A number of James r. Keene's
race horses were put up at auction
before the races at Sheepshead Bay
recently, and some of them realized
good prices. There was much COM
petition for the three year old
Peter ounce, by Commando-Fair
Vision. When the figures had
reached $4,000 the colt was knocked
down to S. G. Hildreth, but E. r.
Bradley also claimed that he had
made the same bid. So Peter
Ounce was brought back into the
sale ring and was finally sold to
Hildreth for $500. Hildreth also
got the three yea rold Restigouche,
gelding by Commando-Dancing
Water for $4100, after some lively
bidding. Albert Simons paid $500
for Gretna Green, four year old
gelding by Ben Brush-Running
Girl, while H. r. Brandt got the

great game at first base. He was
q hard hitter until he suffered a
broken nose one day, when a
pitched ball landed on his face
After that he was plate shy and
his batting fell off perceptibly. De
troit sold him to Cleveland. He
continued a great fielder, but his
eye did not come back. and
Cleveland let him go a couple of
seasons ago to become manager of
the Indianapolis team.
Against the class A pitchers Carr
again became a slugger, and his
own batting contributed materially
to his teams capture of the A. A
bunting. Charley is one of the tall,
est players in base ball being
about six feet three, and has a mar
velous reach, saving his infielders
many errors on wide throws.

clubs are Columbus and Toledo. O.;

Kansas City, Mo; Louisville, Ky
and Milwaukee, Wis.

STUNG BY BOGUS PUG

A smooth young man recently
stung Salt Lake sports by repre-
senting himself to some that he
was Billy Papke and to others that
he was George McFadden, the for
mer lightweight. He looked like
Papke, which amounts to saying
that he resembled McFadden as
little as a mule does a racehorse.
On the strength of the representa-
tons the sports bought him wine,
took him to theater parties and
slipped him a little change, it is
believed. Then he faded quietly
from the town.
His denouement happened in a
| newspaper Office where the sport
ing editor talked fights and fight
ers and discovered that for a fight
er the fellow knew too little to be
the real goods. So he telegraphed
Papke in San Francisco and re-
| ceived an answer. In the mean
time the imposter had skedaddled

OF course, Garry Hermann is a
wise old owl when it comes to base
ball, and likewise Harry c. Pulliam
is wise young OWL but just the
same there are lot of ball players
the country over who would like to
take issue with Garry and Harry
on the formers recent decision in
regard to protest made by Charlie
Murphy, president of the Chicago
National league base ball team. The
decision was made by Hermann as
chairman of the national commits
sion, and was informally Endorsed
by Pulliam, who is president of the
National league.
The point involved was this:
During game between Chicago
and Pittsburg, in Pittsburg, the
home team had the bases full in
the ninth inning, with two out. A
Pittsburg player hit a clean single
to center field, and the man on
third trotted home with the win
ming run. But the man on first
base did not run to second. He

ever.
Suppose the ball had been hit to
deep short-the kind of a rap on
which there is no chance to get the
man at first, but very possible
play of the man going to second
The runner on third might score
before the out was made at second,
and the batter might easily make
first, but If the shortstop pegged
the runner from first out at second,
.O'Day would never for minute
let the run count. Nor would Herr
mann or Pulliam uphold him if he
did.
Where is the difference? The
Pittsburg player who failed to
touch second base laid himself
liable to a force out. He was re-
tired through the good work of the
Chicago players, and if the Cubs
should happen to lose the pennant
by one game, they would have
every right to hold that O'Day and
Hermann had "skun' them out

pions. The New York twirler for
the remainder of the games will
undoubtedly be George Wiltse, the
tall, angular left handler, who has
done such splendid work for the
Giants all this season.
Aside from Mathewson and
Wiltse, McGraw has no really great
pitcher. Taylor, Crandall Ames
and McGinnity have all done some
good work hurting, but the bulk of
the work, and the work which has
put the Giants in the lead, has been
performed by Mathewson and
Wiltse.
| And McGraw has just one
catcher of championship caliber-
Roger Bresnahan. Roger is one OF
the greatest all around ball players
who ever broke into the business
and without his work behind the
bat, at the bat and on the bases the
New York bunch would never have
gotten into the lead this season.
Should any serious accident be
fall Mathewson, Wiltse or Bresna
han, the Giants chances for The

Drummer Works
Telephone Company

1t has just been discovered that a
has been worked on the telephone
companies of Lansing, Mich. A few
days ago the travelling representa-
tive of business concern located
in a distant city came into town,
canvassed the trade industriously
and landed several orders of good
size.
After his days work was done
he went to the telephone and asked
for Long distance" After the u.s.
ual preliminaries he called for his
brother in the distant city. The
brother could not be located.
Well, then, perhaps the operator
could get his sister. No, his sister
also was out. He was sorry. but
would call again later, and left the
booth, without having to pay toll OF
course as he did not get his party
The next day he departed for pas
lures new, and the telephone com
pany was none the wiser. But the
house had received correct report
of the business done by the drum
mer that day. and the toll was
saved for himself or the house. The
brothers name stood for the
amount of his sales and the sisters
for the character of the order.

sion and gradually worked his way
into their confidence so that large
amounts of coin were fearlessly
risked on him no matter what the
betting price may have been.
In the ring Joe was always a gen.
tlemanly fighter. He never took an
unfair advantage, never had the
referee caution him for butting, u.s.
ing his elbows or indulging in other
unfair play. He was also a merci-
full fellow and often, upon finding
an opponent helpless would plead
with the referee to stop the mill
or with the defeated mans seconds
to toss the towel into the ring.

Senator Lodge then entered into
a laudation of the republican party
and declared that no party of mod
ern times could show such a record
of achievements. He denounced the
democratic party as a party ashamed
of its past. He declared that the re-
publican party had always met every
issue squarely and boldly. He had
something to say regarding the eco
nomic problems of the day. Some
references were made to the relation
of capital and labor. He talked of
new problems arising from the ac-
emulation of great fortune. Then
he told of the policies of his party
along this line, and said in part:
"The response of the people to the
policies urged by the president has
been so emphatic that it has been
made clear, once for all, that the gov
ernment of the United States is new
er to be dominated by ,money and fl
nancial interests, and that the politi-
cal party which permits itself to be
ruled by them is thereby doomed to
defeat.
The Only, Only Policy.
''The policy of the republican par
ty in dealing with these new and for
midable questions which have taken
concrete form in enormous combina-
tions of capital and in great public
service corporations has been formu-
lated and determined. That policy
is to use government regulation and
supervision for the control of cor
porations and combinations so that
these great and necessary instru-
ments of commerce and business may
be preserved as u6eful servants and
not destroyed because they have
threatened to become dangerous mas
ters.
This policy is the absolute oppo-
site of government ownership and all
like measures, advocated by our op-
ponents, which tend directly to So
cialism and to all its attendant mis-
cries and evils.

LAUDS PARTY
TO THE SKIES
This Afternoon in Taking Permanent Guardianship Of the
Great Convention, Senator Lodge Makes Ex-
tended Speech on the Greatness Of
the Republicans
DIV Associated Press. !


Chicago, June II. - What will
stand as one of the leading address
es of the republican national conven-
ton was delivered by Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge today on assuming the
permanent chairmanship of the con-
vention.
Senator Lodge spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the Convention:
81 thank you most sincerely for
the great honor you have done me in
choosing me to preside over your de-
liberations. For it is great honor
to be the presiding officer of the Re-
publican National Convention. l can
conceive of conventions have in
deed heard of conventions where the
honor of such a post as that now oc-
cupied by me. is dubious, and where,
if excitement is present, pleasure is
conspicuous by its absence. But to
be the presiding officer of a Repub-
lican convention is ever a high dis
tinction to which no man can be in
sensible. Gentlemen of the conven-
ton, again l thank you.
Il shall not delay or detain you
with many words. Your resolutions
will set forth the principles of the
party and declare the policies upon
which We shall ask for the support of
the people of the United States.
With fullness and with eloquence,
your temporary chairman has already
reviewed the history of the party has
given you account of what has been
done, and has set forth what we hope
and mean to do. My duty is merely
to aid you, so far as I can, in the Or
derly and prompt transaction of the
business which has brought us to-
gether. That business is moment
uous-nothing less than to name the
two. men who, speaking with the SIM
plicity of truth, will be the next pres
ident and vice-president of the United
States. In order to win for them,
and for our party, an assured as well
as a merited victory, we must defeat
our opponents, whose exclusion from
power is desired by the country and
