GIANTS FAVORED BY THE
 REMAINING SCHEDULE

Those Cubs have little the ad- vantage in the National League until their last trip East. which begins on September 18th. Chances people have seven more games at home and two on the road before beginning the last road trip. St. Louis plays three more games in Chicago this week. the Cubs playing in Pittsburg Friday and Saturday. The Pirates play in Chi- cago next Sunday. The Reds play a double-header in Chicago Monday and one game Tuesday of next week. St. Louis playing another game in Chi- cago Wednesday. After this however. the Cubs have only one more game at twenty on the road.
 Beginning Thursday. Sept. 10th they have four straight games in St. Louis after which the Eastern trip of twelve games begins. The last game of the Eastern trip Is in Brooklyn on Sep aerpber 26th. the Cubs playing in Gin cinnatI on September 29th. 30th, Co., &ober 1st and 3rd. then they go home, Pittsburg closing the season in Chi cngo on October 4th.
 Pittsburg has four more on the road and eight at nome before begin ming the last trip East. The Giants have nine on the road before the last Western trip East begins. They have nineteen more games at the Polo grounds and twelve more altogether on the road. Looks like an advantaEe for MeGraw and Go.

FISHER GOT
 MAD AND WON Ire at Umpire Aroused
 His Mettle. SEA GULLS GET THE GAME Reagan Threw Wild and Fisher
 Scored. Wheeler Wanted "The Man With the Brown Hat Arrested But Police
 man Could Not Find

Mobile, Aug. s1.-(speciaL)-It was all done In the sixth. Lively made Fisher a present of the initial bag. Thornton sacrificed him to second and he came home on Bensin's drive to right field.
 Really he should not have done so despite what the official scorers may say. Fishers tally is due entirely to the fact that Reagan did not seem to know just where the plate was when he returned Benson's hit.
 That was one. Benson. who had taken full advantage of the bad throw ing was safe at second. and he made S prssy Sa. rsoSna sss as to has tbss 6ssn hit brought him home in a canter. Responsibility for the game going to the Sea Gulls really lies with Um- that sabrie scored in the ffth and his tally would have tied the score. Wheel CT decided that he vas out at the plate and long argument between him and to pitch for the sixth inning. He was mad clean through and the way that he sent the ball over the plate was evidence enough of this. Again when the inning there was look of determt- nation on his face that scared Lively and therefore Fisher got his base on balls. which helped materially in the
 Montgomery scored the first and only run in the fourth inning. It was well earned run. Hopkins started the game with 2 two-basger and Grem. o same kind that he put out into left field. This was their only chance. Fishers mad lasted through the rest of the game and hsagay.ss .sh them h,m attae attae
 There were a number of sensational plays during the game. In fact It was one of the fastest that has been played on the local diamond this season. Pope was robbed of a hit in the fifth by startling catch made by Benson and another catch that called for applause of a hard drive to center by Reagan.
 Who is the man with the brown hat? This is the question uppermost tonight with the baseball fans, put n9 this way: Umpire Wheeler got mad at the roasting he received from the peo- pie in the grand stand at todays game. Long about the ending of the eighth, he decided that the remarks of cer- tain individual in the grand stand were past endurance. He called the game. summoned a police officer to whom he said: "Do you see that man with the brown. hat who is smoking a cigarg The policeman acknowledged that he did. "Arrest that fellow and have him removed from the grounds" said is Wnee!Ss; !.T; anu .,i 1" O-
 The policeman did his best. Tile went from the grounls to the grano stand. He searched for the man with the brown hat, but there had been about seventeen hats changed hands, or rather heads, from the time that the umpire spoke until the officer of the law arrived on the scene and 1t was extremely difficult for him to find the cuIprit. He didn't and that is where the langh can1e h.
 Wheeler said the man used most in- sulting language to him and that he had gone beyond the limit of his abuse. The score:

The result of the league directors action in giving that forfeited Nash vile game to Montgomery recalls a similar case in 1904. The Montgomery team at that time was playing in Nash vile when one of the Montgomery players went on the field in a uniform that was not regulation. the umpire forfeiting the game to Nashville. The rules were that the Montgomery club should be fined $100 and lose their share of the gate receipts for that game. Bill Stickney had already set tied with the Nashville secretary and refused to give up his share of the receipts. On the next day Nashville held out the receipts, Montgomery not getting anything. On the next visit of the Nashville club to Montgomery Stickney held out the Nashville share of the gate receipts.
 When the matter came up at the meeting of the league directors the ruling was that the Montgomery cub should not only pay the $100 fine but that 1t should return to Nashville

RECEIVES ATHLETES
RETURNING VICTORS VISIT PRESI-
 DENT ROOSEVELT.
The President Shook Hands With Each Member uf The American Team And Made Them
 An Address.

oyster Bay, N. r., Aug. s1.-With gun from the local yacht club boom- ing a rousing welcome, the American Olympic team victors in the recent events in London, steamed Into the waters of Oyster Bay today for their visit to President Roosevelt.
 When they left their boat and reached the top of Sagamore Hill, MT. Roosevelt was on his broad veranda where he had been scanning them eagerly for several minutes as they approached, two abreast, whistling, "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
 James E. Sullivan. of the American Commission, was first to be received by the President. With the President were Mrs. Roosevelt and their son Ker- nit, Commissioner Sullivan acted as master of ceremonies, presenting each one of his brawny charges in turn. The President grasped each one by the hand and to each he spoke few words of greeting and commendation.
 John J. Hayes, the Marathon hero, had the distinction of being the first to be presented,
 q am proud of you" said the Pres ident to him as he gave him a vigorous handshake. Your feat was marvel ous. You won a great race and am glad of II"
 Before Hayes had realized how warm was the Presidents greeting. the Pres ident had swung him around and turned him over to Mrs. Roosevelt and she and Kermit then engaged him in conversation. Melvin Sheppard next came up. The winner of the 1.500 metre race beamed all over when the President assured him that 1t was "bully" victory which he and the boys had won in London.
 TeWina, the Indian who came in ninth in the Marthon race. pleased the President immensely.
 q am glad indeed" he said to him, that a real original American Indian competed for America and represented the country abroad. It was fine showing that you maie.'
 So it was with each and every one of the team that had made the trip, and when the last man had been grasped by the hand and his heart cheered by the Presidents words and he had passed into the dining room and partaken of refreshments. Mir. Roosevelt followed and then had to listen to some cheers for himself
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-09-01

Some one proposed three cheers Tor The greatest President of the United States ever had-Theodore Roosevelt" and everybody responded.
 Kermit Roosevelt confirmed a state- ment that never before had the house on Sagamore Hill resoundeJ with such a volume of sound. MT. Roosevelt checked an effort to repeat the cheers and addressed the athletes as follows:
 "Gentlemen:I just want to say one word of congratulatiou to you. am sure you feel that every one in to speak in hyperbole, however. but think it is the literal truth, Mir Sul- livan, to say that the feat that this team has performed has never been duplicated Tn the history of athletics. I think as the biggest feat that has ever been performed by any team of any nation and I congratulate all of you There is not man on the team who does not deserve his share in the total credit. It is not only the man who won the first, but is every man on the team who did his duty, as they all did, who deserve his share of the credit. congratulate you all and I thank you all. want to say MT Sullivan, a word of special thanks and acknowledgement to you. Without you we could never have gotten to- gether and sent over such a team and our gratitude, gentlemen. is due, not to those who were so glad to see you come back victorious, we have plenty or those, but to those who in any wa contributed to send you abroad in such shape that you would be victors. I think I could come pretty near pass ing competitive examination on the records and feats of you.
 Now that We are here we must not forget how proud we are of the Ameri can rifle and revolver men. You know I believe in straight shooting for the one"
 MT. Roosevelt sat with Mir. SuI. livan in the dining room during inc rest of the visit and appeared to he greatly interested in the first hand reports which MT. Sullivan was able to give him of the great contest in London. Some of the talk was confl- dential and MT. Sullivan would not disclose all that the President said or all the Inquiries that he made of the known. expressed to Mir. Sullivan great pleasure over the overwhelming vic- tory of the American teams over the teams of all other competing nations and then added:
 Tt was infinitely better to beat them on their own grounds than if they had come over here"
 John J Flanagan. the weight throw CT. and Melvin Sheppard. the runner, presented the President with their medals. MT. Roosevelt protested that he could not accept but 1t was explain

share of the gate receipts of the first game in Nashville and the game in Montgomery.
 Now when the report of the forfeit ed game in Montgomery on the 27th of last June was sent to Judge Kav- anaugh he not only upheld Umpire Fitzsimmons but ruled that the Nash vile club be fined $500.
 The rules having increased the fine for forfeited games $200. At the meet ing of the directors Sunday President Kavanaughs action was upheld with the exception that the fine of $500 against Nashville club not to be en- forced.
 The cases of 1904 and 1908 are sirni- lar in every respect and yesterday President Chambers wrote to Judge Kavanaugh to find out why it was that Montgomery was made to pay a fine in 1904 and Nashville be let off without fine in 1908.
 It's a pretty nice point and looks as if 1t was only another case where Montgomery got the hot end of things in this league.
