MCCORMACK JUMPS?
Nashville Paper Says That He Has
 Kangarooed Again.

Michael Mccormack, the human grasshopper, has departed our fair city. Either that or he is now
 poised for a flight, as he failed to show up in Sulpher Dell Wednes- day, passing Bernhard word that his his days as a volunteer were over. This makes the second time in two seasons here that Mike has kan garooed the populace, for in mid summer of last season he sprung the same gag on Jimmy Dobbs, put ting that worthy in an awful hole and starting the team on its down ward course.
 Mccormack began to grow rest less under the hammering he was getting several days back and on Monday announced to the Baron squad that he was even then trim ming his sails for distant voyage. Bernhard was tipped off and Bill got his short stopper's promise to stay until he could plug up the gap. In leaving, however, as he did. Me- Cormack hurt himself more than he will hurt the team. Bernhard had made arrangements with the Cleveland club to ship him to that town, where they have several ath- letes hors de combat The chances are that he would have worked in nicely there.- but. he'll work no more this season in organized baseball for Bernhard has suspended him for the rest of the year. Which means that Mike will make up some othet occupation or pick up a few spare here and there in outlaw society. .---.-
 Mccormack was a good ball play he wanted to be. But the fact that he has twice jumped team at critical stages of race should blot him out of good base ball society. He has no place in square sport.-Nashville Tennesean.

MATHEwsoN AND wADDELL.
Why One Pitcher Has Failed and tho
 Other Succeeded.

The case of Rube Waddell three years ago Is cited as a peculiar in- stance of an overnight" pitching res versal. Rube, however. has always been in a class by himself. No one can analyEe his success. his failure, his character. his temperament or his mental processes. He could pitch championship ball to-day against any major league team if he wanted to, but he doesn't want to. Christy Math- ewson of the New York Nationals has lost some of his one time skill pfi- marily because of the serious illness that sapped his strength and from which he has not even to this day fully recovered. His pitching arm is as muscular as ever. but Matty lacks his once superb endurance. Last year he gave evidence of splendid baseball wisdom by relying largely on a slow ball. thus husbanding his strength. and had he so continued this season his record to date would surely have shown fewer cloudy spots. But Matfy felt his oats" and began sending in his speedy shoots. those wonderful drops that brought him to the top.  and he couldn't last. The slow ball is the one thing that will bring Mat ~ back to his one time niche In base ball fame. But the slow bah is an old mans trick. and Matty is young. ambitious and headstrone and thinks he will lose caste hy adopting it as a necessary adjunct Here is another prominent cause of pitching rever- ssls: young player Of spirit. re- slizing correctly that a pitchers speed is. after all. his greatest asset tmake no mistake on this point as to The superior value of speedl will gen. erally refuse to ease up materially h the force of his delivery when neces- sarv and 90 will strain the ilsamentH Of his pitching arm. working per- mansnt Injury.

THE DIAMOND
SHUT OUT WAS
 OUR BEST BET
Hartford Did tbe White Washing Although It Was Not Real
 Bad -- Other Games.

The Hartford Courant speaks in part of that game of yesterday as follows:
 "Julo Rice, the rexy rex boy from Perdue university, was introduced 10 Hartford audience yesterday after noon at the baseball park and send ing him in against Waterbury was good deal like trying it on the dog. When the Waterbury men heard that the newcomer was to be used they thought they would get little rice pudding with big raisins in it but about all they got was as much as would be found in pan after hungry boy was through with it and a cat had licked the dish. Manager Durant is entitled to good deal of credit for the game fight he is mak- ing to keep his head above water. There are. very few managers who would still be in the game after all the tribulations that he has had. Still, it is hard to see what progress can be made with the bunch that is wearing Waterbury uniform. Mur- phy, the third baseman, is only a half portion of player and he must look funny in long trousers. One of the Hartford hits was secured, be- cause the ball bounded over Mur- phys head and it must have gone fully five feet in the air. Campbell, the shortstop, is the man who made five errors in one game. When hs plays, all that is necessary is to add hot water and serve. Mullaney, the right fielder, is big fellow and Wa terbury is said to have given S0.000 for him. Captain Fitzpatrick has returned to the fold but Candy La chance is said to be out of. legaue baseball. He refused to go to New Haven and is. going to play on a semi-professional team. Thus is re- moved the only mustached player in the league, with the exception of Manager O'Rourke. There wasn't much to the game outside the pitch- ing of Rice.
 "Sillery started for Waterbury. With two out in the first, Gardner reached second on an error by Campbell and scored on hit by Connery. Yancey opened the second with hit. Justice bunted and Sil- lery threw so wildly that Yancey reached third Justice stole second A passed ball scored Yancey. Jus tice going to third. O'Leary struck out and Rice was passed. An ex- change of pitchers was made then and when Sillery threw the bah down Justice came in. Wallace walked in the fifth. Fallon sacrificed and Gardner's hit scored Wallace. The last run was made in the eighth. With two gone, Connery and Moves singled. While Moves stole second, Connery came in. The Waterbury team took a brace af- ter Bronkie went into the box but the men were unable to bunch hits on Rice. Attendance, 1900. The score.n .-.--

KEENE WINS SUBURBAN.
His coIors, Carried by Ballot, Finish
 In Front--Rettina Not Dead.

m FFoht-bettlno Not Dead.
 New York, June 2o.-Ballot, a sturdy four-year-old son of Voter, at Sheeps- head Bay carried the famous white
 with the blue polka dot colors of James R. Keene to victory in the $25.. 900 Suburban handicap, the premier racing event of the United States. He won with ease by two and half lengths. Struggling gamely forward at the finish came John F. Madden's three-year-old colt King James. hard driven with whip and heel. five lengths before Fair Play. the pride of August Belmont's stable. Master Robert was fourth. and the remainder of the field of twelve was we'll strung out.
 The time for the mile and a quarter was 2:03, being one-hfth of a second slower than the worlds record for the distance. made by BrOomstick at Brigh- ton Beach July Q. 1904.
 The enforcement of the new law against betting had It's effect upon the attendance, for despite the brilliant weather not more than 10000 persons passed through the gates to witness the classic race. Under old conditions the stands would have groaned under the weight of at least 30.0o0 souls. while the great stretches of green swand and the betting rings would have been crowded with a writhing mass of humanity.
 There was considerable betting on the races. It was easier to lay a wager than on previous days since the pas sage of the new antibetfing law by reason of the fact thar counsel for the Coney Island Jockey club early in the 1 day secured an injunction restraining I the police from interfering with the l orderly gathering together of crowds i of patrons in any portion of the grounds. Previously the police had for bidden gatherings of three or more I persons. Summaries.

LIGHT WORK BY CREWS. Rough Water Interferes With Hard
 Practice,

Gales Ferry, June 20.-The Yale crews rowed up stream for three quarters of mile yesterday morning being prevented from doing hard practice by rough water. The water continued rough yesterday afternoon and the men were not sent out on the river until after z o'clock The fresh- men eight went up stream for two miles accompanied by the varsity. Both the crews rowed exceedingly we'll.
 The Harvard crews had only light work yesterday morning and after noon owing to rough water. Coach wray directed all of the work from his single shell which consisted of short stretches, Coach wray and Cap tain Richardson paying special at- tention to little details of crew work.
