RATH NOW GOES
TO EASTERN LEAGUE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-"Just an
other proof OF Connie Mack's toxi-
ness" was the comment today of Man
ager Stallings, of the New York High
landers. when he heard that Cleveland
had released infielder Rath to the
Baltimore team of the Eastern
League.
Only a few weeks ago, Mack. mana
ger of Philadelphia Athletics. pres
pectiye pennant-winners, traded hath
to Cleveland for Outfielder Lord. Rath
proved of no value to Cleveland while
Lord aided materially in giving the
Athletics their commanding lead. In
the Philadelphia Cleveland series just
ended. Lord won two of the games
by batting in the winning runs.
when 1t comes to judging players
Abilities" Stallings added, you can't
find anyone to beat Mack. He's devel-
oped more stars probably than any
other managers in the American
League"

Baseball Expert Says MlCk'S

CinChed
EXPECTS TEAM TO
WIN 80 MORE GAMES

Hugh S. Fullerton, baseball ex-
pert of the Chicago Examiner. has
this to say Of the Athletics chances
for winning the American League
pennant:
This is an amendment
1T is all over. The Athletics will
represent the American League in
the worlds championship series Of
1910. l think the Mackmen will finish
the season winning 9S and losing So
games. and that Boston will be lucky
to keep Detroit out of second place.
"A month ago 1t seemed to me Bos-
ton would win. The team was play
ing better ball than any club we en-
countered, hustiing, fighting, and
playing the inside game perfectly.
The weakness Of the pitching stan
seemed all covered up. There was
an element, however, unknown at that
time-the element was Taylor. the
owner OF the club. Just what inter
nal eruption happened do not know
but there was trouble.
Taylor deposed Lord, his field lead.
or and best man, then sent him home
and finally traded him. He shool
up the team. The next time we saw IL
the Boston team seemed a joke.
ut was not hustling, and did mo-
seem to be trying to force the pace
Chicago, with a makeshift team, beai
Boston four times, and Boston stop
ped and ceased to be a dangerous
factor.
Philadelphia just now is playinl
with the dash and confidence tina
comes TO a winning club. The pitch
ing staff is working, not better, bu
more steadily, and Mack has mor'
men at his command. He Will havl
Bender in top condition and Kraus'
back I'm shape within a short time
ready TO help out Coombs and Nor
gan, who have been bearing the brun
of the battle. Plank seems a trih
off. and ought to come stronger towar'
the finish.
with a lead of fourteen games
with forty-two more TO play. tn
Athletics have nothing to worry abou
now. except whether they can bea
the Chicago Cubs in the worlds ser
les. Even II they lose so per cent
of their remaining games they vii
win the pennant by a comfortabl
margin; and l feel certain that, goin
as they are. they will win nearl
thirty, and. If pushed, may improve o
that. They are, In their present form
the best club"

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Aug. 25.-The prompt
action of Squire Lovett in having ar
rested a crowd of disorderly persons
has pleased the people here. The re-
greet that is expressed is that the vio-
lators of the law escaped with too
small a fine.
DIR. Herbert ]. Watson, bacteriolo-
gist and pathologist Of the State
Board of Health, has been appointed
by the trustees of the college sani-
tary inspector. DR.. Watson will make
a thorough inspection of the dormi-
tories, dining rooms, kitchen, cellar
and other places of the college once a
week, II not oftener This will keep
the college in a healthy state.
Miss Elsie Wright entertained a
number of her friends at her home
the first of the week. Those present
were: Miss Badenkopf, of Baltimore;
Miss Meta MacSorley, Of Townsend;
Messrs. Daniel Jones. Archie Findley,
Hart Scott and Finley Scott, of Town
send.
Some one entered the home of Mr..
H. NJ. Campbell but nothing of import
ance was taken 1t was supposed that
the thief was looking for something to
eat. Some of the residents on West
Delaware avenue have been annoyed
by providers.
Many of the people have received
cards giving report Of the sanitary in
spection. The inspection was made
by Mr.. William Edgar. The condition
4 of the town generally is healthy, and
but little is feared of an epidemic of
typhoid.
A survey of the town is being made
by William T. Wilson. At late meet
ing of the committee appointed to in
vestigate the sewer question, Mr.. Will
son placed with that committee a
letter stating he would survey the
town at his own cost. It is likely
the survey will be laid before the COM
mittee at the next meeting.
