SPORTING RESUME.

(By B. B. Bug.)

Yesterday’s Results. American League. Washington 3 Chicago 2 Philadelphia 8 iSt. Louis 3 Detroit 4 New York 1 Boston 8 Cleveland 6 National League. No games scheduled. Tom Hughes held the White Sox to two scratch hits in 8 frames but was relieved in the 9th after one Senar tor had walked and another hit safely. Johnson stepped on the slab and the Hose died peacefully. Walsh also twirled great ball for the Sox. Until the 7th inning not a sefety had been registered on either side. Fred Toney, ex-Cub, pitching for Louisville against Minneapolis, held them to one lone single in yesterday’s battle. It is probable he will be recalled. Heinie Zimmerman is leading the National League with a batting average of 399. This is the first time this year that the hard-hitting Dutchman has been out of the 400 mark. Cobb is leading the younger organization with a mark of 421, one point better than he finished the season with last year. Old Cy Young, pitching for an amateur team in Ohio, was defeated by another bunch of amateurs. It was a hard-pill for the veteran of over 500 big league victories to swallow., It was Cy’s intention to rejoin the Boston Braves if he won the game. Ty was responsible for every Tiger run in yesterday’s game with the Yanks. The first time up he tripled and scored on an error. With Bush and Lake on the paths in the 7th he tripled and scored himself later. Ed Walsh caused nine Senators to breeze the atmosphere yesterday. 11l luck continues to follow the Philadelphia Nationals. Pitcher Brenan has developed diphtheria. Alexander, the mainstay of the club’s staff, may also be put out of the game as he was a roommate of Brennan. The Phillies appear to be the champion hard luck team of the country. The Giants have a record of 15 consecutive victories over the sliding Reds. Wayne and Madison, two amateur teams of Nebraska, played 19 scoreless innings recently. Chick Gandil, Sox castoff, defeated them yesterday with his trip.le in the Bth. Eddie Plank defeated the Browns easily yesterday. The Browns used 4 twirlers in a vain effort to win. Red Kuhn seems to have clinched Billy Sullivan’s job as regular Sox backstop. Terry Turner, veteran Cleveland third baseman, is hitting well over thq 300 mark. Hans Wagner is not batting up to his usual standard, although he is pounding the sphere at a 308 gait. Johnny Kling, Boston backstop, has recovered his former batting eye and is well up among the stickers with a mark of 316. King Cole, who proved such a sensation for the Cubs and later wore a Pirate uniform, has found the going very rough for thfe last two seasons. He has decided to quit the game, giving as a reason that he can not get in condition. Eddie Plank is about to see his ambition realized. He is now leading the American League twirlers with a record of 17 victories and 3 defeats. The Giants are leading, in team hitting with a mark of 290, but are absolutely last in the fielding line. The Browns have bought short stop Walsh from Mobile for $2,500. Jim Stewart, the Gotham heavyweight, meets Luther McCarthy in New York tonight. The bout is of vital importance to McCarthy. If he loses it means back to the farm. The Attell-Murphy bout in Frisco ended in a draw after 20 rounds of hard milling. Comiskey’s ball yard will draw large crowds during Washington’s stay there with German Schaefer and Nick Altrock as extra .attractions. The Washington hurling corps has not a single portsider in the bunch. # Hartzell, Yank third sacker, will have a hard time getting his job back from Young Paddock. Lefty Leifleld and Tommy Leach are playing great ball for the Cubs while Hoffman and Cole who were traded for them have been cf no value at all to the Pirates. Cole his quit the game and Artie is sick. It looks as if Chance had handed Dreyfuss a package. Bobby Byrne is leading the Pirate sluggers with a mark of 311. Joe Wood has tied Marquad’s record, , each having 21 victories and 4 defeats. Eddie Summers, former Detroit pitcher, who was sold to Providence has decided to quit the game and has returned to his home in Ladoga, Ind. Ping Bodie, the slugging of .the pale hose, was chased to the club hoUBe for'too much back - talk to tbe umps yesterday. Charlie-Carr is leading the association hitters with a mark df 341 for 108 games. He is followed by Butler, Abe young St Paul short etbp, whom ’

several big league scouts are watching. In the Bloomington-Dubuque game the Bloomers made a new record for assists. Of the 24 put outs made by them 22 came by the assist route. John Evers pilfered home station in the Saturday Yank-Sox struggle. : 7 Larry Gardner connected for a twobaser and three singles in five trips to the plate yesterday. The Red Sox pounded four Nap hurlers after Collins had been driven from the slab by tbe Naplanders and edged out on the right side of the ledger 8 to 6. Sweeney, of the Braves, is clouting the pill at a 380 gait and is but 19 points behind the slugging Heinie.
