CLEAN BREAKS At PHIlLY
No More of Rough and Ready Mill
ing Allowed in Quaker
town,

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE municipal
authorities here have sounded a warn
ing to the boxers, particularly from
New York City, against what they
style rough-and-tumble fighting, now
that the really busy season is about to
OPEN They take the stand that for a
fighter to pummel another when the
latter is not in a position to defend
himself is not a square deal and is
conducive to a free fight. and there
fore the Philadelphia boxing clubs will
strictly enforce the rule of a clean
break this winter. The first fight in
which this rule was strictly observed
was the Murphy-Hyland bout. The au-
thorities add that all fighters who do
not care to observe the rule need not
look for matches in QUakertown.

MORNING STARS FAST MILE
PAGES Mile to Wagon in 2:04l1a at
Glenville Without Pace
Maker.

Cleveland. Sept. IA worlds record
to wagon was established on the Chenille
track last week when Morning Star, the
famous pacing gelding, was driven mile
in 2:041z, unpaced, and without the aid of
a wind shield.
Eddie S. Burke. jr.. owner of the run
ming horse w. II. Daniel, drove his great
PAGER in establishing the mark. which
becomes a record because of the fact
that the gelding was all alone in the
grand mile. Not another horse was on
the track while the fast mile was be-
ing negotiated
The first quarter was covered in 31s4
seconds, the second quarter was passed
in 1882, the third in 1:34&4, and the mile
was done in 2:041z. Mr.. Burke drove the
mile to satisfy the crowd at the Gen
tlemen's Driving clubs regular Saturday
matinee, disappointed when the lameness
of Hal c. prevented the race between
that horse and Morning Star Later in
the afternoon Morning Star repeated the
mile in 2:05 flat. the last quarter in 30sl
seconds, while still later Doc" Tanner
brought him out and drove him a mile
in 2:10, the last quarter in 2934 seconds

CHANCE FOR GAME

So far as the writer has been able to
observe after considerable opportunity.
both in Logan canyon and in the rivers
below town, a fishing license is a super
fluffy; and judged from appearances a
person might fish continuously during the
season and still save his good "cast-iron
dollar" The number of fishermen, both
great and small. seems rather to have in
creased than decreased, and without doubt
many of them have no license. Many
chickens are being shot also. and we doubt
whether a single gunner has been asked
to produce his license for the sport. The
duck season will soon be open and there
is no reason to believe that the sport of
any will be interfered with on the license
account The object of the license law
was a good one; one with which the
sportsmen were in full accord; but they
think it should be enforced fully and the
money be spent in restocking the streams
and protecting both the fish and game.

CY YOUNG WILL QUIT
Boston's Grand Old Timer Says Mod
ern Game Is Too Fast
for Him.

New York, Sept. 14.-'Baseball is
getting too fast for old timers, so I fig
ure that this is my last season on the
diamond"
The above remark by Old Cy Young
of the Boston Americans may bring
about the retirement from baseball OF
one of the greatest pitchers the nation
al pastime has ever known, and if
Young sticks to his determination his
loss will be felt by fans all over the
country.
Young has been pitching ball for
seventeen years without a break, and
is even now considered one of the best
pitchers in the country. He has a rec
ord that no other big league pitcher
has ever reached, and that is a shut
out, hitless game. in which none of his
opponents reached first base during
the game. And this was in Boston only
three years ago.

UMPIRES HAVE
PECULIAR WAYS
Each Arbitrator in the Ameri-
can Leagues Has Queer
ManneriSmS of His Own.

Jack Sheridan, the veteran of the
American League umpires, is in a class
by himself He uses neither indicator
nor chest protector, yet he never stops
a ball with his manly bosom and never
loses count of the number of balls and
strikes.
There is a lot of things about
ball game that the casual observer
seldom notes. The conduct of the UNI
pire is one of them. The arbitrator
are considered a part of the baseball
machinery, until they displease the
populace. and then they are anything
from a horsethief up.
Every man working as a judge of
play in the American League has some
marked popularity. The method of
calling balls and strikes is quite diff
ferent.
Jack Sheridan yowls "str-r-rk" in a
bulldog tone, lifting his right hand to
indicate that a ball was over the
plate. What he says for bali has
never been interpreted. nobody else
speaking Jacks language. His term
for bali is an unintelligible growl,
yet it is so different from the strike
that the fans have no trouble knowing
his decision. Sheridan crouches behind
the catcher as the pitcher delivers the
ball.
Only One Silk o'LoughIin.
Silk O'Loughlin, the near alderman,
is also in a class by himself. silk"
yells 'stri-i-ik' with particular en-
phasis on the 81" and draws his right
hand back over his shoulder and
points his thumb at the grand stand.
When he calls a ball he makes no
movement with his hands. Silk calls
two tub" which never fails to raise
a laugh.
'Tubby' Tim Hurst appears on the
ball lot In his street clothes, the only
change being a shift from the regu1a-
ton hat to a small blue cap, which
Tim facetiously calls his uniform"
Tim says ball and strike all right in
United States, but in faint and far
away voice. Owing to his lack of
height Tim is a scream when he runs
Tommy Connolly works with greater
ease than any of them. Connolly stands
behind the plate makes no superfuous
motions and shouts his decisions I'm a
clear voice.
Billy Evans depends solely upon hts
vocal powers for making himself un-
derstood Being q person of some
width, Bill has a fierce aspect when
decorated with a mask and chest pro-
tector. He yells strike" and gives
the number as though talking to some
body in Bedford. If anybody can't
hear Bill he's a candidate for an ear
specialist. Evans is the most nimble
man umpiring and can beat half the
ball players in the league to first base.
Stafford, the newest recruit among
the umpires. stands behind the plate
announces his decisions in a rather
moderate voice and has no peculiarf-
ties.

Another example Of effectiveness and
non-effectiveness against team is
furnished by Patten and Hughes
against the New YOrks. One who knew
both pitchers and their styles. and also
the Highlanders, did not know the rec
Ords Of the two, would pick Hughes in
fallibly as the most effective pitcher
against Griffith's club. The latter is
a sharp batting club with a good deal
of headWork in both batting and base
running. Hughes is a clever fielding
pitcher, and one who uses good head
work with his twirling. Therefore, he
should be just the one to win from the
HighIanders.

WHEN OLLIE PICKERING
PASSED THROUGH UTAH

Ollie Pickering of the st. Louis club had
a strenuous time when he first attempted
to get into baseball where they would pay
a man for playing.
Pickering broke in under Manager Nc
Closkey of the Houston. Tex, team, but
to get to Texas Pick had to beat his way
on the cars for the distance of nearly 1S00
miles
The clever outfielder likes to tell about
the many experiences he had while en-
gagged in the stupendOus task of covering
/ 500 miles on the strength of his nerve.
One of these experiences he was telling
about when last in Washington. Pick
says while travelling through the state of
Utah an OffiCiOus brakeman made himself
very disagreeable, and couldn't be made
to see why the road should carry the ball
player free, so when Pick found the Of
fetal in this frame OF mind he became in
suited and refused to ride any further on
that particular train.
So. after alighting he looked about for
a place to sleep, and soon espled farm
house Going to the door, he knocked,
and when MISUNDERSTANDING woman an
swered his summons he said to her;
as your husband about the place,
YES replied the woman. cycling Pick
with a sour expression on her features.

how. that 1 viii not have any trouble IN

also to furnish me with a substantial
breakfast in the morning.
Pickering reached Houston a day before
the opening game was played, and IN that
game made seven hits in seven times up.
Each of these hits was just back of the
third base or Just out Of reach of the first

SOME SPORT STATISTICS.
Chicago Record-Herald)

An enthusiastic worker has figured
out that the fine imposed on the Stan
dard OIL If paid in silver dollars,
would equal thirty-twO sacks of plunks
each as high as Pixies Peak, or a dou-
bic row of simOleOns reaching from
Chicago to Cleveland and back. Our
own mathematician has done a little
figuring himself, with the following
results:
Mike Donlin has played about ten
years in professional baseball, with an
average of 125 games per annum and
a moderate estimate of five kicks to
the umpire in each game. Actual force
expended would be more than $4,000
Mauds could expend in a period of ten
years, or than 5000 Eckersalls would
require to score 1927 goals against
Michigan.
Billy Nolan spent ten months, with
an average of ten hours each day, ex-
planning why Battling Nelson was bet
ter than Joe Cans. Hot air expended
would cause the Michigan City and
Mackinac cruisers to have their speed
records divided by 500 to play the
wind instruments at the White City
for ga, 423 nights or to sell three auto
mobiles.
In the last 500 races run on eastern
tracks about "a sper cent have been
won by favorites. Actual energy ex-
pended by the leading Jockeys in stop

furnish sufficient force to oppose %, 900

Jacobson never amounted 10 any

little terror for other clubs. which were

Carrying the matter a step further
neither managers nor pitchers can tell
you just why certain teams are easy
for certain pitchers. One of the most
striking examples of pitching effective
ness against a single team is FURNISHED
by Jacobson, formerly with the No
tiOnals and now with Boston.

ALL TWIRLERS

Best of Them Cannot ForeteII
Form or What Kind of
Game They viii Pitch.

One of the most puZzIing points
about baseball is the uncertainty Of
pitching and pitchers.
Not a manager sends a pitcher onto
the slab without misgivings as TO Ejs
work. and the pitchers themselves can
not predict with any certainty as 10
whether it is going to be an off dav
for them, or whether they will twiri
in record breaking form.
Furthermore, even after a good start
is made there is no certainty that this
means a good finish, and in not
small percentage of cases the twirler
himself has little, if any, warning that
the explosion is coming. The OppOsing
team for some reason or other starts
TO hit the ball, and they keep on doine
it. despite the fact that the pitcher
