REDS GET TWIRLER.
Pay $1,OOO to Try Out Hurler and Remainder If He Makes Good,

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 31.-Pitcher Steamer Cochran, the main stem of the Norfolk Tars pitching staff this year. has joined Cincinnati on approv- al, it was learned yesterday Cincin- nati is to- pay Norfolk $1,oo0= for the opportunitySo of looking Cochran over, with the understanding of an addi- tional $1,500 when the twirler makes good with the Reds.
 Comenting upon and explaining the sale cf this pitcher at this stage of the season, President Walker of the Nor folk association declared the packers of the team could not take the chance of having Cochran drafted when it had the opportunity of making such sale, even if it meant to slow up the chances of the Tars in their effort to land at the top of the race for the second half of the season.
 The Tar packers were burnt last season, when they refused an offer to dispose of Pitcher Markle by sale be fore the drafting season, and held on to him, to lose him by draft to one of tho teams in the Texas league. Mark1e was sold to the Yankees two weeks ago.

GOLFERS GET TROPHY.

The Hardware City league man. agers held the final meeting of the season last evening at the Y. M. c. A. and concluded the business of the sea- son. The reports showed the league to have been success in all respects. The trophy donated to the winning team was turned over to Manager Charles Burns of the Golfers, and the ''hoys"- were on hard to witness this part of the ceremony. The Golfers are elated over the capturing of the championship, and already are mak- ing plans for next season when they expect to go after the "big fellows The club has been fortunate in having a manager like Mr. Burns who has been untiring in his efforts to make the team a winning one. He accepted the position in the middle of the season when the prospects were not the brightest, but by the dint of hard work he succeeded in rounding the club into a winning one.

PLAYERS IN NEAR FIGHT.
Hartford and Broclxton Players Arguc
 Over POstponement.

Over Postponement.
 Brockton, Mass, Aug. 31.-Because Umpire Jack Finnell at Providence thought it was raining in Brockton, the Hartford-Brockton game here yesterday was postponed. Double- headers will be played Tuesday and Wednesday. Up to within an hour of the time for the game to start it rained hard. The sun broke through the clouds finally, however, and the Brockton management insisted on the game being played. The Hartford players did not reach Brockton until 3:15 and they were rushed to the grounds under protest.
 Both teams donned uniforms, but Hartford refused to take the field be- cause of it's muddy condition. At 4 o'clock one-half hour after the game was scheduled to start, it was decided to postpone the battle. Brockton wanted to play with two players act ing as umpires, but Manager Dele- hnty refused. The players got to- gether in the clubhouse and several wordy wars and near fights took place, the feeling between the two being bitter. Manager Delehanty ex. poets Catcher Simmons of the Brook Feds to join his team during the present series.

BAN AFTER GAMBLERS.
American League President ill Boston to Investigate Stories of Gambling.

Chicago. Aug. 30.-President B. B. Johnson of the American league is ex- ercised over the stories from Boston that gambling is flourishing unchecked in the ball parks there. He said yes- terday that he would not have paid any attention to the reports had not the American league park been men, toned, and now Ban is going after the bettors with renewed vigor. He went east today and may start some thing as soon as he gets to the Hub.
 "I think that the charge that there is rambling at the American league park in Boston is unjust,'' said Mr. Johnson. We stopped gambling there a few years ago, and we have done the same in every city in the circuit. We arrested forty-nine in the Philadel- phia grand stand at one time, which showed that we were in earnest about the crusade
 President Johnson will head for Philadelphia, and he will also make flying trips to New York and Wash tngton. While in the east he will look into the reported raids of the Federal league and see how they can be checked.

EBBETs BUYS CHENEY.
Brooklyn Magnate Purchases Cub
 TwirIer to Bolster Staff.

Brooklyn, Aug. 31.-Adopting the tactics that Lannin, Conniskey and Navin have been using in their efforts to land a flag in the American league, President Charles H. Ebbets, of the Brooklyn National league club, yes- terday added Larry Cheney, of the Cubs to his picthing staff. He trans ferred Third Baseman Schultz and some money to Chicago in exchange for Cheney. It is hoped in Brook lyn that Cheney will bolster the Rob- ins' pitching staff, which has been wobbling sadly in the last two weeks Dell, Appleton and Smith have been working in trio form in several of their games, neither being able to fn- ish a good one. With Fucker able to work only occasionally, and Jack Coombs drawing the heavy end of the work, Robinson needed a man badly.
 Whether Cheney will be the man is a matter of conjecture. He is the champion hard luck pitcher of the big leagues. Up once, at Cincinnati, he had bad knee and was turned back to Indianapolis, where he start ed. Then he was traded to Louis- ville, whence he went to tho Cubs. After two good seasons with the Cubs he began to lose his effectiveness. This year, troubled with lumbago, he has won nino and lost ten games. Only last week at Brooklyn he was taken out of the box.

WALKER CANNED.
Lack of Temper One of Causes For
 ''Mxie's'' Release by Indians.

Cleveland, Aug. 31.-The release of Roy Walker by the Cleveland club is a. blow to prospects for next seasan, but it. was something that could not be helped. Walker was a better spitcher in some ways than Morton, though lacking Guys control. But a violent temper brought about his re- turn to the minors.
 In effect, it was case of get rid of Walker or stand to have one per- sonal altercation after another. They tell a laughable story about a run-in between Walker and Joe Jackson, when the Carolina slugger was still with the Indians. General Joe feared Walker was going to climb him with a knife. So the Carolinian went out and bought himself a revolver and was loaded for trouble.
 One night at New York while Jack son was host to a number of Cleve- land players the door was opened and in strolled Walker.
 Joes gun was on the dresser and Walker was between Joe and the re- volver. The players who were on hand say it was really funny to see the way Jackson tried to edge over toward the dresser so as to get to that revolver, but Walker was always in between.
 Nothing came of the little by-play, however, as Dixie was in a good hum or on this occasion
