IP'S FORFEITURE GIVES MDS'GAME Riot and Disorder Mark Finish of Second Farce; Evers Target of Jeers. There was riot and disorder at the west side ball park yesterday when the Cubs forfeited the second game of a double-header to St. Louis after turning It Into one of the worst farces ever seen on a ball field. The Cubs won the first game, 6 to 0. and It was agreed to call the second grame at 5 o'clock so the Cardinals could catch an early train for Boston It was 3:45 o'clock when the second contest was started. In the opening inning- St. Louis scored three runs after exhausting: fifteen minutes or more of the time. Immediately the Cubs purposely be gan delaying the game, with the hope that 5 d'clock would come before five Innings could be finished, thereby avoiding defeat, for in that case it would not be a complete game. CLEVELAND TRIMS CALLAHANS TWICE Errors Behind Cicote Give Naps Verdict in Opening Battle, 6 to 2. Cleveland. O.. July 7. An awful bump befell the White Sox yesterday. wnen they were licked at both ends nd In the middle of their doubleheader with the Naps. The numerical elie of the double disaster was 6 to 2 and 7 to 0. The Callahans might have obtained an even break In the curtain raiser If they had not booted away so many fielding chances. They managed to cop two runs, and that Is as many as Cleveland ought to have had. However, the Sox had no license to get more than a draw out of this encounter, and they never were in the second game at any time or place. The Sox tapped Falkenberg as hard and as often as the Naps got to Clcotte In the first battle. Cy was getting almost perfect support, with an occasional scintillating bit of work behind him, while Eddie was given backing that made a noise like a leaky sieve. Only three errors were made behind him, to be sure, but two of them were soft chances and all three of them were quite expensive. MARTY 0T00LE NEAR DEATH Pittsburgh, Pa., July 7.

,s V ... s I i EAST CHICAGO OP The East Chicago baseball team won its second game from the Chicago Magnets on the East Chicago grounds yesterday, by a score of 2 to 0, which was precisely the same score by which it won the previous game with, these opponentsFor some time now a suspicion has , ! been gently percolating through the - minds of East Chicago fans that longlegged Cy Young was not plentifully endowed with the milk of human kindness, and his treatment of the nice young men (and good ball players, too) who composed the Magnets, crystalized this suspicion into a conviction yesterday. Besides being hard hearted Cy is an old stingy pig. He wouldn't let the visitors have but two hits, and these two considerably scattered. One was In the fifth Inning, while the other occurred in the sixth, but followed on the heels of two strikeouts and was itself followed by the third strike-out of the inning. Mr. Young believes in striking terror into the hearts of his opponents early in a game and with this end in view fanned the first three men that faced him without any one of them having touched the ball with his bat Without doubt Mr. Young occupied the most prominent position in the spotlight yesterday. But he wasn't the whole show even at that. Houston, who was in the box for the Magnets, also did some clever work. The home team was able to bunch two of their five hits made by them in the game in the second inning, which, coupled with a neat sacrifice, resulted in the first run. The other run was due entirely to errors made. by the Magnets' Infield. Outside of the third Inning Houston had the locals guessing. While he didn't strike out anything like the number of men that Young did, the latter having sent fourteen to the bench by the fanning process, he nevertheless pitched good ball, and with less formidable talent opposing him, he would have won the game. The outfielders on both teams also seemed to be on their best behavior yest I circ terday and some of them even did reus stunts. Boone, the visitors'

right fielder, on two occasions after catching the ball fell down and turned a. few somersaults, but always arose with the ball in his hand. Ullman for East Chicago, while he did not take ' a chance on any acrobatics, grabbed off a few base hits. One in particular which he caught going at full speed over his shoulder may possibly have saved the day. One can never tell. Had 1( gotten away it would have been nothing short of a three-bagger for the visitors. Shortstop Schreiner pulled one of those over-the-shoulder running catches, too. He had to. He made an error in the preceding inning and his wife, who sat in a box Just back of the East Chicago players' trench, reminded him when he came off the field that shg hadn't muffed the play. She was accompanied by Mrs. Young and Mrs. Bradlng. The attendance was rotten numerically and East Chicago ought to be ashamed of itself. The team is a crackerjack and is worthy of splendid patronage. They are as well known in Chicago today as any semlpro team in that city and are far better appreciated there than at home. It is to be hoped that on next Sunday, when East Chicago meets Gary, there will be at least a small scattering of East Chlcagoans among the four hundred fans whom the Gary manager promises will accompany his boys to this city.

London, July 7. The international lawn tennis championship matches were Inaugurated when Dwight Davis of the United States offered the 1,500 cup for competition among the nations. The rules governing the matches are that four singles and one double match shall be played between the teams of the contesting nations. Either two, three or four men may be nominated to represent a nation. In the first event both players appear in tn singles and doubles. ,In any event the system works out admirably, as one man cannot win a Davis cup match off his own bat, since the doubles makes the odd trick. America lost the Davis cup to England inv the days when the brothers Doherty were in their prime. Since then the big rose bowl has traveled rather extensively in Australasia. Mr, Brookes and I managed to win the cup from England in 1907, although we considered that.ur toughest match was against Beals C. Wright and Kari Behr of America in the elimination round. For some years we kept the coveted prize, but last winter the Parks - Dixon - Beamish combination won a surprisingly fine victory . for England.

Nearly all of the horses who have made a name for themselves on the grand circuit and many who are being brought out this year are now quartered at the North Randall track.
