The new South Market street bridge
over the Christiana river, at Whining
ton. was unofficially and informally
opened Thursday afternoon when Z.
d. Buck, head of the State Highway

mains to be done now on the bridge

trical controls and the operators

is rapidly nearing completion. The
span is a thorough type girder bridge
with a 38-foot roadway, wide enough
to accommodate five cars abreast IS

quered Alfonso at Glen Cove.
Perhaps the greatest upset came
in the defeat of Alfonso, brilliant

ranking player in the United States,
at 6-3, 8-6, by Fritz Mercur of Fhil-
adelphia, who never has gained a

SWetonic's Pitching and Mil
Ier's Batting Features
Double Header Today.

The Indians have won zone in a
row" again and were to tangle up
with the K. G. Blues today in a
double-header in the second and
third tiltS of the series.
The Blues, pennant feveriSh and
thirsting for Tribe gore and percent
age points, dropped into town Tues
day and much to their chagrin and
discontinue only sad words trickled
over the wires to Kawtown in the
series opener.
The Betzelites got some good
pitching and they went out and won
a ball game, 3 to 1. And in addi-
ton to getting more runs, the home

wallpapers who are noted for the
dynamite they pack in their blud-
geons.
Swetonic Shines
Steph Swetonic flung the agate
for the Indians and allowed only
six bingles in seven innings. Drop
ping out for a pinch hitter, Steph
was succeeded by Big" Schemanske,
and the burly hurler kept up the
fine work and permitted only one
hit in the two innings he operated.
The Tribe gathered ten smacks,
with Ralph Miller leading the slug
gipg with three hits in four efforts.
The big fellow from FIT. Wayne,
playing second in place of Manager
Bethel, who has not been hitting,
drove in two runs and scored the
other Tribe marker.
Buddie Connolly accepted ten
chances at short without slip and
started the winning eighth-inning
rally. Walter Holke also figured in
a number of brilliant plays.
K. C. got its run in the third
stanza on Nicholson's single. stolen
base and Michaers single, after two
we're out.
The Indians knotted the score in
the seventh. Miller singled and
stole second. After two out, Miller
moved to third on Matthews infield
hit. Ralph and Matty executed the
double-steal, the former scoring and
Matvy reaching third on Shinaults
bad throw. Wild then tried to steal
home and was nailed.

Connolly opened the eighth with
safe rap and Voter sacrificed;
Russell went out to Hauser unas-
sisted, Connolly taking third. Holke
was passed Intentionally and then
stole second when the Blues tried
to trap Connolly. Pitcher Roy lost
control and walked Layne, filling
the bases. Miller's single scored
Connolly and Holke and Layne was
retired on an attempted double
steal.
Smith played a wonderful game
at short for the visitors, accepting
twelve chances. He figured in three
double plays also and got two of the
Blues seven hits.
Larry Kopf. Tribe utility infielder.
was cut off the pay roll today. He
was given his outright release. Larry

SISLER MAY GO AWAY

n ISLER is certain to be traded.
INI Early this year three Ameri-
~ can League clubs were dicker-
ing for him. The Browns should
get some good material in return.
1t is unfortunate that illness may
end the career of Oscar Mellilo.
Few better infield prospects ever
have broken into the majors than
Mellilo. He may beat his illness,
pronounced as Bright's disease, and

OF the pitching staff, Milton
CASTOR will be much sought after
should he be placed on the mar
ket. 1 wouldn't be surprised If
he was one of the four to be re-
tanned.
Frank O'Rourke at third has
been one of the most valuable play
ers on the Browns. Secured for
utility roles, he has more than made
good. He seems certain of retention
in that role if not as a regular.
While Wally Shang and Steve
O'Neil are veteran catchers, both
still have several years of good serv-
ice in them.
On the surface, it looks like an
entire new inf1eld for the Browns
next season, one new man in the
outf1eld and an entirely rejuvenated
corps of pitchers, with some youth
full material added to the catching
staff.

70 Score Made
by Young Star

By United Press
CLEVELAND, Aug. 3.-Any kind
of an upset was looked for today as
the golfers in the second qualify
ing round of the national public
links tournament swung into action
to determine which thirty-two OF the
1914 contestants from all over the
country line up Thursday for first
round play.
With Lester Bolstad, winner OF
last years championship, taking an
80 for the first eighteen qualifying
holes and 17-year-old Clark Morse
of st. Louis going one over par with
10, no one was willing to make pre-
dictions today.
Bolstad, University of Minneso-
Ia ace, surprised every one with
his poor showing. The champion
was far from feeling at home on
the sporty Ridgewood course.
The performance of young Morse
was equalled in Tuesdays round by
only two others from the thirty
cities represented in the tourna-
ment. Those who finished with 70,
besides Morse, we're Carl Kauff-
mann of Pittsburgh and Carmen
Bill of Cleveland.

The Pirates lost out to the Bos-
ton Braves, 5 to 2, giving the
BoStonians a clean sweep of the
series. Carmen Hill, star Pirate
pitcher was injured catching a
throw to first, and was forced out of
the game. He dropped the throw,
AMI permitted two runs to go over
the plate.
The st. Louis Cardinals, who are
arguing for third place with the
New York Giants upset McGraw's
team, 6 to 2. The Giants got to
old Grover Alexander and Wee Will
lie Sherdel- for only six hits.
Snyder's home run with the bases
filled was the feature of the game.
The Cincinnati Reds took the
first game of twin bill from the
Brooklyn Robins, 8 to /, and won
the second by to 4~tally. The
double victory gave the Reds % game
