AUTO DAY CELEBRATED BY Nil
dan Cavorts At Stogies' Expense, Winning 10 to 5—J. E. Tennis Wins Auto.
By Ralph H. White.
J- In the presence of one supremely happy being, and some 1,500 odd disappointed ones, the Highlanders defeated
Wheeling in the first game of the final series of the season, cut at the yard yesterday afternoon, by a' score of 10 to 5. The happy guy, J. E. Tennis, of 317 South Fourth street, was the lucky one in the Overland auto contest, he holding the corresponding rain check to the thirteenth coupon drawn out of the barrel by Colonel Bill Penn, with a bunch of newspaper men as judges. When the thirteenth number was announced by ex-Central League Umpire Otto Jensen, Tennis sprang to the front In a Jiffy and claimed the machine, while some 1,500 others sat back in their seats, peeved, at Dame Fori' tune, who had smiled EO lavishly on the lucky gent. .f Now for the game itself. One Wllllam Cramer was pitted against the
Stogies. He lasted four Innings and a fraction, our sorrel top friend, "Red" Ainsworth, taking his place on the hill. The "sunbeam" put- a blanket on the Visitors' chances, but did ease up in i the ninth, when the Stogies put over i,one run. "Buzz" Wetzel, southpaw veteran of the circuit, was sent against the clan. His usual line was evidently not at his command, and he was hammered all over the lot. In all, fifteen hits were chalked up by Gilbert's gang, against fourteen by the enemy.
And spteaklng of base knocks, we 'V: take the privilege to state that one of our future "Beans," Mr. Joe Mathes, cracked a home run over the cherojf cola sign, a truly tremendous slam.
Smokes Kick Fixe Chance*.
•v The Stogies found it hard going, afield, booting five chances, more than one of which were costly. v The foe put over a run right oft the reel, only to have our boys come back in their, half with twice as many. The 5 third was a blank, but in the first half £of the fourth, Cramer was driven to the dugout, when the Stogies regiitered two runs, taking the lead. This state of affairs, however, lasted only -until the Highlanders performed in -their half of the inning, when three markers were chalked up.
With Ainsworth on the job, there was nothing doing for the Stogies in the fifth, but the clan tucked one on their total. They repeated in the seventh, and in the eighth tallied twice, bringing their total up to ten.
As above mentioned, the Smokes got one in the ninth. By virtue of the triumph, the third straight, the Highlanders are, today, one game above the old .500 mark, and slugging the sphere savagely. There Is still a chance to cop, so have at 'em, you Highlanders!
How they did it: Highlanders. First Inning—With one down, Mitchell walked and Spencer singled. The two negotiated a double steal, Mitchell scoring when Blackwell threw wide to third. Spencer, stole third and Holderman walked. A "squeeze" by Gygll put Spencer over. "Second inning—Mathes poled the ball over the left center field fence for a homer.
Fourth inning—La Ross and Shafer connected and Ainsworth'sacrificed his mates ahead. Mathes was purposely passed, filling the bases. Mitchell was retired, La Ross counting, and Shafer and Mathes registered on Spencer's slam to left.
Fifth inning—Gray hit and took second on passed ball. La Ross singled and "Dolly" went over when Lear threw wide to the plate.
Seventh inning—Gygli tripled In the eighth, and Gray put him across with
Eighth inning—Mitchell hit, and

When not on the Job as Highlander secretary, Ralph Ferguson often indulges In the-pocket billiard pastime, in fact is quite proficient at the art. He thought eo himself until the other night when a stranger stro.lled in and expressed himself as anxious to play a social game. Naturally, "Fergle" woft the first game hands down and promptly sought a bet. Well, when It was over Ralphle had to borrow car fare. We thought you knew better than to tackle a stranger, "Fergie!"
"Kootsle" Lammeri, former Rose Poly football star, will likely referee several of the Important hlgrh school Karnes In this section this fall. "Koot*ie" Is now stationed at Brazil. He knows the game from both the player and official standpoint, and should be a most successful referee or umpire.
The seat sale at the Hipp would likely drop off to beafc the band if Umps Dearmand was here for a long spell. The Indicator handler now on
completed the circuit on Holderman'a three-bagger. A bad peg by Blackwell allowed Holderman to tally.
Stogies.
First Inning—Altenberg singled, and moved down on Scheeren's sacrifice. King was retired, but Callahan swatted safely to left, Altenberg scoring.
Second inning-r-Lear walked, but was forced at second by Blackwell. Wetzel doubled, and Blackwell went home when Spencer bobbled Wetzel's blow.
Fourth inning—Rellly singled, and Lear sacrificed. Blackwell doubled, Reilly counting. Wetzel struck out, but Altenberg biffed to center, Blackwell chalking up. This brought Ainsworth to the front.
Ninth Inning—Callahan singled, and Rellly strolled, the former scoring on Lear's drive.

'Matty" To Face Brown
for Last Time On Slab
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.—That Mordecai Brown and Christy Mathewson will engage in just one more pitching battle, for old times' sake was assured yesterday when President Weeghman of the Cuba received a telegram from Matty declaring he positively would go to the slab and pitch against Brown in one- of the games or the double header at Weeghman park on Monday afternoon. Matty also added that he thought it would be the last game he ever would pitch, as he didn't intend to take an active part in baseball any longer, but would manage the Cincinnati Reds from the bench and coaching lines only.
Brown was not taken to St. Louis with the Cubs, but was left here to have plenty of rest before tackling his old time rival in their final diamond duel. Brown, however, expects to pitch for some time yet.
During the career of Brown with the old champion Cubs and Matty with the Giants, this pair met in famous duels more than thirty times. Brown thinks it was thirty-one times, of which he won seventeen and Matty won fourteen.
