detail and measured 17k inches in

Hundreds of boxes of prize-win-

was taken up by the Spokane County
Horticultural society at meeting on
April 4, 1908, when it was proposed
to have an apple show the following
fall. The Washington State Horti-
cultural association and the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce Endorsed the
project. Changes followed rapidly as
the idea was worked out and from
county show it passed to an Inland
Empire exhibit and finally, by unan-

From a Staff Correspondent
PROVIDENCE, Aug.


Unless Hughey Duffy finds
weather conditions not exactly
to his liking, the Tigers will
carry the fight to the Grays todayfn a
double matinee performance. Brady
and McGinnity will probably work for
Newark, while Cronin and Barberich
are likely to perform for the Grays.
1t is hoped hat the Providence Twill
ers have had all of the rest necessary,
because Wolverton says that his men
never like to take advantage of men
who are fatigued. The battle today
will be fought to the last kopje by
both teams, who are eager to get out
in front n make some of the pace.
The double victory over Buffalo by
Rochester yesterday was not received
with feelings akin to pleasure in the
camps of either team, but as the Bisons
will have several more opportunities to
get over lawmakers it is believed that
the Broncos are sure to capitulate.
The game postponed yesterday will

Der 5. when the Tigers come to Prov

IGERS READY FOR DOUBLE
BILL With GRAYS TODAY

not so favorable in other cities in the
Eastern League circuit. Indications
are that Buffalo and Rochester will be
unable to pull off their double event,
as Geographic report has 1t that it is
raining in the city on the Genesee this
morning. If the Broncos do not play
n the Tigers should win two games,
the standing would be: Rochester, 500;
Newark, .547. In Jersey City the
weather is reported to be cloudy, ana
games were to have been played by all
Eastern League teams today.
After the games today the Tigers and
Grays will leave the city, the Duffymen
going to Jersey City and the Tigers re-
turning to their own ball-yard for a Sc
ries with Baltimore. A double win today
over Providence would be the cause Of
much %exultation. If the Tigers should
perchance get home in front in both
contests, and George Smiths team
should humble the Broncos twice i'll the
same place, it would mean that VOL
yerton's merry men would have a lead
of two points.
Mueller for Yanks.
1t was announced here yesterday that
the New York Highlanders had pur-
cha sed the release of Kid Mueller, the
clever Tiger twirler. who will not re-
port to Manager Stallings until next
season. The price paid for the release
of the young twirler has not been made
known, but it is said that New York
will hand over a goodly amount OF cur
rercy. Mueller has attracted the atten-
tion of many baseball scouts his season
who were anxious to purchase his re-
lease. but little George StallinSs beat
them to the game.
This ia Mueller's second season as a
Tiger twirler. He was unearthed by
william + Mcconnell. official scorer for
the Newark team, who signed him for
walter Rurnham. then manager of the
Newark club. Mcconnell witnessed .

1906, and thought so we'll OF the d

of the deliberations with a deal of

practical and should prove of value to

though auto racing may never attain
the popularity which cycle racing en-
joyed. there is no good reason why it

1arly throughout the country much in

saved. as stock rs could be driven

1t must be admitted that automobile

NEW. YORK, Aug. 1S.-All other
deals to secure the services of Mike
Donlin as a baseball player having
fallen through, the Brooklyn Club of
the National League is now out with
an offer for the actor-player. Presi-
dent Bbbets is quoted as saying that
he will make an offer to the New York
Club for the release of Donlin, so that
he can become the active manager of
the Brooklyn Club next season. Donlin
is said to look upon the proposal with
favor. Donlin and his wife, Mabel
Hite, have signed a contract to APP
pear on the vaudeville stage, which
will keep them busy until next spring.

LOCAL UMPIRE TO WORK
IN IMPORTANT BALL GAMES,

Frank j. McTague. of this city, will
umpire the remaining games of the
Branchville-Newton series. regarded
annually as the cream of all games in
Sussex county.
The second game of the series will
be played at Branchville Saturday.
and the final game a week later at
Newton. The first game was played
at Newton and was won by that team,
4 to 0. Each side had an umpire and
the arrangement was far from salts
factory, and both cams agreed on
McTague.
The series was won by Branchville
last year and they figure on duplicat-
ing this year.
Lindenan and Farmer will be in the
points for the Newtonites and Andy
Coakley and Pete Lamar will work
for the home team.

CIRCUIT FOR AUTO RACES
IS NOW TAKING FORM
Not Unlikely That the Near Future Will See String
OF Tracks Similar to That Of the HalCyon
Days Of the Bicycle Game.

y FEWARKERs well remember the halcyon days OF
the bicycle craze when it had New Jersey in it's
throes as well as every other section of the
country and many will refer to them as happy days.
All of the famous cycle stars had scores of friends in
this city and the famous grand circuit cha sers will for
ever be held in 70 nd remembrance. Never again in all
probability will those good old days return. The cycle
racing game has long since been dead SO far as any sort
of circuit racing Is concerned, and the old dirt tracks
have long since been obliterated. Newark is one of the
very few cities in the country where interest in the bike
game has not been allowed to wane, but withal there is
not the comment or excitement there was IN 1893 and
1894.
AT tnat time Arthur Zimmerman was the bright
Paruicuiar star, the Jersey Skeeter" capturing 103 frsts

petltofs. 1t was Jimmy who practically made circuit
