ON THE FIRST BOUND WITH OLERKIN, Frank McGuiré of Wallace street has stepped forward to announce to the werld that he 18 managing a basg- ball team at present that throws down the gauntlet to meet any team in the six wards in this cit; the state of Cennecticut, And the United Btates of America. 'That is just how good “Mac" thinks his team {s. He further states that although it is an indoor team, the clubs plays swell baseball outdoors, Asked what the name of the team is, Mac says that up to this time, there has heen 1o christening. Any ambitious basehall aggregation seeking to meet this bunch of whirlwinds, can he accom- modated by communicating with him through Engine company No. 6. It must be readily admitted that in the estimation of ““Mac”, he heads some organization. Another thing he wishes to impress is this, that he is also the captain of the team; in fact, he goes further to admit that he is pretty near “the whole works." The Kaceys will meet tomorrow | night at St. Mary's field for practice. Manager John Tobin will have his | @orbin team out at Walnut Hill park this evening for practice. | ) The first meeting of the season of the Nutmeg Juniors football club will be held tomorrow evening. Of last year's snappy eleven, the following are requested to be on hand: Ray Boehm, B. Connell, Howie Belser, John Valentine, Tim. Ryan, Lew Rock and Pat O'Brien. A captain and manager for the coming season will be chosen at the meeting tomor- row night. The sporting editor of the New Haven Union speaks very plainly of the Kaplan-Wagner bout tonight. He says that the promoters could have done better by matching Kaplan with some one in his class, and not making it possible for the Meriden boy to get another pasting. Charlie Pilkington, the popular Meriden boxer, will swap mitts with Nick Foley of New York in a 12- round bout before the Queensboro club, on Saturday evening. According to all accounts *“Irish Johnny” Curtin was given a pretty raw deal last Monday night at Woon- socket, R. 1. The decision in the bout with Young Montreal, giving “Monty” the award after Curtin had won the bout, was rapped in good shape by the Providence Journal. The highway leading into Meriden will be thickly populated with fans heading toward Hanover park, for the Kaplan-Wagner bout tonight. I ity | The naming of Vincent Richards, | @ member of the American Davis Cup team, has caused a surprise in tennis cireles. It had been expected that | the committee would select W. M. Washburn. Richards is a fine player, who lacks experience through youth, but it would not be surprising if he came through in the greatest tennis opportunity that has been put hefore him. The police at Syracuse, N. Y., have started a crusade against the selling of basebdll pools in that city. Howard Fitzgerald, centerfielder of the Amarillo clubs of the West Texas league, has been purchased by the Chicago Cubs. Nate Seigel, of Boston, will meet “Bermondsey Billy”” Wells at New York on next Monday night. Charley Harvey, manager of Wells, intends to go after Jack Britton, if his man wins | the coming bout. According to plans of Tex Rickard, the Dempsey-Willard “thing’” will be held in Jersey City about October 6. There are thousands of boxing fans who do not care if it ever takes place. Willie Spencer, of Newark, N. J, practically clinched the American professional bicycle championship last night, by winning the two-mile event at the Velodrome track, Newark, J. Jese R. Capablanca, the Cuban player, defeated R. O. Yates of Eng- land, in the international chess tournament at London, yesterday. Johnny Dundee has joined Charlie White in challenging Benny Leonard for a chance at the lightweight title. Hod Eller, former pitching ace of the Reds, and Cueto, a shortstop once a major leaguer, have been purchased by the Mobile club of the Southern agociation. Eller was secured from Oakland, Cal, while Cueto moves on from Seattle, Wash, Wrestling has been 'banned at the West Virginia University by an edict of the State Board of Education and State Board of Control. John Shibe, owner of the Philadel- phia Athletics, has become assoclated with Willlam M.

According to Grover Alexander, veteran pitcher, majority of players are swinging heavily at the ball now, and having new bats made with smaller grips in an effort to knock it over the fence. “Where I used to have four or five assists in every game,” said Alexand- er, "I rarely have a chance at one now. The ball goes past the hox so fast the pitcher has no chance for an any more.” The sacrifice fly has largely placed the squeeze as a method of bringing home a runner on third, ac- cording to baseball veterans. In Sun- day's game between the Cubs and the Glants, Zeh Terry pulled off the first Cleveland assist or their apponents this season, Smith, who fielded the bal was 8o sur- prised he let Terry cross first when saw it was too late to prevent Heathcote from scoring Recause the ball is so lively, sald batters rarely take a trying to lay the ball down in front of the plate, as it is almost ceftain to turn into an easy infield out. it INDIANS IN FLORIDA.

Not even the bride's mother father knew of it until they read Iittle plece in the papers saying that | Miss Flora Loulse Nelson, 25 of Union Hill, N, J., announced her mar- riage last July 8 to the count, After telling reporters,- who found him pacing before the cosmetic coun ter, that he would rather be a $2,000 a year floor-walker in New York than a nobleman in Seveille, the count dis coursed on the fedding. Wife “In For it." “I fear,” he sald, with a sigh, T fear that 1 shall have to give my wife the dickens tonight. “We were married at the pal buflding,” he remarked. “We in- tended to have another ceremony in September at the Spanish mission on Riverside drive. Then would be the time for the announcement—when we have suitably prepared the engraved letter, as is fitting, is it not?" Ever since thé wedding the tess has heen living with her parents, just as always, and the count has kept to his own lodgings in New| York. It seems the countess figured if her mother got the news of wedding from the newspapers while the daughter was away from home, she'd have time to get over her first | reaction to the {idea by the time |daughter returned.

Titles and nobility—I have grown away from that stuff.” Who knows, thought the inquiring reporters, but what the count has al- 8o a sentimental attachment to the cosmetic counter. For it was there he told them that he met Miss N son, who had come to buy and mained to fall in love. When he got to New York, 12 years ago, the purse was getting thin and %0 he gave up being a count and went to work. At the Spanish consulate, De Jiminez's claim to a title could not be confirmed. RICHARDS IS CHOSEN Star Selected As Youthful Tennis A Member of American Davis Cup Team, By Committee. New York, Aug. 10.—America's de- tense of the Davis Cup, emblematic of world superiority in tennis, will be in the hands of the present national champlon, two of his predecessors and a youngster new to international com- petition, when the challenge round is played at Forest Hills, L. I, Sept. 1, and 4. William T. Tilden, 2d, of Philadel- phia, present title holder; Willlam M Johnston of San Francisco and R. Norris Willlams, 2d, of Boston, hoth title holders of the past, and Vin- cent Richards of Yonkers, the youth- ful star, will compose the team. Wil- liams will be the captain, as he was last year. The selections were made yester- day afternoon at a three-hour sitting of the Davis Cup committee which lias spent the last few weeks watch- ing all the hest players in the coun- try. Which of them will play in the singles and doubles was not decided and probably will not be made known until 24 hours before play started. The appointment of Richards, who, though only 19 years old, is the third ranking player in the country, came as a surprise. He displaces Watson Washburn of New York, doubles team mate Willlams and a thor oughly seasoned international match player and a veteran of Davis Cup contests.

She negotiated the par 72 course in . clipping three strokes off her own record, made two weeks ago, and | six strokes off the best previous rec- ord, made by Miss Marion Hollins, | holder of the women's national title. She started out poorly, taking a 6 on the first hole, but did par or better on all of the succeeding seventeen with the exception of the fourth and ninth. Her only hirdie was a 4 on the par 5 seventh. Her round yesterday would have beaten the best ball of Taylor and Herd here two weeks ago by 1 up.
