rifspawh to The Star.
DKTROIT. Mioh.. August 21.?What
"Dolly" Gray hud to offer the Tigers in
the inaugural battle of the closing Wash
ington series for this city, which the lo
cals won. J{ to 1. seemed to make most
earnest appeal to Mr. Owen Bush. No
other Detroiter evinced any special fond
ness for the southpaw s slants. But the
midget inlielder lit on the ball every tjme
he was up. with a single exception. Twice
something happened, the something in
each instance being the scoring of a run.
This happened in the fcixth and again in
the eighth, in which period Bush himself
also registered. In the first live rounds
he was the only Tiger to make first base.
With Bush absent Gray would have cake
, walked.
Gray started out to be just as difficult
as he always lias proved to Detroit, but
wound up badly. He went wild at tlie
finish, in the eighth inning managing to
walk four men and hit another, besides
ridding himself of a wild pitch; even then
he pulled out with two runs, one of which
was on an error.
Purse for Schaefer.
Were were some enlivening incidents 10
the occasion. One of these was the first
Detroit appearance at bat, In Washington
togs of H. Schaefer. at one time con
nected with base ball affairs locally. Mr.
Schaefer drew a round of cheers that
must have done him a lot of good, and
he also drew a purse of $100 In gold that
cannot do him any harm. This was pre
sented by Detroit friends. Inspired by
the cheers and the coin, the exiled second
sacker made gallant efforts to break up
the party, scoring Washington's only run
and viciously smashing every ball thrown
to him. Moriarlty stole a couple of hits
from his old teammate. Tyrus Cobb was
the chief figure in the other unusual oc
currence.
I'mpire Connolly banished Cobb for a
protracted kick on a decision at home
base, when the Georgian tiled to score
on Street's throw to second. Cobb
thought he beat the return and got
away with a line of oratory that he
scattered around the pbit?. He erred
in continuing* his conversation when he
reached the bench.
. Had Edgar Willett not been at his best
or had Cobb been replaced by an inex
perienced outfielder prior to, instead of
after, the fourth inning. Washington
might have won. The Kansan was in
but one bad spot, but that cost a run
that "looked large until the sixth inning.
Street had a chance in the third for a
possible tally, doubling as a starter, but
he was caught napping, so his hit was
wasted.
Dutch's Triple.
Schaefer started the fourth, and he
? started it right. He hit where he sel
dom drives them, away over into left
field corner, giving Jones such a chase
that making three sacks was not diffi
cult. Unglaub promptly rescued his
teammate with a line single into right.
J^elivelt waited out four bad ones, and
Conroy sacrificed. Milan tried for a long
fly. Cobb got under it and returned the
ball fast and true. Stanage getting Un
glaub by sufficient margin to prevent any
arguments on the award. That was prac
tically all. Tlie second and fourth hit
ters of Washington's ninth made the
hags, but McBride lined into Delehanty's
mitt and nothing mattered.
Cntil the sixth inning only one Tiger,
Bush, in the opener, had made first
l>ase. Stanage started the sixth with a
drive to "the fence in left field, making
third. He dallied at third while Mc
Bride was throwing out Willett. Jones
was hit on the head by a pitched ball.
Bush singled past short, scoring the run.
Cobb lifted a fly into right that looked
sure to fall safe, but Browne took it on
the run and sprinted to first, beating
Bush back, thus completing an unassist
ed double at first base?an unusual feat
lor an outfielder.
Bob Started Double Play.
They tilled them up in the seventh on
I^elehanty's double. Mioriarity's singlo
and an intentional pass to Mullin. One
was down, and when Stanage hit to Un
glaub the latter flagged Delehanty at the
plate and got back to first in. time to
take Street's return throw. It looked
like the batting luck that has been beat
ing the champs right along.
Willet was gone in the eighth when
Jones drew a pasS. He romped to second
on a wild pitch. Bush pried loose his
third safety, and Davy scored. Lelivelt
made a bounding return to McBride that
got away from that inflelder. and Bush
went to second on it. Cobb was hit by a
pitched ball, and he and Bush pulled off i
a double steal, aided somewhat by I
Street's failure to hold the pitch, in his j
eagerness to make a throw. They didn't i
intend to let Crawford hit at the ball in !
this situation, and they didn't. He was!
walked, tilling the bases. Street under-!
took to catch Cobb napping off second,
but threw badly. Bush going home. Then j
Street tried a peg on Crawford, who was
roaming a long way ofT first base. Cobb,1
hiked to third and Sam got back safely.;
one of Gray's wide pitches got away
from Street, and Crawford dug for sec
ond. The ball rolled only a few yards
;??d Street recovered and threw to Schae
fer. < 'obl? started home uml Schaefer.
anticipating this, returned the ball to
Street. He tagged Cobb, and the argu
picut that resulted in Ty's banishment
was begun.
Delehanty and Aforiarity were both
walked at this juncture, giving another
set of full sacks, but Mullin flied to
Browne.

Brentwood, 6; Agriculture, 5.
The Capital City League champions
took the second same in the amateur
post-season serifs yesterday afternoon
at American league Park, and, while
the frame itself was an interesting: one
and the playing: of both clubs above the
average class shown by teams of this
caliber,, there crept into the contest in
the last two innings features which will
cause the parties concerned no end of
adverse criticism.
Brentwood hr.d assumed the lead in the
second inning, and when its half of the
tif'h came around the score was M to t,
with Agriculture having the little end.
The clouds that had been lowering all
during the name assumed a very threat
ening aspect at this period and rain
seemed imminent.
* Agriculture Begins Stalling.
Handiboe opened the fifth with.a c'ean
hit to right Held, but Kinney popped to
Xewberry in an effort to sacrifice. Hess
ler got in the way of a fast curve; and
took first. Rain bewail falling at this
juncture and it looked from the stands
as if Agriculture were playing for time.
Keane singled to left, scoring Handiboe,
and then started the unwholesome actions
Weber, 1st Baseman Agriculture.
of both teams which caused the spec
tators. who had paid real money to see
a ball game, to believe they had been
flimflammed. Herring deliberately struck
out, and Keane, who was on second,
walked all the way up to third base
(which was already occupied by Hessler),
and, though Newberry held the ball in
his hand, he made no effort to catch
Keane. who stood waiting to be tagged
out. McDonald banged the ball to left
for a hit and the two runners crossed
the plate, none of the Agriculture outfit
making any attempt to field the ball in.
Game Becomes Burlesque.
McDonald furnished the further bur
lesque featura to the alleged game by
running out of the base line into the way
of the baseman, trying his utmost to in
duce some one to tag him out.
Agriculture, however, determined that
there would be no game if it could be pre
vented, but when McDonald, who hai
kept on to the home plate, bumped into
Venneman. who held the ball. Umpire
Hughes called him out and the farce was
ended.
It was a plain rase of "curl up" on the
. part of the Departmental l,eaguo cliam
i pions. and the universal condemnation
j that was expressed in the stands at their
actions?even by their avowed supporters
? ?must not have been pleasant to the team
! or its manager.
Farmers Change Tactics.
To make matters worse. Agriculture got
to "Dolly" Gray in its half of the fifth,
and through some hitting and bad field
ing on Brentwood's part pushed four runs
over, making the score <5 to 5. Then it
was more than anxious to have the game
run on, despite the fact that it was driz
zling nard, a? they thought there then
was a possibility of knocking out a vic
tory.
Time was called after Brentwood had
its turn at the bat in the sixth, and
Agriculture, who Irad in the previous
inning resorted to every artifice to delay
the game for the ruin, was the loudest
to yell for the umpire to continue play.
After a wait of ten minutes play was
resumed. Newberry hit to Kinney, and
on the latter's wild throw to first New
berry continued on to second.
Rain again butted in. and when liughes
called a halt for the seeond time, poor
abused Agriculture thought all the world
was in league against it. Between
showers. Brentwood, with Kerr in the
box. managed to dispose of the next three
batters, and the game was called, with
the score <> to 5 in Brentwood's favor.
The Best Team Won.
Agriculture's action was very unsports
manlike but Umpire Hughes erred in not
awarding the game to Brentwood in the
tilth, when the former team resorted to
such dilatory tactics in the effort to stall
off defeat.
The most deserving team won.
The game gav?? promise of being an in
teresting one up to the fifth, but the in
cidents of that inning marred the whole
contest. The score:

Section A Comment.
The officials in charge of the post
season games, and especially President
Bolgiano and Secretary Shurtlefl, were
much Concerned lest the action of the
Agriculture team yeaterday might af
fect the attendance at future games. It
does not seem likely. however, that the
other teams will be made to suffer for
the conduct of one. and yesterday's at
tendance figure?30 >?will probably be
beaten many times before the season
closes.
Agriculture was presented with the
Reach cup?the prize donated to the
champions in the Departmental League?
just before the game started. Mr. Weed,
chief clerk of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, making the presenta
tion speech. It is a handsome trophy,
and will be placed with the other prizes
which have been won bv the Farmers.
The crowd was with Agriculture until
the fifth, there being but a small con
tingent of Capital City rooters on hand
to cheer for their team.
The dark day would have been a fine
one for a speedy pitcher, but only eleven
strike-outs, all told, were recorded.
Weber fielded his position at first verv
good. 3
/
Chief Clerk Sylvester R. Burch of the
Department of Agriculture and Disburs
ing Officer Claude A. Zapnone of the
same bureau were on hand to watch
their favorites in action.
Brentwood did a little holding back at
the beginning of the sixth, but when
Hughes pulled his watch on them thev
stepped to the bat lively.

Take a Fall Out of Pittsburg on
Way Back.
The base ball team of the Columbia
(101) Athletic Association, returning from
the second annual tournament of th^
Union Printers' National Base Ball
League, held in Chicago, August 14 to 18.
stopped off in Pittsburg, as the guests of
the Smoky city typos, who entertained the
Washington boys in royal style.
Pittsburg and Washington hooked up in a
game at Exposition Park yesterday after
noon to settle the question of superiority,
both teams having lost their first game in
the down-and-out series at Chicago, and
the Capital city athletes defeated their
hosts In a very interesting contest, al
though the wet condition of the grounds,
due to a hard rain in the morning, made
clean fielding exceedingly difficult, 5 to 3.
Weaver, who was on the mound for
Washington, pitched a splendid game, al
lowing his opponents but three hits, and
when his support faltered and permittsd
Pittsburg to get three men on the bases,
with non? out, in the opening round, he
pitched heady ball and shut them out
without a run.
The batting of Wilhide was also one of
the features, a two-bagger and a three
bagger being his portion.
Washington also trimmed Pittsburg in a
match game of duckpins, winning two of !
three games?to3 to 447, 487 to 437? the j
last game going to the home team, 471 to I
427.
The score of the hall game was as fol
lows:

GREAT TROTTERS TO
MEET IN BIG RACE
BUFFALO. X. V.. August 21.?Ar
rangements were completed here last
night for a match race between the sen- |
National horse I'lilan. with a record of
2.03 Vi. a I'd ?lie no less lamous and beau
tiful mare Hamburg Belle, with a mark
of 2.1.2?4. Not since the day of the duel
between Cresceus and The Abbot has
the trotting world been so stirred, for it
is almost universally conceded that in
one of the pair matched, if not in both,
the present generation will see the long
anticipated two-minute trotter in an
actual contest.
That the two wbuld meet eventually
no one doubted, but it was believed the
contest would not come until the autumn
at Lexington. The recent brilliant per
formances of both, however, acted as an
incentive to their owners, and with them
willing and with the two tracks bidding
the rest was comparatively easv. In
consequence they will meet Wednesday
next on the new Randall track at Cleve
land tor a match race for a twenty-two
thou.sand-five-hundred-dollar purse "and a
probable side bet of $.*..000. They are to
trot best two in three heats.
Two tracks were bidders for the event?
the rejuvenated Readville, now owned by
Andy Welch, and the ambitious younger
one in Ohio. Secretary Deitrich of the
iatter track acted throughout the nego
tiations for John L? Madden, owner of
Hamburg Belle, while Charles Saunders
of Salem, Mass.. owner of Uhlan was
present in person.
The matter of the side bet was left
open until the day of the race. If en
tered into at all it probably will be on
the proposition that it be devoted to
charity. In addition to this race there
will be other events.
While the match itself is of tremendous
interest, the far eastern contingent do
not look with favor upon its going to
Cleveland, for the reason that it neces
sarily will detract from the Readville
meeting, which has a valuable and costlv
program, and which feels it is entitled
to every bit of patronage it can get.
Hamburg Belle is already at the Cleve
land track. Hamburg Belle has never
been beaten, and Uhlan suffered his only
defeat in the great American trotting
handicap at Readville last year, being
beaten by Allen Winter, with a generous
allowance. Uhlan has defeated fields
this year with consummate ease and has
never been pressed.
SECTION B BOYS
BUTTLE TO A TIE
Rawlings for Bankers Holds
Parkview to One Hit,
but Can't Win.
The American Security and Trust team,
champs of the Bankers* league, and the
strong Parkview outfit battled 9even In
nings yesterday afternoon at the Capital
City Park to a tie. Score. 2 to.2. Umpire
Betts had to call the game at the close
of the seventh on account of the heavy
downpour of rain.
Rawlings, the lad that brought "Peet's
I Pets'" to the front, and who captured the
flag for Business High*in the lnterhigh
School championship games. ? twirled
masterly ball for the money men. He had
the heavy hitting opponents at his mercy
throughout the game, being only touched
up for one hit, and that was a scratch.
Had Rawlings been supported properly he
wouUl have walked away with the battle
easily, but six errors were chalked up
behind him, five of which proved costly.
W. Gallagher was the only suburbanite
that could ccfrinert safely.
The boys from the H street institute
outbatted the Parkview nine, but fell
down on their fielding. It looked as
Though several of the young bloods got
stage fright, judging from the way they
stood at the plate and tried to accept a
chance. The Parkviews were first to
score. Biiggette hit a grounder to Boy
kin which was fielded nicely, but he made
| a wild heave to first. Baggette stole sec
i and, and scored on another costly slip
up of Bo.vkin's on Nau's easy grounder.
The other two men went out in order. The
American Security and Trust had a
chance in the third to score a
i run. but fa'led. Hiilery hit Hay
| cock in the head with the ball. Brooks
next up. clouted a s'ngle to right. Hay
cock going to third on the swat. Brooks
stole second. Hiilery, seeing he was in
a bad predicament, drew himself to
gether and retired the side in order. The
Bankers registered their first taily in the
fourth. Maloney led off with a two-basa
hit to left center and tallied on West's
single to right. Meyers fielded the" ball
fast and made a bluff to throw home, but
instead threw to first. nailing West. Raw
Ings filed out to Maddox and Johnson
struck out. In the fifth they failed to
either hit or score, but in the sixth the
Bank league champions got busy and
scored the tieir.g run, in a downpour of
rain, on a single and a triple. Howard
caught one of Hillery's drops on the nose
for a single to left, and came home on
West's second hit of the game, a triple
to deep right.
The suburbanites got their second run
of the game in the fifth session. O'Neil
drew a pass and went to second on
"Snag's" error of Meyer's bunt. Hillerv
eame up and moved both along on his
sacrifice. Maddox lilt to Brooks and was
thrown out at first; during the play
O'Neil scored. In the seventh neither
team could hit nor score, and as every
body was getting soaked to the skin
1 mpire Betts calied "Game!"
At the start of the battle the Ameri
can Security and Trust squad had but
nine men. and should one of these have
been injured or put out of the game they
would have had to forfeit. It rained
hard before the combat, but at sched
uled time the grounds were in dandy
condition, with the exception of center
field.
Although Hillery's curves and shoots
fooled four more batters than Rawlings
and he passed one less in wildness, his
opponents found him easy when they
needed hits to count. Hillery's delivery
allowed five men to connect safely, one
of whom got two.
' The work of Slab behind the plate for
the Parkview and the classy fielding of
Johnson in center field for the bankers
and the batting of West were the fea
tures of the game. The score:

i William C. Chick, the former Harvard
golf player and twice winner of the Iver
cup tournament, won the cup yesterday
by defeating Hiram Ricker, jr., in a
thirty-six hole match, by a score of 9
up 7. At no time after the first nine
holes was the contest in doubt. Ricker,
who came through to the finals In bril
liant style, took a slump going out. and
was never able to recover himself. In
his drives he was a match for Chick,
but his approaches and putting were way
off. He drove on the green 250 yards
from the tee In the third round, and
came near getting a two for the hole.
Chick was playing in excellent form in
the morning, getting a 39 and UtJ, which

Hangs Up
for One Hundred
Miles.
INDIANAPOLIS. August 21.?Driver#
Strang and Zengel shared the honors of
! the second day of the automobile rate
meet on the new Indiarapolis motor
' speedway yesterday. Strang won the
fastest 10t>-mile iace ever held in thi*
country, while Zengel established a new
ten-mile record. No accident marred the
day's racing. Some lS,O.H? spectators
crowded the two big stands and hundreds
of autos filled the parking spaces.
The feature of the day was the easy vic
tory of Strang with a Buick in the lot
mile race. Strang led all the way from
the start and won hy about ten miles in
the exception of 1.%!.48 5-10. At first it
was thought this was a new record lor ?
this country, but the officials announced
that they had decided to let the mark
of -l.:t2.1S tt-lO, made by Chevrolet
in the first MJU miles of the
250-mile race of Tliursdaj. stand, despite
the fact that Chevrolet did not finish the
race. Strang, however, beat Chevrolet s
record for nearly all the distances l?e
tween 20 and loo miles.
Dewitt. in a Buick, finished second to
Strang in the long race, in 1.41.%! :M?.
and Stiliman, in a Mammon, was third, m
1.42.37 0-10. Harroun, in a Marmon, was
the only other one-of the seven starters
to finish. The Buick (Chevrolet). Marion
(Monson) and Marion (Stutz) dropped out
early in the race.
The American Automobile Association
will not withdraw its' sanction from the
meet, as its officials are satisfied that the
owners have done all in their power to
make the course safe. Every inch was
oiled and tarred, and the bad spots were
repaired.
World's Record Broken.
Before Strang start?d on his wonderful
! ride the honors had gone to Zengel. who
I established a new ten-mile record ?.f
! 8.23 2-10. in his Chadwlck, in the tcn
! mile free-for-all. Attken. in a National,
i finished second and beat Chevrolet s old
i mark for the distance.
The fifty-mile race was a walk-away .
? for Wright and Schwitzer in the Stotl
dard-Dayton cars. They were the only
drivers to finish out of the five starters,
which included Buick < Dewitt?. Vein
(Merrkt) and Buick (Ryall).
The five-mile freerfor-all handicap was
the most closely contested race of the
dav and resulted in a victory for Merz.
who drove a National. His teammate,
Aitken, finished one-tenth of a second be
hind him. according to the electrical scor
ing machine. Aitken really made the bet
ter time, as his handicap was ten seconds,
while Merz had an allowance of twenty
seconds. Miliar, in a Stoddard-Dayton.
with a thirty-second handicap, was third.
Thirteen cars faced the starter in this
event. It took the two Nationals some
time to overtake the early starters. Down
the long homestretch the two cars tliun
j dered wjth hardiy an inch separating their
[ hoods. Merz was able to keep his ad
| vantage until they crossed the tai>e.
j National Wins Again.
The ten-mile race for machines that will
compete in the ;iOO-inile race today re
sulted in another victory for the Na
tional. This time it was Aitken who
piloted the car to success in the credit
able time of 0.20 ?-!<?- Herbert L.yttle
broke into the limelight for the first time
during the meet by finishing second in his
Apperson. nearly ten seconds behind Ait
