CUBS GET CHANCE
TO THINK A BIT
ON DAY OF REST

Boston, Mass, July 14.-While
Manager Mitchell motored out TO
his abandoned farm" a few miles
out of the city the Cubs spent a
cool and quiet Sunday with moth
ing to do but inspect their batting
averages and the league standing.
None of the figures were very sat
isfactoTy, except to deal, who
found himself leading the team in
stick work with a mark of over
800, and Charley did nc gloating.
The Cubs now are nine games
behind the leading Reds, who are
beginning TO loom up as the men
who have TO be overhauled in the
pennant race, and at the rate they
have been travelling on this trip
the Mitcheils will snot close up
much of the gap. They have play
ed five games against the seventh
and eighth place teams in the
league and have won three and
lost two of them. Their toughest
opponents are yet to be met. Con-
sequently they will have to hit a
faster gait than they have to date
if they are to complete the eastern
INV dSAOA WIN a MS ny NANhAN1b
record.
Alexander is not We. ready and
Tyler is not expected to join the
team until the latter part of the
week in New York. Douglas and
Hendrix have been hit pretty hard
by the second division squads on
this trip. and that leaves only
Vaughn of the first string of slab
men who can be depended on for
an alright game. Ana the way
the Cubs are not making runs they
need low scores to cop victories.
Carter is slowly regaining his
strength and Bailey and Martin
have shown good flashes of form.
The fact remains the Cubs canno'
hope TO make as rapid progress as
the need to without the aid OF
Alex and Tyler. The race is half
run and nine games is quite a
handicap.

To all these offers Kearns turned

The fighter and his manager are

Old FASHIONED
SLUG FEST, 1913
Red SOx Threaten Many Times in
Nine Full Innings Of Fast
Action.

Chicago, July 14.-In a rip-roar-
ing old fashioned smuggling match,
Chicago's White Sox conquered
Boston's Red Sox yesterday at
Comiskey park, IA to 8, and gave
Sunday crowd of about $4,000 more
thrills for six bits than they ever
could hope to get elsewhere for a
$40 note.
Chicago sIugged it's way to a 10
run lead in the first five rounds and
then began to take it easy, but in
the sixth and seventh, the worlds
champions went on a rampage that
nearly wrecked the south siders
and almost pulled the game out of
the fire.
Boss Gleason had to cali out his
choice reserves to save the day. 1t
not only was saved, but the Sox did
a bit more rampaging themselves
and made the beating good one.
There was scarcely an inning
during the two hours and thirty
three minutes of smuggling that
there wasn't some sort of excite
ment. First there were thrills of
Joy and later thrills of fear. Not
in a couple or three seasons has
there been so much noise. En-
thusiastic fans yelled and women
screamed when Joe Jackson hit
one to the fence, and the same fans
groaned when Babe Ruth landed on
the ball In the end, however, all
we're happy.
Faber Starts.
The contest began with Red
Faber on the slab, opposed by Carl
Mays. Mays was lambasted with
out mercy in the first and left the
battlefield after two rounds, Du-
mont taking his place. The latter
suffered under the Sox firing until
the end of the sixth and Caldwell
came forth and finished
Faber breezed through five inn
ings as stylishly as he did back in
1917, but in the sixth the enemy
got his range and bombarded him
for three runs He came back in
the seventh and stood up under
awful firing until five runs had
been knocked in. Then he was res
cUed and rushed away for first aid.
Cicotte Finishes.
Grover Lowdermilk came along
and halted the onslaught, but the
base that Boss Gleason wouldn't
trust the rest OF the game to Low
dermiIk. He called out his ace,
Eddie Cicotte, and not once there
after did the enemy get close.
Faber got into a hole in the first
round when Lamar singled, Witt
sacrificed and Hooper walked, but
Red made Ruth pop out and no
damage was done.
Then in their half the Sox
started righting the wrong done
them on the previous day After
Liebold had rolled out, e. Collins
cut a single to left Weaver
bounced to Shannon. who had Ed
die Collins headed off on his way to
second. Eddie stopped instead of
running in to tag and Shannon
held the ball just long enough to
miss Weaver at first Both were
safe. Then Jackson filled the bases
with an infieId hit to Scott.
In this pinch Felsch famed, but
GaEdil came through with a single
to center, scoring E. Collins and
Weaver. Then McMullin drove to
the fence in left center for three
sacks, Jackson and GandiI going
home. Schalk's pop up ended the
rumpus. Score:

Philadelphia, Aug. IA. - If the
American people will return to their
normal pre-war consumption of
wheat they will cut s1,000,o00'ooO

This is the conclusion reached by
julius H. Barnes, United States

sued an appeal to the people to get
back to their normal cereal con-
sumption and if possible increase
the amount of cereal foods they nor
mally consumed before this country
entered the war and restrictions
were placed on the use of bread
grains to help our allies.
Food substitution during the war
accomplished much, guided by the
response of a war-conscience," said
Mr.. Barnes. rs it possible to use
the newly-aroused social conscience
and secure not only a reversion to
our normal cereal consumption, but
perhaps an increase?"

Militia in Readiness to
Preserve Order in Strike
BIZ Assoctated Press.

Peoria, Ills, Aug. IA. Illinois
reserve militia units were ready to-
day to march to the Keystone Steel
and Wire Plant in South Barton
vile and preserve order in the steel
mills where fighting yesterday be-
tween striking employees and deputy
sheriffs resulted in the injury of
five persons.
A number of shots were fred dur
ing the night, but early to-day there
was no sign of further rioting Sew
eral explosions, believed to be dyna-
mite blasts, shook the works of the
plant early to-day but the extent of
the damage was not known. That
the blasts were inside of the guarded
works of the Keystone mills was
admitted to-day by officials of the
company.
The trouble dates back two
months when the employees struck
for higher wages and a closed shop.
The company granted an increase in
pay, but declined to recognize the
union. The plant has been closed
for several weeks.
