Carl Mays checked Chicago s winning streak to day, Boston defeating the locals 2 to 1. Jim Scott waa unable to hold the world's champions who scored one run In the first Inning on Barry's single and Hoblltzell's triple and then added the winning run In th next In ning on B. Scott's triple and single ky Mays. Th victory for Bos ton today may cause the world's champions to play without the services of their manager, because of a colli. ion at second base between Manager Barry and Rlsberg In the Initial In ning. It was said that Barry's knee was badly hurt. Rlsberg also was compelled to leave the game. Thomas was ordered out of the game by Umpire Nallln because he argued with th arbiter whan Felsch was passed 4e first. It looked as if Maya had attempted th "bean ball." Score: R. w. .

Stymies In golf play are abolished by a revolu tionary rule promulgated by th Western Golf association today for play In th western amateur cham pionship, to beheld at the Midlothian Country club, Chicago, July 8 to 14. The new rule, which does away, so far as three-fourths of the united State and all of Canada are concerned, with on of th most discussed penalties of golf, also eliminates to a large ex tent the both of lifting balls on th putting greens in medal play. The new rule upsets one on th cardinal rules of the anolent Scottish game by providing that the hall near est the hole shall be played first when both balls are on the putting green. Heretofore th ball farthest from the hole had to be played first In match play where the contest Is hole by hole, the old rule brought about a stymie when the ball nearest the hole was In the direct line of play of th ball farthest from the cup. In medal play the old rule demanded that the hall nearest the hole be played or lifted until the one farthest from the hoi had been played, If the first player de sired, as he would suffer a penalty of one stroke If his ball hit the ball of his fellow competitor. NAPS SIGW HOFMAJT. CLEVELAND, O,. May 20. The Cleveland American club today an nounced that Artie Hofman has been signed aa utility man. U. 8. Pat Off.) COBB SAYS BASERUNNING IS FAR : MORE IMPORTANT THAN BATTING Base running more Important than batting? Bunk you say? But that's Just th claim made by Ty Cobb, the greatest bat tar who vr lived, In his artli le in the June Baseball Maguslu. 1 am strong for the stolen base be raus I believe It Is possible to do more damag to th opposing team's defense by daring baa running than by hutting or llnldlug or anything else. When you ar making a lot of hits you may discourage tha opposi tion. But at th same time thny rea son that the players are not so much to blame. It Is really the pitcher who is getting his. Therefor team play and defensive play, so far as the club la concerned, are not Im paired In the least by the fusllnde of hits which may win the gam and drive the pitcher from the box. Th same applies to fielding. If a mis- play Is made It Is the fault of some one player. It doesn't affect the other players and It doesn't even affect the man who made It very much. For he reasons, "I missed that one all right but when the next one comes thta way I will atop It or break a leg." All these things ar Important. But no on of them, not even a horn run with th bases crammed, can quit demoralise an Infield and get th de fense up In the air as clever base running can do. Such base running strikes fleep at the foundation of the defense. It destroys confidence and when con fidence la gon everything Is gone. Whe'n a fast runner gets to first base and then starts running wild and r' away with It, he completely demoral ises th infield and gets the pitcher and catcher up in th air as well. In finldera ret to throwing th ball around, missing plays, making errors and looking like a lot of boohs.
