SPORTING RESUME.

(By B. B. Bug.)

National League. Chicago 10 Boston 7 St. Louis 8 New York 6 Pittsburg 5 ; Brooklyn 3 Cincinnati 2 Philadelphia 1 American League. Cleveland 3 Chicago 1 No other games Scheduled. The Reds came to life and walloped the Phils on their own lot in a hurlers’ duel by a 2 to 1 count. In the Bth Rixey weakened and Alexander went into pitch with men on third and second but Hoblitzel’s sacrifice fly scored the winning run. Yesterday was flag raising day in New York and as usual it failed to bring any luck. Ames was sent to the firing line by McGray and was knocked off the slab in two rounds. New York tied the score in the 4th frame but the Cards came back with the winning marker off of Mathewson in the next frame. Hannon was pounded for six sifeties by the Giants is four frames. Slim Sallee allowed but one scratch hit in the last five stanzas. Trajon Johnny was suspended by President Leach and Heinie Zimmerman was fined SSO for their run in with Umpire Fineran in Saturday’s game in Boston. Chance immediately wired a bot retort to the chief executive, claiming that just before each New York series that he did something to injure the Cub chances, but that They would beat the Giants out anyway. * Evers claims that Finneran pushed him in the face. This is the first game the Trojan has missed this year. Lynch gave as his reason for not suspending Zimmerman that the Bronx German was always anxious to miss each New York series. Outfielder Berrens, recently resured by the White Sox, has been sent back to Dubuque. Jack Barry is the only Athletic who has given up hope of winning the flag, but says his team will fight until all hope is gone. The Cubs made 16 hits off of the Boston and the Beans obtained 12 from the Cuib hurlers. Eight bases on balls were given. Ward Miller led the Cub stickers with 4 safe ones. Ty Cobb, the star outfielder, was attacked by three holdup men in New York last night. Ty put one away by hitting him under the chin. The second one ran and Ty clinched with the third one who drew a knife and stabbed him in the back. The wound is not a serious one, however. Harry Lord was shifted to the outfield in an. effort to bolster up their sliding sox. Rolie Zeider went to third in Lord’s place. The White Sox dropped back into the second division, the Tigers moving up in the Sox place. The Naps gave four pitchers in exchange for Doc Johnson of the New Orleans club. Johnson is a first baseman. Zim gained a little on Sweeney when he rapped out two safeties against one for the Boston secbnd sacker. Walsh fell in a pitching duel before Kahler yesterday. The Chicagoan’s outhit the Naps but the Cleveland lads hit at more opportune moments. Catcher L. Jim Block, who was traded to the White Sox, refuses to join them unless he receives a major league salary. The Cubs came up another game nearer the slipping Giants yesterday, when they bumped the tailend Braves ten to seven. This leaves the Cubs but 6% games behind. The series in Chicago next week between these two teams will probably be played to record-breaking crowds.
