How connoIly's Report Read.

When Tommy Connolly, the umpire,
was officiating over in Baltimore during
the time that McGraw and his crowd
were running things in the Monumental
city he was one day beset by the entire
Baltimore outfit who intended to do him
injury. backed as they were by the APP
proving yelps of the spectators
1t was during a game between the Bal
timores and the DetroitS. and only the
quick work of the police reserves saved
the nervy Connolly from serious injuries.
There was another nervy man who faced
the angry mob that day in order to stand
by the umpire. and this was no other
than the scrappy little Elberfeld. whom
the writer saw hurl himself time and
time again against the Baltimore players,
and each time he would be thrown back
by big Dan Mccain. But the Kid was
true grit. for with his black eyes flash
ing fire he would leap into the thickest
Of the fight, where he ran a good chance
each moment of being put out of bust
ness for life ElbeTfeld was at the time
a member of the Detroit club.
After hard fight the police succeeded
in getting Connolly away from the mob,
and when Tommy made personal report
OF the affair to Ban Johnson he finished
his complaint with the following sentence;
And their voices were extremely high,
while their language was unusually low
As a curious coincidence the fact might
be recorded that Elberfeld was the first
man to be put out of the game in the
American League this season and Tommy
Connolly was the umpire to turn the
rip

GOOD OPINION OF MITCHELL

New York, June 15.-John L. Sullivan

What Sam Crawford Thought.

Big Sam Crawford of the DetToits can
surely hit the leather when he leans up
against one that ooks good to him. Aside
from Sans well-known prowess in base
ball he also enjoys the reputation of be-
ing one of the games humorists.
While on the cars Sans society is much
sought by the other boys. as the big fell
low is always in a merry mood and the
funny things he gets off are always good
for laugh.
Up in Detroit the manual labor is large
" done by Swedes. Particularly is this
true in the case of breweries, whose EN-
ployes are almost made up entirely of
huskies from the far land Of Sweden.
These light-haired lads, with the thirsty
blood of the Vikings in their veins, can
do a lot of things to a barrel of beer
when ii comes to the job of emptying it.
1t Is said upon reliable authority that the
breweries allow them a hundred glasses
of beer a day to drink.
4 Detroit paper happened to publish this
fact one day not long since and Bill
Coughlin was reading the fact aloud in
the club house when Sem Crawford. who
had just come in the door. asked Bill what
he was reading.
Why" said Bill this paper declares
that the breWeries in this city allow their
employees to drink one hundred glasses of
beer a day"
IF that's fact" said Sam, as he pro-
ceedeG to do the oisrobing stunt 81 should
think the breweries would have their
hands full all the time

What Aitizer Speaks.

Davy AltiZer. Washington crack short
stop, was for several years one of Uncle
Sans boys in blue. Davy was in the vol
unteer service, and besides ducking the
bullets sent in his direction by the I'M
washed FilipinOs, he also ran the Chnk
gauntlet, when he and Admiral Seymour
and a few other heroes marched to the
siege of Tientsin.
Davy was later with the American
army when il went on to Picking and dis
turbed the pipe artists. Now. all this
experience in the far east causes Alti
ger to become a reliable authority on
things over the sea. and his opinion on
matters concerning the happenings in the
orient are respectfully heard by his fell
low players.
The other day out at the club house the
boys got to discussing the probability of
Japan and America coming to blows over
our Philippine possessions, and the posi-
bility of China helping the Japs. in case
such war should come off. This led to
some talk concerning China. and Charley
Jones asked Altizer If he could speak
Chinese.
oh, I talk at it," replied Dave but
it's a sort OF pigeon Chinese, l suppose,
that passes from me"
All I see" said Charley Hickman. az
he began buckling up his belt. you
speak a kind of broken china, eh?''
