'E-YAH!" WELLS JENNINGS.

Baseball coaching in the big lea gues is an exact science. It is SC studied, so guarded, that it is almost impossible to fathom. In Watch His Arm," by Hugh Fullerton, in The American Magazine for August Hughie Jennings tells how he works his signals.
 'I change almost every day." says Jennings. 'I change every time I sus- pect there is danger of the meanings being read. I am a believer in as few signals as possible and of giving them when they count, and I find that lot of antics are effective in covering up the signals. The oppos- ing players get tired of trying to see me give a signal and usually if I have any important order to give I can yell it at the top of my voice and no one would notice. I like to rely upon the judgment of the men themselves. provided I can find men who have judgment. But there are some who must be signaled. Suppose a batter is up with one ball and one strike called and I discover what ball is to be pitched and desire to inform the hitter. I have been yelling and kicking and playing clown. I yell 'E-yah!' but in a different tone from that I used before. The batter knows I want him to look for a sig nal. I may kick my foot in the air thre times, meaning Let the next oneN go,' or pull four blades of grass, meaning Hit the next one.

 ArshIp Race of
 Noted Bird Men
Especial from United Press


 Glasgow, July 25.-In the prettiest aeroplane race ever contested, Andre Beaumont, the dashing French naval lieutenant, passed through Glasgow in the lead, today in the 1910 mile race for the $50,000 offered by the Lon don Daily Mail. Close behind came Jules Vedrines, BeaumontS opponent. flying with the speed of the fastest express train. Beaumont was still 'n the lead when he reached Carlisle just out of Glasgow, and. after replenish- ing his fuel supply started for the next stop, 103 miles distant.
 Both men flew with unsurpassed skill
 Beaumont left Edinburgh at 3:10 a. m., and Vedrines at 3:25. Unfortu- nately a binding mist came up and Vedrines lost his air road shortly after leaving Stirling. The plucky Frenchman was forced to slow down his motor and dash first this way, then that, to get out of the thick miStS.
 Vedrines tried elevating his big monoplane but the dense white mist completely yelled the earth when he got above it and the aviator had to steer by compass. He reached Glas- gow at 9:o4, one minute after Beau mont had taken wing for Carlisle, the next central station, S6 miles distant.
 Oiling his motor, testing every wire and support on his big monoplane, and taking on a fresh supply of gaso- line, Vedrines left Glasgow about 20 minutes behind Beaumont
 On the 86 mile lap between Glas- gow and Carlisle, Vedrines cut down Beaumont's lead to six minutes. Beau mont descending at the central sta tion at 11:16 and Vedrines at 11:22. A bite to eat and some oil and both men were off again, Beaumont again getting away first and was reported to be leading at six minutes s
 The race has resolved itself into a contest between the two F'renchmen.
 C. T. Weymann, the American en- trant, who damaged his machine, yes- terday, made repairs and reached Harrogate on the second lap, this In descending he suffered another mishap and retired from the race.
 J. Valentine, the third contestant, left Edinburgh at 7:30, reaching Stirling, 31 miles from Edinburgh. at 9:15. Valentine damaged his pro- peller but started for Glasgow.
 Hammel, on whom the English rested their hopes of carrying off the prize, was delayed by stiff winds at Dunbar. Cody suffered an air wreck at Durham and is out of the contest.
 Flying high and with their motors in perfect condition and working to Beaumont passed over Kir- by, half way between Carlisle and Vedrines was just be- hind him and the race was a most thrilling one.

Pugi|istic Trust
 By M'Intosh With
 Johnson As Magne1

London, July 25-Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian fight promoter, has formed what probably is the greatest pugilis- tic trust that the world has ever known. The entire organization re- wolves about the person of one John Arthur Johnson, the dusky heavy weight champion, who is now here and who is under contract to fight some of the most conspicuous of the big slug gers. Besides Johnson the newest fighting trust includes Bill Lang, Sam McVey, Sam Langford, the Tar Baby Of Boston; Al Kaufman and Porky Flynn.
 Just as starter Johnson has signed a contract with Mcintosh for fight with Lang on December 26 next This will be followed on Easter Monday of next year by battle between John son and Sam McVey Both contests will involve the heavyweight cham on the part of Johnson that if he beats both Lang and McVey he will accom- pany Mcintosh to Paris, where John son will give battle to Sam Langford for a purse and the title. This lat ter battle is scheduled for the summer of 1912
 Johnson's contract with Mcintosh begins on October 31 of this year, when the colored fighter sails for Australia and other Oriental ports by the way of Calcutta. He will give boxing ex- hibitions on the way. This contract entails the cancelling on the part of Johnson of $19,000 worth of theatrical engagements here and elsewhere
 Mcintosh now has contracts that give him monopoly of the big fel- lows in the ring

suffice it to say, that he certainly showed "class," and of the kind that many players who are drawing mon- ey in fast company could use to good advantage. There will be no disposi- ton to dim the glory of his efforts Derby Elks' nine, is one of the fast
 est in the Naugatuck valley and has trimmed a number of fast semi-pro- fessional organizations in other parts
 of the state.
 The makeup of the balance of the
 team is a strong one, and will show Elm" Donnelly, former state lea
 guer. at thes Initial sack; Fred Mu- sante will take care of second, while Bo Nichols and Joe NeiSner will cov- CT short field and third base, respec- lively. The outfield also presents a front of much promise, with Mayor Buckingham, Al. Burdick and Joe able to alternate as curve artist with McCann but for the present will be
 used in the outfield.' .''Ed'' is a graceful fielder and strong and timely hit ter, and in the latter respect should be of great aid to his club. Jack Bill O'Leary make up quartet of utility men that are invaluable.
 The committee in charge of the event report there is widespread in terest in it, which is by no means
 confined to the limits of this city, but
 extends to all parts of the state.
 Derby has given warning that she
 rooters 300 strong, while fans from the Norwalks, Waterbury, New Haven and Stamford will be present. Pres ent indications point to a mammoth attendance, probably record reaking in it's proportions.

LUDERUS OF PHILLIPS
 LEADS IN HOME RUNS
Great First Baseman Has It on Wagner and Cobb in
 Circuit Clouts

It is now Frederick Luderus, king of home-run hitters. Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner, in their palmiest days, never performed as Luderus, the ster- ling first baseman of the Phillies and sensation of the National league. Cobb and Wagner have sent many pitcher back to the minors by turning ap- parent defeat into victory with a timely hit or two. but record the equal of the one just compiled by the member of Charley Dooin's pen nant contenders is still to be made. Baseball experts are ready to give to Luderus the title of champion home run hitter. It happens that Luderus has not compiled his home run hits all against the same club. He has scored one or more against each of the seven other clubs in the league. His circuit drives. the club against which they were made and dates are:
 Brooklyn, May 8, Philadelphia Pitts burg May 10. Philadelphia; Cincinnati. May 13. Philadelphia; Cincinn4ti, May r.

Giants to Claim
 Marry O'TooIe Too
McGraw Says St. Paul Club Accepted His Terms Be
 fore Pittsburg's

Cincinnati, July 25-The New York club is in on the bidding for OToole, and may question the purchase by sion. McGraw says that Scout Mike Finn was in St. Paul on Saturday. They told him the highest bid for O'Toole was then s12,000, offered by Comiskey
 Finn wired at noon stating that the club had placed a certain price, prob ably about s15.OO0, on OToole and that he had the preference.
 Wire accepting the proposition was sent after the game started at the Polo Grounds on Saturday afternoon. Papers announced that Dreyfuss closed the deal late in the afternoon for a big price.
 McGraw is waiting for particulars from Finn and may then take action. He claims that if his reply, accepting a definite proposition, was delivered to the St Paul officials or taken to them by Finn before the deal was closed with Dreyfuss, that said dee1 should be set aside.
 Cincinnati, July 25-"Of course, those on the outside, among whom are the other managers, know nothing of the inside of the deal between President Lennon of St.. Paul and President Dreyfuss of Pittsburg for Pitcher O'Toole However, believe that Dreyfuss didn't pay anything like S22,- 500 for O'Toole, and that there was a big lot of stage money in that trans action. When we paid 11,000 to h. dianapolis for Pitcher Marduard that was the highest price ever paid for one player. I cannot believe that anybody in either major league would go twice that strong and then some for one player. They will have to show me before I'll believe Dreyfuss parted with so much good money for the pitcher
 This was the statement made yes terday by Manager McGraw of the Giants. He says that had this amount been paid he thinks Dreyfuss would have insisted that OToole join the Pirates at once and help out their badly going twirling staff.
 There is always so much uncertain ty as to pitchers that club owners s won't pay any such high flown price for these men," was Muggsy's parting shot

LITTLE AND
 TOUCHARD WIN Defeat Wright and Niles in Ten his Championship Doubles

Boston, July 25-The East will be represented in Chicago next month in the feur-cornered struggle for the right to challenge for the national ten his championship in the doubles, by Raymond D. Little and Gustave F.. Touchard of New York, who yester- day won the finals in the double event at Longwood against B. c. Wright and N. W. Niles, of Boston. The scores were 6-4, 64, 7-5.
 Touchard led the attack against the Boston. pair, well backed up by Lit tie, while Niles was the weak point in the defense of the local team. Yet with all his brilliancy, especially in the back court, Touchard astonished the spectators in the first set by SCOT ing four double faults in succession and handing across the net what was apparently sure game for his side.
 Wright played hard to make up for the weakness of his partner and GOV cred the court in a remarkable man. ner. but the New York men made Niles the target of their shots.
