INDIANS RELINQUISH AMERICAN LEAGUE LEAD TO YANKS—PIRATES ARE HANDED DOUBLE LACING BY GIANTS—WILLIAMS AND WASHBURN FORCED TO LIMIT IN TENNIS MATCH AT LONGWOOD—ST. MARY’S GIRLS’ TEAM SWAMP G. FOX NINE—TENDLER AND FRIEDMAN BATTLE TO A DRAW AT PHILLY SURPRISE PARTY ' TENDERED PIRATES It's in the form —oi a double Defeat New York, Aug. 25. — Tho Pitts- burgh Pirates may be the coming champions of the National league, but they certalnly met their masters yes- terday at the Polo Grounds. The Giants, on the other hand, may roll over at the bidding of children from St. Louis and points east, but they stand very little nonsense from full- grown Pirates. The marine outlaws encountered the Giants in a pair of games yesterday, and the invaders were repelled with heavy loss in each section of the barsain bill. The scores were 10 to 2 and 7 to 0. It has been often remarked in the hearing of about everybody lately that the Giants weren't getting any pitch- ing. Well, they aren't—but they did Observe in passing the grade of work- manship exhibited yesterday by Messrs. Arthur Nehf and Phil Douglas. Fach of these hurlers granted the league leaders the meagre allowance of five hits in nine innings. The score: o L FIRST GAME. PITTSBURGH (N.) Maranville, Bigbee, 1f. Carey, cf. .. Barnhardt, 3b.

Brooklyn, Aug. 25.—Uncle Robbie has lost his smile, Uncle Robbie the rotund manager of the Brooklyn Rob- ins, who until recently was one of the most jovial men identified with baseball, is fit to be tied. And all be- cause his nephews—otherwise known as the Dodgeri and other aliases— dropped out of the first division in the National league jamboree yesterday. It was the first game of the series be- tween the Superbas—one of the other of Brooklyn's aliases—and the Chi- cago Cubs that caused the tail-spin earthwaid of the Flatbush tribe. The Cubs ordinarily are friendly enough, but yesterday they were nasty. They mauled some of Robbie's pitching talent all over the 1lot and finally wound up the proceedings with the game tucked safely away by a 6 to 1 count, which is decisive enough to suit anybody, even a Brooklynite.

The St. Mary’'s girls team won an- other victory in the state league series yesterday afternoon, downi the G. Fox girls team at Exposition Park, East Hartford, 25 to 10. Things looked mighty blue to the rooters of the locals, when the Hartford team piled up eight runs in the initial in- ning. After St. Mary's girls ot started there was little to it. The third and fourth innings was pro- ductive of 19 runs for the locals. The winners pounded the ball for 29 hits, including a triple by Alice Schenck and a double by Hazel Sullivan. For Hartford Miss Levack featured. The score: St. Mary’s 15811 0—25 29 G. Fox 802 00—10 13 Batteries: McCue and Lambert; Levack and Biguness.

Kenney and Begley worked game No. 1 and Kenney and Camp- bell game No. 2 for the losers. — THESE PEOPLE JusT STUFF THEMSELVES WITHOUT GIVING ME A THOUGHT.

WALTZ BOXES TONIGHT Hartford Featherweight Stacks Up Against a Tough Opponent in Hutch- inson in 12-round Dccision Bout. Sammy Waltz, of Hartford, will be given the acid test in the ring at the Auditorium in the Capitol City, when he faces'Hughie Hutchinson, of Phila- delphia, Eddie Mead's star feather- weight. Recent reverses sustained by Waltz caused him to train like he never has before for tonight's mill, and training camp reports have him in excellent condition. In Hutchin- son, he meets a boy who is making great strides toward the top of the rung. The Scot boxed Andy Chaney at Hartford last spring. and the show- ing he made was a surprise to many, it being figured that he would prove easy for the Baltimore battler. To- night's fray is over the 12-round dis- tance, and to a decision. The semi-final will be between Ralph Sullivan, a sparring partner of Hutch- inson, and Young Mack of Hartford. The New Yorker is said to be a top notch boy, and should polish off Mack, if he is as good as touted. Eddie Con- nors and Jimmy Shea, both of Hart- ford, will meet in the curtain raiser. The Charter Oak club, Inc., formerly the Liberty A. U., is at the helm to- night. This club has the reputation of putting on high class shows. George Gamerdinger will referee, Ollie Hyde will time and Hugh Rorty will be the announcer. The show will start at 8 o'clock daylight saving time. WE HEAR FROM MAC. “P. J.” Cancels Game With Hartford Team to Get Crack at St. Mary’s Team Sunday. Manager Huggins of the Yanks, Manager Speaker of the Indians and Manager Gibson of the Pirates, are Lusy men these days, keeping their teams in tre running for the pennant in the American and National leagues. Eut they have nothing on Manager Meclnerney, (P. J. Mac) of the cel- ebrated Beave Using a common slang phrase, “That kid is sure the berries” when it comes to piloting the destiny of a baseball club, Mac arranged a game with the Pioneers A. C. of Wartford, and then there came along the avrangements clinch- ing a series with the St. Mary's school team. Ncw Mac ce'lainly likes to deteat teams frcm cut of town, but with a broiherly feel ng for his play- ers, he has cancelled the game with the Hartford team for next Sunday, in order that nothing would stand in the way of getting another crack at the local school team. So the con- test will be staged at St. Mary's field next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Once again Manager Mac assures us that he has booked a “corking” game for Labor Day. AT KRAMER FIRST 5 ML Wins Championship Ract At Velo- drome—Tics With Eaton for Title. Newark, N. J., Aug. created for the bic of America when nk Kramer won the five-mile championship race at the Velodrome here last night before a record-breaking crowd of 16.000 Ray Eaton was second and V Spencer third. Spencer, the cham- pion of last year, dropped out after going one mile and four laps the pace proving too hot for him. By finishing first, Krawer increased his standing to 30 points, tying Eaton, who gathered 3 point for second place. This will necessitate the ing of another race to decide championship Kramer rode last eighth mile 25.—A tie was le championship rid- the the in the remarkable fast time of 11 4-5 seconds.
