When johnson Posts $1,000 at Chicago
Berger Delighted.

New. York, Aug. 2.-Sam Berger,
manager for James ]. Jeffries, ex-
pressed considerable delight, and said:
We'll, / guess there'n be a fight"
when informed this evening that
Johnson had posted $4,000 in Chicago
today to bind a match with Jeffries
for the heavyweight championship.
AS to a report that Johnson wants
Jeffries to agree to the time and place
for the match before the latter goes
abroad, Berger said: How can JEFF
fries name any time or place for the

bid has been received from promot-

sonably good to US both we will ac-
cept.

HURST tanned COBB.
Ty Kicked at Decision But Is SiIenced
by Ripping Sarcasm.

Tim Hurst, the American league
umpire, says "cocky youngsters from
the minor leagues give the umpires
more trouble than the battle SCARED
regulars You can't win an argu-
ment by filming or benching them. I
find it easier to subdue them with
sarcasm. Mr.. 300. hitter from the
bushes is accustomed to getting all the
shades at home; he had all the jumps
in the Tallgrass league buffaloed: the
pitchers had to pitch the ball for him,
curving it over the corners didn't
count. So Mr.. 800 hitter belches a
blue streak at the umpire when he hits
the big league and realizes that curv-
ing 'em over the corners counts. We
have to take a fall out of these kids
before they become good.
The first year Ty Cobb came up
from Augusta, Ca. he gave me a lot
of trouble. Ty was out for a fat bat
ting average and he didn't like to have
strikes called on him. Ed Walsh slip
ped one over on him one day; called
it a strike and Ty broke loose with a
fearful roar. While he was cracking
his whip / struck up a conversation
with Billy Sullivan. who was catching
Walsh. They tell me this fresh Geor-
gia cracker has disorganized the De-
troit team, said | to Sullivan. Cobb
had had trouble with Matty Mcintyre
and Eddie Siever, and when Sullivan,
who was wise to my game, fell in line
and remarked, Why, yes, and they tell
me Siever gave him beautiful trim
ming in the bus on the clubs last
trip to st. Louis You should have
seen Ty back up. He forgot al labout
the strike had called on him, march
ed back to the plate, and, like the i'm
mortal Casey, signified that he was

dents. Arellanes surely Is a good
pitcher, Pape gives every promise OF
being conner, and so does Collins.
There are plenty of worse soutnpaws
than Burchell and Wolter, and then
we have Schlitzer, too. We have de-
veloped two good catchers in Carri-
gan and Donohue, two men who can
help out with the bat as wen as be-
hind-the plate. Madden is another
catcher who will be heard from in the
future. Out on the coast they said
he and Easterly were the onl- two
catchers who looked good enough for
the big leagues, and that Madden was
the better of the two. / don't think
they had that right, though, for this
Easterly is certainly star.
I'VE have an infield that Is as fast
as any in the league. and one that
can hit and show speed on the bases,
too. Barring Detroit POSSIBLY, where
will you fiSd a better all around set
of outfielders? Our team is there now.

The players. and for that reason ] be-
lieye we will beat out Philadelphia
Connie- Mack is now going through
what The we had to pass in 1908, as
he is breaking in a new infield. Then
his outfield cannot compare with ours
THE only place he is stronger than
Boston Is in his pitchers box. He has
two southpaws in krause in Plank
Still. there is no telling but that Col
Iiffs may prove to be just as much OF

BOSTON IN RACE NEXT SEASON
Manager Lake Thinks His Team and
the Athletics Will Contend for the
Pennant.

Philadelphia and Boston will be the
contenders for the American league
pennant in 1910 and 1911. according to
Manager FAKE of Boston. Two years
ago." he says, Boston began to make
plans for the future. We built up an
entirely new infield around Wagner,
who has been carried as a utility man
for a year. We gathered an entirely
new outfield in Thoney, Speaker. Niles
and Gessler. We got rid of our vet
eran pitchers, Dineen, Young, Tame
hill, Winters and finally Morgan. The
last named might have been of great
assistance to us, and he never would
have been traded had he listened to
advice which he has since followed
that of discarding the spit ball for
the curve.
"Cy Young might have been of
great worth to US this season, but
we thought we saw a chance to get
two corners instead of man who, it
must be admitted, cannot go on for
ever. l hope Cy is able to last ten
years longer, but the fact that he is
now A years old is rather against it.
Chech and Ryan started off well with
us, but were of little help. Neverthe-
less, we have the makinf of a strong
pitching staff. Joe Woods looks to be
as good as there is in the league. CT
cote is strong pitcher, but has been

Pirates Take Double Header.

The first game was with the Taft
vile Blues by score of 8 to 10. The
Blues had a strong team, but the Pr
rates were too much for them, and
every one of the Pirates hit we'll. The
batteries of the first game were for
the Blues, Lambert Lebrich and for
the Pirates Jodoin, Liberty The
Kickers looked on for six innings and
said, "Oh, the Pirates are easy; we'll
get them this camel" Then the Kick
ers came to bat. The first man up was
Roxy. He made home run, but ev-
cry time after was a strike out
In the first inning they made two
runs and in the first inning the Pr
rates made two runs and then kept on
scoring until it came to fifteen runs
Then they stopped, the Kickers max
ing two more runs in the third inn
ing. The score was IS to T.
Fred. Cyr. had eight chances and got
them all; his fielding was thousand;
came to bat ten. times, ten hits, bat
ting 1000. George Derosier made a
home ran for the Pirates. All the
Pirates got six hits apiece on an aver
age.
The Pirates journey to Taftville next
saturday, where, they will play the

stake, which was won by Margin al
Detroit Wednesday, is coupled with
the famous Charter Oak at Hartford
as one of the two events in the horse
world which has been of most benefit
to the breeders of this country. AL
most without exception the field for
the $4,000 prize in eac hof the twenty
years that the race has been conduct
ed has been notable. Such famous
horses as Directum Kelly, Temple Bar.
EIeata, Rhythmic, Stanley Dillon and
Sonoma Girl have returned winners.
The NJ. & MS great attraction, says
The Horseman, is the fact that it is
for the 2.24 class, and always has
been, so that right at the beginning
of the season the best green or slow
record horses have sufficient induce
ment to go to their speed limit. This
in itself Is a most admirable feature.
Another point about the stake is that
it is the Oldest stake of the amount
whose conditions as to class have new
er been changed. 1t has amply full
filed the objects for which it was Gre
ated, and in many respects can well
claim to be the great trotting stake
of the year.
The record has been reduced from

|HeydIer President Of National League
Elected at Louisville After Funeral of Fl. c. Puiam-No
Games in American and National Leagues in Respect
to Dead President-Other Sports

Louisville. KY, Aug. 2.-About an
hour after Harry G. Pu1liam. late
president of the National League of
Baseball clubs, was buried today in
cave Hill cemetery, John Heydler of
Cincinnati, secretary of the league,
| was chosen president of the league at
a special meeting of the directors.
There was some feeling that it might
be indicate to name Mr.. Pulliam's
successor at this time, but the leagues
immediate need of a qualified head
overcame the oualm.
Besides electing Mr.. Heydler to fill
Mr.. Pulliam's unexpired term, the di-
rectors concerned themselves only
with paying triubte to Mr.. Pulliam's
memory. They gave the remainder of
his salary for 1909 to his e~+ate; and
they appointed Garry Hermann of
Cincinnati, Barney Dreyfus of Pitts
burg and Charles Murphy of Chicago
as a committee to select and have
erected in Cave Hill a suitable monu-
ment to Mr.. Pulliam. They also pro-
vided that all players in the National
league shall wear creme for thirty
days.
The meeting was attended by four
of the five league directors: Murphy,
Dreyfus, Ebbitts and John Dovey.
Garry Hermann will reach Cincin-
udlLi lOAnOIIOW lIOIl Tic WCSl.
Though there was no set euloov pre-
pared by the committee each director
spoke of Mr.. Pulliam as the "squarest
man in baseball" and one who had
welded an influence for the better over
the national game.
Except for Mr.. Dreyfus, who remain
ed with relatives in Louisville over
night, all the baseball men who came
to attend the funeral and the bust
ness meeting went home.
Bat and Ball Laid Aside.
New York, Aug. 2.-Bat and ball
were laid aside by thirty professional
baseball clubs today out of respect to
the memory of Harry c. Pulliam, pres
ident of the National league, who was
buried at Louisville, Ky, this after
noon. This is the first time in base
ball history, it is said, that all six
teen clubs of both the National and
American leagues simultaneously re-
Trained fro mtheir sport.
The New York State league was the
only minor organization to call off all
its games, but two games of the East
ern league-those at Rochester and
Buffalo-were 7oned, as was also
one between Louisville and Minneap-
oils. where the funeral was held.
The New President.
New York, Aug. John Arnold
Heydler, the new president of the Ma
tional league. has been its secretary
since 1902. He was born in Lefarge-
vile, N. Y, on July TO- 1869. He
learned the printing trade nj Roches-
ter and later went to Washington,
where he was employed by the gov
eminent
For three years Mr.. Heydler was one
of the substitute umpires of the Ma
tional league. While sporting editor
of a Washington paper he helped the
American league gain a foothold in
that city. He is universally popular
with club owners, managers and play
ers.
