Gambling ‘at National Boston, Aug. 4.—The application for the annual license of the Boston Na- tional Baseball team to play games in that city, which has hitherto been is- sued on ‘the first day of August, has been returned to the office of Mayor Hibbard with the disapproval of Po- lice Commissioner Stephen O'Meara. Under the city ordinance the appli- cation goes to the police commissioner for his approval and is then sent to the mayor. -~ 1t is intimated that the commission- er withheld his approval on the ground that gambling was allowed during the! games. While the application can be grant- ed by the mayor without the approval of the commissioner, it is understood that a hearing will be held, and that there will be no interferencs with the playing of games until the matter Is finally adjusted. MASCOTS BRING THEM GOOD LUCK. Well Known Players, Who Have P culiar Hobbies, and Carry Strange Things. Johnnie McGraw, manager of the Giants, believes in mascots, but he is like Manager Lake of the Boston Red Sox in that respect, for both believe that small boys bring them luck. Therefore, Tug Wilson has been_the messenger of good things to the New York team, while Jerry McCarthy has the same homor in Boston. Mike Donlin, before becoming an actor, never failed to carry with him a theat- rical programme, and Frank Stallings of the Highlanders carries a New Jersey peachstone. Fielder Jones of the Chicago White Sox has an Okla- homa gold nugget for a watch charm, and it used invariably to be in Jones' Dblouse pocket when he was on the fleld. Harry Hummel of the Brooklyns owns & piece of trolley wire which is never out of his possession, and Lum- ley of the same team, clings to a piece of Brooklyn bridge cable. Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, has nestled in the left hip pocket of his trousers, a horse chest- nut picked from a tree on_the farm at his birthplace in North Brookfield, Mass., while Joe Cantillon of the Ser ators declares his_mascot is a lithia water glass from the bar of the Riggs hotel in that city. Kitty Bransfleld of the Phillies wears in his cap a fac- simile of a telegram which once gave N. TARRANT & GO, 117 MAIN STREET. Fire, Accident, Health, Liability, Plate Glass and Steam Boiler . ..

Perhaps you may have noticed that player care- fully examining the grass around first base during practice. Well, he's just looking for four-leaf clovers and when- ever he finds one he carries it in his pocket and announces beforehand that his team swill win, He told me once that whenever he failed to find an ex- tra leaf clover he was not at all sur- prised_when the Cubs were defcated. Hughey Jennings of the Tigers has the same hobby; Roger Bresnahan of the St. Louis Cardinals, who is a de- tective in Toledo during the winter months, always wears his badge of office while playing the game, but it is pinned inside his shirt, over the heart; Rube Waddell, of the St. Louls Browns, nurses the minute hand of a Police Commissioner O’Meara Dinpfiom Because of * Held—Detroit and Boston Split Even—Pirates. to Brooklyn—Other Sports.

All these for luck! CARPENTERS VS. INDEPENDENTS Meet Next Sunday on Falls Diamond— shers Island Scheduled for Aug- ust 22, The Norwich Carpenters will line up against the Norwich Town Independ- ents Sunday afternoon on {he Sachém diamond at the Falls. Both teams are fast and about evenly matclied. Both have lost to the Fort Wright team and their game should show up some interesting features. Just to get in the best shape for Sunday afternoon’s game the Carpenters have taken on the Mohican Clerks for Sunday morn- ing, who promise to make them go some to win. On August 22, the Carpenters will go down to Fishers island again to meet Fort Wright once more, and re- trieve their defeat of 3 to 1 last week. Plans are being made for a crowd of 35 or 40 to go down with the local team, the government launch to con- vey them to and from the island. Mohicans Arrange Game. The Mohicans have arranged a ~~me for this week with the fast Carpen- ters' team, and with the new lineup Manager Larkie will surprise the hammer swingers. Gleason, Murnhv Fields and Gallivan are still in the game, and the Hickory Wonder will be in the fleld. Owing to the loss of Captain Gurney a new infielder of abil- ity as a sticker has been signed, hav- ing four home runs to his credit on his college team. A star southpaw and catcher from out of town will compose the batter, and no_doubt a good game can be looked for. The Mohicans play in Willimantic Labor ay. Cincinnati Buys Twirler from Mon- treal. Cincinnati, Aug. 4.—The Cincinnati National league club announced today the purchase of Pitcher Samuel Smith of the Montreal club of the Eastern league. Player Hit by Lightning but Recovers Battle Creek, Mich., Aug. 4.—At Ath- letic park, where the local and Jack- son teams of the Southern Michigan league were playing, Catcher Stringer of the local team was struck by light- ning on the field and thrown to the ground unconscious. He was revived, little the worse for his experience. The storm did much damage to farm buildings and crops. Still Junior National Champions. Narragansett Pier, R. L, Aug. 4— The New Haven polo team retains the junior national championship by de- feating the Bryn Mawr quinteite of Philadelphia today, 7 1-4 to 3, in the Point Judith polo touranment. The game was a fast and interesting exhi- bition throughout. New Haven was the aggressor fro mthe start. FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MARKET RETAINS HIGH LEVEL. Commission Houses Warn Customers of Danger of Reaction, New York, Aug. 4—The stock mar- ket has to contend with the growing conservatism of stock commission houses, which 8 voiced in the warn- ings contained in advices to custom- ers of the high level of the market and the danger of reaction. Each day dur- ing which the advancing tendency en- dures adds to this spirit amongst the professional element and habitual fol- lowers of the market. The number of successive days of advancing prices was cited today with increasing fre- quency as an evidence that reaction was imminent. The professional ele- ment acted on this prospect by putting out short sales and attempting to. force the reaction. The success of this ef- fort was moderate and was mixed With the rise at various new points. This demonstration of, resisting power in the market was accepted as renewed proof of the control held by large financial interests of the course of the market. This control has proved so effective and 80 formidable that it serves to intimidate the opposing par- ty in the speculation, which is without the leadership of any of the powerful and resourceful personalities which have conducted bear campaigns in the past. The mews continues tb indicate enhancing values of securities and the only question in the speculation is of the technical position and whether | prices .have had already more advance than they are entitled to. The im- munity of the call loan market from any influénce of the shifting timid cur- rency makes a bulwark for the specu- lative pggition and encourages the holding of securities, many of which still pay a materially higher invest- ment return than can be secured in the money market. The crop news comes of cheering purport day after day. both wheat and corn sharing the infiuence_of the good advices today. The publication of the net earnings for June and of the fiscal year of the Harriman lines was signalized by an advance in the price of Union Pacific to a new record price, though a sem- blance of authority was given to inti- matione that no change was intended in the dividend declarations. The in- dustrial specialties were the favorites in the day's show of strength. ~Re- ports of increasing purchases of equip- ment by the railroads imply increased value for stock in that group. Their advance is a_corrollary also of the long rise in United States Steel, the market price of which usually bears an approximate ratio to that of companies which use steel in thelr production. A number of these have now risen o rec- ord prices in emulation of the rise in United States Steel. The coppers had the benefit of a higher price for the metal in London and also of rumors reported from London of a coming merger of the largest companies now concerned in the mining, smelting ar sale of copper.

To Catch One by Quick Thinking Part of the Sport, but Trickery Is Not. To catch a sign legitimately, by ob- servation, by quick thinking, is part of the sport. . Marshall of Brooklyn, Kane of Chicago, Doolin of Philadel- phia, are past masters of the art of seeing what the opposing batsmen are trying to do before the effort is made. Efforts have been made in the past to steal signals by the most brazen trick- ery and unsportsmanlike methods. Perhaps the worst case of this sort ever revealed was that of an old Phil- adelphia club of the National league. Here was the greatest ggsregation of batters ever assembled ‘on one team, but, not satisfied with their natural hitting ability, they wanted to know in advance what kind of ball the pitch- er was going to serve so as to in crease their hitting. One of the clev- erest men at interpreting signals who ever played in a baseball game formu- lated the plan. Stationing a confed- erate in the club house in center field. he had him armed with a powerfu pair of field glasses with which to watch the hands of the catchers. At first the confederate signaled batters by raising one arm for a fast ball, the other for a curve, then when the opponents grew suspicions he worked from behind a blind and gave the sig- nal by raising or lowering an awning. If the awning was raised a few inches and held in that position a fast ball was coming, and if it was raised and then dropped the signal was for a curve. The awning worked well, until it was discovered, and then the catcher and his associates invented something new in baseball. They put electric wires underground conngcting the club house with the coachers’ box at third base, and burfed a small wooden box under the ground, the box containing a “buz- zer” A certain nolsy, obstreperous players was stationed at third base with one foot on the box contalning the buzzer, and as the signal was sounded the player stationed over the buzzer could feel the tapping under his foot, and by calliug in & secret word code he warned the batter what the pitcher was going to pitch. Not @ regular player on, the Phila- helphia” téam batted under .300 per cent while the buzzer was 'in opera- tion, and several ‘ot their pitchers and catchers were among the leading bat- ters of the National league. Not satisfied with having that much advantage on the home grounds, the man whe planned the thing followed his team ‘around the country, renting 'windows “overiooking the grounds m each city and wigwagging signals te od spying as Hugh A.

New York, Aug. 4.—On the eve of his departure for Europe tomorrow on the North German Lloyd liner George ‘Washington, J. J.

He did not seem to consider serious Johnson's posting $5,000 in Chicago this week. nd sald it was up to Johnson to meet ‘reasonable conditions.” He adcac that he had received no officlal communi-, cation of Johnson’s action in Chicago. Berger said he hoped to see Johnson in New York in a few days and go over the situation and to receive some bid for the fight from the promoters during Jeffries' absence abroad. Aside from a sojourn at Carlsbad for his health and a reunion with his wife and mother in Germany, Jeffries sald he had no special plans for his Euro- Public Choice Won at Windsor. ‘Windsor, Ont., Aug. 4—Public Cholce finished first in five out of the seven races today.

The pacer Vasten, that won the 2.14 pace 30 handily, at Hillsgrove and the 2.12 pace at Woonsocket, did not finish better than third at Titusville after leaving this city. Billy Snow again showed that he is one of the country’s best teamers with a side-wheeler when he marked the pacing mare Hal Raven in 2.03 3-4, a world's record for a blind horse. Alice D, the mare with which Seidler won the 2.27 pace at the H grove meet, has a license to be some pacer, being sired by Hal Dillard, 2.04 3-4, out of Nellie O., 2.13 1-2, dam of Judex, 2.04 1-4. A 3-year-old trotter taking a recorl of 210 1-2 in a race was the modest performance of a baby trotter whose sire is the champion wagon trotter, John A, McKerron, 2.04 1-4, and whose dam is grand.old Nancy Hanks, 2.04. Trainer Dusty Rhodes shipped from Hillsgrove to Kast Liverpool, 0. and won a couple of races with The Can- non and Danfsh Girl. While at Hills- grove Rhodes took his mare Margery Wilkes to Narragansett to work her over a mile track, as he has her staked on the Grand Circuit. She was second 1;;« year i 2.07 1-2, and has no rec ord. The two meetings held this season over the half-mile tracks at Hillsgrove and Woonsocket reflect great credit on the managements, and they deserve the support of the horsemen and public in general. While the Jonathan Club Racing association pust about broke n on thar Jnly avents, they are right back with dates for a five da: meeting, beginning Aug. 16. The popular young trainer, Tommy Murphy, made good to the owners of George Gano when he won the C. of C. stake, giving the horse a record of 2.04 1-4. This pacer was bought last fall by some Pennsylvania people on the ad of Murphy, and when the C. of of 1909 was over George Gano had won for his owners every nickel of the purchase money. He cost $15,000. The Grand Circuit opening at De- troit the past week will long be re- membered by the followers of the light harness horse. The performance of Hamburg Belle, Nancy McKerron, Margin, George Gano and the blind mare, Hal Raven, were all like cham- pions. “Think of a trotting mare going! a mile in 202 3-4, the first time she turned for the wind. This feat by Hamburg Belle was nothing short of | marvelous, and barring accidents she will certainly go a mile in two min- utes or better.

At any rate, Mr. Galvin came near losing his life. .The revolver was discharged within a few inches of his: temple and thie skin is powder marked. His han was burned with the powder. Mr. Galvin informed the ddetors that he was on a bed and had the re- volver in his hand. ‘There was a dog on the bed at the tme and the canine humped into the 's arm and the pistol was accidentally discharged. The physician who probed for the buliet says there is hole in the man's head and the missile took a downward course and has not been found. Mr. Galvin ‘is sufficiently recovered to tell his friends he will return to work within a day or two, but it is thought prohable it will be weeks instead of days. FIFTY CENTS TO BROADWAY. A Saving of Twenty Cents from Stam- ford by Following This Plan. Stamford people can ride to New York on the New Haven road, now for fitty cents instead of turning over seventy cents as they have been used to deing. This is the way to do it Buy a ticket to New Rochelle and then get three zone tickets at five cents each, which will take you from New Rochelle to Harlem river. At Harlem river take the Third Avenue Elevated for any part of the city you want to' reach. In order to make this route popular the road has put on nineteen addi- tional trans—nine down and ten up— which runs express from New Rochelle to Harlem river. The secret of the whole_matter is that the New Haven road has always been forced to run its trains over the New York Central track from Woodlawn to the Grand Central station and pays thirteen cents for each passenger it thus trans- ports. By the New Rochelle and Har- lem river route it runs all the way on its own tracks. The trip takes only a few minutes more than the other route. The chief objection is that no early morning nor late eyening trains are run this way.—Stamford Bulletin, The Crime of Idleness. leness means trouble for anyone. It's the same with a lazy liver.
