Igoe in the New York American has this to say of Jimmy Britt:

James, let the truth De known. has renounced his profes- sion and has taken to the pastime oi plain globe trotting. l asked James if he were in earnest about never again taking up the five-ouneers, and he baked. Yes, sir, James Edward coiled up and watered like goose He h'mmed and haw'd. .-.---

THE GIRL PITCHER.
Holding Her Own and Often BeatiEg
 Many of the Men.

Rogersviile, O., June 30.-This little town lays claim to-day to dis tinction greater than that of Utica, N. Y.
 Utica boasts that it is the home of vice presidential candidate. Rogers vile is the home of Alta Weiss, the girl baseball pitcher, whose reputa- tion as wonder of the national game is spreading rapidly.
 Alta is eighteen years old. She wears boomers, spiked shoes and a regulation mans glove.
 Miss Weiss pitches for team of men players called the Weiss All Stars" The team halls from Yer million. Ohio, town on the shore of Lake Erie. She is with that team because Charles Heidloff, its mana ger, heard of her remarkable ability and engaged her as drawing card.
 All last season Miss Weiss pitched for the Vermillion team against strong amateur and emi-profession- al clubs all over the state, and did great work. She won nearly all her games, and pitched better ball right along than the men who opposed her. This year she bids fair to do still better work. She has gained in weight and is much stronger and heavier than last season.
 Miss Weiss is natural born base ball player" as her family expresses it She has played base ball with the boys ever since she was big enough to throw a ball. Before Heidloff took her on the road with his team she acquired reputation as pitcher in school games in this part of the state. She has only fair speed, but good curve. Her strongest point is almost perfect con trol.

Mr.. Straus said that levy of $500
