A 'Sunt had been made and Daubert tossed JvU to Mowrey. who fumbled It. In , Sui of chasing the ball the umpire told 'KJ to- let It go and another was put Into I'iT. He Point of the Complaint ' Vow here Is where I have a kick coming, ul I believe the other.managcrs will bear m cut Just suppono that the gamo was irm and a new ball wan thrown to the Reter No twlrler like to throw a brand. h ball until It has been properly 'broken JTou know, ho trios to rub It in tho !Tj !a ottmnts all aorta of stunts In the Sort to et awar wlln ,l Uut tno rulcs n, jo thorough on this point nnd cover It JTccopletely that there la no chance. If Hi pitcher, for example, tosses tho ball to Uii first baseman and It Is muffed and rolls l, the stand, the rules nay that another j!ll must be put Into play. .Suppose the unjlre digs down In his pockot and throws ' iota dirty or black ball, Tho pitcher gets fits test of It and the batter loses out.

Tho Brooklyn batsmen took many liberties with III offerings and got away with them. Ten UU, six of them coming In two Innings, tire enough to ruin his chances, but ho tlfhtened up after that and twirled good U3. McCamgan played a swell game at ilort, accepting several difficult chances and Kltnf.out a nice blngle. Mac Is Improving jtwdlly and will bo an Important cog In Qe Uoran machine In a short time. Joe Bush finally broke his hoodoo streak Ui applied the well-known brUBh to WaBh. btton yesterday. The star hurler of tho 11 has been the most unfortunate guy In 111 league this year, losing many battles tr close scores, deeplto his excellent pitch- ttl. with Ilush In form tho chances of the Mackmen aro much more pleasant.

Carman by Five Laps Ad SwiRlcr, right-hand twirlcr of tho University of Pennsylvania, has signed a New York National League contract. It is believed he will report to the cluli when tho Giants play here tomorrow. Hiding n beautiful race and using excel lent Judgment nt nil times, rercy Law rence captured tho flfty-mlto motor-paced race at tho I'olnt Breeze drome -last night before a cnpnclty gathering, leading Clar enco Carman, his nearest opponent by flvo laps. The veteran Oeorgo Wiley, of Syracuse, sot tho pace for tho first twenty-four miles, but at that stago gavo way to the speedy Carman. The champion then held sway until the thirty-fifth mile was reached when Lawrence shot lo the front nnd main tained tho ndvnntngo to tho finish. Tho tlmo was 1 : OS: 4 4. One spill marred tho event, but there was no ecrloun accident. On tho thirty-fifth mile Corby attemptod to pass Carman nnd Law rence His front whool win puncturod and to nvold n colllson ho ran his machlno up high on tho track. Here his wheel buckled under his nnd ho wns thrown. Ho received severe bruises and lacerations nnd was un- ablo to roturn to tho track. Wiley Tnkes Lead The boys got nwny well. The men Jock eyed for position, with the lead changing rapidly. Hunter was the first to catch his pacemaker, but It wns not until tho fifth lap that he hit his stride. Carman. Law renco nnd Corby were struggling gamely In tho rear, never permitting the lending Wlloy to Increase his ndvantagc. Tho boys were setting a fast pace, and nt the twentieth mile tho time wns 27 minutes 39 3-5 sec onds. Carman only lead for a couple of laps when Wiley regained the pace-setting Job nnd for two miles moro continued to be the lender. At the twenty-seventh mile Car man came forth with a burst of speed that carried him to the fore. He rode a brilliant raco for the next eight miles, though he was unable to gain much on the field. Lawrence to Front Hunter was doing some great work as pacer for Lawrence and with the pair dis playing wonderfut teamwork, took tho lead from Carman on tho thlrty-tlfth mile. Hun ter startod nil of Lawrenco's sprints and his ability to slow down whan he had the raco well in hand was tho deciding factor. Carman challenged a numbor of times In the last fifteen miles, but ho nover was ablo to regain tho lead. In tho final five miles Hunter opened tho speed throttle nnd nt tho finish was five laps In front of Carman, who pedalod his way Into second place. Wiley camo homo third.
