SCHRECK AND RUDE
ARE ON THE OUTS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. August 2O.-There
seems to be some ill-feeling between those
old pals. RUDE Waddell and Ossie Schreck-
engost. 1t looked very bad. in the eighth
inning Of last Thursdays first game, to
see Schreck loaf along after Rube's bad
throw to the plate, while Larry scored and
Congalton raced to third.
After Connie Mack had yanked Ossie
out Of the game, the catcher explained
that he had forgotten there was anybody
running the bases except Larry. and as
he deemed 1t impossible to get him he saw
no use in chasing the ball. Mack professed
to accept the explanation and the apologies
offered by Schreck. but he didn't send Ossie
In to catch the second game.
As a matter of fact. Schreck's explana-
ton of his action doesn't sound right He
has a pretty good head on his shoulders.
and it is scarcely to be believed that he
would forget Congalton was going around
the bags when it was Congalton's rap
which sent Larry on his way to the plate.
Schrecks face was black as a thunder
cloud when he stood and watched Rube's
poor throw roll along the ground. and he
certainly seemed to be in the sulks.
Schreck did not pull Off their usual exhi-
bition of fancy pitching and catching be-
fore the game. and that RUDE displayed
none Of his antics during the afternoon.
Rube has left Schrecks home. where he
has long been the star boarder," and 1t
looks as II some serious difference had
arisen between the two.

Stanley given a chance to rest up. Joe

Charley Hickman may be bit off color

that his single drove in all Of the Nationals

There Ia no love lost between the two
Sox out Of 1t last season and may take

Don't lose sight Of the fact that Faiken-

much about the reading notices. His fell

and used to kid him numerically about

citedly and exclaimed: What do you think.

Analostan's Big Shell a Wreck.

Adelaide rock. or DEVILS Nose, as it is
often called. was the means Of practically
running the eight-oared shell Of the Ana
lostan Boat Club yesterday morning.
While on q practice race the junior crew
of the club ran the boat at a high speed
onto this jagged projection OF rock, which
is about one hundred yards west Of the
Three Sisters.and the shell was completely
shattered from the bow to No. seat. So
bad was the wreck that it was expected
the shell would sink at once, but when the
found possible to tow 1t. 1t was taken back
to the boat house at the foot Of New
Hampshire avenue.
The boat may be repaired, but can only
be used for practice purposes. News Of
the accident no sooner reached the Potos
mac Boat Club, the rival of the Analos-
tan, than the Potomac offered to lend the
unfortunate Analostan boys Its eight
other can be borrowed for the races on
Labor day.
The rock upon which the shell was
wrecked has been considered one Of the
most dangerous on the river for years.
Riyermen say 1t received the name Ade-
laide when the Potomac rowing barge AIDE
iaide was wrecked on it twenty-five years
It is understood that arrangements are
being made by the Potomac River Regatta
Association to have the rock blasted this
