were no covers knocked off the balls,

Several times the bases were filled

with only one man down, but Henning and Bergman each demonstrated that they could pitch themselves out of a hole and did it in easy fashion. They

simply had the hickory wieldera at

their mercy, each team receiving a

two-base hit and a bingle apiece. There was nothing that had the resemblance of a run on either side until the fourth stanza, when a costly error made by Bergwald brougnt in Hammond's only counter. Then there was another pitcher's battle and up to the ninth stanza both sides failed to connect with the sphere. Things did not look very bright or encouraging for Crown PoUit and they realised It was there only chance to start something. With one concentrated burst of speed the Crown Pointers brought ln a run after a hard attempt to reach the home plate. This

evened up matters, ajid with another brust of speed they scored another marker, the score resulting 2 to 1. Hammond had the last chance to use the hickory, but they went out ln one, two, three order, falling to connect with the sphere. There were several decisions made by Umpire Kelly yesterday afternoon that were rather close to the eyes of the Hammond team and fans, but the decisions were questioned by only a few, which showed the sportsmanlike manners of the Hammond warriors. A majority of the fans were Indignant

It was not wholly tho fault of Moll

the management knew only too well

them. When my twlrlers laughed at

them, the gamblers tried to get their 'goats' by predicting to the pitchers that they would lose anyhow. ' "Earl Moore, who. pitched last Friday's game against the Pirates,' first told me of his being harrassea ty some man, whose identity he did not know, after having , refused to meet him before . the game. ' He said that the man had asked for a talk with Moore, and that when it was refused, he had tried to put him up ln the air by predicting- tha Moore would lose. The same thing occurred on Saturday. A number of gamblers who have been operating baseball pools here all season are behind the scheme."

Defeat for the back-sliding white hose held just a trace of gladness yesterday, said morsel of Joy being the rout of Joe Wood, sometimes styled the Kansas Cyclone, who went to the cleaners in round , No. 6, when four wallops and some erratic heaving produced four desirable tallies. The ral

ly, staged after the slugging Bostonians had assembled Ave runs, failed to Jielp our lads, however, for Managed Stahl immediately summoned O. Bedient on the knoll, the rescuer flopping the leaderless Callahans with two blows and nary a run ln the remaining periods. Terrific swatting from start to finish, with Stahl setting pace, spelled the downfall of Eddie Clcotte. onetime member of the red stockings. Thirteen drives were gathered off his assorted offerings, while the south siders slipped across eight , wallops. Wood allowing six. AH the extra base slams of the day were charged to the visitors, Stahl crowning a homer, a triple and single In four times

up. Speaker and Lewis supplied doubles just by way of swelling the count. With this exhlbitloff of heavy

cannonading to . back up some brilliant pitching ln the closing stages, the Immaculate hose didn't have better than a long chance. This big opportunity bobbed up ln the sixth inning when with two gone Clcotte started a near uprising by drawing free passage from his former slab comrade. Rath singled and Zelder slashed to Wagner, who, trying for a force play, tossed too late to catch Rath at second. In two previous trials Shano Collins had singled and

drawn a pass, so the bugs, about 17,000 strong, stood up and pulled lustily, hoping the lad might again deliver. No such luck, however, for Bedient Immediately tightened up and

that pinch probably would have brought victory home to the pale shinned legion. Again ln the ninth Inning Collins got tangled up ln another batch of trouble. On this occasion he whistled a single to center after one gone, and again the multitude arose to scraatn the old rallying cry of the south Mde. Lord, next ln line, made a noble effort to lend a hand, but his liner sailed in-

Troy, N. T., July 28. Johnny Evers

headed his club mates to the old home

town yesterday and the majors were forced to score a double victory before returning to the big town last night. In an exhibition tussle with the local New York State leaguers the visitors pulled out a dlcisive diamond win-by a count of 11 to 3, but ln bo doing were forced to handle, without restraint, a band of rampant hoodlums who butted .In on the pastime and, with fiendish glee, came near to

breaking up the show before the reg

ulation number of innings..

The game was a burlesque in all Its features, the major leaguers simply

doing as they pleased, while some 8.-

000 home admirers looked on without caring much what happened ln view of their old favorite "Trojan Jack" Evers being ln the lineup. The disturbance occasioned by the boy bandits capped everything, however, and If ever several hundred rioting youngBters created more of a stir at a game than they did yesterday, history does not show It. The kids were a disturbing element all through, but until ths eighth they were kept far enough away from the playing lines to permit of the game going on unmolested. With the Cubs at bat ln the eighth and committing a swatting assault upon a young Mr. Hammersley, the kids could stand it no longer and they began to creep out

until the plate was almost obscured

from view. One of the Cabs, Charley Smith by name, rushed Into the lawless band of urchins and threw an armful of them Into the background. Soon Smith was covered with a mass of entangled arfms and legs and by way of rescue, Tom Needham heaved a bucket full of water Into the unrestrained mob. This was the signal for a generol outburst and ln less time than It takes to tell the entire field was covered with hundreds of youngsters yelling like Comanche. The players, seeing the situation, left the field, the Cubs making an exit under a cloud of dust that the daring street Inhabitants heaved at them with remarkable accuracy and speed. The entire police

force, which consisted of a lone ln-

run sign, was easily doubled by Hooper's hurried heave to Stahl. That play broke up the combat.

TRY TO BRIBE PHIL'S HURLERS, DOOIN'S CHARGE Philadelphia, Pa., July 29. An organization of gamblers attempted to bribe the Phillies' pitchers on both Friday and Saturday, vtefore the games with Pittsburg here. This was charged by Manager Charlie Dooln today. "On each day since our return from the last western trip," said Dooln, "some one has telephoned the ' men expected to pitch ln each of the games and asked the pitchers to meet them before the game. He wanted to bribe

Lightweights are billed to take the place of the Johnson-Jeannette battle which Billy Gibson aitempied to sign for New York Labor day. The negro champion was so unreasonable when Gibson tried to talk business that the. promoter left for Gotham ln disgust, instructing "Kmil Thlry to sign up Ad Wolgast and Packey McFarland for the Labor day card if that be possible. , Wolgast rolled Into Chicago as Gibson stt-amed out, but eluded the anx

ious Thiry during the greater part of the night and then would not say anything definite about taking on Packey Labor day. Gibson before he left assured Thlry that the lightweight affair was the card wanted in New York and not the negro battle, and added that Wolgast and McFarland could pull a $50,000 house If they meet ln Madison Square Garden. Thlry said that McFarland would make 18S five hours before the fight for Wolgast and would bet all he has that Wolgast would not be ln the running at the finish. Packey figures that he can stop the lelghtwelght title holder and Thlry is anxious to get the arrangements completed. Wolgast signed to meet McFarland about this time last year and, as In the case now, he was alone, his manager, Tom Jones, being on the coast, then as well as now. Packey"s man

ager thinks he can do business with Wolgast a lot easier than with Jones around and is confident that the champion will sign up today before he leaves for Cadillac, Mich., where he expects to spend the rest of the summer. Gibson hinted that Jonnson was afraid to meet Jeannette and only held out for a $30,000 purse that he might get out of such a battle. It Is said that Johnson received by $18,000 and an I. O. U. for $8,000 for his affair with Flynn, and if this be true it looks unresonable for him to demand such a sum for a ten-round no-declslon battle. Johnson has met Jeannette seven times and should know the ability of his colored "friend" by this time. Wolgast said last night that he thought he was entitled to a guarantee of $20,000 to meet McFarland, and.

although Thlry did not agre to. this. It Is thought Gibson named that figure as the highest price he would meet for the champion's service Thiry was authorised to offer Wolgast $15,000 for his end. and If Wolgast shook his : head, then the wires were to be used to New York and the $5,000 added. The Cadillac boxer was accompanied by his wife, both coming directly to Chicago from San Francisco. Ad says he Jias forgotten what his farm looks like and wants to get back and get acquainted. He contends that fighting Is much harder than farming anct Is looking forward to the day that he can put away the gloves for good and spend bis time cultivating Michigan soil. -.
