NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1914. GIANTS STILL THINK THEY'LL BE ON ToP But Dick Rudoph Wins His Elevetn = Slraight Game. Both the Braves gained yround on the champions yesterday, Stallings’ sen- satinas downed the Pirates. Chicago beat Brooklyn. Phiiadelphia trimmed the Cardinals, knocking them a full game further from the challengers and tightening the race in the Na- tional league to a more thrilling de- gree than anything else séen in five years. The Phillies’ victory tied them with the Dodgers and Pirates for fifth place. and the Cubs idling Giant Cincinnati, Aug. 21.—The Giants, still in the ring, arrived here yester- day morning and had a day to them- selves to think it over.’ The players are still strong in the belief that they will win the pennant in spite of their failure to show pennant form for a large part of the season. Nevertheless they are ahead and think they will stay there. Even if they don’t they think they can regain first place. They ' have eight more games with Bos- ton and regard those conflicts as a good place to make up lost ground, to say nothing of getting even for their recent trimming by the Braves.

Chicago, Aug. 21.—Francis Ouimet, defending his title yesterday, made' & splendid 69 in the first round.of. the seventy-two hole finals of the national’ open golf tournament at the Mid- lothian club. This was within one point of the course record, set yester- day forenoon by Walter C. Hagen of Rochester. Ouimet and Hagen both fell off in the second round, taking 78 and 74, respectively. Hagen'’s total of 142 led the field of sixty-five in the first day’s play and gave him a good chance for the title. Ouimet totaled 145, and was third, temporary second place going to Tom McNamara of Boston, who scored an evenly balanced 143, keeping up his brilliant work of Wednesday, when he qualified with a 145. Charles Evans, Jr., western ama- teur champion, and Warren K. Wooad, former western title holder, finished well up in the list, with 160 each. Evans’' putting was bad. William Rautenbusch, a public links product of Chicago, made a score of 151, Joe Mitehell, a professional, Upper Montclair, who had drawn tc play alone, turned in the best score of the afternoon, but his 69 only landed him in fourth place, as he took 77 in the morning. Hagen's 68 in the morning set a record for the course, as the 68 made by Paul Hunter some time ago was over a shorter links and not in competition Ouimet drove splendidly in the forenoon, approached well, and putted i almost perfectly.

More Than Omne Milllon Bushels Shipped in British Ships. Washington, Aug. z1.—More than one million bushels of American | wheat are on the way to Switzerland in British bottoms, .the shipment of three cargoes having been arranged by Dr. Charles Paul Hubscher, charge i of the legation here. Arrangements have been made to allow the passage | through France and Italy of food- stuffs intended for Switzerland. The legation has little fear that the cargoes will be taken by Great Brit- ain, although she could do so provid- ed payments were made. At the Brir- ish. embassy it was said England did not need more foodstuffs than she was procuring. HAVE TWO GAMES. The Mount Pleasant baseball nine will play: the Ramblers in Hartford | Saturday: Sunday the Independents of Hartford will play the Mount Pleasants at the Burritt street grounds. Two fast games are antici- pated. y When ‘a fan recently yelled to him: “Why don’t you run?'" Sallee .replied: “I'm too lazy.” Sallee believes in con- serving his strength for use in the box. He will bat if he has to and will run when a run is needed. but with his team a few tallies ahead he merely 8oes through the formality of batting. TOTAL ECLIPSE OF SUN IN ASIA MINOR Phenomenon Was Only Partially Visible in the United States.— All Europe in Shadow. Washington, Aug. 21.—An eclipse of the sun, which cast complete darkness over a strip eighty-five miles wide through Russia, Scan- dinavia, Asia minor, Persia and India, was only partially visible in the United States but was observed by astronomers at the Naval observa- tory. All Europe, a portion and Asia, however, fell shadow. It was not visible in this country farther south than Washington nor west of North Dakota. The shadow fell upon the earth first in Hudson's Bay and disappeared on the coast of Africa, just north of the equator. In 1918 another total eclipse of the sun will be visible in the Unitea States. = Scientific parties are . being organized to observe it in Fliroda.

Both teams being i bgolutely at a deadlock at the men- ticn of other local officlals, the only lution of the dificulty was to securs “n out-of-town man. After some dickering “Larry” Mangan, of New Pritain, far and away the classiest up-state arbiter, was secured, and this insured impartial umpiring of the Lighest calibre. Although reports from the High- wobd camp have it that Salmon is to be Watrous' opponent in the box, there is a persistent rumor about town that Bill Walsh of New Britain, last season’s Fordham captain and re- cipient of many big league offers, will toe the glab for the Dixwell avenue contingent. Whichever man is chosen 1o do the honors, a battle royal is cer- tuin. Odds are still even, although Highwood has been considerably strengthened by the addition of Me- Nerney, Doughan and Hertz, . RUDOLPH PLAYED HERE, Pitched for New Haven Under Name of King "in 1909, New Haven, Aug. 21.-—~New Haven baseball fans probably recall the name of King, a pitcher, who tolled for the local club five years ago when George D, Bone, Jr. managed the club, but few realize that this same fellow is one of the sensations of the National lezgue. Dick Rudolph, the pitching wonder of the Braves, is the person referred to. Rudolph was attending Manhattan eollegé at the time ahd pitched for the baseball team there. One day late in the season ‘of 1909¢ Rudolph approached Bone for a try. out. The Néew Haven téam was in a bad way for a pitcier and Bone readily’ consénitéd to give the young- sfer an opportunity to show - his worth. He pitched in several gam here and showed good form, but for some unknown reason disappeared before the close of the Connecticut league season, Rudolph twirled under the name of King so as to cont ceal his identity, as he feared that if theauthorities at the college learned | of his whereabouts he would be black- | listed from playing college ball, ——— APPEAL MADE TO PAGE.
