CUBS TAKE THIRD

GAME FROM MAIITS Reulbach ill ReSCH6 Role Relieves - Richie ; Score 4 to 3. New York. July 30. For the third straight time "Big Ed" Reulbach rush ed In to check the desperate Giant ' band yesterday. With "Lurid Lew" Richie, the old Nemesis of the Polo -rouna athletes. wavering In the , eighth after a hard battle. Reulbach w called to put the damper on a dangerous rally, and he was effective enough to dispose of the slipping lead- i rs re tney could do anything bet lcr lna" come wumn one oi lying m. 8CO' ine nnal ngures were to 5.

was a freakish affair, with Richie al-; way" ,n tlgnt holes nd the Cubs snowing Dmuaniiy in ine neia as wen as with the stick. Two -double plays that snuffed out rallies when the Giants should have done enough to tie up the game featured the fray; Tinker and Evers working so perfectly that they made monkeys out of the top-rung holders ' v Mm grain of the home crowd added to the cll(nltIlt hom, rooter, well . as the Giant players kicked on everythlnn- Rnh in4 Vl.m nrr nntlnu. ! kny on the griddle, and while some . tlw.

The Cubs managed to run up four i runs off big Jeff Tesreau and his co- I worker, Loon Ames. The lad from ! Ozark county did fairly well, but his mates were unable to give him any- : thing in the way of runs. The Cubs nicked him for a count in the first, due to Zimmerman's swatting, and the Dutchman connected again in the third for a run that put the visitors to the front, the Giants having caught Richie napping in the first and shoved lover a count on the strength of Lew's wild ness.

Joe I lichen II., picked as an almost cer nr v, Tc 'fht "rltTi" h" Mtuttlon a unbeaten pacer. Knight Onwardo made the most gallant attempt to head the big bay, coming up from far back in the last 100 yards of the first heat and giving the Patchen horee a rub. Patchen got off In the lead each time and maintained It. Patchen's first heat was traveled in 3:07, the fastest of the day. The numerous field of contestants for ths Tavern "steak." with amateur drivers, was put Into three dlvislon. thus dividing the 15,000 "steak" Into ! four slices, 11.000 for each Mrimtrn and $2,000 for a royal race on Friday. CHAMP AFTER BIG COIIIJi PACKEY Once more we have with us Packey McFarland and Ad Wolgast, both poised and ready to spring at each other's throat. The time honored lightweight match is ready for official announce ment again, and this time the game may be played through and , the bout be put on. Wolgast agreed yesterday, before he left for his home In Cadillac. Mich., to meet Fackey in a ten-round engagement, the affair to be put on in Madison Square Garden Sept.1 20 or 27. All that is necessary now is for the promoters to guarantee the champion $22,600. Wolgast was bested in a wordy encounter with Emll Thlry, who drove the champion to the wall with several well directed adjectives and then allowed a breathing spell, when Ad agreed to allow Packey to come In at 135 at 3 o'clock, or five hours before the set-to. The Cadillac boss of the 133-pounders made it known to Thiry that there Is but one man In the ring that he wants to settle all disputes with, and named the party as Packey McFarland. But the cnamplon says he must have 122,500. . Money is Ad's middle name and when business is talked to him the speech maker must lay down something. The titleholder said that he would not ask for any picture rights or privileges, the purse demanded being all that he cares for. His generosity touched Thiry and the caretaker of McFarland. Immediately wired the good news to Billy Gibson, matchmaker for the Garden club, and an affirm ative answer from that person is eagerly awaited, &j Xhlry. .

WHITE SOX LOSE TO REOJOSE. T-5 League Leaders Score Pour in Third and Three in the Fifth.

Wierd fielding on the part of the Sox gave Stahl's leaders another game yesterday and made the issue three straight for the present Beries. Two generous miscues by Captain and Act ,n flianager iora. coupiea with a wnoie - neartea peg oy uens which sent the ball into left field, crumpled the fading hose. "Rube" Peters tumbled what was left of a chance for victory when he stepped to the mound, allowed four, blngles, following Lord's second error and three runs, the final total being 7 to 5. hits In the fourth, fifth and sixth chaeed over fiv for th manageress i pui me imui uuuvr ouuvnp&w Ray Collins, dented the slants of Rescuer O'Brien and otherwise put the followers of Callahan In the running. but the errors had done the damage and the slugging went for naught. Two errors, two passes, three sacrifice hits and a safe blngle gave Bos ton their first four runs, those coming . over In the third, while Bens was doing his utmost. One error, four clean drives, a hit batsman and walk hrAurht the total iid to seven In the fifth, these marking off Peters. These two frames arave Boston Its onnortunl ty to count, for Doo White relieved Peters and "Doc" was right, going the last four sessions on a one-hit allowance. Sneed Ban distributed carefully In the outer garden checked the fighting south aiders on almost every occasion, Twelve of the putouts made by the Red Sox are credited to Speaker, Hooper and Lewis, the first two named nailing five apiece, and the last pull lng In two, the final out of the game going Into the mitts of Lewis near the left field flag pole. For a ground cov ering and fly judging trio the three from Boston take down the honors. Eddie McGoorty and Jimmy Clabby of Hammond will probably be seen in a twenty-round bout at New Orleans on Labor day. Marty Forklns, manager of the Oshkosh middleweight, received an offer from the southern city yesterday and the match will undoubtedly be closed within the next few days. Clabby said some time ago that he was willing to fight McGoorty. Tommy Gary, also under Forklns' wing, is to take on Frankle Russell in a ten-round bout at New Orleans, August 12, the match being closed yesterday. X " - J CARD A BIUERO MEET Chicago Flying Carnival to Be Held September 16 to 21. Announcement was made yesterday by the Aero Club of Illinois that two of nyl8r would be held In Chicasro ,n '. week at the vimvrv Mrvorvmo ana one weeK on the lake front, where the international aviation meet was held last fall. Activities .will begin witn the James Gordon Bennett cup race for the in ternatlonal aviation championship at Clearing, nine and one-half miles southwest of the loop, - Sept. 9. Following this a circuit race of 600 miles will be held, starting from Cicero field Sept. 10, and circling through Michigan. Indiana and Illinois. Aviators from, this country and Eu rope will take part In the Cicero meet Sept. 12 to 15, Inclusive. This meeting was specially arranged in order that the airmen who came from the five European countries to compete in the Gordon Bennett might make some of their expenses. Since the Gordon Bennett ' event Is a sporting proposition purely, a purse of $40,000 has been raised by the local officials for these meets In which the foreign stars may participate and net a little money for their trouble and expense. Cross country races, passenger carrying contests and other events will feature' the Grant park meet, which will start Sept. 16 and ' continue until Sept. 21. By experience gleaned from last year's meet the club officials claim that they can conduct this one week meet with much less expense and crowd more actual flying into it than they did into their initial venture last "year, which lasted twelve days, and cost two lives and a loss of nearly $100,000. A novel feature 6f this meet will be the around Chicago flight, which will open It. All of. the entrants will start from Cicero Held and fly to Grant park, encircling the lake for a distance of nearly twentyfive - miles, since the aviators are not allowed to fly over any portion of the City. - ' : - ; .

JOHNSON SAYS HE'S READY TO QUIT

As last night merged into today Jack Johnson, champion of the world, resigned from further active participation in all things fistic. Disgusted with all things that appertain to the squared circle. Jack movea the eventful day ahead from that first proposed -Labor day and declared he was through. "They won't let me fight a waite man in New York, and there's too much red tape connected with the shorter bouts," the champion gave as the reason for his sudden decision. "I've got all that I can get out of the game now. Let the others go fight it out among themselves. "No, there's no chance sor me to come back. I'm througm, and that means that there can be no Inducement offered which will be sufficiently strong to get me to don my fighting clothes again.'' ON AUGUST 10 Arrangements for a ball game with the Gary mill team is still hanging fire. T. V. Brennan of the local steel works thinks he will cinch a date to day when Manager Connldlne of Gary promised to call up over the long dls tance phone. August 10 Is the most likely appear ing date at present. August 3, a week from tomorrow, was desired at first. but Hathaway pitches . in the Braid wood tournament the day before and Brennan wanted the star dinger In good condition to wallop the Gary men. "I will use practically the Illinois Steel team In the Steel league," said Brennan this morning, "with the addition of Hlmes and Camp, .probably, from the American Steel and Wire. We want to win against Gary. The Steel league will not play the day Jollet meets Gary." Joltet News.
