By knocking the lowly St. Louis Browns down twice In the same afternoon the proud Chicago White Sox crept back into'' the first division of the American league race yesterday. They beat Bob Wallace's mixture of baseball talent. 6 to 3. In the first game and gave it a kick in the second by a score of 13 to 6. From the appearance of the two games

H looked as if the Sox wouldn't lose a game all year if they could play in St. Louis until the season is over. Springing a double-header on the White Sox after their ferocious battles In Detroit was quite a a surprise and seemed to arouse their wrath Just enough to make them play scrappy baseball from the start to the finish of the four hours or more of pastlming. It was apparent that the St. Louis management meant to catch the Sox oft their guard, but Gen. Duffy sent two of his most ."unlikely" pitchers to the slab in each game and got away with the double victory without calling upon the stars of the mound. Now he will give them the stars for the other three games and if the Browns will only play as bad baseball for the next three days as they did yesterday the Sox should

return home next Saturday with a clean sweep of five victories in this

hot and dusty town.

Game Today. Pittsburg at Chicago. t St. Louis at Cincinnati. New York at Boston. Philadelphia at Brooklyn. Babe Adams, one time world's series hero, sawed a considerable chunk out of the Cubs' lead with the assistance of eight other Pirates yesterday, by winning the first game of the six day series between these ancient and honorable rivals. Score 3 to 2. Adams held Chance's men down to five hits and if three of those swats had not been for extra bases the runs on our side would have been fewer. Lew Richie was opposed to Adams for seven of the nine innings and was almost as effective In the aggregate, but was unfortunate In having the enemy bunch five of their six hits off him on two different occasions. Those two bunches were enough to turn the scale in Pittsburg's favor. Richie was replaced by Pinch Hitter Saler in the seventh, which allowed Fred Toney to finish the slabbing Job

with his usual savoir faire. He was touched safely only twice and In neither case was the touch fatal.

PLAYERS STRIKE

Logansport, Ind., June 21. When

payment of salaries due since the first of June was refused here today, the Logansport team in the Northern Indiana league disbanded. Manager LefTert, June 1, threw up his franchise, which was taken over by the league and the league officials carried the Logansport team until a new manager and new arrangements could be made. President Klunck assured the players their money would be waiting for them when they left for Marion last week, and when they did not receive the money at Marion they were told they would receive it at Huntington. In Huntington they were told that their

checks were awaiting the mat Logansport. When they discovered the checks were not here they refused to play. President Klunck was notified, but no arrangements were made by him to retain the players. A fund of $600 had been raised here to carry the team after the league had turned it back to local management, and this fund has been returned to the men who donated it.

San Francisco, June 21. Wolgast and Welsh are to be the principals in the

these engagements successfully and re

tain their health.

Tom Jones, Wolgast's manager, called

on Baron Long, who has charge of

Welsh's affairs, this afternoon Snd the

talkfest was started.

"Wolgast Is willing to stake $10,000

that he can defeat Welsh." said Jones.

"If that's so. I'm willing to take the other end on behalf of Welsh, retorted

Long, "and I'll put up $1,000 now to

bind the match.". "You're on," said Jones. "Let's write some checks." Long re

plied, and they adjourned to the inside of the training quarters and each made

out a check for $1,000.

The money was placed in the hands

of a stakeholder until the opportunity

for signing articles arises.

COSTER SIGNS FOR BOUT WITH ATTELL Memphis, Term., June 21.

SCHLOSSBERG

TRAINS IN HAMMOND Steamboat Phil Schlossberg does not

like Chicago as' a training place. The navy champion is going out to Hammond in a day or so to do his training for that battle with Eddie Mc-

Goorty of Oshkosh on Wednesday night

of -next week in East Chicago. Phil

thinks he can fit himself better out in

the country air than he can in the

stuffy atmosphere of the local gymnasiums. Si) he will take Cleve Hawk-

Ins and a string of sparring partners

out to the Hoosier town to worjj with

him. Manager ?ate Lewis thinks Hawkins is one of the best trainers in the business and will trust Schlossberg to him entirely. Nate -will be busy, anyway, keeping a watchful eye on Greek Knockout Brown, who is training at O'Connell's for his July 4 match with one John Thompson. McGoorty, who also fights Young Mahoney at Gary this coming Friday night, will not come to Chicago until tomorrow. He preferred to stay at home and finish his work. His manager. Patsy Callahan, was in Chicago yesterday," however, and announced that Eddie was in grand shape for the Mahoney tilt. "M'Goorty, I think, will surely outbox Mahoney, though I admit the Racine man Is pretty tough," said Callahan. "Of course, with Schlossberg he

is giving away weight and I under

stand Phil is a pretty fast fellow. Eddie

will give him a good fight, though, you can bank on that. I can't see where he has anything on us even at 163 at 3 o'clock." The tickets for the McGoortySohlossberg quarrel will be put on sale In Chicago today. ' They are expected to go fast, as this match has stirred up a lot of Interest over the city. Schlossberg boxed at .O'Connell's yesterday, as did Knockout Brown. Phil is clqse to weight "now and s;iys 16J will be the easiest kind of notch for him.

The Montgomery team, which flMs'.ied at the bottom last year, is maVng: a gdod fight for the Southern leaje pennant this season.
