Addie Joss twirled for the Naps and was practically hitless hb far as runs were concerned. Hughey Jennings' Detroit Cham pions lest again to the Boston Red 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.

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. ~ DETERMINED TO WORRY. “You cannot deny that the airship j is here to stay," said the enthusiast. "No," answered Mr. Sirius Baker. '"I don't deny it.
