Sporting Views
By the Editor

The death OF RUDE Waddell, whose
eccentricities made him as famous as
his wonderful pitching ability, recalls
the time when he played here several
years ago with the ST. Louis Browns
in an exhibition game against the To-
cal club, and pulled one of the stunts
that made him so well liked by the
fans.
Waddell was on the mound for the
Browns who were leading the Indians
by small score. In the latter part
of the game the Indians went to bat,
needing only a run or two to win the
game. The first man up poled out to
center The next batter stepped up
to the plate. Waddell stood with the
ball in his hand, ready to put one
over when suddenly he turned around
and waved to the fielders to come in.
When they had all reached the bench
Rube turned around and struck out
the next two batters, retiring the side.
This was but one of the many hun
dred unusual Incidents that made up
the baseball career Of this femous
player.

Disruption in Yacht Club.

committee in charge sticks to its
present intention to sail the races to
choose a defender to meet Sir Thorn
as Lipton's Shamrock ~ for the
Americas cup off Newport, instead or
off Sandy Hook. Those favoring
Sandy Hook say the trials should be
conducted out in the open water on
the cup course. The committees an
nounced reason for selecting Newport
is that at the further end of Long Is
land sound the three defenders VIII
be safe from prying eyes OF Sir

with very little additional expense the
Englishman could send his spies to

defenders will be raced in August ane
it is expected that the question as to
what course shall be utilized will be
threshed out shortly.
