1 3 CARS ENTERED ' FOR ELGIN RACES Burman and Dawson Will Compete in Auto Speed Events Next Week
JEFFRIES 'DOPE' STORY REGULAR ASANY COMET Naughton Comments on Reappearance of Charges Made After Battle.
"Bob" Burman, world-famous driver of automobiles, made his entry for the big Elgin automobile race yesterday, and will be one of 'the contestants fr the Elgin trophy to be raced for on Saturday, August 30, making thirteen nominations for this Important race. Another entrant of fame who placed his name on the list yesterday was "Joe" Dawson, winner of the 50C-mlle race at Indianapolis In, 1912. Dawson will drive the Dental car In the Friday race, and probably again on Saturday. Harry Endlcott will drive his slx-cyllnder Nyberg In the Saturday contest, his name being received today. Burman will drive the same Keeton
car with which he astonished the 100,000 spectators at Indianapolis on Decoration day. He Is out to win and spectators are sure to witness bursts of speed when Burman meets such drivers as Dawson, Endicott, De Palma, Wlshart and the other dare-devils who have been nominated for the race. Chairman J. W. Magulre of the ticket committee announced yesterday that the tickets for the grand stand are selling fast, and that parking: spaces are going faster than ever before In the history of the Elln races. This indicates that the roads to Elgin will be crowded with motor car parties on the days of the great western contests.
PHILS CHECK CUBS; SIRGLE BY MAGEE BRINGS JEFE AT, 3-1 Three Errors in Third, Followed by Bingle, Result in Two Runs.
Philadelphia, Pa,, Aug. 21. The merry winning clip of the ferocious Cubs was brokyi yesterday. The Trojans played a luckless and erratic game and handed the victory to the depressed Phillies by a count of 3 to 1. Plenty of base hits were made by the Cblcagoana, but only one of the eleven came when It drove a man hom'e. Nine athletes were left helpless, on the bases for want of timely swats. To make It worse the Cubs handed the game to " the'local team through blunders 'on the Infield. Three mistakes were bunched - in one round along with two hits by Dooln's boy, and right there the game was tossed away. Jim Lavender hurled against Ad Brennan, and Jim had the better of It as far as hurling went, but that didn't win for him. He allowed only seven hits, but one was a four baser by the illustrious clouter "Gabby" Cravath, and another was a timely single by the repentant Sherwood N. Magee. Thoe two blows did the business, for
when Mr. Magee made his there were
anxious runners on second and third and both came home.

Desperate Slide After Triple
and Sacrifice Fly Net Lone Run of Game.
San Francisco, Aug. 21. Of all the sporting scandals that have vexed the world from time to time, the Jeffries "dope" story Is the most tenacious. It Is as regular In Its appearance as Haley's comet, but it lacks one saving
grace the comet possesses. It doesn't
stay .away worth a cent. It bobs up
when least expected. It it. with us again, now, and it is
even said that many of Jeffries' towns
men in Los Angeles who pooh-hooed the thing when it was first mooted that it. shortly after the Reno dis
aster are beginning to take stock in
It. Some one in New York has revived it and has furnished a few brand new particulars of a notably interesting kind. It Is said that Jeffries hired detectives to run down the story and that the sleuths have placed big Jim in possession of all the sordid facts. If Jeffries cared to tell he could unfold
a narrative that for blood curdling affects would cause the ghost's dlsalos- i ures to Hamlet to sound like a lullaby. It is claimed that Jeffries has learned to his disgust that It was the men of his camp he trusted most who addressed the drowsy potion to him. Then they went and bet on the other fellow Jack Johnson. If Jeffries has anything like that up his sleeve he should take the public into his confidence. It isn't right to shield such miscreants. It would be interesting to learn if the detectives discovered what kind of dope was used. There are so many, you know. There's the good old poppy Juice that causes its frayed devotees to write checks for millions while under Its Influence and there are laudanum and chloral and what not.
In the horse racing game there is a
slow dope which causes the nags to loiter and jt fast dope which impels them to hurry.
Senator Jim Scott, intrepid Wyoming nlmrod, and George Buck Weaver of Pottstown, Pa., gave Boston's world's champions their third straight licking on the White Sox park yesterday and sent the mout of town without a game to their name in the last series here. The score was the absolute minimum by which victory can be obtained, 1-0. Scott held the Red Sox to three skimpy, unneighborly singles and had to extend himself only twice during the afternoon. Three visitors worked Jim for three passes, making six in all to reach first bas. Two of them ventured as far as second and one reached thtrd. There were two out when the most venturesome visitor sneaked around to the last bag, and he landed there on a wild chuck to first by Scott. Just for that Scott struck out Mundy. Speaker was the other visitor who reached second, and he was there with only one out. but Scott disposed of Gardner and Yerkes.

, A car containing the pacers Vernon McKlnney, 2:01 Vs, and Joe Patchen III., 2:034, -the trotter San Felipe, 2:09, and a 2-year-old filly by Gen. Watts, together with their attendants, reached Chicago yesterday from Detroit and then was forwarded to the Dean training establishment at Palatine. The horses are owned by R. J. Mackenzie, the Canadian railroad builder, and have been members of the Geers stable, racing on the grand circuit. All of them, however, came down with the prevailing influenza, and as the fast record pacers had not many engagements and all four were greatly weakened by the dlsase. it was decided to ship them direct to Plea&anton, Cal.,
where Mackenzie owns the mile track
and a lot of adjacent property.
At Palatine, where a stop of two days will be made, three trotters the
3-year-old colt Spriggan by Baron Mc
Kinney, a 3-year-old filly by The Harvester, and a 2-year-old colt by Trampfast will be added to the consignment, all going to California by express. Mackenzie has other horses on the
grand circuit, among them Creosote of
the Ray stable, and Bertha Carey in
Geers' string, and It is understood that
at the close of the campaign they; like wise, will be sent west.

WORLD SERIES
TO BE CLOSE St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 21. Basing his
prediction on the assumption that the Giants and Athletics will be the con
tenders, Frank Chance forecasts a remarkable struggle for world's championship honors this autumn. "The leaders of the two leagues appear to be evenly matched," said Chance, in discussing the teams, "and I look for
a close, exciting series. In my opinion
the winning club will be the one that gets the early 'breaks' In the play.
You can't eliminate the 'breaks' in
baseball, and in a series as Important and as Bhort as the world's champion
ship. It always has proved a prominent
factor."
UHLAN FAILS TO
LOWER MARK Goshen, N. Y.. Aug. 21. Uhlan, own
ed by C. K. G. Billings, failed in an attempt to do better than 2:02V. his own best mark and the. world's record
for a half mile track, at the ooenlnz
of the light harness meet yesterday. When he had stepped the half in :59 it looked as If he would lower the record by two seconds.. As he made the turn into the second lap he stumbled
and then broke, but was on his feet
again, and his time at the finish was 2:03. Uhlan, it was learned, had stepped into his quarter boot and wrenched hind leg.

especially groomed for the race against Haff and he is reported to be digging the cinders at a record-break
ing clip. When Hannes Kohlemainen scored his Olympic victories last summer much stress was put upon the system of massagu used by the Champion Finn. The question of rubbing however, is still an open one. There are many athletes who are not strong for massage. George Bonhag, the greatest
dlstancers ever developed in this country, never thought of eing rubbed either before or after his races. Billy Queal Is another champion who can run fast without massage. RACING.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 21. Chicago's representatives in the annual Kent Country club's invitation golf tournament got away strong yesterday in the morning qualifying round, with the result that of the sixteen In the championship flight half were from the Windy City. Not only that, but of the
eight who lived through the first tussle four were Chlcagoans and thus get into today's play. Raymond Russell of the Detroit
Country club made low score In the
qualifying round and thus won the gold medal hung up by the hosts. j The day was ideal, with the exception of an east wind that kept the tallies a bit high, but every Indication Is for quiet weather today and there should be some good golf result. Eighty was the low score in the preliminary round yesterday morning and 100 or better qualified. At these figures five flights of sixteen each placed and the first round was played off yes- j terday afternoon. I
