Clarke will not attempt hereafter to give
any advance notice of O'Toole's debut.
In the best Of faith he announced Sunday
that Marty would make his start here

carry out that program, but when the

mond. O'Toole was not getting anything
on the fast ball." and upon making an
inquiry as to the reason learned that the
pitchers arm was still hurting. Clarke
Immediately motioned for Elmer Steele
to get busy and warm up.
ANY time one Of the older pitchers
tells me that he has cold in his arm,
and I see that he is not working right.
I send for another man, and there is no
reason for making an exception in the
case of O'Toole,' said Clarke.
II was sorry to disappoint the public,
but We have too many well pitchers sit
ting around to risk a game at this crit
ical stage of the race to the hands of a
pitcher with cold-stiffened arm O'Toole
does not complain and would start any

begin under handicap. For that reason
am not going to attempt to say when
he will pitch beyond promising that 1t
will be the first day that he looks right

Clarke certainly could use an effective
pitcher right now. His stars. who did
so well during the winning streak, are
all being batted hard. First Brooklyn

Is starting out by furnishing Steele and
Camnitz. In viewr of this state of affairs
the impatient fans who want to see

BRAY. Ireland, August 23--By mar
gin of 163 runs the Germantown Cricket
Club received a severe defeat at the
hands of the Woodbrook Club. in their
two-day match here yesterday.
AS in the first innings, the tourists
could do little with the bowling of Steel

counted for every Germantown wicket
during the two innings Of the match
The home team was undoubtedly a
strong one, and although the fielding of
the visitors was first class all through
the match, their batting was weak, only
Pearson, Priestman and Maxwell bat
ting at all consistently.
The visitors can take some solace in the
fact that five members of the local team
are professional players.
Faulkner took 6 for n and Steel for
Ga. and they bowled throughout the in
nings practically unchanged.
