Good Buying In Oils.

The good buying observed in Mex
lean Petroleum and Smelters is due
to the same reason-prospects OF an
agreement between the government
of Mexico and the financial inter
ests that have developed mines and
oil fields in that country.
Texas Oil sympathized with Mexi-
can, as did Sinclair and several others
not listed. Royal Dutch advanced
more than three points. It has prop
critics in Mexico.
Tobacco stocks were strong in sym
pathy with Sumatra, some of whose
friends got a report from Washing
ton that the Capital Issues Commit
tee would not permit the company to
issue the 100000 of new stock that
was to be issued at par.
Strength displayed by tobacco
products was due to a report that the
cOmpany's manufacturing capacity
was unable to cope with the volume
of orders being received.
Strength of American International.
International Mercantile Marine and
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies was
cue to report that the contract for
sale Of the British ships belonging to
the marine company had been finally
agreed upon and that the sale would
be followed by combination of
American companies named and sew
tral others.

Brooklyn Club
Is Sustained
In Protest

President Tener, of the National
League, yesterday sustained the pro-
test of the Brooklyn Club, and the
game between the St. Louis and Brook
Ign teams. played at Brooklyn on June
3, has been stricken from the records
and ordered to be replayed.
In the sixth inning of that game
Baird of St. Louis was on second when
the batsman hit fly to centre. Baird
started with the pitch and had touche d
third base. but when he realized the
possibility Of catch he ran back
toward second. The ball was not
caught and Baird. from a position If
teen or twenty feet from shird. cut
across the diamond and scored. Um-
plre Rigler allowed the run on the
ground that the runner was not re-
CURED to touch third base second
time; that he had not run out of line
to avoid being touched and that no
play had been made on him at the
home plate
Quoting Section 10 of Rule Sc, Preei-
dent Tener decided that it clearly ap-
piled in this instance and that when
Baird retraced his steps toward sec
ond he nullified whatever technical
right he had acquired to third. When
he again tried for home he was sad

to touch all bases in order,

Brooklyn S Only Score Comes
as Result of Merkle's
Error
By A. c. Cavagnaro

The Dodgers defence cracked yes
terday and tho Flatbush Fusileers
dropped the first game Of the series
to the leading Chicago Cubs at Ebbets
Field. The score was to /. Chicago
made the most Of the three hobbies by
the Dodgers, who played an uninterest-
ing game before 1000 persons, one Of
the largest crowds seen on the Long
Island battle-ground this year.
Over-anxiousness caused the charg-
ing of an error to Jimmy Johnston in
right field, and Ollie O'Mara. who was
back at third base, was guilty Of a
high and wide throw to Daubert.
O'Mara was also asleep in the ninth
when Deal stole third base. Each of
the six Cub runs materialized after
two men had been retired.
Colby Jack Coombs, ailing with q
sore wrist, twirled for the Dodgers,
and pitched fairly good ball under the
circumstances. He held the Windy
City players to eight hits, Of which
one was q triple and another nome
run. However, when the Brooklyn
players weakened under the strain
Coombs accompanied them.
Hendrix at His Best
Claude Hendrix was at his best for
Chicago and held the smuggling
Dodger batters to tour scattered bin
giles. He had the Flatbush men hitting
up pop flies, and the support he re-
ceived was gilt edge. Holfocher killed
off several hits at shortstop. Rollie
Zeider also got into the way of several
hard hit balls. Brooklyn had only one
chance to score, and but for Fred
Merkle's error the Flatbush nine would
not have tailed.
Before the Brooklyn team took an
aeroplane flight the game gave promise
Of establishing record for the fast
est played contest on the grounds this
season. The first five innings were
completed in half an hour, but it took
81 minutes to play the remaining four
innings.
Brooklyn broke into the scoring col
umn in the fifth on Merkle's error.
Zach Wheat nicked Hendrix for the
first Brooklyn hit with a grass cutter
to left neld ana spec TO second on ny
Myers's sacrifice. O'Mara's out chased
Wheat to third. Schmandt was passed
on four pitched balls. On an attempted
double steal, Merkle threw the ball on
the ground to Zeider, allowing Wheat
to score and Schmandt to run safely
back to first base. Brooklyn also got
two men~un base in the sixth and sew
enth, with two out, but Hendrix found
the next batters easy victims.

But Syracuse Drubs Bears in
First Game of a Double
Header

Fred Walker, who pitched Newark to
victory Friday, came back yesterday
and won the second game of double
header, s to 4, after the Bears had
dropped the first contest to Syracuse,
- to 4. In the opening game, Nc
Laughlin, who pitched for Newark, did
not seem to have anything but a
straight ball, and Patsy Donovan's
crowd hammered his offerings for
eighteen safeties, including FIVE doubles
and triple. Raymond, the Syracuse
centrefelder, led the attack with four
hits in six timeaeup.
In the goodnight taffair there was a
different story to tell. Walker had
everything in the pinches, and, al
though hit safely ten times, he got out
Of every hole than presented itself.
Newark won the game in the seventh
when Ted Gathers doubled, stole third
and crossed the pan with the winning
run on a passed ball. Gathers had his
eye on the ball in this game, getting
three safeties, two doubles and sin.
