July 7.-The first heat in the Cub-Giant bake oven campaign was won by Chance's men. 6 to 2, in a contest which was made listless by the terrific heat that settled over the bowl shaped Polo grounds yesterday until It was a correct impersonation of Dante's inferno plu aleven. Neither Richie nor Wiltse was able to go the full distance, but the Giants' southpaw was first to wilt. He succumbed to the heat and the explosion of base hits In the seventh inning after the Cubs had the game sewed up. Richie lasted through that round, but gave way to Mprdecai Brown in the eighth, although' the Giants made only four hits off the lurid one and did not get a hit in the last four innings he worked. Swell support was handed out on both sides. It was of the kind that counts without having any freaks or frills of the sensational order on it. capitaustTarrive on SEA-TO-SEA TOUR

"Red" Nelson of St. Louis curled his

curve ball around the White Sox ath

letes from their necks to their toes

yesterday afternoon with such accuracy and precision that the Browns won

the easiest kind of a game from Comlskey's proud boys, the final count being 8 to 1. Nelson should have had a shutout game, so masterful was his pitch

ing, but his defense cracked slightly in the last inning and the Sox were able to push one man over the home plate. Nelson has a sweeping curve ball

that would make Jack Coombs ashamed

of himself. He had it bending beautifully, sometimes far to the outside

and sometimes down over the corner

of the plate. He mixed it well with, a speedy straight one and his control always was strong enough to keep him from serious danger. It will be remembered that he licked the Sox last fall Just after he had graduated from the bushes. It was his curve ball then that did the trick and he has the same curve working In the same manner now. Lee Tannehill cracked one of "Red's" curves to left field for a "single in the second inning and there wasn't another hit made until the eighth, when Pat Dougherty was sent in to bat for Sullivan. Pat tore a

hot one under Nelson's feet and made

a base hit out of it.

M'FARLAND TURNS PITCHER Now that he has retired from the boxing arena for the remainder of the summer, Packey McFarland has taken up baseball and swimming as the most diverting of the sports. He has agreed to act as captain of the team of lightweight stars that will oppose the heavyweight stars in a match game at the field day games at Palos Park July 16. McFarland Is a fair all around ball player, but likes to pitch better than anything else. And he can do it well, too. His trainer, Emit Thiry, says he is willing to catch the fighter's twisters If no boxer can be found for the Job. Many of the local fighters will give exhibitions during the field day, the main event being a contest between Jeff O'Connell and Frankie Conley. Both boys are training for the contest which carries with it a side wager. Joe D' Andrea is backing Conley.

ANOTHER ANGLE OF IT Hammond, Ind., July 6. 1911. Sporting Editor: The game between the Cook Cubs and the Hammond Royals at Harrison park last Tuesday, July 4, was won by the Cook Cubs by forfeiture, according to rule 26, section 2. The game broke up on account of Otto Green's throw to second while out of the v pitcher's box, which the Royals claim was a balk. Jf the Royals will please look up rule 34, section 1, they will surely see their error in calling the throw a balk. Wm. Heimke, Royal center fielder, was not hit on the kneecap by a pitched ball, but was hit four inches below the knee, which he proved to be his players by removing his sock. His decision was given by the Royal's own umpire, Mr. Berg, and not by Mr. Fox, Cook Cubs official umpire. The Royals had but two hits oft of A. Seefed when relieved by Otto Green sub-pitcher for Cubs. A. Seefeld was taken out on account of a sore -arm, he having pitched two previous games, with but one day to rest up his arm. He pitched against the Idlers Saturday, July 1, and against West Hammond July 2. The C. C. would like to arrange another game with the Royals, and will play according to rule book only. Royals look up rules. EMIL SEEFELD, x Manager Cook Cubs.

JAP BOXER GOOD, SAYS FORBES Harry Forbes, the "come-back" champion, got back yesterday from McAlester, Okla., where he fought Young Togo, the Jap phenom, fifteen rounds on Independence day. Harry says he shaded the Jap a bit, but that Togo is a comer, and that, the Oklahoma promoters want to send the lad from the Orient against Champion Coulon. "Togo gave me a' hard fight," said Harry. "It was a no-decision affair, and though I think I earned a shade in the last five rounds the Oklahoma papers called it a draw. I don't mind that, however."
