AMERICAN LEAGUERS
DRAW CROWDS.

Those who predicted that the Ameri-
can League would not last through
the season have already learned that
they were far wrong, and that so far
this league has proved even more pop
ular than the National. The attend
ance on the National League games
on July was 1882, and the Ameri-
can League teams drew 62,952 people
according to the official statements.
Boston seems to have things as COM
pletely her own way in the American
as Pittsburg has in the National, and
Cy Young is still looking out for good
timber to give his team staying pow
ers. In the game yesterday Cy pitched
the game himself and held Chicago
down in tirst-class shape, proving that
this veteran has not yet lost his cum
ming in the box. Dunkle for the Chi
cago team was batted all over the
field, trick, by the way, which has
made more than one slabman sad.
Philadelphia, who holds second place
in the American, did not do so well
yesterday, losing to Cleveland. Seven
errors tells the tale of their woes.
Detroit succeeded in returning favors
to Washington by shutting the Sena-
tors out. New York finished nine in
nlngs with slight lead over st. Louis.

feathers sold in London last year was
1908. A package of osprey feathers
varies I'm amount from two to three to
over 100 ounces, but the average is
about thirty ounces to the package.
This gives a total of 1920 ounces, and

"sTATEROOM."
Congressman AIdrich Tells How the
WORD Orfginated.

From the Washington Post.
did you ever hear of the origin Of
the name 'stateroom'?" asked Repre-
probably is not one person in 10000
who ever heard how the name so COM
mon was first sprung. This is the way
It happened: Down in Louisiana Is the
thriving city OF Shreveport. The man
after whom the city was named was
old Capt. Shreve, who used to run sonns
of the finest craft that ever carried the
travelling public up and down the Mis-
sissippi river. Capt. Shreve was a pro-
gressiye sort of old fellow, and he be-
lieved in giving the passengers the
best possible appointments, and his
boats were the most luxurious that
were ever piloted on the famous water
thoroughfare. There used to be ordi-
nary hunks on the line, the crudest
kind of berths. Shreve made up his
mind that something better was de-
manded, and that the more luxurious
night travel was made the more traffic
there would be on his lines. So he had
number OF rooms built on his boats
for night travellers. Then the idea
suggested itself TO him that, instead OF
numbering the rooms, he would give
each or them name. This was done
forthwith. He was a patriotic soul, and
he named the rooms after the great
commemorative through which the
Father of Waters travelled. There, for
instance, was the Mississippi room, the
Arkansas room, the Louisiana room.
the Missouri room, and so on down
the list of states. In looking theae
names for passengers e called them
stateroons;' hence the now universal
expression"

Boston now has such "a clear lead
that nothing but a series of improba-
Bile reyerses can shake that team from
its lofty perch. The Athletics, however,
remain in good position to take advan-
tage of any let-down by Boston. Cleve-
land seems unable to make any adj
vance, while New York and Chicago
keep gaining, thus assuring a great
battle for the place at least between
these four and possibly Detroit. st.
Louis seems TO be out Of II for the
season so far as pennant honors are
concerned, while the Senators are now
doomed TO a tailend finish.

SPORTING NOTES.

Frank Ingersoll. recently returned
from Manila, in a talk with Seattle
correspondent, says: 1.-The national
game is getting along pretty well in
Manila. They have a six-club league
made up of teams from the marines,
army, army transports, land transpor-
tation, Custom House and the police.
One game is played every Saturday aft
ernoon and two seven-inning games
Sunday afternoon. Fhe park is located
in Manila and every game brings out
a big crowd. Gov. Taft is quite a ball
fan himself, and ig frequently present.
Generally speaking, the games are
pitchers battles. with the score well
down in the small figures. / think you
would be surprised at the quality of
ball they put UP in that far away land.
Many of the players are good enough
for the minor leagues"
DeWoif Hopper considers Hans
Wagner the greatest OF all ball players,
past or present.
II seems that pretty near every team
is able to beat Mathewson except Pitts
burg. The leaders have not got to him

more games than they lost Conversely
the Eastern teams did poorly on their
