He isn't sure that he does. in spite of
the string Of 40 games in which Ness

The fact that Jimmy Johnston is run

UNDINE INDICATED OF
ANAL0STAN'S CHARGES
Regatta Committee Dismisses Protest
Against Local Boat Club.

At a special meeting of the 4th of July
Regatta Committee at the Colonnade Ho'
tel last evening the protest of the. Analos-
tan Boat Club. of Washington, d. c..
against methods said to have been em-
ployed by the Undine Boat Club, of this
city. in winning the senior eight-oared
shell race was heard. The protest was
not sustained.
The Analostan Club made three charges
against the Undines The first one was
that c. L. Borie, the No. 6 man in the
local crew, was not member of the I'm
dine Club at the time the races were held,
while the second was that Pepper. who
was seated at No. 5. had not been MEM
ber of the organization for 30 days. The
Undlne Club records showed that these
two statements had no foundation. Had
they been true the Undine Club would
have been guilty of breaking rule No. 3
of the National Association of Amateur
oarsmen. The third charge was that Pep
per had not been listed on the program,
In direct violation of rule No 8, which
says. There shall be sent to the secre-
tary of the Regatta Committee in all cases
of entries for eights list of not more
than - names, etc"

CARMAN AND WILEY, RIVALS
IN BIKE RIDING, TO RACE
Motor-Paced Feature, 20 Miles, at
Point Breeze Drome.

After celebrating with Champion Car
man at his home in Jamaica L. l., for
several hours yesterday, Jack Roden'
manager of the Point Breeze Park Motor
drome, finally got the riders signature
to a Contract TO meet George Wiley. the
ex-champlon, on Thursday night In
special 2O-mile motor-paced race Carman
agreed to meet Wiley last week, but
baked at the distance. desiring a longer
race, but deviated from his decision only
with the proviso that Wiley capture last
Thursday nights race at the motordrome'
There is a feeling of bitter rivalry be-
tween these two riders, as It was Car
man who took the championship from
Wiley last year and the Syracuse lad has
never gotten over the sting of defeat.
This race should border on the phenom-
email. due to the fact that Wiley bettered
Carman's record for the track last Thurs
day night by two minutes, and taking into
consideration that he did IL after re-
pairing a puncture and losing two laps
and a half before he got started again.
He feels confident that he will give Car
man his hrst defeat % the season this
week.
Manager Roden has also arranged for
a 30-mile motor-paced race among three
well-knOwn riders, namely, Colombatt,
the Italian: Percy Lawrence the lanky
Californian. and Menus Bedell, Of Long
Island, the noted six-day bike" rider.
There will also be four motorcycle events.

The ninth game in the Philadelphia Rail-
waymen's League will be played today.
The question mostly asked is: Whether
the Frankford Club can check the rush
of the Allegheny team, which has won
every one OF the eight games thus far
played?" Frankford's manager will line
UP his best men in today's play and
is confident that his proteges will turn tho
trick.
Without doubt the leaders have a nine
that outclasses any of the othor clubs
Their ability to produce hits when need
ed Is one of their valuable assets. Dave
johnson has been their mainstay in the
box. He heads the pitchers records
and has famed 20 men in a single game.
In last Fridays game with Ridge Ave-
nue., Johnson collided with the catcher
Of the opposing team while stretching
triple into a homer and, although hurt.
he finished the game for his team. john

JOLTED PILLS CLASH
WITH CUBS AGAIN TODAY
DEMAREE DUE TO HURL
Moran's Men in Slump
After Heated Sessions in
st. Louis-Pierce May
Pitch for Bresnahan's
Revived Bunch.

CHICAGO. Aug. 3.-Two straight vic
tories over the Phillies have revived the
pennant hopes Of the Cubs and Manager
Bresnahan hopes to take the next two
from tho Phlls and put The Cubs back In
the fight. Yesterdays victory placed the
Cubs on even terms with the Pirates for
third place. The Cubs pitching staff APP
pears to have found itself, and If this
end of the team is we'll taken care of the
fans think the Eastern clubs will have a
hard road to travel here.
Either George Pierce. the southpaw spit
ball pitcher, or Jimmy Lavender. who
finished yesterdays game, will be allowed
to face the Phillies this afternoon, while
Manager Moran will depend on Chalmers
or Demaree, with chances favoring the
latter.
Chalmers has pitched splendid ball
against the Cubs this season. but 1t is not
likely that Moran will take chance on
twirler who receives the bad breaks
Chalmers always gets. Demaree has
pitched grand ball. and had won five
straight games until that Unfortunate
blow-up in the ninth inning in st. Louis.
This defeat started the Phils on slump
which may pull them out of first place IL
It is not stopped soon,
In the two games played here the
Phillies have shown but little hitting
strength and the team Is badly crippled,
George whItted is suffering from bad
leg. while Bobby Byrne is still feeling the
effects OF the heat in st. Louis. Manager
Moran blames the weather encountered in
St. Louis for the Phils' slump, but does
not think 1t will last much longer.
