Coming from behind in the seventh ‘nning and staging a rally that net- ted seven runs the Avants evened up their series with the Nuggets and won the sixth game twelve to ten at the Fairgrounds Tuesday evening be- fore a crowd of about three hundred including a large number of fanettes. The game was one of the best seen in the series so far and was a real battle from start to finish. The Nuggets got away to a big lead scoring six runs in- the second inning and adding two runs the next five innings. It took the Avants six Innings to drive across four runs and when they came to bat in the seventh inning they were trailing the Nuggets by four runs. A batting rally which bunched hits behind errors gave the Avants seven runs and putting them! In the lead. The Nuggets managed to! drfve in two more runs in the remain- Ing three innings while the Avants|Peckham pulling one of his trick slides collected another just to make cer- tain of the game. Big Chie{ Madden was in fine form up to the seyenth inning when the Avants started their attack. The ad- vocate of the theory of “dance and grow thin" received a severe shock when he was asked to remove his speed but was shy on control and walked several men. Slim White, the lanky hurling star of the Avants, af- ter a bad second inning steadied down to business and was never in better form in his long career as a pitcher. Slim, however, retired from the pitch- ing duties in the eighth to-give Ken- Madden on his way to second nedy, a new luminary in the pitching field, a chance to show his smoke. Kennedy had all kinds of smoke but was afraid to let out owing to the darkness and simoplv l.id them over for the Nuggets .u swish at. “Les” Manchester, the Nuggets flashy and “ripping” backstop, broke out into the limelight behind the plate with his imitation of Theda Bara. ‘Les” blushingly took the applause that rocked the stands, and graceful- 1y accepted the gift of a sweater which he wore during the remainder of the game. Another bright light of the game was “Lightning” Peckham who had Ty Cobb looking like a busher with his slides to the bases. There were no two slides allke and the variety of hooks, fade aways, back slides and others too numerous to mention had the fans marveling at his agility and elusiveness. Tex Callahan who has starred continually in previous games was relegated to the outfield and did not have an opportunity to show his usual speed. {‘Hippo" Warwick in center field showed great speed at times but was ‘Les” Manchester, trying to hold one of Harris' fast ones. f Charlie C., George Brown's entry are portly form from the box in favor of|Jisted in the Class C event.

Maine, New Hampshire, Ve mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con- necteiut, New York, New Jersey, Dela- ‘ware, Pennsylvania and Toronto, Cana- da.haye numerous horses represented in the entry and the list of trainers and drivers are all of the best known.men who have been seen on the circuit this year. Among the horses entered in the stake races and late closing classes are many of the east's best trotters and pacers. Some of the Rhode Island horsemen rep- resented in the various events are: John ‘W. Page, Dave D. Warmen, John J. Orr, F. J. Kelly, Henry E. Potter, Dr. John F. McGrath, Charles P.

The liberal treatment has been appre- clated by racing horsemen no doubt, in proof of which the list of 175 nominations in the dozen races attest. Which is an average of nearly 15 horses to a race. Herbgrt M. Atherton, of the racing com- mittee says, “Our good entry for the mid- summer meeting is due to furnish great racing each day and we will have all the good horses to be seen outside the big circuits and many of the horses seen here will campaign at some of the Grand Circuit meetings when the ring™ stables hit the “betless next belt” 2.21 trot leads with 26 entries: 18 trot with 22 en- trot wits 19; the ; the 2.19 pace with ; the 2.14 pace with 14; the 2.17 trot with 13; the 2.14 trot with 11; the 2.24 trot with 10; the three-year-old trot with :0; the 2.11 pact with 3; and the 11 trot with 5.

QUEEN’S CLUB WINS FROM AMERICAN TENNIS STARS London, Aug. 1—The Queens club tennis team today defeated the Am- erican players, from Harvard and Yale six matches to three. All the matches were in doubles. Young Giants Challenge The Young Giants who have won 13 games out of 14 played challenge any team in the state between the age of fourteen to eighteen. For in- formation write to Leo Barr, Plain- field, Conn. A Challenge The Jewett City Orioles would like to challenge the East Ends or the summer. \ The Yankees have won twelve of sixteen games played with the Ath- letics and the White Sox have trim- med Detroit cieven times in fourteen starts. A more cr less disastrous roal trip doesn't szem to affect the Giants. As soon as they land on the Polo grounds they begin to perform like champions until the Pirates meet them. Stengal of the Giants, Hornsby of the Cards, Sisler, the Brown's shining light and the old reliable Tyrus Cobb. are the world's greatest .400.hitters. Pitcher Wilbur Cooper is the “Iron Ma of the National league again this season, the Pirate flinger having twirled twenty-two, ‘games so far this season. Experts are of the opinion that home run clouting will decline, now that a majority of the big league pitchers seem to have caught the step. Ruether has taken the measure of the Boston Braves five times sa for this season. The Indians’ winnin? streak of twelve games was the longest in the majors this season. The Galveston team in the Texas League is laying claim to the world's record for home runs knocked to the four winds in one inning. In a recent contest with Wichita Falls the Gal- veston batsmen found the range the fifth inning and drove out I «rcuit clouts. The old record was three round trips in one inning. Ty Cobb is now in the midst of 2 consecutive batting streak. The great Detroit manager has hit safely in his last fifteen games. It is said that Eddie Roush will never play with the Giants even if the Reds desire to sell him. He is still vexed that John McGraw preferred Benny Kauff on the Giants when the trade with the Reds was under way. It is evident that home run hittere do not make a team. The athlétice have Tilly Walker banging them out and Cy Williams and Cliff Lee have poled out a large assortment betweer them in the interest of the Phillies. Yet both teams are down in the rut Six hundred and two home runs ir the major leagues with two-thirds of the season finished make it appear that the prediction of 1,000 circuit drives for the season will be mads good. The Hopkinsville Kitty league team piloted by Art Wilson, won 16 out of the first 20 fames played. Foort Worth got the jump on the other Texas league teams early in the season and held the lead through the first half. President Mike Cantillon of the Da- kota league complains that Fargo. the largest city in the circuit, has not sup- ported its team. The Giants’ hitting and fielding is nice business, but the pitching staff appears to be badly bent at times. The Pirates still have a toe hold on the pennant ladder and a little ex- tra effort on the part of the Stogie Eaters would land hem in the first division at least. Duke Riley, former well-known American association pastimer, has signed with the Brantford Michigan- Ontario league club. Winning 43 and losing 13 games, the Meridian team romped home a cham- pion in the first half of the Cotton States league season. in Danbury.—Senator McLean presented recently a resolution adopted Brick- by unable to hurl, because of illness, and the visitors hammered Ryan and Jon- nard freely.
