One of the most spectacular steals ever
pulled off at the hilltop was that OF
Daniels in the third stanza. He took a
big lead of third, and when Gray was
winding up Daniels got in motion and
actually stole the home bag while the
ball was passing from the pitcher to
Ainsmith. It was a STARTER.

Special. Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, October 1.-The
Maryland Agricultural College team this
evening simply walked all over Richmond
College in the first foot ball game Of the
season today. winning 20 to o. The local
team was heavier than the visitors, but
the latter were speedy. better trained
and played the game all the way through.
The new rules were given tryout, the
verdict being that the game has SUI
fered considerably. This contest, how
ever, was not one which served to form
a covert estimate of what is possible
There were fumties galore, both sides
making bum plays, Richmond pulling off
the greater number of bonehead stunts
Shipley was the star of the contest from
start to finish. His work was the one
redeeming feature, making long end runs
and knocking down many attempts at
forward passes. Richmond lost heavily
on practically every pass tried. Maryland
kicked off and four minutes later carried
the ball over on a series of end runs
Richmond making but feeble defense
Two of the place kicks were perfect as
was the field goal. The officials had
frequent recourse to the rules The
weather was oppressive. the thermometer
registering IS during the game, and the
men suffered a great deal.
The attendance was about 1000. No
men were injured during play, the calling
of substitutes being due to the firing of
the players.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. October Second
Baseman Johnny Evers OF the Chicago
Cubs was so badly injured here this
afternoon in the game with the Ginger
Men that he will not be able to return
to the diamond for the remainder of this
season. and unless the greatest, care is
taken with his injuries they may prove
fatal to mis- base ball career Tonight at
Christs Hospital it was said that his
ankle is broken and that this will take
many months to heal and enable him to
return to the game. The Chicago man.
agement has wired to that city for the
best doctor who can be secured. and he
will come here tomorrow morning to
have sole charge of Eyers while he is in
the hospital here.

of the game this evening. Evers was the
first man 10 the bat. tie was given his
base on balls. ShecKard sacrificed, Beebe
to Hoblitzel. Hoffman followed with a
single to deep center and Evers made a
dash for the plate. He slid for the base,
caught his foot in the plate, breaking
his ankle off as squarely as 1t could have
been done. He lay there screaming Tor

Cubs Heartbroken.
The accident has broken the hearts Of
the Cubs. Yet they are gritting their
teeth and saying that they will win the
worlds series from the Athletics without
the services Of one of the brainest play
ers in the national game. Such a de-
pressing effect did the accident have on
The players that they feel like FORGETTING

men in Cincinnati. No one can convince
them that hoodoo is not hanging over
the club in Cincinnati. Not oniy did
Eyers break his ankle but King suffered
badly bruised shin from one of Beebe's
wild pitches this afternoon, and Tinker
hurt his hand fielding grounder.
: Not only this. but Cole the young pitch

win at least two games from the Ath-
letics, was pounded to all parts of the
lot for fifteen hits.
While the loss of Evers is irrepar-
able said Manager Chance this even

Star representative, yet it has always

Charley Carr With Him.

1T may be news to you that the reason
Charley Carr quit the management Of the
American Association club in Indianapolis
was to take a position under me TO secure
the best players in the league. He knows
those players better than anybody else
and will be a valuable man in securing
the best that's to be gotten out OF the
association. Before the spring OF next
year We'll have one of the best lists Of
base ball men in this country for that
league, and next we'll play games In the
eight cities which will De a part OF that
league. Carr is to remain with me and
will be one OF my right-hand men. Any
body who says I'm foolish and that

salary of $l5,OOO and a bonus OF $2O,uuu,

man as a drawing card? The other day
