CROWD JEERS JUDGES
 AS KRAMER WINS OUT

Frank L. Kramer, the American champion. won his match race against Jackie Clarke, the Australian star, yesterday afternoon at the Newark Velodrome, but the spectators raised an awful kick over the judges decis- ion in the second heat.
 There was no doubt about the first heat, for Kramer won by nearly a length. In the second heat, however, Clarke made a great fight and led through the home stretch to within a few feet of the tape. Kramer fin ished very strong and was clearly ahead a yard over the line, but prac- tically all the spectators thought a dead heat was the very worst Clarke was entitled to. When the announcer began telling that Kramer had won the crowd missed and jeered, refusing to let him continue.

BIG CROWD SEES
 RAY HEATING AND
 YANKEES WIN OUT
(By Wagn@.)


 Although Peerless Leader Frank 1 Chance stayed in New York to count his money, the New York Americans were represented by pretty strong team at Newf1eld yesterday. There was Birdie Cree, the celebrated fence buster, Roger Peckinpaugh, a former New Haven star, Long Jack Knight and Slim Caldwell, who is being groomed for an outfield berth by Boss Chance. With this array of cele- braties it was no wonder Bridgeport lost to the big leaguers by to in ten innings.
 Ray Heating was the magnet that attracted most of the $500 people on hand. The local boy looked pretty fine out there and he twir1ed the first six innings to give the home folks a chance to enthuse. Heating didn't att tempt to put anything on the ball un- til he got men on bases. He generally used a high ball but served a, few benders when the locals began to touch him up. He gave seven hits, famed four and passed one.
 Jack Warhop, whose real name is said to be Flynn, succeeded Heating in the seventh. He was tapped for a triple by Ire Hallnan and single by Promo Si1zer but beyond that yield ing nothing. Warhop, who is a veteran of the Yankees staff, has been troubled with a sore arm all season and has worked but little His underhand delivery was seen to good advantage. This is hard ball to hit right. It is a raise delivery and gen orally results in a fly.
 Another youngster carefully in spected by the crowd was Alias John Smith, the stocky catcher His right name is Peo1 and he comes from Tenth avenue, New York. About a month ago when the Yankees regd- lar backstops were injured, Smith was hastily secured from the New York New Jersey league. He caught most of the games on the last Western trip and did well. The scorers didn't care for his Italian name so they gave him a regular one.
 Out1elder Cook and First Base man Williams, recent recruits from the Texas league were given careful consideration Cook is a 1anky boy something after the type of Outf1eIder Holden of New London. He got one hit and uncorked a fine throw fr the fourth that nailed McGamwe11 at the plate. Williams didn't hit safely but walloped several hard ones.
 Dick Tuckey did the heaving for The Watson's Corner blond pitched steadily and although scattered. He did not fan anybody and issued no free tickets. Slim CaId- we'll rapped him for four singles and for three
 Heine Batch and Ira Ha11man did the best batting for the hou:.. talent The former got a double and. single while Ira came through with a three bagger and one timer.
 New York scored in the first but Bridgeport evened things in the fourth on Batch's double and Pecqzin- paugh's wild throw in trying for 8 double play. Singles by Heating, Caldwell and Cree produced run for the visitors in the filth. The Cross men drew up on even terms in the seventh on Hallman's three bagger and Silzers rap to center. They fought it out until the tenth when Ca1dwe1PS crack and McKechnie's 1 triple broke up the pasttme. The score:

M'CRAW ANXIOUS TO SECURE
 BIG KONETCHY FROM ST. LOUIS
Repon That He Offered MerkIe And WiItse
 For First Basernan

Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug 11.-Local baseball men gave credence yesteroay to a tip that Manager McGraw of the Giants, is dealing with St Louis for First Baseman Konetchy and has of- fered First Baseman Merkle and Pitcher Wiltse in exchange Since the golf squabble in which Merkle was involved along with Mathewson, Mo Graw and Merkle have not been the best of friends.

 Miller Huggins, according to his own statement is ready and willing to trade his whole team to get together a willing combination for next year and it is said that he would make a1- most any sacrifice to strengthen his pitching staff.

Manager Monte Cross of the | Bridgeport club has signed a young ster named Brady, who is recom- mended as a good catcher The boy reported today. He is built some thing on the style of Brad Kocher, the former Bridgeport star. Brady has been playing with New Rochelle and other semi-pro clubs around New York.
 Hartford holds first place for the present at least. The Senators have been playing fine ball lately while New Haven dropped eight out of the As soon as the pitching staff caved in Councils men were helpless.
 Constant ReaderBoston plays the New York Giants in New York morn ing and afternoon on Labor. Day.
 Monte Cross was warmly greeted when he came to bat for the first time at Newtfeld yesterday. The veteran played shortstop in stellar style and showed his arm is still there by catch ing McKechnie at the plate in the tenth. The Yankees third baseman tried to make homer on his clout to left.
 Alias John Smith, the New York catcher, is wise to all the tricks of the trade. When a runner is trying to score he has to trim John to get by. The youngster neatly blocked McGam- well trying to score on Hauman's rap in the fourth and even though he dropped the ball he picked it up be- fore Eddie could touch the platter. In the fifth when Sflzer tried to tally from third on a rap to Heating, Smith grabbed SiIzer's leg as he came sliding in and twisted that member away from the pan.

Wedding Anniversary.

Last Sunday morning the friends Of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Silvey surprised
them by gathering at their home near
Antioch to spend pleasant day in
honor of the old couples 54th ami
versary of their married life. Mr..
and Mrs. Silvey met their friends and
neighbors with warm welcome and
the morning was spent in pleasant
conversation, and when the noon
hour arrived the feast was spread,
the table literally groaning under its
weight Of good things, of which the
good people, about one hundred,
did not fail to partake of freely.
But after every one had eaten till they
could eat no more there was a boun-
tiiul supply left, enough to have fed
fifty more people with good appetites.
Ice cream was served at three o'clock
and pleasant afternoon passed, al
ter which the people went home
wishing the dear old couple many re-
turns OF the happy oc ;asion. MIR.
and Mrs. Silvey are we'll known TO
every one. To know them is to love
them, as was proven by the large
gathering of friends and relations.
A number OF their children and grand
children were present. The sincere
wish of the writer is that they may
live TO enjoy many such happy days
and that when the number OF days
for them are fulfilled may they hear
with JOY the gentle call, "Well done,
thou good and faithful servants, enter
ye into the joys of you! Lord" and
may their children follow in the loot
steps Of their parents till all are gath
cred on the shining shore withou,
the loss OF one OF their loved ones.

Are You Coins 10 SCHOOL,

The fall term at the Warrensburg
State Normal School will begin Tues
day, September 9th. The catalogue
will be sent on request.
The state has invested S47s, 900
in this Normal School Plant. The
School prepares teachers for all the
needs OF all the schools.
The standards of work in this
school are high, and the cost to stu
dents less than in any other school
of same rank. Last year was the
best in the existence of the school,
but not as good as the next will be.
Laws enacted by the last Legislature
give the people of Missouri new OPP
portunities in education. Schools
will mean more. Teaching as 4 pro-
fession will mean more to Missouri's s
young men and young women.
Crops may fail, and business may
fail, but the demand for we'll pre-
pared school teachers will never fail.
Thorough scholarship and prepar-
alton to do some one thing well is
always a sound proposition. rha,
is our proposition.
Every department is W II organized
and well equipped. OF the Library
