Ty probably knows what to do. He
played the game and sacrificed the
pleasure of coming to Newark and adj
vanced himself in the estimation of all
newlyweds. -
Tommy Leach has a badly sprained
ankle. Dreyfuss would have missed the
small lad this season. especially because
his team Is a %pennant contender.
Jack Dunn and Ned Hanlon are both
mentioned as probable managers of the
Highlanders. When the proper time
comes Mr.. Farrell will probably appoint
his manager.
Ralph Glaze should surely be able
to hold his own in the big leagues. He
certainly has easy sailing in the
Eastern.
In Buffalo the scribes believe that
S~tallings and his Tigers are the one
best bet. They certainly will show or
place.
Tom Hughes has, temporarily at least,
made a o o batsman out of Jimmy
Murray, of Buffalo. Looks strsnge to
see a man sent to the plate to bat for
the Buffalo outfielder.
Jack Hayden is playing a better game
for indianapolis than he did in the East
ern League last year.
Arthur Irwin is responsible for send
ing Jimmy O'Rourke to the Highlander
camp.
Here are a few Of New York State
League players who are in the Ma
tional: Dummy Taylor. Wiltse, Ames,

New Punches and Queer Shifts
Have Taken Place of
Old Tricks.
BY OLD SPORT

Take a Retrospective glance down the
path Of pugdom, and what Is n re-
suit? Did it ever strike those men
who love to see a good fight or to read
Of 1t that the boxing game has taken
on about 80 per cent. of new inven-
tons since the day Jim Corbett and
John L. Sullivan fought for the title?
Well It has. The fighting game has
advanced since then just as fast as cleo
tricity and gas have overrun the candle
market. Every year the game Is in
troduced to ONE new punching stunt.
Some new fighter comes into the vista
Of the fighting game and he expose a
new shift or a blow that his fighting
predecessors never brought to the sur
face.
And why shouldn't this fighting game
advance in the same stride? It Is the
Oldest of sports. Away back in the
days when Roman emperors carried
the idea that they were all powerful
and that they never would depart this
life, the fighting game was in vogue.
OF course 1t was very crude fighting.
But the same spirit which dominated
these Romans Is the same spirit which
every fighter inhales as soon as he
enters the game. 1t is human nature
to try to get ahead of the fellow
whom you think is stopping your prog
ress. To do this some men adopt foul
means, but the. fighting game is so
ruled that aspirants with the padded
mitts generally fight fair and adopt
fair means to win.
In the olden days of American fight
ers tricks were resorted to by fighters
ia win a hattie. the most cow
ardly one ever pulled off was where
one fighter covered his glove with mus
tard oil, and when the opportunity was

at hand showed these oil-soaked gloves
into the other fighters eyes. The re-
suit was the poor victim of this trick
was made blind. This trick did not
gain favor with the men who PAID TO
see the fight, and It has gone by the
boards. Another trick and just as das-
tardly, was dumping dope into the otner
fellows drinking water. Right here /
was told the other day by a fighter who
Is working in New York that this trick
still stays In the game and that an
outsider who goes into some of these
New York clubs run great risks from
men who will stoop to doctor a lighters
drinking water to prevent him beating
some local favorite.
II this Is true such men should be
shot out of every decent clubhouse In
the country. Such tricks are no new
inventions. They come from h old
school where men fought on h SOD
for a purse and where the losing Il
was afraid of their man losing all the
money. Why this last trick should be
resurrected Is a mystery to every fair
minded fight an.
The old school had some good tricks.
and the n which I recall now Win
do for the present. When a fighters
seconds were somewhat leary of their
nan winning 1t used to be the custom
to plaster the fighters face up with .
bit of court plaster. This was done to
lead his opponent to think that there
was something wrong with this par
ticular spot. The other fellow, nine
times out of ten, would keep pegging
away at the supposed wound.
This gave the plastered fighter a
chance to go after the other fellow.
He knew where his opponent was aim
ing for. n all he had to do was to
care for that and he had chances to
cop the other fellow. This old trick has
won many a battle, but it Is never used
any more.
Today, with the advancement OF time,
pugilism has taken rapid strides. It Is
more scientific and tricks are seldom
resorted to to win a battle.

CLUB FOREEITS FRANCHISE.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 25.-
President r. r. Carson, of the Central
Baseball League. following a confer
ence here last night with Phil Arnold,
owner of the Grand Rapids team, de-
clared hat Mr.. Arnold had forfeited
the Grand Rapids franchise by his
failure to pay the salaries due his
players on August 10. This is the
second time this year that this same
condition has arisen. The league will
guarantee the salaries of the players
and assume control of the team until
disposed of to other parties.

That IL the Answer.
So to my friend who wrote asking me
the question above / have My this 10
say in reply: Colleges are good places
for young men to gain inside knowleoge
of clean sports. but to be a baseoaii
player you don't have to be a college
bred chap. Neither do you have to be
born with a golden spoon In your fist.
You don't have to be a kid that is
wrapped in silks and satins and have
downy beds to o on. Not a bit
of it. The biggest mischief-maker in
the land can be a ball player II he
wants to and has a liking for the
game. Colleges send forth but few
Wagners, or Donlins. There are few
Mahlinges who come from college into
the professional ranks. They are so
few, In fact, that you can count them
and not go to sleep over It, either. 1t
is the only game where every young
mai has an wen chance to make good
that and playing tag. You don't have
to have a rich dad or an Overlooking
ma to become a ball player. 1t is all
up to the boy or young man. If he Is
proficient he cannot hide his ability un-
der a hogshead. He will be found out
sometime, and then he has a chance to
make good.
Open-Lot Players.
Any one who is interested In this
subject to follow me can sit down and
recall the men of old who made this
national game what it Is. And IL you,
memory is defective you don't have &c
go back any further thar to recall the
commencement of the mar who today
is leading the National League in base

SHARPE LEADS EASTERN
in POINT OF BINGLES

1t has been said repeatedly all over
the circuit hat a player who can hit
.275 with Newark, could produce an
average close to 300 in any other city
In the league. This, because of the on
ditions at the Newark grounds, which
seriously hamper the local players. OF
course, other teams play here. but they
are here for only twenty games,
whereas the Tigers are compelled to
play seventy games on the local
grounds.
Following is a list of the players who
ave mad 100 hits or more SO far this
season:

The New York American League team
released AL Orth Internationally yes
terday. Orth probably will acquire an
interest in the club in Lynchburg. Va,
where he comes from, and will act as
manager.
Jack Dunn would probably have a
larger lead in the Eastern League race
had he recalled Pitcher Schmidt from
Holyoke earlier. Schmidt is a "side
kick" Of Hambacher, h Bloomfield
boy, now with Holyoke.
Herman Schaefer is n Of the
headiest base runner in the American
League.
Fred Clarke has a habit Of taking
himself out of a game when a hit Is
required. Does Clarke imagine that he
is a weakling with the willow?
Tommy Mccarthy has been under
going treatment from Bonesetter Reese
at Youngstown, Ohio, and expects that
his injured arm will come along all
right.
Newark people seem to have forgotten
that Matty Mcintyre is a former Local
player. Not a hand for Matte as he
strobe to the dish.
1t is good betting that the Broncos
make the local men go the limit to win,
1t was ever thus. A cellar aggregation
always makes it interesting for a first
division team.

won the American Horse Breeders
Futurity for trotting foals Of 1906, the
feature race of the opening day Of the
Grand Circuit meeting at Ready1lle
race track, and her second heat, In
2:15%, lowered the previous C for
the stake of FIT, made last year by
The Leading Lady. She was far su-
perior in speed to the rest in tho field
of starters, Belvasia and Czarfne Bin
gen barely escaping the distance in the
final heat.
Lou Mcdonald was very successful In
the three other events on h card yes
terday, winning easily, with Leslie
Waterman, the 2:1o pace, though In a
couple of heats he drew the finish close
with Arrow. Ward, driven by Nc
Donald, was a, handy winner OF two
heats in the 2:21 trot, but in the third
was nipped by Kidd McGregor right at
the wire. McDonald's third win was
the Horse Breeder Futurity for three
year-old PAGERS, with Master McKer-
ron. 1t was simply a big jog for the
son of John A. McKerron, 1t being only
in the generosity of Mcdonald that he
didn't distance the other starters.
The city is fast filing with visitors

Wins First Prize.

Along in May the Dupont
Powder Company offered three
prizes of $50, $40 and S2s to their
statesmen for the best new use for
powder. Geo. Switzerland of
this city is a salesman for the
company and he wanted one OF
those prizes. He came to us for
an idea, and not having one of
our own, we recommended that
he suggest the Governor Craw-
ford plan of blowing up the farm
land underneath, so as to form
reservoirs for the surplus water,
and also for the further purpose
of breaking up the hard pan.
Mr.. Switzerland did this and
has received a letter from the
company notifying him that he
had been awarded the first prize.
Accompanying the notification
was the company's check for $50.
And now Switzerland feels
quite important.

THAT WHEAT STORY.
More Kbouf That Yield OF
222 Bushels Per Acre.

Much has been said about the
story recently printed, wherein
it. was claimed that a certain
kind of wheat in Alaska yielded
222 bushels per acre. The follow
ing is from the National Farmer
and Stock Grower, published at
St. Louis, Mo:
His name is Abraham Adams
of Juliaetta, Idaho.
He went to Alaska in search OF
gold and he discovered that
which is worth more than gold to
himself and to his fellow-men.
There farming is limited to q
