The Sox grot off with a four run lead, but after New York had scored two and seemed about to score some more, Walsh was called in to save the game. The final score favored Chicago by a count of 5 to S. It isn't often that a pitcher is driven oft the slab because of bold base running, but that was what happened yesterday, and it was Hal Chase, the aggressive first sacker, who caused Lange all the trouble. Hal stole second and third in the first inning and repeated the trick In the fifth, and

after turning it the second time Lange

was taken out. Hal did no base running after that.

STAMPEDE BY SOX DOWNS YANKS, 5-3

"combat" without stretching truth so hard that she never again could hide at the bottom of the well or anywhere ele. This was a genuine struggle of the pitching variety between James Sanford Lavender, alias Jimmy, and Patrick O'Malley Ragon, alias Marquis de Raglan. When It was over there was little to choose between them. The

verdict really was determined by

Five HltS 111 ROW. InClUdim? i deafening home run clout by Frank

Schulte in the first in

Double and Triple, Net Four in First.

They thought they could give Big Ed Walsh another day of rest, making three in all. but It wasn't possible, for in a gloomy fifth inning, when Hal Chase seemed about to steal the victory for the New Tork club. Big Ed was called in to save the game for "Bill" Lange, who started. Lange hadn't been in a gam In two

nlng.

At almost exactly the same fraction of a minute, eastern time, that he soaked out a four base hit in Thursday's game Schulte duplicated the feat yesterday. The only difference was that he had to run out this one because it stuck around Inside the lot, while he merely trotted home Thursday on a smash over the fence. Both home runs were made In the first time at bat and each followed the demise of Sheckard.

You will say that a La Vendor cigar cannot be beat. If you try one.

JOHNSON CANNOT PICK THE NEXT CHAMPION

Art ha Must Let Them Fight It Out for the Honor He Relinquished.

Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 3. J. J. McDermott of Atlantic City retained his title of open golf champion of the United States at the Country club links yesterday afternoon, winning the national

503 open championship tournament by the

narrow margin 01 iwo sirOKes. Tom McNamara of Boston was an easy second, with a grand total for the two days' play of 236. .',

McDermott finished Thursday's play

in fifth place and it looked as though

Alex Smith of New York had the title

clinched until the final round yester

day afternoon, when McDermott gave

a brilliant exhibition of the Scottish game and wound up the final round

with a score of 71. , McNamara was close at his heels, and the contest resolved Itself Into a duel between the two experts. The Boston crack ne

gotiated the final round In 69 strokes

which Is the second best performance

recorded over the Country club course. Alex Smith, 'who made a strong bid

for premier honors with his consist

ently brilliant driving and long ring

work, was forced Into a tie with M. J.

Brady, Woolson, in the finals, al

though Smith outclassed his rival In

Thursday's play. Smith ran Into hard luck during the morning's play and

the jinx pursued him during the aft

ernoon, his final ' performance being

75.

New York, Aug. 8. John Arthur Johnson has told us a few days ago that he was through with the world's heavyweight championship. That sounded great, and everybody shouted with Joy. Cot that a single soul be

lieved that Lll Artha was doing anything but kidding, but simply that it was great stuff. Now John Arthur has gone and done it. Instead of letting all his Inferior rivals scrap for the crowd he proclaims that, in his opinion yes sir, in his opinion Sam Langford. Sam McVe and Joe Jeannette are the only ones really worthy of being considered as championship caliber. . - .. ,

Talk about .your, color, line stuff. This will be Interesting reading for

Tommy Burns, who Is having a crown

made and getting ready to hike east to defend the title which was given to him by Jim Jeffries.

who is this guy, John Arthur John
