Establishing a season's record for extra innings, and coming with- in one inning of the league record, Chicago on Wednesday defeated Philadelphia, 2 to 1, in a twenty- one: frame pitchers' duel between Watson and Tyler. The National League extra-irn- Ing record was established in 1917 when Brooklyn and Pittsburgh went two-two innings. Philadelphia and Boston established the Ameri- can League record in 1906, when they played 24 innings. Manager Mitchell's . mobilization of his pinch-hitting reserve in the twenty-first won for Chicago, Bar- ber, batting for Zelder, singled; Watson hit Killifer, and MoCabe, batting for Tyler, beat .out a bunt, filling the bases with none out. Flack then delivered his fifth hit of the game, scoring Barber. In the first, Flack's walk, a single and an infield out, gave Chicago its first run. Philadelphia tied in the fourth on Hollocher's fumble of William's grounder, followed by safe hits by Stock and Luderus Hollocher's bobble was the only one made on either side, the Phillies playing eryoriess ball in supportmof Watson.

Red Sox Living Up to Former Precedent. The Boston Red Sox, though Present Grip of Golf Lies in Aftermath. A real argument as to the rea- son why tennis never gets a grip on one's affections in the same man- ner as golf is contained in the fact that there are no post-mortems in tennis. In golf the game does 'the Canadian 'zation Stakes to $10,000. not end in sinking one's put on the home green; it really is onlyashalf over at that point. In the hours that follow that and other rounds are played over and over again and there is just as much fun, just as much pleasure in the post-mortem as there iv in the physical play of the mateh. One ean look back and recall every shot and figure ou) how he lost; that's the post-mortem in golf. In tennis, a player has either won or lost. When a man is beaten he never is heard to say it was won by luek or a fluke. Hockeyist Joins Engineers. George Penny, the well knawn Cornwall hockey and lacrosse play- er, arrived in Otthwa to enlist in Engineers.
