DANVILLE FAILS
10 SPOP TIGERS
Three Straight for Roanoke
Keeps Champs Safely
in Last Place.
Danville, Va.. August 0.?Roanoke
madc It three straights from the
Champs by taking the game this af?
ternoon from the locals, 6 to 4. push?
ing two men across In the ninth In?
ning. The locals made a hard try In
their half of the ninth, but the best
they could do was one run. It was
I'erryman against Hull, and the form?
er lost the game, owing to base." on
balls.
Danville started off like a winner
scoring two runs In the llrst. but drop?
ped behind In the fourth and fifth,
when Roanoke made three runs, and
the was never able to overcome the
lead though thr; box tied the score In
the sixth. The locals did not play
with the vim that Roanoke did, and
thereby hangs the tale.
The acore?

Pertinent Comment
By GUS MALBERT.
Back home to-day after our r,ear
trlumi>hal march upon Lynchburg.
Though thwarted in our desire to get
rid of at least four games In the se?
ries?there were just that number
played ? wo nevertheless hold our
heads high, for we are secure In the
knowledge that we did the best we
could. We won a game, but why
blame us for that. Slattern-Jawed
Philanthropie Stark Is the ono at
fault. He made us a present out of
the goodness of his heart, snd It was
ns much a surprise to us as it was to
any one else But we are home again
?home to carry on the warfare, and if
link be with us and the Goobt-.rs
hruckrnlllerize enough of the games,
and the Bed Sox <jult being so peevl?h
about their honored position" where
tlicy can get a most excellent view
of the procession as jt passea by, we
will yet achieve the glorious end
which Is our goal.
Two games were played In Lynch
burg, and the first came our way by
virtue of the gra,clousness of the S. P.
Starke referred to above. He was
guilty of a wild heave or two, which
more than offset the surplus number
of blngles which Dutch Hevelle al?
lowed S. P.'s fellow-players. Dutch
horseshoed his way through so nicely
I In the first that Manager Cowan
; thought he might have something In
his hip pocket; a rabbits loot or
something equally as potent, and sent
j him back to bring home the last,
j By this time, however, the Shocmak
| era had been fully advised of all that
. l>,:tch bad In the s?hop and really on
i tlcipated what he was going to serve,
i while Bruck allowed the Colts to eke
out the thlnfi which the doughnut
surrounds.
.There was nothing of peculiar Inter-j
e'st in either o fthe games. Aside from
the surprising announcement that
Richmond won a game, tht wire's
! buzzing was as monotonous as of yore. |
j Hanks or Hogue will probably start
J against Busch, and he will doubtless
use .Hamilton or Hanslfan.
_ i
j An Ingenious young person who had
t much time on his hunds managed to
' saw off the following chunk working
I up an appetite for breakfast. With
reservations we commend it tu your
tender mercy. This is how It Jerks:
The Fun?' Lament.
We that go out. day by day,
Read the dope and watch the play.
Raise our pipes nl this sad song,
Something's rotten, something's
wrong.
And the universe Is gone to smash, j
What's the use of going out,
If we cannot get the clout.
If we alt and watch them drown.
I Three men on and one man down,
And the universe all gone to smash.
Take the men and stack them up.
Fit to win a challenge cup!
Martin, Dobson, Prlost ami all.
Play the game and play good ball,
But the universe still goes to Bmash.
Mac and Mattls in the garden.
Need of no man ask a pardon.
Then there's Scrap Iron, on whose |
' brow
Weight of worlds is brooding now. |
But the universe still goes to smash, j
Wallace still can catch a fly,
Rtill has got his batting eye,
But each day it looKa the same.
If we play, we lose the game.
And the universe still goes to 1
smash.
Mr. Bradley, hear our plea,
I Give us baseball fit to see
Ere tho last- fopd fan's disgusted.
Ere the management is busted,
And the universe clean gone to
smash!
j Plttsburg Is now In the lead in the
I National League. Despite the fact that
the Pirates are going strong, no less 1
a person than Edward I.yon, just re- |
turned from looking them over, de- j
elnres that the Cubs will be first tin- j
der the wire, and he is backed In his
opinion by no less a person than Er?
nest J. Lannigan. than whom no mnn

sally the Mackmen are selected for

In view of the fact that the Tigers are
j now playing minus their captain, Mo
| rlnrlty being out of tho game because
I of a spike wound. Cobh Is known to
i bo slek. and should he collapse In the
! near future. It will not be surprising
j to see Detroit drop even lower than
j second place.
