game with Philadelphia. Chicago winning,

Johns started the session with a single

base when Wyckoff took Schalk's grounder
and tried to force the recruit at the key
stone sack Cicotte sacrificed Johns to
third. and he scored the winning run on
Murphy's single to right
Cicotte pitched a great game allow
ing the visitors hut three scattered hits
it was a base on balls followed by a
triple which gave Philadelphia it's first
run, and when Cicotte hit a batsman and
a triple followed. that gave. them it's
other run.
Just before the game Manager Mack
and President Comiskey held a long con-
ference. but the White Sox owner said
that the name of Baker had not been
mentioned. 1t had been rumored that
when the Phladelphians reached here IL
deal would be arranged. whereby Baker
would be sold to the locals Comiskey
said after the conference that he did not
think there was chance to obtain Baker,

MAY NOT PLAY DOUBLES.
Mclaughlin and Bundy May De-

Club. Forest Hills. l.. l.. between
Maurice E. Mclaughlin and Thomas c.
Bundy, the holders, and another Pacific
coast pair. Clarence J. Griffin and Will
liam NJ. Johnston, the winners of the
sectional doubles tournament. may not
be PLAYED. Some of those in the know
have expressed themselves as being
reasonably sure that Bundy is not go
ing to make the trip east.
1t was planned originally that Bundy
would leave California for the east i'm
mediately after the playing of the west
end matches, and he was among those
invited to compete at the Lonswood,
Sea bright, Newport and Southampton
tournaments. but he has been missing
from each of these. No word has been
heard from him stating positively that
lie is or is not going to play 1t would
not be big surprise if he did stay out,
however. for last year. when he and
Mclaughlin had won the doubles cup
outright by taking the doubles cham
pionship for the third time. it was pre-
dicted freely that it was the last APP
doubles championship event.
Bundy did not play in anything like
high class form last season. and most
OF the experts had picked the chal-
hampionship. If Bundy did come east
now he probably would not be of much
help to Mclaughlin, for his play on
turf would be rather shaky. since he
has had no grass play this year.
In the event of Bundy remaining in
Los Angeles Griffin and Johnston will
win the doubles championship by de-
fault. Should this be the case it will
bring out the old arguments in favor
of doipS-away with the challenge round
in doubles and making it an open event.
like the singles. Much has been said
in favor of the open doubles and should
the challenge round be missing this
season it will give some impetus to the
movement in favor of making the event
a play-through affair.

terday. The st. Louis Feds returned
to st. Louis after a long road trip, and
despite the long absence and the re-
duced tariff. only about 5000 fans
turned out for the game. This number
was greater by almost one-half than
the turnout at Sportsman's Park, but
the Nationals end of the gate was
likely larger than the Feds split with
the visiting club.
Local papers are making much of
Sundays attraction here. Manager
Griffith. at the request of the local
management, has consented to reserve
Walter johnson for Sundays game. He
will be pitted against George Sisler.

of the University of Michigan. Walter

however, is expected to attract good

get commanding lead in some con-
test.
Branch Hickey has not been with the
Browns all week. Yesterday he was in
Atlanta trying to induce Billy Smith
to let him take Outfe1der Billy Lee,
former National. to st. Louis. Lee be-
longs to the Browns, but Smith wants
him to finish the Southern League sea-
son before sending him north.
Manager Griffith held conference
before yesterdays game with Presi-
dent Hedges of the Browns. The usual
rumors of a deal between these clubs
have not arisen as yet.
The Nationals were greatly surprised
when they failed to run into warm
weather in this city. On the contrary,
it was very cool, and last night
blankets were the rule. 1t was an
agreeable surprise. as the Griffmen
usually dislike to make" st. Louis, be-
cause of the torrid weather.
