TIMELY TWINKLES OF THE DIAMOND STARS.

Lou Criger's attack of appendicitis is
said o to be as serious as was eX-
pected, and he is slated to join the
Yanks this week.
Baseball scouts on the Pacific coast
are marveling about a college pitcher
at Montrose, Col, who recently struck
out every one of the twenty-seven men
who faced him in a nine-inning game
against Hotchkiss. He won h game,
2 to 0.
Eddie Stack, the pitcher released by
Manager Chance, of the Cubs. to Phil
adelphia, has won four games and
lost none. and is the only Philadelphia
pitcher having a clean record. 1t
only proves that the best of EN- make
mistakes in Judgment.
When Josh Devore was put out OF
the game in New York last week for
participating in that pevlin mix-up II
was the first time in his baseball
career that he had been banfshed from

way, has scored more runs than any
other Natfonal player.

The Leafs are going fast and the
Tigers will have to hustle. Wyatt Lee
is anxious to get another crack at his
former teammates.
Kelley will use Rudolph, MCKINLEY,
and Smith against the Tigers. This
trio has been pretty lucky so far In the
games with the Bengals. Newton,
Corey, and Carroll are also on the
Leafs payroll.
Bill Louden is suffering from malaria
fever.
Laffitte was slightly spiked by Agler
on one occasion, and he also collided
with Hearne. It's nobody's fault that
the big fellow is in his W way.
Bill Clancy, who has been GU OF

~ Llf1OO1f1 lut LiBoio oSt W
- R~ochesterday yesterday, 4 to 0,
the series between the clubs
stands six to five in favor of Newark.
The Hustlers, by their victory, passed
Toronto and now have a viewpoint lead
over the Leafs. The locals are just
two dozen points ahead Of the Camel
ties. Long John" had 1t all Inquired
out to take the lead from the Bengals,
but he went away sadly disappointed.
Ed taftte, the tall, lean, lanky char
was the chief stumbling block to the
Tigers. He pitched a fine brand OF ball,
and two hits by Johnny Kelly were all
that the Tigers made. Joe McGinnity,
who beat the Hustlers on Thursday
and pitched the final inning against
them on Saturday, went In again yes
terday, and under ordinary c
stances would have given his opponents
a battle and, perhaps, another drub-
bling.
There was nothing doing until the
fourth. Dan Moeller, the former Skeet-
err. was the first batter. He had two
and-two'' on him. When the iron

haired German put the wood to 1t n

BASEBALL FOR BENEFIT
OF THE STAR ICE FUND.

For the benefit of the STAR Ice and
Outing Fund, teams representing the
Turnpike Social Club and the Forest
Hill County League Club will play a
game of baseball at Wiedeninayer's
Park on Friday afternoon, July IL. The
Forest Killers have been setting the
pace for some time, while the Turn
pike nine is said to be a strong aggre-
cation. The game ought to develop
into an interesting contest, and, as the
cause is a worthy one, a large attend
ance is expected.

-HERE is q gang of
I, that perform at Wiedenmayers
Park at every game the Iiseie
play. They should be chased from INC
park. In the first place, they and thelr
noise are a nuisance to the decent men
who have the welfare of the team AT
heart. In the second place, the
gamblers make the grandstand look
cheap. and in the third p~lace-this Is
tho real reason for our dislike OF them
they cast slurring remarks at the
home club.
Take Yesterday, for instance. Umpire
Stafford called a poor strike on Larry
schlahv. The Tiger captain made a
kick with the arbitrator. These race
track "touts'' now out OF a 1op hau
placed a bet, and Immediately began
to knock the team and everythins
about. Now we don't mind criticism
from honest fans who think the cup
may not be playing the proper klho
of ball. but the mean remarks OF THIS
gang are certainly not In order. Ihese
nasty criticisms come from III gang
because they think they are going 10
lose a little money. They haven't d
good word for the team nor any OF
the LAYER These men should not De
allowed in the park for any n OF the
above reasons. They can be located IN
the grandstand near the centre aisle
at any game. 1t Is not a difficult mat
FOR 10 locate them, and we hope, for
the sake of those who want to see a
game of BAL without being troubled
by a gang of 'piker' gamblers with
green currency sticking between their
fingers at all times, to see them ex-
PEELED.

BIGGEST
labor DAY
IN SPOKANE

Tramp, tramp, tramp, the army OF
union labor marched through the
streets of Spokane today, represent
Ing over 60 unions, between 5000
and 1000 strong.
The procession was in honor of
the annual holiday for the workers
Labor day-and was by all odds
the greatest turnout by organized
labor in the city's history.
Six thousand men who earn their
living by the sweat of their brow
an army that, In time Of peace, If 1t
voted as 1t marched, could control
the destinies of the city and county
Of Spokane.
The marchers were in gala attire
and In the best of spirits. They
moved down Riverside avenue with
a firm, manly tread and demon
tsrated to the satisfaction OF the
thousands of onlookers that Spo-
kane is, from the standpoint OF Its
workers, a union town. The ranks
OF union labor have been augmented
by the accession of thousands of
new men who have become citizens
of Spokane since the last Labor day
parade, two years ago. Among the
Fmerchers, too, were men who have
carried aloft the banner OF union
labor in this city for 20 years.
