He got the lesson yesterday, when lluggins tapped him for a single right off the bat In the first inning. It would have been an easy chance for Cutshaw but when about live feet from him, the ball took a bad bound over the head of that astonished person. O'Mara threw out Magee and lluggins went to second. He took third on a wild pitch.

Dolan drove slowly to Schmutz, who could have caught Dolan at first, but he eiected to try for Huggins at third. His throw was too late, and both were safe. Jack Miller singled to left. Hug-gins scoring and Dolan taking second. Chief Wilson singled to center.

Dolan scored, Miller went to third, and Wilson took second on Dalton's futile throw to snag Miller at third. Dressen thumped the ball into the ground between the plate and home. Schmutz got it in good season, and should have thrown out the batter, but to beaned Dressen distressfully. The ball bounded off the head of that pained athlete into right. Miller and scored, and Dressen took third.

Nash fanned. Snyder singled to left, scoring Dressen. Perdue forced Snyder, Cutshaw to O'Mara. Five runs on four hits and an errcr. Tho Other Runs.

With two out in the third Inning, O'Mara singled to right for Brooklyn and stole second. Daubert sent him home with a single. Dalton filed to lluggins. Wheat doubled to center as an opener for the ninth, and hurt himself somewhat in sliding. Hi Myers ran for him.

Cutshaw filed to center. Stengel tripled to left, scoring Myers. Smith popped to Jack Miller, and Fischer concluded the day's doings by fouling to Dressen. With one out in the sixth, Wilson singled to center, and Dressen walked. Nash scored them both with a triple to right, and was caught at the plats stretching It into a home run, Stengel to Cutshaw to Fischer.

Snyder was thrown out by Cutshaw. Sharp fielding by the Superbas, especially O'Mara, deprived the Cardinals of any real chance to score thereafter, although they got a hit in the seventh and another in the eighth. Notes of the Superbas. Game tomorrow at 2:80. Another threatening day and small attendance.

The crowd was estimated at a thousand. Umpire Byron took care to announce that the game started with the lineup just the same as it was on the score card. Smith did not have a chance at third base. Neither did Dalton in center. Huggins stole in the first Inning, but, when Magee tried in the seventh, Bill Fischer nipped him neatly, Stengel might have reached home on his triple in the ninth, but it would have been foolish to take a chance with his team five runs behind.

He was left on flies by Smith and Fischer. Wheat, with a single and a double, was the only Superba except Stengel who got more than one hit. The great battle of the Redman was fought at Washington Park yesterday. It was a fight between the Winnebago nation and the Shawnee. The latter, represented by Jim Bluejacket, the latest of the Ward pitching staff, came out victorious over his fellow redman, who labored in behalf of the Kansas City Packers, by a score of 2 to 0 in a seven-inning contest.

Tomahawks were not used, bats taking their place, but the two Indians battled with such effect that there were only eleven hits made during the afternoon, six by the locals and five by the Stovallites. This was the first appearance of the much-heralded Bluejacket In these parts, and the red giant lived up to the fine things said about him. He pitched a superb game and had the situation well in hand at all times. He issued a lone pass and caused three of the visitors to fan. In addition, he showed a disposition, a good one, to be able to picke men off the bases, which he did on two occasions.

Johnson, bis rival, was In fine fettle, but had the misfortune, or rather fortune, according to the point of view, to allow half of the hits garnered off him by Bradley men to be made in the first inning, which accounted for all the runs made during the battle, the locals making it three straight over the Missouri men and a clean sweep of the series. Brilliant Support Behind Bluejacket. While singing the praises of the new pitcher, mention must be made of the splendid support accorded the newcomer by his teammates. In the third Inning Rawlins received the only pass which the Shawnee handed out. Brown then hit one over short with all the earmarks of a perfectly good single, but Artie Hofman got the ball while on the dead run and doubled Rawlins, who had rounded second, at first by a line peg to Art Griggs.

In the sixth Goodwin hit one into right with the proper sound of a hit to it, and the crowd gasped. They reckoned not With Delehanty, however. When Jim saw the ball sailing Into the territory of Steve Evans, he pedaled his way Into the rarified atmosphere of the heights above the park and pulled the drive down with his bare hand, thus preventing a possible score, for Rawlins got a hit in the same Inning. All the runs were made In the first frame. Anderson was easy for Ken- worthy and Stovall, but Johnson lost the plate and passed ueienanty on four wide ones.

Griggs then hit between first and second but the ball carromed off Del's foot and Del was out. Steve Evans came to time with a drive into center far enough to score Griees from first. Steve got as tar as second on the hit and tallied himself when Artie Hofman spilled one Into right for a base. Circus Solly was left when Coles caught Westerzil's long flv. However, that was enough to win the game as things turned out.

Visitors Dangerous in Sixth. The Packers looked rather danger ous in the sixth inning again. Brown opened the session with a liner into left which went for a base hit. Johnson struck out and Coles grounded to Griggs, but Gilmore poked a blngle into left, sending the catcher to third and moved up to second himself on the throw to the plate. This put everything up to Kenworthy, but the chubby one could only raise a weak fly to Bluejacket whicn tne Indian caught, after a conference with West-erzil.

Notes of the Game. The game was called at 4:30 by agreement, in order that the Packers might catch a train to reach home in time to play on Saturday. After the game most of the boys who inhabit the center field bleachers watted outside for the Indian and gave him a rousing cheer. The brave was wreathed in smiles from ear to ear and mentally compared Brooklyn to dear old Bloomington, 111. After the game Manager Bradley took time out before running for the train which was to carry the local club West, to say a few kind words about Bluejacket.

Bill said that he knew the Indian was a good pitcher and added that he expected great things from him during the rest of the chase for the pennant. Perhaps this is the man who will fill out the pitching staff and enable it to carry Brooklyn to the first pennant she has had in years. Bert Maxwell went along on the trip and with the former Giant, Seaton. Lafltte, Flnneran, Houck, Marlon and Bluejacket, as a reijular staff, things looked decidedly bright for the locals. The club will play in Akron, Ohio, the home of Artie Hofman today, and will then make for Chicago where they open a "croocial serious" with the Chifeds, beginning with a double header on Saturday.

The bright day is csadlted by Sieve Evans as being responsible for his rejuvenated batting eye. Those dark days are hard on batters and their hitting suffers. Steve got three of the six hits the locals were able to gather off Johnson. This is a good sign, for his drives will be needed around the circuit. How those boys did holler when Jim Delehanty pulled down that drive off Goodwin In the fifth Inning! The first ball that Bluejacket threw in a Federal League game was a clean called strike.

A good sign. The Brooklyn Feds will engage In twenty games while absent. Manager Bradley took twenty-six players on the trip. These represent the full playing strength. It looks as though tho Wards msr'n no error when they took Bluejacket Into the fold.

Ills Initial performance was gratifying because ho showed notable skill coolness, superb confidence, good hitting ability and speed, for a big man, on the bases, nil of which entitled him to the applause that the fans gladly accorded. If tho Brooklyns win half of the games on their trip, they will be right In line for pennant honors, as they will practically finish the season on till home grounds, which Is all to their advantage. Harry Ptovall, manngtr of th Kansas City Feds, who was charged with having used profane language durlnft Wednesday's game, when angry over being declared out at second, felt ke n-ly tho publishing of his Infraction. When he srrlved at Washington Park yesterday he was pleased at having discovered a way to give vent to his disgust with what seemed to him like unjust decisions of the umpires without resorting to bad Inngusge. He carried nn lllustrnted book of Hie mute Inn-gunge, which he declared he was studying and by the use of which he Will Seek Pitchers to Help Brooklyn National's Staff.

President Ebbets of th Brooklyn National League Baseball Club announces that hs bas dispatched Bill Dahlen, his former manager, on a hurried scouting trip. The chief object of Dahlen will be to find pitchers, as at the present time Brooklyn Is worse off In the flinging department than any other team In either big league, and there are no signs that a change for the better is due. Where the Brooklyn scouts have been all summer Is not known. Scarcely a word has been heard from them, and if they have been digging up talent, the matter has been kept a mystery. Perhaps they have a number of embryo stars under cover for the draft, and It is to be hoped that they have.

Manager P.obinson will need all tho talent he can get if he Is to raise the team to a respectable position In baseball society. B. R. T. LEAGUE.

Eastern Division Wins a Thirteen Inning Game. The Eastern Division Elevated team won its fifth straight game in the B. R. T. League yesterday at Dexter Park by defeating Canarsle Depot In.

How many men nre a hundred thousand? That Is easior told than to tell when the Hrooklyn hall team will make a decent showinK if the pitching Maflt does not improve, in view of tho tbat was dropped at Ebl'i'ta Field to the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday by 7 to 2.

Old Biihseribers aro reading daily about an army corps of a hundred thousand men marching to and fro on errands of destruction in the once popular Europe, but the average person has a very hazy idea of what that number of men in a bunch look liko. A good way to set a line on It is to remember this: Kbbots Field when playing to capacity In all the stands holds 24,000 people. F.ro, men would be approximately four times the capacity of that capacious ball ground. Or, the I'olo ('rounds at a world's series game has held about 35,000 people, mostly to eoo the Philadelphia Athletics trim the Giants. With attendants and other deadheads there would be people in the I'olo Grounds on a big world's series day.

Any person who has seen that crowd of fans, and will keep it in mind, will have a basis for comparison when he reads of the huge armies that are slaughtering one another. We like to talk about the war be-causo it is so sad, and therefore offers an easy means of approaching the horrors of the condition of those siuperbas. It's like dipping your feet into the cold water before you take the big plunge. Cruel Fate of C. Si'limutz.

Charles O. 8chmutz, late of Vancouver, and the tallest pitcher in the National League, was tried out in the iirst inning yesterday against St. Louis. When the smoke rolled away the Cardinals were safely entrenched behind a lead of five runs. Those runs were garnered from four hits and a beany, so to speak, error by C.

Schmutz. The error came when, in trying to throw l'rossen out at first, he beaned his fellow Teuton, as Presen was running down the line, with such violence that lie ball rolled away out yonder into lifit held. Two runners scored almost lnstanter and Dressen pulled up at third, to go homo later on a hit by Snyder. The performance of C. Schmutz had its advantages in that it took away the chill of the horror in reading the accounts of the battles in Europe.

However, the fact that he got his bumps did not mean that C. Schmutz was any worse than some other gents who have done as badly. Ho had been on tho bench a long time, and that is not helpful to a young pitcher. Charley needs work, and Manager Robinson decided that yesterday was about as good a day as any to give him a trial. The youngster was ineffective, but one bnll game does not make a pitcher, and he has no reason to lose his nerve.

Allen Shows Frank Allen showed something to the thousand or so faus. He checked the Cardinals and was highly effective except in the sixth inning, when a single, a pass and a triple netted two runs. After that he tightened up and did well. Hub Perdue, meanwhile, was pitching good, steady bail. A run was earned off him in the third and another in the ninth.

Those offset the two made by the Cardinals from Allen's delivery. As far as Perdue and Allen were concerned, tho pitching contest between them was a tie, but the Cards had too big a lead for the Su-perbas seriously to think of winning, and the proceedings uecame decidedly listless. Slenuel Gets Threo Hits. Charley Stengel has been in a batting slump, but he got part of tho way-out of it yesterday, when he. accumulated a triple, a double and a single.

That was all that was required of a man working under the union scale of wages. If he keeps it up he will be a foreman some day. Stengel's double in the fourth caused a commotion among the scorers, it was a long line drive to left. Dolan went backward and then some more backward, until he was well placed to catch tho ball. Instead of using two hands, he stuck up his glove, got the ball therein and dropped it.

From the stand no reason could be seen for not using both hands, and the Impression was that Dolan had failed in attempting a fancy play to get his name in the newspapers, if ho was looking for notoriety he gets that same herewith. He played the ball like iinin mul with a two-base hit, when ho should have been out. Stengel's triple came in the ninth, with Myers, who was running for Wheat, on second, and was untarnished Ii was a wholesome wallop to the left field wall. His single was high bounder to Jack Miller in the fifth. Stengel in a man who bnis In fits and starts.

He has started now. Let's hope be doesn't have a lit. The Fatal First. C.

CHICAGO CAME STARTS 2,30 Boston, August 7 A victory for the Australasians in the doubles match with the British players at the Long-wood Cricket Club tennis courts today would give them the right to meet the American team in the challenge match ior tne Davis cup at the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, L.

next week. J. C. Parke and T. M.

Mavro-gordato, British, who were scheduled to meet Norman E. Brookes and Anthony F. Wilding, Australasians, at 8:30 p. were prepared to fight hard to prevent their opponents from following up their victories in singles yesterday by a win which would give them the deciding point in the series. Heavy clouds this forenoon threatened showers.

In yesterday's singles matches Brookes had all ho could do to defeat Parke, the Irish champion, who downed both Maurice E. McLoughlin and Richard Norris Williams, the American stars, at Wimbledon a year ago. The match went five sets before Brookes was returned the winner by 62, 46, 63, 16, 75. Wilding had an easier time defeating Arthur H. Lowe by 63, 61, 1614.

Brookes was forced to play the best tennis of which he was capable against Parke, and in addition he was taxed to the limit of his strength to keep the onrushing British Isles captain at bay In the deciding set. Brookes was near collapse when Parke ended the gruelling with a hard smash out of court. Wilding played a hard driving game from deep court In the first two sets against Lowe, and the Australasian had his opponent running all over the court In an effort to mah almost impossible gets. The Briton drew Wilding into the net in the third set, and showing unexpected strength, played the big New Zealander to a standstill. Four times during the thrilling thirty-game set Lowe was within a pola.

of winning, tut on each occasion he was unable to take advantage of the opportunity. Neither Wilding nor Lowe displayed a service that compared with the variety local followers of tennis have come to expect from Internationalists. Lowe's service was slightly the more effective, Wilding scoring aces by service on only two occasions, while Lowe aced his man five times. Lowe was very wild, and it was mainly on outs that Wilding scored, the Briton being guilty of 71 outs, as against 46 for Wilding. The Brookes-Parke battle was more on the slashing, rapid-fire American style of play than the Wilding-Lowe match.

It was Brookes' remarkable headwork that gained him the decision. He displayed excellent Judgment in changing his style of attack and managed to catch Parke out of position time and again at telling moments. Both players ran in on the service and the return and kept up a fast exchange at the net. Parke looked the stronger and might have outlasted his rival had he not grown wild at the critical stage. In the last set Brookes was fading, fast and he appeared a beaten man, as Parke kept coming stronger and stronger.

However, Erookes rallied and took the heart out of the Irishman's game with a splendid exhibition at the net. Parke gave a fine account of himself, even In defeat, twice the representative of England' was within an ace of the match. Both times Brookes rushed to the net and Instead of smashing for kills, touched the ball gently and allowed it to fall just over the net for the point. Brookes was very weak In his backhand. In that department he was nothing like what would be expected from a champion.

However, his forehand was all that could be desired and his net play more than made up for his shortcomings In the backhand. In the matter of sorvice Brookes and Parkes were about on an evn plane. In placements Parka outplayed Brookes. The summaries: Wilding t. T-owe.

Alexander, former national doubles champions, gave an xhlbltlon of th uphill fighting that made famous In years Rons by, when In th semi-final round of the New York Htat championship In doublos on th Bay Hldg courts of the Crescent Athletic Club yesterday, the veteran pair overcame a two set lead on th part of Nat B.

Drown and C. A. Wayne, th Western stars, and finally pulld out th match by 26, 67, 7 43, 84. Th victory placed the winners In th final round along with ltlrhard II. Palmer and Harold Throckmorton, th Jersey pair, who had previously defeated Charles (', Chamber and J.

T. Allen, th Kings County Tennis Club xperta. who wer the lust Hrnnklynlteg to eliminated by 6-2. 3-i. -4.

-l lluckeit and Alexander, who held the Htate doubles lltl In 1809 snd were looked upon ss winners over Brown and Vyn, and when th 1'allfornlana proved th aggressors at tne start, th small-sln-ed gallery prea Browne and Wayne put up some brilliant tennis at the start. Their team-work was excellent, while their steadiness In volleying gained them point after point. Hackett and Alexander, noted for their steady playing displayed streaks of wlldness at the start and committed more errors In the first two sets than they would usually make In a five-set match. Unlike most of the California players Browne and Wayne did not play the typical Western style of tennis. Instead of relying on the slashing driving attack the visitors resorted to a careful high lobbing game.

Hackett and Alexander generally are at their best In this kind of tennis, but for two sets they were outplayed Hackett and Alexander put on more speed in the third set, while their rivals began to tire. The veterans, regaining their accustomed steadiness, placed with more accuracy than in the early part of the match and they repeatedly drove between the rival pair for place- ment shots. The last set develoned Into a duel between Hackett and Browne, who frequently rushed over on their partners' territory In order to make returns. Both men depended entirely on high lobs, each one trying to draw the other into becoming wild. Hackett proved to be the steadier at this game and he and his partner finally were returned the winners.

Alexander did not play nearly as well as in the early matches. He did not appear to have fully recovered from his hard four-set match against R. Lindley Murray on Tuesday. Browne and Wayne have made a very favorable Impression on their first appearance in the East and the pair is sure to figure prominently In the future. Browne is built like Thomas C.

Bundy and plays the same kind of a game as the Davis Cup man. Wayne somewhat resembles Theodore Roosevelt Pell, both in build and style of Play. Although a new pair, Palmer and Throckmorton played very well together In their match against Chambers and Allen. Palmer was easily the best of the four and his hard smashes to deep court and excellent placing proved the undoing of the Kings County experts. Chambers and Allen were very erratic and if they had been as steady as in their early matches, there might have been a different result.

Palmer and Throckmorton, however, put up the better all-around tennis and fully deserved to win. Throckmorton Is only 17 years old and is the youngest player to ever reach the final round in the New York State championships.

MACD0NALD SMITH BROTHER Macdonald Smith of Oakmont, Pitts- burg, missed a chance yesterday at the Scarsdale links in the final round of the Metropolitan open championship to do something very unusual In championships by bringing In four rounds under 70. With his 68 in the morning and the 68 and G9 of the day before he had three rounds In the sixties, and It wanted only one more to give him a unlaue achievement, but the strenu ous work of the previous rounds proved a bit too much for him, and the best he could do after lunch was 73.

However, he averaged 69.5 strokes per round. This low scoring gave him the met-tropolltan title, which was won last year by his older brother, Alexander Smith, of tho Wykaygyl Country Club at the Salisbury links. Young Smith's nearest competitor was Will Macfar-lane of the Baltimore Country Club, who had started the day seven strokes behind Jack Hutchinson for second place, but by virtue of two splendid rounds of 70 and 72, finished ahead of Hutchinson, who after a good 73 In the morning fell off in the afternoon and required 77. The chances that the professionals will take whon playing for a high stake was shown at the 488-yard seventeenth hole In the afternoon. Mao-donald Smith had none too good a score for the afternoon round and he could not afford a 5 on this hole, so after his drive, which was straight out, landed him behind a long row of trees he had the option of playing along the right of the trees, which would have landed him hole high off the green, or of going straight over the trees with his brassie.

Hobens of Englewood, who was playing hard to get Into the prize list, was so placed after his fine drive that ha was stymied by the same row of trees. The only thing to get him to the green was a long slice around the trees. This he negotiated with his brasslo with such splendid effect that his ball landed ten feet from the hole. Smith was equally successful with his high shot ovor the trees, also having a long putt for a 8. Their two fours represented some of the finest playing of the day.

Alex. Hmith, the title holder, though hopelessly In the rear, gave a fine aou of his old-time form In the last round on the 4til-yard fifteenth hole. He was In a pit on his drive, but his iron out was to tho edge of the green. The distance was down hill, but at that the shot drew much applause from the gallery. Again In the morning round Macdonald Smith showed his mastery of the Irons on the 446-yard level sixteenth hole.

The pnr of the hoi Is 5, but Smith laid a 210-ysrd deck shot dend to the pin for a 3. The ball struck just short of th green and ran up to a foot of the cup. Ilomrbrcds Faro Radly. The home-breds had a hard tlm of It yestcrdny. John J.

McDcrmott. the former national champion, was mlBsIng from the tournament, and that lit Tom MrNamara of Boston, the 1013 Metropolitan chnmplon. and Jo Mitchell of I'pper Montclalr to lead th home-trnlned clan, but tbey wer far down the list at the end, Mitchell being No. 19 and McNamara No. 27.

Th best of the home-breds was Elmer W. Lovlg of Areola, who flnlshod thirteenth. Macdonald Smith, th winner, learned his game on th famous Car- noustl links, Scotland, which Is th native place ot th wbol Smith trlb of golfers. Although ther can no such thing ss a world record In golf, generally speaking, on account of differences In links, still It Is worth noting that Ills Is the first tlm a 72-hole mdal play chnmpir.iishlp has been decided anywhere In such low figures. Th nearest wns th 279, at which J.

II. Taylor am Harry Vardon tied In th German championship In 1911. (if th amateurs, Oswald Klrkby of Englewood, th Metropolitan and New Jersey champion, spoiled his chances of being near th top with an (0 In th morning round. However, he plckad up 4 strokes on this In th afternoon and led th amateurs. II was lghten places hotter than th next best, C.

E. Van Vleck, Baltusrol, and (lardlner Whit. Flushing, the finishing r-spectlvcly at 116 and 117. James Mnlrirn PlnMied Finely, Jams Maiden of th Nassau Country Club wns heartily cnngratulsted at th end of th afternoon's play for b- ing in oniy on to trax to. Hi ii Score by Innings.
