Both Jim Barry and Tony Ross are eager to hook up in a muss with Jim Flynn. Carl Morris wanted $4,000 for three six-round bouts in Philadel- phia. The promoter told Morris that he could leave his name and if that amount of money was found any- where between Cape Cod -and the Yellow Sea, he would be notified. The Grandmother Game. President Johnson, of the American league was pointing out to a sporting editor the wonderful money-making possibilities of the baseball business. “Baseball is ingrained in our peo ple,” he sald. “They give their time jand money to baseball, though the heavens fall. ; “There’s a spice of truth in the story of the boss who sald to his of- fice boy: ! “‘Well, Henry, 1 don’t see how iyou'll get to any of the games this [season, as your grandmother dled wice while football was on.’ “‘You should have known better an that’ he replied. ‘My grandfa- ier has married again, much against wishes of the family.’” Fogel Enters Protest.

B Lajole’s Absence" Costly. i Obarlle Somers had “a ‘hunch- last winter that Larry Jajole was to have a The absence of the big fellow has kept the Nnm aat of the race for the season. - . Ball players said this spring that they would “get- to” Covaleskie, the big Pole whom Chattanooga is carting along as one of its star attractions, and it looks like they are making good. The “Giant Killer” is no longer In the bearcat class if the scores that have been made against him recently give a fair idea of the work he is go- ing to do this season. About the only reason ball players had for saying they would hit Covales- kie this season after woefully failing last season was that they would play the same kind of a game against him that they played against any ordinary pitcher. “We’ll test his control,” they said. “He used to get away with most any- thing, because he had us buffaloed.” Whatever was the cause there i8 no doubt that Covaleskie put the jinx on many good ball players in the South- ern league last season. They dropped their little angoras just as soon as he came in sight. Some of them were bewildered with his speed, others feared his lack of control would result UMPIRE SHOWS HIS METTLE Billy Evans, Made Target of by Pop Bottle Throwers, Refuses to Move—Is Cheered. “Umpires are brave men—at least the great majority of them. One of the bravest things I ever saw was the act of Billy Evans on the old White Box grounds in Chicago,” writes Hugh Fullerton in the American Magazine. “On that park, happily, now vacated, there was a tler of seats known as the stock yards, in which gathered one of the most dangerous crowds (for um- pires) in the country. They were regu- lars who occupled the same seats al- most every day, and who fought for them. These seats, of course, were not reserved, but hundreds claimed a title to certain places. They paid thelr quar. ters and if anyone was in the place and refused to move, he was tossed out and thrown over the heads of the crowd to the bottom. “That crowd started after Evans, who had given a close decision at third base against Chicago. Evans walked over onto foul ground, back of first base and-a shower of bottles fell around him. It looked as if a hundred men were throwing bottles at the umpire, One bottle touched his cap, several bounded and struck him, one hit him on the arm. “During this - bombardment Evans did not turn his head. He stood watch- Ing the batter., For at least three min- utes the battle whistled around his head. The people in the grand stand shouted for him to run, fearing he would be killed. The players begged him to move into the dlamond out of range. He stood rtill, with his back to his foes, until the batter made a base hit, then trotted down nearer sec- ond base to watch for a play there. “As the opposing nine took the field 8 few moments later Evans walked to the same position back of first base, and the crowd that had tried to kill him stood up and cheered him. They recognized a brave man. One fellow threw a bottle, and the crowd pitched him down the steep steps, passing him along until he hit the fence.” - Jimmy Doyle continues to clout the ball. The Natlonal league has not made & triple play this year. Ball players seem extremely sensi- tive to apithets from umpires. Herzog, Sweeney and Millér are bat- ting better than .300 for Boston. Christy Mathewson has not been particularly effective against the Cubs this season. Lew Ritchie and Harry MclIntire ap- pear to be the whole Cub pitching staff this season. “Babe” Adams {is ahowlns that his pitching in the Detroit series ol’ 1909 was not a flash in the pan. According. to dope floating around, Pitcher Covaleskie of New Orleans. || Mississippi’s Former Governor Makes in his slamming them on the bean, others gave up trying to hit him sim- ply because they didn’t think they had & chance. When Covaleskie went back to ti big circuit a lot of Southern fans thought he would keep up his spectac ular work, and when he failed to do this théy began to wonder whether he was the pippin pitcher that he had been cracked up to be. When his re- turn to the Southern league was-an- nounced, ball players started contriv- ing his downfall. There is no doubt that Covaleskie 1s some pitcher. He has speed enough to singe the atmosphere between the box and the plate, and when his aim is good he 18 pretty sure to set a pace that only a good team can keep up with. Milwaukee’s New Record. The record of 19 men left on bases, made by Milwaukee in a recent game, is said to be a new mark in a year being made famous for strange per- formances. - QUAKER FANS ARE CENSURED Washington Player Complains That Champion Athletic Team Is Often & Roasted Without Cause. According to the views of some of the players on the Washington team, the fans in Philadelphia are_the most inconsiderate- in their -treatment ~of their own. players to be found any- Where in the country, with the fans of St. Louis a close second. “There’s some excuse for the fans in 8t. Louts to feel that the price they pay for tickets gives them the right to get after a team that s so persis- tently in last nlace, but what explana- tion can the Philadelphia fans make for such conduct?” asked one of Mc- Aleer’s boys. “When we went over to Philadelphia to play last month the people in that city were getting their first chance to see the Athletics since that team set all fandom aflame by winning the world’s championship. “Did the fans rise- up and give Mack’s champions the greeting they deserved? They did not. They sat in their seats snarling and barking at Connie’s men for every little slip they made, actually hooting and jeering at a team that had only six months before defeated the supposedly invincible Cubs. e “Of course, everybody knows that the fans in Philadelphia are famous the world over for giving up early in the struggle if a visiting team gets in the lead, but who would believe that at the beginning of the season they would roast the players who had brought so much glory to that city?” Cobb Surpa: Everybody. Leading the American league in bat ting average, in number of base hits, in run-getting and base stealing, Cobb of Detroit sure shows conspicuously his superiority over all players in the major circuits. The only worlds. left for him to conquer in baseball activi- tles are the records of past seasons, of which he holds quite a number, and toward which he is now rapidly head: Jim Vaughn continues to be the Highlanders' hope.

Jackson, Miss, July 27.—One of the most spirited political campaigns [that Mississippi has seen in years entered upon its final stage today. Next Tuesday a State-wide Demo- cratic primary will be held for the indorsement of a candidate for Unit- ed States senator and the nomination of candidates for governor and other Stafe officers. to. be chosen at the next election. In this State the | Democratic nomination is equivalent to election. - Public interest centers almost wholly in the contest for the senatorship. Senator Leroy Percy, whose term will expire in-1913, is a candidate for re-election. His prin- cipal opponent in the fight for the toga is ex-Governor James K. Var- daman, one of the most aggressive and picturesque politicians that Mis- sissippi “has turned .out in many years. C. H. Alexander is the third entrant in the :senatorial race. Al- exander has developed a consider- able following, but most unbiased onlookers are of the opinion -that the real fight will be between Var- daman ‘and Percy, with a close fin- ish and- the probability that a sec- ‘ond primary will be necessary to a choice. Earl Brewer, a prominent lawyer of Clarksdale, will be nomi- nated for governor without opposi- tion. “STm TRUST” QUIZ RESUMED Scene of Action Shifts to Within Shadow of Octopus Headquarters. New York, July 27.—The so-called Steel Investigating Committee of the House, of ‘which Representative Stanley of Kentucky is chairman, came to New York today to resume its hearings within a convenient hailing distance of the offices of the giant corporation and where some of the big men of Wall street and others who are supposed to know the inside history of the formation and operations of the United States Steel Corporation can be summoned before the committee without loss of time. It is understood the committee will first resume its investigation of the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company by the United States Steel Corporation. So far nothing has transpired to verify the rumors that J. P. Morgan, George W. Perk- ins, ex-President Roosevelt and oth- er big men would be summoned to testify, but the belief prevails that the committee will not hesitate to take such action should it seem nec- essary in order to get at the founda- tion facts in regard to the Tennessee merger- Sir Herbert Beerbohn Tree hgs a play by Zangwill called “The God of ‘War.” Marie Tempest is making a big suc- cesS in London in a revival of “The Marriage of Kitty.” Offic: Beliraml Go.
