about the harness racers than II
other MAJ hereabouts just now, was
taking in the game. Next to him
sat a bumptious fellow who re-
minded me of a fellow who had seen
a game of ball back in the sixties and
tEen quit the game because he didn't
know anything about 1t He remarked
to the horseman hat a certain piece of
inside ball playing was "a chump'
play. The horseman, who is a piece
of velvet in his way, drawled out, "Oh,
I guess Stallings knows The game. He
sem Mailing to do that stunt" What
business has Stallings to tell a player
how to go to the bat?" was the
astonished question / heard put to the
horseman, and the reply hat came out
was to the point and recalled that old
saw that is referred to here. The
lorseman in his velvet voice put the
other fellow to out by saying, well,
/ guess Stallings has a right to his
cwn opinion" And I guess Stallings
Is a fellow who is going to have his
opinion, and he will express it, too.
Trolley Baseball.
If could stand in comfort on one
of those trolley, cars from the park
every afternoon he would be able to
hear some sweet discussions on the
various plays of the game. But COM
fort on these trolley cars is a foreign
substance. Just hang on and be glad
that the over-officious spotter allows
you to stand on the car at all. Coming

got to arguing over Jimmy Mullen's
stand at the plate. "He tries to get hit
said one fan. ooh, that isn't ball play
ing" said another. and the third man
was asked what he had to say. II
think Mullen is playing the game as it
should be played. If everything in war
is fair, then everything in baseball is
fair" Then the others rather sided with
this last man, and the entire game was
rehearsed from beginning to end, 1t
was baseball trolleying, but it was in
teresting, just the same.
That Foxing Invention.
Gus Troxler's foxing tool has been
given the sanction of one of the best
known legal lights in Essex County,
who says that the "foxing'' instrument
does not come within the meaning of
the law, where it says that gloves shall
not be used, etc. This certainly means
n great deal to Troxler, who can travel
from one State to the other and give
foXing exhibitions without fear of
molestation from police or high-priced
constables. There will be no chance TO
blackmail the professor from the time
he starts out on his trip. And. there are
constables in certain sections of this
State who have made a big. fat living
on private fights, both between humans
and the feather variety. IL Troxler's
invention is properly looked after by
himself. he is in a line to make money.
He is going TO hold a big show VI at
the Colosseum next Thursday night,
when his new device will be exhibited
in ten bouts between youngsters who
know how to handle their dukes with
the prohibited gloves.

PITCHER SUMMERS HAS
ANOTHER NEW CURVE,

DETROIT. Mich. May Eddie
Summers, the indianapolis recruit Sc
cured by the Tigers, denies he is a
"knuckle ball' twirler. Eddie. since
he has Joined the league, has beer able
to watch those who use the knuckle
bah, and says his curve is nothing like
1t. He does not deliver the ball in that
way, nor is the effect the same. In this
he is packed up by the veterans of the
Detroit team and by Umpire Silk
O~'Loughlin.
"Summers's curve is the most re-
markable ball pitched today" said Silk
OLoughlin. i've never seen anything
like it. 1t seems to flow to the plate,
Just slowly twisting. Then, suddenly,
as it comes up 1t reverses and curves
the other way. AS it does this it al
most stops. and looks exactly as though
it were going back to the pitcher. Then
1t drops away and the batter has
missed it by a foot or more. Sum
iners has perfect control of it and uses
1t all the time"

"FALKY" MUST PAY UP.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, May 1.-The National
Baseball Commission has Indefinitely
suspended Pitcher Fred F~alkenberg, of
the Washington American League
Club. When Falkenberg went to
Washington from the Harrisburg Tri-
state League team he was in debt to
the management of that club to the eX-

by the commission to liquidate this
obligation and was given several days
in which to make good, but failed to
do so. This morning President John
son received a telegram from President
Hermann, of the commission, ordering
F~alkenberg's indefinite suspension.

OLYMPIC CHAMPIONSHIP.

Australian newspapers are bemoaning
the fact that Cecil Healy, the crack all
around swimmer of New South Wales,
will be unable to compete in the Olym-
pic championships in England next
summer. Healy has business Engage
ments which he does moi feel he can af-
ford to break, and the associations re-
quest that he would become a member
of the Australian team was met with
the champions regrets.
His absence will weaken the Anto-
podean contingent considerably in the
sprints, but will hardly make any ma
terial difference in the fnal outcome,
for there is hardly a possibility of his
beating Daniels or Hallway at 100 yards,
and it is a question whether he would
even take third. AS for the other

BY OLD SPORT.

That misft pugilistic duo. Bill Squires,
of Australia, and Jem Roche, of Ire
land, met yesterday afternoon In Dub
lin and the Squires man won in the
fourth round, and to add to the affair
the winner got a purs of over $l,00O,
and, it is said, though I don't believe
it, these two dubs fought for a side
bet of 81, 900. The bout was scheduled
to go twenty rounds, and he reports
of the affair which have reached his
side say that it was a slam bang at-
fair. There must be an awful dearth
of sports in Ireland when two such
'longshoremen as these two can get a
crowd to go into a hall and watch them
windmill their way int the purses OF
the public. Either hat or else every
body in ireland is as crazy now as
they were on the night of the big wind,
if you know when that was. Then on
the top of the fight ocmes this story:
"Bill Squires has found hackers to
pit him against Tommy Burns again"
Now this makes me think that Burns
must have a professional booster whose
duty it is to go around among the Dub
lin sporting element and encourage
them to get some one like Squires to
fight Burns again. Burns is liable to
work these kind of tricks. If Squires
and Burns frame up a match again 1
will surely send word to Ireland asking
the police to stop the fight. Wouldn't
you?

left his old manager over in Brooklyn,
making an Easy living for himself and
his young wife from the City of
Churches, whom he married there when
he bad good-by to his friend and
started for the West, where he has been
ever since, giving boxing instructions.
The fight last night only lasted foul
rounds, but that could not have sur
prised Tommy any. He hasn't fought
n battle in ten years of any impor-
lance, and when he started to make
the weight for this fight he discovered
that ne was not as good as he was
years ago. 1t is funny how some
that they are going and not coming.
