Before the start Of the second heat,

well until the stretch was reached.
Then he did not respond to his driv-

home this trip by Major Mallow, that
won the third heat by neck from

rush OF Major Mallow caused George

CANTILLION MAKES
ANOTHER MISTAKE

Washington, Sept. Manager Joe
Cantillon of the Washington club, the
man who is given credit for discover
ing the New York's teams alleged
trickery in having the opposing catch
ers' signs tipped off to its batsmen,
appears to have made another mistake.
According to Joe, he knew what was
going on at the HighlandeTs' park as
long ago as June. He conhded his sus-
picions to Jerry Eddinger, trainer OF
the senator's, and together they made
Investigations which proved the New
Workers were not winning games on
their merits.
Joe's mistake was on his failure to
disclose what he knew just as soon as
he discovered it. Instead Of doing so.
he waited until last Thursday when
he revealed the knowledge to Hugh
Jennings, manager of the tigers, who
were to open a series on the yankees
card the following day.
There is lot back of Cantillon's
revelation and reason for them. Ac-
cording to information received here,
the, Washington club had decided to
engage him as manager for another
season despite reports to the contrary.
A meeting of the board of directors
was held and Joe was appointed leader
of the club for 1910 to succeed himself.
When this was made known to the
owners OF other American league clubs
protests against his reappointment
were filed by three ma gnates.
Then, according to the story, Presi-
dent Johnson Informed the Washington
directors that these protests had been
made, with the result the owners Of
the team here, reconsidered and decided
it would be best to secure another
manager.
CantiHon, of course, was made aware
Of what had gone on, and he set out
to ascertain who had knocked" him.
He was shown statements from four
owners, Coniskey of Chicago, Hedges
of st. Louis, Taylor of Boston and
Navin of Detroit All of these were
boosts Naturally Joe then figured
from Cleveland, New York and Phila-
delphia. He could find out nothing
concerning the action Of the Cleveland
club, but claims to have discovered
that Manager Stallings of New York
had brought charges against him Of
disloyalty to the American league,
founded on some statements Joe had
made, regarding what ne would do il
the American association and Eastern
league declared war on the majors. He
Is said to believe that Philadelphia
was his most bitter foe, however
Harry Davis was being boosted as
prospective manager of the senators,
and the owners Of the athletic team
were said to be pulling for Harry to
land the job. Furthermore, there has
been bitterness between Manager Can
tillon and the Philadelphia players
during the last few weeks, the athletics
claiming that Cantillon was trying to
beat them out of the pennant by using
his best pitchers against. them, while
he was laying down to Detroit. Thus
II will be seen that Cantillon did not
have much affection either for STALL
ings or for Connie Mack
