CHICAGO 7 NEW YORK 5 ISpecial Telegram New York Aug 30 It cost the Chicago team $45 to defeat the giants in the tie game of Saturday which was played off this afternoon for Captain Anson was fined $25 and Everitt and Decker $10 each Anson and those two wanted the contest called at the end of the eighth inning because of the gloaming but Emslie insisted that the game should be finished as the sun was still shining called the red-faced veteran of a thousand kicks "So are replied the umpire a dirty coward So there retorted Anson "Get out of the game and off the howled Emslie fine you $25 EVERITT AND DECKER FINED Thereupon Messrs Everitt and Decker dipped in their oars and each caught a $10 fine Play was then resumed with the colts at the bat but the inning was so long drawn out that when the turn came to bat darkness had fallen The only object distinctly visible was face on the bench So the umpire called the game Thus the end for which the chief of the colts had fought and been fixed came to pass after all Had Anson curbed his tongue the game would have been played out to the satisfaction of the spectators with plenty of daylight to spare There would have been no disgraceful wrangling bad language and fines men had outbatted and outplayed the other side from the beginning and the game was as good as won The giants could not hit Griffith who showed them that he knew how to pitch and the colts hammered Seymour and Sullivan all over the lot The sun was still shining but Anson knew that it would probably set in the course of events so he kicked SCORE IN THE NINTH After the wrangle the colts scored three runs in the ninth Lange led a hit and when Anson stepped up Emslie ordered him away from the plate but gave him one minute to procure a substitute There was not an extra man on the bench Friend was resting in the clubhouse but he had no uniform on He failed to appear before the expiration of the minute and the batsman was declared out In the half Decker went to first base and Friend waddled to the left field in a bath robe that trailed the ground Scrappy Bill and his men raised a hovl They said Friend was not in uniform and had no right to play Emslie declined to probe beneath the bath robe and Friend played in the game until but one giant remained to be disposed of Time was called and the result went back to the eighth Inning Filled with cheering reminiscences of how he shut the colts out on Friday Lawyer Sullivan trotted airily to the slab again today with no thought of the disaster about to overwhelm him Mike smiled sauc-ily when Bill Everitt missed the first ball But Bill landed squarely cn the next one and raised It into the right field bleachers for a home run A look of pain flitted across the judicial countenance of Mr Sullivan but he cheered himself with the thought that perhaps the hit was a mistake It looked that way as the next two men made easy outs Anson drew four bases and Ryan retired the side on a fly to Clark HARD HITTING BY EVERITT The giants passed peacefully away in their half and two colts had been returned to the stable in the next -when Sullivan lost sight of the plate and gave Griffith his base Kittridge turned loose a double scoring Griffith and then up rose Everitt with another home run swipe that rolled under the ropes in right center Before Sullivan recovered from this shock Dahlen blazed away and drove the ball into the lake in left field making the circuit of the bases This was too much for Michael Three home runs and a double in two rounds was piling it on a bit too thick As the prospect for another shutout looked dim Michael gracefully in favor of Seymour This brilliant young sycamore of the Harlem appeared in a pair of black stockings from which the legs were partly torn away but otherwise Si seemed to be in fair condition The colts got three hits in the first inning he pitched but failed to send a man across the plate owing to stupid work on the bases and the clever performances of Davis GIANTS SCORE TWICE In the fourth the giants flushed a couple of tallies errors by Callahan and Everitt giving two men a start after one hand was retired With a lead of three to overcome the locals rallied in the sixth and tied the score The eighth was a lucky round for the visitors Donnelly could not get near grounder He easily fielded one from the bat of Callahan but threw the ball Ryan scored and the batsman took third on the error He tried for home on Decker's slow one to Davis but got caught on the line Callahan sprinted between third and home until Decker reached the former station Then Callahan gave up Griffith scored Decker with a hit Kittridge flied out Everitt tore off his fifth hit and Dahlen popped a fly to Davis Then came Anson and his kick which cost him a few coupons The score: New York RHPAE Chicago RHPAE Everitt 3b: Dahlen ssl Lange ef 0 Anson lb Ryan rf 2 Callahan 2b 1 Decker lf-lb2 Griffith 1 Kittridge cl Friend If 0 Haltren cfO MeOreery rfl

Chicago picked up a couple of good ones in a Bramble filly for $100 and a chestnut filly by Montana Regent out of DoHikens for $130 GOLF FOURSOME PLAY AT WHEATON Perhaps the best foursome match ever played on the Wheaton course and possibly in the United States was decided on the links of the Chicago club yesterday In this match professionals and amateurs w7ere matched against their equals and the fact that the score was either even or one up all the way around indicates the sort of battle that was waged at each hole MacDonald of Wheaton and Henry Turpie of the Washington Park club were matched against Whigham and James Fculis The total number of strokes used by Whigham and Foulis who won the last hole and match making then one up was eighty The nine holes going out were made in forty and the nino coming in by a similar figure Six of the first were made In four A great many were halved The entire round consisted of perfect golf and many difficult shots Foulis lost a golf ball in driving over tlje pond to the ninth hole and as others were lost during the game the score cannot be called an official one The playing of all four experts was certainly of the most remarkable order CAMP HARRISON DESERTED Wheelmen Leave Their Bivouac on the 'Winnetka Bluflt Neighboring Residents Bid Their Adieus to the Cyclist Guests Experiment of Associated Cycling Clubs May Be an Annual Affair Lack of Attractions Causes Racers Avoid Chicago This Winter to CAMP HARRISON DISAPPEARS- CYCLISTS TAKE LEAVE Camp Harrison is no more At an early hour yesterday morning its cyclist residents folded their tents and wheeled away cityward leaving the sand sand burrs an-1 bosky dells of that delightful Winnetka bluff for another twelvemonth The departure was not unmarked by demonstration JOHN M'CULLAGH NEW CHIEF OF POLICE OF NEW YORK APPOINTED TO SUCCEED EX-CHIEF CONLIN RESIGNED At an early hour all the campers were awakened and took their last morning dip In the lake Then the final breakfast was prepared by Caterer Martin Hardly had the meal been consumed than Mayor Thorne and the common council of Winnetka appeared bearing a beautiful slab of polished native cedar suitably carved It was a farewell gift for Frank Moulton in whose active brain the scheme of a camp had been conceived The task of presentation once accomplished the city fathers shook hands all around and took their departure The sight of the last coat tall vanishing around the turn in the road was a signal for the demolition of the tents Assistant Chief of Camp Police Tom Heywood committed the first vandal act when he pulled one of the guy rope pegs of the Chicago Athletic association tent Others saw the breach opened and joined in the work Burley Ayers mournfully dismantled the League of American Wheelmen tent of its signs extolling the benefits to be derived from league membership which had been the wonder and admiration of the campers for a fortnight packed them up and took his departure This done the others decided that the work was too laborious and left it to the employes of the tent firm Mounting their wheels they rode from the camp ground and left behind the familiar haunts Hardly had they gone than the workmen appeared and soon all that was a camp was gone But the dismantling of Camp Harrison does not mean that cycle camps are no more Before the departure the decision was reached that the camp should be a permanent annual affair The life at the tented town has been so delightful to the thousands who visited It that every year there will rise the canvas walls of another town larger and more populous- wdth each succeeding year Chief Consul Patee even has a scheme for the holding of a state camp but cyclists are inclined to believe that such an institution would not be a success A meeting of the Chicago Athletic association has been called for Thursday night when the finance committee will report on the very important items of camp receipts end expenditures RACERS DESERT CHICAGO NO LOCAL ATTRACTIONS Chicago will see but little of the crack bicycle riders this winter With the abandonment of the annual cycle show there will be no attraction here and the organization of the southern and Mexican circuit has definitely settled the matter Even own flyer Arthur Gardiner will not favor the city with his presence He has written to friends here that he will board the special car Sept 29 In Trenton for a touring The early fall will be spent in northern cities and the cracks will get as near Chicago as Peoria where the national circuit races will be held Memphis Chattanooga and Atlanta will be visited and Nov 13 the racers will ride at Jacksonville Then the course will be turned westward and by Dec 1 the cycle car will have crossed the line into the territory of the LTnion Cvclista Mexicana Meets will be held at Laredo Monterey San Luis Potosi and Mexico City When the winter is closing the trip northward will be commenced According to this plan it will be several months before Chicago sees her racing man and the other speedy ones whom she claims by virtue of their racing under the colors of local cycling

last Saturday in the east returned to the city yesterday afternoon They looked none the worse for their trip barring a few bruises and sprains which fell to their lot during the final preliminary practice at island Though dlsapointed in their failure to win a couple of the events according to expectation the athletes were by no means downcast or crestfallen Second honors had been theirs certainly by right of merit and this they deemed at least repaid them for the journey Fred Stone the manager and trainer was hopeful for a still better showing next year He admitted he did not anticipate depriving the New York Athletic club of topmost honors "We are more than thankful that we fared as well as we said he can only hope that we shall turn the tables on the easterners next year We most certainly shall repeat the trip next year Of course we shall do fully as well as we have done and I should not be surprised if we even carried off the- banner by a good margin of AMATEURS DRAW THE LINE San Francisco Cal Aug 30 The Amateur Athletic association of the Pacific states recently organized with the Olympic Acme and Fresno clubs as charter members has adopted a constitution raising the standard of amateurism and defining very strictly who are amateurs At present all athletic organizations are equally represented in the association The new constitution substitutes a different basis of representation by compelling clubs devoted to a special branch of athletics to form subassociations to enter the main association on an equal footing with universities or general athletic clubs Boxing and wrestling clubs are excluded from the association on the ground that to enforce strict amateurism in such clubs is practically impossible POLO- ON WENTSI A TEAM LOSES Buffalo Aug

Hopes by Reason of This Position Easilj to Win the Championship Contest With Minnesota Improbable-Gardner to Play After Ail COACH NEW PLANS FOOTBALL AT THE It developed yesterday that Amos Alonzo Stagg has new plans by which he expects to land the "western championship in football this season Last year the University of Chicago team played nearly every college eleven that asked for a game but this year the coach of the maroons has decided to change his tactics and will play but two or three strong teams The remainder of the games will be with minor college elevens such as those of Lake Forest and Morgan Park new7 policy came to light when he absolutely refused to arrange for a game with Purdue university Manager Moore of the football eleven which will represent the Lafayette school this season was at the University of Chicago yesterday and tried ip vain to induce Stagg to play his team ad Chicago either Oct 16 or Nov 13 He tried' to convince the coach that the Purdue team would he easy to defeat and that he really did not expect to win hut Stagg politely told him that it would be impossible for the two teams to meet on the gridiron this fall have decided to adopt a new plan this Stagg said yesterday "Last year we played too many big games and the result was that w7hen we came to play the games that counted our team was more or less crippled You remember how it was when we met Wisconsin We had been playing strong teams and two of our best men Herseh-berger and Coy were laid up Wisconsin had had no hard games and her team was in first-class condition She beat us 24 to 0 and although she was beaten by teams which we had vanquished yet the loss of that game hung over us and gave Wisconsin a claim to the championship TEAM MUST BE SAVED is the reason I have refused to arrange for a game with Purdue I want to save the team for more important Manager Moore was not a little disappointed in being unable to' make a date with Chicago He expressed himself as of the opinion that Stagg was afraid to meet his team Purdue has always had a strong eleven and it i3 thought possible that this idea is not entirely without foundation The Purdue manager has himself adopted a plan similar to and will play but three or four big games one of which he hopes to get with Chicago Purdue will play Minnesota Thanksgiving day Manager Moore has refused to play Wisconsin The game last year between the two universities ended in a row during which Wisconsin left the field MAY NOT MEET MINNESOTA Coach Stagg has not yet arranged for any games except those with Illinois and Michigan Minnesota is trying hard to get a game with the maroons but it is probable that it will be refused Stagg is being besieged on all sides with requests for games but he is taking his own time about answering He says he intends to make more use of the varsity second team this season and that he will arrange but one or tv7o more big games These will probably be with Northwestern and Wisconsin The remaining games will be played with minor teams and as far as it is possible but one game a week will be played and those on Saturdays Minnesota unless she gets a game with Chicago will undoubtedly have to content herself principally with such teams as those of Purdue and Oberlin as it seems to he the policy of Wisconsin Northwestern and Michigan to adopt the same method as Stagg will pursue and save their strength for games with each other Practice will begin in earnest at the university on the Midway next week and training quarters will be opened about a week later Stagg expects most of the old players back then and will take advantage of the few weeks before the fall quarter begins GARDNER WILL PLAY It is now practically certain that Gardner will return and work off his conditions before any of the big games He has been in correspondence with the university authorities and w7ill be given a chance to make up back work Gardner played full back and half back last year and is a valuable man REGIMENT BOYS AT PRACTICE- FOOTBALL TRAINING AT NIGHT Football men of the First Regiment team will train by electric light in This was the announcement made by Coach Roby at
