TWO BRONX RUNAWAYS BACK
CHILDREN FLED TO ESCAPE
PARENTAL PUNISHMENT.

Smaller Brother Disappear Father
Finds Them After They Had Spent
Tuesday Night Under Fruitstand.

Two youngsters who ran away from
their home in The Bronx on Tuesday
afternoon because they expected spank
ing when their father got home at night
were found yesterday by their parents
after the police at the Morrsania station
had been looking for them for hours.
The runaways achieved the object OF
their flight too. for there was no thrash
ing when they got back. Instead the
fatted calf was served up in the form Of
a huge birthday cake. But this is how
it happened:
Florence Mayer. II years old. and her
brother Jimmie. who was Q yesterday.
were told by their mother last Monday
afternoon to go around to their aunt's
house. which is near the Mayer home at
300 East l37th street. because Mrs. Mayer
was going shopping and wouldn't be back
until late. When their, mother returned
she called at her sisters to get the chill
dren. but they weren't there and hadn't
been all afternoon. Az the end OF several
anxious hours. during which their father.
a foreman in a coal yard, thought about
calling on the police. Florence and Jimmie
returned. They had been playing in a
park near by and lost track Of the time
Their father promised them both a thrash
ing but put II on till morning.
On Tuesday morning Mr. Mayer awoke
early with the intention o. administering
the promised whipping. bu. told his wife
that he guessed he would wait until eve
ming because he didn't want to wake
the kids up. Jimmie and Florence were
not 80 soundly asleep az they seemed,
however. and when their mother sent
them to the drug store that afternoon
they decided that night away from
applied hair brush. With the dime which
they had received they rode to Washing
ton avenue. where they had formerly
lived, and we're caught in the heavy storm
which swept over the city. In their
dripping clothes they crawled under
shelter Of fruit stand where they slept
until the proprietor routed them out In
the morning. With a few extra pennies
which they had Jimmie bought some
buns for breakfast, and he and his sister
soon forgot the discomfort Of their damp
acauaintances in the neighborhood.
All day yesterday their worried parents
looked for them high and low until finally
the father, as last resort, decided to visit
Washington avenue. where they had lived
some time ago. Almost opposite the
Morvisa mia police station he unex pectedly
came upon the youngsters sitting on a
doorstep. They began to cry when their
father grabbedlthem up in his arms. and
were badly scared until they found that
there was to he no immediate retribution.
Mr.. Maver said last night that although
his wife was afraid the kids would get a
stomach ache from eating cake after their
exposure, he guessed they would have it

somerIot, Miller and otey Rumored
to Be on the Block Now.
WASHINGTON, June S.-Inside the
next week it is expected that the
work OF cutting down the Washington
baseball force will be begun. Accord
ing to report yesterday, waivers have
been asked on three members OF the
team, these being Somerlot. Otey and
Miller. Several days must elapse be-
fore II will be known II any clubs care
to claim any OF the men, after which,
Ii waivers, are secured, they will be
placed with minor league clubs.
Somerlot's going Is taken to mean
that Henry has the bag to himself for
the present, and the Central leaguer's
light hitting is the sole reason for
letting him out. His fielding has al
ways been Of the best, and he is
good man on the bases. Miller has
not been used much, and McAleer
does not regard him as capable or
taking the place from either Lelivelt
or Gessler, both OF whom will continue
through the season, unless the new
wonder, Walker. wins job for him
self.

HOPKINSVILLE, KY. June 81
Mike Lyons, right fielder OF the Hop
kinsville team OF the X. l. T. league,
known as the Moguls, has created a
new batting record-seven hits in one
game.
To accomplish this feat Lyons broke
the long-standing record held jointly
by Ed Delahanty and Gene Beaumont.
who are credited with six hits in one
game.
Lyons made his record against the
Vincennes team, accommodating IA
bases, two three base hits, three doub-
les and two singles. He faced four
pitchers.
Last season Wagner and Lajoie
made eight hits In succession, but
these were not In single game.
Lyons, who is q civil engineer, Is but
22 and lives at Jasonville, Ill. This Is
his second year in the game and his
first as an outfielder. Last year he
batted close to 800, but this year has
been hitting at .444 clip. He Is one
OF the best base runners In the Kitty
league and has fielding average OF
1000.

NO COAST HORSE
ON GRAND CIRCUIT
Nothing From Far West Fast Enough
To Warrant the Long Trip To
Eastern Tracks.

Not single California horse will
race on eastern tracks this year. VIII
Durfee planned TO come east with
Copa de Orc and Helen Stiles. but In
letter to Secretary George J..
Dietrich OF the Grand Circuit. Durfee
says he won't cross the Rockies this
year.
The Grand Circuit depended largely
on the Pacific coast for their entries
in both stakes and classes a few years
ago. The stables Of Senator Stanford,
trained by Charles Marvin; the stable
OF San Mateo farm, trained by Johnny
Goldsmith; those of San Jose trained
by Willard Sanders; and, best OF all.
the great stables of Munroe Salisbury,
which came east every year, have
all dropped out.
Durfees decision not TO come east
will disappoint horsemen all over the
Grand Circuit. This season will be
the first one for a number of years
that Pacific coast horses have not
raced in the Grand Circuit. Coast
horses predominated few years ago,
but increased interest in the light
harness speFt-e4- tAe-eeast- and the
cost of the long trip have divided the
east and west.
