New York, Aug. 5.—There was a 'ul surcease from excitement and urrah in game No. 1 of series No. between the Giants and Cubs, played at the Polo Grounds yesterday won by the Giants, 4 to 1. This stful surcease was comparative. It intensified because it followed e bluster and quarrelsomeness of e New York-Cincinnati series.

Brooklyn, Aug. 5.—When it comes to 1 to 0 shutouts Miller Huggins mnever does have any luck. Brook- lyn cheated him out of one of these nerve rackers at Ebbets field yes- terday afternoon in the opening game of the Cardinals’ second visit here. It was a duel all the way between Pfeffer and Sallee. The slim south- paw was carried off his feet by the cunning of his wonderful young con- temporary. For eight innings Sal- lee pitched as cleverly as he ever _did in his brilllant career. But every time he looked round he saw Wilbert Robinson’s star pressing him closely ®nd well within his reserve force. St. Louis couldn't get a run to back this masterful twirling and in the end the fraller lefthander buckled slight- 1y under the strain.

The four- sacker came: in the .third with men on all the corners. The four: runs scored in that session with three in the seventh gave the home talent the game, 7 to 5. Anderson started the game for the visitors but threw his arm out try- ing to retire Phillips on strikes and gave way to Hancock, who finished the game. Shermar was in the box for Pittsfield, but he was forced to throw up the sponge in the ninth and Troy retired the side after two runs had been scored. Harry Noyes played at third and put up a strong game. He made three hits, flelded faultlessly and took part in two double plays. Gus Zei- mer tallied two safe whacks.

Brooklyn, Aug. 5.—Joe Finneran settled to earth just in time to cut short a Kansas City batting rally in the sixth inning at Washington park and the Tip Tops pulled through victors by b to 4. One hit and three errors gave Brooklyn three runs in the first round. A double, two singles and a walk eri- abled the Packers to tie it in the third. Cullop was knocked out of thé box by Brooklyn in the fitth, when two runs were made and Adams relieved him. Finneran seemed due for the same medicine in the sixth. With two out, Godwin doubled, ad- vanced on Kruger's single and scored on Rawlings’ single. Finneran passed Easterly, filling the bases, but he made Pinch Hitter Potts fly out to Griggs.

C., Aug. 5.—Mili- tary experts here agreed last night that if the general staffs of the French and German armies are try- ing to conceal the objects of their campaign until the completion of mobilization, they have succeeded wonderfully so far as the outside world is concerned. Officers of the army general staff said that the ‘contacts” reported yesterday from various points on the French and German border, like those which have preceded them, are inconsequential. Such movements as the crossing of the German troops into French territory near Mars La Tour; the raild by the Germans across the Belgian border near Gem- mench and the dropping of bombs from French aeroplanes _into the Hotel Powhatan WASHINGTON, D.

The opinion here is that German mobilization will be complete in about ten days. American officers are with particular interest Germany's attitude toward Belgium. They be: lieve that even without the redemp- tion of the guarantee of neutrality the Belglans can give a very good account of themselv. During the Franco-Prussian war the little na- tion turned out an army of a quar- ter of a million men which success- fully maintained the integrity of Belgian soil. On a war footing the Belgian troops now number 275,000, accord- ing to the last technical report. watching KRONPRINZ WILHELM’S DEPARTURE LEGAL United States Was Not Informed of ‘War Between Germany and France Before Vessel Cleared. Washington, Aug. 5.—No question can be raised successfully as to the right of the Kronprinz Wilhelm to leave New York with as much coal and even munitions of war as she can carry, according to the experts of the state department, notwithstanding re- ports that her purpose is to replenish coal and ammunition chests of Ger- man cruisers reported hovering around New York seeking means to continue their voyage to home wa- ters or some other place of safety, When the Kronprinz cleared Mén- day this government had not been advised of a state of war between France and Germany, nor had a neu- trality proclamation been issued to prohibit belligerents from making free use of American ports. Also it was declared that even after the issue of such proclamation there is no prohibition in interna- tional law against the sale by Amer- icans of any quantity of military sup- plies, coal or other contraband of war to ‘the aid of a belligerent govern- ment. Of course, it is understood that the latter must take the contra- band away at their own risks, as the ships carrying them are subject to capture and seizure, TIME EXTENDED. New York, Aug. 5.—The time given the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad company to file an answer to the government's dissolu- tion suit was extended yesterday to Sept, 10 by Judge Grubb in the fed- |eral district court. Other defendants lin the suit were given a similar ex- | tension of time. The suit was filed labout two weeks ago and the defen- | dants were then given twenty days in which to answer. { game and were never in danger. The COACH IS BENCHED FOR SEASON OF 1914 Many Other New Rules Adopted for Football. The football coach has “benched.” While games progress during will be politely been are but firmly requested to take a seat on the sidelines with the other substitutes and play the role of an interested spectator. The last privileze of the gridiron boss has been removed in the 1914 rules which recently came out. No one will be allowed to walk up and down the side lines save officials and linesmen. There are many changes in the playing code for next season, the principal ones being alterations in the rules governing the forward pass, | “‘roughing” the fullback and tripping. The interpretations which were passed at the officials’ meeting last fall also have been incorporated in the rules. In order to facilitate the handling of big games, the field judge is to be brought back. = He will act as as- sistant to the referee and linesman in the larger contests, but, on account of the expense at small games, addition of this official is left option- al. “Roughing” the fulback after a kick has been changed to “roughing the kicker.” This was done to pre- vent penalizing a man who happens to run against the kicker in an at- tempt to block a punt. erate attempt is made to injure the kicker, however, the penalty remains the same as before. A rule also is added putting a penalty on a man who roughs a player who has just made a forward pass. A rule which will excite some com- ment is that which governs the for- ward pass that goes out of bounds on the fly or after it has been touched by an eligible player of either side gces to the opponents at the point where the ball crossed the side line. Another important alteration prevents a man making a forward pass from throwing the ball to the ground inten- tionally, when he sees that he cannot make the play. The trick was cleverly worked last year, for the thrower's side would lose only one down, the ball going back to the place where it was scrimmaged. This is not pre- vented by a ten vard penalty, meas- ured from where the ball was put into play. . When a kicked ball (except one scoring a goal) strikes the opponents’ goal bar or posts and bounds back into the field of play it becomes au- tomatically a touchback. In one of the important games last year a player failed to distinguish be- tween an ordinary punt in the fleld and a free Kick hitting the goal post. This mistake cost his team a safety, and in order to avoid complications of this kind the rules have been al- tered so that a free kick hitting the goal posts and bounding back into the field of play becomes a touchback the same as an ordinary punt. The kickout has been abolished. After a touchback or safety the ball must be put into play by a scrim- niage on the 20-yard line. A clause also is inserted to include “tripping by hands” under the rule which formerly covered only tripping with the foot or leg. GAMES IN OTHER LEAGUES. International League.

MACKMEN IN FALL | New Haven Trir Wil Be Giv Trial by Ahietics 691 622 536 New Haven, Aug. 5.—A deal will be consummated within the next few” daye whereby Bill Jensen, the Néw Haven pitching star, will report to the Philadelphia club of the American league at the end of the Eastern as- soclation season. Manager Connle Mack, pilot the world’s cham- pions, has heard encouraging repofts ,regarding Jensen's ability through his scouting agencies and is deter- mined to give the elongated pitcher a thorough trial. Manager Connell of the New Ha- ven club was questioned last night concerning the deal and wouldn't deny that negotiations are being car- ried on between the Philadelphia and | New Haven managers over Jensen. Connell said that he may be able td give further light on the matter within a few days. The present season marks the | fourth year for Jensen as a member of the local club. He received a try- [ out here in 1911 and -vas sent to the Fall River club of the New England league for further seasoning thag vear. Two years ago he was recom- mended to the Detroit Americans by Jim Canavan. and pitched several | games for the Tigers. He was later | farmed to Providence of the Interna- tional league and was last year sent | back here. He is one of the best pitchers in the association, and hails from Kensington, a suburb of Phil delphia, Pa. In the event that th deal materials, and the chances are | that it will, Jensen will cut into the world's series melon as the Athletics | are favorites to capture the American | league championship again. | Yesterday's scheduled game at the Prairie between Hartford and New Haven failed to materialize owing to rain. As a result, local fans will not have an opportunity to see the new players in action until Sunday, as the | locals will be on the road for the re- | mainder of the week. Lost New London ....
