NEW BRITAIN athewson Repulses Attack On New York’s Leadership t. Louis Loses Opportunity ! . @& One Game to Giants—Suspension May Weak- & en Braves ’ St. Louis, Aug. 27—Christy Mathew- #on pitched one of the best games of his eminent career yesterday and broke the losing chain of the Giants. Matty’s luminous work on the peak, when he had all the speed, control and cunning of his prime, brought the rushing Cardinals to a halt and shut them out. The score was 4 to 0 in favor of the Giants, who gave Roland for an Oliver, for in the first game of the double header they were shut out by a tally of 1 to 0. Both games uncovered pitching of urpassing excellence, Matty's in the cond and that of Doak and Mar- uard in the first. The Rube and Doak had a man’s sized tussle in the first engagement, and there wouldn’t }have been any run at all unless in ien extra inning, but for a wild pitch hy Marquard. The wild fiing let Hug- gins in from second base. That was because there was a ground rule. If ;there hadn’t been a groynd rule, Hug- | gins would have reached third only on |the wayward toss and wouldn’t have scored. That, however, was the for- tune of war. Both Marquard and TDoak twirled with masterly effect the rest of the way. By losing the second game the Car- dinals missed their chance to go to first place and by winning it the Giants held onto first place by a tenu- ous margin. They did show, however, .| that they were prepared to battle hard before yielding the top rung of the ladder. took the proportions of a fusillade, ja while, and in both games the tactics they tried were executed with more vim than they have shown for some time.

Chicago, Aug. 27.—Chicago beat Boston 1 to 0 in a pitchers’ battle be- tween Cheney and Tyler. The. game ‘was marked by a fist fight with Heine Zimmerman on one side and with Maranville and Evers on the side of the allies. In the seventh round Vic |Safer drove the ball over the right !field fence for the only run of the 'game. Zimmerman singled on the mnext pitched ball and tried for a «double. The fight started when Heine reached second. The Teuton claims that Evers hit him with the ball as he slid in head first. Heine jumped up, squared away and the next instant the allies were upon him. Evers took a «crack and so did Maranville, who thought that his pal was in danger of getting the worst of it. Schmidt went galloping down to give any ald that /he could to his Boston pals, but Um- ipire Eason and the players of both Though their hitting never | they landed on Sallee spitefully for | to Take Pace By Dropping and Cubs. scored all their runs off Cicotte.

Brown pitched a game that will live long in the traditions of his family tree. To cap the climax he hit home the winning run, with one out, in the twelfth. Through the twelve raunds he allowed only eight hits and passed only three men. He served besides as an extra infielder for Chance, and a crackerjack too, for he threw out no less than eleven men.

Tip Tops, Back Home, Win, Brooklyn, Aug. 27.—The Tip Tops re- turned to Washington park vesterday afternoon after their longest road trip of the season and beat the Buffalo Feds by a score of 6 to 2. Each side got six hits, but Finneran kept those of Buffalo widely attered, whereas | Schulz yielded them in bunches. After five runs were made off Heine in six innings with the aid or errors and bases on balls Anderson went in and ylelded another in the eighth. Cooper celebrated his return to the game with a home run in the first inning. The score: T. Buffalo .. 10010000 0—2 Brooklyn 12010101 x—86 Batteries—Schulz, Anderson Blair; Finneran and Land.

They banished Zimmerman, Evers, Maran- ~ille and Schmidt. The Cardinals and the Giants seem to be the winners, for if President Tener suspends the play- ers it will riddle both the Boston and the Chicago inflelds. Smith at third would be the only Tegular in the inner defense for the Braves, while Saler would be the only man on the Cub infield playing his regular position.

New Haven, Aug. 27.—New Haven pushed Bill Scinski's Wanderers deeper into oblivion by annexing both games of yesterday’s double-header at the Savin Rock grounds Incidental- 1y, yesterday’s victories gave the lo- cals a clean sweep of the series just closed and also the undisputed claim to sixth place. Six to two was New Haven's margin of success in the opening number, while the final game was placed on the right side of the ledger, registering three and two. Pete Wilson, veterans of veterans, and at one time New Haven's Neme- sis, was the victim of the two de- feats. After the locals had won the first game with plenty to spare, Wil- son mounted the slab in the second fray with blood in his eye. He man- aged to survive the strenuous ordeal all right, and with a break of luck might have at least broke even. Pete’s defeats were indirectly the result of support that failed him at critical moments. The scores: New Haven. po. Pendleton, rf .. 4 McCormack, 2 b . If oeeenn Pepe, ss .
