land has won seven and lost the
same number IN the ninth inning.

TO FIGHT
OUTLAW LEAGUE
Would Organize Third Major
Circuit to Kill Federal
League.
SAID TO HAVE BACKING

CHICAGO, Aug. ga new league,
which shall have the sanction of or
ganized baseball, and which shall be
the weapon with which organized ball
shall attack the Federal League. Is
planned by John Powers, deposed
president of the Feedral organiza-
ton. He left here last night for
trip through ten cities to enlist sup
port for the movement.
Powers claims the support of GER
tain elements in the National and
American leagues. and in spite of the
collapse of his plans this year he eX-
poets to be the head of third major
league. He has been in st. Louis,
where he claims support; has can
vassed Chicago, and now will go to
Indianapolis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh,
Baltimore, New York. Montreal,
Toronto and Buffalo to confer with
those interested in third league
scheme, the details of which he Is not
yet at liberty to make public, he said.
1t is reported that the Federal League
has cut into the receipts of American
Association teams at Kansas City
and Indianapolis, and that Powers
may receive aid from some Associa-
ton clubs. 1t is stated that more
than one of the club owners in the
Federal would welcome a chance to
change.
Powers, who still is nominally pres
ident of the Federal League, was
given a vacation by the directors early
in the season. The leave of absence
Is to last until fall, when 1t Is the
plan to name his successor. He broke
with the club owners when he want
ed to transfer game between Pitts
burgh and Chicago, scheduled for
Chicago. to Sheffield, ILL.,, his home.
He secured a large guarantee and
after all arrangements had been made
the Chicago club refused to transfer
the game. A league meeting followed
at which Powers was released from
his duties.

New York fans figure that the race
SO far as the Philadelphia team is
concerned ended Saturday and that
the Giants just about cinched the
pennant when they took two games
away from Chicago.
Though Villas, a Cuban pitcher for
Long Branch, famed ten men and
allowed only hvs hits, the Cincin-
natl Reds won from Long Branch by
a score Of Is yesterday. Aragon,
shortstop for the Long Branch team,
and recently purchased by the Bcs-
ton Nationals. fell and fractured his
kneecap in the lme.
Jack Barry got back in the game
at shortstop for the Athletics yes
terday, repairing the break in Mack's
100000 infield. Jack had a hit In
three tries and made two assists.
Fred Luderus. the Philly flrstsack-
er has made sixteen home runs this
season.
Most fans think that Philadelphia
got the better Of the deal by which
Bryne and Camnitz become Cuakers
and Dolan and o lump of money be-
comes Barney DreyfuS's property.
Eddie Murphy, former Oriole, has
made six hits in his last ten times
at bat for the Athletics.
Roger Peckinpaugh. who has been
playing high class ball for the Yanks
will be out of the game for a week
with a twisted ankle.

Australian Rocket" Triumphs
After Kramer, Grenda and
Mcnamara Are Forced Out.
MDOUGALL CAPTURES OPErl
Amateur Champ Takes Threes
Mile Event, but Is Beaten
in Mile Handicap.

Before q record crowd at the 'Velo-
drome yesterday afternoon little
Jackie Clark rode to victory In the
twenty flve-mlle Tartar stakes, lead
ing the way for ten survivors OF the
hardest race ever run at the local
track. A representative field of
thirty professionals started In the
race, which included all of the best
PRO" men in America with the ex-
ception of ALI Goullet, who hobbled
to the track with the aid Of a cane,
and witnessed the race from the
grand stand. One by one the field
was lessened as the hot pace that
marked the contest from the gun con-
tinued lap after lap until the finish
was reached. The Tartar stakes was
well named. for many sterling dis
lance riders were compelled to drop
out long before the finish.
Champion Frank Kramer was
forced out OF the race after going
nineteen miles and two laps on ac-
count of fiat tire, much to the dis
comfiture OF the tttle-holder, who was
out to win, for he had suffered hui
initiating defeat at the bonds of Bob
Spears earlier in the afternoon. Ree.
gle Mcnamara, one of the favorites
for first place in the contest, was put
out by Grassy Ryan on the last lap
of the ninth mile as the pair We're
sprinting around the turnout of the
backstretch for the special prize for
the tenth mile. Ryan was being held
off by the Australian and he DELHI
erately knocked him down. Ryan fin
ished fourth, but was disqualified and
set down indefinitely by Referee Ar
thur Ross.
Big ALI Grenda went out of the
race shortly after Kramer retired
with a puncture, and Frank Cav
anagh went out from the same cause
after taking the special prize at ten
miles. The special lap prizes were
very attractive to the lesser lights
and they made the pace fast and
jumped frequently in attempts to get
away and steal a lap on the field.
The big men were out to win and
never allowed the little fellows to get
far away. The lap heroes were Lloyd
Thomas, Ernie Pye, Fred Hill and
Willie Coburn, and little Thomas
came in for almost as much applause
as Clark, the winner of the race.
Paddy Hehir made speciality of the
intermediate five-mile prizes and took
three out of the four.
Clark and Spears laid back
throughout the race waiting for the
finish, and while they had an easier
ride than any OF the Others who sur

SMITH SWITCHES
DATE FOR CLARKE
Bengal Leader Glad to Do Fa-
vOr for Former
Boss.
NEWARK IDLE THURSDAY
Especial to the Newark start

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. 25.-
Manager Harry Smith. of the Tigers,
has consented to do the Buffalo club
q favor and in so doing is aiding his
old chieftain, Fred Clarke, leader OF
the Buccaneers. The Buffalo and Pitts
burgh clubs wanted to play an eXn1-
bition game Thursday at Buffalo. Inc
Tigers were originally scheduled TO
perform there, but Harry graciousiy
consented to, play double-header on
Saturday, giving Pittsburgh chance
to nick up some money and BUFFALO
fans q chance to see the great Wag-
ner and his fellow Pirates In actloh
against the Herd Thursday whiie
Newark will be idle.
The race is over, and the Rochester
fans eoncede the pennant TO the
Tigers. but the Bengals are not eX-
neeting the Hustlers to lie down ana
plav the part of doormats.
Rochester fans are all worked up
over the Quinn-Schmidt trade Win
tba Boston Nationals. This pair OF
,1ievers. IL Is reported, are to go to
Roston. but the deal seems to be UNI
confirmed by official sources in Roch-
ester. The Hustler fans are naturally
looking for something big In return.
Rumor hath 1t that the st. Louis
Browns have offered five players for
Truesdale and Main, of the Bisons.
The Newark Club obtained Dueky
Holmes from Buffalo just at the right
time. After August 20 no deals can
be transacted between international
League clubs. This is done so that
there can be no cliquing together FOR
one club to aid another in obtaining
some coveted position.
"Donlin may manage Jersey Cities.
buffalo Times. Why make it plural?
Preposterous and impossible! Jer-
sey Cities" can mean nothing put
Newark and Jersey City. What shali
we do with Harry Smith?
Rochester and Buffalo dearly love
one another. Rochester is known as
.'Morguetown" in Buffalo. On the
other hand, a Rochester fan knows
that the Rochester scrivener is speak,
ing of Buffalo when he "crochets
the name "Blufftown" in his output.
Read this from the Rochester Union
and Advertiser:
"F'rom the way Buffalo papers talk
about Wally Schang and the kind OF
ball he is playing for the Athletics
one would think the Athletics hung
UP their lids in Blufftown, instead Oh
Philadelphia"

-FOUR CONTESTS IN
THE FLOWER CITY.
Bengals' Schedule Requires a
Quartet of Games With
HustIers.
A DOUBLE-HEADER TODAY

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Aug. 25.-The
oddly constructed International
League schedule requires four games
with the Rochester club to be played
here in the Flower City within the
next three days. A doubie-header is
scheduled today, and the Tigers. after
riding all night from Montreal have
twice their usual work to perform.
Manager Harry Smiths men have
had plenty of rest in Montreal. how
ever, and the pitching staff Is in good
shape.
The Tigers got in only one of their
three scheduled games at Montreal,
rain spelling yesterdays double
header. The teams had fought three
rounds of the first game and the score
stood / to against Newark when the
drops came down. and the clouds
started to leak. Six thousand fans
grabbed their rain checks and the
Newark club mournfully watched
President Sam Liohtenhein reduce
the figures of the Tiger check from
$500 to $500
While the Tigers won the series
from the Royals on the seasons REQ
ord by taking eleven and losing nine
games to Kitty Bransfield's men,
every kAIIlo D6LW0Cll ANOWohn e%AhN
Montreal this season was hard-fought
and the Tigers found the Royals a
hard proposition every time they
played.
During this trip, the last of the sea-
son for Newark, around the upper
end of the circuit, the Smithies were
scheduled to play only three games,
but the Rochester series this season
has been all split up owing to num-
H,,efIaru naQdA IN
Newark for Sunday games. Instead
of playing four games on their last
trip here the Tigers met the Roches-
ter team only twice in double Dill.
Rochester fans are expected to
turn out in big round numbers today
because of the added attraction or
seeing Raleigh Aitchison, the leagues
best pitcher, on the mound for New
ark. Aitchison and Lew McCarty Will
pack up after todays games and
head for Brooklyn.
Cliff Curtis, the new Bengal finger,
was yordered to report to Newark at
Rochester today. There Is possi-
bility that he may twirl for the Tigers
in one of the games.
George Bell started yesterdays bat
tie at Montreal and went only three
innings. Bell will probably be given
a rest today to work tomorrow or
Wednesday. Cy Barger. who has
been very successful against the
Hustlers, will work in one of the
games here.
Ducky Holmes lost his first game to
Montreal Saturday. His record In
Newark uniform is four victories and
one defeat. Before Joining the Tigers
Ducky had won five and lost three
games for Buffalo, so he has a record
of nine victories and four defeats for
the season with the two clubs.

Newark is a great bicycle town.
More than $1,000 people turned out to
witness the races yesterday. And
they saw some mighty good racing,
too.
The pace in the 25-mile race was
fast at all times. At the twentieth
mile the riders were only "a seconds
behind the record for the distance,
while at the finish they were l min
ute s2-5 seconds behind 4he record
time of Sab, made by Kramer at
New Haven, on July IA, 1910.
The fall of Mcnamara and pune
lures of Grenda, Kramer, Cavanagh
and Root robbed the finish of the race
of lot of interest
Clark rode q fine racing. During
the early part of the race he did not
seem to pay any attention to position,
but after the twentieth mile he kept
near the front at all times.
Bob Spears remained in last, or
very near last, position, until the
twenty-fourth mile. Then he moved
up bit.
Norman Hansen, Lloyd Thomas,
Ernie Pye and Willie Coburn were
the principal gamers through the lap
prize route Hansen annexed twenty
seven of the dollar bills hung UP.
| Thomas got twenty-six, Pye took
down thirteen and Coburn nineteen.
Clark got one of the 81 prizes and
could have had several more during
the latter part OF the race had he not
stalled and called to Hansen, Morton
or Thomas to go after the single
Ducks"
Gus Wohlrab was roundly Kissed for
fouling McDougall in the three-mile
open. Wohlrab deserved the Kisses and
also the disqualification and suspen-
sion melted out by Referee Ross, as
the switch was a particularly DELHI
crate, open and vicious one.
The Motordrome amateurs, with the
exception of Gus Wohlrab, were on
their good behavior 1t being the first
time they have been allowed to ride
at the Velodrome since their desertion
last May.
Johnny Hayes, the winner of the
Marathon race at the London olym-
piad of 1908, was at the track.

BRITTONS DON'T WANT TO
SELL ST. LOUIS CLUB

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Denial Of
current reports that the present own
ers of the st. Louis Nationals con-
femplated a sale of the club II the
right price were offered is contained
m a statement by Schuyler p. Brit
ton, made public here last night. Mrs.
Helen II. r. Britton, his wife, who
owns a majority interest in the Car
dinals, has no intention of selling the
club, her husband declares, and on
the contrary, after having spent $780,
900 for players this season, the club
is willing to spend that much more II
It can find the right men and give St.
Louis O winning team.

After riding almost five miles with
his rear firing slowly going down
from a puncture, Champion Kramer
was forced to retire at eighteen miles
and five laps.
Fred Hill and George Cameron came
together on the lower turn with two
laps to go in the big race. Hill got
a hard fall, but Cameron managed to
stay on his wheel.
Wee Willie" Murray got his first
fall at the track yesterday. The mid
get went down in the first heat of the
mile handicap, but was not injured,
Strange to say, McDougall, the lit
tie amateur champion, did not get a
single hand of applause when he
made his first appearance on the
track yesterday. He came on Just as
the crowd was applauding Spears for
beating Kramer in the two-thirds-
mile handicap and McDougall was not
noticed.
Spears apparently caught Kramer
asleep in the final of the handicap, as
he was past the champion before the
latter knew he was coming. Spears
was going very fast and 1t is doubtful
if Kramer could have kept the lead
had he been watching for Spears.
Frank Kramer could have had q
new world record to his credit just
as well as not in his heat of the two
thirds-mile handicap. Jake Magin
was the winner of the heat in IA flat,
which is one-fifth of u second less
than the record time established by
Paddy Hehir at Salt Lake City on
July Fl, 1911. Kramer rode very fast
until he was in second place and then
when he knew he would qualify for
the final eased up, finishing a wheel
length behind Magin If he had
known a record was in sight and had
kept on going he would probably have
finished under lila.
Grassy Ryan drew disqualified
ton and suspension from the referee
for causing Mcnamara to fall in the
big race.
Mcnamara went down on the bell
lap for the tenth mile when Ryan
rode him off the track on the Mum
avenue side. Ryan then came on and
tried to grab the $40 intermediate
mile prize, but Cayanagh fooled him
by nipping him right at the finish.
