If I attempted to use him here the National Commission would get after me.
 ! Tn the case of Third Baseman OBrien the question of transportation had nothing to do with the, matter. A friend of Owner F'reeman's was trying to sign OBrien for Bridgeport but learned that the player had given a written promise to join Springfield if he decided going into league ball OBrien first said he couldn't come to Bridgeport because he didn't have any decent clothes. MT. Freeman's agent not only offered him transportation but also volunteered to buy O'Brien 8 suit of clothes. Then O'Brien admit ted he had given his promise tc Springfield.

Some time ago in Edinburgh pO- liceman caught female thief in the act of stealing a banknote. Seen with the note in her hand when caught, much to the surprise of the constable no trace of it could be found when she was searched; but, the evidence being so strong, she was sentenced to nine months Imprisonment. On being re- leased she observed the officer who had apprehended her and, going up to him, exclaimed:
 See, I'm out againr'
 ''So see, replied the officer. "But, say, what did you do with that note? I've often wondered, for, you know, caught you by the hand that held if. !"
 Seizing the policeman by The arm, she laughed in his face and said:

TUCKEY HAS
 ANOTHER WIN
 TO HIS CREDIT
Rv Wagnerl


 Life is just one victory after an- other for Dick Tuckey. All the flax en haired flinger has to do is throw up the folks in Union City and tell them to post the score at Watson's 8 Corner. Dick walked into the box against Springfield yesterday at Sea Breeze and dropped the Ponies by 2 to 1. It was cruel way to treat Springfield for Tuckey frequently, al- lowed the enemy to get upon the oas- es, only to throw them for loss when for ten hits. Tn four innings the first two men got on but in only one round did anybody make the circuit.
 Hooks Cunningham, who formerly sported a Bridgeport uniform, was hurled against the Mechanics and was treated quite harshly. Errors in the first two innings paved the way for local runs but in the seventh and eighth the boys got to Cunny. Har- vey Russell was the proud father of Miller beIted one to left for a homer in the eighth. Owner Freeman was sitting on the press bench and he sent a boy out to greet each gladiator with five spot as he crossed the home dish.
 The Mechanics grabbed eight hits. Bob Stow had double and single and Jack Spratt produced a timely three bagger Skipper Eley pulled down a fly from Ryans bat in the eighth that killed a base hit and Jack Spratt made one of his whoop Ia plays. In the second with Weigo1d on first, Wa ters hit hard grounder to shortstop. Spratt went after it but slipped just as he grabbed the ball. While squat ting on the ground, he threw to Stow forcing Weiso1d The score:

The triumph of the Yankee stars pulled Sweden from the lead it had taken in the point standing by virtue of winning the javelin contest Sat urday. America in the strictly ath- 1etic events, the real Olympic Games, now leads with ten points, a total greater than that of all the other na, tons combined. Sweden Is second with three points. Finland and Nor way are tied for third with twopoiuts each, and Bohemia with one point forms the rear guard.

 Dire Prediction of Voliva.

Chicago, July S.-Comparison of jSodom and Gomorrah with Chicago. today, looks bad for Chicago, accord ing to Wilbur Glenn Voliva, Zion City leader. Addressing members of his flock in this city. he said:
 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, so Gods Judgment is going to fall upon the cities of this land and upon Chicago first. There is only one city that will not be de- stroyed That is Zion City. I com mand all of you to leave this city of wickedness and come to Zion.''
 Voliva announced, today, that he would order closed all branch churches of his faith and that all his followers over the country would be- called to Zion City.

The Tacoma club of the Northwest ern League has just tablished a new record for rapid and continued des- cent. It took Tacoma just one week to go from first place to last in the club standing.
 One Western correspondent says that gallant does not describe the at tempts of the Giants to run away with the National League pennant. Brazen he says, is the word, and Marquard has been the worst offender.
 Harry Davis seems to have found in Griggs just the man he wanted for first base for the Cleveland Maps. That has been weak position on the club all season. Hohnhorst did not pan out as was expected. Lajoie play ed a good game at first, but he is more valuable at second.
 It begins to look as though John Cancels Rochester club, three time winners in the International League, have fight on their hands. Balti- more threatens to win the pennant. Providence. Newark, Jersey City. and Baltimore recently took turns in beat it was possible for some other club to win out.
 Rumors that Ed Walsh was not giv- ing the White Sox his best efforts and that there was internal dissension in the club are being consistently de- nied. It is said on good authority that Walsh has not only worked ear- nestly for the team but that he wore himself out in his efforts to help the club stay on top and for that reason is not now pitching as good ball as earlier in the season.
 The effect Of giving birth to new hopes is being demonstrated in Wash ington. For years Capital City fans paid their money at the gate and ut tered nary a sigh nor complaint. It was contented family Then came the sensational seventeen game spurt which gave the team a chance at the pennant. Now much less than be- ing satisfied with last place, Washing ton turns up it's nose at fifth and will be satisfied with nothing short of a first division berth, all the time hav- ing high hopes of pennant.
 And at that there is some. founda- ton for their hopes of a winner Washington is not yet out of the race. As it looks now the gonfaIon is fIut- tering within the grasp of at least three clubs, with the odds in favor of Boston and the Athletics but with the Senators still in the running
 Charlie Hemphill, the former Yam kke, is having considerable trouble with his Atlanta team. His pitching staff is not working as he would like it to and this has been the main req son why the club has not been more successful.
 The Yankees begin home stay that while it promises little for the team in the way of present success will give Manager Wolverton a chance to try out several new players.

 Earl Gardner, who was a member of the Hartford club in 1909, has been sold by the New York Americans to Cleveland. Gardner has done good work for New York but his playing has suffered because of the slump will probably do better under Harry Davis in Cleveland.
 Johnny Barron has the honor of be- ing the leading pitcher of the Connec- ticut league today. He shares the ven and Knapp of Waterbury. neither of whom is credited with losing a game. Barron has won three and lost none. Dick Tuckey has the great record of nine won and four lost.
 Gus Gardella was at Lighthouse point with Hartford yesterday but did not play. He is expected to get into the game with the Senators this week Gardella says the hot weather at Mobile put him out of business
 Tomorrow will be ladies day at Newfeld. The Waterbury club will be the attraction and Johnny Barron will be sent out to bring home the bacon. He has already beaten the spuds twice and thinks he can turn the trick again.
 Some fan put over joke at Sea Breeze yesterday that got laugh. Af- ter Harvey Russell had lambasted 3 home run, Owner Freeman sent kid over to present the catcher with a $5 bill Later Skipper Eley wa1tzed up and famed. Give Skipper nickel for that" yelled the fan, and even the players had to laugh.
 The local club still needs another first class pitcher and an effort is be- ing made fo land a man.
