Just Naturally Beat the Cubs. It has been the custom of Manager Dahlen and other managers In this league to send in their reserve pitchers when the game was lost. Yesterday he nearly did the same thing, but not quite, nivd our boys won a game for which the Glints' rooters are much obliged. New York and Philadelphia are tied for first place to-day as the result of Brooklyn beating Chicago by 6 to 5, while Chicago Is third and Is trembling In its boots. The Cubs had four runs scored against them yesterday without a hit figuring in the proceedings, and the fans are wondering how it happened.

It is so customary for our boys to nuike runB from a whole pasBel of hits, that when they put the reverse English on the proposition there was a loud clamor from gents who have staked the Christmas money on the Cubs. Scanlon's Short Stay. Dr. Scanlon was the first choice for pitcher yesterday. The doctor lasted three and a third innings, if we remember correctly.

He gave a pass in the third inning, on which the ru was subsequently batted home. In the fourtn he got away In bad shape. Heine Zimmerman tripled and normally scored when Doyle singled to center. The doctor passed Joe Tinker and Manager Bill yanked our physician out of the box. it was the Becond time in the past few days that the doctor haB been pulled out in such a fashion, and each time the Superbas have won, while he has been credited with neither winning nor losing.

That leads us to the reflection that he be started in the box right frequently, mid maybe after a while we will pass Cincinnati and be all the way up to sixth place in the National League, where the air is much better. Three More Pitchers. Bell succeeded Dr. Scanlon, but was taken out In the fourth to allow Barger to bat for him. Schardt followed him and pitched until the opening of the ninth, when General Nap Rurker went in.

The score was tied and such is the kind of jobs assigned to General Nap. But that Nap party is there with his own Old Guard. He is the Grande Armee all by himself, is General Nap. In the ninth inning, with two on bases, General Nap called up the reserves and fanned Hof-man, Heine Zimmerman and Doyle in a row. Take it from a long suffering fan who has seen the Brooklyn pitchers fail In pinches, that was some heaving: Not one of the parties who whiffed is a poor sticker ordinarily, and they are not given to farting when the situation is Intense, but Nap had them on the run from the jump, and they never had a chance.

The demonstration by the three thousand spectators was a fitting tribute to a truly great piece of work by a clever exponent of the higher pitching. Demoted Tooley Is Promoted Again. Bv the time the ninth inning rolled around Mordecai Drown was pitching for the Cubs, after Cole and Richie had gotten theirs. Notoriety Jake Daubert opened the festivities In that round by doubling to right. Wheat was wafted out on a pop fly, lint John Hummel, the famous, loquacious, silent man, singled through Joe Tinker, whereat was great excitement among the faithful, to say nothing of cheers and things.

Gnulson drove to Brown and Daubert was thrown out at the plate, amid much groaning and ejaculations indicating disappointment. At this point Bert Tooley, whom we hailed last week as Hero No. 1 on the revised list, and then had to revise the list again when he lost the game next day by FIRST GAME FOR MOHAWKS IN JUNIOR EAGLE LEAGUE CATCHER OTTO MILLER PROVES THAT BASEBALL IS HONEST mo oiAieeum noie me Dan rimming tne cup and hanging on the edge after a long putt. That Little Final Touch. IlttIe C0UP de with which all big events should be concluded.

The competitive record for the course was already broken, but Nicholls, laying his drive to within twenty feet of the hole, boldly gobbled the putt and holed out In two. A tremendous crowd watched this sensational stunt, and forgetting for an instant that undue enthusiasm Is seldom seen in golf tournaments, that same crowd, with one accord, howled Its appreciation. Jack Hobens, the Englewood professional, was the runner up for the championship, and received Becond best money. His scores throughout the tournament had varied considerably, but In his case again, the finale was something well worthy of mention. He covered the course in 68 strokes.

Like Nicholls, he went out in 36, but omitted having any two's on the homeward round. He dropped a stroke at the long hole, the fourth, as a result of missing a putt. Oswald Klrkby, who tied McDermott at 295, played in rather hard luck all through the tournament, excepting, of SU I course, on the first afternoon, when he scored his 68. A 77 to start off with was rather discouraging, and yesterday morning he began the day with two fives.

J. Mulgrew, Richmond County it Amateur. White Leads at Wykagyl. There were ninety-six starters in ths qualifying round of the Wykagyl Golf Club annual Invitation tournament at New Rochelle yesterday, but out of that tremendous field Gardiner W. White, the young Oakland golfer, shone particularly.

He repeated his performance or a year ago by capturing the gold medal for the best score, doing tne tniriy-six noies in 151. He had an excellent chance to break the competitive record for the course, but missed several easy putts at critical moments. E. .51. Wild, the Cranford champion, came second with 155 and B.

Tooley is one of the popular members of the younger set In Brooklyn.

If the Miiniiattan newspaper did not con-line themselves exclusively to publishing the pnotos of "society girls" who have married dukes, or been robbed of phony jewels, or have been named in a divorce suit, or something of the sort, we would suppose that one of them might have looieys picture on the front page today. Two Umpires Better Than One. Two heads are better than one, yet some folk with twisted minds have Insisted that the double umpire system was as good as ihe one-arbitrator plan. The advantages of having two umps was illustrated yesterday in the seventh inning. Schardt had fanned and Erwlu had doubled.

Burch smashed a liner over Joe Tinker's head. Jim Sheekard made one of his famoua flying dives for" the bull and appeared to pull it out of the dirt. As a matter of fact, he got it off the ground by as neat a little scoop up as ever you did see. The crafty James went right along with his bluff. He threw to second, doubled up Erwlu, slammed his glove down like a regular big leaguer, and started for the bench.

Umpire Klem thought the play was all right and that Sheekard had caught the ball on the fly, but Umpire Brennan was onto his job, and, being nearer the Bcene of action, had noticed that James took the chance on a bound, or had trapped the ball, as we say In the vulgar parlance. Brennan told Klem, and Klem told the Cubs. Shekard made a right smart howl about being robbed, but grinned none tile less when the decision vas reversed on him. Goode Is No Cobb. Outfielder Goode of the Cubs has more wild ambition than any gent we know.

We Imagine after Manager Chance has a talk with him he will not be so full of iiis high ideals. In the eighth Inning yesterday with the Cubs three runs ahead rie singled and stole second. Then "vaunting ambition o'erleaped itself," as the poet fellow says, and Goode attempted to steal third. He was snagged by our bold athletes and eliminated from the inning. It Is not customary for ball clubs of the class of the Cubs to pull tricks of that sort, but Goode served a long term in Boston and maybe he is still ImbiuJ with the Boston Ideas of doing things.

We do not note that Boston Is doing much. THE OFFICIAL SCORE. CHICAGO. Nam. AB.

The three-fingered gent failed to get his bearing and passed Tooley for a full house. Eddie Zimmerman hit to Doyle, who threw down the alley between the grandstand and right field pavilion, two runs counting on the error. Dahlen tried to coax Klem Into giving Tooley an extra base so as to clinch the tie, but the umpire Btuck to the rule of two bases on a throw out of the field, and Bert had to stop at third.

Krwln's out did not help, but Davidson. Pinch Hitter No. 2, sent a sacrifice fly to Sheekard that scored Tooley, anyway. Jimmy might have duplicated Doyle's wild heave, had not Brown backed up on the wild throw to the plate, and Zim had to stop at third. Burch made a brave effort, but Schulte got under his long fly.

With our usual luck, it Is a cinch those Superbas are going to get Into sixth place and spoil our dally paragraph noting the standing of the race between Brooklyn and Washington for the seventh place championship of the world. To-day the Superbas are only 45 points behind Cincinnati and are forty points ahead of Washington. I We nnn thin mornlnff tliaf PMlnal. phia papers have the Phillies leading tho National League and the New York papers have tho (Hants leading. They are tied with .603 each.

All of which goes to show that tho spirit of local patriotism is not dead yet. It was an especially encouraging thought yesterday to see Lou Drucke come back Into his own and beat the Pirates. Lou also fanned nine of the enemy. He was reached for twelve but won for the Giants by 9 to 4. Again the Superbas won a game in which they were outhit.

Tho hot must have driven our own private Jinx to the Beashore. Ty Cobb scored from first on a single yesterday and Detroit bent the Ath- lf.H,,? foe thlr.t 1111111,111 This mentioning of Cobb everv day getting monotonous, but it muBt bs donq. tournament at Englewood yesterday, an nexlng the championship title with com parattve ease at the same time, It might be remarked that he did" something entirely novel. The championship has been won before, but never in such a hair raising finish. Nicholls made the final eighteen holes In 66, an unprecedented competitive score for that course, and his total score for the seventy-two holes was 281, nine strokes better than the score made by George Sargent over the same course two years ago, when the latter won the national open championship.

It also constitutes a world's record, the best previous championship score for the distance being 284, made recently by Ar mand Massy. Nicholls is a big, well-built Britisher, hailing from Sandwich, England. Fol many years he has been playing away in the various big open tournaments In this country, but never succesded in winning anything of note. Erratic to a degree, Nicholls twice came second in national open championship tournaments, but never seemed to be able to finish quite well enough up in the list. Now he is the metropolitan open champion, and he deserves the title.

His only bad round of the four was that of the first afternoon, when a 74 crept on his card. On the morning's play he qualified as a probable champion by making a 70. Yesterday morning he made a 71 and in the final round, when low figures came in handy, the now famous 66 was made. Was Consistent Prom Beginning. Medal play at seventy-two holes is liable to lead to some very queer happenings before the last return comes in.

Many a time and oft, as they say in poems, a man may start off by shaking all records to their foundations, and fin ish by seeking some lonely spot where he may commune with nature and wondei how he happened to blow up. In this case Nicholls showed where he stood in the matter of condition, for his good be ginning was merely the forerunner of better things to come. Among the other crack players in the tournament, notably J. J. McDermott, the youthful and cocksure open champion of the United States, the scores varied greatly for the different rounds.

On the afternoon of the first day McDermott demonstrated his ability to play winning golf, but It dldn last. While the latter lost some part of his reputation as a steady golfer, NlcholU lost even more of his claim to fame, consisting mostly In the fact that he was considered the most erratic of the first- class professionals. It Is a pretty good sort of a reputation to lose, and the new honor of being able to write M. G. A.

open champion after his name should more than pay him for the loss. Also, and It is a pretty important item when golf Is a man's livelihood, Nicholls received a very handsome gold medal and $100 for winning the title, as well as two cash prizes for leading the field in two single rounds. Both Accurate and Lucky. As has been said, that score of 30 for the last nine holes of the tournament will be handed over to the keeper of the archives as one of golf's most precious possessions. The Englewood course Is an old one, and has seen some hard-fought battles, but nothing like Nicholl's play had occurred over it before.

Going out In 36 was good, steady golf, and little more can be said about It. His score coming home combined brilliant good luck with such rock-like steadiness and accuracy that It was hard to distinguish the one from the other. The four strokes at the tenth hole were not remarkable, but when it came to the eleventh, no field glasses were necessary to make one able to see Just where the little, grinning god of luck was sitting. Nicholls made an excellent drive of perhaps 275 yards. The green was barely visible from where he stood to play the second shot, but the gaily floating flag pointed out the direction.

Taking the brassle, which Is his greatest pride In life, Nicholls made a wonderfully well-Judged shot, pulling the ball ever so little. When last seen by the gallery, it was bouncing In the direction of the hole, and several commented on the excellence of the direction of the shot. Lost, but in the Right Place, Their comments proved to be decidedly well-timed, for when the Britisher's caddy arrived on the scene, he looked around in dismay. It seemed to him that the ball had been played too hard and had disappeared over the edge of the green. Nich olls had more faith in his own judgment, for after a cursory glance over the green, he peered down into the hole ind straightened up Immediately with a shout of laughter.

More need not be said, excepting that a two was Inscribed reverently on the cards of the devoted followers of the match. The next hole was taken In three, Nicholls placing his drive nicely on the green, and barely missing a long putt for a two. Just to prove that he was going to make Nicholls work for his low score, the little god of luck before mentioned Induced the new champion to drive with some force into a tree at the right of the fair green. The ball struck hard, but bounced off into the long grass. The second shot was a little too strong, and the ball rolled off the green into more trouble.

The gallery became apprehensive that Nicholls would not get his four at this hole, but they had no need to be, for his approach shot missed the pin by leBS than three inches. A four at the fourteen hole was followed by a fault less three at the next, Gil playing four strokes under fours. Two more like fig- ft which arrived from Alaska yesterday, brought word of the successful installation of the wireless station on St. Paul Island by the United States cruiser Buffalo. The islanders gathered to celebrate When the naval operator tuned up his Instrument, he said: "I have Honolulu now.

What news do you fellows want?" "All the baseball news you can get," the Islanders answered In chorus. "After sending the club standings, the Honolulu operator attempted to send news of the coronation of King George. "Ditch that," exclaimed one of the Islanders. "Ask him for Cobb's batting average and all about Eddie Collins, Honus Wagner and Red Dooln. The coronation can wait." Arrangements have been made to transmit to St.

Paul dally scores of the big leagues, book, a deed to a plot of ground In Flat-bush and an insurance policy. He waited around for an hour, expecting the owner to appear, but no claimant materializing, he went to Washington Park and consulted President Ebbets. The hitter found the name of Elizabeth Montgomery on tho book, which showed deposits in the Brooklyn Bank, and advised Miller to communicate with the officials. The result was that yesterday morning Mra. Montgomery appeared at the ball park with her family, consisting of her dattshter, son-in-law and grandchild, all ready to give testimony regarding her ownership.

Mrs. Montgomery described most of the contents plainly, but was several dollars shy on the amount of money In the pocketbook. Miller waived this and when he handed her the wallet Intact, with the 140 and all, at the same time refusing any reward, the woman's Joy was unbounded. Had Given It Up as Lost. "Sure, I'd given it up for lost," she said, "but when ray son-in-law here heard that a ball player had found It he said the pocketbook was perfectly safe.

"They're all honest," says he, "and sure I believe It now. 'Tis a lucky day for mo ye found it, Mr. Miller, an' you're welcome to half the money and more." Miller refused to take a penny, declaring that he was pleased with making the owner happy. She left with her family, praising the honesty of baBeball players and all connected with them. The pocketbook had been hung on the railing by Mrs.

Montgomery while she, her daughter and son-in-law had made an exchange of bundles, packages and the baby preparatory to boarding a trolley cur. In the hurry the pocketbook was forgotten. It was not missed until they had gone several blocks and then Mrs. Montgomery gave It up as a sure loss. Miller's action is splendid testimony, not only to the honesty of tho players, but.

the great national game as well. The sport must be entirely on the level to contain such men. If in doubt, ask'Mrs. Montgomery. In the first game of the series for the midget championship of the Junior Eagle Athletic League, yesterday, the Mohawks took the measure of the Star Crescents In a ten-Inning battle at the Parade Grounds.

The score was 10 to 9. The Mohawks drew first blood In the opening round. In the next period the Star Crescents forged to the front, but were overtaken in the fourth. By heavy hitting and a couple of errors In the Bixth and seventh stanzas the Star Crescents regained the lead. The Mohawks tied the score in the ninth and terminated hostilities In the tenth.

Murdock's play at shortstop for the Star Crescents was the feature. He cov.ered much territory and threw the ball with accuracy. The teams play again on Diamond No. 19, Parade Grounds, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. If the Mohawks lose, the deciding game will be contested on Monday afternoon.

Is baseball on the level Are the men who play the great national game honest? These questions have been asked more often this season than ever before, especially right here In Brooklyn, because of the peculiar work of the Superbas against the leaders. For the third time yesterday Dahlen's men pulled the Chl-cagos out of first place and sent the Giants Into the lead again by defeating the Cubs for the Blxth time out of eleven games, while their record against New York Is one out of thirteen. The questions were asked hundreds of times last evening as the fans wended their way homeward from Washington Park. Here is the answer, and It is given by Mrs. Elizabeth Montgomery, an estimable Brooklyn widow, who probably never saw a professional baseball game In Ber life, despite the fact that she Is a grandmother.

Yet Mrs. Montgomery la ready end willing to swear that everybody connected with the sport Is honest and a perfect gentleman besides. Miller Found a Big Roll. The story hasn't anything to do with basehlts, strikeouts and such, but it has Its thrills. A few days ago otto Miller, one of the Brooklyn catchers, was standing at the corner of Fifth avenue and Ninth street, near his boarding house, when he happened to look across the street and saw a pocketbook hanging on an Iron railing that guards a department store there.

Miller went over and found that the wallet contained $140, a bank BIG LEAGUE RECORDS. NATIONAL. ni.h. W.L.P.C.I Club. W.L.P.C.

I KNOCKS AND BOOSTS.

Ditch the Coronation Stuff; Give Us the Baseball News Silent John Hummel hogged the calcium some more yesterday. Beside scoring half the Brooklyn runs without the Bid of much hitting, the noiseless captain pulled off a heady play In the fourth that pulled Bell out of difficulties and saved Tex Erwin from a bad error. Scanlon had been derricked after Heine Zimmerman and Jimmy Doyle had slapped out a couple of triples and Joe Tinker had walked. Bell being thrown into the melee with a run across, men on third and first and nobody out. Scanlon seldom departs without leaving a fellow sufferer some such legacy.

The goud Mr. Goode raised foul tiy that Krwin nabbed after a desperate run to the press box, and Tinker made a dash for second. Erwin threw the ball in the general direction of the plate, where Hell stood to keep Doyle from counting. The ball shot past the pitcher and bounded toward second, where Hummel pounced on It. Tinker ovcrslid second and Hummel fell on htm for an out.

Doyle scored on the play, but. had Silent John been slumbering, Tinker would have been safe and the Cubs might be scoring yet. As it turnod out Archer popped to Hummel, ending a torrid session that netted only two runs. Four runs r.cored without the aid of a base hit was the lucky feature of Brooklyn's offensive game. King Cole ran wild in the fourth when he issued four passes, forcing Hummel home.

Colo departed, leaving the basos choked and two out as a puzzle for Richie to solve. Dahlen injected Hareor Into the argument as pin 'h hitter No. 1, but Cy wasn't there, his hit to Tinker forcing Erwin. Richie went wrong in the eighth and passed Hummel and Coulson before he TO-MORROW. 3 P.M.

WASHGTON BROOKLYN VS. ST. LOUIS High Scores at Manchester. Manchester, July 14 Warren K. Wood of Hotnewood was the medalist In the qualifying round of the twelfth annual tournament for the Taconlc cup at the Ekwanok Country Club yesterday.

His score was 76, an unusually high one. A strong wind blew over the course spoiling the play of the many crack golfers who were entered. Walter J. Travis of Garden City, who has made 70 more than once, took a 79, while Fred Herreshoff, another famed Metropolitan player, could not get into the first sixteen. He took an even HO for the eighteen holes.

Those who qualified for the main event were. Warren K. Wood, Homewood, 76; K. A. Martin.

A Oood Day's Work. To break a world's record for championship play, and to win the Metropolitan open championship, all on one day, were the not inconsiderable feats performed by Gil Nicholls, the Wilmington professional, at Englewood yesterday, but when he added to that a 125-yard mashie shot straight Into the hole, his cup of joy should have been pretty near the overflow mark. What must have made the victory the more acceptable Is the fact that Nicholls, though for many years one of the country's best men, has never annexed any title worth considering, in spite of his many good attempts. Nicholls is an Englishman. Kirkhy Did Well, Even Though He Didn't Win.
