Oh, woe is Connie Mack!
Just before the game yesterday, in

TO /. making it two out of three so
far, Manager Mack went into a long
disquisitiOn upon the manifold virtues
OF his new catcher, lap, as a ball
player. He has great arm, acute
accuracy, a good batting eye. a mitt

quOth Connie, rolling the words around
with a self-satisied air. as If the pen

Then Lapp lost the game!
Don't Be Hard On LaPp.
We would not be too hard on Lapp,
for he was the victim largely of the
daredevil base running OF our home
team. but he made two errors, one OF
which let a runner score from second.
and the other sent one to third, whence
he tailed on a sacrifice fly. On Friday
Lapp. in his first game in an Athletic
uniform. showed splendid possibilities
as backstop, and after he got started
yesterday he was not altogether bad;
but let's give thanks that he was on
color long enough to give Washington
those runs in the first and third innings.
The big feature was the sudden
springing of Walter Johnson to pitch
for Washington. He was after revenge
for the rapping the Athletics gave him
IN the first game on Friday when. al
though they did not beat him, treated
his delivery with scant courtesy. John

CantillOn a Bad One
Joe Cantillon is one Of the worst actors
in the circuit in the matter Of holding
back announcements Of his changes
His excess Of crafuness has acquired for
him a wide and influential range OF
newspaper enemies who never fail TO
take a crack al him. and sometimes
belitue the team when he visits their
cities.
Clarke Griffith was notorious for his
pettifogging attempts TO bamboozle the
newspapers OF somebody else by max

Jim McAleer is generally not so sure

How long will you continue TO work
petty swindle on the loyal ians and an
internal nuisance on the baseball re-
porters, by switching playsrs around
OF injecting new ones into the game
without notifying those important at
tendant adiuncts 10 the great national
game-press and public.
We are moved 10 this roar by the ut
terly childish and inexcusable action or
some Of the managers in t'.e American
League in nOuncing the batteries

matters Of direct concern to every
man, woman. and child In the ball yard.

Radical legislation on this subject

such a good fellow as Connie Mack falls

then the leaven OF the vicioUsness Of the
proceeding has gone so far that some
thing must be done, and the sooner the

Mack was asked yesterday by two
different reporters within ten minutes
before the game started whether his
lineup would be the same as on Friday,
and he distinctly stated it would. Yet

MYSTERY BACK OF
MURDER ATTEMPT
Especial to The sentinel.)

Cleveland, o., July 2S.-A bullet
wound just above the heart as the
result of an attempted murder is
slowly killing young man who is.
registered as Lewis Weber at the
hospital.
Back of the shooting is a mystery
which the police of Cleveland and
Cleveland Heights. fashionable SUBJ
urb where the shooting occurred,
have not been able to fathom.
The shooting occurred not far
from the Lena Zerch murder some
months ago, and, So far as is known,
under somewhat similar circumstan-
ces.
Weber was walking on the heights
with Miss Heston. Both the princi-
pals say Weber was shot by two men
while the couple were sitting on the
grass. One held a revolver in his
hand, and as he ran he fired. The
bullet struck the girls companion in
the arm and entered the body above
the heart. The two men disappeared
as quickly as they came.

COMPANY IS
WELL BALANCED

In nearly all large cities stock
companies have gained new lease
of life or to speak correctly the stock
company has gained a great deal in
public favor in the last few years and
they are quite the rage in many
places.
Manager j. B. Boyer of the Audi
torium has had the courage of his
convictions-that genuinely good
stock company would be a paying
proposition in this city, and he there
fore gathered together the best tall
ent available and for the past week
or more the members of the stock
company have been rehearsing for
their opening here.
Last night the opening took place,
the presentation being that piece of
western drama, which is old but al
ways attractive-"My Partners"
The Auditorium was well filled
for the opening night, and the COM
pany, as well as Manager Boyer. may
well feel complimented by the splen-
did house, as the weather was very
warm and it took considerable nerve
to go and hear play under the pre-
vailing conditions.
balanced. They lack to certain ex-
tent familiarity with each other in
their parts. but this will be overcome
as they play longer together.
The plot of the play is so well
known that it hardly needs any re-
view whatever. 1t is breezy, beng
on the McKee-Rankin order of plays.
Tonight the same play will be re-
peated, and it is expected that the
stock company will make even a bet
ter showing than they did last night.
1t is to be hoped that the shows
will reach popular approval. as a
regular stock company in this city
in the summer season will make life
worth more like living.
