WHITING DEFEATS GARY. The Whiting bollermakers defeated the Gary bollermakers Sunday morning at the White House grounds by a score of 12 to 9. The feature of the game was the heavy hitting of Whiting's first baseman, Feterson, getting four two-base hits and the fine fielding of Captain Keefe. Short-stop Griffin made one of the best catches of the day. making a dive in the air In the second inning, pulling down the ball with one hand, he had to take off his cap to the crowd. John Poppen

I went to bat in the ninth Inning for Bradley and got a home run with the i bases full. The Gar;- team tried hard to win the game and if the rest of the

team put up the game that AVilliams and Old Tom Collins did. there might have been a better score. The Whiting boilermakers will play the car shop

team Saturday afternoon and the barrel house employes Sunday morning at the White House grounds. Batteries: Whiting Bishop and Cross. Gary Lewis and Davis.

SHAMROCK DECIARED WINNER. New York. July , 21. Frederick I Thompson' schooner yacht Shamrock

has been officially declared the winner of the Lipton cup, the principal prize in the Cape May race of the Brooklyn Yacht club. This decision has been delayed owing to a protest of Stuyvesant Wain wright, owner of the sloop Mim-.-.sn III., second in the race, against the rating of the Shamrock as announced

by the committee before the start of

the contest.

CUBS? GOING DOWN! .-..,It couldn't be, called less. majestei to Bay the kinga of the diamond were on the bum yesterday when Boston shut them out, 5 to 0 and pushed them back into third nlace. Not so. The kings

were wise to their bd exhibition and laughed it off with as good grace as possible uiider the circumstances. The Cubs got very tired and refused to try their best. Of course that wasn't quite right, but as long as they had nary a look-in for a run it didn't matter whether Boston's score was held down to one run or allowed to soar to fifty. Lindaman had a dandy out curve working, and it was no trouble at all for him to dish out the blanks. Mordecal Brown and Carlos Lundgren had quite a different experience. Brownie was sent over the high jumps in four innings and "tundy" was soaked hard in the three innings he pitched. Finishing ivp the Job was left to Mack, the new college boy hurler. His pitching wasn't particularly Impressive, though lie was the best of the three, but he came mightly closn. to making a home run In the ninth after two were out.

TERRE HAUTE MAN WANTS HIM. The latest challenger of Johnny

Coulon, now matched to box Young

Joe Gans, Is Young Merman of Terre

Haute, Ind., who, like the rest of the

challengers, does not send on a for felt.

Herman says, however, that he hast backing from $50 to $500 and that he

Is ready to post a forfeit at any time to box the Logan Square bantam at from 105 to 10S pounds. Herman says

he has had thirteen fights, of which

he wo nseven with knockouts, got five

decisions and one was a draw.

CHICAGO AND NEW YORK SPLIT EVEN. New York, July 21. The White Sox and the Highlanders split even on the day In their double-header this after

noon. The Sox won the opening game by the score of 6 to 3, and in the second contest the tail-enders reversed the same score on them. It was anything but a good day for a ball game, not to think of two. A light mist began to fall soon after the two teams got together at 2 o'clock, and the rain kept coming down all afternoon a little harder with each succeeding Inning, but the umpires were determined to make a full day of It and kept the players at their work until the last man was out In the second game, and by that time the train was coming down In quite a healthy shower.

SCALER-ATTELL BOUT OFF.

Spokane. Wash., July 21. Before "Kid" Scaler and Abe Attell had time to don the gloves at Recreation park

last night, Prosecuting Attorney R. M.

Barnhart noised about that forty war

rants had been issued and placed in

the hands of officials to arrest the par

ticipants In the contest. The promo ters then called the affair off. Barn

hart says the announcement means death to the proposed match between Bob Fitzsimmons and Stanley Ketchel. for which forfeits have been posted. It Is probable the match will take place in a North Idaho town at a pavilion erected for the purpose.

LOOK FORWARD TO GAME. Interest In baseball games this week 5s centered on Saturday afternoon's game at Bessemer Park between the

Eighth ward politicians and members of the South Chicago press. The game was arranged through several boasts on the part of the politicians that they could bet a baseball team together that could wipe up anything in South Chicago, this remark was overheard by a member of the press club, who Immediately called a meeting which resulted In the newspaper men challenging the politicians, who accepted the challenge. IBM" Rowan, acting as manager for the reporters, and Alderman Moynihan for the politicians, drew up an agreement and posted a substantial forfeit. An efTort is now being made to get Governor Deneen to officiate as umpire. If Deneen falls to accept, the honor will be tendered to Mayor Busse or Fire Marshal Horan. In addition to Mayor Busse there will be several other down town politicians on hand to witness the game, although competition will be limited to those residing In the Eighth ward. The press men took their first practice yesterday afternoon and with few
