where Hickman boarded.

Baseball players have many varied ex-
periences in boarding-houses. Get some
old player to talk on this subject and one
may be sure that he will hear some mighty
interesting "reminiscences
One day last spring Charley Hickman
and a crowd of the Washington boys were
swapping tales as to their experience In
boarding-houses.
Several of the boys told about how they
had been treated in various cities where
they had played ball, when Charley Hick-
man, shifting his wad of gum to the other
side of his cheek, took a hitch In his
trousers and said:
"You fellows talk about having been up
against chinchy propositions in the board
%ing-house line. Why, l bet you wouldn't
know a real chinch thing in the boarding.

'Maybe you'd be wise to 1t, Happy"
cried Case Patten, with a grin.
"And why shouldn't II" snorted Hick
why I boarded in a house one time In
New York where the woman who ran
the joint was so mean that she wouldn't
even buy a bell to ring at mealtime."
"Wall, how would you know when to

Shipke.

Joe stanIey,s Experience.

When Joe Stanley was first signed by
the Washington Club and was one of the
players to take the Western trip he was
slated to bunk with Huelsman, for ball
players are always paired when travelling,
as this saves expense.
Everything went all right until the
Washington a took the boat at Cleve-
land, on it's way to Detroit. Then the
trouble began, for the majority of the
boys got sick that night, as it was a ter
ribly rough time on the lake, and when 1t
gets rough on Lake Erie it has old ocean

Joe Stanley, like the rest, was sick, ana
Joe, also like the rest, wanted to know
how soon it would be before land was
reached.
He acquainted big Huelsman will his
burning desire, and the husky Swede told
Joe to ask the captain.
Joe set out to find the captain, but he
ran across the mate, and of this worthy
he inquired: \.
How far, brother, is it to the nearest
land?"
BY this time the boat was about in the
middle of the lake, and the mate, looking
at the ball player, replied:
About three miles"
"And which way?' cried Joe, as he be-
gan to perk up a bit at the Intelligence.

TO
SUCCEED
M'GRAW
Report That New York Ma
tionaIS Will Have New
Leader Next Season.

The latest from New York Is Roger
Bresnahan succeeding Johnny McGraw as
manage of the Giants. McGraw's con-
tract does not expire until 1903, but that
makes no difference. Brush is said TO be
tired Of "Muggsy," who would not give up
following the ponies"
Whenever McGraw has been asked why
the Giants made such a poor showing he
has always said that the umpires would
not let him get out on the coaching lines
and instruct and pump ginger" into his
players. This really Is a weak excuse, for
McGraw could have stayed on the coach
ing lines as long as he wanted 90 II he
would only restrict himself, but Mac
usually got into a row with the umpires
and was ordered off the grounds.
The utter failure of the Giant last sea-
son to make anything like a good showing.
though they began the season with the
most brilliant prospects, is supposed TO
have wiped out the last of President
Brush's patience. McGraw had under his
command a wonderful array Of ball plny-
ers last season. all the material necessary
for a great team.
After the first beating at the hands OF
the Cubs the team apparently became a bit
discouraged and in strong need of a
pOWtilu tOhiiIs NuG1AoN Voc % otN
visitor at the race track all season.
The play of the Giants became listless
and their work fell away to almost moth
ing. There were frequent rumors OF IN
ternal disturbances, of quarrels between
players and of McGraw's q%uarrels with
several OF his men during the Giants long
stay at home in the midsummer cam
palgr. McGraw was often seen at the
track during the summer meetings.
Season before last the Yanke hurt the
prestige Of the National League club by
their splendid work, even though the
Giants were at that time worlds cham
pions. Last year, with the Yankees
weakened and disorganlzed with a new
crop of untried players, President Brush
saw an excellent chance to win back much
of the lost favor of the New York base
ball public.
A successful team in New York Is almost
vital to the life of the National League,
and here was a chance to put the Giants
back on the old popular footing Of the sea-
son that saw them worlds champions,
The chance was missed. The Giants failed
utterly to do anything that was expected
finishing fourth In the race, almost as far
down as the torn-up Yankees.

BOSTON, Nov. 12.-Ten of the eleven
teams which started at l o'clock yester-
day in the six-day bike race at the Park
Square Garden, had completed 1893 miles,
8 laps. at l, o'clock last night when the
racing for the day closed. The other team
which included Bizarri, of Florence, and
Sallani, of Rome, as originally made up,
was one lap behind at that hour. The
Italian pair found much difficulty with
the track from the first. and had several
spills during the afternoon, so that at z
o'clock they were a lap behind the bunch.

Two More Interclass Contests on New

Interclass basketball games were en-

yesterday afternoon by the Newark High

weather was rather cold and windy, but
this did not lower the spirits of the girls,
The Senior A team defeated the Junior A

so far this season., the score being II to II.
The Senior BIS, handicapped by the alb

1T the hands of the Junior BIS, 7 to 4.
The Senior and Junior AS played each
other to a standstill in the first half. each

FIREMAN, Nov. 12.-It did not dequire
bowling of any sensational nature for
Newark's crack National Interstate
League quintet to gather in three games
from Trenton last night. Newark, however,
rolled in a style that would have required
fine pinning to beat, and Trenton did not
have a chance for victory in any one Of
the three games. Newark began with $50
to Trenton's 902, but slumped in the sec

HIGHER STAKES FOR 1908.
Values of sheepshead Bay and Graves

A general increase in the values of the
important stakes for next season has been
decided on by the managers of both the
Coney Island and Brooklyn Jockey Clubs,

stakes that will close early in January Of

many of the better-known events already
have been fixed by the club officers. In

stated yesterday that both the Brooklyn
Handicap at the Gravesend track and the
Suburban Handicap at the Sheepshead
Bay track next season Will be races of
$4,000 guaranteed value against the $4,000
value that they have been for n number
Of years.
For the S~heepshead Bay rack the values
Of seventeen stakes will be Increased, the
increase being such as to double the worth
of many of these events, while the least
addition to the worth OF the prizes is to
offer added money equivalent to the full
guaranteed value of other prizes. With
the lead set by the two Oldest racing clubs
Of the East, proportionate increases in
the value of the stakes Of the other clubs
are expected. and the e Is every promise

Jack appeared to be enthusiastic. and
from the way he talked anyone could see
that he was more than ordinarily interest

many loudly touted young twirlers. and
had been stung to the limit also, he didn't

One day this bunch was foregathering in
the clubhouse. discussing the needs of the
inner man, when who should come In but
a Baltimore sport who is noted for his
windy ways and the unreliable brand of
dope he ladies out.
This chap, according to his tale, has all
the booklnakers up a tree, owing to the
heartless manner in which he trims their
rolls. He simply has these rather astute
gentlemen beaten badly at their game, and
his winnings are not small ones, either.
Oh, dear no. This young Wlsenheimer
takes the pencil scratchers' kaie in hefty
bunches-that is. If you listen to Alexander
and he wouldn't lie-at least, he declares
he wouldn't do anything in the world.
AS he was acquainted with several mem

over and wanted to buy, but the fellows
didn't happen to care for anything, so Mr..
