BY DENMAN THOMPSON. athletes gratified, too. B UFFALO, N. Y., July 7—It was a pretty well satisfied bunch of \vho piled off the sleeper from Boston this morning, and The Nationals’ satisfaction is due to the fact that by obtaining an even split yesterday, winning i to 0, after dropping the 2 firdt game, 1 to in twelve innings, they finished their sojourn in the Huyb with a record of five victories as agains a single defeat. Under ordinary circumstances the boys might feel all puffed up, but the awful fliever they made against the Mackmen in Washington is of too recent date to permit that. i The gratification they feel is due to the fact that the railroad schedule permits of a three-hour stop-off here to break the monotony of.continuous riding between Boston and St. Louis, where the Nationals are due to open a series of four ga They boarded their train last even- ing at 8:30, arrived here at 10 this morning and at 1 o'clock got on the rattler again, being due in the Mound city tomorrow morning at 7:30. thinty-five-hour ride at this season of the,year is no part of a soft snap. _ Games Are Pitchers’ Battles. The bargain show at Fenway Park yesterday greatly resembled that at : hington last Friday in that both wéfe pitching battles. with little evi- dene of the fact that base balls this ¥ are being made of “better ma- tepfals.” As in Washington last week, rge Mogridge grew a twelve-in- contest, with the difference that his portion at the hands of ., although in justice to P it must be stated that eserved a shut-out win as but for pse by one of his teammates the Jvould not have scored in nine s. was none other emd George Erickson who occupied center of the spotlight in the r battle. The Swede has not been usted with the than our old task of starting y games of late and he has looked .from impressive in most of his at- pts to finish them. But he was goods yesterday, earning a clean tewash victory by limiting the eyites to five scattered bingles.

Ruel popped foul to Shanks, and Scott, thinking to catch’ Erickson napping, bunted. Olaf was on the alert this time, however, and calmly tossed to Judge for the third out. Following the second and through the cighth only four scattered sin- gles were registered off Jones, two by Miller and one each by Rice and Picinich. i The fourth bingle off Erickson was ohtained in .the eighth. by Vitt, but he was caught down by Picinich in fan attempt to steel. With two out in the ninh, Collins rammed a safety to conter, but it was all over When Mclnnis lofted to Rice. B Caught on the Fly i BUFFALO, July 7.—A number of uting fancy stuff. Not a single mis- cue on either side developed in the course of the two games. Rice was cheated of a well deserved bingle in the sixth inning of the sec- ond game when his terrific liner hit Oscar Vitt's glove and stuck. , Shano Collins was the most con- sistent biffer of the afternoon. After getting a safety in the opener he col- lected three of the total of five swats the Sox nicked Erickson for. O'Rourke went hitleps in the second battle for the first time since the se-! ries opened, his seven safeties in twenty-two times at bat giving him an average of .318 for the series. The Red Sox ean be thankful that all socks do not come in pairs. They took four straight double drubbings ! before oJe Judge helped them break the spell yesterday.

Tight pitching and perfect felding marked the American League games yesterday, while hits were frequent in the National League contests. Grimes of the Dodgers poled out the solitary home run of the day. Two- baggers were the longest American League hits.

Konetchy, veteran first-sacker, acquired by the Phillies this week, made three hits and drove in four runs. In the Dodgers' 11-to-4 win over the Glants, Grimes, Brooklyn hurler, made a double and two singles in addition to his homer, and held the Giants scoreless until the ninth. It was his seventh straight victory. Rochester Defeats Yankees. ROCHESTER, July 7.—The Réches- ter team defeated the Yankees in an exhibition game yesterday by a score of 4 to 2. The International Leaguers made ten hits off Tom:Sheehan and Alex Ferguson. Post and Murray held Babe Ruth and his co-workers to seven hits. The Yanks made five er- rors. Life’s Darkest Moment. —By Websters ROAMER NINE PREPARED ¢ P & A TERRI'BLE BACK-LASH SUST AS THE BASS START RISI NG — Guoyright, 1081, i T. Websten TY, TELL US OF THOSE GREAT YOUNG HURLERS BYZJOHN B. FOSTER. P Cautious folks did not dispute pitchers. If Detroit had been possessed of high-class young pitchers, or old pitchers of abundant skill, all that good batting of which Detroit has been guilty this summer would have won more for the Tigers than it has. For no team has more powerful bat- ting gone to waste. Peace be with Ty. He is not the first man who has been fooled by his own ball club. Center of Attraction. The jumping-off place in base ball— the big league kind—this year is on a line extended south from Cleveland to Pittsburgh. Geographically the fans are not supposed to rave beyond the parallel of longitude which runs from one steel center to the other. It is the first time such a thing has happened In years. With both St. Louis clubs out of the race, unless a miracle injects winning elixir into the veins of the Cardinals, with both Chi- cago clubs almost as idle as a painted ship; with neither Detroit nor Cincin- nati much more than moribund, what is there over which the prairie and the woodland can get up a little hysteria? Yet to show how interest in the great national game breaks out in spots like the measles, it may be added that every river town in the Ohio and Mississippi valley is root- ing for Pittsburgh to win in the Na- tional. They did the same thing when Cincinnati was in the running for a pennant. Those river towns all feel that they have a common interest in the world. None knows as they do what it is to be waked up at night and look out of the window to find the house floating into the next county. Texas and the plains—the plains where there are real ranches—are fightng mad over the chances of Cleveland. That is because of Tris Speaker.

Interest Is Widespread. ‘There is really more interest in the major fights in some cities which do Dot have big league clubs than there Is in cities of the classic sixteen.

DETROIT. Mich, July 7.—Flelding H. Yost, recently appointed director of intercollegiate athletics at the Uni- versity of Michigan, and for twenty years coach of the varsity foot Ball squad, told the Michigan Club some of his department’s plans at a lunch- eon here yesterday. By the 1st of September, Yost an- nounced,™ Michigan would have the third largest foot ball stadium in the country. It is to seat 44,000, he said, and will be dedicated when Ohio State meets Michigan, on October 22. The stadium will be surpassed in size only by Princeton and Yale. Many colleges, Yost said, have un- derrated the importance of athletics as a part of higher education. His new department. he added, would seek to train students in “playing the game of life” as well as in attaining high standards of physical fitness. Intramural athletics attracted 4,068 students at Michigan last year, Yost stated. Irwin Huston, vice president of the club, who introduced the mentor, re- viewed the foot ball record of Michi- gan since Yost took charge of the team. The Wolverines in that time, he said, had scored .a total of 4,869 points against 765 for opposing team: There were 131 Michigan victories an: twenty-six defeats, twelve games be- ing tied. —_—— PIHDMONT LEAGUE.
