MAYOR FITZGERALD ABROAD.
From the Chicago Tribune

(From the Chicago Tribune)
 Boston is doing the best it can to interpret the few brief remarks of His Honor Honey Fitz' at Dus5el dorf. It might be wiser to announce that Boston is responsible only poli- parts, where American politics is SUD- posed to contain all evils and to en-, compass all villainies, the explana- ton that Fitz his geography and all the other parts of him were, products of an iniQuitous system of free gov ernment would be accepted and un- derstood. But Boston is pulling what it can out of the wreckage of Honey FitZ's words and probably will disown the rest. The celebrated utterance of the mayor which by this time is repeated in the French Congo was: We are glad we came to Dusseldorf and we look forward with pleasure to our visit to the capital. From thence we will visit those other Ger man cities, Vienna and Budapest" As Boston points out. if MT. Fitzgerald had spoken merely of Vienna there would be no confusion on the fitZianS and no joy among the antiftzians. Vienna is German city in every thing except national organization and geography, and Honey F'itz evidently was not speaking geographically. Bos- ton is prepared to maintain this point, but Budapest is a discoffiture. Even allowing that the mayor suddenly be- came Pan-Germanic in prophetic en- thusiasm. Budapest remains to dis turb the eXplainers. The superintend- ent of compulsory education will take possession of MT. Fitzgerald at quar- antine on his return.

FELL BEATS BUNDY
 IN SEMI-f1NALS MATCH
Pacific Coast Tennis Wonder Goes Down Before New
 Yorker in Hard Struggle

Forcing his openings by powerful drives, Theodore Pell, the National indoor lawn tennis champion yester- day defeated Thomas c. Bundy. the Pacific Coast player, at 6-3, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, and thereby added an- other sensation to the New York State lawn tennis championship tourna- ment on the turf courts of the Cres- cent Athletic Club, at Bay Ridge. There was the element of form re- versal to the outcome of the semi fipal match, as Bundy was rated No. on the National list last year, while Pell stood at No. 8.
 Two things contributed to Pelis victory. He was as fast as the Cali fornia player, his drives winging to the. lines with a stiff pace. And m addition he was in rare physical con dition. as the contest was gruelling one. lasting through two hours and a quarter of play.
 The other semi-final resulted in a straight set victory for Maurice E. Mclaughlin, the Californian, who de- feated Charles M. Bull, Jr., at 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. Mclaughlin always play ed safely. A lot of his usual pyro- technical shots did not appear. Bull gave him a stiff battle, the total point tally being sS to 75. Eastern follow CTS of the sport were overjoyed at the outcome of the two matches, as it brings the East against the Pacific Coast in the final for the title and again the old vexatious question of sectional supremacy is to be decided
 Only one of the doubles semi-fin- als reached a decision in which Gus tav F. Touchard and Raymond D. Little, the challengers for the Ma tional double crown, defea ted George M. Church and Dean Mathey, the Princeton pair, by a score of 3-6, 6-3 7-5 6-3

TWO ANCIENT VOLS ADDED
 TO MUSEUM COLLECTION
N. Y. Press.

Recent acquisitions of the Metro politan Museum of Art, are believed
 by the staff to be of unusual interest
 to the public. Several additions have
 been made to the Crosby Brown coI-
 lection of musical instruments, one of
 the most complete of it's kind It al-
 so was learned there will be exhibit
 ion of Colonial silver and paintings
 in the fall. The Society of Colonfal
 Danes of New Yoirk has got togetn-
 CT ecclesastical plate illustrating the
 work of American silversmiths at the
 end of the eighteenth century. The
 Boston Museum of Fine Arts will
 show New England metal crafts about
 the same time.
 Two instruments dating back to
 1915 and 1929, called viola d'amore
 or alto viol, and a viola da gamba.
 or bass viol, have been presented by , Mrs. John Crosby Brown The alto viol is a Cremonese instrument with the label indicating it was made by drea, father of the Cremona-school. In the workshops of one member of that family, Nicola the Great Guan- orious and Stradivarius were appren- tices. The instrument is not played in these days. It went out of fashion 200 years ago although Meyerbeer and Berlioz tried to restore it to popa- larity.
 The bass viol bears the inscription Henry Smith over against Hatton House in Holborn, 1629." The man whose work it is was one of the mosr
 skillful of his craft. The bass v1oI
 was in great demand early in the seventeenth century, and a favor1te- instrument with the courtters of the two CharIeses. Pepsy used to play one, as he recorded painstakinzly 1n his diary. So did Andrew Aguecheek. a character in Twelfth Night. Other accessions include collect ion of German stoneware of the six teenth and seventeeth centuries. The jugs displayed are the forerunners of the modern steins. There also is ivory work of French and Italian manufacturer, besides many new pieces of Sheraton ware, including bracket clocks and baroUneters.
 Two unusually beautiful statuertes of bronze have been bought by the
 museum. The pieces are two small figures, one of a woman bather, the other of a boy entitled the Song of the Wave" Both are by Richard E.
 Brooks J. Pierpont Morgan has add
 ed to his department of pottery with the loan of Chinese coral vase and a carved wood cabinet of the Renais- sance period. A new scene by Jan
 Beerstraaten, 1622-1666, shows q frozen river on the outskirts of a Dutch town, with small figures in the foreground.

BAT NELSON SCARED
 BY STALK 0F WHEAT
 AS HE WAS TRAINING

Medford, Ore, Aug. 11-"Bat'' NeI- son, who has been "in our midst, for a week training for his ten round con- test with Tommy Gaffney, had a great scare while doing road work over the hills east of town.
 Nelson went over the hills until he thought 1t was time to start home Instead of hiking back over the same ground, he took through the fields where the wheat had been cut The Battler was jogging along for about half a mile when all of a sudden he felt something inside his pants leg, and at every step it seemed to crawl farther up until it was above the knee.
 Bat" laughed at first, thinking it was only a toad, but in a second he discovered his mistake. Thinking it was a snake, he had a regular bat tie royal for five minutes. He grab bed his trousers leg with one hand and jerked out what he thought was a snake with the other, and, to his surprise, it was nothing but a stalk

(By Wagner.

A good sized crowd of fans saw an afternoon of good baseball yesterday, when McCann's men took both sec tions of a. double header from New Haven. The first contest was won by to 4, and the second by 2 to 0. After an absence of over a week be- cause of sore arm, Dixie Walker re- turned to the fold and won the first struggle. He was tapped little in the second but blanked the Wings in six innings. Dixie weakened toward the close and Manager McCann took him out in the ninth when the visit ors had the bases filled with one out. Chief Snyder pitched only two balls to Pope, the shortstop hitting the sec ond for a fly to Eley. Skipper made a perfect throw to the plate and Bun van was nabbed, thereby ending the game. Walker allowed but eight hits and gets credit for the victory be- cause Bridgeport was ahead when he retired.
 Bugs Reisigl opposed Bridgeport in this struggle. The human insect had his usual assortment of stuff but the Mechanics managed to clout him in the pinches Tom Crook gave a fine exhibition. He tapped Reisigl for a triple and two singles. Skipper Eley grabbed two singles and pass Hi Ladd made a stirring running catch of Coughs liner in the eighth.
 The Mechanics scored twice in the opener on hits by Hey and Litschi and a wild throw by Kid Sherwood who tried to get Litschi at the plate on Ladd's grounder. A pass to Eley, his steal of second and a waliop by Crook produced another for Bridge port in the third. Crooks triple and Foot Ruell's single gave the Mechan- ics one in the fifth, and they grab bed the final tally in the seventh on Eley's hit, Litschi's sacrifice and Crooks third safety. The score:

 BEFORE NATIONAL 4. 6.

George Perry of Pennsylvania won the elimination White Hope" tourna- ment at the National Sporting Club, last night. After working his way to the final session by winning his preliminary bouts, he faced Barney Feeney in the last bout of the night. They had a furious battle.

 Uppy Upham trotted out to bring home the second victory and he deliv- cred the stuff. The Ohio giant had his sslants breaking right and he was at his best with men on bases. In four rounds, the first man up got on first and was sacrificed to second, but itors never saw the rubber. He al- lowed New Haven but six hits and passed one
 Benny Kauff made the prize catch of the afternoon In the second Gygli drove one to right that looked like a three bagger. Benny ran across lots and by doing a few contortions man. aged to get his gkoved hand on the sphere. Stowe and Litschi did fancy fielding in this session. The batting honors were, shared by Eley and Litschi, each getting two hits.
 Chalky Gum had his regular bad luck. He was more effective than usual against the Mechanics and fan ned nine. In the first after Litschi and Eley had connected, Clunn famed Crook and Ladd and retired the side WitHOuI laIiy. The MeCHduicS wei . only able to bunch hits in the seventh when they got their two runs.

Griffith Likely
 To Manage Browns
Cincinnati Manager Promised Job to Lead American League
 Tai!enderS

Clark Griffith will be the next man ager of the St. Louis Browns, suc- ceeding Rhody Wallace, according tc the New York Sun. President Johnson of the American league has not lost confidence in Griffith and has strong ly recommended him to President R. L. Hedges. As soon as Griff gets through with the Ci1cinnati club he will sign a St. Louis contract In spite of denials, it is broadly intimat- ed in American League circles that Harry Davis of the Athletics will manage the Clevelands next year.
 The information regarding Griffith and Davis comes from persons who should know what they are talking about. A close friend of President Hermann of the Cincinnati club has announced publicly that Hermann has opened negotiations with c. w. Mur- phy of the Cubs for the release of Joe Tinker to manage the Reds in place of Griffith. Hermann had a long talk with Tinker when the Cubs were in Cincinnati recently and Murphy in an interview says the Reds can have Tinker if they pay the price.

Says Tracy And
 Teller Framed It
 Up To Dust Him
FidO Sutton Declares He Lost Job Because He Fined Three Springfield
 Players

The latest is conspiracy charge by Fido Sutton. late of the Connecticut leagues staff of arbiters. MT. Sutton was reached last night in Waterbury and charged a conspiracy on the part of President w. J. Tracy of the state league and Manager Teller of the Springfield club. He states that a frame up by these two gentlemen re- suited in his discharge as a State league umpire.
 About two weeks ago." said Sut- ton, 'it will be remembered that I fined Gardella, Page and Temple of the Springfield team, as the result of a rumpus. Some action had to be taken on the case as the fight was one which attracted attention all over the circuit. After the trouble Teller of the Springfield club came to me and asked me what action I intended to take in the matter.
 ''I told him that the three men would be fined. Teller then told me that if l fined the men he would see to it that my career as State league umpire would be a short one. He stated openly that I would be dis charged and that he would revenge himself in that fashion. A short while later I heard in a round about way that President Tracy of the league was telephoning all over the state to the various club managers to ascertain whether or not they had any kick coming against me- From what I learn Tracy refused replies which were not unfavorable to me. thrown out of the job. I am satisfied that Teller had hand in the game.'

SAYS M'FARLAhD WILL
 DODGE WOlGAST FIGHT
Champions Manager Says Packy Would Rather Get More
 Money in New York

Tom Jones, Wolgast's manager, makes the rather surprising statement that Packey Mcfarland will back out of his ten round battle with the light weight champion at Milwaukee on September 5. Mcfarland has posted $1,000 and must come across with S1,- 800 more on or before August 20. In a letter to a friend here Mcfarland says he will go through with the match and will outpoint Wolgast in clean cut fashion. If the bout does not take place in Milwaukee it will be for the reason that the men can get larger purse in New York, as several clubs are gunning for the match. Since the passage of the new law in that State all the crack boxers are expressing a preference for New York because of the fact that fight fans there will pay higher prices than anywhere else.

 Honest Abe Lincoln is making good as an umpire. He is being praised all over the circuit.
 There will be some excitement at Newfield tomorrow, when the Spring field club comes here. It has been reported that the visitors will hurl abuse at the Mechanics in an effort to start a fight so that some of the local players will be put out of the game. Manager McCann has instruct the remarks of the visitors but to get in there and play ball. Chief Snyder will probably pitch for the Mechanics and Greenwell for the Ponies. Game called at 3:30.

So long, Jerry. If conVerSalion counted in the averages you'd lead the league.
 Owner John H. Freeman sat on the bench and enjoyed the triumph of the Mechanics. He has shaken off the hoodoo and declares the boys win every time he attends the games. Uppy Upham had something. He got a big hand when he famed Pop Foster with two out and two on the paths in the eighth. This makes the second shut out for Uppy this week. He whitewashed New Britain, Tues day.
 Skipper Eley had a fine day. Two hits in each game and a great throw that saved the situation in the first battle. Including yesterdays con- tests he has made II hits this week.
 Lou Litschi was full of ginger. He fielded his position without an error and was continually yelling encour- agement at the other players.
 A New York friend of Secretary George F. Corbett's brought a little dinge who acted as mascot in the sec ond game. The mascot was fed on ice cream cones to keep him good na- tured so he wouldn't work a jinx on the Mechanics.
 President Tracy has not yet taken any action on thel Crook Page affair. Tom declared yesterday afternoon that he had several bruises on his body caused by kicks from Springfield players while he was on the ground.
 Springfield continues to win. The Ponies got the decision over Hartford yesterday by to 8. An error by Rehg paved the way for four runs in the sixth when the Ponies won the contest. Powers pitched for the Sen ators and Case for Springfield.
 Chalky Clunn is certainly in bad with Dame Fortune. The southpaw twirled a fine article of ball yester- day, but his team couldn't do any hit ting behind him.
 Tom Crook was responsible for Rei- sigFs downfall in the first session. Twice the local captain smashed out hits that brought Skipper Eley across.
 The Boston Red Sox has secured Shortstop Londrigan and Outfielder Henriksen from Brockton. In ex- change for these the SoX turned over Pitcher Steve White, the former Princeton hurler, Shortstop Gianani and First Baseman Baker.

 These saying of the great were coI- lected by one of MT. Bryan's admir- CTS for the Chattanooga Times; why,
 we do not know exactly; but when men hit Bryan they hit also the party which has been crazy enough to fol- low him for 15 years, and the other party also which has gone in to beat the Nebraskan even at his own game Very few of us can take a shot at Bryan without hitting most of our neighbors, to such a complexion has the politics of the United States been brought by this diyturber. He could run equally well as the candidate Of either of the great parties for presi- dent, so many of his wild views hav- ing been adopted by both, and; as fair compromise, we would suggest that he be made the candidate of all the reformerS at the election next year. That would give the sane peo- pie of the country the opportunity of getting by themselves, and though they might be, and probably wouI1 be, defeated, they would at least have the satisfaction of having stood up against the wave of socialism that threatens to drown the country.
