by Umpire.

Boston, July 25.-Chicago defeated
the Braves 3 TO in an eleven-inning
contest to-day. Umpire Eason's de-
cision, however, allowing the run scored
by the Cubs in the eleventh, will be
protested by Boston. Zimmerman, who
had reached first on a felders choice.
came all the way home when Fitz-
patrick threw badly to first on Saier's
grounder.
Boston will contend that Zimmerman
should have been allowed to take third
only on the play. Umpire Eason ruled
that the runner had rounded second be-
fore the ball went into Boston's dugout
and was entitled to continue to the
plate.
Evers and Zeider had mix-up in the

Ray Keahmg and

Donovan Lets Go Two Right
Hand Twirlers-Slated
for Minors.

Chicago, July 25.-Ray Kesting and
Cliff Markle, two right-handed pitchers
Of the New York Yankees, have been
dropped from the roster OF the club,
and probably will be sent to the minors
in a few days.
1t is reported here that the other
teams in the American. League have
waived claims on their services. IL IS
not probable that the pitchers are ou,
of the American League for all time.
Markle early this season gave promise
of developing into star, whlle Neat
ing at intervals has performed in spec
tacular fashion. 1t was at rare inter
walls. however. During the last two
weeks, however, neither has shown any
thing to warrant his being retained.
1t is whispered here and there that
Markles charming disregard for the
training rules led to his dismissal. Com
ing up from the Texas League, where ne
had won a fair degree of success, Mar
kle developed into a star at once: ne
won his first two games IN the amer
lean League last year, and won three
more this season.
Called TO account by Donovan and
reprimanded for his conduct, Markle
won't into the sulks, and the way in
which he pitched recently indicated
that he was willing TO change his uni
form and his place of residence as well.
Keating's case was totally dissimllar:

Yankees Are Beaten
in Wild, Woody Game
InvaIids Are Batted All
Over COmiskey's Lot
by SOx.

Chicago, July 25.-The New York
Yankees, accompanied by a corps OF
trained nurses, several field ambu-
lances and carrying gallons Of arnica
and witch hazel, began their campaign
in the Western country this afternoon.
Wild William Donovan led his host
against the White Sox at Comiskey
Park in the first engagement. When
the last man had been retired Donovan
sent this message to Captain Huston:
1--WE have met the enemy, and we are
theirs. The score was 13 to g."
Bill might have included in his terse
communication that although he lost
the game no players we're added to
the injured list, and that is something
most unusual in these booming days.
Lee Magee. who twisted his ankle in
a game against Buffalo yesterday. was
out of the game nursing the injury,
but Hughie High, who was hurt re-
Gently on the Polo Grounds, returned
to the game, rather evening up the
score. That Charley Mullen played in
the outfeld during the closing innings
might have made an interesting note,
and there were many other sidelights
on game which was as wild and wool
ly and as coarsely woven as the lop-
sided score would indicate.
There is something in the Chicago
climate, it would seem, that gets into
Ray CaldwelPs good right arm and
acts upon it In most peculiar fashion.
1t does not always have the same ef-
feet, however. There was the game
this afternoon, for instance. Ray, who
usually is cool and collected and pos
sessed Of the ability to control the
ball, was wild and irrepressible. He
gave the Sox five runs in the first inn
ings, and that Is respectable work
ing margin in any mans country. Pass
ing three men and hitting another,
forcing home a tally in that fashion,
was quite bad enough, but once off on
mad career he could not restrain him
self. 1t came to a point where he had
TO groove the leather to keep from
passing everybody. The Sox just took
q toe hold and met the ball.
Caldwell kept up his exhibition until
the sixth inning, by which time the
crowd had entered into the spirit OF
the affair and assisted the umpire in
calling the balls. Donovan began to
suspect that perhaps all was not we'll
