Lajoie and his l.arrupers handed
out a large-sized package of pulver
ized whitewash yesterday and increas
ed their lead on first place. Addie
Joss twirled for the Naps and was
practically hitless hb far as runs were
concerned.
Hughey Jennings' Detroit Cham

Sox. Cicotte, the ex-Augusta pitcher
in the Sally league, holding the slug
gers down, while the Tigers' two er
rors figured in the scoring.
The St. Louis-Washington and Chi
cago-Philadelphia games were post
poned on account of rain, and in all
probability a double bill will be play
ed today.
Red Sox 4, Tigers 1.
DETROIT.—The Detroits were un
able to hit Cicotte connectedly and
lest to Boston, 4 to 1. Bush put De
troit out of the game at the start,
interfering with Schaefer on a ground
ball. This error of judgment gave
Boston two runs. An infield error
let in one of the others in the ninth.
Willett pitched a good game.

CLEVELAND The Naps again ex
pect easy prey today when they meet
the New York Yankees and hope to
cinch even tighter their grip upon
first place. This game scheduled in
the American league lor today ma'
enable the leaders to take a firmer
hold upon their position. New York,
the tail-enders, have been playing
weak ball, and by Boston defeating
Detroit yesterday a keener interest
is lent to the fight. The Tigers ar
now but two points ahead of the
White Sox for second place. The
Bhtes can scarce lose their grin be
fore the end of the week. Other
games scheduled are: Boston at De
troit. Philadelphia at Chicago, and
Washington at St. Louis.
IF THE CUBS WIN TODAY
THEY’LL NOSE OUT GIANTS
NEW YORK.—There should be an
other big crowd at the Polo Grounds
this afternoon, as the game will de
cide whether the Giants will retain
the lead they have held for some
time now. The Cubs are now just a
few points behind, and if they cap-
I ture the battle today they will assume
j first position in the greatest race the
National league has known in years
| and vears.
Manager McGraw may use his sll,-
;000 beauty, Rube Marquard, in today's
contest, while Jack Pfelster, the clev
er southpaw-, will undoubtedly work
for the visitors. Tomorrow it will
undoubtedly he Reuhlbaek and Crlsty
Mathewson who w-ill do the box work
for the two great opponents.
There was not that tumultuous rush
of exultant humanity surging across
the Polo Grounds last ’evening in a
frantic endeavor to carry the vic
torious Giants off the field, hailing
them as coming champions, that had
been anticipated. But that may come
later, however.

drama, and an equipment of scenic

and weight to deserve their most
worthy attention, but Mr Harris has
shown in the past that he desires
each minute detail carried to the
point of satisfaction to the most san

tends to prove that lie has not judged

role of "The Lion and the Mouse,”
retains the beautiful lines of her Ifi

weather. When this clever player
encounters an inclemency of the ole

long, brisk walk or a horseback ride,
she retreats to the stage ot the the

and prepares for an hour or more of
active fencing with a member of the
