Criticism of Porte Unfair.

New York, July 3l.-On his recent
visit to New York, Capt. f. Creagh Os-
borne, compass expert of the British
Admiralty, said, 81 hope and pray that
your newspapers will not drive the
Porte into making a start across the
Atlantic before his ship is right, or
when the weather will be against him."
Capt. Osborne spoke of the haste that
is now being made on the flier, saying
it were better to have put the haste
into the beginning Of the project, not
the end: and commented on the fact
that August is not nearly so advantage
GUS for the attempt Aug. 18th is the
very latest he should attempt to make
the fight, and then only provided the
weather conditions are good for that
season." he continued. ''If Porte gets
away by August Is, believe he will
have a very good chance of making
the crossing" Lieut. Porte insists up
on working, though his friends have
tried to take him from the plane for
a while. The situation for him is re-
garded as doubly trying, because the
many delays, while in no way his
fault, have created the impression that
he is in some way responsible. Both
Lieut.. Porte and his assistant, Hal
lett are ready and waiting to take
the air the moment the builders OF
the America" announce she is ready
for her transatlantic trip.

NEGRO MAKES BOND.
Bond of $1,000 Was Made by White
Friends in a Few Moments.

"Uncle Philip, the aged negro
shoemaker, who cut and seriously in
jured York Turner. another negro who
attacked him in his shoe shop, made
bond yesterday afternoon, and was
released. The bond set by the county
attorney at $1,000. was quickly made
by the old man among his white
friends.
Turner, in a statement to the county
attorney, after the cutting, said that
he was alone to blame for the whole
affair and if he died. did not want
the old man molested as he cut him
in self defense and was in no wise
to blame for the affair. Turner sta
ted that he had been drinking and
entered the shop and abused the old
man, after the latter had requested
him TO stay away, and that he got
no more than was coming to him.
Turner is getting along as well as
could be expected, and has about an
even break for his life.

BILL HINCHMAN SATISFIED.
Would Rather Stay in Columbus
 Than Go to Big Leagues.


 Columbus, O., Aug. 29.-There are few men in the American association who wouldn't welcome promotion to one of the major leagues. Bill Hinch- man is one of the few who is satisfied with his lot. Bill would not welcome a promotion. In fact it would be distasteful to him. He expressed him. self forcibly on this matter when the club returned from the last west ern trip.
 1T want to stay just where I am,' '' he said. 'I am satisfied, and if the people I am working for are satisfied I want to stay right here in Colum- bus" The remark from Bill was prompted when he learned that Scout Chick Fraser of the Pirates and Manager Jimmy Callahan of the White Sox had been making inquiries regarding his age.
 Columbus fans are with Bill. They want him to remain here. Not even excepting Derby Day Clymer, he is probably the most popular manager Columbus ever has had. If he has an enemy in Columbus no one knows it.

WISE ATHLETICS DON'T KNOW
Thomas and Davis Forget Rule or
 Ball Hitting Umpire.

Detroit, Aug. 29.-Even such mas ter minds as are assembled on the Athletics are a bit rusty concerning the rules occasionally. Under ordi- nary circumstances Ira Thomas and Harry Davis, advisers to Connie Mack, are wise in the ways of baseball. But occasionally even Thomas and Davis slip, and when slipping make them selves appear somewhat ridiculous before umpires. One of these in- stances was noted in a game here.
 Bush was on second base and High was on first when Crawford smashed 8 hard grounder toward second. Um- pire Sheridan tried to dodge the ny- ing missile, failed and was hit in the chest. Bush, away with the pitch. crossed the plate. Donie started to re- turn to third when he saw Umpire O'Loughlin wave his hand indicat- ing that the ball had hit Sheridan. but High, losing himself in the mixup, dashed for third and was thrown out by Schang. O'Loughlin then stepped in. He sent High back to second and Bush to third.
 With the decision Thomas and Davis rushed from the Athletics bench and argued for five minutes, claiming that High was out. O'Loughlin listened to them patiently enough and then explained section of rule 54 to the brains of the worlds champions.

STARS ARE FEW IN
 THE EASTERN ASSN.
Big Lsagu's May Draft No Players
 frim 6'ROuTke Circuit.

Big league scouts report dearth of promising material in the minor leagues this season and present indi- cations are that fewer players will be drafted this year than at any time since the system was adopted. The drafting season is only a few days away and speculation is rife among Eastern association club owners and fans as to who will be the lucky ones to go higher.
 An Eastern association magnate in discussing the merits of the players a few days ago said that, in his opin- ion, there are fewer stars in this league at the present time, than in any other year during his connection with the game. "I can't understand it. said the club owner, but it is nevertheless true. l wouldn't be at all surprised if no players were , draf fled at all
 The Eastern association is not the only minor league circuit where a scarcity of big league timber exists. Scout Billy Murray of the Pittsburg Pirates, while in this city a few days
 
 is as scarce as hens teeth. Murray has secuted from one coast to the other in hopes of getting players to build up the dilapidated Pirates, but his efforts have been crowned with no success at all.
 Of the Eastern association players Joe Pope and Hyder Barr of New Haven, Pratt and Hammond ~of IA ~,-1 Becker, Quinn and Markefka of New London, Prysock and Troy of Pitts field, Shields of Waterbury and Stow of Bridgeport loom up as the best Smith of Waterbury, Jensen of New Haven and Martin of New London have already been sold. However, it is improbable that more than four or five will get a chance higher up.

FEARS FOR KOJI YAMADA.
Japanese Billiard Expert in Berlil
 When Last Heard From.

When Last Heard From.
 New York, Aug. 29.-Among those stranded in Germany on account of the European war is Koji Yamada, the champion Japanese billiard play CT, who was seen recently in a series of matches in New York. .-
 Yamada was in Berlin at the time hostilities began. engaged in an inter- national tournament The last word from him was received three weeks ago, when he wrote that he was lead ing in the tournament and expected to win, and would leave Berlin on Au- gust. 15 in ample time to arrive in New York to begin the contests of the Champion Billiard Players league, of which he is a member.
 His friends here are worried over his long silence, especially since Jap an has become entangled in the war. If Yamada was not able to es- cape from Germany before Japan's ultimatum was sent to the kaiser it will be most difficult for him to do so now. The fact, however, that he was educated in Berlin and was long a resident of that city may serve as ample protection for him until he is able to make his way to some other country.

New York, Aug. 28.-Jess Willard. one of the most promising of the various white hopes. has started out on the trail of Jack Johnson. Jack Curley is shis manager, and they claimed to have formed a syndicate which will deposit 10000 as guar antee to bind the match, the sum to go as side bet if Johnson or his packers agree. Furthermore the sym dicate will guarantee $30,0O0 to John- son, win draw or lose. Curley thinks that the fight can be held in Mexico if the war continues. Johnson does
New Britain herald., 1914-08-29

not dare to return to the United States and just now he is discredited in France and England, where it has been shown that he made crooked deal with Moran. Johnson is barred in so many countries that it is not likely he will ever figure in cham pionship fight again, so Willard had better pay his attention to Gunboat Smith, Carl Morris and other heavy heavyweights, and when one of them shows he is better than the others he will be the new champion, and John son and his unsavory record will be forgotten.

Clarkin declares Hartford Is one of the best baseball towns in class B company and with a first division team is sure to attract paying patron age. Clarkin's health has been poor and for that reason he could not take an active interest in baseball this year.
