STANDING OF CLUBS.

QUAKERS STOPPED BY 'SMOKE' STACK

Ed Keulbach will have to pitch a peachuva game to make the recent Cub-Dodger trade look a good to Brooklyn as- W. Eddie Stock made it look to Chicago yesterday, when he let the Phillies down with four hits and helped the Cubs win the opening battle of the series by batting in two tallies himself, Final score, 5 to 2. For quite a spell the pair of runs due. to Stack's single in the second inning were all the Cubs could get off Seaton and were solely responsible for the fact the Trojans were out in front. Not until the sixth chapter did our boys get any more results from their endeavor. Then Long Cy "Williams, who has been basking in a lot of limelight of late, clinched the thing for Stack with a rattling three-base hit, which scored two pals. Thomas Leach, the other hsjlf of the long and short sketch, drove home the fifth run in the seventh with a triple which closely resembled Cy's.

Joe Fngel, the National hurler, was walloped out of the game in a thirdinning Btampede. Young Harry Harper, one of Griff's recent arrivals, undertook to stop that stampede. He is a southpaw with a springboard delivery. He had so much stun at times that the catcher couldn't even stop the ball. Backstop Henry had a finger injured tryin gto stop one.

WHITE SOX CRUSH SENATORS, 11 TO

Washington, D. C. Aug. 8. The Sox won a scrambled ball game from Grift's National yesterday and scored almost enough runs to have won all those others that were lost up in Boston and New York. The final count was 11 to .

Washington was allowed to get those

four runs In the eighth Inning while

Joe Benx was experiencing great dis

tress on the slab. He had an elevenrun lead, so really was in no danger.

Eddie Clcotte had been the hurler un

til the Sox go so many runs that the manager didn't care to have Eddie

wast any more of his strength. It was a most novel experience for Clcote to have his pals go out and get a lot of runs for him.

BUCKLEY'S BOXERS FEAR NONE IN RING

San Francisco, Aug. 8. Jim Buckley,

back in New York. 1& wroth because Willie Ritchie has thrown down Tom- j my Murphy for Freddie Welsh. ' The following telegram received ,

gives an idea of the way Buckley feels:

James Coffroth. San Francisco: We will take anybody for Murphy September, Will claim the title for Murphy, as Ritchie Is afraid to meet him. Will let you know about Gunboat Smith after Friday night contest with Jim Flynn. If we wlA we will box Langford for you Labor day. Let me know about Murphy for September. (Signed) JIM BUCKLEY. The notable thing about this is that it shows Buckley to be one of the most straightforward and consistent managers in the business. He has two

good men under his wing and he will send either of them against the best

opponent to be had.

Ad Wolgast Is authority for the

statement that his forfeit of $8,900, at present In the hands of Promoter McCarey of Los Angeles, was Increased

to 113.500.

"And it stands for my original proposition," said Ad. "I will bet Ritchie

$25,000 I can beat him, and one-half

the wager goes that I knock him out

inside twenty rounds. Let Ritchie oov

er the money and the balance will be

posted the instant he does."

Wolgast believes Ritchie will accept and that the bout will take place in

October or November.
