meets with in this effort will depend
whether or not the movement tor
fair will be pressed at tkis time,
Present at the meetiRg were only
seven OF the directors the absence
OF the others being explained by the
fact that several are sut OF the tity,
several confined at home and or ers

undoubtedly result in great benefit
to this city, by drawing trade and at-5
traeting hundreds of peop!e to Viii

bg several of the speakers that prob-
ably it would not be possible at the;
present time of the financial depres-)

sufficient amount OF money with
which to launch the fair On sd is

considered chat 1t would be w;sest to
postpone action for g. few months,
when the proper and neces sars f1nan-

business men D." -'Esla ara z
In reply to the questions as to the
amount thought to be needed to 6 tart
the fair Mr.. Peschau, the secretary,
stated that it had been estimated that
the necessary grounds could be OBJ
tanned and buildings erected for $780,
900 or $35 ,o0O.a 90 .i.=E"
IF each Of the l5 directors would
pledge to underwrite $1,000 worth OF
the bonds the amount could be raisel
without doubt as subscriptions for

But Mason. the $500, hasn't apparently
the game. and is the anage of the
Lawrence team in the New England
league. He takes his turn regularly in
the box and is as good as any twirler
in that league.
Price Doesn't Count.
Because "a small fortune is spent in
securing a player from the minors by
the major leagues doesn't always mean
beater. Every baseball fan in this city
has one time or another heard of Nick
AltroCk, who figured in the old Atlantic
League before he went back again into
the minor ranks. When Arthur Irwin
was scouting around for players for the
major league he dropped into Oswego,
N. Y, one day and saw Nick twirl a
game. Right away Nick was drafted
for the measly sun of 500. That is
many years ago, and Mel is still in the
/ game, and is pitching for the White
SCX team in the American League,
and goes into the box in his turn. He
certainly was a cheap purchase, for he
did good work for every team owner
he has been identified with since he left
the "bushers" at Oswego. So you can
| see from these examples cited that tho
paying of $11 900 for Rube Vanguard
doesn't really mean anything. Tho
drafting process will continue to be
followed as long as there is baseball.

HOT WEATHER HAS
BAD EFFECT ON
THE OLD MASTER

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-Sev-
eral boxing experts who returned yes
terday from Hardin Springs, where Joe
Cans has been staying since his de-
feat by Battling Nelson, give gloomy
reports of the ex-champion's condition,
Il the reports are borne out by pho
%tographs, They say the excessively lot
weather in AXE County has had a bad
effect on Cans. He is drawn, win the
face of an old man. Cans picked up
weight at first, when the weather was
good, but lately, since the mercury
has run far above the hundred mark,
Cans lost flesh, until now he weighs
only 1874 pounds. He goes out horse
back riding and driving, but open an
exercise does not seem to make him
rugged. He looks tired, and lately he
has lost his appetite.
Joe attributes this to the heat, and
a Y he will be all right when he getS
to the coast next week. He is Opt
mistic and he says he feels well, bur
his looks belle him and his step lacks
it's old ginger. If he igets into shape
for his return fight with Nelson 1t will
be a miracle. the sporting men say.

GIANTS LOSE one
MORE CHANCE TO
JUMP On TOP
Lost to Superbas When Cubs
Took Fall Out of
Pirates.

Once more the Giants failed, as did
the Pirates. The lowly Superbas beat
their hated rivals. the Giants, and beat
them proper and now the Giants are
thirsting for revenge The race for
the lead in the National League is the
best in several years. Even now it is
~anyone's battle between the Pirates,
Cubs and Giants, with the Phinies
coming along strong. The Giants are
standing pat on their lineup. The
Pirates, too, are satisfied for the pres
ent, and the Cubs will go along for a
while. Murray, with his Quaker bunch,
is out to strengthen his club wherever
possible. True, the Quakers are going
fine at present. and are apt to come
out on top at the finish, but they have
to go a longer way than the rest OF the
first division clubs. Murray "A his
men are playing by far the most con
sistent ball in the National League
Yesterday. however, they were only
able to split a double-header with the
Bostons. Foxen lost out in the very
last inning, after pitching great ball
for eight sessions. McQuillan went in
and got the second game nicely.
When Charley Murphy was in New
ark Sunday he told the writer that al
Miller Brown had to do was throw his
glove in the diamond at Pittsburg and
the Cubs could win. True enough, the
Pirates looked scared yesterday wher
they faced the three-fingered wonder.
They did not get a look in. Even Hans
Wagner failed to get a hit.
The Cubs crawled up on the Giants
and are not so far from their old po-
sition at the top. Soon they are COINS
on their home lot to play.
