SOFT FOR C0NLIN'S TEAM
Bill Dudack Has the Annex Team Eating From His Hand-One Lone Hit Is Losers Portion.

Billy Dudack added materially to his baseball fame yesterday afternoon at the East Ellis street diamond, when he came within an ace of pitch ing a no-hit game, the only bingle se- cured off his delivery being a scratch Texas leaguer by Chalmers which just fell out of the reach of Kahms. The game itself was a farce demon strating that the Annex team is not in the same class with the Pioneers, re- ceiving a II to 1 drubbing. It was a merry day for the Pioneer batsmen, no less than seventeen bingles being secured off the offerings of Blanchard and Chalmers which included extra base wallops by Blinn and Bill Dudack. Dudaek was a demon with the willow securing four safe slams out of five trips to the plate, receiving base on balls the other time.
 The losers seemed to be struck by stage fright piling up seven errors most of which proved costly. "Red'l Welsh tried his hand at Ty CobbingI 1t yesterday, pounding out three esafe( slams. Dudack retired eight by thei S. o. route and gave but one free ticketl to the initial sack. The winners hadl a number of men stranded on thel bases. The score:

The One Big Winner.

At the seasons end Alexander will be the only major league pitcher With thirty victories to his credit.
 There was a time back in the days of Mathewson, McGinnity, Young, Chesbro and Walsh when a pitcher who couldn't win thirty games was no part of a star.
 But pitching flesh is becoming brittle, or the pitching arm is grow ing fragile, for the pitcher today who turns in twenty victories considers that he has done rare work.
 Pitchers have become too pam pcred. There is no reason why strong, husky slabman shouldn't work every fourth day on a steady diet. But the race is getting feeble, or something, for only one thirty games winner stands up in both leagues

AT ST. MARY'S FAIRGROUNDS.
Continues to Feature
 Games at Popular Amusement Place.

There is no apparent evidence of the popularity of St. Mary's play grounds growing on the Wane, last Saturdays attendance being of mid season size, with enthusiasm plenty predominating. Some fine events were staged with the following re- suits
 The Nutmeg soccer football team defeated the Annex, 3 to 1, in the opener Tn the fifty yards juvenile three-legged race Heisler and Mee- han defeated Hayes and Peters, cov- ering the distance in 10 3-5 seconds. Morehead and Hall won a race over the same distance in the junior class, Doolittle and Herman coming in sec ond. In the senior class Daley and Dooley came in first with Kelley and Kenney trailing them. In the boys obstacle race over 75 yards, J. Peters, I. Hayes and F. Nestor came in in the order named. Dolan, Hayes and Kelly finished the obstacle race of 75 wards in the junior class in the order named and Elliott, Burns and Connolly won places in the senior event. For girls, Helen Dery, Helen Long and May Mayne won first, sec ond and third, respectively, in the 5O- wards obstacle race for the junior girls, and over the same distance in the senior class, Helen McCue, Anna Ryan and Julia Byrne took places. A feature attraction which proved pop ular with contestants and audience alike was the 225-yards medley race, of which 75 yards was walked, 75 yards run and 75 yards ridden on bf- cycles. Connelley won this event in AZ 1-5 seconds in the senior class. In the juvenile class, F. Nestor won the event, F. Hayes was second and Hem messy was third, the winners time being 57 2-5 seconds. For the junior class, Dolan came in first, Hayes sec ond and Lahar third.

Age in sport is something more than matter of slowing up physical N. It is also a matter of over-taxed nerves, of knowing the slight margin EetWeen victory and defeat.
 Those who watched young Bobby Jones, the fOurteen-year-Old Atlanta golfer, play at Merton this past week narvelled, not only at his surpassing skill, but at his coolness under fire They failed to figure, that in one way, he had this advantage; the veterans were thinking of the possibility of de- feat; the kid with the wonderful heri- tage of youth, the heritage of hope only thought of victory. And suppose he was beaten? Al right Tomorrow for him was another day and life, after all, was only beginning.

Back to Baseball.

With the tennis and golf cham piOnships over, sporting interest swings back to baseball and the double drive down the Septem Der stretch.
 The two clubs best fixed psycholo- gically for a pennant drive are De- troit and Philadelphia in the rival leagues.
 For the first four months of the lace the Tigers were never figured in the running. They were under no nervous tension at all. In the Ma tional league Brooklyn and Boston held all attention and the Phillies were overlooked. So Jennings and Moran were able to start their big drives with fresh troops. Their ma chimes managed to reach top form just at the right moment, when the others were beginning to get Tagged out from the long strain. The Tigers and Phillies have been paying fine ball now for over three weeks, and if the eternal dope is to be figured at ell we will not have G. c. Alexander facing T. R. Cobb.

 Place by Collins and Ness <

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Errors by Ed die Collins and Jack Ness cost Chi cago second place yesterday and en- abled St. Louis to win the first game of the series to 2, in ten innings.

Marsans singled, Hartley hit to Weaver who threw to E. Collins, but Eddie fumbled the ball, and Maraans went to third and scored on Austin's sacrifice fly
 The game went into an extra in- ming. Russell weakened in the tenth. Shotton walked and Miller singled. Sisler sent both home on his single, and went to second on the throw home. He counted from second on an infield out.
 Plank was hit hard, but only twice were the Sox able to bunch them. Marsans' catch of Liebold's long drive in the sixth inning saved the game for St. Louis. Liebold also made sensational catch and started a double play in the St. Louis half. The score:

An Athletic Marvel.

In many ways Young Jones is one Of the most remarkable athletic mar vels of the game
 Francis Ouimet was only twenty years old when he beat Vardon and Ray. As remarkable as his play was then, there is a vast difference be- tween fourteen and twenty-a far greater difference than six years upon the average measures out.
 To find a kid fourteen years old who could drive 250 yards and play an iron like Chick Evans would be thought beyond belief.
 But to f1nC a fourteen-year-old boy who fairly revelled in a tough battle before a big gallery is even further beyond the ordinary

One Instance.

Here is one instance of Jones' re- markable control, or lack of nerves, or unbounded nerve, as you care to call 1t.
 Playing against Frank Dyer in the afternoon the kid was 1 up going to the twenty second hole. Dyer's drive left him in a wretched lie. Some one told Jones that his opponent could not possibly get out on his neck shot
 But Dyer by a wonderful pitch, dropped the ball within twelve feet If the cup. You can understand how this recovery would have affected the average golfer. But the kid, in place of being disconcerted, never even waited until the applause had died away. Without an instant's delay he stepped up to his ball hit 1t firmly and dropped his shot inside of Dyers.
 In this shot there was a combina- tion of rare skill and rare courage. But there was something more It carried also the care free touch of youth-youth that knows very little about the sting of defeat, but only thinks of the great fun of the game Or, as MT. Kingsley almost wrote: 
 ''When all the game is young, lad, And all your dreams are pink Before your songs are sung, lad, Upon the twilight's brink, Then let sport have it's bid, lad, Across the mornings spin, No man can beat kid, lad, Who thinks that he can win" We have had some remarkable young tennis, golf and baseball

Giants Beat YankS.

New York. Sept. 11.-Although charity was supposed to be the key note of the diamond attraction be- tween Giants and Yankees at the Polo Grounds yesterday, it was not carried upon the field. There was little love lost between the fighting warriors, both teams responding with a dis play of the national pastime that kept the 17,000 spectators enthused and ended with the Giants exultant and victorious by the score of 4 10 2.
 The struggle got so fierce several times that injuries were thick and two Giant regulars just escaped in- expectation. Buck Herzog made a sweeping tag of Elmer Miller com pleting a double play in the second inning and received a nasty cut on his left leg from Miller's spikes. Her zog refused to leave the game, how ever. Dave Robertson was so eager to get on base in the eighth that he stuck his knee in front of a pitched ball and dropped to the ground as if ohot. He rubbed the injured spot for several minutes and also resumed play, refusing to leave the battle, es- pecially with the action so interesting The score:
