With only one out and men on second and third things looked rosy but Daust tightened up and team | 1 struck the next two batters out. Most of the credit of winning the game must go to Dax for he pitched superior ball and haq his opponents at his mercy during the entire game. He worked fine in the pinches and had very good control. Berger, a former leaguer, caught a fine game and his hitting and head-work behind the bat ‘counted much in yesterday victory. ) The infield showed up considerably better than last Sunday, and were fair- ly alive with pep. laid up this week, but in all probability wil be in shape for next Sunday. Kel- iher in left field came in for much applause by his fine work and timely hitting.

CHEVROLET SET NEW WORLD'S RECORD FOR 100 MILES Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 1 — Gaston Chevrolet set a new world's record for 100 miles when he covered the ‘century without FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SATURDAY'S MARKET. New York, July 31.—Price movements on the stock exchange today were nar- row and the volume of trading small. The tone was one of undenying firmness, but the inquiry was and trading kept within the usual s of a Satur- day in mid-summer. Transactions amounted to 174,000 shares. The best evidence of an upward tem- dency developed among the railroad is- sues, in which during the last hour there was - exhibition of quiet strength. The recen. movements of industrials tended to restrict the demand in this section of the market, and some of these issues there was an easing off in quotations. Dealings in bonds were mnominal and without material changes among the leading foreign or domestic issues. Total values (par value) § 0.000. Old U. S bonds were unchanged on call for the week. The foreign changes were bid up with relative brickness. Sterling effect- & rebound of more than 2 cent from yes- terGdy and rates on France and Italy also moved up, aithough somewhat less readily. The clearing house statement revealed an actual deficit below legal require- ments, as was the case last week. Actual loans and discounts decreased more than $20,000,000. There was an incréase of $9.586,000 in demand deoesits, and the dctual deficit was $5.08(.000, as com- parefl with $4,276,000 last week. Slowly reviving busiress activity was forecast in the weekly trade reviews. although transportation difficulties and the credit situation etill operate as aandicaps. An increase in business fail- ares in the current week is noted. STOCKS, i High. £ » ¥ ELELEH w 3 138y EEEEEEREE §g57 Y Central . F N H & H West 9 Piere ) Plerce !

DGERS LEAD IN NATIONAL WHILE INDIANS RETAIN LEAD ew York, Aug. 1—The games in the National league during the last week brought the teams more closely bunch- ed, the standing tonight showing the !first and last teams separated by only 162 points. Brooklyn continues to set the pace, but the Robins' lead was cut down in the series with Cincinnati, the atter winning three of four games. A victory by Cincinnati over New i York in the first of their series Sat- urday put the Reds on even terms with Brooklyn, but today Brooklyn defeat- led St. Louis and again took the lead {as the Giants beat out the Reds. } McGraw's team made the mo: pressive record in the league during the week, having an unbroken string of {victories until the world's champions | were encountered. Pittsburgh is giv- ling the Giants a battle for third pplice, |while Chicago is not far behind the | pair. Boston and Philadelphia bring {up the rear of the second division.

The result of the latter game, however, puts Chicago within two points of the Yankees. Chicago continueq its steady work dui ing the week, while Washington and St. Louis are fighting for fourth place. he Boston Red Sox fell behind dur- ing the week and Detroit and Philadel- phia continued at their usual gait.
