CLAN REGISTERS ITS NINTH STRAIGHT WIN
TOPHUS UNABLE TO STOP
HIGHLANDERS
Locals, "With Gilbert on Hill, Hand Evas Short End of 4-1 Count —McCarty Stars.
Br Ralph H. White.
It doesn't make a whit of difference to the Highlanders whether they are up against tail-enders or top-notchers and just to prove it they Jumped on the leading Evas and handed them the •hort end of a 4 to 1 count in yesterday's combat at Athletic park. The victory was the ninth straight for the clan which is dally edging nearer the top of the heap and was clean cut. "Lefty" Gilbert didn't call on any of his (lingers to humble the chesty dowrstaters, but went to the mound himself. And "papa" Gilbert surely did perform out on the hill. He held the foe to five hits and after tho first inning in which the visitors bunched three blows for their lon-3 tally simply refused to permit any of the Evas to round all buoys. Behind the big chief the Highlanders put up a most sparkling defense and time and asain robbed Eva batsmen of base knocks by sensational plays. Johnny McCarty featured in the field with a double play unassisted besides making a couple of other clever plays. "Speed merchant" Turne- was selected to stop the climb of the clan, but proved pie for the gents who are making history in the Central league. In all. the tall boy was nicked for nine hits, seven of which figured in the run 1 getting. Joe Evers led the attack with three clean blngles, one a double, with
Jack Vann an able pard. The t-ig backstop ripped off a single and double, his extra base Jolt opening the way
stop ripped off a single and dou his
the Initial Ten1® Haute marker. The Highlanders threatened in ''.he first three rounds, but couldn't knot the count until the fourth. The fifth, sixth and seventh sessions were also productive of clan credits and toward the end it was simply a case of how many runs the locals would hang up. A description of the "big" innings can be found among the "Highland Flings."

RECORD LOOKED FOR IN TODAY'S CLASSIC
Oldfield "Squawks" and Cooper Protests, But Other Than That Everything Is lovely.
CHICAGO,- Aug. 7.—\Vithv all of the drivers predicting that a new automobile race record at one hundred miles will be made, Dario Resta, Earl Cooper, Bob Burman and Barney Oldfield were prepared to meet in a match race on the two-mile course of the Speedway Park association this afternoon. The drivers have been practicing, -at the track, for the race all week, and all except Oldfield have their cars primed for record-breaking speed. The latter savs he has not had time to tune his car properly.
A hitch in the arrangements arose, when Cooper protested against Burman's driving a car with a piston displacement of more than 300 cubic inches. The Speedway Park association will attempt to adjust this situation before the start of the contest, which is scheduled to take place at 3 o'clock.
It is claimed that all of the entrants have shown a speed of more ihan 104 miles an hour in pfractice, and the fact that there will be few cars on the track is pointed out as proof that the record of 99.05 miles an hour, made here in the automobile derby, will be beaten. The drlyers will race for a purse of $10,000, and will be sent away to a flying start.
Free-For-AII Pace Passed Up
KALAMAZOO, Mich., Aug. 7.—Clear skies finally smiled over Kalamazoo today for the closing card of the grand circuit harness races.

Besides the Paper Mills classic, horses were to compete in a 2:06 pace, 2:09 pace and 2:21 trot.
There will be no racing here tomorrow, and the free-or-all 'pace, which was expected to be one of the big features of the meeting, has been called off.
NOTRE DAME ATHLETE STARS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.—The discus throw was won by C. W. Bachman, University of Notre Dame, whose hurl was 131 feet inches. This broke the former junior A. A.

first in an effort to catch the runner off the bag. Knoll then sacrificed Tepe to third. Matthews, however, fanned, and Hauser fouled out, Tepe expiring at the far corner. X"
Gilbert MMte the first ball pitched by Turner In the clan's half of the third on a line over short and stole second. O'Day was called out on strikes. McCarty was an Infield out, Gilbert going to third. Gray couldn't deliver, going oat, Tepe to Grefe.
Vann shot a doable to left to start the clan's half of the fourth and advanced to third on Brautlgan's tap over the box, which Tepe grabbed in time to retire "Dutch" at first. Evera then tripled to right, Vann going over with the knotting marker. It wm Joe'mL-' second blow of the fracas. Dell fouled out trying to "squeese" Bvers over. With two strikes'on Thomas, Elvers attempted steal home, but was called out by Umps Slear, although it looked as if Hanser failed to tag Joe.
Johnny McCarty prevented at least one run for the Evas in. the fifth, when, with runner* on first and third and one out, he grabbed Matthews' vicious liner with one hand and doubled Knoll off the keystone sack. The catch waa a wonder.
McCarty also starred In the elan'a half of the fifth, when, with O'Day on second and two out, he punched a slurnn that gave the locals the edge, 2 to 1.
And again did McCarty perform in the first of the sixth. With Grefe on first. Folmar slammed what appeared to be a safe hit over first. Mack, however, leaped high in the air and speared the fast traveling ball, retiring the side.
With Brautigan on first In the last of the sixth, Evers singled to center, his eighth consecutive hit, "Dutch'' stopping at second. Dell forced Evers at second and Brautigan scored when Hanser** wlle throw escaped Tepe.
Gilbert fanned Winkelman and Tepe in the seventh and forced Knoll to foul out to McCarty.
Gilbert walked In the clan's half of the seventh and romped around to tlilrd on O'Day's beautifully placed sacrifice. McCarty was an infield ont, but Gray poled safely to left, Gilbert crossing.
Dell's catch of Matthew's liner in the eighth was a pretty piece of fielding," the newcomer racing in at top speed and spearing the pHl off the grass.
Vann hit at a .500 clip, tearing off a single and double In four times up. With Evers, who exploded three blngles, the backstop shared the hitting honors.
