Tex Russell, tha south side's southpaw Big Moose, without exacting anything unusual from his supporters, yesterday smeared whitewash all over the champions of the world from the hub of the universe. He had to do it, ,,for the best the Whita Sox could . do was to give him one run as a working margin. Tex finished, 1 to 0. Russell's task would have been a bit easier If the Callahans had not run babes with their fingers crossed at times, thereby wasting several promising chances to score. In fact, they would not have counted at all if Manager Carrigan had not Insisted, "by making a wild throw to second base, on which a run Just had to come In from third base. Carrigan made up. for that slip by outguessing the White Sox in every other move they made on the bases, wrecking their hit and run plays by calling for pltchouts so that he could flag the runners standing up. In the sixth Carrigan worked the old army game on no lesa a fox than Hal Chase, trapping him off third o na double steal by a bluff throw which went only to the pitcher.

DYER BOYS WALLOP CHICAGO HEIGHTS 1 The Dyer team gained another well deserved victory Sunday by defeating the Romans, a Chicago Heights team, by a score of 9 to 4. Both teams put up a good article of ball, only one error being chalked up against either team. Champagne again was on the mound for Dyer and had the Roman sluggers completely at his mercy. He also led his team In batting and base running, rapping out a three-bagger and a single, and stole twice. Warme. who held the initial sack for Dyer, also aided in the run getting by smashing out a timely three-bagger and a single. McAuley, playing second for Dyer, put up a brilliant game In the field, accepting many difficult chances without an error. A big crowd from Chicago Heights attended the game, rooting hard for a Roman victory, but found nothing but a lot of disappointment in store for them. It .was a nicely played and peaceful game, not a kick being made against any decision of either umpire.

JOCKEY WILSON IS

BARRED FOR LIFE Saratoga. N. Y.. Aug. 19. As was predicted the stewards of the Jockey club ruled oft Jockey Wilson for life, barred former Jockey Jimmy Reid from all tracks and handed out the same punishment to "Dollar John" Lemberg. This action was promulgated yesterday after the officials came to a full decision on the matter. This is the outgrowth of the investigation following "Dollar John's" claim that he was double crossed when Wilson rode home Naiad to victory at Belmont park, when the understanding was that he was to pull the filly. The decision of the stewards Is regarded as an indication of a sincere desire to promote cleanness in racing. Bradley's Choice yesterday showed he was of great' racing caliber, for shouldering 117 pounds he romped home In the Albany handicap with the invincible Gainer and Punchbowl In his wake. Gainer was an easy second and many thought Punchbowl was third. However, the Judges said It was Pan American. Bradley's Choice was well backed by westerners.

Newport, R. I., Aug. 19. Form and experience held sway yesterday In the first day's play for the national tennis title and there were no upsets registered. One after another the weaker players fell by the wayside while the national stars triumphed. The order of the day was straight sets for all of the stars, but others had some long drawn out battles that sent them to tha clubhouse thoroughly fagged out. r Prominent among these' was a German Baron. K. von Lersner, who defaulted In his match against E. C. Wilson when each had two sets and the baron led at 6 games to 4 and needed Just one point to score the winning set. He gave no explanation as to his sudden finish. The contest lasted two hours and a half. His brother. Baron H, von Lersner, handily defeated Louis H. Hobbs in three straight sets.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 19. A ninth inning stampede gave the ferocious Cubs another victory over the Phillies yesterday In what had been a desperate struggle. The final count was 10 to 4, and six of the ten runs were banged home in the last period. Not only was In the third straight from Dooln's militant gang, but it was the sixth victory In a row for the Trojans since dropping a double-header in Boston last week. That's some prowess for a team to be showing, especially a team counted out by every one. If Red Dooin had been more careful In the selection of pitchers and thought less about base hits he might have prevented defeat. In the eighth he took out a hurler who had the Cubs fussed and put in a guy to hit. Then he had to come back In the ninth with a new hurler, and he couldn't pitch worth shucks. When the ninth began the Cubs were hanging on desperately to a one run lead, but against the new fllnger they stampeded, every guy on the team getting a base hit. The lead was increased to seven runs, and clinched the victory beyond' a doubt.

SWIMS CHANNEL IN 9:20 Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 19. Nils Stenstroem, a Swede, yesterday swam across the sound from Lanskrona, Sweden, to Skodsborg, Denmark. The distance in a direct line is about ten miles, but Stenstroem had to contend with storm weather, a rough sea and strong currents, and took 9:20:00.

POLO CHALLENGE FOR NEXT YEAR London, Aug. 19. Lord Ashby St. Ledgers is organizing a polo team which will attempt to recover the international cup, now held by the United States, in 1914. He is arranging with the Hurlingham club to issue a challenge to the American Polo association.
