somebody en- bag home, all of the hitter's
mates on the bench would. Jump up grab
each other around the waist, and waltz for

they'd delay the game by tossing their caps

maybe there wasn't some enthusiasm
over the ripping plays On the part Of the
men and boys in the grass and the girls
IN the grand stand and the people in the
vehicles along the side lines! That crowd
OF about $780, all told-and I was told it
was bumper gathering-made as much
noise as any five or six thousand at a ma
Jor league game. and I'm dead sure they
had about ten times as much fun. One
play brought out more hysterical enthusiasm
than ever saw on a ball lot anywhere.
One of the batsmen poked an extremely

quick peek, reckoned-and reckoned right

and was settled in his position on the nas's

basenan had to stretch his gloved hand
away out near the horses head to get the
foul fly, but he squeezed it all right, and
then the bunch just broke into the lot ard

IN INTEREST IN RACE
ALL EYES CENTERED ON HAIR
WARD CREW IN ENGLAND.

PUTNEY, England, August 25.-It has
been many years since an aquatic struggle
has aroused so much interest and enthu-
siasm in this country as the forthcoming
misunderstanding race. The uncertainty
regarding the form of the American crew
has added zest to the encounter, but the
most conservative of the English critics ad-
NIT that there is military precision in the
Harvard boat which no English amateur
coach is likely to produce. When the Amer
leans first took the water at Bourneend no
one considered them to be probable winners
over Cambridge; but a few days has
wrought great change, and the Cam
bridge men, at first fairly sure Of victory
see that they Will be given hard race.
Despite the temporary loss of the serv-
ices of Richardson and Glass, the Ameriz
can crews soon settled down to work and
showed themselves to be worthy opponents
Of what admittedly is one of the finest row
ing teams ever turned out by an English
university. When the crews came to Put
ney the Englishment again rose in favor,
but no allowance was made for the fact
that Cambridge was thoroughly at home on
the tideway. while Harvard was in strange,
tricky water with mysterious currents,
knowledge of which was of the greatest
advantage. The Americans, nevertheless,
quickly improved. and the latest times
taken Of their trials make the issue of the
struggle most doubtful
The makeup of the Harvard crew still is
unsettled, and 1t remains to be seen wheth-
er the inclusion of G. Morgan will strength
en- the team to the extent that has been
expected.

McAULIFFE-CARNEY SCRAP.
Jim Corbett Has Views on the Sub
ject.

Ject.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 25.-In
commenting on the celebrated McAuliffe-
Carney battle, Jim Corbett-is quoted as
saying:
"McAuliffe was a sick man before the
battle began and offered Carney $500 to
postpone the battle for a week. but Patsy
Shepard. who was looking after the Eng
lishman's affairs would not listen to the
proposition, and the battle went on
Jack Dempsey was behind McAulfffe and
during the fight McAuliffes legs began to
swell. Dempsey saw what horrible condi-
ton McAuliffe was in and begged him to
stop. but the fight continued. Jack said
for their money. and he surely did Finally
McAuliffe's legs had swollen so that the
blood refused to circulate and Dempsey cut
his tights.
''Never after that battle was McAuliffe's
wonderful ability questioned"
McAuliffe was not sick man at ALL that
is. previous to the fight. although quite i'll
the ring that his supporters had barrel Of
money wagered on him to win. His legs
were not swollen, but his face was from
the rain of blows from Carney'S fists FL
nally, when McAuliffe had been so badly
whipped by the Briton that the American
could not come out OF his corner, Dempsey
cut the ring ropes and the affair broke up
in row. The referee, who was there to
see that McAuliffe and his hackers did
not lose. called it draw. The opponents
of fair play in England never did anything
more fagrantly unfair. Carney was q Won
derful fighter and had McAuliffe at his mer-
cy from the outset.

LABOR DAY GAMES
OUT At THE GROVE
The Wise Ones Look for a Shat
tered Record in Shot
Put.

With the entry of f. ]. Porter. formerly
of Cornell University. and the intercol-
legiate champion shot-putter of 1905, in the
discus throw and shot-put at the Labor
day games of the Washington Grove Ath-
letc Association there is strong prob
ability that new local records will be hung
up In both these events. When Porter won
the intercollegiate championship on Frank
lin field a year ago he heaved the sixteen
pound shot 10 feet 3 inches. He has been
doing light work this summer and-is now
almost up to his championship form. 1t
has been quite a while since record of
over forty feet has been scored in the
sixteen pound shot-put in this vicinity. and
Porter's work will be watched with keen
interest.
TIE Mount Washington Athletic Club of
Baltimore has accepted the challenge of the
Columbia Athletic Club of this city for a
one-mie relay race. The Orlole team Will
be composed of Core, Nicely, Randall and

HENNIE WILSON DOWN AND OUT.
Old-Time Trainer Turned Out Of
Home.

PITTSBURG. August 25.-Hennie Wilson,
the old-time trainer and sporting man. has
been dispossessed of his home and stock
farm near Cambridge Springs by United
States Marshal Stephen Stone.
Wilson was famous in his day and was
considered wealthy. He drove Baron
Wilkes. 2.1a, in the famous race with Kitty
Bayard, 2.12h. Every cent he had in the
world he put on Wilkes and even incum-
bered his property to raise some. Kitty
Bayard won by a nose. and Wilson never
recovered from the financial shock.
Recently he placed his property in a re-
ceiver's hands, and 1t was sold to satisfy
creditors. Wilson and his aged sister Eliz-
abeth refused to leave the old home 30

UMPIREs ARE LENIENT.
Otherwise Not a Man Would Last q

CHICAGO. August 25-If the umpires
were really strict not a player in the Ma
tional or American leagues would last
through the necessary nine innings.
Rule 81, for instance. of the base ball
code says that no player-not even the cap
tain or manager of a club-shall have the
right to question the decision of the UNI
pire on any play The umpire is authorized
to eject a player who even intfmates~that
a called strike was not over the plate.
This would clean out most clubs in the
first two innings. Imagine going through
the batting lists and not hearing a kick on
balls and strikes! Yet this law is laid
down before the umpire in black and white
He does not enforce it. because he slxnows
the players mean no harm. What does he
get In return? The very next play they
go at him worse than ever.
Another section OF the rules says that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-08-26

no player can leave his position to discuss
a decision with the umpire.
This rule is violated by practically every
ball player In America every day. Still.
the umpfres out Of lenfency do not enforce
it. A worse squabble follows the next
day. And so it goes.
Rule IS says, that no coacher shall adj
dress the pitcher of the opposing team to
try to incite the crowd to demonstration.
This is commonly known as rafting a
pitcher"
Rule IA. Sec. 4, says: 1.-The ball in play
shall not be Intentionally discolored by rub
bing 1t with the soil or otherwise dam
aged. Yet every time new ball is thrown
to the pitcher this rule Is broken. There
is some excuse for this. however as all
teams have practically agreed that it is
fair for pitchers to rub the ball in the
grass.
The rules further say that no player
shall leave the bench except when called
to bat, unless his team be in the field at
the time. This rule is violated hundreds
Of times daily.

1.-THE batters didn't seem to mind 1t at
