 He is just back from long trip to Europe, and he also side-stepped into Africa and Asia.
 His health has enormously improv- ed by the trip, and in connection with the bodily benefits deprived. After getting home he found his wander lust not entirely abated So that he finished out his travels by a trip out West.
 Wherever he goes on the track his friends generally follow. and New London and Hartford will be nberaly represented in Norwich on the Fourth because Dick Blumenthal is going to be one of the judges. He said yes ed for the PopuOnnoc' races on that day He helped the POquonnnoc peo- pie for their Memorial day meet and they appreciated his assistance but on the Fourth he will be in Norwich. The enteries to the motorcycle and horse races are coming right in now, and the stables at the fair grounds are well filled. At least a score of horses were being exercised yesterday. but the water wagon was on the track and that blocked proceedings considerably. Last night the motor- cycle boys were on hand Wild- Bill BurdiclI gets in five miles every de- cent night and Latham of Lebanon has been down twice.

There Is reason to believe that the Fourth will see a much bigger crowd than Memorial day saw on the fairgrounds. The pro- motors expect to see at least 10000 tickets taken at the gate. They have hired the most expert ticket seller In Eastern Connecticut to pass out the cardboards and expect him to earn his money.

ED WALSH IS KING
 OF SPITBALL ARTISTS. First Absolutely to Perfect and Control
 the Moist Ball,

In the July American Magazine Ed die Collins of the Philadelphia Ath- letics, whom Johnny McGraw of the New York Giants calls the greatest baseball player in the world, writes a most Interesting article entitled Pitch CTS I Have Faced. Collins is one of the greatest batterS in the business, and his article is full of stories of per sona1 experiences with the best pitch CTS. Following is part of what he has to say about Eddie Walsh, whom he regards as the best spitball pitcher:
 Walsh is the only real master of the spitball I know of. He was the first absolutely to perfect and control it. Most spitball pitchers are wild; and they have trouble especially to make their splitter strike, and usually have to resort to the fast one, but not Walsh! Many times I have seen him give a batter three balls and no strikes and then three spitters would go swfshing across the plate, knee high, and the batter would sit down. Walsh invariably aims his splitter at one spot on a batter, namely, between the waist and the knees. I have never seen good splitter that broke above the waist.
 Walsh was not a pitcher I dreaded to hit against, because 1t was never a battle of wits. You always knew what to look for-the splitter. It was sure to be in the same place-waist to shoe tops. and it was not like the spitters of some pitchers. at your head one spite of this. it was mighty hard to hit safely. Although there was almost a foot break on Walsh's spitball, Sulli- van, who always caught, him, said he could do 1t sitting in rocking chair his control was so perfect"

HERzOC ALMOST MADE A RIOT
Opening Game Between Cincinnati and Chicago Was a Scrappy One-Dispute Started Over Foul Ball Called by Umpire Eason-Moran Spiked Sweeney-Score 10 to7.

Chicago, June 29-A near riot mark ed the first game of the Cincinnati Chicago series here today which Chi cago won, 10 to '. In the visitors sixth inning Moran fouled down third base line. Hoblitzel protested to Um- pire Eason that the hit was fair and was ordered to the clubhouse. Man ager Herzog ran into the argument and was ordered to joint Hoblitzel. In a few moments, one of the players took Moran's bat and threw it toward the players bench The aim was wide and the bat landed in the field boxes- Immediately spectators charged up- on the field but they were calmed by attendants and players. The arguing continued and before it ceased Null laney, Miller and Douglas had joined Herzog and Hoblitzel.
 A few moments later Moran slid in to second base and spiked Sweeney's thumb. Sweeney became angered at Moran and 1t was necessary for play CTS and Umpire Quigley to step be- tween the pair. Quigley escorted Sweeney to the bench, but did not order him out. Good was sent to the club house early in the game by Um- pire Eason. Each team made it's runs by punching hits with misplays. Score.

 Some standard shares remained un- quoted for long intervals. In the spe- eial group, late spurt in Continental Can common and preferred, which rose four or more points, and a decline of two points in General Motors, were almost the only features of the day.

WILL STICK BY COBB.
President Frank Navin Says He Was Loyal to Tigers When Feds Were After Him.

'"Ty Cobb has stood by me. and I am going to stand by him. declared President Frank Navin of the Detroit baseball club. q know Ty perhaps better than anyone in Detroit, and I know his faults and I know his vir- tues. I realize fully that he has a hot temper. Nobody knows that better than Ty himself. and for one know how hard he has tried to keep control of it. That temper Is the cause of all his trouble. and yet if he did not have that fighting spirit which explodes when he loses his temper, perhaps he would not be what he is-the greatest ball player of all time.
 Cobb showed me another side of himself when the Federal league back CTS were after him. They offered him
 every inducement under the sun, and he turned his back on them. He stood by me and said he wanted to show the people of Detroit that he was loyal to the Tigers and eager to help win a pennant. To prove his personal loyalty
 to me he signed & two-year contract
 this year when he could have merely signed for one year and watched de- velopments in the Federal league sit uation.
 All this junk about the Federal l league grabbing him is piffle. Cobb will not desert the Tigers, and when he | gets back into the game you'll find | that he'll do everything he can to 1 make up for lost ground. He'll show where his heart is''

out of baseball, does he. Well, Connie Mack is a cheap skate. Connie is the cheapest man in the game. His father was a mourner in Ireland. That was his profession, and Comics like him. He's always a mourner.
 This was the reply of Manager Clark Griffith of the Senators to a statement by Connie Mack, leader of the world champion Athletics, in which Mack was quoted as saying that Griffith 8 action in fOrfeiting the recent game to the Athletics was disgrace to base ball and that Griffith should be elim- mated from the game.
 Griffith was seen at his hotel. He was indignant at Chill, the umpire, for declaring the game forfeited. Con nie Mack is sore" continued Griffith, because we always fight his team as we fight every other team. I suppose he thinks we should lie down and let him walk all over us and win a pen nant without any trouble.
 "A fair sample of how cheap Con nie Mack is was shown when he wait ed for three men to get on base before he had Ira Thomas call Chi1Ps atten- tion to Engle's alleged foot faults. Then Chill lost his head and showed his incompetency in about ten ways. I will admit I thought Chill was bluff fing or I would not have delayed the game and allow 1t to be forfeited"
