HUBBELL WINS FINAL GAME FOR PHILLIES; REDS SHUT OUT 1-0
CINCINNATI, Aug. 18. A shut-out was banded to the Redlegs at Redland field Thursday afternoon in the final same of the series -with Philadelphia. Wilbur Hubbel was responsible for the 1 to 0 score in favor of the Phillies. The hurler not only twirled a fine game, but came in for a timely twobadger. Jake Daubert and Lew Fonseca were the only members of the Reds to solve the delivery of Hubbell to any extent, tnd even when these two hit, the remainder of the line-up could not produce anything which would send the runs around the bases. Fonseca Singles.
In th seventh. Fonseca led off with
a sin tie and advanced 4 base on Pi
relli's single to the box. . Harper wa3
sent in to bat for Caveney, the theory being that a left-handed batter might break up Hubbell's great defense. The best that Harper could do was to roll to Parkinson at Becond, and Wingo did the same thing, leaving the runner stranded. After -Burns and Daubert had singled in the eighth, Duncan had the chance of his life to produce, there being but one down, but the Red left fielder bit into a double play. Couch in Form. John Couch hurled good ball all the way, allowing but four hits, but it was

NEWCASTLE, Ind., Aug. 18. All track records for the 2:12 pace were broken here Wednesday when Billy J. K., owned by Bruce Johnson of Rushville, made the second heat in 2:064. This time is exceeded only by a record made by Single G against time of 2:04 for the same distance.
Billv .T. K lsr won the first and
third heats with time of 2:09 and J 2:1014. The horse was driven in the
second heat to break the record as a result of a disagrennent between the owner and the driver, the latter of whom pushed the horse even after he had the heat easily won. As a result the horse will be disqualified for the 2:12 class herafter. Johnson tried to escape the record by drawing the horse after the second heat, claiming sickness, but veterinarians who examined him denied the claim. The, horse may be barred from several races in later fairs, for which liberal prize money is oitered, as a result of his record. Six heats were necessary to decide the 2:40 trot. It was won by L. E. C, owned by J. F. Jones, of Memphis.

1,283 games. He went into 27 other games as pinch hitter. His batting average for the entire span was .254 and his fielding stood at the remarkable high mark of .980. Fate was kind to Schalk when It picked him to star. For he has spent his big league career in his home state, Illinois. Ray was born in Harvel, 111., Aug. 12, 1892.- He was playing for Taylorville in the I. and M. league Aug. 12. 1911, (his birthday you'll note) when Milwaukee offered the Taylorville club 700 bucks for him. It was his first season in pro ball and the "great opportunity" almost stunned Schalk. His work the-next two seasons with
the Milwaukee Brewers made him the most sought for player in the minors. Big league clubs bid for him and the Sox finally got him for what was then an enormous price $17,000 and four players. He has taken part in over 100 games for nine campaigns, which is believed to be a record for big league catchers.

So Nelson and the wise men of the prize ring thought the affair would be little more than a stiff workout for
the king of lightweights. They laid 3 to 1 that WTolgast would lose and some of the most ardent of Nelson's admirers put up 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 that the "Michigan Wildcat" couldn't survive the scheduled 43 rounds. Wolgast dldnt want any of those bets nor did his friends. They wanted to wager that Bat wouldn't put him away within 25 round3. When they located a gambling clique

Throwing caution and science to
the four winds, he tore into the Dane, both hands flying; both hands beating a ceaseless, merciless tattoo upon the face and body of Nelson. He met the Battler at his own game that of give and take sluggery and he punched Nelson into the most pitiful wreck of a human that California ever has seen. -Whatever Nelson was in durability, in ability to take punches in energy and in vigor, Wolgast was that afternoon and ten times more.
