CUBS VS. DODGERS

IN OPENER TODAY Evers and Zimmerman Expect to Serve Time for Trouble in N. Y. New York, Aug. 26. If the best part of the Cubs' ball team isn't suspended today for the fussing at the Polo grounds Saturday, they will go into the Brooklyn series with strong hopes of taking at least two out of three games and thus making the entire Invasion of the east one of success. Manager Evers and Heine Zimmerman expect telegrams from President Lynch in the morning telling them they may have to serve time for the trouble they made in Saturday's game. Indications ar that both will have to r.crve time, although Evers may escape because he hurried off the field on the gallop when ordered to go, while Heine made a regular spectacle of his expulsion. Only three games are booked for Brooklyn, then the boys play two with Pittsburg on the way home. They can lose three of the five and then finish (he trip with air even break in eighteen games. Losing three straight to the Giants was a sad blow to Evers and his men, who were on the way to make a record trip. Until they hit the Polo grounds they had won seven and lost three. Now their record is seven won and six lost. VICTOR IN FLESH AND SPIRIT Montgomery City, Mo., Aug. 25.

GRIFFS BEAT SOX BY FLUKE HIT, 2-1

Score Two Runs Off Scott in Fifth Round, When Bodie Loses Ball in Sun. ' Mi' 1 SgS One measly fluke was all that kept the White Sox from terminating Walt Johnson's string of winning games and prolonging Jim Scott's in yesterday's first of three clashes between Chicago and Washington. Ping Bodie lost an' easy fly in the sun and it dropped safely at his feet, letting In two runs insead of retiring the side. Final count, 2 to 1 It required two flukes to give the White Sox their lone tally. If Clyde m South Shore Gut Milan had been able to hold John Collins drive after choslng It in the teeth of the wind, and if Eddie Foster had not diverted Kuhn's easy bounder from the waiting mitts of George McBrlde, the Callahan's would have been blanked. With these accidents eliminated. It would have been a runless draw between the two slabmen as far as it, went and they looked as if they could have gone on until dark without I faltering. Johnson went to the slab , with a string of thirteen straight victories behind him and Scott tackled the job with five straight on his slate. TONNERMAN MATCHED Dixon, 111., Aug. 25.

JEFFRIES' DOPE STORY CREATES ST1RJH COAST McCarey and Others Ready to Believe Heavyweight Was Dragged. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 25. The Jeffries dope story will not down. On the contrary, whereas, there was a disposition to scoff at It when It was first sprung, a recent renewal of the claims of foul practices in connection with the Reno fight has brought about series discussions from which it Is gathered that many believe that Jef fries was really a victim of dastardly work. Jeffries himself Intimates that he will make disclosures before long that will startle the world. Meanwhile, he, in a measure, verifies the report sent out by Bob Edgren of New York sporting writer, to the effect that hired sleuths ran the thing down and placed Jeffries in possession of facts which show he was drugged by a man whom he considered his closest friend, and that other supposed cronies made scads of money by betting on Johnson. Down in Los Angeles, Promoter Mc Carey and other prominent sports are saying that they are quite satisfied Jeffries was "got at." According to McCarey, Big Jim was so much under the influence of some form of "drowsy syrup" when he was making his way ringward that he lurched hither and thither and bumped Into the moving picture machine. It is terribly late in the day for Jeff to be gettng ready to unbosom himself in regard to a conspiracy so vile, and it is to wonder, too, that McCarey and the others didn't voice their opinion and suspicions before. In his latest denouement Writer Ed gren adduces certain things which, while they have no immediate bearing on the dope story, suggesting that every emergency likely . to militate against Jeffries chances of winning were taken advantage of. For instance, It is urged that a well-known sport took Jeffries fishing the day before the match and kept him standing so long In the water that Jeffries took a chill. OLYMPIC FUND , GROWS SLOWLY London, Aug. 25. The great Olympic fund of $500,000 is not rolling up as fast as the promoters expected. An appeal for this amount, to provide adequately for the British team at the Olympic games in Berlin In 1916. was Issued, on August 17. It was signed by Earl Grey, Lord Roberts, the Duke of Westminister and many other prom inent men, but only 325,000 has been subscribed in the first week. Of this 310,000 was subscribed by Lord Northcliffe and $5,000 by the Duke of Westminister. Sir Thomas LIpton and H. G. Selfridge each contributed $500. The project has met strong opposition, notwithstanding that Lord Roberts' name, which headed the appeal. Is lsual'ly the most potent Influence any patriotic cause can have. Most of the criticisms are made on the ground that wholesale subsidizing of athletes would foster professionalism and be contrary) to the wholesome traditions of British sport. ' Some of the sharpest thrusts have reference to attempted "Americanization" of sport. Some of the critics assert that more Britishers engage In sports than any other people, but they do so for recre ation and not with the sole object of winning contests. They profess to believe the American spirit is to win by any means, an dthat American athletes care more for prises and medals than for sport. COMBINATION. Toa eaa anoke aad Covatry Clmh."
