DE PALI IS STAR FLYER DURING PRACTICE

Wishart, Wprdingham and Bergdoll Test Cars for Saturday's Big Race at Elgin.

Ralph De Palma was the star of yesterday's practice work by drivers entered In the Elgin road races of Friday and Saturday. The famous pilot made his first appearance at the Elgrln course, but unfamiliarity with the circuit did not prevent him from hanging: up some fast time. De Palma took his big Mercedes , racer, out of the express car early In the morning:, and when practice bepran at 11 o'clock it found him ready for work. He made four laps of the eijrht and one-quarter mile course, and one round was clocked m 7:15, which Is considered frood in view of the fact that an early morning rain had made the track slippery i,i several spots. The Italian followed up his pood work with successive rounds In 7:29. 7:26, 7:22 and 7:24. Then, after declaring the course to be one of the best he ever raced over, De Palma quit for the day. He will appear again in today's practice. Thirteen machines and fifteen drivers out of the thirty-four entries came out for practice, and most of them went through satisfactory per

formances. Few of the pilots tried for high speed, but merely breezed around

the course In order to familiarize themselves with It. Teddy Tetzlaff, who on the previous day had set new speed records for the course, returned with his Flat "seventy" and made two or three rounds, the fastest of which was 7:33. On Tuesday Tetzlaff made a round In 6:55, and expects to do much"--better than that In Saturday's big speed battle. Erwln Bergdoll, winner of the Fairmount Park road race, came out with his powerful Benz and circled the course three times, his best round being made In 7:33. Hughle Hughes demonstrated that his Mercer special will be a factor to be reckoned with by the drivers of larger and higher powered machines. Hughes only went two rounds, but made one of them In 7:22. The Stutz cars appeared for their first practice. Gil Anderson and Charlie Men were the pilots, but neither of the drivers made any attempt at ran well and Indicated that they will make the others go to their limit to beat them.

ATTACK AT START GIVES CUBS 0

Zim's Homer and Triple byDowns Net Bruins Four Runs in First Inning.

By means of a vicious assault in the first inning that drove four runs home the Cubs were barely able to nose out a victory over Roger Bresnahan's

Cardinals yesterday afternoon at the west side. The score was 5 to 4 and ''the.Cubs gained half a combat on the Giants, who were idle, thereby cutting the gap to five games. If ifc hadn't bes for that damaging attack in round one, however, the Cubs might have been mourning the loss of another game, for the pesky Cardinals hung on like mad and finished strong. In fact, the run needed to tie the score was on second base watting for a base hit to drive it home. The base hit didn't come and the Cubs possessed the glory. - "Slim" Sallee, the lanky southpaw hurler, was on the slab as usual when the Cardinals open a series here. Five hits, one of which was a triple by Jerry Downs and one a tremendous

home run by Heine Zim put the game In the Cubs' hands In round one after the Cardinals had started off with a lead of one run. Those wallops would have been sufficient to have driven many a hurler to cover, but ."Slim" Sallee stuck, got the side out, and then pitched Invincible ball for the balance of the game.

JOHNSON CHARGED WITH LOSS OF GAME New York, Aug. 29. President Ban Johnson of the American league rules that Walter Johnson's winning streak

of sixteen straight games was broken In the second St. Ixuls-Washlngton game Monday. Mr. Johnson, who is

here on his way to Chicago, said:

"The winning run' was made by the

St. Louis club when Johnson was in

the box .and the game will be record

ed as a defeat for him. Johnson made a wild pitch and a St. Louis batsman

hit him for a single that sent home

the deciding tally."

John A. Heydler, secretary of the

National league, states that In his

opinion Johnson should not be charg ed with the defat.

"The rule Invariably followed by

me," said Mr. Heydler, "holds the pitcher responsible for all runners on bases when he retires from the game.

and the first pitcher, therefore, must be charged with the defeat. It is an

unfair proposition, under such condl

tlons, to expect the second pitcher to

prevent runs."

New Tork, Aug. 29. When Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul phantom, was

that lad la." . . ... Well, he ain't. If you don't bellevs it. ask any of the club managers la this town. A few weeks ago Mike sent out notices announcing that he was coming back to the town where he got a real start. The managers began to figure how to put in extra seats, for Mike was quite a card, and then Immediately wired him flattering offers to come here and battle. Michael received the messages and smiled! And often. "Your offers are very pleasing," he wrote, "but being that the high cost of living has struck this town kindly add $4,000 to the bids and I'll then agree to the terms." f This friendly reply, In addition to the heat. Tain, the sudden change in

Murphy, always there "with a. box of ring tricks, tried them all on the youngster, but nothing he could work would stop Brown from scoring. Murphy was a mark for Brown's uppercuta and crosses. Tommy lacked some of the old da.sh, it seemed. Certainly he lacked the steam when It came to punching. He left the ring with a nose and mouth cut, while Brown wore a grin a yard wide. Willie Beecher and Tommy Ginty entertained with one of the roughest bouts ever seen In these parts. They locked heads, arms and legs and went to It. Beecher was entitled to the rough-house decision.
