New York, Aug. 28. The eastern in

vasion of the Cubs came to a close yesterday wit hanother victory over the lowly Brooklyn Dodgers, thus mak

ing a clean sweep of the series and

winding up the Journey with a splendid record. The score was 3 to 0.

Not only did the combat mark the

defeat of the Cubs' former star hurler.

Kd Reulbach. but it brought about a

pretentious debut for big Jim Vaughn

the latest addition to the pitching

staff. Big Jim was better than Big Ed in the tight places and came out with

a sparkling victory..

Both pitched gallantly for a few in

nlngs, getting out of several bad places, but In the seventh Reulbach

blew." A single by Vaughn himself

started all the fuss, and before Big Ed

could regain his composure a sacri

flee, a base on balls and two triples

followed. The attack was sufficient to drive home three runs and clinch the victory.

Reulbach gave way to a pinch hit

ter In the last of the seventh and Nap

Rucker finished the slab Job for him.

The Cubs did nothing with Nap's

southpaw stuff, but they had done plenty to Big Ed in one inning and

needed nothing more.

press the following opinions: "It has been my belief for several years that the playing rules are badly in need of recodifying. A convention should be held this winter along the lines indicated, so that in 1914 the playing rules can be enforced alike in both major leagues, and In all the socalled minor leagues operating under the national agreement.

COMISKEY'S PUN EETSJPPROWL

Baseball Men Favor Re

vision of Rules by Managers and "Umps."

Comment among baseball men on

the suggestion made by President Comiskey of the White Sox to turn the playing rules over to a convention of managers, umpires and newspaper men for revision has been almost unani

mously favorable. In the discussion provoked by the plan, some difference

of opinion as to details has been ex

pressed, but in the main the idea has been hailed as the best solution of the

difficulty yet suggested.

President Murphy of the Cubs In a

statement made yesterday strongly approved the main Idea, and added a few

suggesctlons of his own as to time and plice of holding the convention, but

questioned the advisability of some of

the details, such as the size of the proposed gathering. Between returns from the ticker on yesterday's battle between Jim Vaughn and Ed Reulbach the Cub president found time to ex-

AVIATOR'S FALL COSTS $25,000 London, Aug. 28. After covering 1,043 miles In his attempt to win the prize of $25,000 offered for a flight of 1,540 miles around the British Isles in a hydroplane and having broken all records for a flight over sea, Harry G. Hawker was the victim fef an accident on the Irish coa&t. The aviator was only slightly Injured, but his passenger, Kauper, was badly hurt. Hawker had trouble with his engine soon after starting from Oban, Scotland, and the dramatic end of the flight came when he was spiraling downward, Intending to alight at Loughshlnnlny, fifteen miles from Dublin, because his engine was not working to his satisfaction. The aviator's rubber soled shoe, which was covered with oil, slipped off the rudder bar and he lost control, the machine dropping like a stone. "It wasn't a side fall or a dive," said Hawker, telling about the mishap later. . "It was a flat, even drop. The hydroplane twisted right around as it fell and was smashed t pieces. , It wasn't the fault of thw machine or of

the engine, but Just a piece of ghastly bad luck." A few more miles would have brought Hawker to the Kingstown "control," where the maker of the en

gine he used was waiting with new valves and springs. If Hawker had known that he would not have made the descent at Loughshlnny. Hawker escaped with a few bruises and a rough shaking up. His passenger Kauper was entangled in the wreckage of the machine, his face being badly cut, his head and neck bruised, and one arm broken. He was taken to a hospital. If the prize had been won. It would have gone to Tom Sopwlth, who designed the hydroaeroplane and employed Hawker at a salary and 25 per cent of the prize money if he was successful. The Dally Mail in recognition of Hawker's skill and courage has made a special gift of $5,000 as a consolation prize.

"Bob" Burman, driving his big Keeton car at a pace of nearly a hundred miles an hour, dashed through a fence at Udina turn of the Elgin race course while giving his car Its first practice for Saturday's race. Spectators gasped with horror as the car left the road, but fortune was with the intrepid driver and he was not seriously injured and his car came through with equal good fortune. A second feature of yesterday's practice was Wishart's accomplishment with his Mercer car, the well-known driver making a lap of the fast course at an average of 74.5 miles an hour. This speed indicated to the "railbirds" that the races tomorrow and Saturday will produce speed such as has never been witnessed at Elgin. Wlshart made three successive laps In lss than seven minutes, two of them being faster than Tetzlaff's recordbreaking lap of last year, which was made In six minutes fifty-three seconds. Bill Anderson in his Stutz and Berg-

doll in his Erwin Special practiced for the first time, as did Burman in the Keeton. All three of these drivers are conceded a chance to win and their

performances in practice were closely watched. All three Nyberg cars have been barred from the races by an order from the American Automobile association, but no reason accompanied the instructions from Chairman Schimpf. This shuts out Harry Endlcott on both Fiid.-iy and Saturday Jtnd Madden on Saturday, reducing the number of prospective contestants to seven for the Chicago Automobile trophy, to be competed for on the opening day, and to fourte n for Saturday's competition for the Elgin National trophy. Elgin's entire population is awaiting the races with a fever of excitement, and never before have so many Chicago enthusiasts engaged advance sittings for a motor car contest. It is apparent that the well conducted races of the past at Elin have Impressed the public, and that the attendance on both days will exceed all previous records. While the Saturday race is attracting the most attention with the lay citizen, the experts anticipate a more attractive race on the opening day. This remains to be seen, but the class of drivers in either contest assures a fight to a finish for both trophies.

RITCHIE AND WALSH SIGN Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 28. Articles for the world's lightweight championship fight here between Willie Ritchie and Freddie Welsh for Sept. 20 were signed today. Forfeits will be posted tomorrow. Tom Griffith of San Francisco will be referee.
