DRAFTING SEASON.
Major Leaguers May Name Their
 Choice After August 25.

The drafting season in the Connec- ticut league will begin Aug. 25, and of course any sales of players must come between now and that time. The Boston Nationals have been given un- til Aug. IS to state whether or not tLey want Tom" Standard, but Manager O'Neil says he will ask the Boston management to decide at a much car- Her date as he wants a chance to dis pose of bis player should Boston fail to make deal before the big leagucrs exercise the privileges of the open season on stars. Just how many Con- necticut leaguers will be bagged is a question. though the number will not be as high as most people think. And then again just how many of those that shine in the half light of this circuit will gllsten in the realm of dazzling rays Is another question.
 Among the locals Eddie Farley seems to be the only one that is be- ing sought after by the big leagues. Report has 1t that Hughey Jennings took an option on him after his game here last Sunday and will pay S2,000 for him at the close of the season. The deal for Ward. so 1t is said has fallen through. Swander may go higher but not into the big leagues possibly. Lachance too may be spok- en for by some of the Eastern league teams. It is pretty certain that Far ley will not be seen in local uni- form next season for some one of the teams will get him.

"NoBBY" KNowLToN UMPIRE.
Former Polo Player Had Some Great
 Experiences.

"Nobby" Knowlton baseball player and umpire. polo player and referee. has been in Canada and Wisconsin umpiring. He is back at his home in Salem now and the performer. who has played polo here and is known to many of the followers of sports is thus written up by the Salem News after he told the News man his story:
 Elmer B. Knowlton of this city has had perhaps one of the most unique experiences of any Salemite In sport ing circles. Knowlton has had a hand in many different branches, and still retains his interest in all games. He is now at his home in this city.
 "Knowlton's latest venture was trip to northwestern Canada. where he umpired in the baseball league. In Canada the promoters know little of the sport and a favorite player may practically run the team and n;an- agement as well. Such conditions pre- vailed in the Nurthewest league, and resulted In many unfortunate happens ings. The players turned out to be rowdles. and hardly a game passed without fight.
 "Knowlton and Jack Priest. tho old player. were the ump,res. Good sal- aries were paid. the pca recdrinz s125 a month. Priest never held the indicator before, while Knowltoa had met many rowdy players ln his career. Priest WAS easy to handle. but trouble was found by those who were seeking it by encounterius Knowlton.
 The Salem man did excellent work. He kept the game as it should be and was highly commended for it. On several times for rough work and fighting. Knowlton placed fine of SIS or t25 on players. To demonstrato that this was proper. the police court repeated the same dose the next day.
 Where perhaps a little diplomacy might have paved the way for the sea- son. Knowlton could not bring hineelf around to It. He wanted to run the 4 game as the umpire should. or throv up his job. The players formed sonse- man was ostraciEed- As a result Dc left. but before leaving. Dc received a handsome endorsement of his work from the president of the league.
 "In Wisconsin Knowlton struck a state league. The towns were on new and the venture was being tried ont. He offciated as umpire and did ex- ceIIent work. While laying oa fron duty one day tbe second basemnn of one of the teams was taken sick and Knowiton went in at second This wat for the Menimonee nine. The Salem man made good, but ss the league ras not paying very large salaries. bs left with the promise Of a managers berth next season.
 -In all Knovlton traveIed about 10. ooo miles. it taking Eve days fo rezc Calgary. and the jumps were 200 rn| 300 miles eseh. From Wisconsla vas a long jump"

 NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-Gowan. open ing at 20 to and closing at to 1, was the strongest played winner at Brigh- ton. Four favorites won. and the crowd in attendance fared unusually well.
 There was a getaway killing in the opening race that brought tears to the eyes of the liberal men in the ring when the son of Armeath and Meadow ley, making his first appearance of the year. was handed out as a real good thing. So strong was the tip and so much money was bet on him that bis odds fell from % to [. and he brought 1t all home in such good shape that his packers never had a moments uneasiness after the bead of the stretch was reached.
 Rosimiro. who should have been the favorite. was good second. while third money went to Deslrous. the fa- vorite. Masquerade. from the Keene barn. is running yet. SO far as any one knows to the contrary. The winners:

THE PUGILISTS
LITTLE CHAPS
 ARE MATCHED
Dick Hyland and Tommy Murphy Will Meet in Philadelphia
 Bouts Last Night.

Fighting Dick Hyland and Tommy Murphy will battle on September II in Philadelphia before the National Sporting club. This was decided upon last night when Matchmaker Harry Edwards met Sam McClintic and Johnny Oliver and offered them $2,500 purse. The agreement calls for six rounds straight Marquis of Queensberry rules, protect your self at all times"
 Excepting for a half-inch differ ence in height, there is not particle of difference in these little fighters, and as they both go into a battle on the slam-bang order it's a pretty safe bet that there will be knock out. It goes without saying that a big delegation will go over from New York to witness the fight.
 Hyland and his manager to-day will look at training quarters in New Dorp and also Stamford, and decide upon one of them. George Decker of Philadelphia will be Hyland's sparring partner while he is training for the fight.
