SOX HAVE proven TO
BE GOOD Home CLUB
Being Homers Is Big Reason Why
Chicago Is Heading the
Pennant Parade.

New York, Aug. Clone big reason
why the Chicago White Sox are out
in the front of the American League
Pennant parade is that the Eastern
clubs have been able to make very
little impression on the pale hosed
warriors Of Clarence Rowland in the
games at Comiskey Park. When the
Yankees finished up with the Chicago
club on Tuesday the last game OF the
East vs. West series at Comiskey
Park this season had been played.
OF the forty-four games played by
teams from the Eastern half of the
circuit at Chicago the White SoX won
no less than thiTty-two. this perform
ance showing what a powerful club
Rowland has when it is playing on the
lot. With such a big advantage in
games won at home it is not surpris-
Ing that the Sox can go along break
inz even on the road and still be IN
first place.
washington has made the poorest
showing of the Eastern clubs at Com
iskey Park. Griflth's team can make
the going difficult for the White Sox
when they visit the Capital, but out In
chicago the Sox have habit OF walk
ing rough shod over the Nationals.
Irst once this season has the WASH
Inrton team scored a victory III chi
Geo and against this lore triumph
the White Sox have rolled up ten VIC
tories. -.
Tba Yankees have done just lit
lie better, but not enough 10 do any
cheering about. Three games maze
up the Yankees winning portion al
Chicago and the White Sox carried on
the honors eight times.
Even the worlds champion Red SoS
have not made what can be called d
creditable showing on the nome
grounds Of their rivals, the series
standing seven to four in favor of the
Chicago club. The Athletics were able
to do as well as the Red Sox and bet
ter than the other Eastern clubs.
All Of which is interesting for an
other reason. A team that can do all
this damage at home must have been
q. bit under the mark as a travelling
organization when it did not gain
even a more commanding lead than
the White Sox enjoy at present. AS a
matter of fact the White Sox hav,
done little against the Eastern club:
in the East that compares with the
walkaway they have enjoyed in the
West. As they must make another
swing through this section and will
not have the Eastern clubs any mort
on their home park it appears thai
the easy part OF it Is over as far a.
the White Sox are concerned.
Boston is the only Eastern club t
win a majority of its games in tht
West this season. The worlds cham
pions got the verdict in twenty-thret
games and finished on the losers enc
in twenty games. The Red Sox tool
the seasons series at st. Louis anC
Detroit and lost the series at Chicago
and Cleveland.

Cunning season is here. At sun,
rise this morning the season is or
ficially ,ushered in for 1911. The marks
men will be along the marshes to-
day and for the next few weeks TAX
ing cracks at reedbirds, ortolans anu
blackbirds.
The reedbirds during the past ten
days have been fiocking in the saw
grass in the vicinity OF Benning
Bridge, but to date none of the
sportsmen have been turning in re-
ports of ortolans, as this feathered
creature is said to be scare this sea
son. There are plenty of blackies in
evidence and from the size Of the
birds the gunners are assured some
fine sport within the next few days.
Lieut.. Dean, of the harbor police
precinct, says he desires to impress
upon gunners the necessity for obey
ing the Federal law, which prohibits
shooting bfore sunrise and after sun
set, and persons who fail to complS
with the law, he stated, may ex-
pect to be arrested and punished.
Yesterday afternoon the police OF
the harbor precinct were kept busy
erecting warning signs about all thc
marshes where the shooting of bircs
is permitted by law, and also at
places where shooting is prohibited.
birds were later arriving on th',
marsh this season than ever before.
said William T. Bailey. who has been
in business on Anacostia river all his
life, land the delay seems to be a
mystery.
MANY of the older sportsmen." he
said, will not be in evidence on the
marsh this season, and many of the
youngsters also will be absent be-
cause they have enlisted in the mill
tary service. Higa cost of ammuni-
ton also may keep many persons
away"

TRUXTONS In DRAW
GAME WITH MAR0ONS

Today-Truxtons VS.. General, once.
Truxtons and Maroons played an
other tie game yesterday IN the pos
series for the District title at the
Terminal Railroad grounds. The con-
test was fast and exciting from start
TO finish, and was called in the seventh
inning on account of darkness. The
final coun was Maroons 3, Truxtons, ).
The Rosedale Leaguers opened up on
Coe in the first inning base on
balls to Roche with hits by J. Fitz-
gerald and Steele put two runs over
the plate. In the third q hit pats
man and two hits put over the ma
rooms final tally.
This lead looked as IL it would prove
the elimination of Truxton, as Phelps
was breezing along like a world beater
but in the fourth inning Phelps was
hit for two singles and double
which put two runs over the plate,
ard in the sixth inning Truxton tied
up the count. Score:

Nationals Capture Double
Header from New
York Club.

New York, Aug. 31.-Clark Grif-
hth's Nationals ran rough-shod over
the Yankees here this afternoon, cap
turing both ends of the double-head-
er and landing safely in fifth place.
The first game was merely a bit
OF much needed exercise for old
Doc Ayers. who breezed along to
an easy victory. In the second half
of the double bill the Nationals "a
on even terms with the Yankees fer
ten innings of alright base ball and
then crashed through in the eleventh
with three big runs. The final score
was to g..
, Outside of the fact that the Nationals
won a double-header against Donp-
vans Slipping Stars and thereby
moved up peg in the race, there
was nothing particularly exciting
about the two games. Doc Ayres
worked SO smoothly in the first game
that the spectators soon lost interest
and even the Yankees seemed glad
when the agony was over.
Griffith's men got a cluster of three
runs In the second inning of Mos-
ridge and thereby put the game on
ice. Rice led off with single and
advanced to second on Fosters
grounder to Pipp. Horace Milan
walked and Charity doubled scoring
Rice and putting Milan on third.
Henry's single brought in the two
runs. but. Ayers ended the inning
by hitting into a double-play.
Ayers was in difficulty only once
during the game and he got away
with only one run being scored
against nir.i. Alexander opened the
inn hy EingltnR and
Mogridge followed with another hit.
Rice's tumble of Mogridge's single
put runners on second and third with
none out. Highs scratch fly to Clyde
Milan scored Alexander with the Yam
KEGS only run and then Ayers
frightened up and the Yankees hopes
were ended.
The Nationals fourth run was scored
off Ray Fisher on a walk, Foster s
single, a sacrifice and Peckinpaugh
error.
Shaw and Shocker hooked up in a
neat pitching duel in the second game
and both sides took turns in the lead:
Hendricks homer in the second
scored the Yankees first run. but
Morgan, who performed brilliantly
in both games, sent a screaming
liner into the left field bleachers IN
the fifth and evened the, count.
The Yanks got to shaw in the sixth
for two runs and to all intents and
purposes had the game sewed up
Shaw's error, a single and Peckln-
paugh's double. accounted for the
two runs. Peckinpaugh. usually re-
liable, started the Yanks TO ruin in
the eighth by giving Charity two
bases on a wide throw. Ainsniths S
single put Charity on third. but the
latter perished at the plate when
Leonard burted an attempted squeeze
Menoskey unloosened n double to
center at this point scoring two
runs.
Du Mont took up the pitching
burden for Washington in the ninth
and the Yankees never had a chance.
Darkness was beginning to descend on
the field as the teams went into the
tenth on even terms, but the crash
came fast in the Griffmen's half OF
the eleventh. Shanks and Clyde
Milan singled, Shanks stopping at
third, Rice hit Sharply to Pipp who
threw widely to Nunamaker and
Shanks scored. Fosters single tailed
Milan and Morgan's double scored
Rice with the third run and put the
finishing touches on profitable art
ernoon for Washington. The score:

MUD IS king HORSE
AT ROCKVILLE FAIR
Heavy Track Causes President Lee
Ofutt to Call Of All Races.

Mud reigned supreme at the Mont
somery County fair yesterday. After
wirelessing Jupiter Pluvius, President
Lee Offutt, Of the race committee,
sensed the charity of 'Jupe" that he
would modify the aqueous sprinkling
but would not be responsible for the
reprehensible acts of the mud COM
mittee." such disintegrations interfer-
ring seriously with his water depart
ment.
Consequently President Offutt de-
clared all races of the day off, He
was possibly influenced TO do this by
witnessing a couple Of jockeys ex-
ercising their mounts, weighing in but
refusing to weigh when they came in
until they were scraped.
All concessions suffered because of
the muddy paths that led to the
grounds, the only fellow making any
thing being the candy man who weigh
ed mud in with the confectionery.
Way down in a hollow where a booth
was arranged for the pleasure Of
children, the enterprising proprietor
arranged an impromptu mud pie arena
and collected itinerant frees for the
lost, strayed or stolen pampered pets
The dancers only got half the worth
of their money because their shoes
stuck to the floor because of the mud,
and perceptibly halted their terp-
sichorean ambitions, The mana ge-
ment was powerless to help as they
figured that fully an acre of the
grounds would be taken away by
those attending the fair.
Along comes the announcement that
Hon. Sydney Mudd would address the
glad gathering as soon as weather
signs were propitious. The Pride
of Prince George County" diplomati-
cally busted himself around the stock
stables until late afternoon, visualising
that it was quite best to have folks
realize that they had had quite a sur
felt OF mud.

Kid Norfolk May Be
Langford's Opponent

Following the announcement that
Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby.
would appear at the Maryland Ath-
letic and Social Club. of Ardmore.
Nd, comes the announcement from
the management that they have the
option of selecting Langford's op-
ponent from a quartet of rugged
battlers.,
Sam will be compelled to step off
a route of fifteen rounds or less
against such classy mitt mixers as
Harry Willis. of New York. Kid Nor
folk, of Panama, Cleve Hawkins. of
Toronto. or Steve Taylor, of Phil
adelphia. Fred Fulton, who forced
Langford to quit in their recent
bout, has promised the Tar Baby a
return match il he can get away
with any of these tough battlers.
