Boston, Mass., Aug. IS. Last year the Boston Braves were spoken of as

misfits and they had difficulty in winning games. This year under the management of George Stalllngs they are anything but misfits. They at least did not appear so in the doubleheader yesterday, for they trounced the Cubs twice by scores of 7 to 8 and 9 to 3. The double defeat was a bitter dose

it tumbled them into Also it was not a pleas

ant beginning for the Cubs on their final eastern Journey, and was far

from whal they expected. Going into the conflicts they had visions of getting off to a running start, meaning that they had hoped to take both games. But they spilled the beans by falling to present the air-tight pitching that Stalllngs' men did. It was either the weak hurling or the sturdy batting that beat the Cubs most likely it was the former, for it is not often that Larry Cheney and Eddie Stack suffer the locals to beat them as they did yesterday. Larry remained at hi stask until the eighth of the opener, but the former Brooklyn filnger was yanked after a frail attempt in the flrct four innings of the second fracas.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 13. By trim

ming the Big Macks in the final game of the series yesterday, thus making it three out of four, the aspiring White Sox wound up their, eastern Jaunt with much glory. The score was 4 to 2. As-in the first game of the series, Jim Scott and Ping Bodie played the leading roles. Scott was on the mound and hurled with a calm deliberation and a precision that was most admirable. In the tight places he was an artist at the Job. Ping Bodie started the boys oft in front with another home run clout over the left wall, making his third of the series here. After that home run Connie Mack used all the gray matter in his vet

eran brain in attempting to beat out the Sox. He took young Carroll Brown from the slab and put in his big bet.
