Louls, Mo., July 14.—There is a strong probability that slim Harry gallee, the crack St. Louis southpaw who jumped the Cardinals in New York, will be traded to Brooklyn for Pitcher Edward Appleton and cash. The deal has been in the air for some time. Fbbets yesterday changed his attitude about giving up cash for Sal- le. It was said yesterday that he was willing to go as high as $5,000 to get sallee for Brooklyn, and to keep him m strengthening the pitching staff of Philadelphia or New York. _ The Giants are the most serious rivals of Brooklyn in the bidding, and land the plum by offering moro ready money. . St. Louls' wants cash and Rube Schauer from the Giants, but McGraw is not willing to let any of his pitc hers go at present.

Smith plav COLUMBIA TO DROP ROWING. So Says a Report—Rice May Go To Cornell. New York, July 14.—According to a report which gained wide credence vesterday, Columbja will abandon rowing. It was said that the recent poor showing of the Columbia crews on the Hudson and a request by Jim Rice, the coach, that he be released to take charge at Cornell, had prompt- ed the authorities at the local uni- versity to consider seriously abandon- ing the sport. Morton G. Bogue, board of stewards of the Intercolle- giate Rowing association, who is at the head of rowing affairs at Colum- bia, sald vesterday that a meeting to consider the problem had been called at the Columbia university club for last night. At the club it was denied that any meeting was being held. Followers of rowing would be greatly chagrined to see Columbia abandon a sport in which it has been a prime mover. The trouble lies not 50 much in the men at Columbia, but in the system, which discourages par- ticipation in the sport. Rowing is no sport to be conducted on a pinchpenny policy. chairman of the M. W. SAVAGE Minneapolis, July 14.—M. W. Sav- age, owner of several of the most celebrated pacing and trotting horses in the world, is dead today.

Walnut Hill park, Saturday, 3 p. m will be the scene of another great has- tle between Fafnir Bearing vs. New | Britain Machine Co. Fafnir Bearing won last Saturday but the Machine shop boys had one bad inning in which they played ragged and they could not overcome the early lead of | the Ball-Bearlng boys. Stanley, who needs no introduction to baseball fans in the city will pitch for Fafnir and Conelly will catch. Dujack will be on the mound for the Machine shop boys and either Noonan or Halleran will be on the recelving end. Larry Mangan will umpire. A record at- tendance is anticipated as shown by the large crowd at last Saturday’s game in which the receipts surpassed that of any previous games this year, ‘At St. Mary's playground there will he two games played. Stanley Works vs. Corbin Screw at two o’clock. North & Judd vs. Corbin Screw at four o'clock.” Stanley Works lost their lead last Saturday and was replaced by Fafnir Bearing. North & Judd has worked hard all week in prepar- ing for a great battle Saturday. Cor- bin Screw has been strengthened b the addition of several college play- ers. And as they have yet to win a game they will try for a double vic- tory Saturday. The batteries for the first game, Stanley Work Jackson and Peterson Corbin Screw, Beck- man or Kolosky will pitch and Ste- panian will catch for the second game. | North & Judd, Scott and Clinton, Cor- I 'hin screw, William, Beckman and Stepanian.
