Brooklyn Beats Braves.

BROOKLYN, n. Y. July S-After
making it four straight from Boston
by winning the first game of yester-
days double-header, 4 to 3, the Brook
lyns fought out sixteen-inning run
less tie.
The first game was battle between
southpaws, Smith having a shade on
Tyler. The Braves got a three-run lead
in the first inning on three hits and an
error by OMara. but after that they
could do nothing with Smith. Dau-
berts home run to center. two errors
and single tied the score in the
fourth. The winning tally was scored
by Cutshaw on Il pass, two outs and
Getz's timely hit.
The second contest was called at the
end of the sixteenth inning on account
of darkness, after Douglas had fought
great duel with James and Davis.
The Braves got only one hit off Doug
las in the first nine innings, and only
four altogether. James allowed two
hits in five innings, and then gave way
to pinch hitter.
Davis pitched great ball in the last
eleven innings, keeping the nine hits
off him well scattered. Both teams had
numerous chances to score, but were
stopped by brilliant fielding. Scores:

NEWARK FEDS TO MOVE.
Patronage So Light That Club Is
Seeking Another Home.

NEW YORK, July SIT was stated
in Newark on excellent authority last
night that the Newark Federal League
club will be transferred to another city
before the close of the present season.
The patronage at the new Harrison
Park has been SO poor that the venture
has proved a disappointment to Pat
Powers and Harry F. Sinclair, the own
ers of the club.
Base ball has been a big failure in
Newark, both at the International
League Park and also at the Federal
Park. The International League club
was shifted to Harrisburg. and the sup
port Of the Feds has been so poor that
the Federal League officials are seri-
ously contemplating the transfer of
the club to another city. Some time
ago the club released its manager, Bill
Phillips. in order to reduce the ex-
peHSes.
Tho venture IN Harriso was very
costly. a large amount o: money was
spent in the construction of the plant
at Harrison Oval. which will be bur-
den on the hands OF the league when
the transfer is made. The sunday pat

SEVENTH STRAIGHT
LOST BY GR|FFMEN
Both Ends of Final Double
Header at Boston Taken
by Carrigan's Team.
BY j. ED GRILLO.

BOSTON. July 7.-Instead of break
ing their losing streak here yester-
day, the Nationals again dropped both
ends of the double header with the
Red SoX, making seven straight de-
feats. Gallia did not prove as effec-
tive as was expected, and his offerings
presented nothing in the way of a
puzzle to Carrigan's men. Engel
pitched good ball in the second half
of the bill, but Griffith's players
seemed unable to get next to Dutch"
Leonard The score of the first game
was 3 to 4, and that of the second,
ito 0.
The one real feature of the double
bill, as far as the Nationals are con-
cerned, was the splendid showing of
Engel. The youngster seemed to have
fair control and plenty of stuff on
the ball. with the result that he prob
ably won a regular berth for himself.
Leonard and Wood did not seem to
have any great amount of steam and
curves in their repertoire, but the way
the Nationals are going now they did
not have to show much to win

BY J. ED GRILLo.

BOSTON, July S.-The rebuilding of
the Washington team by next season,
with comparatively few of it's present
members remaining, is a move contem-
plated by Manager Griffith. who is SO
thoroughly convinced that his pres
ent lineup is not fit to battle as a fac
tor in the American League that he
does not hesitate to say So
This team is too weak with the stick
to be given serious consideration any
longer" said Griffith. "A change must
be made, and there will have to be a
thorough cleaning out. We need hit
ters and pitchers. too, and L am going
to get them if they are available. l
propose to go scouting myself this fall
and no player will be brought to my
team that l have not looked over for a
week or so in actual playing. There is
nothing left for me to do but to think
of the future. I need a lot of new play
ers, for this team has been bitter
disappointment to me. 1 have got to
clean house, and the sooner / get at it
the better I'll be off. ] know that it
will be no easy matter to plug up the
many holes which exist, but / shall try
mighty hard to do this. rely on that
The Nationals have played eleven
games since they left home and they
have won two and lost nine. This is the
worst showing they have made since
Griffith has been in charge. The team
is lamentabIy weak with the stick and
the entire pitching staff seems to have
fallen down. though it could not have
won in most instances because of the
light stickwork of the team. Three of
the six games played with Boston have
been shut -outs; in two others a single
run was scored, and in the first game
yesterday more runs came to the Ma
tionals than they made during all the
other games-four.
The easy manner in which Boston has
disposed of the Nationals in the recent
series is very apt to create the i'm
preston that the Boston team has the
pennant cinched, but that is a mistaken
idea, for to best the Nationals as they
were going did not require much of a
team. The Red Rox look no better
than they did earlier in the season, and
this will very likely be proved before
the campaign is over Neither Wood
nor Leonard are the pitchers that their
performances against the Nationals
yesterday would indicate. Wood has
little, and proves it, and Leonard al
ways has been overrated, and is by no

means in good form now The Sox
cannot continue their present pace very
long. The western trip is pretty sure
to give them a setback, for the western
teams are sure to be going better now
than they were when they came east.
Gallia is one of those pitchers that
have off days. Yesterday. for instance,
he could not make either his curve ball
or his splitter break, and as result he
was hit harder than he has been at
any time this season. The next time
out Gallia may be able to show up to
good advantage again.
Hereafter Joe Engel will be used
regularly, according to Manager Grif-
fifth The youngster showed up better
yesterday than any of the pitchers who
have been used against Boston, and he
seems at last to have acquired fair con-
troll. Griffith proposes to give him lots
of work in the hope that this Will I'M
prove him. Jim Shaw. too, is to be
pushed to the limit, and he is expected
to improve with hard work. Shaw is
very apt to be selected to pitch the
opening game in Chicago Friday. lie

and he seems to be of the kind which
prospers with plenty of work.
Milan made a play in the fourth in
ming of the second game which will go
down in base ball history as real feat
With Gardner on second and the bases
full, Milan sneaked in to second base
from his position in center field and.
getting a throw from Henry, retired
Gardner, who was not suspectinS that
he was in the slightest danger The
crowd was amazed as much as was
Gardner, for no one had seen Milan
come in from the outfield and he
seemed to have come up out of the
ground, so sudden was his appearance.
There will have to be lot of differ
ence in the playing of the Nationals If
they expect to break their losing
streak while in Chicago, where the
White Sox are sure to play their best
ball. as they always do when on their
own grounds. 1t is, however, not likely
that the Griffmen will continue their
slump much longer, for it seems that
time is about near for the team to win
a game or two.
The Nationals are travelling a pace
which reminds one of the world cham
pion Braves this season. Stallings'
team appears to be anchored in last
place, for the Braves cannot hit much
more than do the Nationals. The
Braves seem to have gone entirely to
pieces. and it is not likely that they
will draw much in Boston, where they
are to have a long stay, unless they
brace up materially and show some of
their last seasons form.
