Hurrah for the Millers, they have

to his credit.
Now for two from the Babies. They

drop one or two games.
Those Babies are getting rather
Chesty and will have to be taken over

in the footsteps of his brother, Burt,
but something went wrong again and
Willis lost the opportunity.
There is nothing gained by scrap
ping with the umpire. The Offending
player gets ordered out of the game,
thereby handicapping the team.
McCoombs made his initial appear

.MUMPS KNOCK
OUT St. PAULs
Nearly All the Players Have
Been Afflicted This
Season.

SIS. PAUL, MINI, July 25-Is the
st. Paul baseball club suffering from
Ia curse2
All season the team has been the
victim OF a mumps plague.
Every cure known to medical
science has been tried.
Monday. Ray Meehan, the secre-
tary of the club. became critically III
and was operated on at Milwaukee.
Lefty" Miller. the pitcher, arrived
home sick and 1t will be several days
and maybe couple of weeks before
he can go to work again.
Benny Myers, who was reported to
have been called to his home in ST.
Louis on account of the serious I'LL
ness of his mother, is also a victim
of the mumps.
The other two members of the
team are threatened with the same
trouble.
And 1t Is only ten days ago that
Frank Farris died from an operation
following severe attack of the NAL
ady.
If the trouble keeps on spreading
the st. Paul team will be wiped out
of existence.
Little Jack Dunleavy was the first
member of the st. Paul team to suf-
fer with the trouble.
When the team was In spring
training at Joplin, Mo-, Dunleavy
was taken Ill with the humps and
never got over them. His poor work
this season is said to- be due to them.
Dunleayy is now with the team
looking after the secretary's duties
while Meehan is confined to his homo
in Milwaukee.

"A LONG DRAWN
RACE ASSURED

TO be seen. When Jake failed "a
work in Chicago it was supposed that
he didn't care particularly about
pitching against his home folks. He
promised to report and go Into one
of the games abainst the Cardinals,
hut never showed up. McGraw has
an idea that Weimer wiz report at
the Polo grounds today or tomorrow,
but has received no word from the
twirler.
Weimer is badly needed right now
by the Giants stan. which Is hall
good and half bad. The ex-Red
twirler claims to have an agreement
with the Cincinnati club, made when
he Joined that team, Whereby any
time he was sold he was to get half
the money. It. may be that he is
trying to force some coin out OF Garry
Hermann, but If he is he has not
said anything about 1t to the New
York club.

Cosgrove turned his ankle in the
third inning going after McAvoy's hit
and several minutes were taken out
After little rubbing of the injured
member. Cosgrove resumed playing.
Gribben busted finger in the
ninth inning OF yesterdays game
when foul tip from HOuser's bat
struck one of his digits. McAleese
relieved him and finished the game.
The Reds will surely have a great
String OF young pitchers on hand next
spring. They have already signed
about dozen, the latest being Russell
Ford, OF Atlanta, in the Southern
league.
Otto Kreuger, until recently with
Kansas City. and once a Pirate play
er. is making good at Denver and
playing hlgh-class ball. His arm
was too weak for the American Asso-
citation.

league umpire, is in favor of the
double system. He works alone on
fewer occasions than any other men,

the Lake Shore league, has been Sc

MORE STICK POWER.

In any event, McGraw decided that
1t would be good thing to give him
change, and to make shift in the
outfield that would help out the bat
ting strength of the Giants. Sey-
mour has not been batting up to his
mark this year, and more power with
the stick was needed If the Giants
were to hold their own, and perhaps
increase their standing at the ex-
pense of Plttsburg and Chicago.
The addition of Mccormick to the
team certainly helped its batting, al
though it is very doubtful If Nc
Cormick ever will be the fielder that
Shannon was and is.

Drinking Hab.t

sometimes, yes, very often, brings
misery and misfortune into what was
once happy homes. And it's queer
that when once ''stung" they don't
seem to care how things so on at

diabolical drink when they THINK
they need it. Of course they only
THINK they need it, but the reader

SHOT WHILE HUNTING

Edward Taylor, the particles IL bird
shot giancing past the right eye and
narrowly missing that organ by a

been directed the slightest fraction

eyesight would undoubtedly have
been ruined for life. On Friday after
noon DR.. Schrander and Edward Tay-
Ior went to the section near the mis-
