Perhaps the first point which strikes one
minded TO be critical is that tawdry varis-
ties In neckwear are not seen much In the
better shops. The first influx OF decorative
neckties brought in a meaner grade. such
things usually have found their way to
the bargain table. and even the least ex-
pensive OF the new ones shown has some
character.
A tidy fresh example OF the inexpensive
kind is a butterfly knot OF cherry tareta,

POMPADOUR JIM.
Goes to Bath Beach and Selects Train
ing Staff

Rev York, Aug. 3.-James j. Corbett
went down to Bath Beach this afternoon
and is now ready to enter upon active
training for his go with Kid Mccoy on
the 30th. The big fellow will box with
Charley Golf, who is about McCoy's size,
and has developed wonderfully as a
clever sparrer. Rubin is. of course in
training there and the two will work
together a great deal. Later on Corbett
will have a heavyweight wrestler down
to the quarters to rough it with him.
Mccoy has not yet secured his train
ing staff, but will go to Saratoga at the
earliest period and get into shape. The
latter is very confident of winning, and
reiterates his willingness to stake every
thing he owns that he will turn the
trick.
The bout has practically overshadowed
the Ruhlin-Fitz go temporarily, and the
opinions of the sports are about divided
as to the ultimate outcome, though
among the followers of the fistic game
the odds seem slightly in Corbett's
favor, judging by what one hears around
the resorts, where fight talk is discussed
with that assurance which comes from
frequent settings at the ringside. Cor

sHoRTsroP MARKET POOR
LOTUS Searching Hard For Man to
Fill Clingman's Place.

New Yo->-, Aug. S.-Manager Lotus is
on a still hunt for first-class shortstoD.
He has his emissaries watching nearly
every minor league in the country in the
hope of finding some one capable of fill
ing the position satisfactorily So far,
however, his search has been unavailing.
The fact of the matter is there are no
new shortstops entering the game that
are proving better than minor league
players
Good, frst-class shortstops are rarity.
There are only a few, a very few. in the
game today. Yet all the clubs have first
rate men, though most of them are ahead
of the Orphans in this particular
SandoW MerteS has played the position
since Lotus decided to give Clingman a
rest But the place is new to the French
man, its duties arduous and he has not
entirely recovered from his rheumatism.
The. great redeeming feature of Mertes'
work is his fine batting record. When
he comes to the plate he can be depended
upon to give a good account of himself.
LOTUS says his search for. material
has revealed to him the dearth of good
men entering baseball a profession.
The truth of the matter is, he says, the
only good shortstops in the country to-
day are the men playing in the National
league.

MAY REDUCE SALARIES.
Magnate Rogers Hints ofSuch Action
If Crowds Do Not Increase.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 3.-Colonel
Rogers, president of the Philadelphia
Baseball club, makes the significant
statement that the players will be lucky
if the present salaries are maintained
in the future, owing to, he says, the
decrease in attendance at games. He
continues:
1.-The officers of the Philadelphia club
are not opposed to our players Joining
any protective association which they
think will be conducive to their business
welfare, and, while L am not author
lied to speak for the league, 1 see no
reason why we should not treat with re-
spect any complaint as to justice to
player or any defect in our rules or
contracts.
Il have reason to know that the fall
ing off of gate receipts has been almost
general. A club must win nearly all
the time to draw old-fashioned crowds,
and the Players Protective association
ought to devote it's energies to compel
its members to live up to league rules
and play the game as true sportsmen
and gentlemen should, thus cOaxing
back the many disguised patrons and
swelling their numbers with new Access
sions. That is the surest plan of main
tanning and increasing existing sal
