GIANTS WIN AND
 LOSE TO REOLEGS
Cincy Team Takes First Game 2-1, But Giants Cap
 ture Second by Al.

Cincinnati, July 1S.---Although the Giants outbatted the Reds by "A hits to 16 in two games yesterday after noon, scored a total of runs to by the locals, outfelded them and outran them on the bases, yet they only won one of the contests. The Reds took the first by 2 to 1 and the Giants the second by to 1.
 Failure to bunch their hits explains the defeat of the Giants in the open ing game. They collected 13 solid thumps off the delivery of Pete Schneider, but got only one runner across the plate. Every time the Giants got men on bases they either hit into double plays or else flied out.
 The lonesome tally of the Giants in the fifth was the result more of luck than hitting. McCarty was favored with a pass and moved to second on Perritt's sacrifice. Young came along with a single to centre and McCarty scored.
 It was in the fifth also that Perritt | had his one bad inning and in which 1 the Reds oantered off with the game. | The Giatts had chances to score in i the seventh, eighth and ninth frames, but failed to take advantage of their opportunities to bat in runs.
 1 Red Causey. who appears to have developed into the main reliance of the Giants on the mound, came to the rescue in the second game and held the Reds down close and safe.
 A double by Groh at the beginning of the eighth session, followed by tw1 outs at first, gave the Reds one run and saved them from a shut out Ca1sey was particularly good in the pinches. He refused to be hit safely when men were on bases.
 The Giants hammered run out oi Horace Filler in the first session Burns, who made three two baggers during the afternoon, started the first Iinning of the second game with a two sacker to right centre. Young's sac rfifice put Burns on third, and he scored on F'letcher's sacrifice fly tc Griffith. However. Larry Doyle came along with Q single, but was snuffec out trying to steal second.
 The Giants put a paddock on the game in the sixth when RarideI started off with a single. Cause! bunted and beat the throw to first Burns also bunted safely and th' sacks were full.
 Fletcher forced Young at second but Causey scored on the play. Doyl' singled to right, scoring Burns ant putting Fletcher to third. Fletchel and Doyle pulled double steal ant Fletcher scored. Zim ended the in ming with an out at first.

WORLDS RECORD : FOR SCORELESS
 TIE;25 INNINGS

Today is the 27th anniversary of the ball game that made North Da- kota famous.
 By reason of that historic contest the names of Fargo, Grand Forks and Devils Lake are known to hun dreds of thousands who otherwise would have lived and died in utter ignorance of the existence of those cities.
 It was a great advertising stunt that was pulled off on July IS, 1891, when the Fargo and Grand Forks teams of the Red River Valley League played a 25 inning game, which was scOreless, at Devils Lake, N. D. The players who participated in that pastime have long since van ished from baseball ken, and the league is dead and buried and for gotten, but the fame of that game still goes clattering down thee orri- dors of time.
 Never again, perhaps. will the fans lamp such a score as this: | Grand Forks
 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 O-t Fargo
 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 0--(
 The long distance record establish ed by this contest stood until May 31 199, when the Bloomington and De | catur, ILL, clubs of the Three-I League played 26 innings at Bloomington, De catur finally winning with a score O ? to 1.

Locals Behind When
 Rain Stops Game

The Americans were four. runs be- hind the Planters in the game which was to have broken the tie between these respective teams for first place in the league race. Sol Sava was Manager Grimes pick to hold the b. cal team on the top rung of the lad der while Garry Fortune was Man ager Hymns selection.
 Sol did not show the form he has bene in late games as the Planters took to his offerings in the first in ming and before he was taken from the mound the New London players had scored two runs. Aleck Fergu- son then took the pitching duty and he also had two runs scored on him before he frightened up.
 The local team did not start their part of the tussle until the second in- ming when H. W. Baker hit a one base drive and reached second on an error by. Pickup. Vim laid down a bunt and beat the throw to first. Burke was at bat when the game was stopped by the umpire. After waiting for 90 minutes there was no sign of the weather clearing so the game was called off.

Pirates Take Third
 Straight From Robins

Pittsburgh, July 1S-The Pirates made it three straight victories over the 1uttering Robins yesterday, and nailed them tighter to the floor of the cellar by winning, 5 to 4, in II in nings. The man who brought sorrow to the Brooklyns was no less a man than George Cutshaw, a Flatbushh castoff. His single in the eleventh, with two gone, sent Bigbee across the rubber with the deciding run. Brook lyn's chagrin was all the more acute because Robertson was ordered to pass Southworth in order to leave Cutshaw high and dry in the batter's box for an easy strike out. Cutshaw, unusually alert, outguessed Robertson and met one squarely on the seam, scoring Bigbee from second base when the ball blazed way through left 1 field. It was Cutshaw's third hit o1 1 the game

.TY COBB TO PLAY WITH COLONIALS s
 AGAINST MURLINS

New Haven, July 18-It was an- nounced last night that Ty Cobb, pre- mier batsman of the American league, is to play first base for the Colonials against the New Haven Eastern leaguers in the first game of their series at the Lighthouse Point grounds Sunday The news should bring joy to the hearts of all lovers of the national pastime, for the Georgia Peach" is just now at the top of his game, hitting around .370 and leading his nearest competitor in the American league race by mar gin of several points.
 It was only a few weeks ago that Cobb was batting considerably less than 300, far below his form of past years, and fans had begun to think that his star was on the wane. Then he started a terrific hitting streak and each day saw him pass one or more of the players who stood be- tween him and the top rung of the ladder, until a few days ago he reach ed his old position at the top with many points in the average to spare And the end is not yet, for he is still clouting the ball hard and may even surpass the APO average he roll. ed up in 1911.
 The fans have surely got to hand it to George Weiss for bringing tc this city the best baseball talent avail able, for he has earned for himself z reputation: of going through witt what he attempts. He has brough | practically every big league club here at different times in the past few years, and pitted them against hi l famous Colonials, who are now recog nized as one of the strongest baseball clubs in the country, and one tha will give even the strongest team il the majors a hard battle
 Not content with getting the grea Georgian for the coming game, Weis | also says he will probably pitch Ra, l Fisher, which will be another attrac tion worth going miles to see. Eve since Fisher pitched that great gam against the White Sox couple o weeks ago fans have been clamorinj for his return, and as Bender has no yet been restored to good standin; with the National Commission tn former Yankee twirler will be secur ed if such a thing is possible.

FiStic History

Just sixty years ago today, July IS, 1853, John Morrissey and John C. Heenan met and signed articles to fight for the championship of Amer ica and $500. Great interest attach ed to this match, not only because the title was involved, but because both Feenan and Morrissey were reared in Troy, N. Y, and were leaders of rival gangs in their boyhood Heenan left Troy to go to California in 1S5O and there he was employed in the shops of a steamship company at Benicia, thus gaining his sobrfquet of "Benicia Boy" Heenan did his first boxing on the Pacific Coast and fared so well that his friends urged him to return to the East and fight for the title. The Morrissey-Heena n battle was pulled off at Long Point, Canada, and Heenan had all the best of it until he broke one of his hands by striking it against 8 post. After that Morrissey gained the upper hand and won in 21 minutes Heenan challenged Morrisey to a return bat tie, but the latter refused, and in 1860 Heenan went to England to fight Tom Savers for the worlds title-a battle which ended in a row with both men claiming the victory.

Mrs. WilbOurr about held her own in the early part of the match, but faltered under the attack of Miss Handy as the game progressed.
 Miss Holden also scored double victory, as did Miss Wagner and Mrs Lynch Miss Holden defeated Mrs Henry Bassford in the second round at 6--3, 9--7 and Mrs. A. B. Dun can in the third in another straigh match by a score of 6-2, 6-2. Mis- Wagner beat Miss Margaret Buckle! .n the first round and Mrs. William H. Pritchard in the second.
