 Manager Dan O'Neil has about de- cided to recall the option which he gave to the Boston National league club on the services of Tom Stank- ard. The option was to expire Au- gust IS. and, as the drafting season begins a few days later, the Spring field manager fears the Boston crowd will try to get the big slugger for the draft price.
 A southern journal picks about all the flowers in the garden of rhetoric while tearing off an exhaustive de- scription of base ball manager. Listen: "Matty Matthews, he. the unshaven. unshorn. loose belted. un- gartered. slack kneed, loblollied, slave driving, whip cracking demon manager.
 The Holyoke players doped it out yesterday that they were going to cop the league pennant, and ex- pressed no fear of any of the other clubs that are close up. Manager Dowd has it all figured out just how game can be dropped now and then and the lead still safely retained.
 Herman Schaefer, the Detroit sec- ond baseman. says that any old joke will get a round of applause this year from the Tigers. As long as you can keep winning everything is heayen-like. It's when you're getting bumped that you feel like giving up base ball. for it's dogs life then. Everybody has it in for you"
 Dan O'Neil patted the belligerent fan on the back after the fracas was all over and told him to be sure and be on hand at the next game. An ugly and trouble seeking manager could have caused a whole mess of i'll feeling by acting differently.
 If Waterbury should take both games to-day and Springfield should be beaten by Norwich. we would lay claim to second position with a good margin to spare Even should Springfield win we would still be in second.
 Umpire Shamokln Kelly announced yesterday that he had forfeited a game to Waterbury up in Hartford. SO all the other papers in the circuit better get to work and change their standings. We need that forfeited game in our business.
 Such scenes as those of yesterday are not good to look at While Mil Ter may have been a bit to blame. the fans should remember that he had been working hard all day and to be given abuse and gfbes after he lost was sort of rubbing 1t in

JOSEPH ooNDoN's NERVE.
Ex-Boxer Shot in Saloon Won't Iden-
 tfy self-Confessed Assailant.

New York, Aug f0.-Joseph Con- don of AS Hicks street. who former ly frequently figured as a scrapper in South Brooklyn, was shot in the left breast and seriously wounded early yesterday morning by John w. Shackleton. the bartender in a ss- loon at 553 Henry street.
 Shackleton was closing up the sa- loon when Condon, accompanied by John Reid of 555 Henry street and Benjamin Leon, who also lives in the neighborhood, rushed in and advanc- ing to the bar demanded a round of drinks. When the drinks were re- fused the trio started in to wreck the place. Shackleton drew a revolver and fired two shots at them. One of the bullets lodged in Condon's left breast and the other ripped hole In Reid's coat
 A policeman hurried the injured man to the Long Island College hos pital. and Shackleton. who admitted the shooting. was also taken there to be identified by the victim. Con- don, however. refused to identify shackleton as the man who shot him.
 That sin't the fellow that done me up." he said. "A fresh guy who had 1t in for me whipped out a gun on me in Henry street and gave it to me. That ain't the fellow"
 The policeman. turning to Schak- teton, said: Didn't you shoot himrP
 "surei" the bartender replied. IT did it In sslf-defense-
 Condon still insisted that it vas another who shot him and then begged fo be left slone Ehaeklsfor, vas held for examination.

Umpire Finds Injury More Severe
 Than Was Thought.

Umpire Charlie Kennedy is laid up as the result of an injury sustained couple of weeks ago in Bridgeport and will probably be out of commits sion for another fortnight. Kennedy was struck in the groin by ball but didn't pay much attention to the in- jury at the time. It has since pro duced an aggravation that 1t has been found necessary to lance the wound. Mike Hickey is to substitute while Kennedy is on the hospital list.

Stovall and Delehanty Will Join the
 Reading Team.

Reading, Pa, Aug. 10.-George Stovall and Frank Delehanty. who were suspended by the Cleveland club several days ago. will become members of the Reading club of the Atlantic league. The Atlantic is known in baseball as an outlaw league. According to the manager of the Reading club, Stovall and Delehanty have accepted the clubs terms, and will receive more money for their services than has ever been paid baseball players by a local club. The Reading club has rival here in the Reading club of the Tri-State league and the struggle for public favor has led the former to make ex- traordinary effort to add to it's strength.

The Los Angeles sporting world is agog over an other big pugilistic scandal rivaling the O'Brien and Burns fiasco of some months ago.

 Prominent San Francisco sporting men and representatives of the ed and are charged with having of ed and are sharged with having of fered large sums of money to break up the match. The reason for this was that 1t interfered in various ways with the Britt-Gans match scheduled to take place in San Fran cisco in September.

THE PUGILISTS
GOOD BATTLES
 LAST NIGHT
Three Knockouts in One Ring Cans and Britt Select Place
 For Fight.

l Jimmy Barry of Chiago knocked out Kid Cutler, John L. Sullivan's sparring partner, last night at the Brown Athletic club at Rockaway Beach. Until the decisive blow was struck in the ninth round, Cutler had a shade the better of the bout. l During the first round Barry ap- parently held his opponent too cheap ly and merely spared and tapped him. He continued these tactics in the early part of the second round, but before the round was half over Cutler landed a hard right hand swing on the Chicago boys jaw, and the latter fell to his knees. He was up in jiffy and fought fast until the bell. ended the round.
 From then until the eighth round both resorted to much infighting. Cutler landed more blows but his punches lacked sufficient power to stop his opponent.
 In the middle of the ninth round Barry landed hard right hand up- percut on Cutters jaw and the lat ter fell to the floor unconscious. He was not revived for several seconds. Young Murphy knocked out Jim Bonds in three rounds. Billy Bar rett was beaten by Jed Fitzgerald, Dick Nelson knocked out Lew Mey- CTS in two rounds. The club house was crowded.
 Harry Lewis, the Philadelphia welterweight at the Philadelphia Broadway Athletic club last night met two men in the same ring, and got away with the trick. He first beat Boxer" Kelley in three rounds. Kid Locke, his second opponent, stood with Lewis toe to toe for two rounds. Then Lewis began to box with the sturdy little Italian. Locke for his aggressiveness was entitled to draw had decision been rendered.

He Killed a Bear.

Let the earth rejoice. The Presi
dent has killed bar.
The story was among the Associ-
ated Press dispatches yesterday. 1t
was snet from the canebrakes to New
Orleans to Mr.. John Parker, by Il
member of the hunting party, and
read as follows:
president Roosevelt killed Il great
big bear. Went into thicket this af-
ternoonr'
That is all. We suppose the quiv-
ering telegraph wire could bear no
more, since it was big bear, and
the President killed him. The Asso-
ciated Press editor adds: "No par
ticulars were stated in the telegram. y
Surely none were necessary. 1t
does not matter who went into the
thicket nor what they went for,
whether because the President shot q
big bear, or before he shot him, to
help to shoot him, to take him (the
bear) out CT the woods, or for any
other reason. OF course it is impor-
tant to know that it was "this after
noon" The story is complete with
the single sentence: The President
killed a great big bear.

We believe that the Times. however

wrong and that it did no more than a
good many other papers in the State
have done-but they have not been
caught up Wilmington Nessen-
ger.
Whether there was Intentional
wrong in the relation which the news
paper bore to the railroad need not
discussed. 1t would appear, however,
that an institution, resting primarily
upon the function of enlightening the
people, should itself be conducted on
principles not vioIative of elemental
standards of right. But the intima-
ton of tie Messenger that many
other papers in North Carolina differ
from the Times, as to transactions
with the railroads, only in not hav-
ING been found out, is very serious
indictment of the press of the State,
and one which should not be brought
except upon strong evidence. A Jour
nal subsidized secretly by any special
interest IL no more nor less than a

The Dead Beat Doesn't Want His
Business Advertised.
Eikin Times

G.IhIn HHeE
A man who will make a debt and
never pay it, or who will not make an
honest effort to pay it, or who will
make a debt that he knows he will
not be able to pay. is devoid OF the
sense OF moral rectitude and deserves
only the contempt Of honest men
everywhere.
From q cOmlnercial standpoint IL
mans reputation for honesty is his
most valuable asset, and he cannot
be too careful about how he preserves
his good name untarniShed; for
blOts upon it are indelible. He may
apply Il coat of whitewash in the
form OF an occasional act of spas
mode honesty, but the black stain
upon his reputation shows through,
the whiteWash soon wears off, leav-
ing bin as before its application, a
walking advertisement of his own
dishonesty.
But the honest public is getting
tired OF him and is determined that
he shall 10 longer feed upon the
fruits OF their honest toll. He must
work and pay his debs or starve.
These collection agencies are organ
lied for the purpose of looking after
these leecheS. One of the methods
(and themost effective one) employed
i'll dealing with this class is to adj
vertise them-hold up their dishonest
acts to public gaZA-.and when one
| moves away to send his reputation
along after him. This method OF
procedure gets close after them-the
| dead beat doesn't want his business
advertised-and seems productive Of
better results than any other meth
Cd that has ever been tried.

Senator Overman and Prohibition.

The Greensboro Record thinks that
"maybe Gov. Glenn merely wants TO
put Senator Overman on record as

stead Of Winston" 1t may be OF
some interest to our contemporary
to know that Senator Overman has
been on record OH the temperance
question since he first aspired to OF
flee some twenty-five years ago. In
1892, when he was nominated by the
Democrats of Rowan county for the
Legislature, prohibition was the all
absorbing issue, Senator Overman
stamping the county for it and being
pitted against the late Captain Chas.
Price, an intellectual giant. 1t was
battle royal and the result was In
doubt to the last. but the Senator
was elected by less than one hun

prohibition.-Salisbury Post.
Senator Overman's friends were
aware that he has been IL prohibi-
zionist for years. But the Senator
hasn't proclaimed the fact from the
housc-tops and hasn't busted himself
to advocate prohibition for other
communities whileneglecting his own.
Neither did he attempt to influence
the Legislature to allow the towns (?)
of Williams and Shore the special
privilege of making liquor, an abso-
lutely indefensible special privilege
given these places by the Legislature
OF 1903, but which the Legislature OF
1905 was sensible enough to correct.
The Senator may be too modest,
but these are the facts.
