sixteen pound hammer in a dual meet
with the Carlisle Indians at Harrisburg,
Pa, on May last Talbot threw the
hammer 173 feet inches, and his rec

Of l64 feet 10 inches held by John r.
Dewitt, OF Princeton Talbot was also
credited with lettering DeWitt's AmerI-
can collegiate record Of 166 feet 3 inches.
Hans Berna, of Cornell, was credited

ord for the tWO-mile run, for which he
was timed in SIN. 20 3-5S., on May /, in
a dual meet with the University of

the American Association is going to
expand, which rumOr ordinarily is not
due until after the worlds series, but
seems TO have some earmarks OF being
the real thing.
The major leaguers who have studied
the question believe that Fletcher start

ed teams composed Of American and
country in good faith, and the rumpus
caused by the National Commission
putting the ban on that proposition
drew the attention Of the American As

ease with which major league ball
players could be persuaded to defy the
commission. The association has al
ways been FESTIVE and willing to break

The American Association Is already
in a position to break into Chicago,

available site there for a new park
Pittsburg Is regarded as rich faIlow
field. st. Paul and Minneapolis are so
situated geographically that they are
regarded as undesirable, because of the
long jumps required to reach them
Talk Of readjusting the circuit has been
going on for several years. and the
speculation and conjecture may now
take concrete form.
The cities in the American Associ-
alton are already big money-makers
and, with six of them to start with,
5000, 00O-which Fletcher is said to have
at his command-will make a pretty
udy sum 70 open rival parks in Chi
cago and Pittsburg and fight the com
mission. Such is the way some bright
citizens in major league circles are re-
garding the situation. and It is worth
considering, for the ultimate expansion
of the American Association has been
conceded by careful students Of the
game for a longer time than the pres
ent major league magnates think
President Tom Moves Of the Wash

morning with Johnson and Milan. They
talked over the situation Informally, but
there were 10 definite negotiations
about signing for next year. II is known
that both men win want good increases
based on their extremely good work
this year. Mr.. Noyes said the American
League owners were not worrying about
the new league, and that he did not
believe the movement of sufficient mag
nttude to discuss at length with the
players at this time.

That Which Followed.

THIS chapter that am going to
write is not the most sorrowful
account Of my adventures. and
yet, in beginning il, 1 experience
a sensation that resembles fear-a kind
of retrospective terror
1t is curious that after five years
cannot find any other words to express
til have a physical memory Of that
horrible night. Even now feel again
the terror creeping over me. NY hand
trembles; my pen cannot fOfm the
words. 1 have passed my hand across
my forehead. 1t is moist with per-
spiration. How stupid 1T is to have
this fear now, and fear OF what? To
relate in ali sincerity Addison Kings
ley's criminal act, of which l was the
victim.
Enough of hesitation! But must
be as brief as possible. My powers of
description are Inadequate TO describe
the suffering I endured.
l once heard OF a reporter who
pushed the monom2nia for describing
the exact details of horror to such an
extent that he risked hanging on the
gallows so as to be able to relate to
the readers of his newspaper, phase
by phase, the sensations he expert
enced during his dangerous expert
ment. But there is some suffering,
mental or physical, that cannot be de-
sCribed. However, l shall try.
Here Is, Drleny, what happened TO me:
I stood frozen with horror at the mil
lionaire's cynicism. No longer caring
for my personal safety, I was ready 70
spring at him, to fly at his throat, in
censed at the horror Of such an odious
crime, when at a sign from his master,
Bambou seized me in his two brawny
arms, paralyZing my movements in the
twinkling Of an eye, and threw me
down on the kitchen floor.
I had rot even time to utter a cry for
help. Besides, il would have been use
less, for who could come to my help il

JOHNSON RECEPTIVE
FOR "OUTLAW" BIDS
WashingonS Star Pitcher Admits Discussing Situation
With New League Promoters ASSocia-
y! ton May Be Behind the Move.
BY THOMAS S. RICE.

That Washington's star ball players
have by no means given up thinking
about the projected outlaw major
league, was proved today by state
ments of Walter Johnson and Clyde
Milan
Both Of these eminent athletes will
report in Cincinnati on the Saturday
following the last game Of the world
series, and ask the good Mr.. d. A.
Fletcher TO please slip them $500 right
away quiCk-pTOvided they find out in
advance that the checks for that sum
sent them by the said Fletcher are
collectable at their face value.
Fletcher's only condition in giving
out the checks was that the men
should be on hand on the date speci
fed.
Johnson admitted today that he had
been talking with a representative Of
the new league, who had made allur-
ing propositions which sounded good,
but said that he had signed no papers.
Johnson is after a larger salary from
the Washington club next year. and is
in a receptive mood as 20 money from
anybody who can show the goods far
enough ahead to warrant him IN TAX
ing the chances involved in bucking
the national commission. The same is
said 20 be true Of Milan and Charley
Street the other men sought by the
outlaw promoters Milan said he
was going after that 500 for the all
star tour. but he was not spending II
in advance. He seemed to think there
might be a doubt about getting the
coin, although he had been assured
that II. he had to do was to report.
Magnates Waking Up.
D. A. Fletcher, the protector Of the
new league, is assuming somewhat
larger proportions, in view Of the
fact that several men with major
league berths of much weight have
taken his rather seriously. The mag
mates are deriding Fletcher. and his
whole scheme looks ChimeriCal, but an
agile has arisen which may make him
a real factor.
The belief has arisen in many quar-
tiers that the real hackers Of the Fetch
er scheme are the American AsSOci-
alton magnates, or a faction of them

PATROL AUTOCOURSE
IN PARAMOUNT PARK
BY HARRY WARD.

With thirty-two highpOwered automo-
biles entered for the 2O0-riIe road race
in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, today.
this years renewal OF the big event
promises TO make history for the Quaker
City.
The officials Of the Quaker City Mo-
tor Club, " hich is promoting the event,
have been working day and night 10
make the affair stand out prominently
in the motor world, and there is every
indication their efforts will meet with
success. To begin with, they have got
ten the cooperation Of the city officials
in properly policing the course. More
than 800 policemen will be on hand TO
see that the curiosity seekers do not
butt into the danger line. and as the
members Of the Philadelphia police
force are noted for their hUskiness,
contestants and spectators may expect
a safe and sane race. With the death
dealing management Of the Vanderbilt
Cup race fresh in the memory Of mo-
florists, the action Of the Quaker City
management in providing ample protec-
ton is highly commendable. The rules
laid down for the conduct Of the spec
tators prescribe that they will Mt be
permitted to gather at any point where
there is even a remote possibility of an
accident.
Parking spaces on the west river
drive between the roadway and the
canal, in Paramount Park, have been
refused as a further precaution should
8 racing car overrun the course. Other
precautionary measures have been taken
and, as a result, a Clean-cut race. de-
void of accidents, should result. The
thirty-two entrants will run in five di-
visions-the winner in each division be-
ing given $1,000 in cash and, a Philadel-
phia trophy valued at $500 In addition
there will be a grand prize Of $3.50 fol-

 At the Sunday School hour a temporary organization of a Ba- raca bible class was made with ten members. About seventy five invitations were mailed last week to every friend of the church to join this class and it is hoped that a large number will be present. as a permanent or ganization will be perfected. This class offers the best method for the Bible study and will prove great help to all who officiate.
