Stamford Boy To Join McGraW's Tear
George Smifh, Promising Sem Professional, Recommended
 to Giants by Bill Lauder

George Smith, the Stamford boy who has been recommended to Man ager McGraw of the New York Giants by so good a judge of baseball ma terial as Billy Lauder, of South Nor walk, once the Giants third baseman, is now, to all intents and purposes, a member of the New York team. Smith had an interview with Man ager McGraw in New York, Wednes- day. He was given a locker in the club house.. and one of Christopher Matthewson's old suits. The only thing that prevented him trying out was the weather. He was in New York again yesterday, and, weather permitting, was booked for fielding and batting practice. While there is nothing definite about it yet, the chances are that Smith will report daily for morning practice until the team goes West. It is unlikely that he will accompany the Giants when they leave home at the end of the week

CubanS Richest
 Players in League
Marsans and Almeida Worth $4OO,00O Each and Don't
 Have to Play Ball
New York Mail.)

You hear a good bit here and there about certain ball players being worth young fortunes, and stories to the ef- feet that these John D.'s of the dia- mond only stick to the game through sheer love of the sport. Once in a while these yarns are true: But the two richest ball players now in cap- tiv1ty have never before been men, toned in this respect.
 They are Almeida and Marsans, the two Cubans working in Cincinnati Both are ranked above $4OO, ,O0O in their heirs to rich estates nearly double this amount
 When it comes to playing ball for the love of the game they are in a class without rivals, for either to-day could retire to the job of expending S4OO,OOO and a. life of social leader ship upon their native isle
 The only man who begrudges them this wealth is Garry Hermann, the owner of the Red array. Garry, in line with the run of other mana gers has issued an edict against any mid winter ball playing. He has threat ened dire results to his team but the two who have no idea of obeying Garry's commands are his two Cubans
 From October through March is the ideal ball season upon the island, and as both Almeida and Marsans are keen about playing, both expect to play all winter. Neither has any idea of lay ing off because an owner in the States doesn't wish them to play.
 He doesn't like the idea Of losing two 300 hitters-he can see nothing to the idea of ining two men worth close to half a million, and the re- suit is that Garry is several miles up in the air.
 Most of the best ball players in Gu ba are what is technically known as Smokes. Only a few of the pale faces there are rated as star perform CTS. So in Cuba neither Almeida nor MarSanS were ever ranked with Sever- al other Cubans who work under darker tinting.
 Hence the surprise in Cuba when Show and started immediately hitting 300.
 Which doesn't lessen the fact that both are high-class athletes. They can not only hit but are faster than streaks and both are blessed with keenness of eye beyond the ordinary According to Mathewson AIemeida has one of the best eyes he ever saw.
 You've got to stick it over for this fellow" remarked Christy. Matfl- ewson recently, flor he seems to have uncanny judgment in waiting until a curve ball breaks across I haven't been able to fool him with a bender yet which broke off the plate"
 Almeida and Marsans apparently have started a Cuban invasion of the upper crust in balldom. The Boston Nationals have signed a Cuban named Cabrera, who is said to be better than either of the Red stars from the sun ny side. And others are upon the way

 The Connecticut Company has force at work today Stringing electric lights on both sides of Main street from the fountain to the railroad. The company bears the whole expense and furnishes the current when lighted. Those who are inclined to find fault with the company for it's delinquencies should now be ready to give it credit for it's contribution to the success of the Labor Day celebration. It was first necessary to get the permission of the Electric Light Company which owns the lighting franchise. This was gained by L. E. Peck, who has been actively behind every innovation. Supt. Chapman of the Connecticut Co., will ingly went to the expense, which is considerable. It was necessary to send to different cities on the lines to get the lights necessary for so long a stretch. When the expense is con- sidered it will be seen that the Con- nectiout O., is the largest individual contributor to the celebration.

HOW THEY GOT
 THEIR CLOTHES

Thieves broke into the show window of clothier in Stapleton, Staten Isl- and and stole pair of trousers and a coat. The next morning the proprie- tor placed a neat little package in the window placarded:
 TO THE WINDOW BREAKER.
 This package contains the vest to the classy $9.75 suit you stole; kindly call around for it. as we do not like to have any dissatisfied customers.
 The hallboy looked critically at the pile of clothing.
 "Of course, it's true, sir, that I ain't your size" he said. 'I can wear 'em though, all right. It's this way. There are more than twenty elevator and bellboys in these flats. We're all sizes and we got an association that changes clothes with one another. So if you give me that suit I just hand it into the association and one of the tall men gets it. But then he's got to give me the next suit that comes into our as- sociation that would fit a short, fat man. So you see, sir, I can wear clothes of any size you give me, wheth- CT they are large Or small.
 He got the bundle to contribute to the association.-New York Sun
