PROSPECTS VERY BRIGHT.
To Get Pitchers Going Right is All He

Prospects are bright for successful
trip around the east for the Chicago
Cubs baseball team after the greau
form Pitcher Lou Richie exhibited
against the st. Louis Cardinals. The
superb showing the knuckle ball artist
evinced against the New York Giants
recently was not a flash in the pan. He
went through the nine innings against
Bresnahan's men like a stake horse
and the conditions were not at all ia
vorable. He held his opponents to four
scattered hits and whitewashed them.
The Cardinals pressed him closely once
or twice in the engagement, but his
skill was too much for them in the
pinches. His support also was too
sturdy to be penetrated.

displayed against the Cardinals. it is

A SLIGHT RECOVERY.
Union Pacific Statement Has Good
Effect on Hartman Stocks.

New York, Aug. 18.-No small part
of the recovery recorded by the st Jrk
market today was directly traceable To
the statement put out by the Hartman
management after the close of bust
ness yesterday. Judge Lovett's une-
quivocal denial of any internal dissen-
sion in the Union Pacific or probabii-
ty of a reduction of the existing divi-
dend. was accepted at it's face value
In most quarters, accompanied, as It
seemed to be, by purchases of Harri
man stocks the part of bankers
closely identified with that system.
In speculative circles, however, some
scept1cfsm was shown, and 1t was
averred that the Hartman party had
manifested less celebrity and frankness
ment from the Union Pacific company.

much OF the mystery, including the OIL
gin Of the enormous selling of the past
three weeks. remains unsolved There
were hints today that the near future
might inject a new and highly impor
tant interest into that property-.in
interest which in bygone years had
often opposed the plans of the Harri-
man faction.
Every selling of United States Steel
today, even though it kept pace with
other speculative leaders in its firm
undertone. served to call attention to
the proposed tariff revision programme
at Washington and denoted some I'M
easiness as to the outcome of the leg
islatfon at the national capitol. All
other standard shares participated in
today's advance to the extent of one
Or two points. but trading became ex-
ceedingly dull on the decline in mark II
contrast to the extraordinary activity
which attended each successive down

be properly assigned to covering Of

of the session aggregated $685. 900

DonIin's Return to the Game.

Mike Donlin, formerly captain and
outfielder for the Giants, retired from
the game in 1903 to go into vaude-
vile. He rejoined the Giants this sea-
son. and has been used as pinch hitter.
In a game at the Polo grounds recent
ly Donlin proved that he has some of
his old-time hitting ability when he
put the ball into the right field stand
for home run. His baseball career
starts back many years ago in Penn
sylvania. Then he played ball in Cal
ifornia. He played in ST. Louis when
the Cleveland team was moved there
He was a pitcher, then played short
stop, and later first base. Nike-al-
ways a good p1ayer-drifted to Balti-
more. When John McGraw came to
New York he brought Donlin with him.
Mike became Polo Ground favorite.
He was "a big batting factor in the
best team McGraw ever had here. New
York fans were sorry when Mike"
passed up baseball for the stage. This
season he came back confident that
he could show his old batting ability.

One Off FuIIerton's Bat.

Here is a hot one off Hugh Fuller
tons bat:
One day Providence was batting
Jersey City extra innings. In the 18th
the Rhode Islanders worked a man
round to third. and the batsman, with
one out. knocked a long fly to left
field. 1t looked like a cinch for the
runner at third to score The throw
to the plate was 10 feet wide. Nc
Cornick, the next man to the bat
saw it coming and took crack at the
ball. driving it to right field. The
umpire declared the runner out on ac-
count of Mccormick interfering with
the ball. Manager Billy Murray of the
Providence club asked Mccormick
what he meant by hitting a ball
thrown in by one of the opposing out
fielders
What kind of foolishness was run
ming around loose in your top piece
when you swung at that ball? inquir-
ed Murray.
'"sWell, it was the first straight one
I've seen today, and / just couldn't
keep from humping it on the seam
said Mccormick.
So that's the way you play ball.

ton, as reported, happened in the sixth
inning, and Taftville had three men on
bases and two men out. The batter
struck at the third strike, which the
catcher dropped, and every player
thinking the catcher had touched the
plate left the field. When the batter
reached first to play his position he
was declared safe, and the other run
ners ran for their respective bases and
proceeded until they had all crossed
