It is doubtful if there is a player in
either league as popular as Walter
Johnson. When his name is an
nounced as the Washington pitcher
the hon crowds always applaud. and
when he gives an exhibition of his
marvellous skill in striking out some
noted batter in a pinch applause al
ways greets him. The umpires have
done much TO acquaint the public with
the splendid disposition of Johnson
The fact that he never questions a

NINEBROTHERSON
TEAM and FATHER
WAS ITS MANAGER

The little village of Madison Mills,
Va. near Orange Court House, is on
the map for reason probably unique
in Americas geographical records. The
main attraction in Madison Mills is
the mine Brothers" baseball team-a
team composed OF nine brothers of the
Gillum family, from Hugh, aged four
teen, TO Willie, aged thirty-seven. T..
o. Gillum is the father of this odd
family and manager of the team.
The father of the nine brothers"
however, is not the one TO whom the
credit for love of baseball in his sons
should 60, for away back in 1869 the
grandfather of the mine brothers or
ganized at Orange. Va. the first team
ever got together in that part of the
State Grandfather Gillum loved TO
toss the ball and sprint around the
diamond and that love was passed
down to his son, I. o., and was as
simulated by the mine brothers. all Of
whom are robust in mind and body
On account of the novelty of nine
brothers composing one team. a large
crowd was attracted to Orange when
the Nine Brothers" played the Or
ange team recently. The victory went
to Orange by a score of Z to 5. but
not until the members Of the Orange
club recognized that they had worthy
opponents, despite the fact that sever
al of the Gillums had not engaged in
game for from seven to fifteen years.
]. II. Gillum struck out ten batters and
yielded FIVE hits, while Harry ".
caught a fine game after ten years
out of the position, and Hugh H. put
up a splendid game at short. The
Gillums kept their opponents from FL
ling the bases at any stage during
the game. and succeeded once them
selves in getting three men on"
The team is as follows.

M'BRIDE'S RECORD
FORTOUCHINCOUT
RUNNERS IS GOOD

Among the baseball men George Nc
Bride, shortstop of the Washington
Americans, has the reputation of being
one Of the best infelders in the coun-
try when it comes to touching base
runners with the ball. This is one
failing which most second basemen
and shortstops have, and there could
be no greater weakness. for it not only
makes base running easier. but it has
detrimental effect on the catchers.
Infelders who lack the ability to touch
runners often lose base stealers on
perfect throws from the catchers, and
ii is hard to figure how great a handi-
cap it is to a team when this hap
pens.
Mcbride, however has the play down
70 perfection. No matter where the ball
is thrown, he always gets it on the
runner, and what is most remarkable
is the fact that he has never been
seriously injured in the four years
he has played Mcbride. barring one
season. when he missed the first two
games because of illness, has played
An every scheduled game for the
Nationals.
In this respect he leads all in1eld-
ers in the country, for with base run
ners sliding into second feet first, the
work of the man covering land Nc
Bride does most of it for the Wash
ington team is decidedly dangerous
and it requires a lot Of agility, to-
gether with nerve, to make the play
and come out unframed.
There is one other play In baseball
at which Mcbride excels. and at
which he is considered the master OF
all others. II is the breaking up oil
the attempted double steal Other
shortstops make this play occasionally
Mcbride has failed but once since he
has played in Washington.

The weekend will find the inaurgur-
al meeting Of the Hartford County
Breeders Agricultural Association at
Havre de Grace in full swing. for on
next Saturday the gates will be opened
for the first time at the new course.
Seldom in the history OF the turf has
a new racing venture held more pro-
mise for an suspicious opening and
successful termination
This is as il should be. The length
OF the meeting (Aug. "A to Sept. 3O)
appeals especially 10 horsemen and the
association will have its work cut
out TO accommodate all who have
asked for reservations. Another at
traction for the majority Of the horse
men Is that the programme will all
ways cater to the available material,
which not alone gives the poor owner
as much OF a chance as his wealthy
neighbor, but will provide q brand OF
spirit that always appeals to the pub
lie and attracts its patronage.
With the majority of the best stables
in the country will come the best rid

With officials Of the same brand and
over a course that is ideal in every
particular, little doubt remains but
that Havre de Grace will fill a long felt
want in the racing armament

The athletic association OF the VIII

from the committee appointed by the
National Collegiate Athletic associa-
ton, appointed TO further the interests

letter advances a number Of reasons
why the game should be played by
these institutions and also asks for
information concerning the present
status of the game in this city. Sim
liar letters have been sent to all Of
the schools in the country.
The reasons given in favor of soccer
state that it is a game that may be
safely played by boys in grammar and
high schools, by college students or
graduates and that a long season of
conditioning is not necessary, although
OF course. first class physical condi-
ton and skill count. Soccer does not
require an expensive equipment the
game being played in a loose shirt,
running pants and heavy boots. While
regulation field is better, any open
space may be utilized for the contests
and this is given as a reason for TAX

bodies all of the strenuous work and
excitement but is lacking in the dan

WEIGAND WORKS
TO BUILD UP TEAM

Arrangements are now being made
by those Chester men interested in the
purchase of the Johnstown Club Tri-
State League franchise which deal was
consummated last Friday, for the hold
ing of a meeting one day this week
at which time permanent organiza-
ton for the conduct OF the club for
the remainder of the season, will be
perfected.
Owing to the end Of the present Tri-
State season being so near, September
4, about the only thing that can be
done is TO build up the team for next
year. for Il is the determination Of
those having the management TO start
the 1913 season with a team that viii
be a credit to Chester and one that
by its playing. will attract attention to
the old town thereby forming a
medium Of advertising the town.
Curtis Weigand. who has had sever
al years experience IN baseball has
taken charge as manager and viii
have charge of the Chester Club for
the remainder of the season. A man
who thoroughly understands the fine
points of the game, who knows ball
player when he sees one and who is
in close touch with magnates. thereby
being in position TO secure the SER
vices OF the best Of players. Weigand
will use every effort to build up a
strong team for next season. In fact,
he has already started to strengthen
the club by securing a catcher and a
couple Of additional pitchers to in-
ish the season.
AS previously stated, there are hun
dreds Of enthusiasts In Chester who
have long desired a professional team
10 represent Chester in some league.
Now that this has been accomplished
and the fact that the Tri-State gives
promise of being a much stronger or
eanization next season. the fans are
commencing to manifest interest and
there is every indication that the best
of support will be given. Chester has
a reputation of being a irst-class ball
town and the enthusiasts are deter
mined that the town shall uphold that
reputation. Then there is every reason
TO believe that the old rivalry between
Chester and wilmington which has
since the late Jesse NJ. Frysinger
managed the Independent Chester
Club. will be revived and old time
scenes-the big attendance Of Ches-
ter "rooters" at the games In VIII
mington. when the Chester played
Wilmington. at Wilmington, and the
attendance of the Delawareans when
their favorites went there. the spirited
roofing etc, viii be In evidence once
again. Chester enthusiasts are loyal,
there is no disputing that assertion
and II the Chester Club displays an
aggressiveness and proves a winner,
there is no reason 20 doubt but that
the team will have successful season.
Public spirited men have given the
enthusiastic what they have long
wanted and it is now up to the fol-
lowers Of the national pastime 20 show
their appreciation by good attendance
at the games played at home.

RASERALL
UNION SEEMS
DOOMED EARLY

The opinion prevails in well-posted
sporting circles in New York that the
baseball players union will not be a
bowling success. although il may ac-
some things that the players
cannot achieve individually.
The main trouble with the organic
ing of ball players is that the in
dividual worth of each player is some
thing that cannot be estimated In ad-
vance. nor can it be indefinitely sus-
tanned. Hence the remuneration every
player receives is exactly what the
owner OF a club thinks the man is
worth TO him. Lajoie, Cobb, Johnson,
Mathewson, Walsh and such pre-
eminent stars are worth. whatever
they can get. and they get all they
can.
