Africa 11 Belgium 3 Denmark Ill Austria 3 Nonvax 10 J Holland 2 Stockholm, July 12. With another grist of victories added to Its list, the American athletic team is practically assured of first place in the Olympic Karnes. The squad all but swept the boards in a glittering exhibition In yesterday's events. The United States stands head and shoulders above the field with a total of 88 points to 62 points for Sweden, the logical contender for second position. For the fourth time eince the track and field festival began, the flag of the United States waved from all three or the announcing staffs after the finals of the pole vault. Harry S. Babcock of Columbia -university, won the vault with a height of 12 feet 11 Inches, and Mark S. Wright of Dartmouth, holder of the world's record, and Frank T. Nelson of Yale university tied for the remaining points. Babcock's mark breaks the old Olympic record of 12 feet 2 Inches made by E. T. Cooke and A. C. Gilbert of America In 1908. First and second in the sixteenpound shot put for both hands and first and second in the final heat of the 200-meter dash were the other stdatum achievements. Ralph C. Craig of the Detroit Y. M. C. A. took the sprint in 0:21 7-10 in a marvelous burst of speed, breaking the tape Just thead of Donald F. Lippincott of the University of Pennsylvania. Ralph Rose of the Olympic Athletic slub of San Francisco boosted his points by a victory in the' shot put, making an aggregate distance of 90 feet 6V4 inches, and Patrick J. McDonald of the Irish-American ath

letic club of New York followed for second with a mark of 90 feet 8 Inches, the remaining point going to Nlklander of Finland. Five out of the six finalists in the 110-meter hurdles are Americans. Tne winners in the semi-finals are John R. Case of the University of Illinois, Fred W. Kelly of Seattle, John l Nicholson of the University of Missouri, James Wendell of New York and Martin W. Hawkins of Portland, Oregon. George Gould! ng of Canada upheld his reputation for pedestrlanism by capturing the 10,000-meter walk In 48:28 4-10. Another Important episode was the setting of a new worlds record of 5:34 by Cecil Healy of Australia in the fifth heat or the 400-meter free style swim. The showing of the western athletes in yesterday' . games . was superb and gives the section added standing. The bad feeling between America and England seems to be diminishing. The tension became less when A. ' N. S. Jackson apologized to John Paul Jones of Cornell for failing to shake hands after the Englishman had won the 1,600-meter race. Lieutenant 'George S. Patton placed fourth In the cross-country section of the modern pentathlon. He took a fall at one of the difficult Jumps, but suffered no serious results.

the game. To all Indications the umpires had nothing whatever to do with the calling off of the game yesterday. It was not more than eleven minutes after time was called before the boy

j announced the double-header for to

day. Baseball law was thrown to the winds by some one. Of course, the Sox management had nothing to do with it, and Jimmy Callahan was a bit put out that the game should have been called oft. He wanted to play that game yesterday, instead of doubling

up today.

Klaner and Atllnkon In a nip and tuck affair, 8-6, 6-4. 6-3, while Burdlck and Shefller qualified by beating Neely and Scudder in a lengthy event, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. and Byford and Ludke defeated Garnett and Glfford, 6-1, 6-8, 7-5. The defeat of Neely and Scudder was a distinct surprise.

WHY ARB YOU NOT A . TIMES READER?

WHO WILL BE GIANT KILLER? Who'll stop the Giants T That is the question which demands the attention of every club owner and manager in the National league. Present Indications are that McGraw'i men will make a runaway race of this year's marathon and unless they are tripped

up pretty soon they will have the pea nant nailed to the mast by August 1. That means that there will be little Interest in the National league scramble and consequently the gate revenue will be small over the circuit. In other words. It looks like a poor year, financially, for the parent body.

COBS SWAT BALL; BEAT GIANTS, 11-7

In a regular Old-fashioned slugging match which Increased the ln-patients

of bedlam by several per cent, the Cubs licked the Giants 11 to 7 yester

day in the final of a four game series, thereby reducing New York's lead in the pennant .race, to a measly thirteen games. Chance's men won the combat, lost it, and won it back twice during the two hours and a near quarter which spanned the crazy battle, and that period of time was crowded full of Joy, gloon. base hits, horne runs, boots, bones and umpire baiting. In fact almost everything that ever raised the temperature of a baseball fans happened at some time or other during the day, and the largest crowd of the series was out there to go batty over it. McGraw elected not to send Marquard back at' the Cubs, but took a chance of winning with George Wtltse, the veteran of his staff. Wlltse lasted two Innings, during which Heine Zimmerman lifted a home run Into the right field bug roost, and when this

WHITE SOX GAME STOPPED BY RAM

Philadelphia, Pa., July 12. The Sox and Athletics played one inning yesterday and then the rain came. It came suddenly, pouring down in sheets for about ten minutes. Then It cleared up Just as suddenly as It had begun, and before the sun had & chance to dry up the field the toy with the megaphone rushed out in front of the stand and announced the game was off and that a double-header would be played today. In the rules governing the national game it reads that the umpire shall wait thirty minutes after calling time, and then, if he thinks the grounds are fit for play, Jie shall order the teams out on the field. If, In" his Judgment, the grounds are unfit, he shall call off

The Elgin road races recently abandoned by the Chicago Motor club, will see their annual renewal next month with the Chicago Automobile club assisting the Elgin Road Race association in promoting and conducting the class events. A movement to save the Elgin races has been on foot for some time, and when the Chicago Motor club notified the Elgin people that It would not assist in conducting the meeting, things moved swiftly at the Chicago Automobile club. Chairman C G. Sinsa-oaugh and his associates on the contest board of the Plymouth place organization, held several conferences with representatives of the Elgin association and decided prospects for running a successful road race were good. Yesterday the board of managers of the C. A. C. met in special session and ratified the tentative agreement made "between Its contest committee and the Elgin promoters.
