Traditions were upset at the Polo
Grounds on MILLER Day" Usually
the recipient of present on such all
occasion proceeds to make a boob out
of himself by playing about the worst
game of mis- career Not SO with the
Kearny boy though. He was very
much in the game, and very much at
his best. After receiving the token,
Miller made three hits in the second
game, two of them doubles. He was
in great form and seemed to be de-
lighted at what the folks in his home
town had done for him. He was all
smiles and on his toes, and his friends,
to the number of about 125, had good
reason to be proud of their towns
man, and they showed plainly
throughout the contest that they were
having an enjoyable afternoon.
@
The Miller celebration was in the
hands of a committee of the Kearny
Lodge of Elks, at the head OF
which was Frederick A. Hartley, the
exalted ruler. Others on the COM
nittee were Samuel w. Smith, Will
liam B. Ross, and Hugh WillSie, all
good Elks and true. Taking part IN
! the celebration also was Robert Il.
| Torrance, of the town of kearny,
| home of the famous Dots. But the
big time at the Polo Grounds was
not all. Miller and other members or
the st. Louis team were the guests
| of Kearny Lodge at little recep-
ton in the evening. Nice things
were said about Dots and Dots
made dandy little speech himself.
jaw Eaton is taking himself serious,
and is making boastful claims about
having driven John M. Chapman out
of the bike game. He Is also going to
"get" others, he says. Not long ago
he made an effort to have Joe Kopsky
barred at the Velodrome, but in this
he failed. Eaton has been getting
away with a lot Of bluff stuff, and he
has been able to make some of the
riders believe he amounts to some
thing. In this they will soon find out
1,AG IT,,
turbance and his record in the bike
game has one large blotch. At the
present time he is on the suspended
list and he is going to remain there
for some time to come. AS a sus-
pended rider he has no business al
the Velodrome, and Manager Mac
Farland will do well to see that he
is not tolerated at the track. His
boast that he drove Chapman out OF
the game isn't so at all, and Mac
Farland has no cause to worry. Eator
sets himself up as a leader, and al
every little argument he declares that
he will cause trouble AS it is
rather quiet around here just now the
Eaton brand of trouble would make
things interesting. Eaton, of course
couldn't make much trouble alone, Sc
I am going to help him. He may moi
like my assistance, but I am going t.
give it to him anyway. In the mean
time / am looking up jays record a
the racetracks, for I understand HI
caused trouble during his opera
lions there. AS crap shooter
Eaton Is also very much in evidence
and Mr.. Chapman. when manager o
) the Velodrome, had occasion to driv'
Eaton away from the track more thar
once.

AS manager of Jackie Clark, Eatoi
expects to keep himself in the blk
game, but if Manager MacFarland ii
to be boss this will never be. Eatoi
, feels as if he is being abused AM
last night he asked me to let up OIL
him. He declared himself as a grea
battler, said he was more popula
than Frank Kramer, took credit 70
