There is some doubt as to the winner of the game and though the St. John team claims victory, the game will probably be played over. Miskis and Brainerd were the battery for St. John's and Jahn and Noonan labored for St.i Andrew’s. On Sunday the Lion Cubs of Middletown failed to put in an ap- pearance and the umpire forfeited the game to the team representing St. John's. MGVEY OUTPOINTS JOHNSON.

GLEASON, VETERAN SECOND SACKER, A GREAT AID TO CHICAGO WHITE SOX Chicago, Aug. 9.—In the Chicago ‘White Sox beat out the Boston Red Sox for the American league pennant, and the chances seem to favor the westerners at this time, much of the credit will be due to Kid Gleason, the of pitchers, and his manager always veteran second baseman. - Gleason has been acting as coach and chief adviset to Manager Clarence Row- season, and many attribute the excellent showing of the club to the skillful manner in which he has brought his pitchers round and the fine physical condition of all the men. The old veteran is an excellent judge listens to him before selecting a twir- er for the day or before lifting one who is being hard hit from the box. There has been only one disappoint- ment with the Chicago club this sea- son Joe Jackson and Eddie Collins, heretofore rivals of Cobb and Speak- er for batting honors, hive slumped. Both of these playe are usually good for a season avirage of .340 or .350, and both of them re slumped CINGINNATI GOES INTO THIRD PLACE Confers Double Beating on St. Louis Cards in Hopville *° St. Louis, Aug. 13.—Cincinnati twice defeated St. Louis yesterday, 7 to 0 and 7 to 6, and moved into third place in the pennant ra Toney shut out St. Louis in the first game.

CHICAGO'S GRIP ON -LEAD 1S SLIPPING White Sox Pace Threatened by Poor Showing of Week New York, Aug. 13.—Chicago in the American league is meeting diffi- culties in holding on to first place, while New York in the National has brought to a close its victorious trip through the West. The White Sox, winning only one game out of six the last week, saw their lead cut down to virtually noth- ing. Yesterday they gained slightly on Boston by defeating Cleveland, 4 to 3, in thirteen innings. The Giants, by taking five out of six games, increased their lead still further, and, unless some of the first division teams show greatly improved form, Labor Day or shortly thereaf- ter may see McGraw’s club with the 1917 National league pennant vir- tually assured. For a league-leading team Chicago played poorly in its games against Philadelphia and Washington, secona division clubs. Monday’s and Tues- day’s games were lost to Philadelphia, the first after eleven innings, Against Washington in four games the White Sox could make only five runs and fifteen hits, and they won but one game. Two hits were the re- sult of Chicago’s batting in Friday's and Saturday’s games. In contrast to Chicago's poor work, Boston and Cleveland improved their play, and gained on the leaders. The Red Sox broke even in two games with Cleveland and then won four of five from Detroit. Cleveland traded third place back and forth with De- troit early in the week, but by win- ning four out of five from New York gained a fair lead over the trouble- some Tigers. New York and Detroit fell slight through their poor work in their respective series against Cleve- lund and Boston. Returning home yesterday, the Tigers beat St. Louis and gained on Cleveland, which was defeated by Chicago. In the National St. Louis falled to stop New York after the league lead- ers had taken three out of four in the series with Cincinnati. Threa times in succession St. Louis fell be- fore the Giants, but on Saturday the Giants met thelr only defeat of the week at the hands of Goodwin, a re- cruit pitcher. New York did not lose a series on the trip concluded Sat- back tone victory over New York, the St. | Louis team won two out of three from : Brooklyn. Cincinnati continued in the scoring power of a slump, Mathewson's club having weakened greatly against i l the Eastern clubs. { In a double-header with St. Louis yesterday Cincinnati won both games and went into third place ahead of the Cardinals. Chicago and Brooklyn battled hard for possession of fifth place the last of the week, and the Cubs, through eleven-inning victories on both Fri- day and Saturday, gained the leader- ship of the second division. YANKEES 12, ORIOLES 5. New York Americans Play in Exhibi- tion at Baltimore. Baltimore, Aug. 13.-——With even Slim Love batting out homers the Yankees had no difficulty in defe:ltin’: the Orioles yesterday afternoon at the Gentlemen’s Driving park before 6,000 persons by the score of 12 to 5. The Orioles succeeded in getting 15 hits off Love and Monroe, while Tipple and McClellan were touched up 14 by the visitors. Slim Love held the locals scoreless in the five innings that he adorned the box, and only six hits were madc off his delivery.
