Proavister, Chicago, Aug. 12.—In a statement i dent of the Chicago club in tional league, charged that the New York team would not win the Nation- al league pennant “without undue as- sistance from other teams.” The statement was issued in regard to a despatch sent from New York Saturday which stated that TRoger Bresnahan, manager of the. St. Louis club in the National league, was inter- ested in a world’s tour planned for the New York ciub provided the Glants won the championship. In his state- ment Mr. Murphy says in part: “I am surprised to see Bresnahan's name connected with such an enter- prise. It looked at first lilke a simple and harmless plan to pick up a little easy money, and so far as know there had been no opposition to it. “But when they incorporated, be- coming a’stock selling possibility, and using the name of such men as Bres- nahan—manager of a team that can help us or hurt us a whole lot in the pennant race—the matter ely different aspeoct. “As a matter of fact, the Giams haven't won the race, and don’t think they will win it—without the undue assistance from other teams. “I want to see the Cardinals play the game against the Giamts and play it right up to the hilt. I can hardly believe that Bresnahan would allow himself to be drawn into a financial scheme whose success might depend entirly upon his own team losing and a rival team winning, It is contrary to all traditions of baseball “The race in the National league must he run out strietly on its merits, Not even a suspicion can be permitted to creep into the situation right now.” New York, Aug. 12.—Roger Br nahap, manager of the St. Louis N tional League club, had left the city at the time of the arrival of the Chi- cago despatch in which Charles W. Murphy, president of the Chicago club, was quoted in criticism of Bresna- han's reported interest in a world tour of the New York Giants and all- Amerfcan league stars. Bresnahan’s connectton with the plan s said here to be only that of a prospective man- ager of the all-American team. In baseball circles Mr, Murphy's declaration that the New York team would not win the National league pennant “without undue assistance from other teams” was read with sur- prise. It was pointed out that Bres- nahan’s club had Been playing the fastest kind of ball against the Glants, having won five.out of the seven re- cent games between the two cluba. It is understood here that the world tour, for which a managing company was Incorporated at Albany last week, will be undertaken regardless of whether the Glants win either the league or world’s pennant.. WATERBURY 3—NEW LONDON 1. Connecticut Leaguers Get Jump on Independents and Hold Lead to End, In & close and interesting game at New London Monday afternoon the New London Independents met defeat 'at the hands of the Waterbury State league team 3 to 1. Waterbury play- ed two New Haven men to talg the plzces-of players who were taking part tn the benefit game at Spring- fleld. The visitors scored their three tallies in the first inning on three hits, coupled with errors by the New Lon- don fielders. After this the home team tightened up and held the visitors from scoring. Boldt of New London pitched a good. consistent game, with WILL NEW YORK WIN PENNANT? President Charles W. Murphy Says They Can’t Without Un-|. due Assistance from Other Teams—Implies that Bres- nahan Would Lay Down to McGraw’s Team. ——— Foye on the receiving end. The whal- sued today, Charles W. Murphy, presi- | ing town stars were unable to con- s the Na- |nect effectively with Parker, who | twirled great ball for Waterh Lemieux caught for the visitors. New London’s single run was score n the sixth inning. There were some bad errors made during the game, which also included some brilliant fielding stunts. “Slim* Mac, the Nor- wich boy, playing first for New Lon- dom, put up a perfect game, while the shortstop and third basemen pulled off some hair-raising stops. Cabrera, the Cuban, at short and the third baseman for Waterbury also shone in the field. Gleason ‘of this eity was umpire. About a dozen Norwich fans took in the game. TY COB8 ATTACKED BY THREE THUGS. Suffers Slight Knife Wound in Shoul- der as Result of Encounter. Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 12.—Hughey Jennings and his Detroit Tigers stop- ped off here on their way to New York and defeated the Syracuse state league club, 3 to -, Errors were directly re- sponsible for the visitors’' three tallles. Ty Cobb played in left field, despite the fact that he has a bad leg, is suffer- ing from a hard cold, and has a minor though painful knife wound in his shoulder, recelved in Detroit when he was attacked by tbree thugs on the way to the train. Cobb was driving his automobile to the station, accompanied by his wife, when three assailants appeared from behind a wooden building at the cor- ner of Trumbull and Bagg streets and ordered the car to stop. The men were partly under the in- finence of lquor, and when the ma- chine came to & stop Cobb jumded from the car and began to argue with the men. 1 The three then demanded money from the ball player, and with the de- mand all three made a‘lunge at Cobb. Cobb attacked the trio and then began a battle royal. One man was knocked down with a blow on the chin, and then one of the others saw that they were up against an athlete and began to run, while the third one grabbed Cobb around the neck and the, pair went into a clinch. ‘While the pair were wrestling about the thug puiled a knife and inflicted a wound in Cobb’s back. Cobb finally shook off the assailant before he could cause any further injury. Cobb was treated by Dr. F. W. Van Lengen on the arrival of the Detroit team Two stitches had to be taken.

Profit Taking Failed to Make Materiail Effect Upon Advanced Prices: New York, Aug. 12—The sallent fea- ture of today’s stock market lay in 'the fact that extensive profit taking falled to exercise more tfia.u a slight effect on the higher level attained in the earller part of the day. Advances ‘were general at the opening and these 'Were extended before mid-day with no decided reversal until the final hour, ‘when selling of Reading which had Dot yet participated appreciably in the rise, caused recessions from the best in most active issues. Undoubtedly the promises contain- ed in last week’s highly favorable crop report was the most potent factor in today's further advance, even though the stocks that made largest gains were not those which derive greatest benefit from large cereal harvests. Canadien Pacific was the most prom- fuent of the grain carriers with an- other high record, which was reflect- ed in the strength of its subsidiaries. Of the better known grangers St. Paul ‘Was strong, recovering a of its semi-annual dividend, but Louis- ville and Nashville and Atlantic Coast line gained more than other standard railers. Reports of an impending dis- tribution to Louisville and Nashville share holders, which would paturally redound to the advantage of the At- lantio Coast line were again circulated. United States Steal was most active of the ndustrials, and, while it scored its best prices of the year, made no very substantial response to last Sat- urday's « statement of “ynfilled ton- nage,” which was somewhat in \ex- cess of optimistic forecasts. Copper shares were in better demand, also those of allled concerns ,including Smelting, while a number of mis- cellaneous issues made more or less material gains, Including General Chemical which rese 10 points. Bonds were active, broad and fr- regular, with some inquiry for con- vertible issues. Total sales, par value, $2,509,000. . United States government fours de- «clined 1-4 per cent. on call. STOCKS.

Fast Game for Benefit of W. H. Gen- est of Springfield Cub. Springfield, Mass., Aug. 12.—Spring- fleld defeated an all-star team from the Connecticuf, league 3 to 2 today in a benefit performance for W. H. Gen- est of the Springfield team. Genest sustained a compound fracture of the right leg two weeks ago. The visiting players were under the management f Tom Connery of Hartford. The game was brilliantly played. In events before the ball game the winners were as follows: Circling the bases, High of Hart- ford, 15 1-5 seconds; going to first on bunts, Stow of Bridgeport, 3 7-10 sec- onds; aocurate throwing, Flaherty of Springfleld; long distance throwing, Waite of Springfield. 312 feet, 1 inch; 100 yard dash, Welgold of Springfleld; Fungo hitting, Waite of Springfleld, 364 feet, 5 inches; 100 yards dash (slow class), Nichols of Waterbury. President James H. O'Rourke of the Connecticut league attended and con- tributed $50 to the Genest fund. CHARTER OAK PROGRAMME. Entries for 8even Late Events Will Close the 20th, The programme of the races to de held during fair week at the Charter Osak track at Hartford in the grand circuit meeting has been announced, and there are a number of late clos- ing events, seven in all, for which en- tries may now be made. The emtries for these events will close the 20th, but records made that date are no bar eo performance. L The ev which are sifll open are as follot 2.05 pace, purse $1,000; 2.15 trot, $1,000; 2.07 pace, $1,000; 2.06 trot, $1,000; 2.10 trot, $1,000; 2.12 pace, $1,- 000; 2.24 trot $1,000. The has been considerable discus- sjon as to the division of thé money in 6 races at the grand circuit meet- ings this season, and for the better s understanding of the division by the followers of the races this explanation is given. The horse winning the re- quired number of heats takes first money. In the division for second, third .and fourth money, the question of winning a heat does not enter. The average position of the horses as they finish determines their places. A race which fully illustrates the case In point was the 2.15 trot at the North Randall track in Cleveland. Funny Crank won one of the four heats while Castledome @id not win a heat, finish- ing third twice and second twice. Un- der the old rtle in vogue last year Funny Crank would have taken second money, but now he takes third mon- ey, as in the other three heats he fin- ished in fourth place. His average po- sition was 3 1-4, while that of Castle- dome was 21-2, giving the latter sec- ond money. BRESNAHAN PICKS GIANTS, Belioves Cubs Dangerous, But Not QGoed Enough too Win, “The Giants ought to win the pen- nant” declares Roger Bresnahan. “They have a good lead and their pitchers are still in winning form. If the Cubs get near enough, however, there may be a catastrophe. The Cubs are playing their best game now, and away from home, too. Their pitchers are showing steady improvement and junless there’s a slipup the team will make a sensational finish. But don't forget that the Cubs will be defeated from time to time and that the Glants | will continue to win a majority of | their remaning games. McGraw hasn’, been extended yet and isn't a bit an- noyed. “With the slump of the Cincinnati Reds just say that the Cardinals are gotng to pass them in a few days and that we will play hard to beat the Philadelphtes out of fourth place, When we tackle the Giants this week Wwe are going to put up a strong fight. Maybe we'll have something to say about the result of the pemmant race, even though we canmot win it our- selves” Western scribes continue to ask Connis Mack about his team's chances for the pennant, and he always re- plies that the Athletics are still in the race, He claims his team is showing more baseball than lthuflm‘(rhem DIAMOND NOTES Pitcher Chalmers of the Phillies has recovered from a lame arm, only to be stricken with a gsore leg. Dubus, the Detroit pitcher, has been presented $500 by Montreal friends for winning ten games in a row. The Boston Red Sox dropped, five of their first seven games on the first irip west, and on the second trip won five of the first seven. Johnny Evers has been, a bear with the stick of late. About three hits in a game is John's idea of doing some- thing to help the Cubs. Pitcher George McConnell of the Highlanders is now showing some of the fancy stuff that made him famous in Rochester last seasosn. Manager Fred Clarke of the Pirates will place Jimmie Viex in Wagners place when the big Drtchman decides to give up baseball for good. “Reindeer” ~ Killifer makes a clever understudy _for Charlie Dooin. The Quaker catcher has a great wing, and he can hit with about any backstop in the league. Frank Chance, the manager of the Cubs, thinks that the Giants have shot their bolt and that the fight is be- tween himself and the Pirates. Pitcher Garlow is the latest Indian to become a star in the fiinging de- partment. He has won 12 straight games for the Hamilton team of the Canadian league. President James H. O'Rourke of the Connecticlt league has instructed his umpires to keep a close watch on the catchers who Insist on pulling the balls over the plate. New York fans are rooting for Bos- ton to win the American league pen- nant, as they flure Rube Marquard a winner, if the Giants and the Red Sox meet In the world’s series. Germany Schaefer is a natural com- edian. Most baseball players of Mis | temperament do not last long in base- | ball, Schaefer goes along with as much ability as ever year after year, Cleveland hes sold Ted Basterly, Tt | looks as it Harry Davis was gotng to make little Bteve O'Nefl his frst catcher. Steve is flelding nioely, but is away off n his batting. 5 v J. H. Halligan, athletio director at Louisana state university, has made a proposition to Manager Devis to take .the Cleveland team to Baton Rouge for spring tratning next year, It has now leaked out that Kesting, the Lewrence spitball pitcher, was sold for $5000 instead of $%000. Of course, Louis Peiper had to get some advertisement out of his crack pitoher, Bifl Sweeney is one star.
