediction, but this is not assured by
any means, for many things may hap
pen to kill their chances. On paper
there is no doubt that the Red Sox

ably will find that pitching in the
American League is a bit different
from twirling in the school games.
Chief Fender appears to be all in. He
has won but few games for the Ba1ti-
more Feds this season, and the other
day he was hit for nine runs in four
innings and was forced to retire from

healthy salary. and the Feds will have
