A NDY SPEARY seems to be max
~ ing good with Monte Cross's
Scranton team. Andy will play
second base for the New York state
League team tomorrow against the
Athletics.
Billy Zimmerman, the local boy who
stole 1o5 bases In the New York state
League last year now the property of
the Atlanta Southern League Club, Is
called h champion hold-out of tie
Southern League" Billy has not signed
thus far.
II the semi-professional teams ana
minor leagues in New York State sue
fceed In having a Sunday baseball bill
passed there is doubt If the Yankees
and the Giants would AXE advantage
Of the opportunity. In our opinion
nothing would stop Sunday baseball
more quickly than the presence Of
throngs at the American League Park
and h Polo Grounds on Sundays. The
major league owners know 1t, too. The
View York baseball agitation has TO
DO solely with minor league affairs.

Kurtz at any time and at any place for
n $500 side bet. Weigh in at 13S ring
tide. "Crackejack' Bibbs is ready 80

n oh, wat a subject for cartoons is
the dignified David Star Jordan, presi-
dent of the Leland Stanford University,
ITS a good thing he isn't president of
a baseball league. He'd have no
games, because of sympathy for play
ers and umpire.
The soccer classic of the East is card
ed for tomorrow at Morris Park, where
the Howard and Bullough e'oven, of
Pawtucket, r. l., and the Philadelphia
Hibernians will battle. This will be
the soccer treat of the year. Harry
Dale, Of Paterson, has been chosen as

Some people censure Ad Wolgast
for refusing to meet Packey McFar-
land under conditions that would allow
the Chicago boy to be a welterweisht
BY fingtime. If Mcfarland can make
1873 pounds rfngside he's entitled to ron
sheraton. Wolgast would be taking
too big a risk with Mcfarland under
sPackey's illegitimate terms.
