LEAGUE BALL PROSPECTS
NOT BRIGHT IN BANGOR

Bangor, Me-, July 11.-Unless there is
some enthusiastic Bangor fan who de-
sire to pose as an imitation Carnegie
and endow a baseball association with
enough money to run q team for the
rest of the season with good prospects
of getting very little satisfaction out
of the endowment, there will probably
be no more league baseball in this city
this season.
After the agitation Of the past few
days for reorganization of the Ban
gor team, the news that the attempt
has been given UP will be received by
lovers of the game in this city with re-
gret. Thursday and Friday indications
rather pointed to a resumption Of
games at Maplewood, but after con-
ference Saturday of those most inter
ested In the future of the game here it
was decided to let we'll enough alone
and not endeavor to get back Fin the

NEW PITCHER FOR TIGERS.
Sammy Smith, New York Boy, Is Pur
chased from Montreal.

Detroit. July 1.-THE Tigers never
have had much luck in picking up
pitchers from Eastern League clubs,
but Manager Hugh Jennings thinks
there is one finger in the Powers or
ganization who will add strength to the
local team, and arrangements have
practically been made to purchase him.
Bobby Lowe and Jimmy Caravan,
scouts of the Detroit team, have re-
ported favorably on the ability of Pitch
er Sammy Smith of Montreal, who Is
a youngster and who never has twirled
in a minor league until this year.
Last season the Detroit Club paid big
money for the releases of Ed Lafitte of
Jersey City and Elijah Jones of Mon
treal. Both men now are back in the
minors. The Detroit sleuths report that
Smith is a much better delivery clerk
than either Lafitte or Jones, and is
about the best man in the Eastern
League. Smith is New York boy
and twirled for semi professional teams
on Long Island before joining the
Royals.

UMPIRE OWENS HANDS
DOWN UNIQUE DECISION

Louisville. Ky, July 11.-BasebaIl
players and experts on the technicali-
ties of the national game agree that a
decision by Umpire Clarence Owens
here Saturday which gave Louisville
the winning run is unique.
Petz was at bat for Louisville with
two on bases. and McSurley, pitcher for
Toledo, after a conference with Catcher
Land, decided to give Peitz his base.
Three wide ones We're thrown to PETIT
anG before the fourth was pitched Land
stepped tout of line" and received an
exceptionally wide throw.
Owens promptly called it a balk and
signaled Sullivan on third to come in
with what proved to be LOuisville's
winning run. The rule on which Owens
based his decision was passed several
years ago ana is said never to have
been called into force before.

Glidden Tourists
Ready to Start
Long Run Today

Detroit. Mich. July 11.-Thirty automo-
great touring cars, are parked tonight
in Cadillac square, awaiting the signal
tomorrow for the sixth annual reliability
run of the Automobile Association, popu-
larly known as the Glidden tour. Finish
ing touches were put on each of the cars
before it was Checked i'm to Chairman
f. B. Hover of the contest committee
and each repair that has to be made dur
ing the 2636-mile run to Kansas City by
Way of Chicago, Minneapolis and Denver,
will result in a penalization of the ma
chimes score
In addition to the 80 cars which will
compete for the three trophies which are
the prizes of the run, about 20 non-com-
peting machines will make the long trip,
carrying officials, newspaper men, man
ufacturers and automobile enthusiasts
Promptly at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing the first car will be sent off by the
starter. At one-minute intervals the 9TH
avenue toward Kalamazoo the first con-
troll. Each car carries an observer to rep
resent the contest committee and to
record all accident and repairs which
will affect the score.
The sixth reliability contest is 1000 miles
longer and more severe in every way than
any of its predecessors Only three of
the Is days run call for less than $50
miles and the last day of the tour de-
mands that the machines cover 212S
miles, from Salina, Kas.. to Kansas City
That there will be few. if any, perfect
scores is the general prediction of the
veterans who have made other reliability
rurS.

Charlotte, n. c., July 11.-At Satur-
days game between the Charlotte and
the Spartanburg teams of the Carroll
ma Association, Pitcher Abercrombie
of the latter team threw the ball at
Umpire Butler after disputing a deci-
sion. Tho men clinched and the Char
lotte players went to the aid of the
umpire. The visiting players resented
this, causing a rough and tumble fight.
The police and outsiders parted the bel
lgerents.
Pitcher Abercrombie was arrested
AMI fined $25 and costs by the city re-
corder and has been suspended indefi-
nitely by the president of the league.

When you hear a person give voice
to the expression. "ball players have

inclined to side in with him and agree
that we get out money without an aW-
full lot of trouble. But, permit me to
say, you are far from the truth In

New York, July 11.-An effort will
be made this week to clinch the match
between Jack Johnson. the heavy
weight champion and AL Kaufman, OF
California, which will take place either
in September or October, and to de-
termine the place of meeting. john
son signed articles for the fight early
in June, but since then pressure has
been brought to bear upon the cham
pion to cancel the match on the ground
that it would interfere with his fight
with ketchel
The pugilistic atmosphere is under
going constant changes with respect to
the plans for undoing Jack johnson
and wrestling from him his champion
ship laurels. Until his recent fight
with Billy Papke there was a strong
hope among fight followers that Stan

might overcome the Negro, but that
hope is now glimmering.
Ketchel made little impression on
Fapke and it is said by Charley Har-
vey, who looks after Kaufman's inter-
ests, that if Ketchel cannot put away
middleweight he would have no
chance against the cleverer johnson
and his 21O pounds of bone and muscle.
Harvey says that Kaufman is the man
to meet Johnson for the title.
Friends of Jim Jeffries said today
that, Notwithstanding the announce
ment of the former champion pre-
liminary to his theatrical engagement
that he would fight Johnson, the one
time boilermaker will never re-enter
the ring. 1t is confidently stated by
those close to JeffrieS that his condi-
ton would not allow him to go over q
few fast rounds.
