AIDS DIAMOND STARS;
NOT FOR PUBLICITY
Bonesetter Reese Hides in Mount Glenn
ems Hotel-He Hates All News
paper Notoriety.
WAGNER FAR FROM GALL In"

Detroit. Oct. ia man, his hair so
white as to seem like finely spun threads
Of silver, ran up the steps leading to
the Colonial Hotel at Mt. Clemens, Mich,
a few days ago.
The man. with eyes of blush gray, had
cheeks that were flushed with the glow
of health. His mustache, which was
as silvery as his hair. dropped over lips
that seemed as though they had been
chiseled in his face. His features were
as free from wrinkles as a youths
The stranger, who attracted the atten-
tion of even the patients Of a Mt. Glenn
ems bath house, entered the swinging
doors of the hotel, and stepping briskly
to the desk, wrote:
John d. Reese, Youngstown. o., wife
and daughter"
I'D like suite of rooms, front rooms"
he said, as he stood at attention, it
seemed, in front of the desk.
Yes, Mr.. Reese" returned the clerk.
after glancing at the book and taking in,
from the tail of his eye, the baggage
that was following the visitors. A uni
formed boy ran at the summons, and
MIR. Reese, wife and daughter" were
taken to their apartments
MI clemens WAS now the nome OF
"Bonesetter'' Reese, the famous special
list, who in the past ten or fifteen years
has restored hundreds of major league
ball players to their original health and
strength.
The "bonesetter," as he was generally
known, was resting in his room and he
was not disposed to meet any visitors,
much less a newspaper man. A mes
sage had been previously sent, saying
that "a few minutes of the bonesetter's
time would be appreciated" but there
came return that 1t was impossible"
A friend was then called to the rescue
and grudgingiy the man from Youngs-
town gave an interview.
Really, 1 am seldom interviewed: 1
despise notoriety and 1 don't know what
can say that will be of interest"
growled Reese by the way Of introduc-
ton.
"But you have repaired the injured
arms and legs OF hundreds of major
league ball players-don't you think, then.
that the public, especially the baseball
public, is interested in you2' was the
countering return.
But 1 know very few ball players,
while it is true enough that 1 have
treated hundreds of them / rarely asked
a players name. In fact, l haven't
asked a man his name since 1905. That's
a long time, you know.
81 have been to but one baseball game
in four years. That was this spring.
when attended the opening game in
Pittsburgh. 1 went there at the earnest
request of Barney Dreyfussr president of
the Pittsburgh club.
He wanted me to be there because 1
had treated Hans Wagner but "A short
time before. And by the way, Hans is
far from being all in as major league
player. His leg is just as strong as
ever it was and there is no reason-un-
less the great player succumbs to the
criticism OF the masses-why Hans should
not continue In the game for some years.
His muscles show no signs of ex-
haustion, but there is a grave fear in
my mind that Hans will sink before the
adverse comment of the newspapers"

MANAGER oLIvERI REPLIES.
Vigilants' Leader Says Cardinal'
Here Had Good Chance.

Sporting Editor, Washington Herald.
Dear Sir: In answer to the Cardinals,
of Alexandria, article in a local paper,
wish to enlighten the sporting public
by the following facts:
We defeated the Cardinals last year
by one point, after playing two eight
minute and two ten-minute quarters,
something unheard of in championship
contests, but which was demanded by a
Mr.. Snowden, Of that team, after seeing
we had big crowd and knowing We had
to give in to his demand or dissapoint
the public.
Now, this year they came TO me for a
game and made unreasonable demands.
one Of which was 40 per cent of the gross
receipts, which / decline. l offered them
n good guarantee or f1attering percen-
tage, but to date they have done nothing
but use newspaper columns for free ad-
vertising. Why don't they come to my
Office at. 40 Tenth Street Northwest and
talk business? Let them post 800 as
forfeit to go as a guarantee to appear
and play, and abide by, the referees de-
cision, in any sporting editors hands and
then I will talk business. This goes also
for any other local team which means
business and thinks 1t can draw more
then a "corporars guard Yours truly,

SCHOLASTIC Series
To START TOMORROW
Manual Trainers and Stenographer.
Clash in Opening Game at
Vigilant Park.
TECH LOOMS UP STRONG

The first scholastic game of the season
will be staged tomorrow afternoon at
Vigilant Park, Fifteenth and H Streets
Northeast, when Tech and Business clash.
The strongest teams in the series meet
in the opening game. Tech has been
picked by the majority to win the title
this year. with the Stenographers as the
second choice. A win for the Business
eleven will give them a good start. while
the same thing holds good for the Man
ual Trainers.
There is little chance for any of the
other teams to defeat the Tech outfit, un-
less something unforeseen happens. The
Blacksmiths have the heaviest team in
the league: it has plenty of veteran ma
terial, and, better than even this. II has
had good coaching. Business will have
a fairly heavy team, but will depend
upon speed. The game will start at 3
O'Clock, with Paul MacGoffin as the ref
cree and E. S. Land as the umpire.

DINNER PLANNED FOR
YGLE's GREATEST TEAM

New HaveA Conn, Oct. 10
PA" Corbin, the captain of the
famous eleven that twenty-five
years ago rolled up SOS points
and blanked its opponents. has
arranged a dinner here this week
for all the members of the team
still living. 1t is expected that
most of the famous lineup will
be reassembled.
The team then lined up as fol-
lows: Left end, Alonzo StaRg;
left tackle, W. C. Rhodes; left
guard, George Woodruff; center.
PA" Corbin; right guard;
"Pudge" Heffelhnger: right
tackle, Charley Gill: right end,
kid" Wallace; quarter back, w.
C. wurtemburg; half backs, Lee

LAUREL
PADDOCK
GOSSIP

Laurel, Nd, Oct Ie.-Tomorrow will be
good day for the mudlarks. Today's
heavy rain has left the track soft, and
the nags who like the heavy going will
be in their element tomorrow.
The horses of L. Most have been turned
over to T. ]. Shannon, who will train
them in the future.
James Butler was visitor at the track
yesterday. Mr.. Butler, who has Just re-
turned from Kentucky, spoke in glow
ing terms OF the promises Of a number
of his yearling colts. which are being
trained by r. c. Benson. The wealthy
New York turfman seems TO think
the bunch he bought from nthe es-
tate of the late James r. Keene will
more than fulfill his fondest expecta-
tions. Mr.. Butler says so far they are
up and above the general average of
yearlings, and that Trainer Benson is
very much pleased with the entire lot.
and several colts particularly.
Old Fred Mulholland will more than
likely start tomorrow in the third race,
a selling event at a mile. In the heavy
going. old Fred is sure to be well played,
as the old fellow is partial to a soft
track.
sandbar is slated to face the barrier
again tomorrow. He may do better than
on his previous effort, on which occasion
good bit OF coin was lost on him.
Superintendent, entered in the second
race, a handicap for two-year-olds. on
his past work should figure well. Fit
tergold will be dangerous one, while
Carl alsoIm may show well.

LATE RALLY WINS GAME

Chicago, Oct 1s.-The Giants and White

the New Workers, like yesterday, were
again the winners. The score today was
to /. Al Demaree. a Chicago boy, went

three times and Doolan three times.
In the ninth Lobert led or with a single

GaIIaudet's football team surely ran
away from the Baltimore City College
team Saturday. Just why the Buff and
Blue should roll up l0S points is hard to
see. Maybe the Maryland Aggies have
discovered the reason.
Jack Hegarty will either make good his
boast this week or forever hold his peace.
Thursday the n. c. & A. NJ. outfit
will tackle Georgetown IN Raleigh, n. C.,
and from all reports Hegarty's team will
win by a million points. Harry Costello
is. still booting the pigskin for the Hill
toppers, and is also fairly good broken
field runner. So, beware, Tar-heels!
John Henry. of the Nationals, has just
been elected one of the vice presidents
of the Baseball Players Fraternity John
is about the most popular ball player in
the American League.
The fact that Walker. of the Virginia
Medicos, stated North Carolina A. and NJ.
would beat Georgetown has had about
the same effect upon the Hilltoppers as
waving a red flag in the face of bull.
That game will be well worth the price
of admission.
