SUBMARINE APPARATUS.

at the top with large collapsble tube
or shaft, which extends to Il float or
barge at the surface Of the water. The
shaft is made up of series of sections
terminating In flanged rings, whereby
the sections may be bolted together.
Each section consists of flexible cov-
ering stretched over series of metal
rings of l shape cross section. By
means Of the chain hoist connected
with the top of the operating chamber
the apparatus may be lifted up to the
surface, collapsing the vertical shaft
and permitting the operating chamber
to rise into housing in the barge. AS
the apparatus is raised the sections are
unbolted and slowed away.
The operating chamber Is entirely
sealed except for its connection with
the tube, No air pumps are necessary,
as free communication with the out
side air is had through the open verti-
cal tube. The chamber is provided
with glass covered windows, through
which the surroundings may be exam
ined. The side walls of the chamber
are formed with protruding parts,
which are furnished with windows on
all sides and serve as helmets for the
operators. Armholes in these protrud-
ing parts are fitted with sleeves of
flexible material. In use the operators
climb down the vertical shaft, using
the stiffening rings as stepladder,
and when in the operating chamber
they can by means of the sleeve reach
out and conduct the ordinary opera
tons of the diver while fully protected
within the operating chamber. Arti-
cles that are to be lifted to the surface
may be attached to graphing irons let
down from the barge. To facilitate
the work electric lights may be low
cred into the water outside Of the oper-
ating chamber.

A Lost Band.

A Scotch story is of diminu-
tive drummer in a local brass band
who was in the habit when out pa
rading with his comrades of walk
ing by sound and not by sight, ow-
ing to his drum being SO high that
he was unable to see over it. The
band on Saturday afternoons pa
raded usually in one direction, but
one day the leader thought he would
change the route little and turned
down a bystreet. The drummer,
unaware Of this movement, kept on
his accustomed way, drumming as
hard as ever he could. By and by,
after finishing his part and not
hearing the others, he stopped and,
pushing his drum to one side,
looked to see what was the matter.
His astonishment may be imagined
at finding that he was alone. 'Hae"
he cried to some bystanders. elias

Gianfs Him 3Faf Cubs
 1ampeYed Wifh WeimeY

New York-Where is Jake Weimer?
 Why isn't the pitcher bought from Gin cinnati with the Giants?
 If Weimer were in New York now in- stead of in Chicago he could be used to great advantage.
 The first question has already been answered. Weimer is in Chicago doing nothing He has paid no attention to letters from McGraw and from the New York club. and this, too. after coming to a satisfactory agreement with the Giants, donning a New York uniform and practicing with the team. Not only that, but he packed his belongings and got as far as the train prepared to leave the Windy City with MeGraw. Just before the train pulled out a stranger spoke a few words to Weimer and he hurriedly left the station.e says a man in touch with Giant affairs. ''Who was the man? Was he sent by Charley Murphy or any one connected with the Chicago club?
 ''Weimer. it will be remembered, was once Chicago player. He is married to a Chicago girl. and has never been anxious to beat the Chicago team. When he failed to show up and pitch against the Cubs for the Giants, McGraw and every one else believed that he would join just as soon as New York got away from Chicago But Weimer didn't join,

and hasn't been heard from since. He is not a rich man. and depends upon his baseball salary-which, legitimately at least has not been going on for month to pay his expenses and the expenses of his family.
 It is apparent that the Cubs are prac- tically beaten for the championship right now, but no matter who wins the pen nant, Charley Murphy and the rest of the Chicago crowd would rather finish ahead of New York than win 1000 flags No stone would be left unturned to down Me- Graw, and even if the Giants were down in seventh place, without a chance in the world to climb higher, the cry throughout the west would be: Beat the Glantsi" Murphy, ex-Giant employe. has been busy trying to buy a pitcher Failing in that it does almost as well to keep the Giants from getting a good man. Is that the answer to the Weimer question?
 But the Giants are not beaten by any means. They have as good chance right now as any team in the league to win the pennant. All season the Giants have had it on the Cubs, beating them right and left and still Chicago Is ahead of the Giants. Donlin is going through a bat ting slump. So are other members of the team. but they will get over it all right

MORE CONCERNING
 RYAN'S RELEASE

Montgomery, August 2.-(Special.)- ager of the Montgomery ball club came as surprise when announced by Pres ident Chambers on Saturday afternoon. It was all the more a surprise when 1t became known that the resignation was accepted several days ago at a meeting of the directors and only awaited the return of Ryan Saturday y morning to be made public.
 The retirement grew out of the de sire on the part of Ryan to get back to many private interests In Chica go. and also, it Is understood, to allow hin, to resume his old trade of independent baseball in the Windy City. He has been in this line of work for some time and is familiar with 1t. Because Of the situation, the directors re- leased MT. Ryan from his contract that was to run two years.
 Ed Greminger, who came here with Ryan to play third base and was later transferred to first, has been put in charge of the team for the rest of the season with the title of acting man. ager. He will have the job for keeps 1T he is able to make good. 1t is un. derstood. Since Ryan has been away Greminger has been in charge and has played the game with great Judgment. intelligence and much success. He is very popular with the fans and has 2 fine chance to make good. Ryan will go back to Chicago Monday.

some of the ball players of today de- clare that the game as played now is far in advance of the game as played 25 years
 ago, but you talk with some of the vet
 eran managers and they will tell you an
 entirely different story. Charlie Cush-
 man. who managed major league teams back in the sos, and who managed Mill
 waukee in the sos, does not agree with
 the present-day players and managers as to the games advance Says Charlie Cushman: You read almost every week about the wonderful squeeze play that some team worked and other up-to-date feats, but I tell you it is simply a case of using a new name for some of the old tricks. Why when had Bob Petit, Eddie Burke, Abner Dalrymple, George Shock and such men back In 1s90-9i it was a common occurrence to use the squeeze play, as they now call it. With a man on third and one out Bob Petit used to give the signal and work with the runner to perfection. They had 1t down as fine as any of your up-to-date teams. It was also common play those days to get a man on first and work him to third on the bunt It was what you call the squeeze play-only we worked from first to third. You don't see it worked often nowadays, although I noticed several op- portunities in a recent game between Milwaukee and Minneapolis, where the third baseman was drawn in and neither the pitcher nor shortstop covered third base. which left it at the mercy of the runner, but even the runner overlooked it. They also talk about the hit and run game being developed since the sos, but I remember when Chicago played 1t in 1885 with Mike Kelly and Ed Williamson, also Charley Comiskeys Browns at St. Louis. It was easy then for such play CTS as Arlie Latham, Fuller, Gleason, Robinson and O'Neil All of them worked it, and I know Ted Sullivan used

HEADWAITERS ARE
 GETTING VEAL THY

From the Bohemian.
 In spite of what the newspapers dis covered or failed to discover, the head walters of New York, in the approved Tammany phrase, are doing remarkably well for themselves" Several of them have become proprietors. which is proof sufficient and ample for all that Is i'm piled. Some of them have undoubtedly appropriated part of the tips given to the walters under their charge Some of them have undoubtedly taken money from the walters for granting them es- peciallv desirable locations in the dining room. such as table near the kitchen door.
 A table near the kitchen door! That is the ambition of every waiter. Given that advantage he can serve twice as many people and get twice as many tips as the other man who has to serve people in the further corners of the room. The right to serve tables near the windows is also very much to be desired, especial ly in the hot summer months. That walters should get large fees on holidays and festival occasions Is per haps entirely legitimate. That they should often take advantage of large dinner parties, and do what is known as passing the goblet" when the fees have been included in the price paid for the meal is another matter. Yet this is often done, and the public, being ex- cessively absent-minded, pays without . protast

ALEXANDER AND WRIGHT
 ID REPRESENT AMERICA

New York, August 2.-The United States will send a team to try to bring the Dwight Davis tennis trophy from Aus tralia. It now seems certain that Beals c. Wright will be one of the American team to go to the Antipodes
 All along 1t has been no secret that of all the men that might be selected for that important post, he was the one who stood ready to make the trip. The action of the English association during the past week in naming M. J. G. Ritchie. Kenneth Powell and J. C. Parke has aroused the Americans from their 1eth- argy. It is said that an official announce ment as to the American challenge is about to be made. The name of Freder- ick B. Alexander Is coupled with that of Beals c. Wright in this respect.
 Alexander and Wright should certainly make the best doubles pair that this coun- cup, and all of the sports followers are eagerly awaiting the official notice that may set them to playing together. Each is also most capable In singles and that would mean much to the Americans If team is to go to Australia The English team is regarded around the courts as distinctly inferior, which is an additional incentive toward making the trial An other thing generally known is that Nor man E. Brooks has stayed at home in Australia this season and has not been up to his usual standard. On the other hand Anthony F. wilding has been playing in England and F,vrOpe and not showing the exceptional form of last year in his matches. All of this argues toward Amer ican success, especially if Alexander and Wright are to represent the Americans.

Cnshman Says Game Has
 Adbanced Bnt Very Liftle

to have his men play all these tricks back in the sos. l have seen the right fielder throw men out at first base on ground balls frequently, simply because they came up fast on a grounder and took a chance But you don't see 1t nowadays. Sliding to bases was also more of an art those days as the players of today do not seem to take the same chances. The only improvement I can see is in the pitching line, and of course the catchers have been assisted with new style gloves. etc. The pitchers have studied the change of pace more and also the float ball, which were not used those days-at least not to any extent It seems to me that the pitchers have improved while the batters have remained stationary. I like to see more men on the bases and more base running, and think the fans like it. An- other thing, l believe the players them selves took more interest In the game those days, which accounts for the lack of enthusiasm displayed by teams. The players can make even a poorly-played game interesting if they will put their hearts into the play. Some of the old timers may have been a little rough in their makeup, but they surely could play the game for all there was in it.
 Talking of high-priced minor league clubs, Charlie Cushman continued:
 Even Columbus, Toledo and Indian- apolis of the American association, with their high-priced teams, do not begin to touch the team we had In Milwaukee for part of 1884, when we were fighting the old major league, nor the one in 1891 when we took Cincnnati's place in the old American association. In 1884 we had such men lefty Cushman Porter, Meyers, Bgnal, Horner, Warner, Bald win, Morrsey Biehl, Sexton and others. which with the manager was over s6O0p u month. In 1891 we had a bunch of stars and paid out at the rate of $33,0oo for a season for the team. That was going some for minor league club those days.'

he yielded a total of 10 hits and his op- ponents scored but two runs. Robinson lost three games, the lad, for some req sons, concerning which there Is debate, having shown a remarkable reversal of form. The general belief is that having been bumped exceedingly hard immedi- ately after spraining his ankle, he lost confidence in his ability.

However, he will come around and make very valuable twirier for next seasons ''pennant win ners"
