The Worlds Serious Marne Field,
July 3.-The Centrals came back at
the Americans today in their half Of
the third inning and tried to even

plate. 1t was an ill-starred rally, The
Americans emerging from the con-
test still in the lead by one tally.
Their opponents did succeed in get
ting runners on the bags but they
died there.
President Wilson, of the American
League, is being enthusiastically hail

There would be little objection from

An Announcement
of Interest

Baltimore, Nd, July 3.-Pitcher
Babe Ruth, Of the Boston Red Sox'
who it was reported had quit his
team for good. reached his father .
home here today. To be sure, his
parents were surprised to see him,
and the only reason that Babe gave
for coming home so suddenly was
that he wanted to spend the Fourth
here.
Later. however, after he was To-
Gated by local newspaper men. Ruth
threw up his hands and admitted
the truth. He says. however, that
he has not quit the team, and be-
'lieyes the whole matter will be ad-
justed in a day or two.
In order not to be idle tomorrow
he says he has consented to either
pitch or catch for the Chester Ship
building Company's team at Chester,
Pa, tomorrow. The reason he quit
the Red Sox, he says, was because
he had a run-in with Barrow after
the game in Washington yesterday.
Ruth states that Barrow called him
down good and hard for failure to
carry out an order at the bat in
the game there.
Ruth said: Il got as mad as =

and there that j was through with
him and his team. i know / was toe

OF THREE-YEAR-OLDS

New York, =" 3-Johren. the
speedy three-year-S.d of the Harry
Payne Whitney stable, is generally
acknowledged as the class Of the
division for the 1913 season.
When Johren flashed under the
wire winner In the Suburban Handi-
cap there were those who yelled
"fuke." but when he repeated in the
Belmont St1kes a few days Iater he
was handed the laurels as the bes;
three-year-old CT the season, and, on
form displayed, he deserved the
crown.
Whitney's racer made much bet
ter showing in the Belmont than he
had In the Suburban, for in the lat
ter race he was of in the lead with
the lifting of the barrier, while in
the Belmont Jockey Robinson held
him back part Of the way and hus-
banded his strength for the final dash
over the difficult course. The Bel
mont was run over a course shaped

showed his disdain for the horse who

strong and in breezing style.
