Tramp-a-Bit was the surprise in the 2:11 pace. After finishing sixth in the first two heats Jamison landed him in front for the next three.

New York, August 1.—Evidence of the fact that Manager John McGraw of the Giants is beginning to view with more or less apprehension the dust kicked up by the Cardinals and Reds in their pursuit of his league leade: came to light vesterday. It came in the form of a trade, the conditions of which proved more than a surprise to fans of this city as well as of the en- tire league circuit. Pitcher Al Dem- aree, tormer Giant and later Philly and Cub player. was acquired at the expense of Pete Kilduff, promising young inflelder of the club. The acquisition of Demaree signal- izes the fact that McGraw feels need of additional pitching strength. Since George Smith was sent to Rochester and Jim Middleton shipped back to Loulsville only six veteran flingers re- imflin on hand. The addition of Dem- WITH REGIM ENT OF ENGINEERS i Philadelphia of Engineers. He is a private. the accompanying illustration he shown repairing an automobile.

Only Hans Lobert is now present for erergency duty, excluding George Kelly. who can play first in very good style. In case of an injury to Her- zog Zimmerman will doubtless be shifted to second and Lobert to third. Should Fletcher be put out a whole- sale shift would havs to be made with | Lobert on third, Zimmerman on sec- ond and Herzog at short. CLUBS CALL OFF BOUTS, New York.

Both were hard batting games, the Giants scoring twenty runs during the torrid afternoon. They won by scores of 11 tq 7 and 9 to 3. Young Wilbur Cooper, who recently shut out the Giants on the Polo Grounds in New York, had no such luck in the first game. The Giants pelted him out of the box in the fourth inuning, after he had allowed seven runs. Sallee, the Giant left hander, who opposed Cooper, was drubbed equally hard and gave way to Tesreau in the third. The Pirates also hit Jeff pretty hard, but they couldn’t score runs on him the way they did on Ballee. Jacobs succeeded Cooper for Pittsburgh and was little improve- ment over the left hander. In the second game Schupp tried conclusions with young Burleigh Grimes, and Ferdic was enabled to take things easy, as the Giants soon acquired a safe lead for him. He per- mitted only five hits. The Giants made twenty-nine hits in the two games and the Pirates twenty. Burns, Kauff, Wilhoit, Bigbee and Carey each made five hit: The scores: First Game 202207200—11 13-0 Pittsourgh 203100001—7 15 1 Sallee, Tesreau and Rariden; Coop- er, Jacobs and Wagner and Fischer.

Matty’'s men were outplayed in all departments of the YANKS MAKE RUNS BEHIND CALDWELL Only a Quar{ét, But It Is Enougl* to Beat Browns New York, August 1.—The §t. Louls Browns spent the afternoon at the¢ Polo Grounds yesterday at their usual. occupation of being defeated. The Yanks were not severe with them and were satisfled with a 4 to 1 score. The fact that the Browhs are in the city has now become generally known, sc that many fclks who would ordinar. ily have gone to the ball game went to the beach for a swim. No one loves a fat man or a tailender. Strange to say, the Yankees at last decided to score a few runs wheg Ray Caldwell was pitching. Usually when Ray pitches the Yanks limit their run ambition to one cr two. For a while yesterday it looked as if Ray would have to be content with one cqunter »n his side, but when the Yankees realized that they were play- ing the Browns and weighed the hu- miliation wvhich would naturally fol. low if they were defeated, they | spruced up and kot a few more rung The score: St. Louis ....... 000010000—1 7 @ New York 10003000x—4 6 1 Davenport, Wright and Severeid; Caldwell and Walters.
