HURST AND GERMANY.
scrnppy Umpire Ridicuied Peitz and
His "Tipo Trick.

One good story is out as a sequel to
the Hurst-Peitz argument and one
writer says: "Peltz has been sore at
Hurst ever since Tim told the story
about Heiney trying to tip a bat like
Connie Mack used to do when he was
q star catcher. Tim in describing
Heiney's imitation of Mack said:
at reminded me of a new brakeman
on a narrow gauge railroad trying to
signal the engineer with q lantern.
1t was done so awkwardly that a blind
man sitting in the stand called my at
tention to it.
"'Ever since the story was published
over the country the German catcher
has been threatening to get even With
Tim, and yesterday was his chance.
However, honors were about even.
Hurst was game to the finish. He
neither put Peitz out of the game nor
fired him. When Tim was asked by
one of the Pittsburg players why he
did not put Heiny out of the game he
said:
"Why, any time a German mug like
that goes up against me will give him
a show. 1 had no right to fine him. 1
should have fined myself for letting a
Dutch shoemaker like that land on
me-"

ALL TO THE RESCUE.
How the Glass Arms Got tho Ball
Back Again.

"Down in Atlanta in '9i," said Jimmy
Ryan, the other day, 'Rasty Wright
and Big Carroll were playing in the
outfeld. The former couldn't throw
across the street, while the latter was
lobbing them along like a shotputter.
The club signed Billy George, the old
New York left-hander and naturally
both Rasty and Carroll were afraid
that George would show them up in
throwing, says a Chicago paper.
Nov, the Joke was that George
couldn't throw ten feet that year, but
nobody in Atlanta knew it. So when
Carroll and Wright took him out for a
walk on the night Of his arrival they
lost no time in asking him how his arm
was.
How are yer THROWN, Billy, this
year?' asked Rasty.
Yer ought ter see me- replied
George. I'm lining them down ter the
pan like a shot
Carroll and Wright went to bed
with feelings of uneasiness, and George
figured out how he could bluff it further.
The next day George went into right
field, and the first batter UP hit high.
hard liner over Bits head. George
stood still a moment and the others
watched him. Then he turned and
shouted:
" TO the rescue men'
"They went out in single file like a
tribe of Indians, and it took nine
throws to get the ball back into the
diamond"

MAHER.SHARKEY FIGHT.
Rumor That the sharkey End Isn't on
the Level.

San Francisco, August There is
every reason to believe that IL the
proposed Maher-Sharkey fight in this
city takes place at all II will be to
finish. The contract binds Sharkey
and Maher to fight 20 rounds or more
under Marquis of Queensberry rules
on October IL. One peculiar clause,
which appears to be of precautionary
nature, stipulates that the contest may
occur between the hours of noon and
midnight on the date in question, the
principals to have two weeks notiica-
tion as to the particular hour when
they shall appear in the ring.
BY reading between the lines of the
agreement 1t is not difficult to draw
the conclusion that II Is the intention
of the local club to bring about a finish
contest.
The local sporting people do not take
much stock In Zeke Abraham's alleged
offer of $4,000, however. One promin-
ent sport said yesterday: "The offer of
$4,000 for a limited or even a finish
fight between Maher and Sharkey is
absurd. / pity Maher IL he is drawn in
to a fight under any such representa-
tions. We will see a repetition Of the
Sharkey- -Fitzsimmons outrage"
He further said that Abrahams and
Lynch, Sharkey's manager. were in to-
gether.

BUNDLE CARRIERS FOR WHEELS.
Simple Manner in Which Packages
MAY be Carried.

Nearly everyone who rides has more
or less occasion to carry packages, and
cyclists are forever casting about for
an ideal bundle-carrier, Quite an
amount is spent in experimenting with
the various recommended devices, only
to find them not exactly suited to the
purpose, either being too complicated
for quick use, or failing to hold the par
eel intact.
The article best adapted for this pur-
pose is a pair of rubber trouser guards
whose elasticity admits of carrying
either large or small bundles. They
are fitted with strong hooks and will
last for several seasons. There is no
slipping of the packages, nor do they
mar the looks of the machine. When
not in use they are so small that they
are easily stored away in the tool bag.

Like RosalinG in the play, he is more

Here is a warm shot" for the aggres-
sive Pat Tebeau to receive from one of
his home papers, the Cleveland Press:
Something is wrong with the Indians
when home audiences at Cincinnati and
Louisville keep shouting to them to get

getting $500 or $i00 a month ought to be
able to keep awake two hours out Of the
twenty-four.'
Though Jack Warner has fooled all his
critics by his steady day-in-and-day-out
work for Scrappy, Jack will never take

mechanic at his business, but Is not

are artists and 6iplomatsts in the knack
of coaching the young pitchers and study

ATLANTIC LEAGUE.
Lancaster Makes II Fifteen straieb,


Lancaster Aug. 17-Lancaster kept up
Its continuous performance today, em-
phasizing It's fifteenth successive victory
by administering a coat OF whitewash to
Richmond, the first seen on the home
grounds this season. The wretched work
of Stocksdale, who essayed to play right
field for the visitors, was responsible for
the four runs made by Lancaster in the
first inning. With two men out and two
on bases, the educational Lacquer dropped
very easy fly, and after the next man
had been given a base on balls, Stocks
dale ran away from another very simple
one, and two more runs came in. He
was then shifted to left, Kahn coming
over to right and the latter's muff of a
fly gave batsman two bases, the run
ner scoring moment later on q single.
Stocksdale was no more of a success in
left than he had teen in right as his mis-
judgment allowed Butermore a two-base
run what should have been an out and an
other run was thus tailed. The leaders
played a great game, the work of Madi-
son, Yeager and Roth being especially
fine, while for Richmond Elberiield and
Mcdonald did excellent work. In the
face of his miserable support Schmidt
pitched a good game Score: RH.E.

THE SONG OF sOCKALEXIs.
CHAPTER T

Far to northwurd where the forests
Bend before the cruel Storm-King;,
Where the ice is thick in winter,
Where the landlords and the prices
Fright the tourists in the summer;
For on northward in his wigwam
Dwelt the gentle Sockalexis,
Dwelt the young buck, Sockalexis.
Peaceful was his heart within him;
Peaceful was his thirst within him;
Undeveloped were the muscles
OF his throat-his tank-em-whoop up.

BICYCLE GOSSIP.

While the meeting of the Central
Labor union was going on in New York
Sunday, Delegate John r. Maher, of
the Liberty Dawn Association of
Coachmen, appeared In bicycle Co.'S
tune and brought bicycle into the
hall with him. Delegate DAILY, Of the
metal polishers, examined the wheel
and then shouted: There is delegate
here who rides wheel with a scab
saddle" ''Who?" said several dele
gates. IT must be the man." said
Delegate Maher. A laugh followed, as
Maher Is a great stickler for trades
unionism. WELL it's my first offence"
he continued, land give you my word
that did not know it, but will have
the saddle changed at the first oppor-
tunity." The delegate was honorably
acquitted and the affair was consider
ed good joke on him.
The camp committee Of the Chicago
Associated Cycling Clubs has about
perfected plans for the first annual
encampment of bicyclists, to be held
from August l to %. The location has
not been decided on, but it is proposed
to pitch the tents in the vicinity of
Fort Sheridan. Each club is to have
its own tent, where those who wish
to spend a night may sleep free Of
charge. ArraN ements are also being
made for tents for<each newspaper,
There will be a large tent for the ac-
commodation of unattached riders.
The police of the prospect Park,
Brooklyn squad, Sunday afternoon
threw ou. the drag net on the cycle
path of the Ocean Parkway and cap
tured eighteen scorchers. The sudden
squirt Of activity on the part of the
police was occasioned by complaints
that had reached the police early in
the afternoon. 1t was estimated that
there were thirty thousand wheels in
procession on the path.

A PITCHERS BATTLE.
WiIkes-Barre's Errors and Harper's
Nerve at Critical Times Enabled
the Miners TO Win.

Six Wilkes-Barre hirelngs tried their
luck at batting Harper's curves in the
first inning Of yesterdays game and
succeeded in making one hit which,
With two bases on balls, nctted them
one run. Barry made a two-Dase hit
10 right centre for the Miners in their
initial inning but no runs resulted.
The visitors punched two singles in
their second inning and als0 secured
a base on balls. filing the bases With
Cnly one out. The situation made them
feel tfat the advance agent Of prosper
iry was at hand until Shannon went
cut on line drive to Griffin who 1lelded
sh quickly that the visitors were un-
able to score. Meaney, the erstwhila
reliable Scranton batter, was entreated
by a small contingent of WilEes-Barr
"Ioo;ers" on the bleachers 20 knock er
over the fence" but his sympathy for
Scranton restrained him to the extent
of Il nice, easy Erounder to Barry who
threw Bottenus out at second.
Eagan, Griffin and Boyd were the only
ha;tcrs for Scranton who faced Odwell
in the third inning and they vera dis
Insed Of on three pitched balls, Ather-
ton pulling down Eagan's line hit, AIea-
ney capturing Gritlin's long 1ly, DigSlns
being kind enough to catch q foul from
Boyds bat before the latter had time to
start on his sprint for first base.
In the three succeeding innings there
were but nine of the Baron batsmen
who had a turn at bat. Harper pitch
cd excellently during these three in
nings striking out one batter In each
inning and allowing no hits nor bases
on balls.
The fourth was Scranton's lucky in
ming. Barry was the first man up, and
he started the ball a. rolling with a
very safe single along the third base
line to left. Bonner evidently thought
this was safe territory, and so he drove
a grounder to Atherton. who gathered
it in neatly and threw it to second the
proper place, according to Hoyle, with
the intention of shutting Barry off,
by the time Meaney had fielded the
stray ball, Barry was on third and
Bonner was gamboling around his own
familiar territory.
1t was now Bill Massey's opportunity
and he took advantage of the situa-
tion His three-base drive to right field
gave Scranton two runs, and he scored
on Eagan's tWo-base hit to center
Walters reached first on a poor throw
by Atherton and tried to score from
a long tWo-base hit to center by Bon
ner Luck was with him, and he sue
ceeded in crossing the plate safely on
a muff by Dggins. This was the last
of the scoring by the Miners.
