It was the thirteenth league game for the Yosts, and Hoodoo Jaekel was pitching against them Saturday, the result being that the American & Brit iSh Co. team were the victors Az. It was a grand game marked by sensa- tlonal fielding on the part of the Yosts and rare pitching by Jaekel. The bat ting of the victors was timely. The that they carried Pitcher Jaekel.around on their shoulders, not even letting up in their celebrat ton till late in the ev- ening- It was great event to beat the coming champs, and as they were the first to enjoy that honor the A. & B. boys were out in force.
 It was Tommy Smallwood's heauti- full throwing that was deadly to the A. & B. runners. Tom nipped a runner by a mile at the plate in the fifth in ming. In the second inning White in right field for the Yosts pulled a liner out of the air which was about to sail over the fence- In the eighth fluke triple play resulted, the play being completed through the bone head work of the A. & B. base runners. There were men on second and third with none down, when Coles hit to Dubee in center field. The sphere was caught all right and the throw home perfect. but Muldoon had the throw beaten out. Umpire McCann saw that Muldoon had started from third before the ball had been caught and when the sphere was
 
 out. Gustropski had run from second to third on the throw in, and when he heard that Muldoon was out started to kick. leaving the bag and was tagged out by Donnelly, which completed the play. Yosts started off like champs, getting two runs in the first. Jaekel threw Dowling's easy grounder into the crowd back of first. Bowling going to second. Keenan walked and Small wood sacrificed both men along a base. Jaekel filled the bases by hitting Will son, and forced a runner over on walking Smalling. On Whites sacri- flee fly to center field Keenan scored. That ended the run getting for the Yosts, as after that inning Jaekel set tied down allowing only two hits. The A. & B. s tied the score in the second on pass, an error and Coles two bag ger into deep left field. The score remained a tie 2-2 til the eighth when the ice was again broken by the A. & B. boys.

 OUT WAIVER
 "Habitual aviators,' according to a letter of instruction issued yesterday to. the agents of the Travellers 1nsur- anca company, of Hartford, must join the ranks of automobile racers, sand hogs and others whom the insurance companies decline to accept as risks. It is thought that the action of the Travellers company will son be follow ed by other insurance companies.
 The letter of instructions to agents is in part as follows:
 s'The hazard of operating or riding in aeroplanes and flying machines is not insurable as an accidental risk, and those insured with us indulging in this form of sport must be asked to carry their own risk by the execution of a special waiver, or surrender their policies. The same instruction ap- plies to those who indulge frequently in ballooning.
 Concerning those who take one bal loon trip. with no expectation of re- beating the experience, we will not re- Quire waiver for that trip but if an other one or more are to be made, the waiver must be executed, or the pol icy cancelled
 This is the first time, it is said, that any insurance company has recog- nized the air ship and the balloon as important diversion of contemporary

WEST BINDS LOST.

In the best game of the season play ed so far at West End Park the West Ends suffered defeat at the hands Of the Hartford Consolidated team 1-O. It was a pitchers battle between Me Namara, of the local club and Lenhoff late of the Trenton Atlantic league team. The latter had the better of the argument giving only three hits and not Issuing pass. McNahhara allowed five hits and gave two passes. There would have been shut out but for a low throw to third base by Kerr in the fifth inning. It was Barber that scored the lone run of the game, after two were down he connected for two bagger going to third on a short hit to left field and scoring on the low throw.

 James H. O'Rourke, or "Jim,' as we all called him, was a splendid ball player and especially excelled in play ing behind the bat and in the outfield, which position he played for many years. A sure catch, an active fielder, a good thrower and fine batsman, ORourke was always to be relied up on. Born of Irish parentage, he hail. ed from the Nutmeg State and was when I last heard of him in business at Bridgeport, Conn.,, and reported as doing well. He was a quiet, gentle manly young fellow, blessed with a goodly share of Irish wit and a rich vocabulary of jawbreaking words. CF'rom Pop Anson's Memoirs)

It was 'Rube' Marquad the s11.OOO beauty who was spiked by Merkle, the no touch second man. They came in contact while trying to field bunt.

 Manager Bone could not be content unless he is signing up new men. His latest additions are O'Brien and Bert whistle. two players from Atlantic The latter name sounds familiar to local fans, Bert played with Bridge port for a couple of seasons, jumping to the outlaws. He was with the At lantic league this season and was in strumertal in sending Pitchers Kane and Whitmeyer here.
 There are still rumors floating about as to who will go to the New York Giants for the trade of Mike Donlin It has been stated that outfielder Ma gee and either pitchers Moran or Fox en would be included. The trade was one of the biggest surprises of the year as it was thought the New York mana cement would not let Donlin slip through their fingers.
