Interesting Race Now on Be-
tween Clubs in City
: League.
BY EDWARD P. luEEY.

Before Bud Sharpe left for his Penn
tlvania home yesterday, he notified
IaEager Joseph McDonough, of the Or
lnge Valley team, that he could not
lold the Tigers together for a game on
the valley grounds next Sunday. Bud
desired very much to play the game
md held off until yesterday morning
before giving Mr.. McDonough an an
swer. He was anxious that the team
go to the valley. because of the fine
showing that the semi-profession3l
team made against the Tigers. Sew
eral of these players were members of
the valley team. Mr.. McDonough held
out big inducements for the players, but
they were all longing for home and
their winter tasks.
The double victory of the Lincoln
team in the City League games Sunday
makes the race interesting now. The
Ironsides by a double defeat have to
work hard to retain their reputation of
being the best team in the league.
Manager Planners Washingtons have
not gained anything by the wholesale
changing about that he has been re-
sponsible for.
Flick Luyster never worked harder in
his life than in Sundays games. Flick
is considered a good man. That shows
the speed of local ball players.
O'Neill, Of the Pathways, has been
playing one of the best games of his
career this year. High and low, fast
and slow, they have been alike to him
at short, and he has been hitting, too.
Harry Welsher, of the Ironsides, made
an extra dollar Sunday morning by
rapping out a two-timer when a hit
was needed. This was the third time
during the season that Harry got some
extra money. BY the way, this boy is
developing into a great catcher. Two
years more professional baseball ought
to have a Welsher battery, Abe and
Harry.
Carroll made a spectacular catch in
the morning Ironside-Linco,n game. He
went away back of the left field crowd
for the soarcr from a Lincoln bat. No
body knew whether he had caught it or
not until the crowd at the point the
catch was made began to applaud.
Kid Kurfess, of the Tigecs, of Walls
burg, covered himself with glory Sun
day against the Rosevilles. This chap,
with everything that a pitcher should
have, curves, crossire, speed and con-
troll, had the older Rosevilles standing
on their heads. He a V them three

ISLAND nFSpnrs


Quite an interesting vplume might be written OF
'he lslahos on the coast Of Europe in many in
stances the ownership been vested in one single
Ia1lly Tor generations. and the head of the house
IS the virtual ruler, whom the other dveIlers
OF the island are subject His government is gen
orally autocratic, and. while the islands theoreti
cally belong 10 another of the recognized
powers OF Europe. the authority which the latter
exercises is rather that Of suzerain than Of
ereign True. the ruler has no power Of life and
death, although the nagisteraI prerogatfves which
are customariy vested in his hands enable him tc
eonsign criminal TO TAIL But ne possesses the
arbitrary right TO expel from his island any one
who has incurred his dspleasure.
One Of these island despots has just passed away
IN the person Of Michael Waters. whose family
has for two hundred years owned the island
Of Innismurrsy. in Sligo Bay. and although his
kingdom small and his subjects few he ruled
over very quaint community. which practically
knew no law but his will and devoted themselves
under his patriarchal sway TO farming, fishing and
10 the manufacture Of Illicit whskey. The island
boasts Of some the most Interesting remains OF
early monastic architecture TO be found in Ireland
St Mulasius, pupil Of St Patrick. established
monastery the island. of which some perfect
beehive buildings still remain together with
primitive oratory- in which rests wooden repre-
sentation of ST. Mulssius himself. The islanders
look upon this figure with extreme veneration, and
jealously guard any irreverent interference
by visitors King Waters has been buried with
such state his subjects could compass, in the
graveyard which is reserved for the male inhap-
itants Of the island. Women are inferred in an
other cemetery at some distance off. and the ISL
anders firmly believe that male could rest con-
tent in the female burial place, and that any at
tempt 70 inter him there would result in the unrest
Of his spirit and in ghostly visitations- And now
the son OF King" Waters reigns in his stead.
Among others owning islands are Lord Revel-
stokes brother and heir. the Hon Cecil Barring,
who has American wife. the daughter OF the
later Pierre Lorillard, her first husband. from
whom she divorced, being T Suffern Taller
She queens over the island Of Lambay. which lies
just north Of Howth, and is about six hundred
acres IN area. 4 number Of small slets are IN the
immediate vicinity. and belong Lambay, tnclud-
ing among them -Innis-Patrick- noted as the spot
on which ST. Patrick hFst landed in ireland and
where he built his first church. The place Is most
picturesque ard can boast OF excellent natural
ba-bor. very convenient for the several yachts Of
Cecil Barring and he has erected very handsome
country house on ere Of the most inviting sites
on the island. MARQCIsE DE FONTENOY.
