LAVENDER CURVES MAKE PHILS BLUE
Cubs Take Odd Game of the Series With "Alias Jimmy" on the Slab.
Philadelphia, Pa.. Aug. 9. With Alias Jimmy Lavender on the slab, the Cubs whipped Philadelphia. 7 to 4. in the final combat of the five, thereby emergent? with the odd victory of the present series. It was Chicago's Kama all the way, but Pooln's daisies
would not succumb without consider- j
able battle toward the finish. The Cubs pecked away at Earle Moore's crossfire and other stuff until they had compiled five runs by dint of constant industry. Karl hung on until a terrific blow from Archer's bat nearly drove the ball out of the lot to the northward, a feat never yet performed, and scored two runs after two were out. Moore pave way to pinch hitter , to no purpose In the seventh, otherwise It might have been a different story, for the Cubs immediately scored two runs off Fitter, the youngster who replaced Moore, In the eighth. Those two runs didn't seem to matter much when they happened, but they made a lot of difference before the eighth Inningwas over.
WEARY WHITE SOX . WELCOME DELAY
Rain Halts First Battle of Series With Macks; Two Games Tomorrow.
A welcome shower helped the grass to grow at Comiskey park yesterday afternoon. Incidentally, It prevented the White Sox and Athletics from playing a game of baseball and caused a lot of fellows around town to remark : "Well, the Sox didn't lose one today." Because of -the postponement there will be a double-header at the south side tomorrow afternoon, the first
game being booked to start at 3
o'clock. The off day yesterday afford
d the weary Sox ample rest and
there should be an unusual display of pepper when they clash with the
world's champions this afternoon. Ed
Walsh has had four full days of rest.
so look out for him.
The rain that stopped proceedings
yesterday afternoon hit the ball park soon after 2 o'clock. All the players of both teams were out In ball suits JUjaSierlng up, but ten minutes after the Slower struck it was seen that It
would be Impossible to play a game.
TETZLAFF AND
BRAGG-MAY RACE Promoters of the Elgin road races
o be run Aug. 30-31 are now figuring
upon Teddy Tetzlaff and Caleb Bragg as starters in the Kane county meet
ing. Officials of the Chicago Automo
bile club and the Elgin Road Race as
sociation have been In correspondence
with TetzlafT for some time. He will be in Chicago today or tomorrow to talk matters over.
E. E. Hewlett, the Los Angeles rac
ing enthusiast, is said to have entered Tetzlaff and Bragg in the Vanderbilt
and grand prize races at Milwaukee.
As the Elgin races come Just before the Milwaukee meeting" it is not considered likely that Hewlett would pass up the opportunity to garn additional
glory and cash at the Kane county

LESTER LOSES
BOUT ON FOUL
Melbourne, Australia, Aug. 9. Pat Doran. Australian heavyweight, today was awarded the decision In the sixth
round of his fight with Jack Lester ot Cleelum, Wash., ex-heavyweight champion of Australia, on a foul. Lester was disqualified after he had been repeatedly, warned not to use the kidney punch.
Will Johnson Box Again? Well, He Has Refused $70,000 for Three Fights. BV SOI. PLEX. Jack Johnson gradually Is convincing some folks that he has retired for keeps. When a fighter tosses $20,000 over his shoulder for Just a ten-round no-decision fight in New York and followd that up by scorning $50,000 for two fights in Australia, the belief thru he will not come back begin to penetrate the craniums of the skeptical. That's what he has done, too. Tom Andrews offered him the $50,000 yesterday to box McVea and I,angforu at Sydney, but, Jack said, "nothing doing." Evidently $50,000 looks like a "jitney" to him.
However, things may change. A year from now some enterprising promoter is liable to push a wheelbarrow load of bank note. in front of Johnson's cafe and induce Artha' to walk out the front door with a pair of boxing gloves on. One never can tell about these fighters. They're like the girls in that they reserve the right to change their minds on any and all occasions.

Since the opening- of the Hammond Country Club and with the introduction of golf, a new personage "Colonel Bogey" has made his entrance into some of the best homen and clubs of
the city. Hammond's most exclusive
society accepted him without asking his pedigree, or requiring references. Fuly 100 people are playing golf In Hammond now. The London Mall throws an interesting light on thi3 newcomer in the city and says of him: THE REAL "bo-gey," or the "the colonel," as the imaginary opponent with the fixed score for each hole on the golf grounds is sometimes called, came into beingyabout the end of 1890 and the beginning of the following year. "It is generally accepted that a Coventry gentleman was the first to come by the germ of the idea. In December, 1S!0, the scratch score of

"At the time they called this "the ground score," and about six months afterward, when the members of the club had become properly accustomed to the idea, Mr. Rotherham offered a prize for competition according to the system, while later In the same year the club gave a challenge cup for competition on the same lines.

Secretary Downing has sent a letter to several hundred horsemen, in which he says that, while the stake races attracted the owners of large stables, it haI the effect of frightening away- tne owners of small stables.

The fair's racing program provides for four events each afternoon, or a total of twenty races. In eighteen classes the purses amount to $1,-

"There was the idea of bogey in golf, 'He'll catch you if he can!' And It flashed across the mind of Major Wellman when he was playing this game and was getting 'caught by the ground score. 'Why,' said he to his friend Browne, 'this player of yours is a regular bogey man!' A considerable piece, of golfing history as made !n that chance remark, for bogey was from that moment established for golf. 'Capital, said Dr. Browne, we'll call it that!' and he had the name adopted by the Yarmouth club."
