Philadelphia at Cincinnati. , Boston at St. Louis. Just as Harry Mclntire and the Cubs seemed to have a brilliantly earn ed victory over Christy Matthewson and the Giants within their grasp yes terday the Cub pitcher blew out a cyl inder head and the force of the explo sion was so terrific that it hurled seven runs across the plate and Chicago back into third place. Score, 7 to 1. Never was a game torn more ruth lessly out of the grasp of hard working athletes; never were spirits of proud citizens more heartlessly tortured never was long deferred hope more completely blighted right on the point of realization; never was cradle robbed of baby's milk bottle by a more hardened crew than those New York Giants. For six innings the battle ran along on an even keel almost without sign of break. Mathewson and Mclntire were pitching as nearly airtight baseball as one cares to see. Big Six was practi cally faultless and was receiving mag nificent support, but Mclntire was hold ing him even despite an occasional pass or hit. The Cubs behind him were out to the limit to win the victory which meant undisputed ownership of the sky parlor overnight at least. In six innings only two hits were made oft Mathewson and only five scattered swats off Mclntire, who seemed to be getting better and stronger as the game progressed. FLYNN-MORRIS BOUT TAKEN TO SAPULPA Tulsa Okla.. June 6. An announcement of District Judge L. M. Poe, in a lecture to the grand jury today, that if the Morris-Flynn fight is staged in Tulsa July 4 he will call a special grand Jury to investigate the matter, probably will result in Tulsa losing the big event and Sapulpa profiting thereby. Ufer recently announced that if there was any agitation against the bout being pulled off here, no matter from what source, ha would lose no time in transferring the bout to Sapul-' pa. Many Sapulpans were in town to- j day, and it is understood they have conferred with Ufer and offered a substantial bonus to transfer the match, to that place. OLD PLAYER SOON TO DIE UMPIRES BASEBALL GAME Carson City, Nev., June 6. Patrick Casey, an old time ball player under sentence of death for murder committed in GoldSeld, yesterday acted as um-, pire in what probably will be his last ball game, at the state penitentiary. For some time two convict ball teams have been practicing within hearing of, Casey's cell. After following the pro-) gress, of the games by the crack of the bat and the thud of the ball into fielders' gloves, Casey appealed to Warden Baker for the privilege of seeing and umpiring one more game. He was al lowed to do so. PURDUE TO HOLD BIG TRACK MEET Lafayette, Ind., June 6. The 1912 conference track and field meet will be held at Purdue university, the conference board having accepted an Invitation extended several months ago. At the meeting at Minneapolis Saturday Purdue's athletic director, Hugh Nlcol, agreed to make changes in the Stuart field running track and cut down the sharp curves. A committee will come here next spring to Inspect the track. It will be the first conference meet ever held at Purdue. BOLT KILLS A BALL PLAYER Norwalk, Conn., June 6. Frank Van, a nail player, was struck by lightning and killed on the ball grounds here. Several other players who sought shelter under a tree were knocked down when a bolt struck the tree.

Boston, Mass., June 6. Chicago's White Sox handed the pesky Speed Boys of Boston' the final game of the series yesterday. Miserable defensive playing in the first three innings while Iron Man Lange was pitching gave Boston a lead of four runs, and, although the Sox made a most gallant uphill fight from then on, they were beaten by a score of 5 to 4. Lange got into trouble .as soon as he went to the slab. Luck doesn't seem to favor him in any way, and it throws the other players off their stride. Two mistakes on his part gave Boston the first two runs, while a base on balls helped it to another. After three sloppy innings he was solved and sent back to the hotel, so his presence wouldn't even Interfere with the game. Fred Olmstead took his Job and the Sox started climbing. Just when they were about to tie the score or win the game, Eddie Karger was removed from the game as pitcher for Boston and young Joe Wood came In and stopped all proceedings. KING OF MILE TRACKS ENTERS AUTO RACES Ralph De Palma, With Record of 48:92, to Vie With Harroun and Harmon. Ralph De Palma, known as king of the mile tracks and one of the most spectacular drivers that ever handled a steering wheel, is the latest auto star to enter the big event at Hawthorne track Saturday and Sunday. De Palma's entry was made yesterday, confirmation coming by wire from New York. It means that Burman, Harroun, Strang, Greiner, Kulcik and the other racers will have competition of the strongest kind. De Palma will drive his ninety horse power Simplex Cyclone in the Saturday races. At the present time De Palma holds the mile track record of 48:92, which is faster than man ever circled a course in the past. He also holds all other mile track marks up to twenty-five miles. But in the Simplex he Is figuring upon lowering these marks decidedly, as the car is faster than it ever was in the past, having been tried out this spring at a speed astonishing even to the famous daredevil. Today the work of oiling the track at Hawthorne will be pushed forward to completion so that the drivers may have an afternoon of practice Friday. Everything is being done to put the course in record breaking shape and it seems certain that such efforts will be successful. Entries for the race closed last night, but all are not in and will not be until the mail for two days is gone through. POLICE STOP GARYGOODMAN BATTLE Memphis, Tonn., June 6. After Danny Goodman and Tommy Gary of Chicago boxed seven tame rounds in their scheduled eight round bout last night police jumped into the ring and stopped the farce. The fans hissed and yelled at the pair, and when Referee Haack called it "no contest 'they tumbled over chairs and caused a small riot until the police forced their way through the ropes. It was more of a love feast than a boxing bout. Goodman and Gary did nothing but clinch, and never landed a blow that would stir the wind during the seven rounds. The club refused to pay the boxers. BILLY PAPKE IS FATHER OF BOY Kewanee, 111., June 6. Billy Pauke of this city, middleweight champion, is father of a son, born today In London, where Mr, and Mrs. Papke stopped on the return trip from Australia.

ABOUT PERCY SMITH Crown Point, Ind., June 6. Editor Times: In the story of the Crown Point-Gary game last Sunday I wish to correct the statement in the Chicago papers and copied by others that Percy Smith, the Crown Point pitcher, was knocked out of the box. That is not true. He struck out six men in six innings and they only got five hits off him. He was taken sick and asked Pete Henning to relieve him. This was done. Smith did splendid work. Yours truly, GEORGE KEISER, Manager.

VAN GUNDY ILLINI LEADER Champaign. 111.. June 6. Carl .'Van Gundy of Ellsworth, 111., was elected captain of the 1912 baseball teams of the University of Illinois last night at the annual team dinner. Van Gundy pitched four games and served as general utility man, playing regular either in the outfield or infield. Baseball letters were awarded to Thomas, Weber, Kempf, Van Gundy, Light, Watts, Twist, Naprstek, Wallace and Kenman. YALE SHELL WRECKED Gales Ferry, Conn., June 6. Rain kept the Yale crews off the Thames urHil this ev'ening, when the varsity had Its first trial spin of the year here. Coach Kennedy sent all the shells up the river at 6 o'clock at an easy Jog, ; no attempt being made at time. Captain Frost of the varsity is suffering, from a slight leg bruise and did not j row today. The Yale freshmen shell i was wrecked last evening when poor steering ran the shell against the float at the dock, breaking its noBe off. CALENDAR OK SPORTS FOR THE WEEK. 4 . TIEISDAV.

Largely because Helen Considlne, a comely senior, struck out eighteen opposing "bafsmen" in an interclas3 game the other day, there will be no more baseball for the girls of Milton high school. The remarkable performance attracted too much attention. This was distasteful to the school officials, who, it became known today, have barred the sport.
