Score by Innings. 123450789 Makes Three Hits, One a Double, While Padron's Two-Bagger Scores a Run. Easton, July 13 As a result of the great pitching of Levy, of the Brooklyn Atlantic league team, the Eastons were able to gather only three hits yesterday In an eleven inning game which the visitors won by 2 to 1. All of the hits made off the Brooklyn pitcher were made in the seventh inning, in which the Eastons tallied their solitary run. In this same session, the Brooklyn scored, creating a tie.

It was Padron's double in this inning that opened a way for the run. Dowd sacrificed, advancing Padron to third Sullivan, the Easton catcher, attempted to catch th- Brooklynite napping off third but made a bad throw and the visiting players scampered home. The Easton tally was made when Cook hit for a base, was advanced in Ritter's sacrifice and was brought across the rubber on a double by Sullivan. All of the other times at the bat re sulted in the scoreboard showing goose eggs exJept in the eleventh, when Kelly sent the ball flying to centerfield for two bases. Kennedy hit out a grounder, which Austin fumbled and Kelly came In.

The feature was Levy's work. Beside holding the opposing team down to a trio of hit3, he made four assists, struck dut seven men and on two occasions at tha bat batted safely. He permitted only three men to walk. Score: Brooklyn. Gaston.

Then Ritter added another single n.1 Mclntiro walked, the bases being 'nil with two out and Alpennan at the 'at. The expected three bagger was not 'ri Dooming. Whltey rolUng the easiest kln.l of a grounder to the pitcher. The Pirates broke Into the double play business In the eighth when the Su-1 1 rbas were quite dangerous, having led off for the first time during the game two hits in a row. Casey and Hum- SIDE LIGHTS Still in sixth place.

Our boys never could hit Vic Willis. Tim Jordan's puny error started the fireworks. "Goat" Anderson hurt his leg running on Leach's three-bagger and bad to re-'tire. Funny how different players catch on In different cities. Washington considers Bob Ganley a wonder and wouldn't part with hint lor a small fortune.

Yet Pittsburg let him out on the plea that he was not a winner and looks upon "Goat" Anderson as the real thing. Andy, 'tis said. bats better and fields better than Ganley besides being a harder worker for the team. At any rate he gets on the bases quite often, as yesterday's record of four times on the paths In as many times at bat shows. And he Bcores quite frequently, too.

Hans Wagner's two drives had the proper ring to them. His wallop over the fence was an ordinary tap for him, while that two-bagger was hit twice as hard. Strango to say, the ball hit with the lesser force went the farthest. Can you explain it? That double play In the first saved Mc-iDt're from a lot of trouble. "How d'ye, Honus, show 'em what the Dutch can do," was the cry when Wagner tamo to bat.

Honus responded with a fly to Hummell. It was different later "Whitey" Alperman led off with his customary hit. It was a drive Just out of Wagner's reach. Anderson slid ton feet along the out-flold after his circus catch of Heine Batch's short fly in the first. It was a great play and robbed Brooklyn of a run.

Batty was caught badly on the hit and run game when he dashed for the midway ou Nealon's pop fly In the second. The resulting double play put a stop to some heart failures, as Batty had opened up with a clean single. Maloney telegraphed his Intentions of fcteallng In the second. At any rate, Willis pitched wide and Wagner caught Billy standing up, Mclntlre extended himself to the limit on his one-handed cherry-picking stunt on Gibson's high bounder in the third. It was a nice piece of work.

The Superbas should have had another double play in the third, but Anderson beat Alperman's relay by a whisker. The failure to pull it off, paved the way for a great play by Batch, however. Andy stole second cleverly, only to be nailed nt the plate on Heine's perlect return of Leach's single. Mclntire worked his underhand crossfire to perfection on Abbaticchio in the fourth. Wagner's stop of Batch's hot grounder In Ihe fourth was highway robbery.

The fans looked for the ball somewhere in renter and were surprised when Hans tostort it over to Nealon Chicago, July 13 The American Automobile Association tourists, who reached this city yesterday afternoon, will spend to-day and to-morrow looking over Chicago and all the charms It may noid tor the stranger. The Chicago Automobile Club is keeping open house and the programme of events arranged for the visitors will be carried out to the letter. On Monday morning the line leaves for the East again, the day's run being to South Bend, the same as yesterday, only in the opposite direction. Yesterday's run from South Bend proved to be 109 miles in length. A number of machines were penalized, the West Chester Motor Club losing the clean team score held Thursday night.

The honors at present are divided between the Automobile Club of Buffalo and the Pittsburg Automobile Club, neither team having received a penalty thus far. In the former are two Thomas flyers, two Pierce Arrows and a Packard. On the Pitt6burg team are two Pierce Arrows, a Packard and a Welch. The Buffalo club now holds the Glidden trophy won In 1905 by Percy Pierce in a Pierce Arrow, and successfully defended It last year. Wagers are being made, at odds of 5 to 1, that Buffalo will again win out.

Four cars competing in yesterday's run were penalized. The Maxwell car No. 59 of the West Chester Motor Club and driven by C. A. Fleming, sheared off the driving shaft at a point about twenty- four miles from South Bend, and the Maxwell touring car No.

58, driven by S. T. Taylor, was penalized eight points for replacing a spring. No. 56, the Columbia entered by F.

E. Dayton of the Chicago club, was late because of tire troubles and got a penalty of 224 points. Other cars penalized were: No. 37, the Meteor, entered by A. L.

Peterssen, 7 points; No. 23, the new Shoe-maker car, driven by H. H. Perkins, 26 points for being late Thursday night. Orrel A.

Parker, entrant of No. 16. a Royal Tourist, decided to withdraw from the Glidden Trophy event, but will con tinue as a non-contestant. Mrs. Parker accompanies her husband on the tour, and after the strenuous run from Toledo to South Bend the withdrawal was an- nounced.

No 12, the Thomas forty run- about, entered by R. D. Chapin, was late and was penalized ul points on total penalizations for the Glidden Trophy. The IJ.1,1. 1...

Tl clubs stand: Automobilo Club of Buffalo, PittB-burg Automobile Club, New York Motor Club, 13 1-5; while the others have much higher penalties. All of the runabouts entered for the Hower Trophy came through with perfect scores. It was a good day for Brooklyn and Long Mrs. John Newton Cuneo driving her Rainier to a perfect score, while Robert S. Kelsey, Matheson, and I.

C. Kirkham, Maxwell, made the same merltorlot performance. The only incldent.of the day at all serious came to the American Mors car No. 15, driven by G. Cabanne.

Sixteenth street and Michigan avenue, where they will remain under guard until Monday. The active management of the present A. A. A. event Is vested in the touring board executive committee, of which Frank B.

Hower of Buffalo is chairman, the other original members being James P. Dill, East Orange, N. L. E. Myers of Chicago, and Philip S.

Flinn of Pittsburg, Pa. Dissatisfaction with Mr. How-er's methods, which has been growing ever since 1907 tour matters were first discussed, resulted on Thursday night in the resignation of Mr. Myers as a member of the executive committee. Before tbe start from Cloveland, Mr.

Flinn banded in his resignation on the ground that as he was a competitor In tbe tour as one of the Pittsburg team it would be better if he were in no way Interested in tbe management. It has been known for some time, however, that Mr. Flinn, too, was not at all in harmony with tbe one man idea carried out by tbe chairman. As James P. Dill Is not on the present event, the resignations of Messrs.

Flinn and Myers leavo Mr. Hower sole dictator of the situation. On his shoulders will thus now fall the responsibility for tho success or failure of the tour not an enviable position by any means. Yesterdays' run proved a good one from a scenic standpoint, and for a greater part of this distance the roads were excellent. The change In route made necessary because of highway repairs between Laporte and Valparaiso could not have hurt the work of the day in the least.

Leaving South Bend, a good gravel-going was encountered for. the first twenty miles to the point where the change In the original itinerary began. Here the cars were taken to the northward at the twenty-five-mile point, striking the best bit of macadam encountered. This ran for ten miles into the thriving town of Michigan City, and the same distance beyond, a truly wonderful piece of roadway on which everyone was tempted to go the limit. There were two or three short stretches of heavy going which were hard but in no way beyond the ability of the present day motor car.

One of these, strange to say, was right at the entrance to South Chicago, en route from Hammond, on which at times it looked as if the cars would sure ly be either mired or upset. An Intarnolin. inol nnnAltlnw In was the ract that c8t of all wag lnvariabIy in the renter or main street of the different i-, ki increased traffic In these sections was not met by any extra repair wont. In Illinois yesterday each town had good macadamized or brick paved high ways, the benefits of which were plainly rcneclea in the generally well kept and prosperous look of the residences and public buildings. TIks entree to Chicago was made through Jackson Park, which a majority of the Eastern tourists had not seen since the Columbian exposition of 18S4 The transformation which has taken place is wonderful.

Here and there evidences of the fair are found. A few of the buildings of lasting construction still remain as do the supposed duplicates of Columbus caravels now anchored in the lagoon. GAMES TO-MORROW. National League. No American League.

Denver C. 38 .49.1 46 .446 42 .440 FATHER CHAD AT BLUE POINT. Henry Chadwirk, "Father of Baseball," has gone to Blue Point, L. where his daughter is seriously ill. "Link" Lowe is the official scout for the Detroits and has started West on the warpath after promising material.

Catcher Heinle Pelts says ho has an offer from President Pulllam to umpire. Heinle says he will accept after he Is through with playing. Billy Hallman has resigned as manager of the Columbia (S. team, and former Manager Ransick of the Augusta team has been appointed in his place. "Stafford Is so short legged that when he follows a runner around the bases he has to stand in the pitcher's box and turn on his heel to keep up," says the Detroit Journal.

Captain Arthur Nichols of Waterbury has purchased his release for $350. He says he Is tired of the Connecticut league and will go to Nashville, where he can get more money. All Southern league records were broken in attendance on the Fourth of July by the two crowds at Atlanta, some 14.500 people witnessing both games in that city. Manager Charles Shaffer of Richmond, once with the Boston Americans, has severed his connection with the Richmond team. He could not stand for the roasting he received from the patrons, and so determined to quit.

The players gave him a handsome diamond studded Elk locket. It wouldn't be surprising to see Ed Killian playing first base one of these days, says the Detroit Journal. He is a fine fielder, and without the pitching strain would be a grand hitter. That he rather fancies the position is shown by the fact that he often strays over to the bag in practice. "Three men will make the Cincinnati Reds a first division team next season," says McCloskey of the St.

Louis Cardinals. "It would be a hard matter to improve on that infield." continued McCloskey, "and that catching department is particularly sweet. Two more good twirlers and one outfielder will transfer the Reds Into an aggregation capable of putting up a bitter tight for the flag. Mitchell of the Clncinnatis said of the speed of Overall the last time he faced the big fellow: "The ball came by so fast that the breeze dried your clothes, parted your hair and gave you a shampoo. Some of these old-timers talk to me about Amos Rusie, hut I'll bet my salary that he had nothing on Overall.

And then Just think of Orvie getting through a game without giving a base on balls, or making any kind of a mistake. It was a wonderful game that hp put up." Jack Ryder vouches for the truth of the foregoing. "Players all around the circuit tell me that Nig Clarke Is the best catcher in the world, and I believe they are right." says Jollying tho batters into hitting at the bad ones. No pitcher in either of the big leagues would have any trouble working with Nig. Indeed, a pitcher hasn't very much to do except to stand up there and hand up what Clarke calls for.

Yes, sir. You may talk about Kling. and Criger. and Sullivan, and all the rest, but Clarke is the king of them all. and moreover, he is getting better every time he Is in the game." INTEBNATTONAL CHICKET.

Staten Island Will Control Match With Marylebone C. C. By decision of the executive committee of tho Metropolitan District Cricket League, the management of the match, which the eleven of the Marylebone Cricket Club of London will play in New York, will be handed over to the Staten Island Cricket and Tennis Club, inasmuch as the League had no grounds it could command for the purpose. It 1b understood, however, that the Staten Island Club, in choosing its team, will not confine the members thereof to Its own players, but will endeavor to make it as representative of New York as possible. The dates for the game with the Englishmen have been fixed tentatively for September 17 and 18.

TEINITY CLUB TENNIS. Harold B. the well-known referee and sporting promolcr, has donated a silver cup trophy to be contested for by the senior members of the Trinity Club for the tennis championship. There will be sixteen contestants. The first match will take place Sunday afternoon at Trinity Field, Coney Island avenue and Avenue J.

BROOKLYN MEN IN FINAL Westfall and Anderson to Play for Eight to Challenge for State Title. The honor of challenging Harold H. Hackett for tho New York State championship will fall to a Brooklyn man, and a member of the Kings County Tennis Club, as was predicted in these columns several days ago. Herbert L. Westfall and Frederick G.

Anderson, of the local orgapization, will meet in the final contest to-day, both men having disposed of their respective opponents in different halves of the drawings. Anderson has had a delightful time in getting through and his semi-final round was only a pleasure jaunt against R. G. Palmer, of the Ridge-wood Golf Club. The score of this match was 62, 63.

Westf all's triumph has not been so easy, but he has done very well. Yestarday ho beat N. W. Niles, the crack Harvard player, who has been showing very fast form this year. The score was 6 3.

36, 75. This was in spite of the fact that Henry Mollenhauer, Westfall's club mate, had been defeated by Niles only a short time before. Mollenhauer heretofore has been rated as a trifle stronger than West-fall, and It was generally figured that "Molly" would beat both Westfall and Niles and thus meet Anderson in the final. Westfall, however, was able to beat a man that Molly could not. Now it is a case of two strong clubmates meeting to day.

It has been a matter of much discussion among County tennis clubmen as to whether Westfall had improved enough to beat Anderson or Mollenhauer this year; and many a dinner and other bets will be determined on the result this afternoon. That the younger man is in ex cellent shape Is shown by his record this year. Anderson, belter than anyone, un derstands the young player's game, however, and a splendid match should be the result. W. A.

Larned and George L. Wrenn, beat T. R. Pell and R. Leroy in the in vitation doubles tourney of the Westches ter Country Club yesterday, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.

That was the only match played and proved to be the first winning one for the wrenn-Larned combination. The international tennis series for the Davis Cup challenge match will start at 'Wimbledon to-day. The United States and Australia as anticipated, prove to be the only two countries to play for the right to challenge this year, and France ha3 apparently stopped trying, for the time being anyway. Wright and Bchr, for this country, and Brookes and Wilding for tbe Antipodes, will face each other to-day, the draw having brought Wright against Brookes and Bchr against Wilding. The two teams will play doubles on Monday, and on Tuesday, in case there is a tie in points.

Bchr will face Brookes and Wright, iWilding decide the match. The Australians are warm favorites in the betting because they are thought to be almost sure of winning the cup this year and because they have already beaten their 'opponents in the All-Eng-laud championships.

July 13 The idea of having the Vanderbilt Auto Cup Race this year held upon the course utilized last season meets with the warmest approval possible of people here. In fart, it is believed that nincteen-twentieths of ihe persons residing near the course wouid, If asked to do so, gladly sign a petition to that effort. Among those in this village who favor the race and say it will be a continued good thing for the town of Oyster Bay and Nassau County, are Richard Downing, real estate agent; Frank McQueen, Town Clerk of Oyster Bay; Harry G. Hayward, cashier Nassau Union Bank, Glen Cove; J. H.

"Pinky" Heyl, who recently severed his relations with the has so far proved himself a worthy leftflelder of the Brooklyn Eagles.

Heyl might do better, however, on first or third or behind the bat. Already there are charges and countercharges of semi-professionalism being heard at the Parade Grounds. It's really a pity that even amaleur sport can not be free from money grabbers. But. then, money is a big inducement, and it is a handy thing to have around.

Hen Korwan. who has been playing ball on local amateur diamonds for the past twenty years. Is about to devote his time managing the Rebus team in the Brooklyn Amateur League. Gus Eckman. who takes Hen's place, is an all around player, is a fast runner and a good batter.

fioodly sized delegations from both Ihe Union and Amateur Leagues atend the big league games at Washington Park regularly. One of the spectators of the Brooklyn Fugle'. funns game at Hnwthorne, N. on the Fourth was Dick Wintergrcen, the popular umpire in the Union League, There was considerable talk among a number of the Eagle's admirers present ot asking Wintergrcen to handle the indicatorthe other fellow couldn't do it. George Carlan is one of those never-give-iip fellows.

He was heard to reprove his manager recently for saying that the game was "sewed up" by ihe opposition. The St. Mark's team of tbe Church League will miss Eddie Hausslcr. who was recently injured so that he is unable to play. Haussler's name is a synonym of hustler.

When a man makes ten putouts and fourteen assists In one game, he should i have a vacation for a while. That is I enough for one person to do in a day. Kid Morgan of St. Mark's is the man. If there is any team that needs eneour- aeement, it Is the Tabernacles in the i Church League.
