Standing of the Teams.

The Tigers are closing up the
base ball season in Tacoma with
a worlds record.
Saturday they travelled thir-
teen innings, and little Jack War
rem broke up the game and won
for Tacoma on three-bagger and
a squeeze in which Mott hunted
him home.
Yesterday they played the
league leaders of Spokane to
standstill for eighteen innings,
and then lost in the nineteenth,
when the Indians jumped on Nc
Camment for a bunch of hits.
The game yesterday was the rec
ord game of this league this sea-

than two whole games to settle
the supremacy of the teams. Nc
Camment and Jess Baker were
the opposing pitchers, and after
the Indians in the nineteenth had
pounded in three runs, making the

BIG LEAGUE CASTOFFS WIN A. A. PENNANT FOR MINNEAPOLIS
BY G.. A. Barton.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept.
1.-THE American Association
pennant has been won for Mime
apolis by a team of castoffs.
From manager down the team
is composed of men who weren't
considered good enough for the
big leagues - but they went
through the association like wa
ter through a fire hose.
A regular "ha, ha" re-echoed
around the American association
when Joe Cantillon's 1910 lineup
appeared. Reverberations were
heard in big league cities. Poor
joe" laughers said. The Millers
were hailed as "old spavs," "old
timers" 1.-The down-and-out club"
and by other indicative titles.
At first the experts" appeared
to be right for Minneapolis looked
bad. The team got away like a
one-lunged gas boat-wheezing.
The creak of joints sounded like
an orchestra of castinets playing
rag time.
But when they did come the
Millers came fast and landed in
first place to stick like a poor re-
lation.
Minneapolis has won the PEN
nant with sterling batting, base
running and fielding. The pitch
ing hasn't been first class. Can
tillon has a stable of good pitch
ers, but lame arms and sickness
have played havoc all year.
Tom Hughes, former Washing
ton pitcher, is the association
star, and has accomplished Won
ders for the team. Nick Altrock,
ex-White Sox; Roy Patterson
and Louis Fienne have done we'll
considering their disability. Bill
Lolivelt, former Tiger, is the fifth
Miller pitcher.
But the offense and fielding
have turned the trick. Men like
Dave Altizer. x-Nap, ex-senator
and ex-White Sox; Otis Clymer,
ex-Pirate and ex-senator; Cab
by Cravath, ex-Red Sox, ex-Sen-
ator and ex-White Sox; Jimmy
Williams, ex-Brown; Hobe Ferris,
ex-Red Sox and ex-Brown, and
Claude Rossman, ex-Nap and ex-
Tiger, have cinched the bunting.
Altizer left the big leagues be-
cause he wasn't up to class" At
short he is now the best man in
the association, leads in stolen
bases and his batting is sensa=
tional. Comiskey gets him again
next year.
Cravath leads the batters in
the association. He has been
hitting around $40 all esason.

From a New York paper !
learn that Capt. De Nyse of the
New York aquarium has seined
the lake in Prospect park, catch
ing a large number of perch and
carp. The carp were killed. The
article stated the authorities in
tend to exterminate the carp.
Fine! 1t is to be hoped au-
thorities in other sections will take
this rather broad hint and follow
suit. The carp has no excuse. 1t
should not be permitted to exist.
1t is a pest, like the house fly.
This fresh water hog is the
greatest danger the game fish of
our fresh waters have to contend
with. Since its introduction in
this country in the early sos, at
the suggestion of more foolish
than wise government fisheries de-
partment official, it has driven
bass, perch, pickerel and other
game fish from their former habi-
tat, and in some sections almost
exterminated them.
Many men, believing implicitly
the government experts opinion,
stocked streams and ponds with
carp. 1t wasn't long before some
escaped. Later, the victims, real
izing the carp were good only for
hog food, emptied their ponds in
disgust.
Today, in many waters, carp
abound. They thrive where decent
fish die. They wallow in the mud
like swine, and their meat, soft.
dirty loking, is unfit for human
being to eat.
Not only has the caro- driven
game fish from every locality
where they exist, but their root
ing has destroyed hundreds of
thousands of acres of wild rice
beds, which in former years
proved an attraction to the count
less flocks of ducks in their mi
gratory flights.
The carp has no value, senti-
mental or commercial, save to a
very, very few men who raise
them to sell among the poor of
eastern cities. In the middle west
where they prevail, carp are fed
to the hogs.
The government is at the bot
tom of the carp pest. II the fish
cries department hadn't recon-
mended its propagation we
wouldn't be cursed with 1t today.
Being responsible, morally, at
least, the government ought to
get rid of the carp, not merely to
satisfy anglers. but because the
carp seriously threatens to in time
wipe out that most delectable of
dishes. the great lakes whitefish.
Conservation of our game fish
and a government war on the carp
would be welcome. With steam
travis, the great lakes could be
swept free of the water hogs and
the game and food fish given a
chance to increase naturally.
Not only in the great lakes and
streams should the carp
be wiped out, but in public water,
stream and lake where IL exists 1t
should be exterminated.

Nineteen Inning Game
Victory for Indians

stepped to the plate.
This certainly was a pitching
feat of some moment. For a
twirler to go nineteen innings
and then strike out the last three
men up is a record that probably
has not been duplicated in the his
tory of base ball.
Spokane took a run in the Sec
ond inning at the start, and Ia
coma tied it up in the third. From
that time on it was one, two,
three and out for 3 innings.
But in the nineteenth Frisk
started with a two-bagger. This
McCamment, and Cooney
put on nthe same place for three
bases. Cartwright singled, and
after Nordyke and Netzel had been
of Hetling hit the fence
and there were three runs over
the plate.
And Tacoma could not come
back.

The appeal to the Connecticut su- preme court of errors has been per fected in the case of state vs. Moses GoIdfaden and David Gordon This is the famous bond wire case in which the accused were found guilty of the theft of. copper wire by purchasing it from men who stole it and were given reasons given for taking the case to the higher court
 The defendants claim in their ap- peal that the court erred in sustaining former acquittal of the crime charged: :: in ruling at the hearing of the defend ants motion in arrest of Judgment that the value of the wire was not an es- sential part of the offense to be al- legged and proved; in not ruling that the verdict of the jury of guilty was yitiated and invalid by reason of their not finding and reporting with the yer dict the value of the property stolen; in not ruling that the reassenbling of the jury and their finding on the value was illegal: in inquiring of the jury on their reassembling what had been done in the. jury room; in overruling the defendants motion in arrest; in not the record of conviction of Herman Gertz for stealing the copper as af- fecting his credibility; in admitting the testimony Of Gertz that he made an affidavit at Plainfield accusing David Gordon and other defendants: in excluding two questions asked of David HandIeman; in not instructinz the jury that the copper wire was united with the rails of the Norwich and Worcester road and is their prop erty instead of the New Haven roads; in not ruling that the defendants could not be convicted on the information for stealing copper bond wire if it ap- peared that the wire had been real es-
