"A bobby has wonderful authority"
said Mr.. Jameson. "All he has to do is

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 10.-Miserable work
today's game with the Browns. Backed
up in proper manner by the three field
ers, the curveless wonder would have
won his game. AS it was he was laid
low by score Of 6 to 3 after an inter-
esting tilt with Frank Donahue, his
team-mate with the Quakers year ago.
In the first inning Lee dropped Hemp
hills high fly and then permitted An
derson's single to roll to the fence,
Heidrick, who had previously singled
and Hemphill coming in with undeserv-
ed counts.
In the fourth Ryan muffed Anderson's
fly. Delehanty also fumbled Kahoe's
easy tap. These two errors, coupled
with three safeties, netted the Browns
three runs.
In the eighth Ryan misjudged Wal
lace's long rap and it went for triple
Mccormick tailed Wallace with long
hit to Lee.
Les redeemed himself for his two mis-
cues by slapping over the right field
fence for four bases in the fourth, Keis-
ter and Coughlin scoring ahead of him.
In all the other innings the Senators
were handed naughts by Donahue.
A promised rally was started after
Coughlin and Lee had been fielded out
in the ninth. Ely walked over the four
balls route and Clarke singled to center
Orth got two HON. RS here last trip and
the fans were fearful that he would

Coughlin's third base play and two

Disgrace to Baseball.

While contrasts are being drawn be-

two leagues. the following extract from
New York Evening Telegram" re-
port of game may be OF some inter-
est:
'One Of the Pittsbu-g players used
profane language that could be heard
plainly in the grandstand. What he
said was a disgrace to the baseball
fraternity. The same player has Of
Tended before. and the only excuse that
can be made for him is that he becomes
so wrapped up in the game he scarcely
knows what he Is saying. AT the same

Take Murrays Into Camp in an Inter

An interesting and exciting game was
played on Poplar Hill yesterday between
the Independent Athletic Club and tho
Murray Stars. The former team won
on: by the score OF 10 to Z. The game
was very lively until the seventh in
ming. when the Independents got TO
Murray's pet curves, and batted out four
runs.
After that the Murrays settled down
and their twirler allowed but four hits.
The feature OF the game was the bat
ting and fielding of Stemm. Thornton,
Kiethley. and Herford. Smiths catch
ing was also noteworthy.

Manager Shettsline Making UP Phillies
for Next Year.
Special to The Washington Times.l


PHILADELPHIA, Aug 10.-Manager
Shettsline has set about signing his de-
sirable players for 1908. He has Huls-
witt and Doom. the two finds of the
present season, hard and fast. Wolver-
ton is also in lire. and three or four
more who will be retained of the present
bunch are expected to put their names
to contracts in a day or two.
Some OF the old players who are ex-
pected to return are Donohue, McFar-
land and Flick. The former two, it is
said. have already signed, and it is said
that Flick has promised "Shetts" that
he will be on hand next spring.
Had Manager Shettsline been allowed
to use his own judgment in signing men
last year it Is not likely that the club
would have lost more than one or two
players.
