{SPORTS OF THE DAY ||% Marathon Swimming Race. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 18.—Lovers of aquatic sports are manifesting a live- ly interest in the annual Mississippi River Marathon swimming race to be pulled off here tomorrow under the auspices of the Missouri Athletic Club. The contest will bring to- gether a number of the speediest swimmers of the rountry. “Bud” toodwin of New York, who won the race last year, has advised the club that he will not compete in tomor- row's race. His withdrawal from the list will leafe Michael McDermott of Chicago the faporite, although he will have two formidable competitors in Heath and Goessling of St. Louis. Fights Scheduled for Tonight. Harry Baker vs. Danny Webster, 20 rounds, at Sacramento, Cal. “Knockout” Brown vs. Willie Lew- is, 10 rounds, at New York city. MIGHTY TY COBB IS FOOLED In One of Chicago-Detrolt World's “hamplonshlp Games Miner Brown Outguessed Slugger. A striking example of a pitcher out- guessing the batter is afforded in one of the Chicago-Detroit games for the world champlonship, says the Outing. The Tigers came to bat in the fourth Inning with the score 2 to 0 against them. Both teams were playing close —from the opening inning it had been conservative baseball, with no daring chances. O'Leary, the chunky De- troit shortstop, led off with a single and blg Crawford followed with an- other. O'Leary was stopped at sec- ond. It looked like a Detroit rally, and the crowd was stamping its feet and uttering joyous howls. Cobb danced up to the plate with his confident swagger. Hverybody knew he would “Ty” Gobb. bunt and everyone knew Detroit would have three on base. If Cobb rolls the ball along the third base line, it is almost impossible to put him out, his speed is so great. Brown, the Chicago pitcher, knew this. The stereotyped play would have been to pitch Cobb a ball that he would have difficulty in bunting. 8o Brown, with remarkable nerve, planned to outguess Cobb. He delivered a ball that Cobb could bunt with the great- @8t accuracy. He actually invited [Cobb to make the play that seemed 8o advantageous to Detroit. | But, with the delivery, Brown |dashed from the pitcher's box to a position on the foul line halfway be- tween third and home. It was exact- {ly where Cobb dropped his perfect [bunt from the perfect pitch. 8o [Brown swooped on the ball and drove it to Steinfeldt, forcing out O’Leary, {Who was speeding from second to third. So astonished were the Tigers @t this magnificent outguessing of (Cobb that Crawford, mulling over the iplay at second base was caught op A throw by Catcher Kling. PHILLIES ARE GOING STRONG Team ls Composed of Hard Hitters and Has Two"Star Pitchers In Moore and Alexander, The Chicago Cubs think that the Phils will be in the pennant fight to the finish and say that the record of the Phillies at home will assure thiem of a good standing. This home record dope is based on the short left fleld bleachers, which means a homer to the player dropping the ball among the spectators. One of the oldest and most valued members of Chance’s team says of the Phillies: “It 18 a club that has a bunch of clean-up hitters, and any man on the team is liable to break up a game with a long drive at any stage. This short bleacher is going to be a big help to Dooln’s crew for a couple of reasons. “In the first place, if a pitcher pltches them inside to a right-hander, any one of the Phillp club 1s likely to lace it into the bleacher. “The second side to the argument 18 that several of the Phils who have been hitting into the bleachers are patural right field hitters, and a pitcher 18 throwing away his own game by pltching to stop left field hitting. “I tell you, boys, the Phillles have a ball club that s going to be in the fight from start to finish. From what I read, another pitcher is needed to share the work with Earl Moore, & marvel at all times, and this kid Alex- ander, who is tipped to me as a won- der.” For the benefit of inquisitive fans it will be well to add that the gentleman who speaks so highly of the Phillies has been a member of the Cubs for six years and is & dangerous clean-up hit- ter. “Live in Deeds, Not Hours.” A butterfly has more enjoyment in his 24 hours than an elephant in his century. X 2 X STORIES GOING UP Tallest Building in World Assured for New York—Policemen Have Many Troubles. TWO SHARKS CHASE BROTHERS New York, August 18.—Now, that the task of raising the $8,000,000 necessary to finance the Woolworth building, has been successfully com- pleted, thanks to the enterprise of French capitalists, the work on the structure, which, when completed, will be the highest office building in the world, is to be pushed with the utmost rapidity. The building will occupy the entire Broadway front on the west side between Barclay street and Park Place, covering an area of about 39,500 square feet. The building proper will be twenty- nine stories high and will be sur- mounted by a tower of twenty-six stories. The total height of the structure is to be 750 feet and it is to be completed by the fall of 1912, e Health Commissioner Lederle re- ports that the efforts of the health department and of the allied organ- izations trying to reduce infant mor- tality have succeeded this year in establishing the lowest July record since the consolidation of the bor- oughs. In July of this year 1,522 infants under one year of age died in Greater New York, which is a saving of 731 over 1910, when 2,253 died. Previous to this year, 1909 hiad the lowest record for July, which was 1,767. The low figures for the month just passed are particularly remarkable in view of the fact that the weather conditions during the month were extremely unfavorable During the greater part of the month oxcessive heat prevailed and the humidity was unusually great. The distribution of clean and pasteurized milk is believed to have been in a large measure responsible for the low rate of infant mortality during the past month. & 8 The tremendous increase in the valne of real estate in the lower end of Manhattan has gradually brought about the disappearance of the com- paritively small and therefore un- profitable buildings erected in that part of the city some fifty or more years ago. One by one these old landmarks were torn down to be re- placed by modern skyscrapers, spac- ‘ous enough to make them a profit- able investment. One of the last or tihese old buildings, that erected by the Mutual Life Insurance company in 1864 on the southeast corner of Broadway and Liberty street, is now in the hands of the wreckers and will soon be replaced by a new building which the Guaranty Trust Company is going to erece for its own use. The ground was purchased by the Trust Company a short time ago for near- 1y $2,000,000 and in view of the high price of the ground it is rather sur- prising that the new building is to be only five stories high, ox e The job of a ‘policeman in New York City, contrary to the belief of many unthinking and unqualified critics, is by no means a sinecure. Constant changes in the heads of the police department with the resulting changes of policy keep the men in a constant state of uncertainty ag to their duties, the manner in which they were expected to fulfill them, and their responsibilities. Somebody is always meddling and tinkering with the police department, and in every session of the New York.legis- Fourth Street and keep posted. lature one or mofé measures are in- troduced, ‘purpofting to be intended for the reform of the department, in reality, however, only adding to the confusion already existing. Theer are, undoubtedly, men on the police force who are a. disgrace to that body, but the majority of the men are efficient and thonest. The everlasting criticisms of the police force by the public officials and the public press have had the un- fortunate effect of undermining the confidence of the public i nthe in- tegrity of the force and have mis- led the rabble into the belief that the bluecoats were the natural enemies of the people and that the latter had the right to combine against the police officers. Never before have policemen found it so difficult to do their duty and almost daily one or more policemen are mobbed for no other reason than that the mobs in- variably side with the offenders whom the officers try to arrest. .5 Manual Martinez, a wealthy and eccentric Spaniard died here the other day at the Broadway Central Hotel, ‘where he had lived the life of a hermit for more than thirty years. A hermit living in a hotel on Broadway! That may seem strange to many persons who in their minds have always associated hermits with caves or solitary hovels in the woods or mountains, yet it is a fact that Martinez lived in the Broadway hotel for more than thirty years, as much a hermit as ever grouched in a cave. He was at one time a banker, but re- tired from business more than 30 years ago. For some reason he de- veloped strong antipathy against what he called “a church ridden” woryd and withdrew from it, seclud- ing himself with his library of books on history and philosophy in a room on the upper floor of the Broadway Central Hotel.” He paid his bills promptly, but kept strictly to him- self and spoke to no one, not even to the employes of the hotel. Some- times he did not leave the room for many months. - s There are some queer sprigs among the members of the burglar union. One of them broke into an apart- ment up town the other night. When the occupant of the apartment found the following morning that his flat had been broken into, he hurriedly made an inventory of his belongings. Nothing was missing, but on his bureau he found a new silk tie, which the burglar had left there with a note pinned to it, bearing the le- gend, “With my compliments.” It was not the chilliness of the air x s % and water which kept the crowds out of the water at Long Beach last week. Two sharks, each about six feet long, had made their way from the ocean through Reynolds Channel during the early part of the week and remained in the vicinity of the beach, near enough to scare the bathers and inducing them to hug the shore closely. Not only the bathers were scarce in that locality, however, but the fish too. They seemed to realize their danger and sought safety in flight. The sharks were quite active, racing with one another and frequently jumping out of the water, furnishing a rather in- teresting and unusual spectacle to the visitors who watched the frojics of the sharks from the safe vantage points on the beach and on the piers. Sharks have been quite scarce in that locality in recent years, Modern Method. “My books are in a very bad shape,”” said the high financier. “Shall 1 send for an expert ac- countant?"” jnquired the confidental man. “No, Send for an alienist.” School Supplies Are Beginning To Arrive We have made special preparations for the school children.
