aspirants for the honor of entertain

tive contest to land.
Tom Johnson of Cleveland announc-
ed his opinion that the Ohio city is the
best location that could be Selecte d

talks, he has caused it to be made
known that he will come to Washing
ton with 100000, which will be turn
ed over to the national committee if
it consents to select Cleveland as the
convention city.
Denver went after the. republican
convention hot foot, but lost, and now
intends to make a try for the demo

ly will put up only a perfunctory
fight-this because Of the fact that

Washington. Dec. 10.-Under the call
of the controller of the currency for
reports Of national banks, showing
conditions at the close of business Dec
Is. reports are beginning to come to the

Indications are that many of the ir-
terror banks will be shown to have
accumulated abnormally large reserves
and to be holding tight to them and
this despite the criticism that has been
poured out on the New York banks for
undue accumulation of currency. In

Chicago, have also been accommodating
reserves larger than the law requires.

MONTREAL, Que, Aug. 20.-The
Skeeters closed their season in Mon
treal with a victory from the t~ailenders
yesterday. Woods's hit in the tenth,
after two were out, sent in the win
ming run. NORWOOD gave eleven
bases on balls, but only one of them
counted, and Keister's error was the
'Skeeters' only misplay.
Brockett. who pitched his first game
since he left h Highlanders, was hit
in every inning but two, but he was
usually effective in tight places. Twice
the Skeeters died with the bases filled.
McManus's error was chiefly response
BILE for two of their runs.
Jersey City made two in the fourth.
With one out Curtis was safe on a
bounder to Morgan. Hanford hit safely.
McManus's heave advanced each a base
and Merritt's hard drive, which Cor
coran failed to hold, scored both.
Two passes Needham's hit filed
the bases in the fifth, with one out.
Browns grounder was missed by Keis-
ter, who lost a double play, McManus
scoring. Needham then scored on Cor
coran's ~grounder, which forced Brown.
Shean grounded to Woods.
Hanford opened the tenth with a sim
gle and was sacrificed to second. heis-
ter filed to centre, but Woods hit to
right, scoring what proved to be the
winner.
The score.

TO RACE HERE I'M 'O8.

KEEL. Germany. Aug. 2o-The question
of German yachtsmen making a return
visit to the United States in 1908 hns for
several days been the subject of informal
discussion between Prince Henry of Prus-
STA and the German and American yachts
men. but is not likely to be settled for
some months. or until the American Wis
itors have gone home and are able to

ence which year the Germans prefer.
Prince Henry. besides obtaining the views
of the German yachtsmen. will talk the
matter over with Emperor William.
Some of the American yaehtsmen have
gone to Copenhagen and others are on
shorter excursions. They will reassemble
at Lubbock on Wednesday, for the first
of the eleven lunches and dinners arranged
in their honor.
The American steam yacht Utowanna has
arrived here with Allison V. Armour and
his brother. G. A. Armour and family on
board.
Otto Prolzen. whose handling of the
Sender class yacht Wanassee, won the
Emperor's cup. has received eon~gratulation
cable messages from American yachtsmen
whom he met at Marblehead in 1906, and
also a telegraphic invitation from the
Spanish Yacht Club of San Sebastian to
enter the Wannssee in the races, which

When the ever-popular Charley Hickman
reached Chicago recently, after the long
trip from the East, Hick was given a room
at the hotel adjoining that of Pitcher
Charley made a cali on NICK. While Ia
the room ,Altrock began hoWin Hickman
his collection of photographs, for Nick,
having his face taken, it being claimed by
baseball men that Nick has more pictures
OF himself than any four men In the pro-
fession today AS all the players know
take huge delight in kidding him whenever
the opportunity arises. So when Charley
went into Nick's room and had the pic
lures shown to him Hick lay low and
watched for an opening.
After showing Charley several of his
portraits taken in different cities Nick at
last came to a picture of himself snapped
while he was touring Yellowstone Park
last fall. In this picture Nick is hown
seated on a donkey, and when he passed
the card over TO Charley he~ said:
do you think that is a good picture
of me, Charley?"
Sure" said Hickman, its a splendid
one; looks exactly like you, but who is
that on your back?"

although he was subjected to much inno-

NATIONAL TENNIS
NO DOUBLES THIS YEAR IN
NEWPORT TOURNEY.

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. objectionable
Newport turned from yachting to lawn
tennis yesterday, scanning eagerly the
drawing for the t~wenty-seventh annual
championship tournament and debating
upon the prospective challenger of WILL
lam j. Clothier. the tall Philadelphia.
While the starred match for the opening
of the great meeting brings together
William A. Larned, ex-national champion,
and the Indoor champion, Theodore
Roosevelt Pell, the opinion of the experts
Is that the big field of lis contestants
will narrow dow to Beals c.. Wright and
Karl II. Behr. the two internationalists in
the ten days of play that is to come.
DIR. James Wright. referee of the tour
nament, made the selections of the veter-
ans and one of the. top flight Of the youn-
the first day. He also defaulted Beals
C.. Wright and Halcomb Ward as the ma
tIonal champions of the doubles IN favor
Of Harold II. Haggart and Frederick b..
triangular series of East, West and
South ON the court of the Crescent Ath-
letic Club. His actions established a new
ruling, which will hereafter make 1t i'm
titles to compete in any Of the sectional
championships which lead TO the final for
the pair honors.. AS a consequence no
doubles Will be played In this tournament.
and this Is the first time that such Il thing
has happened in the history of the game
In this country.
lhlfheu IS rated rs out OF form, ana as
he has the hardest side Of the draw with
Herbert L. Westfall. Wylie C. Grant,
George H. Nettletown. Irwin c. Wright
and Raymond ID. Little against him in
his selections. 1t is thought that the vet
eran will meet his Waterloo before reach
Ing the finals. In the lower half Wright
and Behr appear likely to meet each other
for the semi-final. Wright has an easy
way until he meets his partner Of the In
ternational, while Behr's strongest adver-
saries are ]. o. Ames and Nathaniel W.
Niles, and Robert Leroy, the Columbia
intercollege champion.
The collegiate side of the tournament
is more prominent than usual this year,
as fully half of the competitors represent
universities and colleges. TIL majority
OF them reported for practise yesterday,
and appeared TO be III to their best game.
In many respects the prize list Is more
lavish than in former years. a silver bowl
similar to the Davis international trophy
being the all-comers' prize. Should the
challenger be successful in defeating
Clothler, as seems likely, he will also hold
the gold cup which bears the names of
Hugh Lawrence Doherty, 1903; Halcomb
Ward, 1904; Beals C. Wright, 1905, and
William ]. Clothier, 1906.

COLTS GET
SHORTSTOP

New York Infielder Expected
to Accompany Team to
Montreal.

Shortstop Jack Hannifan has been pur-
chased by Newark from the New York
National League Club, and, unless the
player balks at the deal, he will accompany
the Colts or their trip to Montreal onigh
Manager Burnham wired an offer TO Nc
Graw at the time the Giants were playing
in st. Lopis. 1t was not until yesterday.
when he met the New York manager per-
sonally, that a reply was received. Nc
Graw declared that he had just received
waivers on Hannifan. and If still
desired to put the deal through the player
could be had for the price agreed upon.
Manager Burnham has not seen Hannifan
since his offer was accepted by the New
York Club, but McGraw gave his assurance
that the shortstop would join the Colts
when they leave the New York Central
station in New York for Montreal at 6:55
today.
At am not at all dissatisfied with Nah
ling's work at short, - declared the local
manager in commenting on the deal, "but
! considered the purchasing of Hannifan
a good move, as we are now without the
services of an extra infielder. Mcdonald
still being on the injured list. If Hannifan
joins the club he will probably be played
at short tomorrow in the Montreal SERIES"
Burnham will not accompany the New
ark team to the Canadian city. Captain
Sharpe will be In charge of the club during
the trip, and meanwhile the Newark man
has several players to look over and may
purchase one or two, hoping to strengthen
the team so that it will not finish lower
than third in the championship race.
Pitcher Lew Wiltse will go as a member
of the team to Montreal.
The deal fo- Pitcher Willette, whom New
ark tried to purchase from Detroit, has
been declared off, as the Chicago Ameri-
can League club refused to waive claim
to the player.
Catcher Billy Ross. formerly with New
ark. and Second Baseman Gastmeyer have
jumped the Hartford club and are. now
playing with Elizabeth in the Atlantic
League.
Pitcher Popman has deserted the Read
ing Atlantic League club to join the
Toronto Eastern Lesguers.
The New York Americans have pur-
chased Pitcher Del Mason from Cincinnati
and Shortstop Ball from Montgomery.
Jersey City stepped into fifth place by
taking another game from Montreal yes
terday. Providence lost at Toronto, there
by falling to tie Newark.
Pitcher Al Orth let the st. Louis Ameri-
cans down with two hits yesterday, but
New York was beaten. l to 0.
The Giants beat out Chicago in the ninth
inning yesterday. Pitcher Lundgren
issued three bases on balls in the ninth.
Doyle's single drove two runs over the
pan, clinching the game.
Buffalo has signed a third baseman by
the name of Groh The newcomer yester-
day made a home run with two men ON
bases.

Latham, the KIdder.
The third time that the st. Louis team
took the worlds championship Arlie
Latham was a member of that scrappy or
ganization. and in those days Latham was
one of the clevercst third basemen that cut
up around that corner. AS a base pur-
loiner he had no equal, and, In fact, he
was one Of the most valuable men in the
baseball business in his time. AS a humor-
list you do not find anything approaching
him in the major league today. All that
line ofNstuff ladled out at the present time
by Hughey Jennings is copied bodily from
Arlie Latham.
Latham was the bane Of poor old Chris
Won der Ahe's life. although no player
that ever worked for the eccentric but
good-hearted Dutchman stood so well with
Chris as did Latham.
Arlie was forever playing jokes on Chris.
and Chris was continually filming the witty
player, and then renting the fines the
following day, when Latham would make
one of his phenomenal plays.
The third year that st. Louis took the
championship they mad to fight for it, and
Comiskey, the captain, and Won der Abe,
the owner, were continually impressing 1t
on the players TO keep themselves in con
dillon, and above all to keep from getting
injured.
This was the greatest fear which beset
Won der Abe when his team was In the
chase after the p~ennant for the third time,
and great was the scare thrown into the
eXcitable Dutehman when Arlie Latham
came limping to him one morning and told
him between groans that he had just fallen
off a sixty-foot ladder.

began to paw the air. "a doctor, quick;

Chris danced all around the room until
the doctor arrived. and when the learned
sawbones came into the clubhouse the eX-
cited manager screamed:

tumbled off a sixty-foot ladder"
