Columbus 3-3; Toledo 2 7. .' St. Paul-Kansas City Rain. ' Yesterday was a great day for baseball. Double headers were played in most cases in both of the big leagues and local lovers of the sport are rejoicing over the fact that In practically every instance their favorites won. In no case did the teams split even In the double header,' but one team won both games wherever. two games were played. ; This is a very unusual feature in baseball and rarely occurs. Perhaps the double header between Pittsburg and Chicago yesterday caused greater Interest among local fans than any other two games. The Cubs took both games from the Pirate3 by the Bcores of 6-3 and 6-2, thus increasing their fight for the National league pennant seventeen points. The race Is very exciting between these two teams and the result will apparently be in doubt until the final game is played. Cincinnati won a pair from St. Louis yesterday, 6-1 and 6-5. This puts the Reds in fourth place stronger than ever and practically cinches their hoM on the first division. Washington lost two to Philadelphia at the Quaker City. In the afternoon game the Athletics, after apparently losing the game batted out three runs in the ninth inning, tying the score. Another run in the tenth won the game 6 to 5. The morning game was a walk away, 8 to o ' t St. Louis lost a couple to Detroit by the scores of. 7-1, 0-8. Bush, shortstop for the Tigers, and a local favorite, made five errors in both games, the only errors made by Detroit. Ownle more than made op for his errors by getting a couple of hits in each game. By the Athletics and the Tigers each winning two games, the rivalry between these two teams grows all the better. Several Richmond people went to Indianapolis yesterday and saw Indianapolis take two from Louisville, 3-2, 7-1. The Champs have been playing consistent ball recently and have been steadily climbing the ladder. A short time ago they were in last place, but by winning two yesterday they now occupy fourth position. AIIDERSflf (I MAN Wins Tennis Tournament After Playing Hard the Whole Day Through. HANDICAP EVENT SUCCESS Guy Anderson, a class 2 man in the City Tennis association won the championship yesterday afternoon, owing to his excellent playing combined with his unlimited amount of endurance. He had , played seven sets before meeting Will Reller in the finals and in this match he lost the first Ntwo seta by the scores of 2-6 but pulled , together and won the remaining three by scores of 6-4. 8-6 and 6-2. . The results of the other games during the day were as follows: - Campbell, scratch, beat McDivltt, class 4, 9-7, 4-6, 6-3; Reller, class 1, beat Campbell, scratch man, 6-4, 6-3; Anderson, class 2, beat Sherman, class 1. 6-V t-3; Smith, class 4, 6-0, 6-4 and Lahrman. class 4, 6-4, S-6, 6-2.

"I decline to be held responsible for the varying stories of my" interview with the correspondents at Copenhagen, and am sure that if the interview was telegraphed as given, it would be found to agree with and sustain in every detail my story of the discovery of the North Pole. "While retaining the highest respect for the courageous explorers who are unconvinced, I decline to engage in a controversy with them, their friends or members of their families."

COIlDITHfffi George Sheets, Who Lost Both Legs, Getting Along Nicely at Hospital. THE AMBULANCE CRITICISM George Sheets, the young brakemai from Xenia, Ohio, who bad both his legs cut off in the Pennsylvania railroad yards, Sunday night, is reported today as getting along nicely. Sam Roberts, driver of the ambulance, seems to think that the statement made by the physicians to the effect that the proper care was not given to Sheets when he was placed in the ambulance, applied directly to him. Such is not the case, however. Roberts la merely the driver and Is not supposed to act in the capacity of a physician, as he was not even notified of the extent of the man's injuries until his arrival at the hospital. The physicians were simply deploring the fact that an extra man was not sent along, to administer medical aid to the injured man and attend to his injuries while enroute to the institution. Satire.
