Walter Johnson and Charlic Robertson were mound oppo- nents at the outset of hostilities. and for five innines the former had ail the best of it, but when the Bucks re- ~orte pitching strategy in the sixth and failed to make good wit it, Johnson's prospects of success wer not so bright.

Many such plays have been scored errors. but the official scorer called Willie's blow a triple. Triple or error, it counted Collins and Falk. Wilie, thoush, tried to get home and was snared by a Rice-Harris-Ruel Play How the Bucks Tallied. That more than offset a run off bertson in the first frame due te Nemo Leibold's pass, Harris' sacrifice, Rice's infleld single, Gosl walk and Joe Judge's sacrifice fly, and an- other tally in the sixth. a homer into the left-field bleachers off Blue: bat. But Bluege. who is a Chicago boy, showed his fellow citizens that the Bucks were not to be counted out of action when he knocked a fly to deep left, enabling Goslin to get home from third with the tving run in the eighth. Goslin had strolled to begin the frame, and went to third when Judgs singled. Joc's blow sent Rob- ertson to the showers and brought George Connally to the hill. Con- nally had stopped the Bucks cold in three previous games this season when they threatened to start some- thing, but Bluege got to the tough hurler for enough to keep his club going. Connally was stingy in the ninth, but in the tenth he dug his own grave with his lack of control, and his support was unable to prevent him falling into it. Harris singled to start the round and Rice walked. Bucky was caught off second by Con- nally's snap throw to Barrett, but Goslin also drew a pass and Barrett's fumble of Judge's rap crammed the sacks. Catcher Crouse Lends Aid. Then Catcher Crouse took a hand in the proceedings, much to the dis- comfiture of his club. Bluege rolled to Barrett, who threw to Crouse for an easy force play upon Rice. But Crouse was so intent upon trying for a double play that did not material- ize that he failed to keep hfs foot on the plate and Rice counted, leaving the bases crowded. Tuel also rolled to Barrett and this time the catcher kept his foot in contact with the plate for a forceout of Goslin, but, in trying to get the ball to first ahead of Muddy Ruel, tossed to right field, and Judge and Bluege scored. That broke the losing streak. MINOR LEAGUE RESULTS AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. Columbus, 4; Minneapolis, 3. £t. Paul, 6; Toledo, 5. Indianapo ‘ansas City, 3. Milwaukee, Louisville, 6. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.

The fleet Chi- cagoan ran far back for a great leap- ing catch of Nemo's liner. Two snappy double plays were ne- gotiated by the Bucks. In the sec- ond inning, as Kamm fanned, Falk tried to take second, but fell a vic- tim to Ruel's arm. Bluege speared Collins’ lixer in the fourth and dou- bled Hooper off first. Three times Johnaon intentionally passed White Sox after two were out. This strategy was employed on Crouse In the fifth and Falk in the eighth, but it was damaging when Kamm hit after Falk's walk in the sixth. Peck made a brilliant one-handed stop of Archdeacon’s line drive in the ninth. The ball was traveling low almost over the second sack. Connally was on first with two out at the time.

The Yankees increased their lead in the race for the pennant when they defeated the Indlans in a free- hitting contest, 7 to 5. and are now two full games in front of their nearest rivals, the Tygers. Cobb's team lost the opening game of the four-game series with Boston, 4 to 2. Washington's winning from Chicago, 6 to 3. did not gain on the Yanks, but cut the Tygers' advantage in second place to one game. The Clan McGraw made jt five games out of six from Chicago in the National League, winning, 5 to 3. The Giants now have a nine-and-a- half-game lead over Pittsburgh, in second position. Artie Nehf pitched a strong game for the home club, going the full distance. Brooklyn landed the last game of the series from Pittsburgh, 9 to 6. Pittsburgh won her first three games of the series and the Robins the last two. Yde, the Pittsburgh hurler, lost his first game of the season after winning eight, three of which were from Brooklyn. Pittsburgh is now a game and a half in front of the Cubs, who, in turn, lead Brooklyn a like distance. The Cincinnati club made a clean sweep of its four-game series with the Phillies, winning the closing game of the series, 6 to 3. The Reds scored all of their runs in the second inning. The Braves went down to defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Cardi- nals, 6 to 2, Hornsby's timely_hit- ting being largely responsible. Man- ager Dave Bancroft, who is recover- ing from an operation for appendi- citis, returned to the Braves and di- rected play from the bench. BURKE TO PILOT MACON.

MRS, E-C HABLES BOWLED 722 GAMES (N SUCCESSION 11,592 P N2 HOwRs Gonlig, 18 SANDE IS CONFIDENT HE WILL RIDE AGAIN SARATOGA SPRINGS $.—-Earl Sande, America's jockey, who was injured seriously in an accldent in the first race at the Saratoga track Wednesday, is rest- ing as well as could be expected. it was reported at the Saratoga Hos- pital, where he was taken immediate- Iy after his removal from the race course. The popular jockey is extremely uncomfortable, suffering excruclating pain from his fractured leg. His suf- ferings are augmented by the great heat and humidity. Despite all this, he bore up with the rare courage that is one of his marked characteristics, striving to hide his physical pain from his de- voted wife. In the language of his nurse, Sande's condition was “not 8o good.” although she added that his general physical condition is good and he is not con- sidered in a dangerous state. Clean living, a robust conetitution ard con- tinuous exercise in the open air are important factors which should has- ten his ultimate recovery Strong hopes are held out that Sande eventually will return to perfect phy- sical condition, provided no compil- cations follow the serious fractures. Somebody conveyed to the injured Jockey the current report that his riding days were over. It was char- acteristic of the boy that he set his lips and exclaimed: 1 fool them all; I'll ride again.” That, however, is very improbable. Admiral Grayson said Sande met his fate through an effort to save another jockey. Breuning was coming up on the rail just inside of Sande. Another jockey might have held the younger rider pocketed there, but Sande, alive to the situation, saw the impending jam as Marinelli crossed his field. To save little Breuning, on the rail, he eased his mount out and took the full force of the shock of the collision without regard to the consequences to himself. Admiral Grayson gave a non-tech- nical description of Sande's injuries which he thought would be of inter- est to the thousands who have fol- lowed Earl's career on the race track. There are two square fractures of the left leg, both clean breaks, one a lit- tle above the knee and the other about 6 inches higher. Above the up- per fracture there is a splintered con- dition on either side and well defined. There is no fracture below the knee and the hip joint is uninjured.

Detroit and Chicago Yell before the Washington Typos in the deciding matches yesterday. The Windy City nine was nosed out in a stirring 6-to- 5 batte, while Detroit took a 9-to-0 beating. Simons of the Washington team was mainly responsible for Detroit's downfall. The District player held his opponents to flve scattered bin- gles and crashed a triple and two doubles. ‘Washington encountered a tougher foe in the Chicago combination. Trailing 4 to 0 at the end of the third, the District Typos came to life in the next session and pushed over three taillles. Desper and Suess of the victors contributed five safeties be- tween them. Washington put the game in the van on blows by Desper, Hutchinson and Simons. DISTRICT SENIOR LEAGUE TO HAVE LATE CAMPAIGN ILOTS of the newly organized District Senior League are optimistic. P They not only expect to offer a keen brand of competition, but they intend to stage their final games on October 12, a time of the year when most tossers have discarded their diamond uniforms for the foot ball suits. The managers are to turn in their list of eligible-players before Sunday, when two games will be played. A meeting will be held Monday night at 8 o'clock at 529 Eleventh street southeast. SLUGGERS MATCHED FOR BARRACKS SHOW Jumbo Eggleston and Jack Turner, two slugging middleweights, will sup- ply the action in the 10-round feature bout Wednesday night at the Wash- ington Barracks under the auspices of the Enlisted Men's Service Club. Turner flashed to the limelight by pointing the way to Tex Stovall, and he should make matters interesting for Jumbo. Eggleston, however, is a terrific hitter, having almost knocked out Bobby Marriott in a recent mill at Sportland. Frankie Mann, Ariels will tackle the Shamrock Seniors and the Ballston nine will face the Carlin Springs team in the opening games today. While it was planned to muster eight nines for the league, only four have agreed to compete. Max Captain was elected treasurer and secretary of the cir- cuit last night. Play in another new loop, the Inde- pendent Junior League, was to start today with tbs Ariels meeting the Montours on the former’ grounds. The game will start at 5 o'clock. C. B.

Base ball of the first order s ex- pected Sunday when the Herzls face the Kanawhas on diamond No. 3 of the Monument grounds. Play will start at 11 o'clock. The Herzls hope to make it fous in a row. Team representatives of the Poto- mac League are to meet tonight at the St. Stephen’s clubhouse. Dates for the sectional championships will be decided. Interstate Commerce Commission nine, that made such an impressive showing in the Departmental League a few seasons ago, has decided to en- ter the sandlot ranks again. Only practice games will be held the re- mainder of this season, but the nine hopes to compete in the Departmental loop next vear. Jones, Kee, Murray, Clatterbuck, Albus, King, Sontag, Bowman, Knowles, Phipps, Feary Shaw and Cumberland are good pros pects. Challenges to the team are being received by Manager Sontag at Main 7460. Berwyn Midgets are on the lookout for games, according to the manager, who can be telephoned at Main 6442 between 12 and 12:30 o'clock A match with the Smithfield Midgets is wanted particularly. Navy Yard Marines proved no match for the Bolling Field tossers, the lat- ter winning, 10 to 6. Swanson, win- ning boxman, struck out 11 batters. Yankee Athletic Club will strive to mow down the Stantons Sunday, at 3 o'clock, on diamond No. 1 of the Mon- ument Grounds. Stanton players are to report at 2 o'clock at Second and D streets northeast. Shamrock Midgets will gather to- night at the home of Manager Law- rence, while the Shamrock Seniors will hold a meeting at the same place tomorrow night.

DUAL DEFEAT BY MACKS CHECKS RUSH OF BROWNS Crumpling of Sislerites After Making Forward Rushes on Previous Occasions Causes Doubt That They Have Real Pennant Class. N BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YOBK, August 8—Ever since the St. Louis Browns departed 'frorn New York on their last Eastern trip they have been cutting in on the lead of the Yankees, Detroit and Washington. St. Louis has done this before and then fallen down. For that rea son any fresh spurt they make now is viewed with skepticism. Earliet this year they took a start that looked most promising. They began ta] hit together and the loyaity which the players showed to Sisler made it seem as if the Browns would be as much a contender in the fight as New York or Detroit. Washington at that time had not even begun to loom Then the Browns crumpled for a variety of reasons. Injured players had mucl_- to do with it, and the pitchers did not come up to expectaticns, Some objected to the manner in which Sisler handled his team. but they always do that to any manager when his club falls off after a spurt.
