GOBS WHALE BALL; HUMBLE BROOKLYN IN FIRSHILT, 6-1 Score Victory in Impressive Style, Slamming Rucker for Thirteen Hits.

When the Cubs can beat Nap Rucker by means of base hits, there's hope of many future victories. Jn a. manner thrilling and impressive the west aiders whaled thirtee nhits for a total of eighteen bases off the famed southpaw yesterday and copped the opening game of the series with Brooklyn, 6 to 1.

Such a result leads one to think Mr.

Rucker must have been terribly ill, but to all appearances he was enjoying his customary measure of health and etrength. and worked in his usual form. However, he had difficulty in keeping the ball away from the bats of the aspirins: Trojans and at the same time Retting: it over the plate.

From the"lirst to the seventh inninp

they batted him hard and often. Six

slams were recorded in the first two

rounds and enough runs scored right there to win the game. Rucker stuck to the task and tried all the "stuff" in

his repertoire, finally solving the prob If m in the last inning. At least no

body pot on in the last attempt, but

by that time the game was sewed up.

O'CONNOR ASKS

$25,000 DAMAGES

St. Louis. Mo., June 13. John J,

O'Connor, manager of the St. Louis Federal league baseball team, has retained attorneys to file suit In the

Federal district court to test the legality of the organization of organized baseball. The petition will ask $25.000 damages for O'Connor's banishment from organized baseball, and will name all of the eight clubs in the American league as defendants. The petition, which already has been prepared, charges that the national baseball agreement is a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The petition attacks the legality of the "reserve clause" in baseball contracts, by which a team can hold a player In reserve after his contract has expired. The petition charges that the baseball leagues have bought and sold men as chattels, and has denied to players the right to earn a living in the business for which they have been trained. One of the attorneys in the case said "the sut would be filed Saturday or Monday.

Apparently Cinching the Game at Start of Play.

OLD MIKE MITCHELL ISN'T THROUGH YET

Washington, 1. C, June 13. Washington knicked the White Sox out of third flace again yesterday by winning the first game af the series of four. 6 to 4. after the visitors had apparently cinched the thing In spite of a sad waste of good opportunities. Kddie Clcotte went along for five innings in steady fashion, the only run scored off him being due to a muff by Rath after retiring a runner at second. Then in the sixth Cicotte wilted under pressure and the Senators knotted the count at four runs apiece by the scratchiest kind of hititng, although Manager Callahan tried to steam the tide by calling Jim Scott to the rescue with one out and the Sox still a lap to the good in that fatal sixth. Death Valley Jim succeeded in checking that rush. The Sox had a chance and Scott probably would have gone to a finish with Bob Groom had not George Weaver cut in with his daily error In a pinch, opening the door to the winning run in the ninth inning.

CLABBY TO FIGHT M'GOORTY TODAY

Mike Milche'l. Old Mike Mitchell still is contir.u

ng to prove that there are many years

of baseball in him yet by giving Man

ager Evers of the Chicago Cubs the best that is in him in a batting and

fUlding line. The former Cincinnati

star outer gardener has hit the ball at

a .270 clip for the minions of Charles

W. Murphy this year, which is still a

few points under his last year's aver

age, when he hit for .283. His fielding.

too, has been up to the standard.

Hammond Fans Await News of Second Battle. Miner's day will the largest event of the year at Butte. Mont., today, and the program will commence at 10 o'clock this morning when Jimmy Clabby of Hammond snd Kddie McGoorty of Oshkosh, Wis., will straddle the ropes to settle their second meeting with a fast ten-round decision fight. They will weigh in six hours before the

fight and according to the articles of

agreement the two title seekers will

be compelled to awaken at 4 o'clock

and tip the beam at 1SS pounds. Although it is not definitely known

whether Clabby and McGoorty have

been signed up, word came from Clab

by's training camp yesterday that it ia

thought the Oshkosh demon will pu8

in his appearance. If not the fans will not be disappointed as Clabby will be pitted against some clever western welterweight who is ' in readiness

should McGoorty fail to show up.

Fans in this region are eager that

Clabby's opponent will be McGoorty as

they want to hear the results of their

give McGoorty a good lacing, as in

their first fight Clabby had the best

of nearly every session. Fight follow

era of Hammond and vicinity are of the opinion that McGoorty is trying to sidestep Clabby, as he fears that he may lose his hold on the welterweight title. Clabby is expected back home shortly after the fight, when It may be

possible that he may be matched with
