would have finished all risht. but his support was sieve-like in spots, and the Yankees tapged him for three runs while the Sox were getting one.
It la Almost possible now to reach , up and touch that pennant now. In one of the greatest combats of the ' year the rampant Cubs routed the Giants yesterday at the west side park j and pulled themselves up to a position four and one-half games from first : place. The score was 4 to 0. Class, determination and gameness were on the side of Frank Chance's warriors. They ma-3e trie victory the most decisive and most thrilling of all, presenting a wonderful defense that ' shut out the champions and sent them on their way with heavy hearts. At no time this season have the Cubs been so close to the top. At one time 'they were fifteen games behind. Lew Richie, the lurid one of the west side club, fairly reveled in the glory of the day. He had beaten the New Yorkers twice last week and he came back and made the rout complete by shutting them out. Big Jeff Tesreau opposed him. Jeff was the pitcher In the game last week that New York won, and McGraw used him as a trump card in his desperation. JefT was battered down into submissive defeat in the sixth inning and later retired In favor of Otis Crandall, the faithful truck horse or the New York staff.

Washington, Aug. 22. Thomas A, Noyes. president of the TVasntngton baseball club, joint proprietor of the Washington Evening Star and a son of the late Crosby Noyes. a pioneer in Washington journalism, died at the Homeopathic hospital here yesterday of pneumonia, from which he had been suffering but a short time. Mr. Noyes was born in Washington Jan 14. 1S6S. He had been in the
newspaper business since his graduation from Princeton university in 1889. He Is a brother of Frank P. Noyes, president of the Associated Press. Noyes first became interested In the Washington baseball club about eight years ago and has been its president and heaviest stockholder for five years. When President Taft was Informed of the death of Mr. Noyes he said: "I am deeply shocked to learn of the death pf Tom Noyes. I had met him on many occasions and had come to regard him as one of the foremost young business men of Washington. He was charming In his personality, forceful, able and tactful, and would have been, I am sure, a big factor In the development of Washington along the best lines."

New York. Aug. 22. You never would believe unless yon saw It that the White ox outfit which the Yankees licked yesterday by a score of 6 to 1 was the same team that cleaned up .the world's champions three straig-ht just before coming here. It was, but the horseshoe was working the other way. Flies and drives which Callahan, Mattick and Ixrd were getting In Philadelphia were just out of their reach yesterday. Grounders that Weaver ordinarily eat up eluded him either partially or
completely, and in addition
the occasional bone play without which a Sox game would not look natural worked disastrously instead of being retrieved by later brilliance. Benz was the victim of the horseshoe's form reversal. Joe pitched a

LACK OF HORSES MAY HALT INDIANA TURF REVIVAL.
Scarcity of thoroughbreds threatens to burst the Indiana turf bubble. The men behind the proposed revival of racing In the nearby state have just commenced to realize that It takes something more than an abundance of money to operate a race track. That

With the Orbs now only four and a half games from the Giants, the fans of Chicago are speculating on the chances of the Chicago team to win the pennant, and a few figures may
to them enlighten them as well as show what
a difficult task It will be. The Cubs have forty-two games left on the schedule. This Includes one series with each club In the league and
two series with Boston, Brooklyn,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis.
The Giants have forty-flve games lett
to play, lniluding one series with each club In the league and two series with
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia. The Cubs have four postponed games to play, while the Giants have -seven. If the Cubs win thirty and lose twelve of their remaining games it is expecting about as much as is possible, though they have been going at a better clip than that for the last month. However, should they accomnllsh that much their final standing
would be 104 games won and fifty lost. 'In order to beat that mark the Giants j would have to win only twenty-eight j of the forty-flve games left to play, i which Is no more than one would ex

Statistics show that there are less

i it Is found that the richest stakes and

season are to be decided In Kentucky, where racing recommences a week from Saturday and continues for six
ty days. Then, too, don't forget that Canadian tracks will be giving away about $3,000 a day in purses for the
1 next month or two, to say nothing of the activity of far western courses or the string of half-mile tracks across the border.

The Indiana turf revival Is solely a gamble! with the odds heavily against the horsemen, despite the recent glowing articles which have appeared in the sheet which claims to be "the on

The interests of the horsemen may have been outbalanced by the sale of advertising space and so forth. ' Outlook None Too II right.
