He is more than 40 years old and pitched for the Philadel- phia Nationals in 1S90-the Brotherhood year. Even at this stage of the game Gleason pitches to the Sox for batting practice and can show a lot of speed. He has been of immeasureable service to Manager Callahan this year; and Own CT Comiskey says he can draw salary as long as he likes. Maybe Gleason will be manager some day.

THE PATHFINDERS

Columbia, Tenn, August 10.-(Special)- After their sensational run of los miles yesterday, the national tour pathfinders added 431h miles to the mileage today, running over to this city late this after room, preparatory to an early morning start tomorrow for Memphis, about 2i0 miles from here They expect to reach that city Monday The route lies via Corinth, Miss. and Florence and Sheffield, Ala.
 Today's exhaustive investigation proved the Bristol route, which is all in Tennes- sec. impracticable, owing to ferries. To- days run was over toll road at cents Ter mile, but smooth as a billiard table. Hard rains fell today and the occupants of the Flanders Electric look for possible discomforts under wheels while travelling on the luxury in their handsome car.

F'leharty Bests the Barons Again

New York. August 10.-tSpecia1) )-If the National league pennant race was be- tween Chicago and New York it would be no sure thing that the westerners would not take the race. For some reason the Cubs seem to play their best and the Giants their poorest game when the two clubs meet. And it is only because of the fact that the McGraw men easily beat teams that in turn beat Chance s aggregation that the New Workers main tain their lead.
 It's like the old story of the dog, the possum and the coon. The coon can whip the dog, the dog the possum and the 'possum the coon. It's one of those things no fellow can figure out. As it is I see no reason to change my opinion that the Giants have the National league pennant pretty well sewed up. McGraws 5 machine is still running pretty smoothly though it is not going at quite so fast clip as it was before the last western trip. It is safe to win at least 50 per cent of its games. probably more. and if It does it's hard to see how 1t can be headed
 In the American league the race Is not
 
 quite so certain, but the Red sox have as long a lead over the Athletics as the Giants have over the Cubs and are go- ing along at a fast clip. The Washington club, it is true, is pretty close up, but 1t is hardly likely that the Senators can keep up the pace till the end of the season. As it is they have been the won der of the year.
 Dooins team is one of the best right now in either league. The Big Five" Paskert, Lobert. Magee, Cravath and Lu- derus-facetiously named the "Wreeking Crew" may be said without fear of con- tradiction, to be the best run-getting quintette in either league. The first four are batting over 300. Luderus is hitting at that clip in recent games, and his binges come when they are needed.
 But while the "Wrecking Crew. pro- duces the runs, the pitchers keep their opponents from scoring. And for that req son Alexander, Rixey. Brennan and Moore-with Seaton and Shultz as relief twirlers-must be given due credit for the recent successes of the Quakers Knabe and Doolan, too, whose wonderful guard iaffship of that important keystone sack has brought them press notices galore in the west must be considered factors Kilifer's catching is a big help, for uuiiiS tHe SaihcS "ith T IieiSpuiS He threw out base runners who would have scored later had they been successful in their attempts to steal.
 Taken as a whole, the Quaker team is playing with that spirit which is bound to bring results. Just so long as the "wrecking crew continues to wreck" and the pitchers, infieders and catchers keep up their classy work. the Quakers will win the majority of their games
 
 If the Giants and Red Sox win their respective pennants, one of the most ann bilious trips ever undertaken by base ball teams is practically certain. After the worlds series 1t Is proposed to go across the continent, playing games in the principal cities, then to go to Ha- waii.

JAMES THORPE TOOK EIGHT MEN TO PUT HIM IN CITY JAIL
BILL TOKEN TELLS OF A HORSE
 WHICH DUCKED WHEN HE THREW

Pitcher Bill Foxen believes that the horse has nearly as much sense as a human. The cause of this belief happened when Foxen was quite a kid and was pitching his first game in professional ranks. At Jersey City in 1903 the prom ising southpaw. just fresh from college, was on the mound for the Jeresy City team in the Eastern league.
 It seemed there was one enthusiastic fan who was providentially denied the use of his legs and as the result always drove out to the ball game in a buggy drawn by a pure white horse. In those days there was a driveway which ran right up close 10 first and those who cared to witness the game in vehicles might drive there.
 'In the first inning" said the leader of the Baron Harmony Four, "I was bit wild and passed the first man up. With the second man at bat I threw to first base in an effort to pick the runner off first. My throw was wild and if went right into the driveway. which was on a line from the pitchers box to first base.
 "The wild throw hit the white horse on the head and it was a pretty vicious smack. too. Later on in the game l had occasion to throw to first and to my surprise saw that the horse ducked his head downward. The third baseman noticed 1t and they had a fine time kid. ding me because I had even the horses lodging when I threw
 However, I thought 1t was just a pure coincidence, and when the other pitch CTS threw to first base in the next few games the white horse, which always saw every battle, would not move bit. About four days later I went back into the box and every time l threw to first base the horse would duck his head.
 Just why he did not dodge when the other pitchers threw to first I don't know and especially so, since there was an- other left-handed pitcher on the club. Evidently he had my number for I was a bit wild when I was kid. That's the reason believe horses have sense."

 Hans Wagner was elevated to the rank of captain of the team this year and has played a wonderful game. Many believe that the Dutchman would make a wonderful manager as he is popular with the players and fans and is still the wonderful player him. self.

Chattanooga at Mobile.
 Montgomery at Memphis. Atlanta at New Orleans.

Nashville, August 10.-(Special)= Earl Fleharty faced Birmingham today for the first time since he "beaned" 11llam, although 1t was noticeable that the Volunteer pitcher did not bring his bean" ball into effect He did not need it however, since he had, to all appearances, every other kind of a ball that was ever invented and held the Barons at all times after the first inning when they scored their only run. For seven innings he held Bir- mingham to two hits and eased up in the last two rounds. giving three more before the game was over.
 Bill Trough was fairly effective but lost his own game when he allowed Nashville to bunch three hits on him with two down in the first inning, scoring a couple of runs. After the first inning he was a mystery until the fifth when the combination of a dou- ble and a single scored another for Nashville. Trough allowed but six hits and walked but one man.
 Marcan Stars in Field
 Both sides felded well. Marcan and Mcbride starring for the visitors and Perry carrying off the honors for the home team. Perry repeatedly cut off hits by his fast fielding of bunts. Lat timore's work in the field was also good.
 Things looked gloomy for Nashville in the first inning when Birmingham scored one. Marcan walked and was forced at second when Messenger grounded to third base. Messenger was safe on a fielders choice and was sacrificed to second by Johnston, SCOT ing on Almeida's long double to left field which hit the bull on the bounce McGlvray then walked but Mcbride flew out to Welchonce
 Nashville Scores Three Runs
 Nashville scored two In their half of the first. Lattmore famed and Young grounded out to Marcan. Vel chonce came to time with a clean sin gle to center field and Perry singled to right. Messenger fielded the ball so fast that Welohonce, who had started. home ran back to third base when the ball was thrown home, arriving safe ly and Perry took second on the throw in. Bill Schwartz then tappad an easy one behind second base. which Mar can managed 10 get under but could not hold. This went for d safe hit Two runs were scored on this play and Bill Schwartz was thrown out at second trying to make that base on the throw in.
 In the fifth inning James, who played today for the first time since his fathers death, doubled to right field, was sacrificed by Lindsay and scored on Elliott's single 10 right One of the largest crowds of the season witnessed the game. which was an un- usually fast one and interesting.
