Manager oROurke has purchased the release of Pitcher Foreman from Con- nie Mack of the Philadelphia Ameri- cans. The home manager does not in- tend to have the Orators finish in last place. The new pitcher is due to ar rive today.
 The injury to Cy Perkins, the HoI- yoke third baseman here on Satur- day is to be regretted while sliding to third base his right leg was brok- the remainder of the season. His loss will be severely felt by the Holyoke ma nagement especially at this time of the season when they are making such a grand fight for the pennant. Perkins was the leading home; run clouter of the league having made g already. The ambulance took him from Newfield to the Emergency where after treatment by Dr. Krause he was sent to his home on Saturday.
 The New York Giants on Saturday spoiled the grand record of Pitcher Ed Reulbach of the Chicago Cubs. Reul- bach had gone on for IA straight vic by Manager Chance till after the New York series. but the Giants used up so many of the Cubs pitchers that he had to be called on. The McGraw they never heard of him and he had to take his medicine.
 clouter Jack Collins of the Ponies has been sold to the Chicago Ameri- cans. and is to report in month. At present he is out of the game with a fractured jaw. but will make his re- appearance within two weeks. The have been $3.oOo. This was Collins first year in the Nutmeg league, com ing to Springfield from Marlboro, Mass. He started the season at sec ond base. but was later shifted to first where his play improved so much that he, he has become a star minor leaguer.
 It is a remarkable coincidence that ever since young William Bridges five of the MeadwodlarkS, became mascot of that team, they have not lost a single game. He is travelling the cir cult with the club now.
 The Boston Red Sox, not losing a contest last week, and within IT points of first place in the American league race open up for four days engage York today. So far the Bostonians have had the best of the arguments when these two teams have met.
 The Boston Nationals have chance of surprising all other teams in con- secutive defeats for 1909. They lost thirteen straight, then won a game, followed with six straight defeats be- fore they took a game from the Cubs, and then came right back with eleven straight losses before they took dou- ble-header from the Phillies.
 New York fans expect to see the Giants make a rousing finish. It is not impossible. considering the way they put the Cubs away The team has taken on a wonderful lease of new life since Cy Seymour resumed playing and MerkIe supplanted Ten ney at first base.

EAGLE RIVER VS. TOMAHAWK
Eagle River High School Team defeats
Tomahawk High Score s to o

Tomahawk High Score 6 to 0
The Eagle River High School
Football team went to Tomahawk
last Saturday and defeated that
team on their own grounds by
score of 6 to o.
It was hard fought game from
the start with the Eagle River
team little the strongest. The
halves were of 80 and p minutes
duration respectively. D. H.
LETTERS of Tomahawk refereed the
game with R. A. Woerfel of this
place as umpire. Following is
summary of the game:
Eagle River kicked off to Tom.
ahawk and both teams did stiff
scrimmage work. Tomahawk
tried some trick plays, but they
failed to work. Eagle River got
the ball on a tumble and with
clean straight football went down
the field. After p minutes Of
playing Eagle River made the on
ly touch down of the game, on
the second down. Englestead
kicked goal making the score g to
o, in favor OF Eagle River. The
next eight minutes of play the
teams see-sawed up and down the
field until time was called.
In the second half Eagle River
kicked off, but Tomahawk lost
the ball on tumble. Eagle Riv-
lost the ball on downs. Toma-
hawk repeatedly tried kicking,
and Englestead caught one and
returned forty yards. Eagle Riv-
er tried two drop kicks, but mis-
sed goal by couple of feet each
time. Both sides tried forward
passes, but with two exceptions
Eagle Rivers worked the best.
EngIestead made another long
return after receiving one of their
kicks. Both sides failing to score
during this half.
In the first half Eagle River
kept the ball in Tomahawk terri
tory and in the second half nearly
all the time. At no time was
Tomahawk within 40 yards of
Eagle River goal.
The Ragle River team played a
clean and snappy game all thru,
and if you take into consideration
the size of the schools, to pick
football material from, our home
team has made a most remarka-
BILE good showing against teams
from larger schools.
