SOX TEAMS SPLIT III TWO BATTLES Masterly Pitching by Walsh Gives White Hose Victory in Opener, 1-0. Boston. Mass., July 18. The White Sox divided honors with the Red Sox yesterday in a double-header because Ed Walsh is one of the greatest living pitchers. Big Ed shut out the rampant league leaders in the first contest, 1 to 0, but the red hosed warriors came baok like mad lions in the second and won, 7 to 3, batting the curves of Mr. Peters to many paits of the big field. The first game was a corker, being a pitching duel between Walsh and O'Brien. Walsh was considerably the better, but it was the ninth inning before his mates could push over the one run he wanted to win. Then it was a terrific three-base drive by young Buck Weaver that turned the trick. Walsh might have gone on until dark shutting out the Red Sox, for he was hurling at his best and allowed only two safe swats during1 the whole contest. One of the two was a scratch and outside of being just a trifle wild, the big pitcher hurled a perfect game. O'Brien was splendid, but was In danger several times. He staved off defeat until the ninth Inning, when a single by Shano Collins, a sacrifice by Bodie, and the tremendous drive by Weaver put over the run. F.VE CHSGAGOANS LEFT IN TOURNEY Carry Off Majority of Honors in Two Rounds of Play for Golf Title. Denver. Colo.. July 18. Two rounds In the western amateur golf championship today at the Denver Country club under Ideal weather conditions left a field of eight players comprised of five Chicagoans, and one each from San Francisco, Minneapolis and Denver. In the upper half of the draw It looks as If Warren Wood of Chicago and Jack Neville of San Francisco will come through to the semi-finals. In the lower half, with Evans playing Saw yer and Legg of Minneapolis , meet. rig young Bromfield of Denver, the two who will reach the medalist positions are harder to pick. .The course today was a harder proposition than yesterday, having been lengthened to -3,520 yards, the length of the holes being 557, 413, 406, 175, 285, 237, 347, 46S, 532. Par Is 38. ELGIN COURSE GALLED FASTEST IN COUNTRY ... j Evans of C. A. C. Completes Inspection and Declares Track in Good Shape. That the Elgin course is In good condition and that cars will be able to maintain an average speed of seventy miles an hour or better on the Kane county roads this year Is the announcement of Road Executive R. O. Evans of the Chicago Automobile club, who on Tuesday Inspected the circuit on which the Elgin races will be run August 30 and 31. "Little work will be necessary this this year," said Mr. Evans In making his report to the contest board yesterday. "The course Is much better and faster than last year, the turns and enlargements having been Improved by scettllng during the winter and spring, and the judicious use of road drags and scrapers and a liberal amount of oil will put the circuit in shape for record breaking. "The course Is In better shape right now and as fast. If not faster, than the Savannah course on which the Vanderbllt cup and grand prize races were held." i

PESKY PHILLIES CHECKCUBS, 6-5 Hard Hitting Behind Walks Issued by Cheney Responsible for Defeat. "And then there were ten." Those pesky Phillies put a stopper in Chicago's row of wins yesterday and a check on the climbing Cubs by winning the opening game of the series here by a count of 6 to 6. It hurt all the worse because the Giants came to life and llckea the Pirates. Chance's men were not beaten wlththe Phillies, but were unfortunate . enough to have three double plays ! i pulled off against them, 1 neutralizing also excelled In the art of long hitting, and were lucky enough to put two of their extra base wallops bej hind something that made them count I a lot. The bats of Cravath and Klllifer were the chief cause of Larry Cheney's downfall. The former, who waa not ripe when the White Sox first picked him some years ago, poled out a triple and a home run, the threecushion shot being good for three runs, and the four-baser for the tally which eventually won the game. Klllifer put his triple behind a pair of base hits and turned them into runs. MAY SUTTON TOYS TOW TRIO Opponents in Three Title Matches Able to Win Only Two Games. Miss May Sutton toyed with three opponents at the Kenwood tennis courts yesterday. She began the afternoon's exercise by defeating Edith Hlnz, 6-1, 6-0. Following a short rest she eliminated Mrs. W. B. Brown and fllnshed her victories by allowing Miss Isabel Burnham two points In two sets which the Callfornian won, 6-0, 6-0. Miss Sutton will play Mrs. E. Brewer this afternoon. Miss Carrie B. Neely, present city champion, also finished the second round, winning from Louise Waller, 6-2, 6-1. Present Indications point to a final match between Miss Sutton tnd Miss Neely. Aided by Miss Sutton's presence the women held the center of attraction. Mrs. Robert Williams who was eliminated from the state tournament by Miss Miriam Steever last week avenged her defeat by beating the former state champion. The match was one of the best of the afternoon. The favorites In the men's singles won their matches with ease. Byford defeated Jerry Weber, city Junior champion, 6-4, 6-2. Hayes disposed of LIndauer, interscholastlc champion. Albrecht Ludke, who was runner up In the state tournament at the Aztec club, withdrew from competition this year because of a lame knee. This favored D. F. Wiley, to whom the German defaulted, but Wiley could not retain his advantage, losing to W. U. Knight in the fourth round, 6-1, 6-4. Ludke's affliction caused Byford to default their doubles match to Linn and Clark. Hayes and Forstall won from Scudder and Wrenn In the doubles, the latter pair attributing Its defeat to avoirdupois. The scores were 6-1,. 6-0. Squajr and Green defeated Rockwell and Merrill, 6-0, 6-3. The : winners gained the semi-finals. .-.-: CYCLISTS END LONG TOURS Columbus, O., July 18.

The contestants In the annual reliability tour of the Wisconsin State Automobile Dealer's association were forced to battle with sand over almost the entire route of this morning's Journey. It was after 11:30 o'clock when the motorists reached Columbus, the noon control. Considerable delay was encountered by the- official cars, as there Is a strict rule against going ahead of the pacemaker. The going was slow, as both official cars suffered tire trouble, caused by. the exceedingly rough going. Every car had a perfect score to Columbus, but this afternoon the King roadster had trouble and was penalized 30 points, the first and only penalty of the tour to date. SMITH STICKS WITH BRAVES Cincinnati, O., July 18. The national baseball commission today handed down a decision In the case of Player Douglas Smith, declaring him under no contract , to the Philadelphia National league club. The Philadelphia club contended Douglas Smith, who signed with the Boston Americans subsequent to June 12, was under contract to It. Its . clalm was based on a statement of Smith's brother and guardian, written on the back of an unsigned contract, pledging his brother's services to Philadelphia. The commission held this constituted no contract. In another finding the commission revoked a previous ruling that the St. Paul American association club paid $300 to the St. Louis Nationals for the release of Pitcher Golden. The player was Incapacitated for pitching, and for this reason was turned back to St. Louis. The committee also decided that Players Rrltter and Harte, now of the East Liverpool (O.) club, are the property of the Philaderphla National league club. TDflE
