Chicago.-Special.-Rube Fos-
ter, the crack pitcher of the Le-
land Giants, is spending the winter
in Cuba twirling for the Havana
team. During a recent game on
the island between the Havanas
and Almendares Rube was beaten
4 to B.. in which two home runs off
the colored pitcher turned the tide
of battle. In fact he was hit hard
er than Chicago fans are accustom-
ed to see. Not in the number. but
in the equality, and not once did
the great Foster fan batter. He
pitched against Ortega in this par
ticular game, and, according to the
Havana Daily Post, was outclassed.
The crowd 1900, went wild when
it saw the noted Chicago twirler
driven out of the box. Foster had

HERE'S THE QUEEREST
BASEBALL YARN YET

The queer things which are all the
time happening in baseball furnish
much food for the fans who are
. bugs on the game. Perhaps ebe
queerest thing that ever happened dur
ing a game Of baseball was pulled off
one day in Chicago when Andy Moyni-
han Of the Chicago club was playing
thirdbase and with a runner on first
base. The next batsman mp hit ter
rife liner down where Andy was All
set for the catch. and as the ball came
hurting through space with lightning
like velocity Andy stuck up his m
gloved hand and the ball stuck in it.
just after the catch was made the
spectators were surprised to see The
third baseman begin dancing about the
field with his hand stuck under his
arm. and the man on first seeing that
something was the matter tore down to
second and then to third and then on

These dimensions viii probably be
followed with the exception of the
length, when the boats for local use

TOO MANY FINGERS
IN PIE FOR SCHRECK

CINCINNATI, Sept 12.-An effort
was made the other day to revive the
proposed fight between Mike Schreek
and Jack johnson, which was to take
place in London on October 10. G. f.
Mathison Of New York, who is repre-
senting the National Sporting club,
wired Schreck. who is in Reading at
present, 30 come on TO New York, and
that he would take MN over the pond.
Sehreck also heard from Boston man
who was willing to take Schreck to
London. But Mike turned all OF them
down. at least for the present. His
reason for so doing Is that zoo many
are in, or want TO declare IN, on the
proposed fight. and all he wuuld have
after the fight was over would be
enough to buy a postage stamp TO write
home for money. Schreck was seen
last night. and IN talking over the af-
fair. said:
Il can I see my way clear go 60 5000

JOE COHEN IS
ABLE BOREAS

The local pugilistic atmosphere is
clearing. Joe Cohen, in the role of
able Boreas, is blowing the mist and
fog away, and soon we may expect to
have number of bouts brought off
in the real, good, old style.
Last night Joe received a cable from
Sol Levinson stating that he was send
ing Joe Leahy on the next Alameda,
due TO arrive here October ,. This
Leahy is a very classy boxer and has
already gone four rounds to a decision
twice with Reilly.
Reilly whistled when he was told
that Leahy was coming, and said that
he was the best man they could posi-
bly, have picked out. 1t seems that he
is a very clever lad and has left
that is about on a par with Charlie s.
This means that the fans viii be treat
ed to a really fast and scientific go
when these two meet, which viii PROB

ENGINEERS TO
PLAY FASHIONS

The Engineers who recently defeated
the Boilermakers viii go up against
the Fashions next Sunday at Kapiolani
Park. 1t is not known who will referee.
1t is understood that there is a protest
in against Charlie Lambert as he takes
up so much room that, if he keeps clear
Of the pitcher. he butts into third base
and shortstop. Whereas, if he allows
the shortstop room in which to turn
around, the pitcher cannot twist his
arm without hitting some part OF
Charlie s massive rotundity.
However this may be, there will be
one grand and lively game and the

LARNED'S RECORIl
IS REMARKABLE

w. A. Larned, the national tennis
is thirty-eight years old and the Oldest
man taking part in tournament tennis.
Four times he has landed the cham
pionship, in 1901, 1902, 1907 and 1908.
In 1892 he won the intercollegiate
championship and in 1894, 1895 and
1898 got as far as the final of the all
eomers only to be beaten. When he
won the aH-comers in 1900 he was beat
en- by NJ d. Whitman in the champion
ship round. But in 1901 Larned won
the right to challenge and took the title
bv the default of Whitman. He de.
Tended in 1902 against r. r. Doherty,
but was beaten in 1903 by IL. l..
Doherty.
Larned took part in the Spanish war
and did not play in the tournament OF
1898. Even by 1899 he had not recOv-
cred from the bad effects Of the tropi-
cal climate. SO these two years may
be said not to count against him. He
did not come through TO prominence
again until last year. when he won the
Etldtlf4AGt LbuB4 W LilF IFAdlAN ~ " -
Cothier. So Larned has won his cham
pionship twice out of four times by
default Larned is a source Of wonder
to the PLAYERS themselves. They can
not see how he does il. The latest
explanation is that age has steadied
down his game 50 that he is no longer
the uncertain player he once was. IL
used to be said Of LarBed that he was
a champion one day and a dub the next,
particularly if on the day he played
bad tennis he was against man he did
not feel sure Of beating. However, it
must be remembered that LarDed
hash Z lost match in two years. He
dosn I play as much tournament tennis
as some Of the other men. but what
he does is gilt-edged. At Longwood
and at Newport he has been the cock
Of the walk for two years, and II must
be conceded that be is the true cham
pion Of the country from every point.

were trying to force Moynihan' s hand
out from where he had it hid.
When finally they succeeded they
found the ball stuck SO tightly in the
third haseman S grasp that it took the
combined efforts of five players to re-
lease it, and then it was noticed that
the partly closed hand was completely
paraIyzed from the shock of the bali

NJ FADDEN OUT
CHAS. WEBER IN
Recent Arrival Will Take Place
of PugiIist Who Wanted
Too Much.

MeFadden will not appear in the ring
with Charlie Reilly week from Sat
urday, October g. It seems that he
promised to appear on being guaran,
teed certain sum then, thinking that
he had the management of the Central
| Club in box where they must put him
on or let the bout fall through, he de-
manded more money.
Fred Smith very properly turned
him down on this and told him that
he could take what he had agreed to
or nothing at all Fortunately for the
management and the general public a
really classy boy of Reilly's weight
has arrived in town and he viii go on
in the place of the other pugilist.
His name is Charlie Weber and he
comes off the transport Crook which
left Honolulu yesterday afternoon. This
lad is in Reilly's class and has, if pos
sible, as good a record as the Homo
| lulu favorite He is only a kiddie,
being just twenty-one years old. yet
he has boxed some very good men and
has a long list of knoekouts and deci-
sions to his credit.
As may be expected from such a
youngster, most of his goes have been
over the short route. Only once has
he hit the twentyround limit and that
was in Australia nearly four years ago,
when he lost narrow decision to Ted
Green, the champion bantam weight of
Australia.
Since that time he has put on weight
to a considerable extent and now boxes
in the lightweight class at about 12S
pounds. At this weight he has met and
defeated some very good men. One of
his best pieces of work was when he
put out Manuel Torres in one round.
This Torres is a colored boxer of won
derful agility and strength, and acted
as one of Joe Gan Is chopping blocks
at the time the colored champion was
preparing for his fight with George
Memsic in Los Angeles. He was, in
fact, considered to be a conner until
Weber met him and ended his aspira-
tions.
W eDef mas TWO uecISlOu over oOhhHAC
Frsyne. lad who went thirty-rounds
to draw with Murphy, and he has a
draw with fighting Dick Hyland, the
man who sent Eddie Hanlon out of the
game. He has defeated Joe Carroll,
one of the best near champions on the
Coast, and has defeated great many
minor fry in fact he has long and
enviable record for lad of his age.
Charlie Reilly has watched Weber
box and he states very emphatically
that he is going up against no easy
game. Zone of the gamest and hard
est hitting boys l have ever seen, says
Reilly and there is genuine respect IN
his tones when he says it.
Reilly will continue to work at the
Orpheum under the direction Of Bob
Ross. and Weber will start in this
morning on the road and at the Hotel
Baths in the afternoon. The latter has
only eight days in which to get fit but,
coming right off a vessel where he. has
been working, he is in fairly good trim
and will have no difficulty, so he states,
in being perfectly fit by the date OF the
contest.

Alf Jungclaus has matched his Candy
Bow against Sure Shot over half mile
course, the race to be run tomorrow
afternoon at Kapiolani Park.
The weight win be 40 pounds, as
Aft weighs about that much and trusts
nobody else TO race his horse for him.
Lewis will ride Sure Shot and VIII
carry dead weight to make up the
amount.
There has been considerable talk
about match between these two fast
horses for some time, but it was only
Yesterday that the match was finally
arranged. 1t is understood that there
is side bet of some proportions, and
the race is bound to be hard one.
