Athletics were in the lead by a score

and it was taken for granted that the
struggle was over.
Sam Wick was the first batter up
in the eighth and he poked single

first major league hit, a slamming
single to centre, which pushed Wick
home and tied the score. Ruel went

Terrible Tim Henrryx was showed in
to bat for King Brady, the Yankee
recruit pitcher, and he hoisted a sac

romped home with the winning run.
I So King Brady starts his major
league career with victory. He
pitched we'll enough, but his work
was marred with passes which he
issued most inopportunely. In the
third inning Witt walked and went to
second on Strunk's out at first. Wallie
Schang, the catcher, who is now
playing third base, punched hit to
right and senta Witt home.
The Yanks tied the score in their

one to Stuffy McInnis. Miller then

rubber match at the Belmont Spring

1t was apparent at the outset of the
match that both were playing under
tremendous nerve tension, with Brady
hoping to, establish superiority over
Ouimet, whom he had s down and 16
holes to play at Woodland only to
have the match finish on even terms.
The break in the morning occurred
at the tenth hole, where Brady was
nicely on the green on his second,
while Ouimet was in the rough and

Ouimet hit the cup on his next and
Brady overran his IL foot down hill

Hampstead, owner of the Giants, is
making special efforts to gain the
active support of every lover of the
national game. He has promised the
second Liberty Loan committee that
the Polo Grounds will be covered
with banners to bring home force

their way into the big Enclosure.
The players will have plenty OF in.
centive to increase their batting aver
ages by several prizes of $50. bonds
which have been offered for the first

ball players to take up a part of the
first loan, and several members of

OMAR KHAYYAM
and HOURLESS TO
RACE OCTOBER II

Laurel Race Track, Nd, Oct. s.
Omar Khayyam and Hourless will
meet in a special race at the Laurel
Track on Thursday. Oct. IL. The
Maryland State Fair Association will
add $4,000 to the sweepstakes.
This much was decided at a confer
ence held yesterday between Col
Matt Winn, representing the track,
and r. F. Carman and S. c. Hildreth,
the respective trainers of the two
great three-year-olds, The distance
of the race and the weights to be car
ried will not be decided until tonight,
but it is probable that the race will be
at one mile and a quarter and the
weights 126 pounds each.
Butwell will ride HourIess, but no
jockey has been engaged as yet for
Omar Khayyam. Edward B. Mclean,
owner of the Washington Post, has
offered a gold cup worth $4,000 to the
winner.
The conditions provide for good
day and track. Col. winn and Sam
Hi1dreth insisted on this.
Richard Carman did not care
whether the track conditi. ms were
wet or dry, as Omar Khayyam is a
good mud horse.
Col. Winn is planning to make it a
gala occasion and to donate the re-
ceipts after expenses are paid, to the
Red Cross Fund. With that. end in
view he has asked the B. and o. Rail-
road to give extra service in order to

Off Days for Railroad Jumps Will Allow One Pitcher to

New York, Oct 3-With two good
teams so evenly matched as the Giants
and the White Sox the coming worlds
series is likely to be won and lost on
the breaks of the game and the pitch
ing.
After the battles are over 1t is prob
able that one man will stand but as
the pitching hero, but before the
series begins there is little to indi-
cate who it will be. If there is an
edge the dop points slightly to the
Giants. s
Under. other circumstances New
York, might have a real advantage,
but with the schedule arranged as It
is, with off days, a manager may be
able to go through on two pitchers
and If one man proves highly effect
i've he can be used in three games.
Matty won three games in 1905 and
should have won three in 1912. Babe
Adams won three in 1909. Coombs
won three in 1910, and pitchedstwo OF
them in succession.
What a tremendous ractor pitching
has been is plainly shown by the fig

MUCH BETTING ON
KUNZ and BROWN
BOUT ON OCT. 8

New Haven, Oct. 3.-W1len State
Champion Battling Kunz and Chic
Brown clash next Monday night at
the Arena in their 15-round bout. con-
siderable money will change hands on
the result of the scrap. If both boys
are on their feet at the end of the
18th round the fans will look to the
different newspapers for decisions in
order to settle their bets, so much will
depend upon the accuracy Of the box
ing writer's on Monday night.
Champion Kunz wouldn't stand for
a decision being renrered by the ref
cree in the ring, but he cant prevent
the papers from stating who won in
the minds of the writers and the bet
tors have agreed to abide by the news
paper decisions. So there win be just
as much money wagered, on the, bout
as If a decision was rendered officially
from the ring.
Most of those who have registered
bets have left the decision to two out
of three papers, naming the papers
they will go by. In most cases they
have named, one New Haven, one
Hartford and one Bridgeport paper so
as to get as fair a line of decisions as
possible.
There is also some lively betting on
the result Of the ten round bout be-
tween Johnny Martin and Red Allen.
In this bout the decision will be given
from the ring by the referee which
will relieve the writers from any re-
sponstbility. The same applies to the
six round opening feature between Joe
Currie and Sammy Waltz and several
bets have been made on the result Of
this tilt. It is figured that severa
hundred dollars will change hands or
the result of the Kunz-Brown bout.
