MANAGER CANTILLON
STILL VERY FOXY
From the Minneapolis Journal.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
I've seen a lot Of tricks worked on the
ball field in my time." said Billy Fox, the
captain Of the Minneapolis team, this morn
Ing. but Joe Cantillon pulled one OF on us
shows what a foxy leader he Is.
You know we have a pretty fast club
and the boys know how to run bases Joe
also realized this and pulled of a number
OF things to keep US from stealing. He was
not very successful until our last trip 20
Milwaukee.
Every afternoon Just before the game
Joe had his groundkeeper water the inf1eld
He sprinkled 1t SO as to keep down the dust,
and as this was perfectly natural no one
thought anything about it. But we noticed
that first base was the last place touched,
and when the groundkeeper reached this
section OF the lot Cantillon himself would
man.
Sir Joe would then stand ON the bag and
play the water on the base line until the
mud was a couple Of inches deep. After
everything in that neighborhopd was thor
oughly soaked he would call things off and
the game would proceed
We'll, we soon saw the method in his
madness. for the base line was muddy and
SO slippery that you could not get foot
hold, and of course stealing bases was out
of the question. We just simply had to
hang around first and we did not steal Sec
ond during the series.
''Of course, the Brewers did not steal any
thing in this line. either. but they are
VIGOROUSLY weak in pilfering. 1t did not
hurt them any and made all the difference
in the world to us.
"Then tell me Cantillon isn't fox"

BIG TENNIS MATCHES
TO BE PLAYED SOON.

Lawn tennis players will make their first
move toward the national championship
tournament this week when they meet on
the courts of the Longwood Cricket Club,
Boston, the chief event being the eastern
championship doubles. The tournament
started today. and the winners of the dou-
bles will play on the Casino courts, New
port. two weeks later against the western
doubles champions, Kreigh Collins and
Louis III. Waidner, in the great opening
match of the tournament for the right to
challenge Holcombe Ward and Beals c.
Wright, the national title holders for the
twin trophies.
The singles this year will attract more
than the usual attention. because several
top ranking men are showing excellency of
form, which may result in a new cham
pion being returned when the All-Comers
meeting is finished at Newport
Wright at present appears to surpass oil
of the American players In his work, while
Robert LIE Roy, the Columbia University
captain and intercollegiate champion. Is
but shade below him. Frederick b. Alex
ander of Princetonian and Clarence Hobart
of international fame are only "a tribe be-
low Wright in their playing. All of these
men are to compete In the Longwood SIN
giles.

Church League Notes.

Gunton, the first team of the big four
to finish it's games. is loud in its praise of
Langley, who has won eleven out of the
twelve games played since he took the
helm.
Tomorrow will be the last big game in
the regular schedule-between Mount Pleas
ant Congregational and Fourth-and a rec
ord-breaking crowd is expected.
The second collection taken on Wednes-
day resulted in an increase in the league
treasury to the amount of $50 exclusive
Of the gate receipts, which were something
over $40.
Mr. Provost, the leagues president and
most loyal supporter, is out Of town on
business.
The grounds at Mount Pleasant have GER
tainly been kept in excellent condition this
year, and Jerry" their keeper deserves
great credit.
There Is only one more game in section
3D." that being next Wednesday between
Metropolitan Baptist and Fifth Baptist.
Douglas and Metropolitan Baptist will
play a series Of five games in the Coliseum,
the proceeds to be divided among the
boys. The dates for the games will be
announced In The Star later.
Mr.. West will be back In town Monday
and every one in Mount Pleasant is with
him and his team
In the report Of Wednesdays game it was
said that the floral horseshoe presented to
Harry Lord was present from his bureau
friends. That is a mistake as it was
bought. by collection taken among his adj
mirers at Calvary M. E. Church.
Bielaski's home run, which scored Fourth 8
first tally in Wednesdays game, would
have been an easy putout for Taylor had
he not fallen over a bicycle in center field.
Calvary deserves credit, for, with the ex-
ception of two or three new men, they
took last years trailers and made a leader
Of the team.
McKenneys catch In the eighth certainly
deserved praise. and Capt. King ran out
and Rugged his team mate, to the joy of
all the Fourth rooters.
It Is now certain that Gunton will either
play Fourth or Mount Pleasant Congrega-
tional. with the latter team at the big end
OF the betting.
Kerr muffed the first ay that came his
way Wednesday. but. then. he was using
Bishops glove-a good excuse.
.Carl" Hutchinson Is In splendid form.
and great game can be looked for when
the play-off of the tie for first place comes.

TRI-STATE LEAGUE

tri-state base ball team has disbanded, and
the town will have to be satisfied with am

Startled the fans today. who can hardly
realize 1t, as Saturday evening thousands
crowded the ball park at the most success
ful fair ever held in the town. and 1t Is
known large amount Of money was
raised.
The reason for disarmament given out is
the unfair treatment Gainesville has re-
ceived in other towns on the circuit. esne

GREAT REPUBLIC STAKES
NEXT BIG RACE

There seems every probability now that
the running Of the $4,000 Great Republic
stakes next Saturday at Saratoga will
bring together James Bradys Oiseau and
James r. Keenes Sysonby on a weight
scheme that should prove the most inter-
esting contest of the year. The distance
of the stake Is mile and quarter, and
Sysonby, with 100 pounds, will have to
concede Oiseau thirteen pounds.
The general racing public believes so
thoroughly in the flying son of Melton that
1t will wager it's boots that he can defeat
Oiseau any other horse living, doing
anything, and give him any kind of weight
Horsemen. however. as much as they ad-
nire Mr.. Keenes colt, are inclined to take
more critical view of the race, and many
OF them frankly express doubts to
whether Sysonby can concede this weight
to Oiseau and beat him.
Matt Allen. the trainer of the last named.
has the colt in superb condition. and If
he can keep him on edge until September
there Is no doubt that many will pick him
in preference to Sysonby.
On his race in the Travers, Dandelion,
with 116 pounds. is likely to prove a factor,
although few will concede that he can whip
either of the two stars of the three-year-
old colt division.
Sysonby will share top weight with Cap
tain s. s. Browns Broomstick and his sta
BILE companion. Delhi. So far as can be
anticipated now. the field for the Great Re-
public will be made I'D of the following:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-08-07

IT any OF the top weights can win with
the impost they will prove an exception to
the rule which has prevailed since the
youngsters started to race this year.
The cross-country division Is so reduced
that it is extremely difficult to say what
the field for the Shillelah will be- but it
seems doubtful now If any of the earlier
champions will go to the post.
Some of the other important stakes to
be decided in the course of the week are
the Huron Handicap. at mile and three
sixteenths, on Thursday: the Grand Union
Hotel stakes, for two-year-olds. at six fur
longs, on Wednesday. and the Delaware
handicap, at a mile, tomorrow.
