owner of the Indianapolis American Asso-
citation team, negotiated a dead here yes
terday with President Free of the York
Tri-State base ball team, by which
Lefty" George. the college pitcher, be-
comes the property of that team. The
consideration is private. although it is
known that more than twice the amount
offered by the ST. Louis Nationals was
received for him.
Ira Thomas Of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics and Tom DAILY of the Brooklyn
team were here to deal for George yes
terday afternoon. but the purchase was
made before they arrived
Lowe of the Detroit team got as far as
Philadelphia, when President Free in
formed him that George had been sold.
Thomas and DAILY saw George pitch the
game against Reading yesterday after
noon and thought very favorably of him.
When the popular pitcher came to the
bat he was presented with a thirty-hve-
dollar rife for making six three-base hits.
Shortly after he swatted the ball to left
field making his seventh three-bagger.

made off him in the game.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 29.-At last
the gloom which settled over Philadel-
phia three days ago has been lifted, and
the local base ball fans feel bit more
like talking about base ball. The hope
which springs eternal has sprung, and
Yesterdays victory over Washington by
4 to o has restored lot of confidence
in the croakers who foresaw certain dis
aster because the White Elephants had
lost three straight games. 1t took the
great "Jawn" Coombs to turn the trick,
however. and he had to pitch one of his
best games of the year to down the per-
sistent Nationals. He passed only one
man and famed seven and used all the
speed at his command. Outside of a par
donable error by Baker he received per-
feet support, and there was never time
when the Nationals looked like scoring.
1t was hard luck for Groom to lose
the game. although the two taliies in
the seventh were earned. He held the
leaders to four hits ard the two which
came in the seventh were both sent to
the same part of the field. The other
two hits didn't cut much figure, errors
by Lelivelt being responsible for the
other brace of runs. ashington's game
was almost as good as the two previous
ones. and stamps the team dangerous

Aleer's master hand can easily be seen

sion here is that he will give the Wash
1ngton public a winning team within a

RACING
FOR LITTLE PURSES
Former Owner of Tracks Is
Campaigning Small String
in Montana.

+. edward Corrigan is chasing the two
hundred-dollar overnight purses in Utah
and Montana as seriously these days as
he did the derbies, stakes and handicaps
dozen or more years ago. 1t is strange
what d1fference few years will make.
Corrgan at one time was one of the
strongest factors on the American turf
He was interested in more race tracks
than any other individual. raced one of
the biggest stables of horses conducted a
breeding farm of his own; employed the
best of trainers and the highest-pric
Jockeys. He was worth more than
S1.W1,OtO If one cent. He was in more turf
wars than any other turf magnate and
generally came out best.
His start down the toboggan slide OF
financial ruin was when racing was closed
in Chicago in 1904. He was the principal
owner of the Hawthorne track. Its clos
ing was a great financial loss Then fol-
lowed the closing of the Elmridge track
in Kansas City. in which Corrigan was
heavily interested. Then followed the war
between the American Turf Association
and the Western Jockey Club at New Or
leans over the entrance of his new track.
City Park
He represented the American Turf AS
turf affairs In the west, but very seldom
heard Of since the Kentucky racing COM
mission came into existence. That last
turf war practically broke Corrigan. He
brought his big stable to Latonia that
spring, but did not win enough to pay the
feed bill Of his horses.
Two years ago he began to dispose of
his racers and breeding stock. Last win
ter he asked the bankruptcy court at
Lexington to relieve him of his debts. A
number of Cincinnatians held some of his
notes, amounting to more than $4,000 A
few months after he was declared bank
rupt Corrisan acquired couple of ordi-
nary platers at Jacksonville. Fla. and
started out in small way to earn his
living like the thousands of others who
are In the racing game. He raced his
horses at the recent Salt Lake City meet
ing and won a number of small purse
races.
Corrigan is no longer a factor. but a
plain. ordinary turfman, and no one is
happier of the fact than he. The former
Master Of Hawthorne" as he was re-
ferred to in the old days. made many enc
mics through his domineering tactics. but
today they are the first to show him SYM
pathy.

Games Greatest Pitcher.

who is one Of the three great third base
men. The other two are Byrne and Dew.
lin
Pirates Weakness.
Evers says the Pirates pitchers are not
strong enough to beat the Cubs. and
their batting strength is too much for the
other teams.
He picks the Giants to finish third on
account of their pitchers and hitters. Ev-
ers pays Mathewson a high compliment.
He says: I'm my estimation Mathew
son is about the greatest man that ever
tossed a base ball. / consider him the
best pitcher today.
The Cubs would rather go against Mat
hewson than against any other great
pitcher, Evers says. because he always
pitches for the plate and does not try
to scare a batter by throwing at his
head or shins. Mattys style gives the
Cubs confidence and they are always
willing to take chance on hitting him
often enough to win.
He Roasts Giants.
Evers roasts the Giants for playing
the old win at any cost, but win" game.
He says the Giants try to get hit and
use ether obsolete and unsportsmanlke
tactics on their home grounds. This
makes them a different team at home
lhdL on the road, and harder to beat at
home.
Cincinnati lacks pitchers now, but will
be a great team in a couple of years
Ever: predicts. Philadelphia will finish
fifth on account of interference by the
owners. ST. Louis is a shade better than
Brooklyn, he says. and Boston has bet
ter team than last season, but not a good
che.
He Prefers Tigers.
Evers prefers the Tigers because they
have won most of their games with the
Athletics. He says Boston has a fine
chance. The Yankees are hard to guess,
he says, because of the sudden develop
meat Of pitching strength.
The White Sox are the biggest disap-
rointment. to Evers' way of thinking, be-
case OF their pitching strength. White,
Walsh. Smith, Olmstead and Young are
great pitchers. he says.
Ea picks Cleveland, Washington and
st. Louis to finish in the order named.

John J. Evers. the brilliant thinker, and
regarded by many men as the best sec
ond-sa cker in the business, picks the
Tigers to land the American League pen
nant this year, and in the same article,
published in the Metropolitan Magazine
for August, he declares that it is 2-to-1
bet that Chicago will land the National
League flag, SO, if Johnny's predictions
come true, the Tigers and Cubs will be
fighting out third world series next Oc-
tober.
He predicts the National League clubs
will finish as follows: Chicago. Pittsburg.
New York Cincinnati. Philadelphia, st.
Louis, Brooklyn and Boston.
Il would bet TO 1 that Chicago wins. -
Evers says. Il frankly believe the race
is over.
THE Cubs have been far below their
real stride, because they have been play
ing their worst ball for five years. and
the pitching staff has been the weakest
for three years, due to the late spring
holding the veterans back. Brown,
Overall and Reulbach will round to form
and be as good as ever. Cole, Mcintyre
and Pfeffer have strengthened the pitch
ing staff, and Kroh, young southpaw,
who has been with the team two years, is
rounding INTO one Ol inc pest leIt-ildiu-
erS.
A Big Advantage.
Then again, We have an immense ed
vantage over any other team because we
have good emergency men who can fill
positions almost If not quite as we'll as
the regulars themselves.
Perhaps the most important reason
why the Cubs should win is that we have
Frank Chance, the best leader of men in
base ball. Chance stands for teamwork.
for the spirit of the team and for hustlinS
and working all the time.
There has been lot of talk about
our condition this year: they say that
king has seen his best days and that
Steinfeldt and some of the others are
getting old. Such statements are silly.

w. W. Barbour. the New York million
aire who is mentioned as the hope of the
white race in getting the championship
away from Jack johnson, is getting him
self in line for a good beating. The top
strata of society has never furnished any
prize ring champions. There may be good
athletes furnished from this source, and
even boxers, but fighters, never.
Coal miners, blacksmiths and boilermak-
ers are more apt to make champions than
sons of society. Barbour may be clever
boxer, and perhaps game enough to take
chance with Johnson. but 1t is hard to
believe that he is a fighter. That class of
