HEAVY SLUGGING WIIIS F0RJUBS. .10-3 Pounding of Barger for Thirteen Swats Beats Infants Again.

Chicago's Cubs trounced Brooklyn's Infants In another slugging match ( yesterday by the convincing score of 10 to S, and thereby kept pace with ' the league leaders. Lew Tactile and 1 Cy Barger were the men slugged and pretty nearly everybody on both sides ' took a hand In the slugging. Barger was the most severely bruised, for the Cubs got to him for thir teen swats and a total of twenty-one j bases, while Richie escaped with ten'telling blows landed on him for a considerable smaller aggregate of bases. Barger also was Injured severely as , to his feeling by the loss of a near home run which would have produced a lot of doubts as to the result of the game when It happened, but which did not cut tmuch figure In the light of subsequent events. When the visitors were landing their hardest on Lurid Lew in the seventh Barger whaled a long fly into the corner of right field with a runner on and two runs already In. It looked as If Umpire Owens Indicated that the drive landed fair and Barger completed the circuit, only to be Informed that his smash was nothing more than "one strike" on him and that Brooklyn was still three runs behind, instead of being only one In the rear, as would have been the case If a home run had been allowed. This sudden i shock overcame Barger and he was a much easier mark for the Cubs in the succeeding rounds. SOX DROP FIRST TO YANKEES, 13-3 Rube Peters Is Batted Hard and Receives Poor Support in the Field. New York. July SS. Callahan's struggling White Sox took another downward ' plunge yesterday when they dropped a messy game of ball to the trailing Yankees by a score of 11 to 8. Ineffective pitching by un lucky Rube Peters, bunglesome , field ing by his mates, and more weak batting were the reasons. In their present run of luck the Box are likely to win about one out of four. It did not look as if Petera were weak in his pitching. It looked as if the Sox were outguessed In nearly everything they attempted, while on the other hand, things broke beauti fully for the Yankees. They could sign for the hit-and-run play and the batter always hit through the hole made by a Sox lnflelder running to cover second. Ping Bodie lost an easy fly ball in the sun at a critical stage of the first Inning. If he had caught It the side would have been out. But he missed It. Two men who were on the bases counted, and before the side was re tired a total of four scored. That put a handicap on the Sox at the start and they could not overcome It. Just the catching of that one fly ball might have changed the whole game. WHITE BROTHERS Oil TRAIL OF J. KILBANE Chicago Boys, Each With Win Over Moran, Want Bout With Champ. When Jack White won over Owen Moran In lne rounds on a foul last Saturday he equaled his brother Charley's feat, and now both are racing for a chance at Johnny Kilbane's title. On May 20 Charlie White traveled to New York and handed Owen a beautiful lacing for nine rounds, when the Briton was disqualified for fouling. He was nearly out at the time. Moran then went to the coast, where he boxed White. Referee Eyton, after warning Owen several times, gave the fight to Jack on a foul. Owen had a shade at the time, but his continued rough work lost him the battle. Now both the White boys are after Feather Champ Kllbane, but will fight Rivers or Wolgast If given a try. Both fight at the same weight, about 126 pounds ringside, and the race between the two is proving interesting to Chlcagoans who have watched both climb. Charlie Is a clever boxer, and has beaten such stars as Shugrue, Dundee, Julian, Tommy Dixon, Moran and others. Jack is a strong, aggressive fighter, willing to take a punch In order to land one. He has not had as many battles as his brother, having beaten Frankle Conley, Harry Thomas and Owen Moran. His only setback -was at the hands of Joe Rivers, who stopped him In twelve rounds. rrrm wrjs newspaper of lakh COUNTY IS THB COMPLIMENT BE. STOWED BY ITS READERS ON THB XIMa

C two months ago to box Falser and he haa been patiently waiting ever since.

Palser will not be allowed by the state athletic commission to box at any other club before he has taken McCarthy on. The situation yesterday was this: Palser waa willing to box McCarthy If he could get a $4,000 guarantee.
