by the company free OF cost.
George A. Elliott, In speaking OF the
Christmas tree today, said:
This tree will IN no way interfere
with the custom OF gift giving by the

presents are given 70 the children.

thinks It best TO have the gifts dis
irihuted at the Court House. provld-
ed the Levy Court does not object.
I'VE feel that we ought to have some
music at the tree on Christmas morn

The bands OF the city, no doubt. will
be generous at this season. The
music would be great help &c The
occasion. II has been suggested that
the tree be lighted on Christmas eve,
and that some OF the church or musi-

give the people some music. The Ger

We also hope to have singing under

In anQther place where the tree was
being discussed. one man said: "New

Eddie Ainsmith lost 20 cents to Gedeor
in pitch game and then broke up the
game, accusing Gedeon of cheating.
Billy Fowler was referee of the combat
and no bloodshed was noticed.
Walter johnson and a number of the
boys went for motor car rides last
night. but most of the players returned
early to gain what sleep they lost on
the long, monotonous ride from New
York.
Jack Ryan, official gumshoe of the
Climbers, reported to Manager Griffith
here last night, and says that there are
no good players in the bushes He has
been securing the minor league teams
in the Middle West for the last two
weeks, and has little to show for his
exertions. He may accompany the
team to Cleveland. though it is possible
that he may be shunted South in a day
or so in a hunt for good pitchers.
The Tigers have a promising south
paw twirler in Walter Elder, this years 8

He has replaced Clauss as the practice
pitcher for the Jungaleers. Elder Is a
well set-up youngster, who may de-

Murphy and Evers Will
Pay Penalty With Fine

NEW YORK, July e.-Seismographic
disturbances yesterday had the grey
boards of science just about ready to
climb a tree until they learned that
President Tom Lynch had handed down
a ruling on Sundays forfeiture by Chi
cago to ST Louis.
Lynch handed the Cubs a double
wallcp-he fined Murphy the stipulated
thousand dollars and soaked Johnny
Evers. the keystone King, fifty. If
these fines are not paid within five
days Chicago's franchise is forfeited,
whereupon the Great Zim. Rajah Bres-
nahan, Trojan Evers. Jimmy Archer
and all c. Webb Murphys goods and
chattels become confscated to the octo-
pus of sport
According to Uncle Charlie Dryden,
who accompanies the Cubs in the In
terests of Hearst's Chicago Examiner,
Murphy and his legion were properly
'DutChed" as result of Sunday 8
fiascO. The crowd rushed onto the field
and bore off Umpire Nal Eason in tri-
umph. Then il marshalled upon Muir
phys offices to voice its approval. The
more fighty of the disappointed pa
irons agitated mob violence.
"Eut," concluded Charlie, tickle
fandom doesn't worry Murph. The
West Side boys may come to jeer. but
they have to pass the turnstiles to in
dulge their acrimony. He should

DETROIT, Mich, July s.-Prospects
for the double-header with the Tigers
today are none too bright, as the sky
is overcast and there is every indica-
tion that rain will fall before night,
and probably before the teams conclude
the days engagements.
Manager Griffith may decide to send
Walter johnson into the first game at
Sportsmen's Park, and te greatest
hurler Of them all should win. as the
day is to his liking With dark clouds
hanging down, Johnson. after his long
rest, should be in superb form.

Gently sent home from st. Louis, will
be out OF the series here. The Detroit
star injured his knee in a game with
the White Sox and when the team went
to st. Louis was sent home to have
the injured member looked after.
Examination revealed the fact that
the knee was not injured as was at
first supposed. and while there Is a
certain amount of infection in the the
spike wound, the Tiger outfelder will
be able to resume playing in a week.
Cobb has been heavily handicapped by
the injury, his knee having swollen to
that he could hardly walk.

and Mike Kahoe. both of whom heport-
ed last night. Ryan appeared in time
for supper, but Kahoe did not arrive
until late at night They have been

Griffmen.
Today tey unfolded all their informa-

drafts will be put in for players seen
in actio by these two Argus-eyed
scouts. Rya has been working through
the Canadian and South Michigan
Leagues for the last three weeks, and
had an easy time coming here from
Pontiac. He is not saying anything for
the dear public, not caring to tip off
other big league managers to what may
be found in the bushes. However. Ryan
doesn't hesitate to say that no Ty

tion-Connie Picks Three Teams
By SENATOR

DETROIT, Mich, July 9.-Connie Mack
| Is quoted as saying that the teams In
the two hot cities, Washington and st.
Louis, have no chance to win major
league flag unless they are at least %
per cent stronger than every other team
in the league" Just how he reasons
this is hard to see. Baseball Is baseball
as much now as ever in the past, and
many teams In history have won cham
pionships in "hot cities" Indeed, Phtla-
delphia is as hot in the summer a.
either Washington or st. Louis, and yet
Connie fails to take this into considers

copped while Comiskey and his Browns
were making records.
Cincinnati, another city, said by Con-
race, once had team that went
through an entire season in the Ma
tional League without losing a single
game. OF course, this was long ago.
when baseball was conducted different
ly. not as many games being scheduled.
etc, but nevertheless many Of these
games were played at home.
Coming down a bit later. to the SOS,
Baltimore won pennants from teams sit
uated as far north as Chicago, Detroit,
and Boston, and nothing was ever heard
of the direful effects Of the heat in
Baltimore. Certainly Baltimore expert
ences as much heat In the summer as
either Washington or St Louis.
Just how Connie reasons that Phila-
deIphia's wasting summer heat Is less
harmful to athletes than Washington's
weather is awaiting explanation. 1t is
admitted at the start that Washing
ton, st. Louis and Cincinnati have much
humidity with their warm weather, but
Philadelphia is in the same boat. Sum-
mer in the Land of Nod is by no means
one grand, sweet song for the toiling
athlete.
II weather alone decided pennants,
Cleveland, Chicago and Boston, having
