Chick Hayes on the Bronson-Ferns card at the Auditorium on Labor day. Dalton clearly outpointed Wade in
their contest, while the best Hayes could do with the St. Louis boxer was to gain a draw when Hayes met Wade on the Bronson-Bower card at the baseball park, and the rival bantams

Philadelphia. Pa., Aug. 21. Chica
go s White Sox finished their years
work in this city yesterday in a blase
of glory by winning both ends of a double-header from the two times world's champions. The scores were 6 to 1 and 3 to 2, and Callahan's men beat both of Mack's star pitchers. Coombs and Bender, thereby putting a large and gloomy dent In Philadel
phia's hopes for another pennant. Perfect support and timely batting won both games.
The first game was a triumph for
Eddie Cicotte, who outpitched the mighty Jack Coombs all the way. Although the Athletics made as many hits off Eddie as the Sox did oft Jack
there was a lot of difference. The
Mackmen could do HttVe with Cicotte
In the pinches, and he gave them only one pass. Coombs was more generous. Issuing five passes, including one bats
man hit, and was not so good in the pinches.
Js'ot until the ninth inning could the
Athletics score a tally, then with a
lead of six laps Eddie took life easier
and a triple and single averted the
whitewash that was in sight.

WHITE SOX JOLT
ATHLETIC HOPES
Taking a double-header from those Phillies yesterday was like taking
sweetmeats from a small boy, only the small boy might have put up a fight. The Cubs landed both victories of the double combat with such ease that several of the stars were permitted to lay oft in the middle of the second contest. The "scores were 6 to 1 and
13 to 8. The Giants landed only one victory
down In St. Loo, so the Cubs gained a half game on them and now are five and a half behind once more, with a
postponed battle with the Giants on
the card for the west side today. A
victory for Chance's athletes will put them closer to the top than , they yet have been this season. Lurid Lew Richie is well rested and primed for slab service. The Phillies put Tip a sorry defense and never had a chance In either battle. The first one was won so easily by- the home team that the fans grew restless and eager for the second, hoping something more thrilling would take place. The second was won more
easily and the only thrills were watching the Cubs swat" the ball.
This they did with such reckless freedom that they wore out three members of Dooln'a hurltng staff and amassed fifteen base hits for a total
of twenty-four bases. In the first
contest, they whaled out eight safe
drives and had the game won in the
first inning when four big tallies were lammed over the plate.

HURL OUT FOR SEASON
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 21. "Brick" Owens and Bill Brennan of President Lynch's staff of umpires are In St. John's hospital today, where they will probably .remain for the rest of the ball season. In the first Inning of the first game with Brooklyn yesterday Brennan, running to judge a play at second when Carey stole, twisted his right leg, tore the cartlleges in the
knee and then dropped his 225 pounds on the leg doubled under him. He was carrted to the clubhouse. Ownes, in the meivntime, got the
I game going again. J. Miller, Pirate
first sacker, was at bat. He swung at one of Stack's fast ones and just tipped It. The' ball fractured Owens' breast bone. He was carried unconscious to the clubhouse, and went in the same ambulance with Brennan. Owen Is In a serious condition toctay. An x-ray examination is being made of Brennan's injury. Eddie Phelps and Ham Hyatt acted as substitute umpires after the two regular ones were hurt, and did ex
cellently. President Lynch wired to-
NATIONAL ENTERS AT ELGIN: JAY RACE
FOREIGN CARS
A battle for the speed supremacy of
the world may be waged over the Elgin race course on Aug. 81. A National . car, to be driven by Neil Whalen,
was entered yesterday In the Illinois trophy race, and if the 'Peugeots get here from Franoe In time for the event
It is not improbable that Whalen will drive in the free-for-all and Elgin
national. A contest between the Na
tlonal and Peugeot would bring to
gether the winner of the greatest of
all American races at Indianapolis on last Memorial day, and the victor In he premier event of Europe, the
French grand prize.
The local man who is sponsor, for
me "National entry nad the interna
tlonal championship clash in view
when he made the. nomination. Neil Whalen, who is to drive the Na
tlonal, was relief driver together with Joe Nlkrent for the Case team at the 600-mile race. His superb work with the car at the entrance of the back-
stretch saved the 'machine from total
destruction and prevented serious In

skidded off the track. Whalen's steer ing prevented it turning turtle.
STAGG LANDS GRIDIRON STARS FORI 91 1 SQUAD
Here's the first football story of the
year: . . ' v
Coach A. Alonzo Stagg took an early season whack at the Maroon football hoodoo yesterday when he announced the unexpected acquisition of two stars for his 1912 gridiron team. The Midway performers landed for the
team this year are Horace Whiteside,
a guard on the 1910 team, and Marsdon Smith, captain of last year's

freshman eleven. .The players called on Coach Stagg and Informed him that they would come out for the official practice next month and would be in shape to compete during the season. Smith had been uncertain of his plans for this fall, and Whiteside was supposed to have grfven up football after keeping out of the game for the season. Whiteside is badly needed In the line and his return will do much to raise Chicago stock in the rorward wall. Carpenter, captain of the team, is the only other veteran lined up so far for the heavy work as the team has lost the services of Whiting, Scruby, Rademacher and Kassulker. The coach is searching among his material for tackle to tackle stars. Goettler, the 1911 end, has notified Stagg that he Intends to ee on the Job the middle of September, and he is counted on to take care of one of the ends. Goddard is an uncertainty. The guard expected to return this fall, but Coach Stagg has heard that he is not likely to Join the squad. Smith's return will give the back field a boost. "Red" Paine, last year's quarterback, will be In his old place again, but Smith will get a chance at halfback, where he is as gifted as he is at running the team. The other freshman backs in line are Bennett, Coutchie and Gray.

JOHNSON WANTS COIN, IF NO BOUT
If the boxing commission of New York will not allow Jack Johnson to box ten rounds with Joe Jeannette on Sept. 25, the McMahon brothers will have to give the champion their forfeit of 95,000. Johnson made this statement last night while he was awaiting word from the eastern metropolis as to whether Jeannette had posted a forfeit. , According to the articles of agreement the forfeit money should have been posted yesterday with an eastern sporting writer. Johnson awaited word as to Jeannette's actions, but aothlng definite was learned. The "champion then' placed $6,000 in Al Tearney's hands and instructed the latter to notify the promoters that his forfeit was UP- lj "If I failed to live tip to the article they would hook me," Johnson said, "and I guess turn about is fair play. When I signed the articles the McMahon brothers told me the bout surely would take place. My money is up, and now it Is up to them to make good, or I'll claim their forfeit. I want to meet this fellow, but I don't think
there Is a chance of the" tout taking place. "This talk about Mcintosh offering me 160,000 for fights with Langford and McVey Js not right. I have not
and if he will post a forfeit of 815,000 with Al Tearney he can' consider the matches closed. I have been in the game too long to make a trip to Australia for nothing." Johnson last night admitted that he has no intention of retiring from the ring. He asserted he is tiring of the fast cafe life and longs for the time when he can do battle again. The champion received three telegrams from the McMahon brothers yesterday assuring him that his match with Jeannette would take place. He also said he did a little road work yesterday. V .
SULLIVAN JTO BE CUB? Is Billy Sullivan to be a Cub? That is the report from Philadelphia. Can you, imagine Sully playing with the west side against the south side next fall 'if the Cubs don't win the pennant? It's hard even to imagine it. But the story Is that the Sox will ask waivers on Sully, that nobody in the American league will claim him and that the Cubs will sign him. Such is baseball.
