Vice President Moses Frank and Capt.
wiIbert Robinson were in New York

traordinary work for the Baltimore
baseball club.

Hugh Jennings. who made his name and
fame in Baltimore. has become man
ager-captain of the Orioles in place OF
Robinson. and with Jennings come three
other players.
Mr.. Frank returned to the Monumen-
tai City last night and brought the news.
Robbie is to come in the morning ana
bring the players.
This does not mean that there is any
quarrel between the club and Robinson.
The fact is, he notified the club month
or two ago that he wished 10 be relieved
OF the management Upon his promise
to continue playing with the club the
officials promised to see what could be
done
Mr. Frank says that only big money,
much persuasion and the giving up of a
man now on the Baltimore club brought
the change and the friendship for Balti-
more of Harry r. Vonderhorst, who was

SAILOR DROWNED FROM
CUP YACHT COLUMBIA
The Remaining Races of the Series
Abandoned.

NEWPO TT, July 3.-A gloom was cast
over the racing yachtsmen yesterday
when Car, b. Olsen. second bowsprit
end man on the Columbia. was lost
overheard as the yacht was pitching in
a big sea. This Is the first drowning
accident from an American ninety-foot-
er while racing Olsen was out on the
bowsprit getting out a jib topsail when
the Columbia dtved into big sea and
he was washed overheard. Two men who
were out with him were washed back to
the yacht Both were considerably
bruised and had to be given medical
attendance
AS soon as Olsen went down E. D.
Morgan, who was at the wheel of the
Columbia. threw her into the wind. and
her forestaysail was lowered Life buoys
were thrown out and the dingy was put
over the side with Second Mate Edward
stationed upon the mast hoops to keep
watch, but Olsen never came to the sur
face.
Only ten minutes after the start the
jaws of the Constitutions gan were car
ried away and in a second the gaff broke
and doubled up about one-third OF tho
distance up. When the gaff broke the
mainsail was torn from the luf, nearly
all the way to the leach at a point
about twenty feet below the throat. This
put her out Jf the race.
Mishaps to the Constitution and the
Columbia left the Reliance to sail over
the course alone, but she did not come
out with a whole skin. The terrific
pounding she received from the seas
dented one of her bow plates on the
port side fer a distance OF about five
feet. This accident Is not serious, as the
plate can soon be Strengthened out 1t
was reported after the race that the
Reliance was leaking. Two years ago
one of the COlumbia's stanchions was
doubled up IN just such a sea.

The game yesterday between Detroit
and Washington was one OF the best seen
in the American League this season. II

Inns superior pitching won for his team.
Only three hits were the Senator's able
to cop off the Detroit man.
Wilson. too. had on his pitching togs,
and for eight fast innings neither side
crossed the rubber.
Then came one OF those hair-raising
finishes In the ninth. After Wilson had
been passed up. Charlie Moran scratch
ed hit past second base. With only
one out. WashingtOn's prospects of scor>
ing looked bright. but Mullin was equal
to the task He struck out SeIbach. and
made Clarke hit to the infield. forcing
Moran out at second.
In Its half of the ninth session Detroit

The funniest home run I ever saw

there with a major league team and we
were playing the locals. One OF the At

would go for a single, but the first
thing ! knew he was running around like
crazy man and slappiug his head.
The ball rolled back, but he paid no
attention to It at all, and instead Of
fielding u came in on a dead run. The
runner got around easy, and when
sot up TO ask Schaner what was the
riatter. I saw there was swarm Of
hornets buzzing around him. The ball
had gone into the nest and they were
getting even with Schaffer.
