Wyckoff pitched for the Athletics and the Boston sluggers hit him hard and aften. Boston jumped into lead : when Henricksen rocked Wyckoff for a triple and counted on Hooper's sin- gle. Then Speaker walked and when Malone booted Gardner’s roller Hoop- er counted and Speaker took thirqd, Hoblitzel scored him with a fly to Haag in left. Those runs would have sufficed, but for good measure ! the Red Sox kept as it until the total reached 7. The score: 3 o . h. e.

BUT FAIL TO WIN McGraw Derricks a Number of His Team But it Does no Good. Philadelphia, Sept. 11.—Manager McGraw shook up his team yester- day, taking out Grant and Thorpe and rearranging the batting order. The Giants lost just the same, by a score of 7 to 8. The Phillies made it four straight. The New Yorkers threat- ened to win, but were outlucked and outslugged. The Quakers made only six hits, but made all of them count. Tesreau pitched a fine game for six innings, but in the eighth caved in. A single, two passes and a mighty home run by the burly Cravath and his burly bat cleaned up four runs in a clump and shoved the tottering Giants into the dungeon. The score: = r. .

COBB HAS SLUMP BUT LEADS LEAGLE Detroiter Batting for .870—Doyle Leads National League Chicago, Sept. 11.—Ty Cobb has again fallen into a batting slump. But despite a drop of five points be- low his mark of last week, the Detroit star still is leading the American league with an average of .370, ac- cording to averages published here today. Cobb maintains his speed on the bases, however, and is leading the league with 82 stolen bases. He also has strengthened his margin as the leading run-getter, having scored 130. Crawford, Cobb’'s teammate, drove Ty from the top of the total base column with a total of 249 bases, 12 more than Cobb's mark. Other batters hitting in the 300" | class are: Jackson, Chicago, .327; they Poe or Brickley or day within the WILD HORSE MAKES DASH AT PARADERS Furnished About All Excitement at Charter Oak Hartford, Sept. 11.—Tommy Mur- phy won two more races at Charter, Oak Park yesterday, the final day of the Grand Circult races, and Walter Cox’s Camelia captured the 2:14 pace. Murphy's Lulu Lumine won the 2:11 trot in stralght heats, and her five near campetitors all finished the three heats in the same corresponding posi- tions. Parcliffe and Nathan Ax- worthy being distanced in the first 'heat. It was an unusual sight to see six horses finishing three times in the same order. Earlwood L, a Hartford horse, forced Lulu to a head v finish each time and it Appeared that with a bit more urging Crozier's horse might have won at least one heat. After the first heat, W. H, McCar- thy of Goshen, N. Y., had Parcliffe out for a jog when the gelding bolted and threw McCarthy so heavily that a physiclan's services were necessary, The horse, dragging the sulky, ran wild around the track in the reverse order while a parade of school chile dren was marching up the track. Camelia, which claimed a ' time allowance to enter the 2:14 pace, made easy work of all three heats, Hal 8. taking heats. In the wmec- ond heat Geers, coming from far in the rear with Budd Elliott, made a wonderful drive to the wire, making second place and getting third money. Trampright, a Murphy entry, drew the pole in the first heat of the 2:15 trot, which had a field of ten hqrses. Lucy Reynolds was distanced in the Princess Nelda was drawn in the third heat. For the rest, however, the flelds were well bunched in all the, heats, Alma H. contesting with” Trampright in the second heat and Idoro Worthy in the third.
