Pittsburgh, Sept. 18.—The Giants rapped the ball right smartly in the first game of a double header yes- terday and lost. In the second game they batted quite mildly and lost. ‘Whatever it is that they do in the course of their ball games, the point in this, their losing is pretty nearly unanimous. The score of the first game was 9 to 6 in favor of the Pi- rates and of the-.second 5 to 0. The Pirates won both tilts by clear- ly defined supgriority in ball playing, the superiority distributed in this wise: The teams were practically even in batting streni¥h in the first event but the Pittsburgh fielding was steady and deft, whereas that of the Giants was sloppy and fatuous. In the second game the Pittsburgers ex- celled the Poloists, who are sinking fast in the quicksahds of last place through their haphazard and unkempt playing, in fielding and in batting.

Today’s Games to Settle International League Race—Buffalo Still Leads, ‘Buffalo, Sept. 18.—The Buffalo club of the International league, managed by Pat Donovan, moved closer to the pennant yesterday by breaking even in a double-header with Jersey City, while Providence dropped two games to Toronto. The pennant race has been one of the closest in several sea- sons, and up to a week ago Provi- dence, last year’'s winner, looked as if they would again capture the flag. Buffalo, however, has been playing the most consistent ball, while the Providence club found the pace too fast. When the two clubs met in the crucial series fo the season, early in the weck, Buffalo took the first game, while the second resulted in a tie. This placed Buffalo in the lead, and their position was strengthened yes- terday. The season will close today, with both of the leading teams playing double-headers. If Providence wins both games with Toronto today and Buffalo loses both games to Jersey City, Providence will again win the flag. However, Buffalo stands an ex- cellent chance of taking at least one of the games today with Jersey City, and this victory will assure them of the pennant by a small margin. t is seldom that the race has, been so close that the pennant has not been decided until the last game, 18.—Brooklyn took %avender in | 1} ' WALSH TO PITCH FOR PIONEERS.

The boys from the “shop” covering themselves with glory by taking two out of three | games from their opponents. The game was late in starting due to the absence of “Art” Connor of the | Veribest team, and at 8:30 o'clock i the managers of both teams agreed to allow “Bill” Hart, who was supposed to he a ringer, start. The first game was a nifty contest, with the Herald boys bowling up o form. In this game Captain Edwards and Captain Hornkohl had a gruelling battle with the star pin smasher ot the Herald coming out on top. “Art” McEvoy was the second high man in this frame with a mark of 83, “Scoop” O’Brien also rolled his usual steady game and made a score of 79. Daly and McAllister were off form, particularly the star lead off man, who was suffering from stage fright, but was outlucked by a number of bad splits. The second game was a thriller, it going to the opposition by five pins. In this game Captain Hornkohl made the high score of the evening of 114, and Guy Berry also reachedl high water mark with 104. 'The boys from the meathouse when the score was counted by “Tom” Lawlor were found to be in the fore, by a sccre of 405 to 400. Now for the finish. After a slight intermission the two teams went at it with a vengeance, and both bent on victory. The Herald boys seemed to have more confidence in their ability, and kept plugging away in a syse tematic manner, ‘Cookic” Jackson, who relieved McAllister, played a cor - sistent game, and held Berry to a lead of one pin. McEvoy continued to shine in the third game, and beat his opponent fifty-four pins, which <et the Herald team on the high road to victory. Captain Edwards also hand- ed Captain Hornkohl a beating in his frame, 90 to 75. The score: Herald. 72 79 83 67 are ours. Daly O’Brien , McEvoy . McAllister .. Jackson ..

St. Louis, Sept. 18.—Boston’s share of the gate receipts for the St. Louis- Boston Nationals double-header here | vesterday was attached by Deputy | Sheriffs. The attachment was the re- sult of a suit for $9,000 filed by the Kansas City association club against the Roston Nationals. The Kanse City club asked in its suit $4,000 al- leged to be due for Player Bash Comp- ton and $5,000 for the non-delivery of two players, Lawrence Gilbert and Richard Crutcher.

EBBESEN, MGR. ! it will be- If the Braves had PORT i The series, or serious, more or less crooshial, now beins unwrapped in Boston for the championship of the American League, is a pretty fair an- SWer as to whether or not baseball in- terest is a thing of the hallowed past. Boston fanatics are abowt as sedate and -conservative a group of folks as any citadel in the lind can ghow— yet they are worked up to a frenzy far greater than anything they knew back in 1912, when tae Red S-x won Boston's/ first pennant in eight years. Tigers vs. Red Sox. Those fanatics who are not inclined to wait for the full returns, but who desire an advance tip on the ultimate American league winner, are invited to make a close inspection of the two leading clubs. After this review they can undersitand why it is that { any prophecy must be in the nature of a rank guess for no two better match- ed machines ever careened side by side through the dust of the stretch. As present conditions stand, we should say that Detroit has a shade the better club, while Boston has the shade better schedule to work upon which, if form 1uns true to the clos- ing game, shouid leave the two main contenders puffing and struggling neck and neck to the last day or two of the race. Odds and Ends of Dope. Oscar Stanage is not to be ranked below the best catcher on the Red Sox club. The Tigers have a slight advantage here. For the greater part of the season the Boston entry had the better of the pitching, but when Jennings added James and Louder- milk he moved his sharpshooting corps upon even terms Wwith those who guard the Red Sox firing line. Dauss, Coveleskie, Dubus, James Lou- dermilk and Bolund are no whit be- low Foster, Ruth, Shore, Shore, Col- lins, Leonard ana Gregg- The two infields are practically up- on a par, Burns Young, Bush and Vitt stand about even with Hoblit- zell, Barry, Scott and Gardner- The two outfields have been com- pared up and down, pro and con. back and forth and around about- They are the best two outfields in the game. But through their greater offensive strength Cobb, Crawford and Veach are somewhat stronger than Speuk- cr, Lewis and Hooper—as excellent as the latter trio are. Good Fighters. Both clubs nre well matched In aggressiveness and gameness, Neither will quit at any stage under fire. Bos- ton, twice, at least, has moved against Detroit at home at critical points of the race and retired with the honors of war. But all through the race, although trailing most of the way, Detroit has hung gamely to a final hope, and has refused to break or slip even when counted out time and again— and when the cdds wete clearly against her- The right spirit grips both clubs, which means tho hardest sort of fighting over the entire route. Two Vital Spots. There are two vital spots in the Tiger schedule which have a mowp than usually important bearing upon Detroit's prospec: of sending Messrs. Cobb and Crawiord against the N. L. winners. The first of these is the Tiger-Red Sox series, now way. The second is the five-game series to be played in Washington. If Detroit can get out of Boston with three victories, there still remains this second obstacle- Griff is making a headlong dive for third place. His Nationals for two weeks or more have been traveling along at a won- derful clip- They have been playing a brand of baseball that no club can beat without a battle all the way. and with Johnson back at a winning clip and several other first class pitch- ers walting their turn, this series will be as hard for Detroit as the Boston engagement is—and Boston at that time will be facing much present under | softer competicion. The Big Switch, Ten days ago Boston looked to lLe safely through in the American league and the main qucstion seemed to be whether or not the Red Sox would meet Phillies, uraves or Dodgers. Now the close finish stuff has been transferred to the younger circuit, with the Phillies practically under the wire. With Jess than twenty gamecs to play, it is almost impossible for the road-wavering Dodgers and the crippled Braves (o cut their through the lead which Pat Moran’s hustlers have packed away by game, constant work. It can be done, but we don’t think been able to move thrcugh September with their full strength and cut out their umpire repartes, their chance would have been even at the worst. The only wonder is that they have made such a fight against such crushing odds. Every portion of the Braves machine, at one time or an- other, has been dislocated and thrown into the shop for repalrs. And at the edge of the stretch, when they still had a chance, despite an unkempt way | LIGHT Grantlend Rice summer of trouble, and woe, addition- al disaster was thrown upon themn. and the odds increased to an almost impossible deg If Brooklyn had been able to show road strength eny¥*here near her home product the. Dodgers today would be a half dozen lengths ahead. But they have lacked the Phillies' ability to. play consistent ball both at home and abroad. MORE YOUNG YANKEES REPORT. New York, Sept. 18.—Dan Tipple, the Indianapolis pitcher, for whom the Yankees paid a big price a few weeks ago, reported to Manager Don- ovan at the Polo grounds. Tipple made a great record at Indianapolis this season, and Scout Joe Kelley thinks he will be successful with the Yankees from the start. Tipple may be used in one of the games of today’s double-header. Outfielder Tim Hend- rix of New Orleans also reported yes- terday. Kelley yesterday signed Har- old Cable of Toledo, formerly with Jackson of the Southern Michigan league, but this season with Bradford in the Interstate league. The contract runs for a year, Cable is twenty- three years old and an infielder. MAMAUX OUT FOR THE SEASON. Al Mamaux, who has made a re- markable record while pitching for the Pirates this season, has been forced to retire from baseball for the rest of the year. He is threatened with appendicitis, in fact has been troubled with it for some time, and the doctors have ordered a complete rest preparatory to performing an operation. He is at his home in Dormant. Mamaux's record this sea- son is twenty games won and seven lost.
