A Man of Luck.

A king once said to administer, "Doyo
believe in luck ?"
81 do" said the minister.
"Can you prove it ?" asked the king
eyes, | can"
So one night he tied up TO the ceiling OF
room bag containing peas mixed with
diamonds and let in two men, one Of
whom believed in luck and the other in
human effort alone. The one who be-
lieved in luck quietly laid himself down on
the ground on his blanket; the other after
time found the bag and, telling in the
dark tie peas and diamonds, ate the peas
and threw the diamonds to his companion,
saying, "There are the stones for your
idleness."
The man below received them in his
blanket.
In the morning the king and the minis
ter came and told each man to keep what
he had found. The man who believed in
trying got the peas which he had eaten |;
the other got the diamonds.
The minister then said, "Sire, there
may, you see, be luck, but it is as rare as
peas mixed with diamonds, so let none
hope to live by luck"

Standing of Tigers in
Stars Baseball Contest

Isl" Parkins has jumped into the
fight. It's a cinch he has one loyal
friend. List TO this which was dropped
in by the mailman this morning:
Here's to good old .Si' Parkins.
Good, true, happy, honest and modest.
Good luck, good old ST."
And enclosed were six votes. Bet
that'll make Parkins think some. And
right after that there came a batch
of twenty-five. Jack Frill still retains
his lead, one admirer sending in twen-
ty-five for him. Zimmerman came in
with thirty-seven votes, which gets him
out of the cellar with a heave. Jake
Gettman made a big jump with ninety
nine ballots and bids fair to soon cap
ture the lead. Kelly had a lone tally
of seven, while Joe McGinnity came in
with eighteen.
It's beginning to warm up some, but
there is no doubt but that most of the
fans are holding back their votes to
send in by the ifties and hundreds.
Harry Wolyerton was one of The
leaders who failed to get a count to-
day, but he needn't feel lonely as there
are others to keep him company.

MOTOR-CYCL|STS TO
HAVE S|X-OAY RACE
Will Be First in This Country.
at Brighton Beach Track
September 26-October 3.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The first six
day motorcycle race to be held in this
country will take place on the Brighton
Beach motordrome track beginning at
midnight Sept. 26. and ending at mid
night October 3. The recently organ
lied association, which includes a num-
Der of makers of motorcycles, has an
nounced the contest and is seeking en-
trants. For thrills and continued eX-
element at a high pitch on the part
of the persons witnessing the event,
it is believed mat this contest will sur
pass anything previously devised.
That it will be even more exciting than
the Neutrality-suspicious. automobile race
is believed because there are likely to
be many more contestants and be-
cause enthusiasm is given a whole
week, day and night, to work UP TO the
final climax. Experts declare that the
racing, or pacing, motorcycle is the
most dangerous vehicle to ride and this
is borne out by the number of motor
cycle accidents recorded at bicycle rae
ing meets.

would have scored any one of them.
That shows how Mueller was gaing.
1t locke as If the first game would
be q walkover after Louden had hit
over the left field fence for the circuit,
and Kelly, who had singled, came
home on Shapes hard poke, and hen
the Tigers added three more in the
second, the game seemed over, for the
whole Montreal team seemed shot to
pieces. One hit, three bases on balls,
a passed ball and an error did the
trick in that round.
In the third inning the Royals put
a different complexion to the game,
for they fell o. Frill heavily, and be-
fore the clouds had passed there were
three runs over the pan. Cockilfs
home run oyer the fence, two singles
and a double, besides an error, two
bases on balls and batter hit, gave the
home club the three tallies.
One more came in the next inning for
Montreal when Wicker doubled, scoring
krichell, who had been passed and had
gone to second on a sacrifice. When
the first man in the sixth singled Nc
Ginnity hove to. and there was no more
scoring in that inning.
In the next round the count was tied
when Gettman juggled the bail that
Colvin had crashed through the box.
allowing Jones, who had doubled. to
score. Then it was a case of see
saw Gettman's double and Sharpe's
single put the Tigers ahead again in
the seventh, but in their part of the
same round Yeager, who had singled.
came across when Joyce tripled. That
was the end of the Montreal scoring,
however, and the run hat the fast
going Tigers got in the next inning of
this game on Louden's double and
Schlaiy's single put the Tigers in front,
and they were never headed.
During the entire second game the
Royals were at the mercy of Mueller.
In four of the nine innings the home
club went out in order. A double in
the first inning, an error and a double
in the second. a base on balls in the
fourth. a double in the seventh and an
other two-sacker and a base on pals in
the eighth were the only things that
broke the procession during the rest of
the game.
The Tigers. however, played good ball
all the way through this encounter.
They made the first score in the second
on Eddie Zimmerman's single and
Sharpe's double. In the fourth the.
Bengals took advantage of the ragged
work of the Royals and scored q run
on a base on balls, an error and a sac
rifice. Two were added to the tally in
the fifth inning, when after Mueller
and Louden had singled and had been
advanced on Kelly's out, Corcoran let
Schlafly's %grounder go through him,
making it Easy for the shortstop and
the pitcher to score. That ended the
run getting or both sides, and for the
rest of the game, except for five Bengal
hits that might have been runs, IL the
Tigers did not take so many chances
on the bases because they were ahead,
there was nothing exciting, for the
Royals were beaten, and they showed it.

JIM SAVAGE PUTS !
SAILOR CHAMPION
TO SLEEP IN 4TH
Fitzgerald Cancelled Match by
Wire and Cunningham Was
Substituted.

At the last minute q telegram was
received last night by Manager Mike
Newman, of the Long Acre A. c., to
the effect that Jack Fitzgerald, the
fast Philadelphia heavyweight scrapr
per, could not appear for his go with
Jim Savage, the Orange boy. After q
bit of hustIing the officials secured
Sailor Cunningham, the champion
heavyweight of the navy, who here
tofore has been unbeaten.
When the bell ang it could easily
be seen that Savage a many pounds
lighter than his opponent, but this did
not deter him the least bit. Rushing
right at him, his hands failing away
without a rest, he soon had the big
tar beating it on the hotfoot. Not
w~ithstanding his efforts, the sailor
came in for one of the incest trounc-
ings ever handed out in the Long
Acre. He was game. however. until
the fourth round, when Jim landed e
solid right-hand wallop on the heart
that dropped him like a log. He was
unconscious for more than ten minutes,
and for a time the officials We're badly
scared.
The work OF Savage of late is the
cause of much comment on the part
of the fight critics, and many look
upon him as one of the leading men
of his class in the country.
Billy Leary, the fast lightweight, will
meet Charlie Seiger. the Hoboken
Iron Man. in the star bout at the
next show of the Long Acre on Tues
day night next. Billy has been keeping
quiet for some time, but his friends
say he has been in active training to
regain the old form that made, him
such a popular man with the New
York ring followers. His work has ala
ways been of the c~leanest sort, and
his manly actions nave made him many
friends. who will no doubt be on hand
to see him polish off the Hoboken
scrapper. 81
The management of the National A.
c., OF Pittsburg. has announced that
AID Wolgast viii never fight In Pitts
burg again-at least not under the
auspices Of that club. The reason is
that he deliberately tried to foul
Harlem Tommy Murphy in the
sixth round of their bout here last
night after Murphy had him whipped
badly.
A succession of left jabs from Muir
ply sent Wolgast almost to the floor
in this round, and the beaten fighter
deliberately caught Murphy by the
foot, trying to throw him backward.
and then aimed a swing at his stom-
ach while Murphy was off his balance.
