still a little soreness in the wound
1t is said that McCaffery's principal
reason for being in New York was to
sell Pick, his clever third baseman, to
the Chicago Cubs. The deal didn't go
though, MeCaffery returned to To-
ronto and out comes the early-closing
story.

To close the league before the regu-
lar time would be suicide entirely
There is possible chance that some-

months that will put the league on its
feet. How the story originated no.
body seems to know, but it is believed
that the thought emanated from the
| ivory dome of one of the players. In
fact, 1t is said that the players have
| been discussing such plan for weeks
They say it would be a good thing.
The clubs could close a few weeks
ahead of time and save money, but it
was also agreed that the players
would have to be paid in full to the

players to figure out way to make

The National League clubs didn't
play yesterday, and the race is still
as hot as ever. The Giants are at the
top, and it is doubtful of they will be
headed. ST. Louis is in second place,
and not few believe she belongs
there. The Boston Braves. the popu-

behind the Cardinals. The fighting
Cubs, including Heine Zimmerman,
are fourth If the Cubs could only lose
Zim in one of his numerous battles
they would probably finish second in
the race. In fact, the Cubs are con-

The Elks will play baseball tomor-
row afternoon at Wiedenmayer's Park
and a great game it is sure to be.
Newark Lodge will be on the one side
and Kearny Lodge will be on the
other side, and the winner will have
something to crow over. Each team
has won a game. and there is bound
to be a strenuous battle for the odd
game Newark feels that she can't
afford to lose for the local lodge
nine has been selected to play the
Paterson Lodge at the Long Branch
carnival for the State championship.
With such an important contest at
stake, Newark says that she must
win, but she won't use any ringers"
| Kearny, too, is very confident and
can't see Newark at all, so only the
| contest on the diamond will tell who
| is who. The game should be well at
tended and the Elks should turn out
in droves and bring their friends
along, for the entire proceeds will go
to charity. Dan Gaven, exalted ruler
of Newark Lodge, will pitch the first
ball, and Frederick A. Hartley, ex-
allied ruler of Kearny Lodge. will be
on hand to root and pull for his team.

Though the famous Futurity is to
be run today at Saratoga, the out

the boys in the manner ii did in the
old days. The. fact is, racing isn't as
popular as it used to be, and only
those who follow the sport closely are
