SUCCESSFUL SEASON ENDS.
Grace Carries Off Honors in Both
Batting and Fielding.

One of the most successful seasons of
the Sunday School Base Ball League
was brought to a close Friday evening
At meeting of the directors the remain
ing five games were called OFF, as the
winning or losing by any one of the six
teams would make no difference in the
standings.
This was the first season in this league
for the Grace aggregation and they COM
pletely outplayed their opponents and
captured the bunting in easy style. The
record of the team as whole and the in
dividual standings betters that of any of
the other five teams. They lead in bat
ting and fielding.
The games on the Active Lot of the
past season have been the most interest
ing exhibitions witnessed in the Sunday
School League for some time. Several
extra inning games were necessary, while
the scores of the majority of the games
have caused much comment by their
closeness.
Much credit is due the management of
the league for the way the games were
carried on The league has never before
had an umpire who went through the sea-
son with such a small number of protests
as did Jimmy Hughes AS an Jump
Jimmy is classed with the best in the
city.
The small number Of forfeited games
which have occurred since the opening of
the season and, the manner in which the
games were run off has been the cause
for the large attendance each evening.
In the post-season series the Grace team
will be made up of the same material as
that which was seen on Il league
grounds and Manager Mills says he will
do all in his power to carry away
honors.
The officers of the Sunday School
League are: President, Frank y. Car
penter: vice president, J. II. Mills; secre-
tary and treasurer, Z. S. Hantzmon;
James Y. Hughes. umpire, ana w. T..
Buckingham, official scorer.

Both teams lobbed continually. One

LOCAL BOY IN DEMAND.
Philadelphia Athletics Are Ate,

Efforts are being made by scouts of the

Donald. the big first baseman Of the Win
chester, Va, independent team. Manager
Connie Mack has had several of his rep
resentatives scouting through the several
towns of Virginia, where a number Of
good ball players are to be found, and 1t
is stated he has received glowing reports
of Cy. In fact, one Of the representatives
has been following the Winchester team
about on it's recent trip and has been try
ing to induce Mcdonald to sign up with
the Athletics. but SO far the local boy has
waved them aside.
Mcdonald who for four years covered
the initial sack for the Central High
School of this city and last year played
that position for the Georgetown Univer-
sity team, has for the past three sea-
sons played summer ball with the Win
chester team. He is big. strapping fell
low and can always be depended upon to
do something with the stick.
1t is stated the reason that the players
of the Winchester team are not SO eager
to sign contracts with big teams is that
they only play on an average of three
games a week and that they are receiving
salaries equal to those paid in the East
ern League.

PARIS, August 1.-Eleven Greeks. one
Italian and fifteen Americans who were
among the participants in the Olympic
games took part today in series of
contests at the Colonies grounds on the
outskirts of Paris. Twenty eight French
men, eight Of whom were in the Olympic
games, were the other competitors. The
meeting was arranged by the union of
French societies of athletic sports, which
invited English and other entrants, but
none of these accepted the invitation.
The Americans had not allowed the de-
mands of training to prevent them from
seeing something of Paris during the
three or four days of their sojourn here.
So they were not in their best form. AL
though the day was beautiful, the crowd
of spectators was not large. but big at
tendance is expected tomorrow.

ROUGH SEA PREVENTS RACE OF
THE MOTOR BOATS.

NEW YORK, August Half a gale
from the eastward that covered the sound
with white caps and sent an ugly sea
for small craft rolling across the en-
trance to Huntington bay was the cause
of much disappointment to the thousands
who had gathered today to witness the
international motor boat race. The COM
mittee. after several consultations, deem
ed 1t best to postpone the race until Mon
day, at $50 pm.
At anchor in various parts of the bay,
near the course. were the steam yachts
Vanadis. Nushka, Sunehine, Levanter.
Alisa Craig. Parthenia, Cactus II, Mao II
and the revenue cutter Mohawk, sent by
the government to keep the course clear.
At the committee headquarters on shore,
the Chateau des Beaux Arts. there were
at least 200 automobiles and the shore and
pier were thronged with persons eager
to see the race
The British boats, Wolseley-Siddeley
and the Daimler II. never left their an
chOraseS, but the shippers of each. and
also those of the American boats, Dixie
IL and L. s. A. were willing to go out and
race If ordered. The committee, after a
trial over the course in the steam yacht
Nushka, came ashore and made the state
marily for speed and their best speed
can only be shown in smooth water,
ii would not be fair to any of them to
send them out in such sea as was run
ming today with the additional danger of
swapping some of them.
To entertain those present, Capt. Bart
ley Pierce took the Dixie II out in the
smooth part of the bay and gave an ex-
hibition spin. The boats performance
created a most favorable impression.

they were hoarse.
The athletes reiterated the charges of
unfair tactics by the Englshmen during

that he would never compete i'm England

AFTER BOY WONDER.
Big Leaguers After Bedient, Who
Made Worlds Pitching Record.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August IA boy eighteen
years old holds the worlds strike-out
record. and several of the major league
managers are reported to be bidding for
his services.
The wonder. Hugh Bedient of Falconer,
n. Y, who while pitching for the Fall
coner semi-professional base ball team
in a game with the Cory, Pa. nine
struck out forty-two Cory batsmen in
twenty-three innings.
a marvellous feature of Bedient's per-
Torrance was his feat in the twenty
third inning. when, after his team had
scored two runs, he struck out the three
Cory players who faced him, giving his
team the victory by score of 3 to 1. He
allowed but six hits in the twenty-three
innings.
Bedient is eighteen years old, big and
muscular. In 1906, pitching for the Fall
coner High School team, he averaged six
teen strike-outs per game for twenty
games. In 1907 he pitched great ball for
jamestown. n. Y, Falconer and the Dry
docks. Buffalo semi-professional team.
He has done phenomenal work for Fall
cci:er all this season. Bedient has great
speed. good control, plenty of curves and
uses his head to advantage. He is q
fair hitter and base runner.
