RUSSELL ALLOWS ORLYJNE SAFETY Hooper Swats Lone Single and White Sox Blank Boston Champions.

Indications are that "Tex" Hussell

will develop Into quite a baseball pitcher some day. ComIskeys sturdy southpaw gave an exhibition yesterday of the way he used to pitch for the

boys down in Bonham. Tex., and he didn't care a whoop because It was

the world's champions he was facing;,

He let them down with one lonesome hit. and the final score was. White Sor,

3; Boston, 0.

v The blgr boy hasn't looked as well

this season as he did In this game, and there have been times when he looked

swell, too. It was a hard hitting agr

frregatlon that faced him. rtot a man

in the champions' lineup is a weak hitter as a rule, but yesterday every one from first to last was exceedingly

weak.

Harry Hooper, leadoff man in the

batting order, scraped one out over second base at the start of the third tnnlg. That was the only hit made oft the young: star in the entire game. One fellow walked to first base during; the fray, and two others were hit by pitched balls. All the rest of them died natural deaths every time they went to bat.

CUBS IN DEFEAT AT-BROOKLYN. 9-2 Dodgers Finally Break Losing Streak by Trimming Trojans.

Brooklyn, N. Y., July 15. Having tried every other way to break the Dodgers' losing streak without success. President Ebets went out into the byways and hedges of Coney Island yesterday and gathered in a horde of

orphaned newsboys. They proved the right prescription for they rooted and mascoted his team into a 9 to 2 victory over the Cubs in the second game of the series, putting a little joy into the outlook for today's dedicatory business. There was no fluke about the victory. It was Brooklyn's game all the way, for the Dahlens pounded two out of three Cub hurlers wit hequal insistance, while Cliff Curtis, once a Cub himself, held the Trojans down to three hits, one of which was doubtful.

That sklmplness of swatting would j not have produced a tally for us if j

Curtis had not been afflicted with the old ailment which caused his separation from the Cub machine. He gave eight bases on ballH, spreading his generosity with great consistency throughout the game and a couple of his passes were mixed up with two of the hits. Otherwise the score would have hearkened like another case of a forfeited game.

Racing at the Mineral Springs track

at Porter yesterday took on a sembl

ance of what it used to be when the

sport was tolerated in Chicago. The crowd, which numbered probably 800

persons, displayed keen interest in the

running of the six events and the promoters of the track Installed a brass

band in the grandstand to entertain

between races.

The feature of the racing was the

great riding of young Jockey Steele. Steele rode rings around the other riders and piloted four of his money, one

race finding him In second plaoes.

while six races, and in none did he

finish outside the money, one race find

ing him in second place, while another

saw him grab the show coin. Steele

got the most out of his mounts by a

clever display of Jockeyshlp. Jookey

Van Dusen won two races not taken

by Steele, so between the two tbe;j

cieanea up me cara.

Only one favorite rewarded its backers, and that didn't happen until the running of the last race, when Steele b rough his mount. Mlssle, under the

wire half a dozen lengths in front. It

was so easy for Mlssle that she could

have won by half a block had she not

been pulled up.

New York, July IS. Replying to the frequent criticism of the National

League umpires by several of his olub

owners. President T. J. Lynch yester

day made the following statement:

"The umpiring in the National

League this season has been as good, if not better, than at any time in the last

four years. ' I am satisfied with the ability, integrity and personal character of the members of my umpire staff, and I want to go on record positively

as saying that not one of these men is going to be made the scapegeat for the fancied grievances, headless ac

tions or poor playing of any ball club.

"The time and money it has taken to

build up this staff is not going to be nullified by the absolutely unjustified

criticisms of several disappointed club

owners. " I am especially well pleased with the work of young Mr Quigley. He has the ability and temperament, and with a little more major league

experience I feel confident that he will

develop into a high class official.

"In case that my position has been misunderstood in any quarter I wish

to starts again, and finally, that unless

illness or a violation of instructions makes it necessary there will be no

change this season in the personnel of

the present umpire staff."

COL. MOUNTAINS

Glenwood Springs. Colo., July 15.

The' Indiana tourists en route to Call-

fornla over the proposed Lincoln national highway reached this city yesterday afternoon after an interesting

run from Sulphur Springs.

The run was through the fold's most

beautiful scenery, the canon of the

Grand, and there was a thrill every minute. Twenty miles of the road was along the shelved rocks of the moun

tains, where a sllfrht mistake meant a

fall of hundreds of feet.

Five miles east of Eagle, B. M.

White, a ranchman, who with his wife came out to meet the party, lost con

trol of his car on a hairpin turn, hit

the rocks on one side of the narrow

road, and the car slipped over the

steep embankment on the opposite side.

Mr. White Jumped and was uninjured.

but his wife rolled down with the car at least forty feet. The automobile finally aetled bottom side up against

another rock. Mrs. White escaped serious injury, but was badly bruised from head to foot. The rock saved the car from rolling to the bottom of the pass. The tourist doctors. Sexton and Strickland, atetnded to the injured woman, who was aken to her home.

SEEK TO CUT

DOWNGOLP FIELD

New York, July 16. A qualifying or

elimination round preliminary to the national open golf championship at Brookllne, Mass.. Sept. 17 and It, is be

ing considered by the executive ef the

United States Folf association, with a

view to cutting down the entry list.

This list has not yet been made up, but

the experience of last year, when there

was a great congestion, has suggested the desirability of some method to keep this year's field within smaller propor

tions. It hae become a practice for professionals all over the country to

attend the open tournament and to make a sort of holiday out of the

event. Discrimination against this

class of players, who retard the real business of the championship, has be

come a knotty problem.
