IN MAJOR LEAGUES

IN MAJOR -SPORTS reg. R geg
 Manager Callahan is deeply concern ed over the way some of his Chicago players have disregarded his orders At least one of the games at the hill-
 top would have been won instead of lost had the comeback managers will prevailed. Walsh used his judguent against Gals and met defeat Calla-- han recently fined some of his young sters for this same offence.
 The BostoA, Red Sox, with lead
 of better than seven games on the
 balance of the field, are practically as secure now in their pennant hopes as the Giants. Baseball has many queer turns and new claimants may rise to the gonfalon in both leagues, but just
 now Boston is far and away the best bet by big odds.
 Hughie Jennings recently said the Red Sox were 30 per cent stronger than they realized. Granting thats they have realized their strength suf-
 view them through a haze of indigo
 blue.
 Manager Charley Dooin of the Phil lies, who has been accused of putting
 chemicals in the ball that interfered with spitban pitchers, is the avowed
 enemy of the saliva delivery. Dooin is opposed. to the spitball on the
 grounds of health, decency and pro- longed games. And there are many
 who will back Dooin up. It's effect
 upon health is somewhat vague. its offence to ,decency is matter of ol,in- ion, but the fact that 1t prolongs
 games is cause for general complaint. 
 In favor of the spitball it must be
 said that it has been one of the most
 effective deliveries introduced in re-
 cent years and practically the only freak ball that ever made good with more. than one or two pitchers. It requires more time to prepare for the delivery, and consequently spitballers

 Ebbets has his scouts out threshing the bushes for talent. But it is the opinion of many that what he needs more than new ball players is some body who can lead club in some
 thing like a successful manner Chief Meyers quite naturally figures
 in any confab about batting. It nss been said that if the Chief could kick his feet a little livelier on the base paths he would be the greatest batter in the game. With speed he could make hits out of many wallops that he now fails to beat out. Moreover, he could get extra bases on about half his hits.

OpGLlISS.
 There were only three major league games yesterday but today presents full schedule.
 President ORourke is having more trouble with Owner Dan. O'Neil of IIol- yoke. Outfielder Manning of the Pa permakers recently sent a registered letter with his $15 fine which was i'm posed upon him by Umpire Mullaney. Uncle Jeems nislaid the order and wrote to Manning asking the player to have the post office send dupli- cate order. Dan evidently thought the president was trying to shake his man down for an additional $15 and he says Manning will stay suspended the remainder of the season rather than send duplicate. It is simply a matter of common courtesy which Manning should perform in order to prevent further trouble.
 Paddy Green was sent to the mound by Dan O.Neil after Hartford had battered Ehman and Harrell yester- day. Green held the Senators down for the remaindero of the contest and Won by ' to $. Pete wilson was knocked out by Holyoke yesterday and Lundgren succeeded him.
 Waterbury tried a Naugatuck boy named Shea against Springfield yes terday, and the Ponies hammered out an to 1 victory.

The train ing was Successful in making Tom Kennedy husky enough in appearance to engage in a weight lifting contest, but it robbed him of his skill as a boxer at the same time. Wells made him look like a raw beginner.
 The Bombardier proved he knows the science pretty well and is without doubt one of the cleverest boxers in the heavyweight division, and that stamina and had Kennedy been any where as good as last fall when he stood sPalzer off there might have been different story to tell. Several times it looked as if Wells was Wob- bling, not as a result of anything Ken nedy was handing him, but because he had grown tired from his own ef- orts. Kennedy was unequal to the opportunities as they appeared and Bombardier was allowed to set the pace as he would taking breathing spells whenever necessary.
 T do not want 70 discourage any young and ambitious boxer, but l must say I do not think Bombardier will ever get to the top of the class Pa1zer will beat him down just as quickly should they meet again, pro vided Al is made to train in the right way, Wells. though physically a, pie ture, can't stand the ssgaff," and that lies between him and the champion ship.
 The Englishmans manager claims the hot weather prevailing in this country robbed Wells of his strength and staying qualities and that when he returns this fall, as has been ar ranged, we will see a better and stronger fighter. Bombardier was to have met Joe Jeannette, but he cancel led. that match and by doing so gave evidence of being a prudent young man. However. he made a hit with most New York sports by his skill and fair manner of fighting and whether he elects to return or not will always have the best wishes Of local admirers of the game.

Unreal Suns.

The mock suns of the arctic regions
are somewhat similar to the mirages Of

of the polar region wanes, once every
twenty-four hours a slight glow is seen
ut some point on the horizon. Often
accompanying this glow is seen the
phenomenon Of the mock suns. Sew
eral degrees up In the heavens as
many as five Of these spectral orbs
have been seen at one time. Invaria-
bly, they are all connected In a geomet-
ric figure, the sun seemingly bound
together with circles and arcs Of light.
Often when only one appears 1t is mis-
taken for the real god Of day. and ma
tives rejoice at the early end Of the
long winter night, only to be disap-
pointed as the image disappears. The

Fire. That Never Go Out.

There are many household fires In
England which are kept burning con-
tinuously. IN several Yorkshire inns

moor, make a specially Of peat cakes
there is always a ruddy glow on the
hearth.
There are whole districts In Wales,
too, where domestic fires never go out.
Once lit. they are kept alight because
Of the difficulty Of starting them. This
Is owing to the peculiar character Of
the fuel, which is culm. a mixture Of
anthracite coal and clay. In every
house In the culm districts the last job
at night Is making up the fire, and then
1t Is time for bed. There is no inclina-
ton to tarry, for nothing looks more
dead than the black. sodden mass from
which smoke is curling. But In the
morning the bellows quickly bring a
blaze, and the kettle boils In ten min
