Cincinnati Comes to Life.


 New York, Aug. 1.-The Brook lyn Dodgers returned to their baill- wick in Flatbush yesterday in com pany with the hoodoo that pursued them through the Western trip.
 The Cincinnati Reds in the open- ing game of series defeated the minions of Charley. ,Ebbets by a score of to 8. .... .so.rs 7s> -a r...
 Matty's men pulled out the. victory with a ninth inning rally. clustering three hits for the winning advan- tage. Fred Toney, who has improved considerably through Christy Mathew sons tutelage, was on the firing line for the visitors and was in rare form. He had several spells of unstead- mess, but recovered himself when se- rious danger threatened. The victory of Toney boosted his total so far this season to twenty-one games, his fine work recently being rewarded with a $1,000 bonus. Toney allowed the Dodgers only eight hits. j..
 The Reds wideawake policy gives promise of repeating their success against the Dodgers which was e1- perienced on the hast visit here. On that occasion Robinson's men went down to four straight defeats, and the Cincinnati players are keen to duplicate this performance.

MYERS SCORES 10
 FOR ST. JOSEPH'S
Individual Star Of Meet Held at
 St. Mary's Field

The athletic meet between the quartet of stars representing St. Jo- seph's and the four shining lights Of St. Mary's last night at St. Mary's playground was closely contested as the score 12-11 shows. St. Mary's boys got the 12 points. A crowd roughly estimated at 1,2O0 people witnessed the several events and en- joyed the band concert given at the field simultaneously with the track meet by the Philharmonic band. The crowd seemed to appreciate the eE- forts of the boys and was generous in applause. The lights, under which the meet was held. were set upon the clubhouse and threw powerful glare across the field. so that no one had much difficulty seeing the con- testants. It was a pretty sight to see the runners skimming down the track
 in the limelight with the dark form of the crowd on either side of the track. The meet was not completed and will be finished Saturday after 1 noon. @ - 1 St. Mary's scored the 12 points not through the brillance of individuals 1 but the efforts of we'll balanced team. St. Joseph's team was led by | Chief Myers, the former Exeter star, who showed the boys on both teams the way to leap and put the shot. Myers secured 10 of St. Jo- seph's II points, winning two f1rsts
 The nearest man to Myers was Dillon, the all round star of St. Mary's play ground, who scored points Myers won the shotput with toss of 39 i, feet 1 1-2 inches and the running broad jump with a leap of 19 feet, 10 IA inches. ..ts.. .-"
 The first events that were run off were the first and second heats of the 100 yards dash. Both of these heats were spectacular races. Dillon of St. Mary's and Faulkner of St
 Joseph's darted away at the pistol shot. Dillon seemed to get the bet ter start but Faulkner gained slowly and the men were even at the 80 yard mark where Dillon lost form and the St. Joseph's man broke the string almost 2 yards in front of his rival doing the 100 in II seconds. The second heat was done in the same fast time Maher just nosed out his teammate Kiniry in this heat. Myers won the shotput somewhat easily with Maher second at 37 feet 4 1-2 inches and Dillon third with a put of 31 fee: 5 inches. In the standing broad jump relay St. Mary's teamwork came into play and the home boys jumped total of 35 feet inche. with St. Joseph's going 31.11 inches
 The victory in this relay raised St.
 Mary's score points so that they led at this juncture 9-5. Then Myers in the next event, the running broad jump scored another first and Dillon made second with a jump of 19 feet 3-4 inches. Faulkner was third with a jump of IS feet IA inches to his credit &
 T The flnal heat of the 100 yard dash war scheduled to come off but the starting pistol failed to work and the event was postponed until Saturday afternoon when the final leg of the competition will be run off. The same judges will oniciate. The man. agement' wishes to thank them and 1.-the crowd for, their cooperation in

Burns got a total of hits himself and pitched strong game letting the Bartlett boys down with one hit. The East street school defeated the Smith at the East street grounds 7-3. In 8 ninth inning rally the Smith got all their runs. Bloom played we'll for the Smith and Griffin starred for the East.

.SALLEE TURNS IN
 TENTH STRAIGHT
Giants "Go Over the Top" in the
 Third Inning.

New York Aug. 1.-The Giants got off on the right foot in their last long home stand against the Western clubs, when they entertained the Cardinals at the Polo Grounds yeste,. day afternoon. Behind pretty fair pitching by Slim Sallee the pacemak- CTS showed the class of ball that has carried them so far out in front of the pack, and won the opening con- test of the series in rather easy fashion. The score was 5 to B. This was the tenth straight victory for the veteran southpaw of the Giants.
 The game was scarcely so exciting as those of the recent series with the Dodgers. From an artistic stand
 point ruin and desolation hit Willie Doak and his Mound City cast in the third inning, and hit them so hard as
 to make a lop-dded score.
 Sheriff Salee did not have to ex- tend himself at any time thereafter
 save in the eighth when the Cards filled the bases with two down. Only
 two of St. Louis runs were earned.
 These came on clean hitting. One was gift by Benny Kauff. t@r
 But Benny should not be held up
 to censure. But for his strong armed throw, which sent runner from first
 to third and put him in a position to score on long fly there would not have been the excitement there was later on when the visitors had the tie- ing run on first with only one gone Benny more than made up for his one mistake. He made number of brilliant catches of hard-hit line drives and boosted his pretentious batting averages with two clean sim gles in four times at bat. A week or two more, at the pace he has shown for the last fortnight, would put the little center fielder out in he , lead for National League batting honors. Kauff applied his singles where they counted. He converted both into runs and drove home an- other with his second blow.
 Kauff. Zimmerman and Fletcher the latter recovered from his recent spike wound at the foot of Casey Stengel the backbone of
 New York's crushing attack. This trio produced seven of the home teams eleven hits and carried over three of the five runs.
 The score:

Der tha Dillon, the favorite, broke badly in the first heat, but won the second, and in the third was trotted off her feet by Harvest Gale, who captured the first and also the final heat, talk ing first money.
 The 2:11 trot also furnished con siderable excitement, as Early Dreams won in straight heats, Busy's Lassie, the favorite, not even being within the money.
 The 2:15 pace was a hot battle be- tween Butte Hale and Dan Hedge wood, tho former, however, winning in straight heats.
