Instead, they find themselves in
a deliriously favorable spot. The
Cubs lost TO Brooklyn, ga, going
more than a hah-dozen games be-
hind. This jiggles up the Chicago
pennant situation like a hula dan
Ger on the beach at Hoonaonao. IT
means that if New York wins an
other game in st. Louis. 1t can boot
the series in Chicago next week and
still go home with a comfortable
lead.
This gums up things. indeed, be-
cause the Chicagoans were counting
on that series with the Giants to
white the leaders down to their
size. hold the pace until Sept. 5,
when they invade the Polo grounds,
and fight out the pennant business
on the Giants home lot.
Pittsburgh scored three in the
eighth to tie up the game with
Philadelphia, and Paul Waners long
fly sent Cookie Lavagetto home with
the winner in the ninth, 6-5. Bos-
ton and Cincinnati were rained out.
Ruffing Starts Spree
New York's Yankees cut down a
game on Detroit, battering Cleve-
land to a go defeat behind Red
Rulings six-hit cunning. A four
run spree in the third, started by
Rulings single and hits by Gehrig,
Chapman and Lazzeri, won the
game.
Meanwhile, Bob Burke, new Sena-
tor ace. rifled the Detroit Tigers for
the second straight loss, 81. Gro

Schultz and Susko scored three in
the fourth. The Tigers lead is now
only four games.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 24.-Yan-

Boston, needs only to beat Frede-
rick H. Princes Weetamoe today to
be the public's choice to defend the
Americas cup against T. o. NJ.
Sopwith's British challenger, En-

Final choice depends upon the
judgment of the racing committee

After the decisive beating Yankee,
weathered heroine of the 1880 cup
trials, administered to the Wander
bilt syndicate's fancy sea- going hard
ware, Rainbow, in yesterdays test
race, the general sentiment is over
whelmingly in favor of Yankee.
The Boston sloop, lacking trick

the scientific Rainbow possesses, out
sailed and outmaneuvered Harold S
Vanderbilt's craft over a thirty mile

DEATH SOUGHT
FOR k|DNAPERS.

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. IA Q.N.S).
The death penalty will be asked
by the State for four men who
kidnapped DR.. Santiago Claret,
former Cuban newspaper pub
Usher, and forced him to pay $16,.
900 for his freedom.
The kidnapers were held here to-
day awaiting grand jury action on
charges of kidnapping for ransom,
the penalty for which is death.
They are Roy Gray, the vic.
TINS chauffeur; his brother, F. H.
Gray; Warren Millard, starter for
q Miami Beach bus line, and Sam
Geller, bus driver of Bayonne,
N. j.
All four, police said, confessed
participation in the plot and said
they would plead guilty. In their
confessions the men said they be-
lieved DR.. Claret was running
guns into Cuba and carried a
large sum on his person. When
they found he was without cash,
they forced him to write check
for $4,000.
It was this check which led to
the mems arrest. DR.. Claret's
chauffeur was arrested as he
walked into a Miami bank to cash
the check after the Cuban broke
loose from his bonds in a deserted
apartment house, where his kid.
napers had carried him, and noti-
fled police.
