 If you have not visited the beau tiful gardens of Skagway, do so at once as the early frosts are not far off and the gardens. which are now at their best will then have many unsightly spots for many of the most lovely blooms are most easily nipped by the cold. Many indoor plants are now at the fullest of their beauty. Mrs. ]. NJ. Tan ner has Martha Washington ger anium that cannot be surpassed in any climate; the begonias, cannas, gladoli and chief among, all, an an exquisite gold banded, Japanese lily of W. c. Blanchard are worth going to see. and all are welcome to feast their eyes on these exquisite flowers. There Is scarcely home in Skagwav but has It's windows enlivened by some favorite bit of bloom. The station Garden" is another object of interest and beauty, and all are welcome there; pansies of immense size, lovliness and fragrance, now beautify the sta ton grounds where heretofore grew not so much as a spear of grass. All that is required in the fertile soil of skagway to produce good re- suits. are seeds and little care in keeping down the weeds and be- hold. you have succeeded beyond you expectations. Try 1t next year II you doubt 1t, Cultivate few wild flowers also.

PHILLIPS AND
 BUFFALO IN WRONG
National Commission Boasts Clubs for Trying to Cover
 Up Catcher Schang

Cincinnati. Sept. 21.-The PhiIa- de1phia Club, of the National League, and Buffalo. of the International League. asked the National Baseball Commission to decide who was en- titled to the services of Player Schang, each claiming that the other had not kept faith. The Commission prO- nounced the agreement between the two clubs antag gonistic to the laws of the game, and for that reason de- clared it null and void.
 The Commission also issued a warn- ing to all national agreement clubs that a severe penalty will be imposed on any club who becomes a party to al agreement which is antagonistic to the laws of the game and injurious to the interests of ball players.
 Player Schang was obtained by draft from the Buffalo Club, by the Philadelphia American League Club and the above ruling removes all doubt as to the draft being valid.

PEhNSYLV VANIA WANTS
 TO GET GOOD PUNTER

Philadelphia, Sept. 21.-Coach smith sent the Quaker football squad through another hard practice yester- day afternoon Though it rained all afternoon he did not spare his charges and the same snappy work which has characterized the practice so far was continued to-day.
 The team is in need of another kick CT, and the coaches have their eyes open for any man who shows ability along this line. Mercer is punter of known ability, but another punter is necessary to fill the shoes of Thay- CT and Barr, who are not back this year. Simpson. a prominent line can didate, and Avery, freshman back field star, seem to be the best so far Both have been bunting nearly sixty yards consistently Minds is also do- ing well.
 The preliminary work is about com pIeted, andh if the weather permits scrimmage will be begun in few days.

TESREAU WORE DETROIT
 UNIFORM ONE AFTERNOON
Buffalo Enquirer.l

Detroit, Sept 21.-Big Jeff Tesreau, at present the real noise, was a Tiger for one afternoon only. Jeff stayed for lunch, as they say in the big legues. Detroit got him out west, paid his fare on his first trip east of the Mississippi and his mammoth build gave promise of boIstering up the Ti- gers hurling corps.
 In the moI ming practice Tesreau threw the ball fast and so wild that the batters made a scramble for safety. Hughie thought he had a find in the big fellow, but before the day was over a telegram arrived saying another club owned big Tesreau. There was a mixuD which compelled Presi- dent Prank Navin to send Tesreau back on night train, and later the Giants picked him up He showed McGraW any amount of speed this spring, but did not let the Giant lead CT see much control until a month or so ago. Then he became a wonder.
 The day Tesreau wore Tiger uni form he was as green as they make them. There was a rule going into effect that players of one team could not practice while the other team had the field The visiting club was ta- king it's fielding practice when Big Jeff strOlled out of the box and got into the way of the other club, swing ing a bat. Jack Sheridan was on the bench and asked Tesreau to get off the field Tesreau simply laughed at him. He thought Sheridan was the ground keeper Finally three or four players induced him to pay attention to the San Diego undertaken, who is none other than Umpire Sheridan in the summertime

WHY SCHULTZ WAS GIVEN
 SUSPENSION BY CHICAGO

Cincinnati, Sept. 21.-The Cubs have chucked it up. They have de- cided that it's no use. and that it would be far better to conserve their energies for the city series with the White Sox than to break their backs in a useless chase, lose out at the finish, and go against the Sox in an exhausted condition. Some of them won't be fit to go against anybody in any condition at any time if they don't behave and Frank Chance is making a fierce effort to get them into shape again. He suspended Frank Schulte ecentIy-told him he was through for the rest of the sea son-and thus plastered the first big sting on the great fielder that has been handed the German in eight years.
 SchuIte has been kicking over the traces and having the time of his bright young life. His thirtieth birth day came along during the series right royalty. While still celebrating he encountered his boss. and them cruel words was said.'' Hence it was that when the Reds went to Syracuse along with them, and not towards Boston with his pals. Schulte lives in Syracuse. and went home to think it over. His temporary dismissal, the fact that the Cubs are all shot to pieces, and a. general spirit of reck- lessness throughouut the team can
 
 have chucked it up Not in years, when even within ten games Eof the flag, have the Cubs passed up their fight They have always been the gamest, hardest-scrapping nerviest of teams. Once-in 190S-they start ed to make their last Eastern trip a joy-ride, thinking everything was over, but Chance stopped them by threatening to thrash any man whom he caught even drinking a beer. By personal influence and magnetism Chance whipped them into line and won fag-but that was years ago. and Chance is now too sick and weary to control the reckless eIernent in the once great team. The Cubs are through. They made a glorious fight, one of the best in the history of thev game, and you can hardly blame them for getting bitter and running wild when you think of their evil luck Brown and Cheney crippled when most needed, and the back bone of the defense, Archer, laid up just when they had their final chance to win.

 McGoorty may soon be matched with Mike Gibbons. who started his 1912-1913 middle-weight campaign aus Iiciously, the first victim being Young Mccartney. Mike is on the bill at the Garden Monday along with. McGoorty and Harrison. The fall guy will be Tommy Maboney, who until recently boxed in the lightweight ranks, but he is now a regular" midd1e-weight.
