Reckless and ordinance breaking au-

the court and their licenses taken from
them as well as fines imposed for
breaking the laws and endangering
the lives of those on foot, says the
Bath Times of June &c. Last evening
there was much Joy riding, one or
two cars, runabouts in the hands of
young men, rushing through city
streets. One of the runabouts, citl-
zen informs the Times, from Union

two or three youths on board, was 60
ing at a 50-mile an hour clip and the
citizen said that they would have
been lynched by Middle Streeters had
the residents caught them. 1t is but
a matter OF few days before a car
thus driven will kill some child and
thea there will be regret that the au
tomobile ordinance was not enforced.

CUB SCOUT IS
IN SUPERIOR
Jack Nice arthy, Former Big
Lacquer, Looking Over
Outf1elder Glass

Superior, Wis. July SACK Nc
carthy, a scout for the Chicago Cubs,
is in town to give Freddie Glass and a
couple of more Of u ball players the
once over Mccarthy attendent yes
terday's game Is Hislop park.
Mccarthy is a former big league
catcher and played with the Cleveland
and the Chicago Cubs for Is years.
Later he became manager at Spring
field, Ill, in the Three-Ey eleague and
at Wausau, the first season of the Min
ny league. From Wausau he went to
Danville and the next year became a
Cub scout.
Glass has attracted considerable in
terest among the scouts and managers
in the big leagues and there is a prob
ability that he will be sold before the
season is over. Mike Cantillon offered
$1,000 for the Superior outfelder, but
Schroeder wouldn't consider the offer.
Glass recently suffered a temporary
slump in hit batting, but has picked
up again and is looking considerably
better at the plate. He is still up neal
the top, hitting 1851.
The scouts from the big leagues are
beginning their annual pilgrimages to
the bushes and several of them will be
in Superior during the next month.
Meyers, a scout for the Cleveland
Americans, saw Cunningham pitch a
no-hit no-run game in Duluth Mon
day. Eddie Herr, Ted Sullivan and
several well-known scouts will be
along pretty soon to see what Superior
has to offer.

CUE CATCHERS ARE
CHAMPS

Chicago, July S.-Catchers Of the
Chicago Cube receive more injuries in
the season than the receiving staff of
any other club in the National league.
This is not because of the inability of
the West side backstops, for there are
none better in the game today than
Jimmy Archer and Roger Bresnahan.
They r almost in a class by them
selves when experience, throwing,
s~teadiness, cleverness and ability to
steady a pitcher are considered. They
are versatile in every respect, and yet
they get more dislocated fingers and
knocks than any other catcher's in
the league.
The injuries are owing to wildness
of the Cub pitchers, and for no other
reason. Manager O'Day has the hard
EST bunch of twirlers in the organiza-
ion to catch.
1t must be remembered that there
Ire three spitball pitchers on the
Vest Side club and OF all slabmen
hey. are the hardest to catch. For

petent to catch the wonderful splitter

his best. Having three Of them on
n team certainly does not make the
work Easy for the men who wear the

Larry Cheney, Jimmy Lavender and
George Pierce are the ~spitballists on
the Cub machine. Jimmy Archer has
developed into a jumping jack since
he has been catching these three men
and has had many injuries. Each of
them has an uncommonly fast ball

Mr.. Conrad then wired the Virginia
club that Lizzette's contract specifical-

OPE FOR
THREE CHAMPIONS

Chicago, July s.-Chicago's base
ball fans are reveling in the delights
of the national game to such extent
that much pennant talk has been
heard in the last few days. The en-
thusiasm wen was so great that many
saw the possibility Of three pennants
for this city this year. The reason
for such expansive ideas was the fact
the White Sox had won fourteen out
Of their last sixteen games, the Cubs
had won fourteen out Of seventeen,
and the Chicago Federals had won
eight Of their last ten.
Should all the major league teams
continue at the same relative pace of
the last three weeks from now until
the close of the season, Chicago would
have the distinctive honor of taking
three pennants and the SoX and Cubs
would battle right here for the cham
pionship of the world, and the Fed
erals could challenge the winner, with
the hope of being recognized.
