Veteran Backstop With Tigers Has Had Great Record in Pro-
fessional Baseball, and Has Been Hitting the Ball Hard
This, His Eighth, Year in the Eastern League.

and at one time was on the same team
with Bob Ganley and Dummy Taylor
Hughey's correct surname is Ahearne
but he has been known ever since his
advent in the Eastern League as
Hearne.
Hughey knows every point of the
game, and one of the reasons that Nc
Ginnity picked him up was to coach
his youngsters. If he just sat on the
bench Hughey would more than earn
his salary by pointing out plays to the
younger men. Some day, when
Hearne's playing days are over, he will
make an ideal manager, and the height
of his ambition is to pilot a team in
his home town, Troy, N. Y.
In 1901 in the New York State League
Hearne was the leading slugger, with
an average of 1880. The following two
years he was with Brooklyn, and
batted Psi in 1902. In 1908 and 1904 he
was with Baltimore, but during the fol-
lowing year vent to Haverhill, in the
New England League. From there he
played in Holyoke for a year, after
which he returned to Baltimore.

CONTESTS WILL, ALLEGING
BREACH OF CONTRACT.

TRENTON, Aug. GA novel point
of law is involved in the suit instituted
in the Court Of Chancery yesterday
by which DR.. Warren H. Slower, a dem
fist of this city, seeks to recover the
entire $100, 600 estate of his brother-in-
law, the late DIR. Josiah Hellyer, who
a also a dentist in this city. Dur
ing his prosperous days DR.. Hellyer
made frequent and generous gifts to
his sister, who became Mrs. Slower.
Later misfortune came to him and he
lost a considerable portion of the
wealth that had been his. Then, so the
claimant of the estate says, he turned
to his sister for substantial loans to
tide him over. These loans were made
with the understanding, so Slower
claims, that his will making Mrs.
Slower his sole legatee, devisee and
executrix, was to be maintained.
Slower asserts that such a will was
maintained by DR.. Hellyer until Mrs
Stover's death in 1907. DR.. Hellyer died
last December, and it Is said that he
left an estate worth 100000 to his
nephew, William r. Hellyer, of Phila-
delphia, and his niece, Mrs. Isaiah Mar

ELIZABETH, Aug. 6.-The petition
for the nomination of Alfred A. Stein,
president of City Council, as Demo-
cratic candidate for the Mayorality,

wise from men of independent ten
denotes in politics.
Just who STEMS Republican oppon-

SPECIAL ATTENTION
GIVEN TO SEMI-PK0
LEAGUE AFFAIRS
BASEBALL WRITERS AND PLAYERS
OFTEN BECOME FIERCE ENEMIES

tening to the alleged sporting writer
commenting, and just to test his game
ness remarked: "Ill bet $25 on Cans.
The writer covered the bet. 1t was
money allotted to him perhaps for MS
on the road. Jake won and
took the fifty and the writer was
sore.
The same day Jake laced out a hit
that sent in the Bisons' winning run
and played a brilliant game in the field.
Two days later Bill Milligan received
a letter from Mrs. Milligan, and en-
closed was a clipping of the paper
with the story of the game, which was
broken up by the present Tiger centre
fielder. The writer roasted Jake I'M
mercifully and declared hat he was
slow on the bases and lacked the pep
per Of previous years; that he only
made one hit and walked twice, etc.
Milligan, in turn, passed the paper to
Jake, who, with fire in his eyes rushed
at the critic, who happened to be in
the corridor of the hotel, and gave him
a thrashing. The clerk finally Gained
Jake. From that time on Jake has been
a dead one" according to the dope
of the Buffalo writer. Still he is play
ing better ball than the majority Of
Bisons, and just now money can't buy
him from the Iron Man"
Manager Stallings happened to see
the story, and remarked: Never mind,
Jake; you are playing ball for me, and
as long as I am satisfied with your
work don't give a rap what those fell
lows write about you"
The big fellow at the same time
boosted Jake's salary.
Here is the way Joe Crisp puts it:
fright here you got the best sporting
writer's l ever run across. Out West
they are brutal. They roast you even
when o win q game. You got a lot
of young fellows here that know the
business and get right in with the
boys"

EXT HEN Jack Dunn asked for waiv-
wv ers on Hughey Hearne last
spring Joe McGinnity was the
first to put in a bid for the veteran
catcher. At the time many of the wise
acres smiled up their sleeves and pre-
dicted that the Iron Man would find
he had purchased some dead timber.
Since then they have had plenty of
to change their opinion of
Hughey, for the old boy has been play
ing in great form for the Bengals and
still ranks with the best backstops in
the league. Hearne always was and
still is a dangerous man with the stick,
especially in the pinches, and his work
on the recent road trip of the Tigers
struck fear into the heart of every OPP
posing pitcher who had to face him
when men were on the paths.
Hearne first Joined the Baltimore
team eight years ago and played in the
Monumental City for five years, during
which time mis- batting average was
always close to the 800 mark. Before
coming to the Eastern League he
played in the New York State League,

day afternoon passed a resolution or

Jake Gettman Tells a Story That
Illustrates a Case in
{ Point.

~ ENERALLY speaking the Tigers
are satisfied with the baseball
dope and history furnished the
local fans by the scribes in this vicin-
ity. Knocks are few and far between
n there are some newspaper men
here who boost, boost, but seldom
knock the home club.
In every city the Tigers are popu-
lar. Even over in Jersey City the base
ball reporters write in the highest
terms of the Bengals. In Rochester
McGinnity is more popular with the
scribes than John CAMEL. That's the
truth.
There is one exception, and that's in
Buffalo. They will never forgive New
ark for robbing them of George Stall
ings, Tommy Martin and Jake Gett-
man. However, there Is but n writer
who seems to brood yer the happen
ing of several years ago., and Herr
Gettman is his victim.
Every time the Tigers visit the Pam
American City one poor chap tells how
Jake Gettman must now play ball for a
living and fight to hold his job. He
forgets that Jake played for the Herd
for a dozen years and oily fell below
the 800 mark in batting n season,
and then he hit .292.
Jake Gettman tells the story that is
responsible for the fellows feeling
against him.. There is an excuse for
using it, as it shows what ball players
and teams are up against sometimes.
When Frank Erne. the Buffalo pugi-
list, and Joe Cans met in Baltimore
some years ago the Bisons were play

porter OF Erne. However, he tired lis
