CLARKE CLAIMS
SPIKE SHANNON
IS NOT ALL IN
Pirates Manager Says Lot of
Good Is Left in Former
Giant.

PITTSBURG, July 23.-The Pittsburg
baseball club %nounce that it has
bought Spike Shannon from the New
York club, the price being $1,000. Shan
non will report to Pittsburg at the Polo
Grounds on Friday. While the Pitts
burg management will not admit it,
there is a rumor that he may be placed
at first base for 81 infield tryout.
Clarke said last night that the taking
on of Shannon did not mean that Dan
Moeller. the extra outfelder, was to be
released. The great game now being
played by the Pittsburg outfield does
not seem to leave a place for Shannon
at the present time,
"They say in New York that shannon
is all in said Clarke. "They said the
same of Roy Thomas down in PhilAdel-
phia, but there is no game being put
up by n outfielder in the league that
is better than Roy's. | think it will
be the same way with Shannon with
us. He Is a great player. | will take
a dozen Shannons at the same price"

GLIDDEN TOURISTS WILL
END THEIR RUN TODAY

chairman's car and pacemaker had its
experience about sixty-one miles from
the start, near Hanover, when, in pass
ing a young and frightened pair of
horses, it ran too near a very deep
ditch. The roadway gave way and the
machine slid down. The low speed with
which 1t was running prevented a more
serious affair, for it was moving at a
speed of about eight miles IN hour, and
and there seemed to be lots of room on
the side. The weight of the party and
the car forced the ground away. slip
ping down and stopping parallel to the
road, on an angle of about s. degrees.
On this Chairman Hover was thrown
out and down about eighteen feet, but
was not injured. Mr.. Glidden jumped,
and when he struck the ground rolled
over several times to get out of the way
of the car. Tom Fetch, Ralph Estey
and party in the cl~ose-coupled 1903
Packard, was close behind and pulled
out the touring car with a wire cable,
so that the latter lost but thitry-ive
minutes.
Frank Yerger's experience was also
an exciting one and was more serious
for his party nearly bumped off a
bridge into a stream. fifty feet below.
This happened at perhaps the most
dangerous turn of the day. at the foot
of a steep hill where the majority of
drivers expected to move straight
ahead, but where they suddenly saw
that the confetti led to a suspension
bridge across the Androscoggin river,
1873 milese from the start. Mr.. Yeryer
was making up time and saw the turn
too late to stop, but the road ahead
was a blind onoe and, in turning sharp
ly the right front tire tore off and the
car shot for the side of the bridge. 1t
tore away the woodwork n only the
big cables prevented a drop. The al
itself was barely damaged, the front
fender being torn away n the rear
one dinged, but there was no mechani-
cal injury at all and the, party checked

STARS TROUNCED
POLICEMEN IN A
CHARITY GAME
First Precinct Team No Match
for the Newspaper
Bunch.

Well, it happened They say light
ming never strikes twice in the
same place. That is untrue of the
ball smuggling members of THE STARS,
for they do strike in the same
place, and often, as the score of yes
terday's game shows. If the story of
this game were to be told in detail it
would sound like a delayed Fourth of
July celebration, so often were the root
inps Of THE STARS feminine aggre-
cation punctured by the sharp cracks
of the bat as the wood-putters of that
team put the timber to that hard-over-
worked ball.
The police of the First Precinct did
well up to and through the fourth in
ming, and the score then stood at the
big-leaguish figures of 2-1 in favor of
the knights of the pencil. Then Calf
ney, who covers third ack for the
cops, threw the ball, at a conservative
estimate, twenty feet over Eddy, the
first sacker's head. This put the de-
tenders of our noble city off their food,
and the way hose runs began to tally
vas really marvellous.
Gould, the former West Point man,
was in fine form. and held the police
down to eight hits. Collins, who twirled
first for Captain Ryan's men. did well
until the fatal fourth, and then he gave
way to Welppert.
MacIntyre, the regular twist manu-
facturer for THE STARS. put up as
good a game yesterday at the initial
sack as he did behind the bat last week

game was starr. the third -sacker's,
