LONDON, July 8.-All of the Amer

who want practise in the stadium, are
now moved to the Hotel Metropole at
Brighton. The hotel is situated right

necessary for the athletes to pay ad-
mission fees for the ladies accompany

advised Manager, Carney today. Pre-

son to return, and 1t is expected that

port owed Gleason $40 from last sea
son. and this, according to Carpenter,
makes the player a free agent, and he

signed with Trenton he will now re-
main here. Third Baseman Strobel has
been let out, as have Pitchers Wolters

President Powers, of the Eastern
League. wants Frank McTague, of
THE EVENING STAR reportorial
staff. to give up the pencil and take
up the indicator in the Eastern League.
Mac" is considering the lattering
offer made by President Powers. who is
well pleased with the ability shown
by the local boy in that tough gam at
Jersey City yesterday.
Powers is up against 1t for good UNI
pires this year Men he thought were
tried and efficient have proven failures,
and at this late date he Is trying to
fill In with good men. Donnelly, of
Providence, is a bigger frost than most
of the men he let go, so a proposition
was made to the Newark boy.
Yesterday President Powers tele-
phoned McTague to work the Jersey
City-Baltimore game. If the president
of the league had the game made to
order for trying the nerve of an UNI
pire he could not have done better
yesterday.
That struggle, which went overtime
and where a bum decision might have
cost either team the game, showed that
Umpire McTague is made of the right
stuff. He has excellent Judgment on
balls and strikes, and through there
was several close base decisions, the
recruit got them all right.
After the game President Powers
complimented the young umpire on his
work and handed him a very fattering
contract to sign. For h present the
pencil-pusher finds himself with a
slight leaning toward the lead, but will
work the present series at Jersey City
for the head of the Eastern League.
Jack Dunn, manager of the Orioles,
was delighted at Umpire McTague's
work. Gene McGann said It was a well
come relief.

And II Related to the Nelson
Cans Affair the Other
Day.
BY OLD SPORT.

This Is the season of the yea when
there isn't much doing In the sport
ing line. Is far as the pug game is
concerned. Swelterine weather never
was the puss' haymaking season when
the big shops were allowed to run full
blast. But since the law stopped these
places from working overtime and the
winter nights were rendered less at
tractive to the gents who loved to sit
alongside of the padded ropes, smoke
their good cigars and watch two giants
or feathers, as the case might be,
small clubs have sprouted up, and
these are trying to fiji the bill by run
ming these warm nights. Nothing doing
much, at that.
The Cans Nelson was the biggest at
fair pulled off this summer And say,
while you are at this. did you ever see
before where a big fight was pulled off
that all interest In 1t died away within
such a short period? You don't zee
any ng-winded articles of Nelson or
Of Cans telling how it happened, Both
have retired to think their little trick
over.
A certain graduate from Princeton
college, a young man who loves ath-
letics and who has no Idea that a
fighter or a wrestler would do any
thing crooked. asked me this question
the other day:
Say" said he. II heard you once say
that fighters never came back. How
do you explain Nelson's coming back?"
I looked at the Princetonian and re-
piled: HE didn't come back"
He looked at ME for a m and
then said. Lets go and have q
cigar" He seemed to grasp my mean
Ing, and I didn't care to go into de-
tails and tell how things have been
fixed up between fighters. I didn't
want to tell him that amateur athletes
were a mythical thing, when the major
number of them was taken into consid-

to the fact that in the horsc-racing
world horses were known to be pulled

I didn't want to explain to him that
Cans made a confession Of crookedness
before, and that other fighters had
lone the same thing.
I didn't tell him of this because I
couldn't prove 1t. Men swear to things
