GALA TIME IN
 OYSTER BAY TODAY.
President Extends Glad Hand
 to His MeIghbors.

Oyster Bay. N. T.. Sept H.--Natives of this village are happy today, for 1t Is to be the day of all days for Oyster Bay. Every person in the village. be he exalted In station or the most low ly, has been invited to attend a recep- ton today at President Roosevelt's B mansion on Sagamore Hill. President and Mrs. Roosevelt will greet the townspeople, and light refreshments will be served.
 It Is four years since anything like this has happened In Oyster Bay, and when 1t became known that President Roosevelt intended to give reception to his neighbors and friends the news spread quickly, and soon every one was talking about the affair and mak- ing preparations. Four years ago Mir. Roosevelt invited the townspeople to reception at Sagamore Hill, and on that occasion huge punch bowl kept ever filled stood where all could con veniently reach 1t, and each of the 2,000 or more people who attended the reception was permitted to keep the punch glasses as souvenirs.
 Unfortunately. on that occasion a large number of persons who did not reside in oyster Bay and who had no claim upon Mir Roosevelt's hospitality mixed with the natives and attended the reception. The throng was so great that some of the natives were kept in the background. President Roosevelt has made preparations to prevent the same thing happening to- day, and he has asked the ministers of the different congregations to extend for him his invitation to the people.
 This being President Roosevelt's last year in office, he wishes to renew old acquaintances, for during the last few years he has been compelled by press of business to shut himself off to a great extent from his friends and neighbors at Oyster Bay.
 Every available carriage in the viii lage has been hired to take the Oyster Bay folk to Sagamore Hill. As only townspeople are permitted to attend the reception, 1t is estimated that not more than 1000 or 1,200 people are present
 In the way of entertainment the president has secured the services of the German Saengerbund of Hicks vile, N. Y., and this locally famous group of singers is stationed on the veranda of the presidents mansion to sing all during the reception The pres ident and Mrs. Roosevelt will receive the visitors, and every one present will have the privilege of shaking their hands.

LAST CHAMPION HOME.
Martin J. Sheridan Back From Discus
 Victories in Olymuiad,

Martin J. Sheridan of the Irish A. A. C., winner of both discus throwing events at the Olympic games, reached New York yesterday on the Cunard liner Etruria. He was the very last of the American team to get home. Owing to a bit of misunderstand- ing about the arrival of the vessel there was nobody down the bay to meet Martin, but at the dock his friends were there and they whooped and hurrooed as he stepped ashore. He was taken afterward to the Irish club house, where he told about all the foul play dealt out to the Ameri- cans. Sheridan could not return with the bulk of the team as he had a lit- tie private business to attend to and besides his father was unwell at his home in the county of Mayo, Ireland.
 While in Ireland Martin competed several times, one contest in particu- lar being against Tom Kiely, the all around champion of Ireland. The re- suit was draw, as each man won two events. apiece. the deciding one was declaerd a foul. While pole
 
 at a height of II feet inches Sheridan hurt the muscles of his left leg, and he said he was afraid he would not be able to com pete in the A. A. U. championships next Saturday. f
 While the ship was coming up the bay the discus thrower told the news paper men some things about the do- Ings of the English officials. Almost everything he said has been publish ed before. Dorando was doped. he said, and 1t was a shame to let him even stand on his legs toward the finish. When asked if Sheridan him ,elf noticed any foul play in his events he answered that he could not 'ay he did.

THE PUGILlSTS
THE KID WOULD
 GET BACK AGAIN
Mccoy in Training For Short Bouts
 Burns and Johnson Are . Matched.

Kid Mccoy would like to don the gloves again aud swap wallops with the topnotchers. He means to do It., too. if he can.
 Mccoy has begun t''aining at Jack Cooper's in West Forty-seventh street, and at the end of two weeks If he finds that he can still hit the old time stride, New York sportsmen will soon see the peerless boxer in ac- tion again, prepared to take any of 'em on.
 For twenty minutes yesterday he played bandball z: light liGg, speed, followed this by rope-skipping stunt and then punched the bag for quarter of an hour. It was at the lat ter work of course that Mccoy dis played the qualities that made him at one timo almost invincible in the ring. Warming up to his work Mo Coy walloped the leather sphere with the speed and precision and strength of his palmy days. Quick as a flash on his feet, he darted about pepper ing the bag with stinging rights and lefts, measuring distance with the eye of a past master, breathing with out apparent effort and displaying all the earmarks of finished athlete. Any man who can go through all the stunts Mccoy did yesterday and not blow up" is far from being any where near all in.
 If he finds that he cannot get back into trim enabling him to box again in the ring Mccoy Is planning to do monologue stunt on the stage.

WARE PRESSES iMERIDEN.
Lcagners Find It Necessary to Sub.
 stitute Halligan for Mansfield.

"spud'' Murphy's Connecticut leaguers got the better of Ware in
 that town yesterday, z to 5, but Hal-' ligan had to be substituted for Mans field in order to save the game Twombly and Meehan had an off day in the field and their errors helped Meriden. A bad decision on Hol- land at the plate in the third einn- ing hurt Ware. Holland slid under Casey and was declared safe, but later the umpire changed his decis- ion. An amusing feature of the game was the scoring by Corcoran of Wares run in the fifth. He had made long drive for two bases and when Lucia smashed over Barbour's head he started for the plates Af- ter passing third he fell flat twice, but as Wade threw 10 feet over Ca- sey's head he succeeded in making the run. Wares two runs in the second were the result of passes to Corcoran and Parray and drive by Dumphousse past Robargef for two bases.

-THE..DIAMoND.
UNRULY MIKE MAY HURT THE GAME
Donlin Abused the Umpire and Was Fired and He May Be !, Suspended.

New York, Sept 17.---The St Louis Cardinals were routed by, the. Giants again yesterday < up ~ at the. Polo grounds, 6-2. That was balm to the hearts of 10000 fans who witnessed the game, but they wondered what would happen to, Mike sDenlin as-the result of his run inawlth Umpire O'Day. Suspension during the Pi- rates series? O,Day is not the man to pass by lightly "a a4serious ;infraction' of discipline and Mike certainly did offend. He not only offended, but he made spectacle of himself. ', He was canned from the game, ,echased stoI the clubhouse, and its dolIars9to dough :, nuts he hasn't heard the end sof it yet. 5 uy k.
 Donlin deliberately jeopardized. the chances of the < Giants winning the pennant. This he did ip&the face of the protests, .pl eadings and comma nds of Manager McGraw and Roger Bres- nahan. EIf he is suspended he will have noAone ~to ;rbiame eebuts.himseR. ( And If he Is out of the game during the Pirates series and disaster over- takes the Giants during that series, Donlin will have a hard time squar- ing himself with half million fans and enthusiasts In New York.
 The row came about in the seventh inning when O'Day called Donlin out at first base. It may have been a close decision, but O'Day was not the only person who thought Donlin was thrown out. Mike was furious and rushed toward O'Day believing like a maddened bull. As he continued to argue he.grew even more furious and O'DayF. very properly benched him. Still Mike was not satisfied and kept up his harangue. sMcGraw and Bres-. nahan tried their best to pacify him without result and ODay finally or dered him off the field entirely.
 It was bad piece of work on Don- lin's part and he, with the fans of New York, may regret 1t. At this moment his services to the team are almost invaluable and he had no rightEto risk suspension simply to get a grouch out of his system. The score. xl

FATE OF A STAGE PRODIGY.
Master Betty, Who It Appears Over.
 stayed His Welcome.


 It may interest readers of the Weekly Mail to know that rather over hundred years ago-in 1907 to be precise-the country was worshiping at the shrine of 12- year-oid prodigy, a boy actor-the juvenile Henry Irving of his times. While at the height of his fame and popularity this infantile marvel wis., ited among other places Glasgow and Edinburgh, and in both of these towns he is said to have created a hitherto undreamt of sensation.
 The wonderful youngsters name and he was Irish to the back bone. His histrionic capabilities were evil dently born with him, for it is re- corded that when at the age of his father treated him to his first visit to the theater young Betty at the conclusion of the play solemnly in- formed his parent that he had de- cided to be an actor himself.
 How the youngster subsequently came to get footing on the stage is not known, but in the month of August, 1903, We find him making his first appearance, performing the leading part in popular drama at a Belfast theater. He leaped at one bound into the very forefront of popularity, and it is said that on one occasion when he turned i'll the whole nation awaited with feverish anxiety the different bulletins which were regularly issued to tell of young Betty's condition.
 The boys first appearance in Glasgow, which happened in May, 1904, created unparalleled enthu- siasm in the city during the several nights he performed in the now de- funct Dunlop street theater. The enormous crowds that flocked to see the wonderful boy were unpreeedent- ed in the theatrical history of St Mungo, and hundreds, it is said, were nightly injured in the great crush and desperate struggle for ad~ mission to the theater. In Edin. burgh, where the boy actor after- ward appeared, the same enormous crowds rushed to see him. To quote from one of the local papers criticism, he "set the town in al flame" His subsequent appear anee at the world famous Drury Lane completed the prodigy's tri, umph, for it was not long before the metropolis also succumbed to young Betty's magnetic acting.
 But Master Betty's stage success was comparatively short ~lived. In the course of few years he-or his | parents-compiled an immense for tune, and with the wealth thus | speedily accumulated the young ac- | tor was given the chance of a first | class education. When out of hia i teens the glamour Of the footlights again appeared to have appealed to him, and he again made bid to re- gain his position as popular idol. By this time. however. the people 1ad quite forgotten their former nero. and young Betty had to rest content with only a very ordinar, legree of success. He had. so to peak. overstayed his welcome.- Glasgow Mail

Twenty-Five men have already re- ported for practice at Holy Cross,

 four or i've days. but something
 harder has been switched in in the
 way of the tackling dummy. Of course the work Is only preliminary so far. as the men are not in trim for anything rough Coach Larkin believes that two fast set of backs will be developed, but the material for the line appears green and soft SO far. Among the best of the new men are Mahoney of Somerville high. crack fullback: Joy of South Boston, end;. Freitsch. 1s0-pound lineman from Rochester; Mahoney of Lewiston.
