"BORER BY WEAVER . GIVES MACKS CREW VICTORY OVER SOX

New York, Aug. 23. New York la reaping vengeance these days for the things the Cubs did in the good old days of '06. '07 and '08. The Giants romped away with another easy victory, 8 to 1. and made Evers' boys ap- ' pear so helpless that one with a heart would feel sorry. Apparently no one in the grand stand had .a heart, for It seemed every person" took extreme delight 'in, crow

ing. The Cubs got their 'lone run In 'the first inning. After that the Giants tied the count In he second and romped awayln he third, never being. In dange ragaln. 1 Larry Cheney was on the slab and . for that reason a battle was expected, .but the bttle only lasted about fifteen , minues. Then Cheney ook a beating, . retiring after four rounds, when the , game seemed hopelessly lost. Big Jim Vaughn took his place, making his , debut as a National league athlete, and .the Giants caused him much distress, In spite of the fact that the big southpaw seemed to have a lot of stuff.

M 'DONALD BEATEN FOR GOLF TITLE Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 23. Winning the thirty-eighth hole by a most wonderful lucky mashie shot, Phil

Stanton of Kent took first honors from

J. U. McDonald of Wheaton yesterday

' afternoon in the championship flight of

the Kent Country club's invitation tournament.

The young Chicagoan had come up

from 2 down for the forenoon's play,

and by game, uphill play came even at : the thirty-second hole then went ahead

at the thirty-fifth, only to be tied at

: the thirty-sixth. The nex was halved

bu at the thirty-eight hole Stanton, the Micigan state champion, holed on a fifty-yard approach winning the hole

and match.

"The worst bonehead play I ever

saw" I didn't see the Merkle play happened in yesterday's game between

White Sox and Athletics at Comlskey park. It was in the eighth Inning and

"Tex" Russell had the better of Byron

Tlouck In a swell pitchers' battle by

the small margin of 1 to 0. The Athletics had Oldring on third. Eddie Col

lins on first, two out, and, Mclnnis at

bat.

Mclnnis Is a bad man to have up in

a pinch, but Russell put two strmes on him, neither of them good balls, so Manager Mack switched to the double

steal In the hope of tying the score.

Collins drew a throw to second. Weav

er took the ball and dived to the base, tagging the runner, but not until Collins had hit the bag, according to Umpire Connolly, who, motioned "safe." Oldring could have scored from third while Weaver was flat on the ground mixed up with Collins, but stuck to his corner.

Jockey Robblns was the shining light at the . Mineral Springs race track yesterday . afternoon. Robblns

had a mount In every race on the card.

He was unplaced In the first race, ran second in the second and won the last

four. The boy's riding was a feature of the day's sport and his victories were popular. In the feature race at one mile Robblns had the leg ,up on

Defy from the stable of his father.

Defy and Cloud Chief were made equal

favorite In the field of stx. Hogan1 sprung the barrier when the horses were all in motion. Tom Hayward, an outsider, got away first and led the field until the far turn. At that stage Robblns moved up to Tom, closely followed by Cloud .Chief. This was the order of the finish, as Defy romped home an easy winner, with Cloud

Chief second and Tom Hayward third. Old one-eyed Arclte, with his mean disposition, delayed the start In the first race almost half an hour. Arclte kicked the fence, kicked at Johnny Hogan and finally got so sore that he finally tried to kick himself. In the second race Dave. Nical had the leg up on Galley Slave, while Robblns covered Ithe leather on Mawr Lad.. Galley slave was the best at the end and won. going away from Mawr Lad,

second, and All Red. third. In the third race Tom Flynn's Golden Ramble was never given a chance with the field In which she was in and was entirely overlooked by the rail birds. Golden Ramble even surprised her owner by holding the favorite

Cosgrove, safe all the way and winning on the post by the shortest of heads.
