IGNORE SALARY LIMIT.
But Three New England Clubs- Fin
 ished Ahead of Expenses.

The Haverhill Evening Gazette has the following to say regarding the past season of the New England league:
 Lawrence, Lowell and Worcester were the only clubs in the New Eng land league that made money last season. The causes for the other fail- ures are many, one being because of the unfavorabl weather at the start, but the principal reason has been the fact that in several instances the sal aries paid were more than the re- ce,pts would allow.
 Tt is understood that Fall River, New Bedford, Lynn and Brockton and HayerhiIl lost about $4,000 during the season. and Worcester probably was fairly even at the end. Lynn, which was considered the best city in the league, few years ago, was the big gest loser, although Fall River and New Bedford were not far behind. An official of the Fall River club stated that ho was in a position to know that the Lynn club would close the season oyer s6.o00 in the hole.
 There HFe bound to be some lively doihss at ths annual league meeting tiris winter, for the nnagnates are de- ternrihiha now to tAhe drastic meas ures Last year strict salary limit rule was passed, but no notice was taken of this, despite all the warn lRgs seht dut But this year the mag Hatas have bse6he convinced that they must do seR Rethins, and they mean to do it."

while they attend to their usual occu- pations.
 Many of the dancing girls ip India, belonging to the temples, are called the wives of the gods. At an early age they are united in wedlock to the image worshipped in the temples. This strange matrimonial connection Is formed in compliance with the wishes of the parents, who believe it to be q highly meritorious act to present a beautiful daughter in marriage to a senseless idol.
 The only foreigner who ever saw the inside of the great Temple of Jug gernaut was an English officer who succeeded in gaining admission by painting and dressing himself like a native.
 When the Brahmins discovered that their holy place had been thus defiled they became so enraged that all the English residing at the then station were obliged to flee for their lives.
 Suspecting their pursuers to be more desirous of gratifying their avarice than their revenge, they strewed silver money by the way, and while the na- tives stopped to pick it up they gained time and succeeded in reaching place of safety

all in one game he set new record for purloined sacks for both major leagues.
 It is a record that will doubtless stand for some time, too, for even the fleet footed Cobb and the streaking Bescher cannot be expected to do such Astunts.
 Ty Cobb has the batting honors of the American league slowed away for this season, and again must be hailed as the batting champion. He also has a big lead over Zimmerman, the leader of the National league.
 Speaker has second place cinched. Bill Sweeney has dropped down to fourth place. Speaker is still the best run-getter and has a lead over Cobb that will be hard to overcome.

STRENGTH OF TEAM
 IN SECOND STRING
Fast Substitutes Responsible for Jake
 StahI's Success.

Mugsy McGraw, manager of the Giants, is responsible for the saying: The real strength of baseball team IS in it's substitutes" This statement has become an axiom of the national game, and Jake Stahl will probably win the American league pennart be- cause he not only has s fast bali team. but he also has an excellent bunch of second atrlnscrs The worth of these substitutes was shown during a Detroit series when Stdhl began tn inject theth tatp the safns so that his regulars might rreshsn ep, and so that they might a6dqire playing eaesIisnee that would equip ttIem to steR int Q the game Is injury ef ether accident should deprive him of the services of any of his fesuiars
 Stahl has q substitute eutfieder who can tih the n1aes ef either HeeRer, Speaker eF Lewis, his famous eutfieid- CTS, and play either field, at least as well as the average outfielders of the teams hshin dths Red 6ax. His name

is Henriksen. He has shown that the Red Sox can lose Speaker for days at @ time and still win more games than 1t will lose. Henriksen IS a good hit ter, 6 classy outfelder who does not cover as much ground as Speaker, but who covers more than the average first division oUtfielder, and he is a demon on the bases. The Red Sox would not be complete without Clyde Engle Engle is familiarly known as Haclrenschmidt. He would be in the regular lineup but for his weight. He IS stocky-huge, in fact-but he is fast nevertheless. He has played ev- cry position on the team except pitch CT. He can fill an outf1eld place and play any of the infield positions with equal skill.
 Then there's Neal Ball Ball has worked for years at Cleveland. His natural position is at second gase. He never had much opportunity to shine at Cleveland, because Lajoie had the place riveted down. So Ball was final ly placed on the market. Jimmy Me Aleer snarped him up at good price to complete his second string inf1eld.
 Ball has been playing since Yerkes was injured. He covers more ground to his left than Yerkes does and other wise fields as well as Steve.
 Hugh Bradley is another. Hugh can catch and play first base. He substi- tuted for Jake Stahl when Stahl was on the jiured list, and the Red Sox stayed right in front. Hugh began his work as a regular by driving a home run over the left field fence at the crit teal point of the game with the Ath letics, winning the game and being the first man to drive one over the fence. He became known as Home Rum Bradley then and there-his initials be- ing H. R. anyway.
 Stahl has sent all of these men into games that were either won beyond all doubt or hopelessly lost, and they played together as well as most first division teams do. With finish, they could carry the Red Sox through to the end of the season, and President MeAleer is confident that whatever happens to his regulars" now, his second string can win the pennant for him.

TECH, JR, cAPSIzED.
Motor Boat Was Making Forty Miles an Hour When Accident Occurred.

Yonkers, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Speeding at rate of forty miles an hour in a race of the national motor boat carni- val in the Hudson river today, the mo- tor boat Tech, Jr., was capsized by the wash from her rival, Peter Pan V., and sank. The two boats the only ones competing in Class C, were rounding the second turn almost abreast when the accident occurred.
 Malcolm Hillsboro, of Cape May, N. J., and Arthur Bobye of Atlantic City, who made up the crew of the Tech, Jr., barely escaped being carried to the bottom with their craft, but for tunately they freed themselves and were dragged ino other motor boats. Coleman Dupont owner of the Tech, Jr, hopes to raise her for races later in the week. She is reputed to be one of the fastest boats ever built.

Mack a Good Los.r.

An excellent illustration of the kind of fellow Connie Mack is, is found in his statement on the winning of the American league pennant by the Bos- ton Red Sox. Here Is what the man. ager of the Athletics said when a group of newspaper men corraled him in New York the other day:
 T congratulate the Red Sox on their wonderful year. The best club not only won, but 1t is doubtful if I could have beaten out Stahl's team with my club at its best. A great team has achieved it's deserved honor"
 In contrast to this. here is the state nent of President c. Webb Murphy of the Chicago Cubs, on the winning of the pennant by the Giants;
 The best team failed to win. We have the best ball club and everybody knows 1t. But we couldn't beat the umpires and the combination McGraw framed against us"

New Haven. Sept. 17.-That Yale will make considerable use of the for ward pass this year is indicated by the careful attention given to this play by the coaches at the practice the last few days.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept 17.-Half a dozen additions to the Harvard foot tall squad at the two practice ses- sions today brought the total number of players out for the varsity eleven to seventy. The second day of prac- tice, like the first, was one of rudi- ments. In the afternoon practice the charging machine was introduced and the candidates for line positions were set to bucking the heavy apparatus. Much kicking practice was indulged in on the order of Coach Houghton, who hopes to develop a good punter. Hard wick showed up well today, surpassing the best kicks of the other players by 15 yards.

 There are pitchers and pitchers, but for fantastic floats and infinite vari- ety among dry ball pitchers. commend us to Fucker. And part of Maps rise is due to his drop.
 Joe Wood gives much of the credit of his splendid showing to the back ing he has received this year from his team mates. He has not the slightest trace of fat -headedness.
 Maranville has demonstrated his ability as a fielder beyond d question of doubt He only needs to learn to hit to be one of the best players in the National league.
 Griffith, Wolverton, Mack, McAleer, Callahan and Stovall all American league managers, predict that the Red Sox will conquer the Giants in the worlds series.
 Just think of it, the Red Sox Stars are all under the weather-Stal, Car rigan, Wood, Speaker, Collins and Wagner. Any other team in either league would have gone to pieces long ago.
 President Lynch has exercised his option to select an umpire from the International league. His choice is W. J. Guthrie, whose release has been purchased. Guthrie will report next season.
 Tesreau is pitching such wonderful ball that the Red Sox players hold him to the utmost respect. He wins lately largely by his own efforts He has the requisite nerve to go through a worlds series and twirl winning ball
