St. Louis, Aug. : NATIONAL F .—In one of the best pitched games seen in St. Louis this season, the Cardinals, by grace of a ninth inning rally, shut out the ehampion Dodgers by a score of 1 to 0. The victory gave Miller Huggins’ licontenders an edge of three games to lone in the series to date. ‘The contest from the very start was A pitching duel between Larry Cheney and Mule Watson. While the latter was victorious, he did not outpitch the champions. Had the Dodgers wvailed themselves of opportunity so well as did the locals, Cheney might have had a commanding lead by the time the battle swung into the last round. On any one of several occasions a well placed bunt might have saved Brooklyn’ scalp. The team eschewed “safety first” policies and strung along with the hit and run.

Portland, Aug. 7.—Lawrene was an easy victim for the Portland boys here vesterday, 11-3. Portland’s hitting was as strong as the flelding of Law- rence was weak.

Columbus, O., Aug. 7.—Peter Point- er, on which the hopples were put a week ago and turned over to W. L. Snow to drive yesterday by E. F. Geers, his agent, because of Geer's aversion to piloting a hoppled pacer, won the $3,000 Elks’ Home Stake for 2.05 eligibles after a six-heat battle in which early favorites were beaten one after another, and only Peter Pointer and Walter Cochato were left for the final duel. Walter Cochato twice paced 2.02%, winning heats in staving off The Sav- oy, but a break n the fourth heat gave Peter Pointer his chance to land. He was fresher and took the fifth and sixth heats easily. Valentine, Gray and McMahon, driv- ers, were fined $25 each at the end of the first mile for rot trying to win. The Woodman took the 2.09 trot af- ter making a break and finishing fourth in the first mile. He took 2 new record of 2.06% in the second heat. ‘The Ohio colt trot for two-year-olds owned in Ohio on April 2 of this vear was a neat little tiit between Ramco, the winner, and Elewen Black of the Pastime Stables. Ramco came through in the stretch each heat and out- trotted his rivals. The time of the second mile—2:127;—was the fastest mile for the two-year-old trotters this season. Ramco is owned by Wilbur Myers of fiprin’fleld 0.

Cincinnati, Aug. 7.—A heavy thun- der storm quickly drenched Redland field and drove the Giants and Matty’s Reds to cover here yesterday after- noon. The rain descended at the be- ginning of the second inning, with the New York team leading by a scare of 2 to 1. Pol Perritt and big Pete Schneider were the opposing pitchers. In the first infning Herzog singled and scored when Bennie Kauff hit for three bases. The little outfielder crossed the plate on Zimmerman's safe hit. With the Giants at the bat !in the second inning the rain started, and after waiting twenty minutes Bill | Byron called the struggle off. It was announced here last night that Ernie | Kruegger, the young catcher, had been claimed by the Broaklyn club. This probably means that either Chief ) Meyers or Otto Miller will be turned loose shortly by the Robins. AND THE WIFE TRIES ON LADY -TewLsS You T COST ‘ngs OH H-H-H- BA — 8BY!

Ryan to COLT RUN UP T0 §6,200 AT SARATOGA [Jack Hare, Jr., Had Been En- tered to Be Sold for $3,000 Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Aug. 7. One of the most sensational run-ups of the season came after the running of the Troy Selling Stakes for two- year-olds here yesterday afternoon. The race was the feature card of the day and was won by H. E. Apple- gate's Jack Hare, Jr., a colt that had been ably earning his way in Kentucky, Canada and later in New York. Jack Hare, Jr., was entered to be sold for $3,000, and W. H. Baker! with raises of $100 with each bid, carried him to $6,200 before he was through. Frank Weir bid the $6,205 necessary to retain the colt. The race run by Jack Hgre Jr. would suggest that Baker was not far out of the way in his estimate of his value. The field was a good one, but Jack Hare jumped to the front and only breezed all the way to wh) with ridiculous ease. The best race of the afternoon was the Glens Falls Higeweight Handi- cap, and it brought a big fleld to the post. It went to Richard T. Wil- son’s imported sprinter Corn Tassel after a wonderfully game finish. Ho was just up, by a dash through on rail, to beat James Butler's High Noon, the one that cut out all the® running. Tom McTaggart was a close third, and it was one of the most ex- citing finishes of the afternoon. Pan Zareta, the sprinting marvel from the West, was asked to take up 142 pounds, and this, coupled with the fact that the race was over the full six furlongs, gave her scant chance. She showed some speed, but could never find her way to the front. Two accidents came out of the rund ning of the other two-year-old race of the day when Morton L. Schwarts's Approval was knocked down shortly after the break and A. K. Macomber’s Night Wind was put on the fence. J. ‘Williams, who had the mount on Ap- proval, escaped with a shaking up while Buxton, on Night Wind, had his leg badly bruised. t This race went to Guesswork, filly that John E.

McDonald is none too well pleased with the attitude followed by the Irish club, and he believes that he will be better in another organizatiod. This | holds true, too, with Ryan. He feels that when Lawson Robertson left to go to the University of Pennsylvania the club should have engaged a new coach, and its failure to do so has con- vinced him that they can have more opportunity for competition if they join anather outfit. Joe Higgins, the middle distance champion, who joined the club in the spring, is the only star athlete whose loyalty to the Wing Fist has not been shaken.

Both teams are deter- mined to keep their records unsul- lied so it is expected that Wednes- day’s game will be a hummer.

Lack of interest on the part of the public caused the Fort Dodge team to withdraw yesterday, and it was judged impossible to trans- fer the players to another city. Cedar Rapids withdrew last week. SPAIN FINANCIALLY SOUND. Madrid, Aug. 7.—Epoca expresses satisfaction at the bank of Spain’s re- turns up to August 4, the gold Teserve showing 1,717,000,000 pesetas, of ! which 56,000,000 was received last | week and 27,000,000 the preceding week.

There was a form reversal durink the afternoon that may lead to an investigation by the stewards, when J. B. Goodman's Eulogy easily won the Schenectady Handicap of one mile. In her race on Saturday Eulogy, with Connolly up, was taken wide all the way and was disgracefully beaten. Connolly rode again yssterday after- noon but he rode o different race. He sent Eulogy to the front in the first furlong and sent her along ‘n that position all the way to win puli- 'ing up by a iide margin over Alde- ! baran and Sasin. | WALTZ AND MACK TO COLLIDE IN MERIDEN Johrmic Drummie and Young Oscar Gardner Furnish Other Half of Well-Balanced Bill. Boxing fans of this eity are consid- erably intcrested in the boxing show now being staged by the Lenox A. C. of Meriden in Thursday evening, | in which Young Mack of Meriden will meet Sammy Waltz of Hartford at { 128 pounds and Young Oscar Gard- ner of Cleveland will box Johnnie ! Drummie of Waterbury at 135 pounds. Both affairs are being advertised as’ ! star bouts. The first will go 12 rounds , and the second 10. In a six round preliminary event Jimmy Welton of Meriden will meet Young Russell of New York. Followers of the fistic game in this city are well acquainted with Sammy Waltz and are equally as well aware that he is promised a tough customer in Young Mack. The Meriden boy in his entire career has suffered but one defeat and that only by a narrow margin to Charlie Bergen of New Haven. Mack has won most of his bouts through a knockout and it i3 in this manner that he hopes to dis- pose of the Hartford favorite. For a long time an attempt has been made to match the pair and finailly when Waltz consented to give a few pounds in weight the go was clinched by the Lenox. In the other star bout there is bound to be considerable excitement. Johnnie Drummie in his late draw bout with he is capable of meeting the best of * them and he surely meets one of that class when he stacks up againet Young, Oscar Gardner. In prepara- tion for the mill Drummie has been training most faithfully, fully aware that he is up against one of the roughest propositions of this career. The preliminary event is also awakening more than ordinary inter- est. Jimmy Welton, like his towns-! man Young Mack, has suffered but one defeat in two years and that was to Young Russell, the boy whom/he meets on this card. Dave Fitzgerald will act as referee and Hugh Rorty as announcer. The show will start at 8:15 and will ba lheld rain or shine. Chic Brown proved that * Samuel Willets, and her race was an
