THE TIMES. a
CUB RALLY FAILS; mmm 6-3 Robinson Routed With Trio of Runs in Ninth; Hendrixs Checks Attack.
nttsburg. Pa., April 26. Fred Clarke's Pirate crew broke the tie for second place with Chicago In their own favor yesterday by annexing the first scrap of a four-game series by a score of 6 to 3. Jack Robinson some southpaw, thought he had a whitewash In sight when he started the ninth Inning, but quicker than he could ejaculate his
own name the Trojans stung him in several different places. Before he could recover from his astonishment and pain Jack felt the hook and Hendrlx was called upon to subdue the rampant Cubs. Aside from that desperate ninth inning rally it was Pittsburg's game all the way. The "SVagnerless Pirates started hitting Ritchie hard In the first inning, took advantage of a pair of slips in the second, paused for a breathing spell in the middle rounds, then hammered away until they had a lead of 6 to 0 when the eighth session was adjourned.

IJetrolt, Mich., April Z6. After a
conference with President Navin yes
terday afternoon Tyrus Cobb, center
fielder of the Detroit American league team, attached his signature to a 1913
contract. ' The terms were not given out. Application to the national com
mission for Cobb's reinstatement was
made immediately.
The conference between President
Navin and Cobb lasted about two hours. , Both emerged from the room
smiling, and when asked for the con
tract terms they smiled more broadly
but refused to give out any informa
tion.
This is my last holdout," said Cobb as he left Mr. Navin's office. "I'm going to get into my uniform Just as soon as possible and begin to practice, and
I'll be ready to play when they let me.
If the national commission acts on Cob's reinstatement promptly and does not keep him out of the game any
longer it is expected he will be in
shape to play within a week.

Washington, D. C, April 26. When Tresident Wilson heard yesterday the Washington team was playing Its last game at home before departing on a month's tour, he Instructed Secretary Tumulty to close up the engagement list and hurried to the ball park, where he saw Griffith's men win from Boston, 5 to 4. The president has attended .four of the five games the team has played here since the beginning of the season and the fans feel he is one of them. He applauds vigorously when Washington makes a 'pood play for dignity forbids that a president should root
and looks disappointed when the umpire's decision favors the visitors. At yesterday's game the president stood up and cheered when the Washington team tied the score and forged ahead in the eighth Inning. As he left the park he was cheered. He had been sitting in a box in the upper tier and though the crowd jammed the exalts below they voluntarily made a path as he passed out with his daughter, Miss Margaret, and Secretary Tumulty. As the party entered a White House motor there were more cheers, "come again. Wood'," and similar expressions of approval came from the fans.

SIR
THOMAS IMPATIENT SOUL
London, April 26. Sir Thomas Lipton, who has been anxiously awaiting the reply of the New York Yacht club to his challenge for the America cup, la somewhat surprised that its consideration by the committee of the American club has been put off for two Weeks. In regard to the report cabled from New York that the New York Yacht club would ask for some further particulars Sir Thomas Lipton said he could not understand what further details were desired, as the challenge was drawn on the lines of previous ones which the New York Yacljf club had accepted.
AN EVANS GOLF STORY. (By Chick Kvana.) This is a story that came to me the other day: Once upon a time a gentleman came to the "nineteenth" hole and began telling about a wonderful fiftyyard approach shot that he had holed. His audience thought this was a truly wonderful feat, but a little later an important supplement to the story was
received. It seems that the man played his customary shot at the pin not quite on the line. The ball acted naturally, but suddenly disappeared. It had unexpectedly found the cup, but the flag for which he had played was stuck in the green and not the hole. "The satisfied golfer stands no chance at all of getting a trophy or pounding the ball. No Travers nor Travis nor Evans nor Burke e'er made good at golf who was pleased with his work." H. P. Lowell in Des Moines Register and Leader.
CULVER VS. OAK PARK. Culver, Ind., April 26. The Culver Military academy nine will meet Oalc Park high school today. In the opening game last Saturday against Interlaken school the cadets showed unexpected batting strength and the fans are expecting a good showing against the Chicago team.

Never before has there teen such prospect of keen Inter-sectlonal compe
titton as this year. Chicago, Illinois, Michigan, . Northwestern and Ohio State are some of the western teams to measure strides with representatives

had a strong two-mile team out, while

jaunt around the track.

in late. In the party were Kuhn, Park
er, Brodhead, Matthews, Thomas. Orr
and Comstock. The representatives of RACEY NAMED
the Midway institution are figured as
strong contenders in several events in
addition to the relay.
Pennsylvania supporters received a
shock yesterday; when it was announc
ed that Capt. Roy Mercer, star of the one-mile relay team, would hardly be
able to run owing to an attack of ton Bllltls. There was some cheer, how
ever, in the announcement that Ted
Meredith, the world's Olympic cham
pion middle distance runner, would be
aDie to run in tne iresnman team, as
he had passed off his conditions.
At a meeting of the joint committee
representing the Chicago Automobile
club and the Chicago Athletic associa
tion yesterday the overnight stopping
places and dates for the sixth annual
motoring match between the two or
ganisations-were selected.
The run will be a two days' affair.
on Thursday and Friday, June 12 and
13, with Fort Wayne as the turning
point. The. Hoosier city was chosen after Indianapolis and Davenport had been considered as night controls. The exact route to be followed on the out
going and returning trips was left In the hands of a committee which will report at the next meeting, but It was
decided to go to Fort Wayne by way
of Laporte and Fymouth. Laporte will
be the noon control on the first day,
when about 175 miles will be covered.
On the second day a more direct route
will be followed, making the total dis
tance of the match approximately 340
miles.
