O’Dowd is boasting about a little get-to he had in the gym with Mike Gibbons out in the home town. There were no brass bands or spotlights.

M;RY'S Besides the athletic meet at St. Mary's fleld tomorrow afternoon there will be a number of ball games played. In the City league the Kam- els will oppose the Pioneers at 2 and playground was closely contested as the score 12-11 shows. 8t. Mary's boys ‘got the 12 points. A crowd tfoughly estimated at 1,200. people witnessed the several events and en- joyed the band concert given at the field simultaneously with the track meet by the Philharmonic band. The crowd , seemed to-appreciate the ef- forts of the boys and was generous in applause. The lights, under which the meet was held, were set upon the clubhouse and threw a powerful glare across the field, so that né one had much difficulty seeing the con- téstants. It was a pretty sight to see the runners skimming down the track in the limelight with the dark form of the crowd on either side of the track. The meet was-not completed and will be finished Saturday after- noon. : St. Mary’s scored. the 12 points not through the brillance of individuals but the efforts of a well balanced team. St. Joseph’'s team was led by “‘Chief”” Myers, the former Exeter star, who showed the boys on both teams the way to leap and put the shot. Myers secured 10 of St. Jo- seph’s 11 points, winning two firste, The nearest man to Myers was Dillon, the all round star of St. Mary’s play- ground, who scored 4 points. Myers won the shotput with a toss of 39 feet 1 1-2 inches and the running broad jump with a leap of 19 feet, 10 1-4 inches. The first events that were run off were the first and second heats of the 100 yards dash. Both of these heats were spectacular races. Dillon of St. Mary's and Faulkner of St. Joseph’s darted away at the pistol shot. Dillon seemed to get the bet- ter start but Faulkner gained slowly and the men were even at the 80 yard mark where Dillon lost form and the St. Joseph’s man broke the string almost 2 yards in front of his rival doing the 100 in 11 seconds. The second heat was done in the same fast time. Maher just nosed out his teammate Kiniry in this heat. Myers won the shotput somewhat easily with Maher second at 37 feet 4 1-2 inches and Dillon third with a put of 31 feet 5 inches. In the standing broad jump relay St. Mary's teamwork came into play and the home boys jumped a total of 35 feet 4 inches with St. Joseph’s golng 31.11 inches. The victory in this relay raised St. Mary’s score 5 points so that they led at this juncture 9-5. Then Myers in the next event, the running broad jump scored another first and Dillon made second with a jump of 19 feet 8 3-4 inches. Faulkner was third with a jump of 18 feet 6 1-4 inches to the Pirates and the Annex will play 8t 4. There will also be two games/ in the Catholic church league. St. Mary’s will meet St. John's nine at 2 and the Sacred Heart team will battle with the St. Andrew’'s boys at 4. The state pldyground ball team will be in Waterbury prepared to win another game from the Waterbury his credit. The final heat of the 100 yard dash war scheduled to come off but the starting pistol falled t6 work and the event was postponed until Saturday afternoon when the final leg of the competition will be run off. The same judges will officiate.

New York, Aug. 17.—The Giants got off on the right foot in their last long home stand against the Western clubs, when they entertained the Cardinals at the Polo Grounds yestex- day afternoon. Behind pretty fair pitching by Slim Sallee the pacemak- ers showed the class of ball that has carried them so far out in front of the pack, and won the opening con- test of the series in rather easy fashion. The score was 5 to 3. This was the tenth straight victory for the veteran southpaw of the Giants, The game was scarcely so exciting as those of the recent series with the Dodgers. From an artistic stand- point ruin and desolation hit Willie Doak and his Mound City cast in the third inning, and hit them so hard as to make a lop-sided score. Sheriff Sallee did not have to ex- tand himself at any time thereafter save in the eighth whén the Cards filled the bases with two down. Only two of St. Louis’ runs ‘were earned. These came on clean hitting. One was a gift by Benny Kauff. But Benny should not be held up to censure. But for his strong armed throw, which sent a runner from fifst to third and put him in a position to score on a long fly there would not have been the excitement there was later on when the visitors had the tie- ing run on first with only one gone. Benny more than made up for his one mistake. He made a number of brilliant catches of hard-hit line drives and boosted his pretentious batting averages with two clean sin- gles in four times at bat. A week or two more, at the pace he has shown for the last fortnight, would iput the little center fielder out in he lead for National League batting honors. Kauff applied his singles where they counted. He converted both into runs and drove home an- other with his second blow. Kauff, Zimmerman and Fletcher— the latter recovered from his recent spike wound at the foot of Casey Stengel—furnished the backbone of New York's crushing attack. ‘This trio produced seven of the home team's eleven hits and carried over three of the five runs. ‘The score: P he: 100010001—3 9 1 ...10300100x—5 11 3 Bafteries: Doak and Gonzales! BSallee and Gibson. Phillies Ring Up Twice. Philadelphia, Penn., s Aug. 17.— Philadelphia won two games from Pittsburg, the scores being 5 to 3 and,| 3 to 0. A home run by Bancroft with two men on the bases in the third inning, following the scoring of one run in that session, gave the home team the victory in the first game. In the second contest, Philadelphia bunched hits in two innings with run- getting effect. Bancroft and Whitted made - wonderful flélding plays in both contests.

Pittsburgh Cincinnati Comes to Life. New York, Aug. 17.—The Brook- lyn Dodgers returned to their bail- wick in Flatbush yesterday in com- pany with the hoodoo that pursued them through’the Western trip. The Cincinnati Reds in the open- ing game of a series defeated the minions of Charley Ebbets by a score of 4 to 3. 4 Matty's men pulled out the. victory with a ninth inning rally, clustering three hits for the winning advan- tage. Fred Toney, who has improved considerably through Christy Mathew- son’s tutelage, was on the firing line for the visitors and was in rare form. He had several spells of unstead- iness, but recovered himself when se- rious danger threatened. The victory of Toney boosted his total so far this season to twenty-one games, his fine | work recently being rewarded with a $1,000 bonus. Toney &allowed the Dodgers only eight hits. ) The Reds’ wideawake policy gives promise of repeating their success against the Dodgers which was ex- perienced on the Mst visit here. On that occasion Robinson's men went down to four straight defeats, and the Cincinnatt players are keen to duplicate this performance.

Cleveland, Aug. 17.—The three- year-old trotting stake furnished the thrill in yesterday’s Grand Circuit meeting at North Randall, Mich. Ber- tha Dillon, the favorite, broke badly in the first heat, but won the second, and in the third was trotted off her feet by Harvest Gale, who captured the first and also the final heat, tak- ing first money. The 2:11 trot also furnished con- siderable excitement, as Early Dreams won in straight heats, Busy's Lassie, the favorite, not even being within the money, The 2:15 pace was a hot battle be- tween Butte Hale and Dan Hedge- wood, thé former, however, winning in straight heats. BURNS BIG STAR. The Burritt school playground team led by “Bill” Burns, the former Vine street star, walloped the Bartlett school team yesterday at the Burritt grounds, 16-2. In the first inning Burns hit the hardest and longest hit of the season far into right fleld and immediately the Bartlett nine went up in the air and the Burritt boys got 8 runs in that inning. Burns got a total of 5 hits himself and pitched a strong game ietting the Bartlett boys down with one hit. The East street school defeated the Smfth at the East street grounds 7-3. In a ninth inning rally the Smith got all their runs. Bloom played well for the Smith and Griffin starred for the East. —_— Buy an Indiana truck.—advt.
