Wayne Council claimed a game from
Essex Council By forfeit in a Jr. O. y.
A. M. League contest. The following Is
the correct version of the affair. Wayne
appeared on the ground prepared to
play the ga1ne Essex only had two
men, and the manager notified me that
he a seven men who were not reg
istered players and not members of the
Jr. Q. u. A. NJ. The rules Of the league
state that q player must be a member
of the organization and a member of
the lodge playing in order to be
eligible to play in any league game
In view of these facts Wayne played
the game with the understanding that
same was forfeited, and / rave in my
possession a communication from Es-
sex signifying their withdrawal from
the league. The following is the Of
6cial standing to date.

and a new tail-ender in the Eastern
League race today. Both changes are
the result of yesterdays doubIe-heade
at Providence. The Grays have rue
the bottom and the Hustlers are in the
sky parlor.
Thirteen batsmen kept time to the
anvil chorus with their wand at Jersey
City Yesterday. Frill and Taylor whitfield
a half-dozen and vowinkle had one
strikeout.
Here's how the hits made
by Newark We're scattered yesterday:
Louden 4. Getteman and Kelly 3. Never
2. Zimmerman 2. Ganley 2. McGfhnity 1.
Zimmerman and Meyer had two-bass
swats.
Meyer was the only one of Newark's
four pinch hitters to hit safely yester-
day. Benny batte6 for Agler and then
played second, while Schla1y went to
first. Larry made his first error in
that position yesterday when he muffed
a throw.
Pitcher Dank, the diminutive hurIer
on Billy Smiths staff, got his profess
sional start in H~onesdale, Pa. Christy
Mathewson did likewise. VIII history

Schneider.
1t was said that Jack Dunn was
thinking Of signing Bill Bradley. the
Cleveland star released outright LAST
week. but Jack denies. Bradley still
desires a high-class salary for his serv-
ices.

NOTES AND GOSSIP Rsz4zss " e. MDs s1,c TIE

Was 1t a "merciful Providence. that
allowed the Rochester team to win
two just when the Leafs were defeat
ing the Tigers?
Big George Mcconnell was touched
up harder by the Grays than he has
in a long while. The Collins crew made
five runs and eight hits off the lanky
one.
Arndt is a name hat gets into the
extra-base column quite frequently of
late. He had three hits in the two
games yesterday, including a two
Dagger.
Montreal defeated Andy Coakley's
Paterson team yesterday at the Silk
City by a 6-2 score. Catcher Hardyaof
the Royals. was hit by one of Wiggs's
wild pitches, which struck his shin, and
made it impossible for him to walk.
Coakley was sold to the Montreal Club
by Louisville some time ago, but re-
fused to report because Of salary diff
ferences.
Jack Frill hung it onto the Bisons
yesterday at Jersey City by a "a score.
Charley landlord again distinguished
himself with the stick. Three hits were
Charley's contribution.
Even the Providence players dislike
to play at Rocky Point. 1t is situated
on N-arragansett Bay, opposite New
ball there is like playing on the sum-
nit of the Rocky Mountains.
Ward, the Hustler third-sacker. got
three hits in the second game at Rocky
Point yesterday He had a double in
the first.
oddly enough, there is a new leader

was 1:57 is and Kiviat's mark 1:57 AS.
Mel announced that he was going after
the 600-yard record next Sunday and
the two-thirds OF a mile record at the
knights of Columbus games August 20.

Snodgrass batted over 800 last week,
and as a result his average is .376, only
seven points behind Ty *Grouch" Cobb.
The Georgian peach had better quit
the crouch or the converted Giant
catcher will have a strangle hold ON
that automobile.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening STAR
l do no wish to knock the Newark
club, but I think If McGinnity would
give his other pitchers a ham his
team would be in first place with a
greater lead.
No pitcher can keep in shape without
steady work, which they will not get
on the Newark team. If a pitcher got
his bumps in the early part of the game
McGinnity will relieve him n get
credit for a win. If they lose the other
pitcher gets credit for a lost game.
This is how McGinnity has such a good
record.
McGinnity will never get good crowds
while he pitches. The fans are sick of
watching him. 1t is as bad as the old
Pardee and Shea battery. I remain a
friend of McGinnity. A FAN.
We publish this, not as an indorse-
ment of this mans views, but just to
show there is one more who won't sign
his name to a e~riticism.-Ed.

ELL, we are dislodged from the

thought thai 1t is another case of a

Frank Dwyer, ones of the Detroit
scouts, claiming that George Simmons,
last year with the champion Rochester
team, was his man. This is absolutely
wrong. Johnny Kelly, the Newark

got Simmons for Detroit. The writer
accompanied the Tigers on their last
trip around the circuit last year. One
day while playing Rochester in he
Flower City Simmons made a great
home run drive that opened Kelly's
eyes. Johnny Simmons and the writer
