Errors by the wholesale tells the

to the game and as a result the Okla
homa City lads won by a score of 5
to 4 and only one earned run of the
hve to their credit. 1t was the poor
est exhibition which the locals have
put up for some time. Even the
young reliable Olson who usually goes
several months without making a
bobble of any kind was caught in the
act twice yesterday. 1t should be a
record breaking day for Olson as it is
the first time since he has broken into
the Western association that he has
been known to- make IS many in one
game.
Without the errors yesterday To-

though they did not hit any harder

managed to bunch their hits with
more telling effect and as far as hit
ting goes they were entitled to the

Scoggins and Gin trotted across the
rubber.
The tail end of the local batting

After Runkel had been retired Raglan
singled over Bandy's head, Halla's
fielder's choice caught Raglan at sec
ond. But Bunton was equal to the
emergency and hit for double ,scor-

HARAHAN's EXPLANATION.
Denies That Statements About His
Row With Fish Are Facts.

Chicago. Aug. ,30.-President Harahan
of the Illinois Central arrived in Chi
cago yesterday afternoon and a few
hours later issued statement which
to a certain extent explains the con-
troversy between him and former Pres
ident Fish which occurred at a meet
ing of the directors of the road in New
York yesterday. Mr.. Harahan's state
ment follows:
ION my arrivalsin Chicago this after
noon from New York 1 find in the pa
pers articles telegraphed from New
York concerning an alleged occurrence
reported as having taken place at a
meeting of the board of directors held
yesterday. These published statements
do not state the facts. =
MY duty and honor will not allow
me to discuss matters or occurrences
considered or taking place IN the meet
ings of the board of directors, nor will
my dignity permit me to positively dis
cuss personal matters further than to
deny the report which undoubtedly
emanated from the same source as the
reports appearing in today's newspa-
pers and which have been frequently
published to the effect that the friend
ship which existed between Mr.. Fish
and myself was broken just prior to
my election as president of the Illinois
Central in November, 1906. The fact is
Mr.. Fish's' actions had severed that
friendship several years prior to that
time.
Reports have also been published to
the effect that during the long friend
ship of Mr.. Fish and myself frequent
promotions were given me through the
Influence of Mr.. Fish. AS a matter of
fact my connection with the Illinois
Central began with my election as sec
rectors in 1890 and I continued in. that
capacity until my election as president
by the board of directors in November,
1906"

Hector McInnis who was released
early in July by the local manage
ment after failing to make good and
who later failed to distinguish him
self as an umpire has been signed
by the Hutchinson management. If
he shows good form he may be given
a chance to work this season. other
wise Jay will hold him over in the
hopes that he Will round to in 1908.
Bill Rapps was never touted as
much of a hitter in this league. How
ever, he played the hero role in yes
terday's game by hitting in four of
the five runs of the Nets. He sent
the winning run across the plate in
the ninth inning on a drive to right
acid. Scogginsy was ZIP three times
and scored twolof the runs besides
hitting safely every time.
Connie Walsh Ply who pitched for
Hutchinson last spring was released
a few days ago by the Seattle team in
the Northwestern league. Connie has
pitched fair ball this season for the
Seattle team but he was injured in
a railroad wreck in idaho a few days
ago and never has been right since.
A letter from weoley. to Manager
Crow yesterday states that the star
left fielder of the Topeka team will
be ready to join the team as soon as
his brother who is quite low with
consumption, RECEIVERS sufficiently.
Sporting News: ]. S. Shuster of
the Texas league of 1907, was like
most successful officials, player. He
was for IL years a minor league sec
end baseman. In 1904 he had his
knee injured while playing with the
Johnstown club in the outlaw Tri-
State league and finished the season
as an umpire in the American asso-
citation. He was with the Western
league in 1905, Southern league. 1906,
and Texas league. 1907. Shuster is
as game an umpire as ever held the
indicator in the Texas league. An
umpire in his class is a credit to the
national game, and the league he
may represent. 1t is claimed that he
would make a success from the jump
IN major league.
The following rather hot one is
handed to McInnis. the former To-
