rhapsody and happiness.
Word has already been received
from the costumers that the CO.'S
tunes have been sent. They were
made especially for the play by
Chicago firm. Special scenery, rep
resenting the porch of a marble pal
ace is being built for the occasion,
and the play promises to be one Of
the best ever staged by the High
school. Miss Butler, who has the
direct management of the play un-
der charge and who had charge of
the three previous plays given by
the school, deserves special credit
for her untiring efforts to make the
play all that a purely local play can
be.
Tickets are on sale by students Of
the school. The prices are rs, so
and 25 cents. Those holding tickets
can get them reserved Monday at

HUGHES PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER

1t is now practically settled that
Taft will be the nominee of the re-
publican party at the national con-
vention which convens in Chicago
next month. Several favorite sons
may receive complimentary ballot,
but Taft's support is strong enough
tn predict his nomination, which
will In turn be made unanimous, for
there is nothing but spirited rivalry
in the contest, and no sore spots to
be rubbed out or warning factions to
be propitiated.
1t must also be conceded that next
tn Taft the race made by Hughes
has attracted the most attention,
and the governor of the Empire
States has drawn to himself a large
personal following Of men who, in
their estimate Of the man and his
work, are convinced that he Is excel
lent presidential timber.
The fight that Gov. Hughes has
made in New York and the fight
he is still making is one that COM
mends him to the people. This was
amply shown in his winning of the
doubtful district of Niagara against
money and factional machinery by
the force of his own personality. He
took the field insisting on being
governor rather than playing for
the presidency. He has the conf
dence of the business men. and he
has the confidence of the people, and
no entangling alliances. He Is New
York's favorite son and is steering
HIS course in such way that he
looms on the political horizon as a
presidential possibility worthy OF
being carefully considered.

REISLING GOING UP.

Doc Reisling, the former manager of the Hartford team, who jumped his contract with the Brooklyn club and cast his lot with the Tri-State league, at that time an outlaw or ganization, back in 1905, has ap- piled to the National commission for reinstatement, and hopes soon to be pitching for major league club. Reisling had a tiff with Ed Ham Ion, then manager of the Super bas, over his (Reisling's) poor con- dition, and when told that unless he soon recovered his best form he might as well look for better job packed his suit case and went to the outlaws. He now believes he is good enough to hold up his end in fast company again, and yesterday asked President Ebbets, of the Brooklyn club, to aid him in having his name removed from the black list. This Ebbets promised to do.

UMPIRE BATTER KELLY.
St Paul Ball Player. Expelled in 1906,
 Trying to Get Reinstated,

Chicago, Aug 7.-Action which, it is stated, means the reinstatement of M. J. Kelly of the St Paul baseball club, expelled in 1906 for umpire batting, was taken yesterday by club owners of the American association at meeting here.
 When the president, MT O'Brien, called the meeting together, repre- sentatives of the Columbus, Toledo, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and St Paul clubs were present. All but one, the name of whom was not divulged, vot- ed in favor of reinstating Kelly. It is stated that but one more vote would have made the reinstatement an &C., complished fact, and 1t is declared that this vote will be forthcoming at a later meeting, probably from the Minneapolis club.
 The move to regain Kelly's ser vices was made as a result of peti- tion signed by II, ,000 business men of St Paul, the mayor of that city and commercial organizations.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
MOB ANTI-sUNDAY BALL SQUIRE
Justice Who Prosecutes Sabbath
 Breakers Badly Beaten.

Pittsburg, Aug 7.-Because he has insisted on prosecuting boys and men who play baseball on Sunday Justice of the Peace George Thum of Spring Garden, a northern sub urb, has been forced to shoot on several different occasions to pro- tect himself from mobs which have attacked him.
 The worst attack came Wednes- day night, when he was set on by a gang of boys and men and badly beaten. Almost 2,000 people were around the justice at one time. Back ing against a tree, he pulled his re- volver and firing into the air chased them away. Then he dragged his way home and had the family doc tor called.
 Yesterday Thum asked the assist ance of the Pittsburg police depart ment, but he was told that the city officers could not assist him. He was directed to enter suit against those whom he knew had helped as~ sault him and he later caused the arrest of a dozen of his tormenters.
 Thum says the ball players dis turb church goers in his town and that he will break up the game if 1t costs him his life. He is a con- sistent church goer himself and plays ball on week days.

THE. DIAMOND
THE RECORDS DO
 NOT TALLY RIGHT
Our Pitchers Are Not Given the Correct Number of Games
 Other News.

The following records of the pitch CTS, who have taken part in all the games in this league, are given just as they were sent out, but whoever made them out must have been look ing at Waterbury through smoked glasses. Not one twirler on the pres ent local staff is given the correct av- craze, nor the correct number of games. We will just go down the line. Bronkie is credited with par ticipating in 29 games, winning IA and losing IS, which is wrong on the face of it as two games are missing. He is also given an average of .519. Up to one week ago Bronkie had par ticipated in but 24 games, had won Il and lost IS, giving him an aver age of .45S. Farley is credited with l f games played, 6 won and lost, another impossibility. Farley in the same length of time as credited to Bronkie, has pitched 10 games, won 6 and lost 4. Sillery is credited with 2l games played, ' won and lost, another peculiar condition with five games missing. Sillery has played in 4 games and has broken even. Me Partlin is credited with 10 games pitched, won and lost, another slight discrepancy of 3 games lost in the woods. McPartlin has been in five games, 1 won and I lost. Car mody has two games to his credit for pitching, when he should have but one. However here is the list as given out:
 Just 70 pitchers have worked in the Connecticut league so far this season, anG though there are three with better averages, Murray R. Par ker of Springfield looms up as the leader with 15 games won and only 5 lost. Parker has performed in 22 games, going in to do relief duty at times, and again being taken out and giving another pitcher an opportunity to save his game.
 Fisher of Hartford has been going at a good clip in the eight games he has worked, New Britain being the only team to plaster a defeat on him. Two twirlers who were early decorat- ed with the tin can badge have per feet percentages. with one game won for each, and none lost. They are Jarrett of Springfield and Billetdeau of Bridgeport. Billetdeau even with such a name didn't smell sweet enough for Jim O'Rourke, and pitch ed but one game. Jarrett got away with one win in three games, being put in for another that was already lost and getting the hook in the third when his team had such a big lead that the defeat was credited to Me Laughlin, who succeeded him.
 Leaving Fisher out, Schuman is Hartford's leading pitcher in the per- centage pile. with Stoup leading for New Haven and Tuckey for Meriden. Padron is New Britain's prize per former, and of course Red Waller leads the Bridgeport list. McNulty has the honors of the Waterbury team, though he didn't stand the gaff long. Sindler has won the biggest percentage among the Holyoke pitch CTS. Following are the figures for every pitcher who has worked in the league this season:

Bridgeport was al hat in the fifth inning when the game was stopped yesterday. Neither side scored but Peterson did the better box work as twice he prevented a score by using his noodle. There was a large crowd out and the rain caused great disappointment. as the fans were confident that the Athletics would take a snzip from Bridgeport. Batteries. Peterson and Johnson.

FLIES 1000 MILES.
Homing Pigeon Performs Remark, able Long Distance Feat.

Philadelphia, Aug "A pigeon, the property of Ben Smith of 2,S46 North Third street, alighted at the Smith loft Wednesday night, finish ing a 1,000-mile fly from Pensacola, Fla, in 10 days [ hours.
 The birds from "A lofts were sent South by the local breeders, and Mir Smiths bird was the first to return to this city. They were liberated at Pensacola on July 25 at 10:20 in the morning.
 Covering such a distance is won- derful performance, but the fact that this flyer went through storms along the Atlantic ccoast all the way on its route to this city, and a: times met heat spells which impeded its flight greatly. stamps 1t as one of the best performances known in the pigeon racing world.
