Sporting Resume.

The Cubs and Giants remained even for the day by winning from St- Louis and Brooklyn. With the last month of the schedule on hand the Chicago lads will have a hard time in cutting down the Gotham lead. McGraw has fortified himself for all accidents and has ten pitchers on the club roster. Boston seems to have the rag cinched in the American and the world’s contestants will soon be known. ISchulte rapped out his 11th circuit drive of the season with one on the runway in the first round, with Bob Harmon serving up the leather. Zim is leading him with fourteen to his credit. A new world’s record for base stealing was made by Ollie Nicholson, of the Blue Grass League,-when he stole 108 bases in 150 games. He clouted the leather at a 350 gait. - —~ . Ban Johnson has decided to investi.gate the suspension of Maurice Bath and will consult with Umps Westervelt The Red Sox keep on winning and trounced Mack’s crew with ease in the first game of the series 8 to 1. Plank and Brown were pounded by Stahls while Collins held the Athletics with ease. The Senators nosed out the Yanks in a seventh inning rally and tightened their grip on the second round Red Sox. Engle, of Washington, and Fisher, of New York, both pitched good ball. The Giants nosed out the Dodgers in, the ninth, by scoring two runs. Myers and Fletcher singled and errors by Moran and Miller, followed by a single by Doyle, scored the winning marker. Butler, the new Pirate second baseman, is putting up a rattling good game-for the Pittsburgs. Carish, the new Nap -catcher, is winning a home in the hearts of the Cleveland fans by his clever work behind the hat. He is poling out safe ohes with a great regularity which is very pleasing to Manager Davis, and pegging out would-be base pilferers. Heine Zimmerman’s -home run in Wednesday’s game was one of the longest ever seen on the Cub lot. It hit the sign board in left field which is 443 feet from the home plate. Schulte’s drive in 1911 is the only one to rival it. Roger Bresnahan is carrying 34 Cardinals on the club roster in an effort to strengthen them. With the waning of the American League season and Boston still far in the lead, Connie Mack has begun to build for the future, and it is probable that Bris Herd, Rube Oldring and Young Maggert will figure in deals to strengthen the Athletic outfield. Houck and Brown may give way to youngsters on the slab.
