CALDWELL READY TO

Fine, Which Latter Insists

NEW YORK, August 20.-Ray Cald-

York, but not to the fold Of the New
York Americans. To friends he inti-
mated that he would be pleased to
make his peace with Manager Frank
Chance, Up to a late hour last night,
however, the erring twirler had made
no advances to the Peerless Leader.
III Chance will. let bygones be by
cones and remit the fine of $500 will
ble," Caldwell told a friend yesterday.
The lanky pitcher refused to say
whether he has signed to play with
1915.
Caldwell was in New York and willing
to sue for pardon the New York man.
ager expressed himself very forcibly
on the subject.
Through With Ray.
"I am through with Caldwell" said
he. II am not going to waste any more
time nor worry any more about him.
He Is a great pitcher, I know. but a
bad influence to q club. If he comes
back to New York he will have to
guarantee good behavior. And that
| $500 fine will go. too.
I IF Caldwell had a grain of business
sense he would take care of himself.
By pitching his best he soon would
| rank among the really great pitchers
| of all time and would command a salary
| in accordance with his merit. But an
unreliable star is worth less than any
ordinary player who does his best.
Caldwell always was treated fairly

down not once. but many times. l do

signed a Federal League contract He
| will find that he cannot play in the
Federal League. He will not play any
where except in New York and he
never will play again with my club
until he convinces me that his reform

Feds Can't Get Him.
"If Caldwell has signed a Federal
League contract he must have misrep-
resented matters. He is bound to my
club until the end of 1915. If the Fed
eral League advanced him any money
it couldn't have been much, or he
wouldn't be around so soon. He told
some of my players that he had a
$4,000 check. He was flashing the al
legged check. but took good care not
to let any Of the boys see it at close

But he will have a long time to re-
cent Of his shortcomings unless he con-
vinces me that he is far more serious
than he ever has been before in his
life," concluded the Peerless Leader.

was obtained by Washington in the same

Pitcher weilman seemed peeved when
Manager Hickey took him out OF the
game and substituted Mitchell. Weilman
threw his glove into the bench and acted
very much like a spoiled child. Just why
a pitcher who is taken out, regardless OF
what the conditions may be, should feel
offended is not plain the manager OF q
team assumes that responsibility. 1t Is
true that weilman had a seven-run lead

BIG GOLF TOURNEY
Tom Mcnamara of Boston
Plays Best in National Event.
EVANS IN POOR CONDITION
George Sargent and Fred Mcleod
Easily Qualify in First

CHICAGO. August 20.-Tom Mcnamara
Of Boston. native Of America, yesterday
played the best golf exhibited in the elm
| ination rounds for the national open golf
championship at Midlothian, making an
evenly balanced score Of 145, as against
146 made by James Barnes Of Philadel-
phia Tuesday.
The surprise was the poor playing OF
Charles Evans, jr., western amateur
champion, who took 70 for each round,
barely qualifying. with 1853. Evans this
season has been playing exceptionally
good golf, winning the western title at
Grand Rapids recently, with an average
Of II. In recent practice he had been
playing "a and over a course several
strokes harder than Midlothian. But a
wrenched ankle and the fact that he had
not practiced over the nghtning-fast links
reduced his usually brilliant game to me-
diocrity.
Gallery Follows Evans.
The gallery followed Evans, as 1t fol-
lowed Ouimet when he tied with Mac
Donald Smith Of Oakmont- at 14S for Sec
ond best score Of the day and conse-
quently only a few golfers watched Tom
McNamara top the field at 145.'
Barring a missed putt in the last nine,
the Boston professional would have had
four thirty-sixes. His putting was only
fair, but hole after hole he got what the
professionals call "a birdie,'' so that ex-
traordinary work on the green's was not
required to better par figures, which are
146 for double round.
Since he became prominent at Engle-
wood as runner-up to George Sargent, Nc
Namara has been playing good golf. and
many Of the professionals in the present
tournament favor him to win the event
this year. Yesterday he made 10 holes
in 4. 8 in and in 3, while many a pro-
fessional had to take skies and sevens on
holes that should be made in four by ex-
perts. J. ]. McDermott, champion in 1911
and 1912. was not playing as well as
usual. taking 155. George Sargent. Chevy
Chase, did a nice 161. while Fred Mcleod,
Columbia, was only one stroke behind
him with 152. r. M. Thompson Of Glen
Ridge, N. J., was second best yesterday,
with 149. Six men made 161. four took
152, while half Of those who qualified took
155 or more.

STEEL BRIDGE UNSAFE
WILLAMETTE RIVER STRUC-
TURE MAY BE REBUILT.
County Courts of Polk and Marion
Make An Investigation With
State Engineer.

The steel wagon bridge over the
Willamette river, connecting Polk and
Marion counties at Salem, was visited
by Judge Teal, Commissioners Petre
and Wells on Wednesday in company
with Judge Bushey of Marion, State
Engineer Bowlby, and several Salem
councilmen, and was pronounced un-
safe for heavy traffic. A section of the
planking was pried up and an exami-
nation of the bearings underneath
showed that the steel had crystalized
and that a crowbar might be pushed
through the structural steel work in
several places. One of the brace rods
was found to be rusted in two and
the examination of a single bearing
was enough to convince the investigat-
ors that the structure was decidedly
unsafe and the city and county were
open to the danger of damage suits
at any time.
The planking is worn out and the
bridge will have to be redecked soon.
This will cost about $2500. The com
missioners are anxious to receive the
report of the highway engineers be-
fore making any repairs on the
bridge. The bridge engineers say that
to repair the old bridge which stands
20 feet above low water it would be
necessary to erect an expensive false
work as it would be impossible to
drive piles. The piles would have to
be driven into the river bed Is feet
and an 85 foot pile would be out of
the question and some sort of false
structure would be necessary to take
the pressure off of the old bridge while
the repair work was being done.
The bridge engineers of the state
highway commission will make de-
tailed report of the old bridge and
will examine each piece of steel. They
express the opinion that they will find
the bridge to be in even worse condi-
ton than it is thought at present.
However, the matter will rest until the
report is submitted though there is lit
tie doubt but that a new bridge will
result as being more economical and
permanent than even extensive re-
pairs on the old one. 1t is possible
that traffic officer will be placed on
the bridge and that the speed of heav-
lily loaded vehicles will be regulated.
The old bridge which was erected in
1892 was built before the days of
auto trucks and other motor vehicles
and the light steel structure will not
stand the added strain for any length
of time.

DIGGER BESTS BOY sPRINTER.
Court Street Business People Are
Aroused From Lethargy.

An exciting race was pulled off on
Wednesday afternoon in front of The
Observer office, between Claire Sny-
der and digger squirrel, attracting
a small crowd of onlookers. Mr..
Squirrel was strolling about the court
house yard inhaling the fragrance
of the roses blooming there and max
ing himself at home generally, when
he was espied by the young man, who
abandoned his bicycle and took up
the chase. Although he prides him
self on his feetness of foot. he was
bested by the destroyer of lawns, and
punveyor of grains and other produce,
who made the home run to his hole
near the Jail in double quick time.
Mr.. Claire has gone into training, and
is laying for that squirrel.
