The Brooklyn Barrier.

Brooklyn's inability to work up steam upon the road
has cut in heavily this clubs pennant outlook with
only fair back of her. Brooklyn to-day would be
breezng tidy in front, with safe margin to shield

At home in her drive she able to win some
thing like 81 of 26 games. But of her last II games

GIANTS BATTLE
NEITHER UPWARD
NOR DOWNWARD
Break Even in Another
DOuble-Header with
the Cubs.
MATTY POUNDED
IN OPENING GAME
Old MAST RelinquisheS the
Mound After Lasting Only
Three Frames.

Chicago, July 31.-"No progress is
retrogression, and retrogressicn IS
RUM declared an eminent French
scientist John McGraw and his band
of New York Giants had better be-
ware, for theirs is way Of no
progress. Ii they win a game, they
straightway turn about and lose one.
But then, on the other hand, if they
lose battle of the diamond, they
come back with renewed vlgor and
win one Bat. on the whole, their
struggles are without purpose. No
progress is made in the climb to the
heights
The Giants followed the usual pro-
gramme this afternoon. They divided
the honors with the Cubs in two lop-
sided games, which were filled with
hard hitting and loose fielding. In
the first affair the Cubs reaped in the
laurels by score of to 8, knocking
Christy Mathewson out of the box in
four innings. The sunset battle saw
the Giants plunge into the fight more
furiously than ever and win by the
all-sufficient count of 9 70 2, finishing
up Larry Cheney in less than one inn
ing. Certain it is that neither team
adopted any halfway measures in win
ming and losing
The Giants, if anything, were more
brusque in their method of winning
Perhaps it was that the Windy City
contingent was more courteous, but
they waited until three innings haG
passed before putting the rollers I'M
der Matty. The Giants were con-
strained by no respect for age or ex-
perience. They started right out and
riled up five runs in the first inning,
and registered eight of the total num-
Der of runs scored before the last
man was set dow in the third inning.
Not even Pete nnisely could pre-
vent the Cubs from deiighting the
crowd OF some ten thousand fans in
the opening game. Pete is an out
fielder, and the more one watches him
play second base the more tirmly THIS
truth is impressed upon the mind.
Pete had a grand time trying TO cover
the keystone sack, while zimmerman
was shifted back to third TO replace
Carey Phelan. After he had contrib
uted no fewer than four errors in
about eight chances Bresnahan sent
HIM TO the bench for the afternoon.
In the second game Jack Murray, the
berstwhile Giant, played second. and
he PLAYED il well. Incidentally, he got
two hits as we'll.
McGraw also shifted his line. Fred
Snodgrass still suffers from a most
stubborn charley horse, and In the
riddle of the first game he sent Fred
, Merkle into centrefie)d and put Brain
erd on first base. In the second game
Merkle played centre throughout, and
his understudy guarded the getaway
sack. Brainerd did well, both in the
field and at the bat.
New York's grave was dug in the
| first game with extra base hits. Two
/ home runs helped materially. There

Sam Jackson Breaks
A0ueduct Mile Record
Mile at Aqueduct
Stands as Record

IL was the opinion of many in the
stands at Aqueduct yesterday that
Sam Jackson, which covered a mile
in / 80 As, could have run the dis
lance in 1886 if he had been forced
TO extend himself. As il was, the
performance was a most sensational
one and counts with the best.
August Belmont's Stromboli set
record of 1886 3-5 in the running of
the Jerome Handicap at Belmont
Park last fall, and this was counted
as the fastest mile around one turn.
II stood out even against the rec
ord set by X. I. Wilson, jr.'s. Amalfi
of 1886 Ia, made on an especially
prepared trotting track at Syracuse
last September. and the reputed
similar performance of Christie

St. Louis, July 31.-St. Louis divided
a double with Philadelphia,

Just three hits did he allow, and these

Mamaux and the Pirates had plenty
to think about for seven innings, for
Ed Appleton, the clever Brooklyn
youngster, had a world of speed and
his control was COCO. But the Texan
cracked under the strain of keeping
pace with MamauX, and IN the eighth
inning he blew up with a bang. A vol
lev of hits of varying distances rang
out, and at critical point Appleton
made a crazy wild pitch, and 1--WE runs
were eascd over the plate.
The pitching in the second game was
not nearly so good. No fewer than hall

each side. Smith. Dell and Pfetter
worked for Brooklyn, and the last
named is charged with the defeat. ~

Hinchman singled in the tenth frame,
putting over the winning run. Babe
Adams was knocked out of the box IN
the eighth inning, when Brooklyn raj

by George McQuillan, who finished the
game.

in the scoring of runs, and in order
that the day might close with dis
tinctly Wagnerian touch, he made

of the second game. Hans was quite
busy in the field in the second game
too.
Rrooklyn made a spirited bid for the
second game. The Pirates sailed out
and gathered four runs before the
Superbas warmed to their stride. Rob,

frame on hits by Smith and OMara'

however, Brooklyn started and tied the

and three runs crossed the plate, squar-
ing the match. Then, however, Pieher
weakened a bit in the tenth, and the
game went a-glimmering.

SUIT AGAINST SALISBURY.

Mrs. Nora Matot of Salisbury has
sued the selectmen of that town for
$1,000 damages alleged to have been
caused by changes in the roadway in
front of her home in Salisbury. Law
renee, Lawrence & Stafford of Rutland
are counsel for the plaintiff The case
is returnable at the December term of
Addison County court.
1t is claimed that the three selectmen
started operations in the spring of the
year 1914 and that the grade of the
highway in front of the Matot house
was lowered about five feet and that by
so doing the roots of the trees in front
of the house were damaged so that the
trees are in danger of being blown down
it is also claimed that the damage done
to the roots may kill the trees.
Another allegation is that the high
way was lowered to such an extent that
vehicles cannot enter the driveway. The
new highway, it is also claimed, diverts
a stream of water which fed the we'll
which furnished water for the Matot
home.
