i- . Tuesday’s Results. National League. New York 10 Chicago 4 Pittsburg 3 Philadelphia 2 Boston 7 St. Louis 6 Cincinnati 5 Brooklyn 4 American .League. Chicago 6 Boston 5 St. Louis 5 New York 1 Detroit 7 Philadelphia 6 Cleveland-Washigton—Rain. Christy Mathewson, veteran of the Giants’ pitching corps, completed his 12th year with them this month. Mathewson’s grand average along with that of old Cy Young’s has never been equaled. (The axe has fallen on Jack Quinn, veteran N. Y. Yank twirler, being released to the International League by Manager Wolverton. Waivers have been asked on Bobby Wallace, St. Louis shortstop. Bobby has slowed up too much after his 16 years major league service. Nick Altrock has come back to Washington from Kansas City. He will be used on the coaching lines along with Germany Schaefer. This pair is the cleverest comedians in the league. Sol Myer, owner of the Indianapolis team, has hired detectives to watch his players during the hours they are not playing. As a result, several have been released.

Harry Wolverton, Yank leader,, has declared that Tyrus Cobb is worth SIOO,OOO to any ball team in the country. He also states that he would not trade him for some ball teams in the big league. Danny Green, old Sox is slowly sinking in the Cook County Hospital. Tuberculosis is the cause. He was one of the famous outfield, composed of Bill Lange, Ryan and himself. Sweeney, Boston second sacker, connected safely five times yesterday in the game with the Cards. His fifth drive won for Boston in the 14th. Bis Lord connected safely four times in the Athletic-Tiger game yesterday. Connie Mack, admitted for the first time yesterday that the race was over as far as the Macks were concerned. The Cubs faded before the masterful hurling of “Matty” in the final CubGiant battle on the polo grounds yesterday. Fight fans are watching the result of the Attel-Murphy bout in Frisco with much interest. If Attell loses he will be classed as no longer of championship calibre. Murphy has one victory to his credit over the clever little Abe.
