Clean swatting in the fifth, when the visitors linked a double and single, alone robbed Reulbach of a calcimlned triumph. He had the pudgy leader's hopefuls eating from his sturdy right hand in all the other periods and, buoyed up by the margin gained in the second inning, Reulbach pitched In gilt edged fashion. But one dodger drew transportation, and four others bit the greensward on strikes. Fast support when the enemy threatened in the first and ninth stanzas also helped in the general cause. Getting away with a flying start In the second. Chance's title-wearers clustered three rousing drives for a pair of tallies, both runs counting ahead of Archer's wallop.

with Archer's triple, rushed six West Stders acros sthe pan. Pastorius, thoroughly tamed after' five runs had scored fairly begged for assistance, and McIntyre performed the rescue act. flagging the locals with a single tally.
Chicago's amateur racing drivers will compete in the national and international championships billed for August 19, 20, and 21 at the Indianapolis speedway. Entries already have been forwarded to the officials the name of Arthur W. Grenier, one of the stars of the recent Algonquin climb, being among the first to find refuge at headquarters. In addition to the stock car, stock chassis, events for free-for-all cars and free-for-all handicaps the program will include amateur championships In accordance with American Automobile association rules for the definition of an amateur. These races will be decided at a distance of ten or twentyfive miles. Arrangements are being made for a suitable trophy for such an event, and
as many wealthy drivers in the United States own high-powered oars as well as racing machines the oontests will be of more than passing interest. It
is proposed to have these cars divided Into two classes with one event for amateurs driving stock chassis and another for amateurs In free-for-all machines. The same clauses as govern the events for professionals will prevail In regard to the rules of driving and starting the races with the class restricted to amateurs only. These events will be run just previous to the long distance races each afternoon. There will be an amateur event each day before the professional contests, while the record trials and sweepstakes will start the program at noon.

It begins to look as though the Detroit Tigers will have the fight of their lives to cop the American League pennant. F.

rounds at the Fairmont Athletic club here Sept. 3 is expected in New York before the week is over. He is said to be in good shape. Quarters have already been retained for him in Westchester county, and he will continue training on his arrival. In anticipation of the demand for tickets seats have been arranged about the ring to seat 2.000 persons, and It is expected that more than twice that many persons will try to get into the building. The club has 3.000 members.
(Special to The Times.) Lowell, Ind., Aug. 11. De Long's Colts, an aggregation of young boys, is the coming baseball team of Lowell. They played a matched game with the
Grant Park team yesterday, only allowing the visitors to run three men over the plate, while they with ease put nineteen over. It was a spectacular game, highly appreciated by the quite large crowd present. Walking ln scores on balls credited up to the visitors' pitcher was not a pleasant feature of the game but netted the locals a number of runs. Lowell's battery, Klein and Petrie, kept the visitors hunting for bats without holes ln them, and with the support behind them it was useless for the visitors to compete for honors.
Boston, Aug. 11. Boston won again yesterday from the white sox, making It four straight. It was another close
batlte, the score standing 3 to 2 at the end of the necessary eight and a half innings. It was not a good game, however, as both teams played erratic baseball.
Two of the runs scored by Boston
were made by men that were caught
napping off first base and got away. Once a double steal was started and one of the players was caught ln the trap between first and second base but
Atz threw the ball to the grand standi
and one run scored and the other man got to third. The final run of the game was made after Isbell and Altizer col
lided in center field on a ball that eith
er one could have handled easily.
There were some brilliant plays ln the game also. Tannehlll pulled off a doube play unassisted, when the bases were full and ended the inning without a run scoring. Fast work by McConnell on second for the locals also saved trouble for the red sox.
EAST ENDS GIVE
EAGLES A BOUNCE The East End Athletic association defeated the Young Eagles at the Columbia avenue grounds Monday afternoon in an uninteresting game of ball. The game only went six innings and

Washington. Aug. 11. The action of Customs Collector Daniels at Ogdensburg, N.

There is nothing in the old law or the new which prevents the free admission of any article of American origin.
