CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH CUPS MAY
 BE COMPETED FOR
Industrial League Makes Rules to Guide Aspirants For Kinder Trophies.

The directors of the Industrial lea- que last evening, besides taking up the matter of the Yost's games did away with a great deal of other business, including the adoption of a plan for the distribution of cups to players for batting averages. A committee has been out for some time on this ruling while a number of so called official statements nave appeared, regarding the disposition of the cups. The fol- lowing is the only official statement that has appeared so far, and the one that was adopted at the meeting last evening:
 To the pitcher: He must pitch in at least eight games and can try for only one cup. He must notify the secre- tary which cup he is trying for. This is in the case of men, who at times, play other positions and might try, for instance, for the infielder's cup in- stead of the pitchers cup.
 To the catcher: He must catch in at least ten games under the same conditions as mentioned for the pitch CT.
 To the inf1eIder and outf1elder: They must play in at least fifteen games. No player can contest for more than one cup and he must be particular to notify the secretary which cup he in- tends trying for.
 This ruling refers to the disposition of the four cups offered by Bob Kinder for the best batting pitcher, catcher infielder and outEelder.

COLLINS LEADS
 ALL EATERS
Wagner Heads National League Hitters
 Batting Averages

Eddie Collins. of the Athletics, main- tains his position at the head of the American league batters, but, a new aspirant is pushing him at the top of the list. Killifer, the Tiger second baseman, who has supplanted Ger many Schaefer, and who waIloped the bali here last Sunday for two two baggers and a triple. is batting like a whirlwind, but it remains to be seen if he can keep it up as the Quaker youngster has been doing. Collins work with the ash is the wonder of the season, clipping around the .360 mark, being ahead of the terrible Dutchman. Cobb and Lajoie are a safe distance in the rear of Collins, so, that he need not worry for while. Danny Hoffman, Danny Murphy and Pat Dcugherty, all former Connecticut leaguers are well up with the leaders. Those better than 27O follow:

HOLYOkE WINS FROM ORATORS
 NOW LEADERS
Springfield Union.)

Holyoke, Aug. 4.-Lumping their larrups in three innings, behind the superfine singing of Artemus Romer, Kid McCormack's popular candidates for the championship gamboled off the green yesterday afternoon with an- ther much needed game when they digested the sugary section of a 5 to 1 score in a slow setto with Uncle Jeems'' ORourke's tailenders. The residents of the last dwelling on Per centage alley got real gay in the first inning when they hopped ahead with a tally, but after being overtaken and passed in the fourth there was no oc- casion for further alarm regarding the result, as MT. Romer and his as sistants had by that time struck their stride and were well able to keep the lovely herd in subjection.
 Every run that went to the locals was well earned by good base running and proper use of the wallop furni- ture. Though Gibbs is rated the best wasn't a bit effective in the places where pinch hits were needed by the Papermakers to puncture the home plate Four domestic clubbers clout- ed him for safeties in the spots where sure slams were wanted, Baker, Ahearn, Burke and Perkins being the ones to produce the punches that pushed around all the runs. Baker SSpeCldAy ndu OlpDS SOdl, SCllluS lO him for three sharp singles in four hikes to the batter's box. Though Perkins peeled off but one safety he made that a four-bag ticket, and it came with a man on. Besides being active with the stick, Baker showed his speed on the paths, when he pinched two bases on the strong-wing- ed Kocher and really had a third, but lost it through Ump O'Brien's poor eyeSight.
 Romer's wing was still cold when he sent up a soft shoot to Steinhauser and that young man cracked it into left for two bases. Bannon sacrificed perfectly and Stein took third, Hilt then hammered out a single, and Steinhauser scored. By this time Ro- mer'S whip had steamed up and Ladd popped to McCabe and Miller forced Hit at second. Romer rolled the rest of the distance without encountering any serious instructions. Four hits were all that he gave after that and whatever difficulty he did meet was largely of his own making.
 Sweeney started the fifth with single. Kocher famed, Gibbs got a scratch hit and Steinhauser forced Sweeney at third, Ramon winding up with a whiff. It was the same in the seventh when Sweeney was passed and took second on a wild pitch, the next three going down in order. Bannon drew a pass in the eigth and made second when Romer threw wide to Duggan at first. Hilt famed and the next two grounded out in order.

State Police at War
 With Federal Authorities

Provincetown. Mass, Aug. 4-Com- plications between the State and Fed eral authorities are probable as the re- suit of a refusal by Admiral Schroeder of the Atlantic fleet to surrender Da- vid w. Williams to answer for the death of IF. H. Foster, a mess attend ant on the batt1eship Vermont, who died after bout with Williams on that vessel When Detective Brad ford of the State police demanded Williams of the naval authorities to answer a charge of manslaughter, Ad- miral Schroeder in refusing to give the man up to the State authorities stated that he did not deny the jurisdiction of the State, but that the government had instituted an inquiry and he wished to wait until that investigation had been concluded before acting fur ther in the matter.
 He promised Bradford that he would notify him as to the result of the in- quiry and as to whether he would give up Williams. It was stated that if the man will not be surrendered by Admiral Schroeder, Attorney General Malone will take the matter up with the authorities at Washington.

HARRY LUMLEY MAD
PUT OUT OF BALL GAME FOR FIRST TIME IN NINE YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL PLAY
 ING
Especial from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 Pittsburg. Aug. 4.-Put out of a baseball game for the first time in his nine years of professional playing, Harry Lumley, the manager and right fielder of the Brooklyn team, is today convinced that the old adage about a soft answer turning away wrath is a nice bit of fiction. Lumley is fight ing mad today that Umpire Hank O'Day should have spoiled his won derful record merely because he re- marked-like a perfect gentleman, too, he says,-that Miller was out in yes- terday's game with the Pirates when O'Day had called him safe. But al- though mad, Lumley says he is also wiser and says hereafter he will go after the umpires like 'Muggsey" Me Graw and will use hard-boiled lan- guage instead of courtesy.

Vigilant Leads Fleet
 Into New London

New London, Aug. 4.-William B. Iselin's yawl Vigilant, the old Amer ica's cup defender, led the Seawanhaka and Philadelphia Corinthian Yacht Clubs fleet of twenty-seven yachts in- to New London harbor yesterday aft ernoon. She sailed against the best time of the schooners, and although she finished F minutes 23 seconds ahead of the Muriel and covered the thirty -eight-mile course in hours 10 minutes and 30 seconds, she was beaten on time allowance by minutes 36 seconds Cord Meyers Altair won from Aspirant and Dorello, but Aspir- ant wins in her class from Dorwina in 1 minute seconds.
 The race from Morris Cove to Bart let's Reef Lightship in an easterly breeze was an interesting contest for sixteen of the yachts that finished be- fore 4 o'clock. Then the wind died out and left the other eleven in the doldrums, showing the importance of making an early start, when the run is a long one. It was long after sum- down when the last yacht came drift ing to the finish line.
 At sundown the Regatta committee hoisted red signal lights on board the Oneida, and waited for the becalmed yachts to finish. Former Commodore D. c. Benedict gave dinner on board the Oneida last night for the Commo- dores of the two clubs, Frank H. Gould and F. Walter Clark The start for Newport was made this morning.

Shoots Chicago Couple
 Then Kills Himself
from United Press

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The police are to- day trying to ascertain the motive that caused Steve Eiser, of Steelton, Pa, to shoot and kill Mrs. Kate Cor itz and her husband, George Goritz and to end his own life last night. 1t is believed that letters written by Mrs. Goritz to Eiser asking him to come to Chicago to live had something to do with the tragedy. Eiser arriv- ed last night and went to find the Goritz family. They were approach ing their boarding house when Eiser shot them both to death and then committed suicide.

PURSE OF $lOO,0OO
FIGHT PROMOTERS BIDDING HEAVILY FOR THE JEFF RIES-JOINSON BAT,
 TILE
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 New York, Aug. flight promoters are beginning already to bid for the Jeffries-Johnson fight. Jeffries today received a tentative offer from a pro- moter in Fort Worth, Tex, wanting to know if a $100000 purse would be big enough to get the fight. The message was SO worded to make the fighter believe an even larger purse would be offered if that was not sufficient.
 Mcintosh, the man who pulled off the JohnSon-Burns go in Australia, will bid for the battle, though it is hardly possible that Jeffries will agree to go to his club Several western clubs are known to be preparing bids and will make an offer if there is a chance to have the battle arranged in their fa- VOr

While Wagner stands at the head Of the National League hitters at this stage of the game, he has receded sew era1 points during the week, and has not as large a margin as formerly. There is not a player in the older or ganization who seems to be in the same class with the Dutchman, and the most natural hitter in the game will not have any fear of losing his top place.
