Cured last night on the sycamore
road just above the Chicago Mill.
Three white men held up and shot
a negro. The victim was JEFF Tay-
lor who resides in the Drainage Dis
trict, He was removed to st. Mary's
]nfirmary for treatment.
Taylor was on his way home
about 1880 o'clock when he was
aecosted by three white men just
north Of the Chicago Mil. They
called to him to come to them as
they wanted to see What he had on
his person. He said he had nothing g
and asked them to leave him alone.
They kept moving toward him and
when they came closer Taylor
knocked one of the men down. One
Of the other in the party told the
third man to shoot him and Taylor
was shot in the left leg. Taylor fell
and laid in the road until assist
ance came. The three men ran
across the corn field toward the l..
C. tracks and disappeared. They got
nothing from Taylor as lie had moth
ing.

whether he has gone to the Feds. or is

that he will never play with the Fed

us or not at all. His contract has no

turn, either. II he would take care

Chance is peeved at Caldwelrs deser-

Several of the Griffmen went over to

he was in Washington, while Paul

AS the Yankees have proven them
selves to be pretty formidable in the
series they have just closed with Bos-

Griffmen, but before the end of the
week il is expected that considerable
lost ground will be regained. The Ma
tonals have as their opponents on
Georgia avenue the fast-receding St
Louis club.

Browns would fail TO hold the burn

WASHINGTON LEADS
RICHMOND TO WIRE
Post-Season Games Here Like
Iy to Be Completed Before
Those Of Intercity Opponents
By KIRK c. MILLER.

While Washington is rushing on
through its long schedule of elimina-
ton games in hopes of singing out a
championship team to meet Richmond,
the Virginia capital sandlotters are In
similar conflict, their object being to
name a representative to stack up
against the, District of Columbia title
holders.
Washington may well be said to be
nearer Its finals than Is Richmond, for
IL fair weather prevails this week a
title holder for this city may possibly
be declared by Saturday. On the other
hand Richmond does not figure to COM
plete its post-season contests until some
time after next Saturday, as double
, headers have been scheduled there be-
tween the Alcos and Ashlands. One of
these bargain matinees was staged yes
terday, the teams dividing honors and
another one is on for next Saturday
Should an even break result next
Saturday. then the Richmonders will
have to infringe on the week Of grace
supposed to be allowed for rest and re-
lief from the nervous tension. In case
that either Ashland or Alec take both
games of next Saturdays schedule in
Richmond. of course the playing of the
fifth game will avail nothing.
One feature predominates the box
scores which enanate from Richmond,
II being the Tong hits contributed by
those Southern players. Two-base hits
and triples abounded in Saturdays
games, and in the first game there was
one home run. OF the pitchers. Pierce
lasted better than any of the Alec
string. Flanagan got away to a poor
start in the second contest. and was
relieved by Sanderson. Alcos victory
was by to 4. and Asnland's count over
Alcos was 5 to 3.
Unless the teams desire to establish
beyond doubt second and third honors
in the sectional games, there may be no
necessity of playing Tuesdays sched-
ules in Sections A and s. Should Ten
leytown defeat Eastern In Section A.
the former will have the flag well sewed
UP. while a victory tomorrow for Treas
ury from Ninth. in the c classification.
would give the Government employees a
pennant.
Buck Becker will likely be sent in
to work for Eastern against Tenley-
town. while Jones may be sent right
back by the Georgetown management.

McGraw Ordered to Quit
Criticising Tener's Jumps

NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-In resent
ment- Of criticisms Of the National
League umpire staff by John McGraw,
Gov. John X. Tener. president OF the
league, has ordered the manage Of the
Giants to LAY or the arbiters under
penalty Of a long suspension. a heavy
fine. or both. Before leaving for the
Western trip, which begins today in
Pittsburgh, II was learned that the
Giants leader had been censured by the
National League president following the
publication of an attack on the umpire
staff in which McGraw had specified the
alleged shortcomings of the officials, ex-
cusing only William Klein.
4 secret meeting of the National
League directors in this city last week
was called for the purpose of curbing
McGraw. In the article under Nc
Graw's name, which was not written by
the Giants manager, of course, KLEIN
was declared to be the best Of the
lot" and that frank declaration did not
add to the pleasure Of the National
League president, he having assigned
Klein to work in the important series at
the Polo Grounds while the Braves were
in this city.

Hackensack Youth Improves as Richmond Sier Goes Back

Old Fox Makes Sudden Decision in This Respect
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

NEW YORK, Aug. Hilary Harper
has supplanted Joe Boehling as first
s'ring left-hander on the Washington
itching corps.
This is the significance which is today
icing placed on the presence in New
York of Harper, while Boehling is in
Washington awaiting the return of the
team. Boehifng has been in poor shape
10 work since the club left home, three
weeks ago. While he occasionally ap-
reared, the showings he made were I'M
satisfactory to Griffith. and after Har-
per yanked up the Athletics on Satur-
cay, the manager told him he was to
come 10 New, York and Boehling was
ordered TO go TO Washington with the
reservists.
After the remarkable showing which
he made last season, it was upon Boeh-
ling that Griffith depended to be john

Boehling was nursed along as was

the mainstay of the wavering pitch

leVeland he was ordered 10 1ounSS-
own TO see DR.. Reese and since then

Grihith's decision to bring Harper

know, the opinion is that Griffith in

Larry ChappeI to the team brought

Mike Mitchell's flash is about done and
that he will now fall back among the
