BUCHAREST. April 2S.-Foreign-

can hardly believe that the greatest
war OF all times is shaking the foun-

is gayer than ever before. The
Roumanian love of luxury and I'M

itself with an extravaganza that is
astonishing.

the fashionable restaurants and
cafes the wine flows in streams,
enormous sums are lost in tn. many
gilded gambling places and the
streets are filled with laughing, sty-

Luxury, prodigality and almost
childish careIessness meet the eyes of
the stranger everywhere. The light

nation is dancing on the brink Of a
volcano but nobody seems 10 think

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S93-Billy Trimmer defeated George Dixon in rounds at New York Trimmer was an Englishman, 5 feet 3h inches in height, and one of the best little fellows who ever climb ed through the ropes. He had de- feated all the best bantams of Great Britain before he came to America in 1892. After defeating Tom Kelly, Jerry Barnett and Joe McGrath, all at Coney Island, Trimmer was matched to box rounds with George Dixon. The Chocolate Drop was then at the height of his powers, and held undis- puted sway over the featherweight division, but Trimmer outfought him nearly all the way. This was not a title match, however. so Dixon retain ed the championship, although Plim- ruer was generally hailed as the king pin of the little fellows. The English man made a tour of America, meeting all corners in exhibition bouts, and in 1894 he was matched to fight Johnny Murphy 25 rounds in New Orleans, the battle going to 8 draw. The following year Billy returned to his native land, and there sustained the first defeat of his career, losing in 14 rounds to Ped lar Palmer at the National Sporting Club. He was again licked by Pedlar in 1898, and soon afterwards quit the game.

WHITE S0X CALL
 KID GLEASON FOR
 FINAL FLAG DRIVE

New York, Aug 22.-That the Chi. eago White Sox are getting all set to give Boston a battle right down the stretch in the drive for this years pennant is indicated by the fact that Kid Gleason. veteran of decade ago has been called back to the colors ir his former capacity of coach and ad- wiser. s,,
 The old guard of baseball have a lut of confidence in each other. When one of them wants a man to steady his ball club he usually turns to an old timer. So Charles Comiskey, feel ing his club has great chance but needs an old head to keep up the cour- age and spirits of the players, has turned to Gleason.
 { The Kid, just as tough as ever, with his cap pulled down over one eye and exuding fighting spirit from every pore, joined the White Sox here Sat- urday. and it was considerable of a surprise to the fans when his gray match bobbed up from the Chicago dugout It was the first time he had been with the team since he passed out along with Jimmie Callahan two years ago.
 Gleason has been signed up to act as coach for the Sox during the balance
 f the season. after being lured out
 his retirement at the earnest soli-
 tation of both Comiskey and Mana br Clarence Rowland. Gleason was t Atlantic City getting good coat f sunburn when he was called back

WILLIAMS WILL MEET
 GRIFFIN IN FIRST PART (
 OF TENNIS TOURNAMENT

New York. Aug. 22-If Richard Norris Williams. Ed, is to reach the final round for the national lawn ten his championship in the tournament which is to be started next Monday. he will have to dispose of Clarence J. Griffin. Williams and Griffin were among those placed in the upper half in the blind draw held yesterday af- ternoon in the offices of the United States National Lawn Tennis Associa- tion, at 20 Broad street.
 There are several others in the up- per half who may make trouble Tor Williams, but Griffin appears to be the only man who is sure of giving the former champion hard fight. and possibly beating him. Griffin has already taken Williams measure twice this season.
 Every player of prominence in this country was included among the IFS names drawn for the championship singles. In addition there were the two Japanese stars, Ichiya Kumagae and Hachischiro Mikami; A. W. Mac pherson. one of the dobles champions o: Russia, and Count Otto Salm- RaasstraAtAn oS AustStS- f

BROOKLYN WON'T
 LET DAUBERT GO
 FOR ZIMMERMAN

Chicago, Aug 22.-Negotiations still are going on between the Chi cago club and the Boston Braves for a trade involving the famous Heinie Zimmerman. Whatever chance there was of a trade between Chicago and Brooklyn fell flat yesterday when Charles Weeghman announced that he wanted Jake Daubert or one of the other Brooklyn stars for Heinie. Poor Ebbets has not got over the blow yet.
 Weeghman told Charley, There is one player on your club I would be willing to take for Zimm."
 Ebbets was interested. ''Who is he?" asked Charles H.
 Jake Daubert," answered Weegh- man and that ended all trade talk.
 However, a deal by which Zim- merman would go to the Braves was really believed to be on yesterday. George Stallings. manager of the Bos- tons, was in conference for hours with President Weeghman and Man ager Tinker, but the deal still is at a deadlock.
 The Boston offer for Zimmerman though 1t was not given out, fell short of what the Cub management considered an equivalent for the third baseman and a counter offer by Man ager Tinker to trade Zimmerman for Maranville did not prove acceptable to Stalings. The Boston club, it is understood, offered to give Chicago two outfielders Or young pitcher.

DOC WHITE AND EDDIE
 CICOTTE COULD WELD
 100000 SIGN ON TANKS

x New York. August 22.-For several eeasons after Doc White had outlived his usefulness against the general run of American League clubs he was re- tained as member of the White Sox hurling corps for the especial benefit of the Yankees. A mark for prac- dca1ly every other team in his cir quit during the last few years of his Chicago connections. White was yer itatle left-handed Johnson against the Yankees almost to the very end.
 Came a time eventually when a managerial job called him to the Pa ciflc Coast for the first time in many . long and dreary year. and the Yam kees felt free and easy in their minds q they contemplated future competi- tfon against the White Sox. Their hopes were speedily dashed, however for White had scarcely gone away from east upon the New Workers . spell Chicago when Ed Sicotte bobbed up to almost as potent as the old White hoodoo itself.
 A failure at Boston, Cicotte has been of little account with Chicago except when pitted against the Yankees. Bos- ton has given him some unmerciful lactngs, Detroit has his, number, Cleveland welcomes his infrequent ap- pearances against the Indians with sQueals of joy. and even Washington holds him in poor esteem. Against the Yankees, however, he almost in- variably looks like the best pitcher in all the world

CRIPPLED LOCALS
 DEFEATED IN LYNN
Special to The Farmer.)

Lynn, Aug. 22.-The Bridgeport club went into battle yesterday with a crippled lineup but nevertheless man aged to give Lynn hard hght before losing to the Cobblers to 8. Russell. the Toronto farmland, was on the slab for Bridgeport. Although touched for ten hits he kept them well scat tered except in the first when Lynn got three runs.
 Waite Hoyt, the Giant recruit who has been ha mmered hard by the Hust- lers in previous contests. had the Bridgeport boys helpless yesterday. He allowed only five hits and but for fit of wildness in the first round they might not have scored as they did. Joe Briggs made two great catches.
 In the opening round Hoyt filled the bases by passing two after Deininger had doubled. Another walked forced in run. Bridgeport did not score again until the ninth when an error by Gleason. Briggs smash and Fla herty's hit produced two.- Because Bakers Charley horse" made 1t pos- sible for him to run, Flaherty was used at third and Moshier caught, The score:

M'L0UGHLIN TO
 BE WATCHED AT MEADOW TOURNEY

Southampton. N. r.. Aug. 22-The last test of tennis skill before the national championships at Forest Hills began yesterday when the an- nual invitation tournament opened at the Meadow club with an entry of SS players. among whom were some of the strongest in the country. Includ- ed in the entries are such men as William M. Johnston, the present singles champion; Richard Norris Williams. Ed. champion of two years ago; Ichiya Kumagae, who conquered Johnston at Newport, and Maurice E. Mclaughlin, who will make his first Eastern appearance of the season at this event
 Interest centres about the appear ance of Mclaughlin, who, despite his wonderful record. stands as the dark horse in relation to the singles cham pionship.. The Coast star did not ap- pear for play, but positive assurance was received that he would come to Southampton early in the morning and that he would compete in the singles.
 Players as well as spectators are waiting to see the former champion in action. for only then will there be set at rest the conflicting rumors this year regs rdins his ability. The Cali fornian drew . flrst-round bye. and according to the schedule will play Reginald Coax in the second round. In the upper half of the draw. with Mclaughlin. are included Williams. Watson M. Weshburn, Willis E. Davis. Kumagae. Theodore Roosevelt Pell. and Joseph J. Armstrong, who de- feated Kumagae at Longwood.
 Johnston May Not Play.
 It was rumored that Johnston and Kumagae might decide not to play in the singles but there was no defi- mite statement to this effect. and the latter was advanced to the second round by the default of E. L. Norton.

PITCHER DONOVAN OF NEW HAVEN IS PASSED
 UP BY CONNIE MACK

New, Haven. Aug. 22-A dispatch from Philadelphia last night gives a list of the baseball players that Man ager Connie Mack, of the Philadel- phia Athletics. has purchased in ar effort to bolster his club for next sea- son. Eight players are included in the list and a noticeable feature is that the name of Harry Donovan, New Haven's star pitcher, is not among them.
 It is believed that Mack, in passing up Donovan at this stage, may feel that the local man is in need of fur ther seasoning before he can expect trial under the big tent. Then, again. Mack may have planned upon taking a chance at capturing Dono- van in the draft net It is known that three major-leagu, clubs are sweet on Donovan. but none of them has gone so far as to make an offer for him.

WELSH WILL NOT
 GAIN ANY GLORY BY DEFEATING WHITE

New York, Aug. 22--It generally happens that the winner of a bout with the title in, the balance gets considerable glory as well as coin for his efforts. The coming bout between Freddie Welsh, the titleh old CT, and Charley White does not offer much in the way of glory for the champion. He is taking a chance, but very remote one, of losing his title. and victory will bring him quite a little money. It can hardly add to his prestige as boxer.
 To take on White, Welsh had to pass up two boxers who are generally conceded by boxing followers to rank ahead of the slow footed Chicagoan over the twenty round route, or any other distance, for that matter. Both Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee appeared to have better right to d bout than White. On that account any attempt to show that the cham pion is taking a desperate chance be- cause White has several knockouts to his credit does not fool anybody. Welsh should glide easily to a de- cision over the Chicagoan. He might glide to a decision over either of the NeW 1OFh pOyS, pul HOpouy pO- lieves he would. Welsh undoubtedly has some doubts, too.
 New York boxing followers who have seen both Welsh and White in action many times cannot figure where White will do much in the coming bout Even when Welsh s recent bout with Leonard, his best here in years, is thrown out of the calculations. the champion figures to jab the Chicago boxer until he is tired. In brief the contest should furnish Welsh with no severe test, such as he would get in a longer bout with a strong and fast young boxer of the Dundee type or with puncher like Leonard.
 Welsh once got a newspaper decision over Dundee at New Orleans by a tenth round rally. but he refused to make 1855 pounds for the match and the Italian at that time was boxing at 12S pounds. Both Leonard and Dundee are racing now to get first chance at Welsh after he disposes of White.

.CuLL0P PILES UP
 TWEFTH VICTORY FOR YANKEE TEAM

New York, Aug. 22.-The Yankees started the week well by defeating the White Sox at the Polo Grounds yes- i terday by a score of to ?. There were several features to the game. In the first place, there were the features Of Nicholas CullOp, a left handed Vir- ginia gentleman, which were perme- ated by a genuine Southern smile It was Nick's twelfth Victory for the season, and he was very much pleased with it. It is doubtful whether any, thing could have been given him which would have pleased him more. Then there were the features of Walter Pipp, which also were bright with inward sunshine. Pipp waited until the sixth inning and then damned home run into the upper portion of the right field stand Not only was it a lusty wallop, but it was Walters ninth home run of the year, which makes him No. in the rating lof American league circuit ciouters Up to the time that the ball bounded merrily among the seats of the grand stand Pipp and Baker had been tied at eight homers apiece.
 The Tanks had on their batting clothes, although Pipp almost came
 
 the eighth, and had to be repaired by Jimmy Dugan, who did an artistic job of tailoring with some adhesive tape.
 How well Jim Scott might have bat ted for Chicago is problematical, be. cause while he started the contest for the White Sox he did not remain in it long enough to come to bat The wei. come given him by the home team was so warm that at the end of the second inning he left for the cool com fort of the shower bath. triple. two doubles and three singles were the only hits that the Tanks got from Jim,
 Danforth was Clarence Rowland,s second selection for the mound. Row land was a pretty good second guess, as the tall soutpaw was fairly effec- tive. Pipp and Mullen were the only men who could hit him at all, and had it not been for their efforts he would have held the Yankees hitless and runless while he graced the pitchers box.

THIRD WHlTEWASH IN SUCCESSION FOR
 M'GRAW'S CROWD

St. Louis, Aug. 22.-Twenty-eight gone since the Giants made a tally, Their run-making ability is becoming more and more depleted every day. Whitewashes are coming to them thick and fast. The second one in two ad- joining days came yesterday. They were beaten 1 to o by the Cardinals. They didn't score Sunday and they didn't score in the last ten innings in Chicago last Saturday :.
 Defeats have accumulated so fast since they crossed the Hudson that nine in the last ten games have been piled up. In five of those nine defeats they've been shut out. They are the runless wonders Making timely hit, that is a hit when somebody Is on base within reasonable scoring dis tance. is becoming a lost art. Both Sallee and Tesreau on thir trip have done splendid pitching which has gone to waste, because in the same games the batting of the Giants was weak.
 The team is down in the mouth. It isn't indifferent playing which makes 1t lose, though the prolonged unpro- ductiveness of effort may make it ap- pear that way. It is case of execu- tion on the offense dropping and dropping despite effort to get out of the rut.
 Sallee, in his first game in St. Louis under the banner of McGraw, was op- posed by Mule Watson. Sallee pitched in first class style, slightly, but only slightly excelled by the youngster. Nobody can win when his team can- ont score, and that's the batting sup port Sallee received. Nevertheless, in spite of the jibes and raunts of the experts in that line who inhabit the bleachers in this partisan provincial point, Sallee went ahead coolly and competently and acquitted himself with credit nOtwithstardinp

RAIL BACK FROM MAINE

Neal Ball, former manager Of the Bridgeport club, has returned to his home in this city after playing short season with Augusta in the Maine league. Ball says the clubs have fin ished their regular season and are now engaged in a special series. Tie Belgrade club wanted him for this series but he found life in Maine pretty dull and decided to return home.
 Ball says the gay life is not very popular in Augusta. There are few moving picture theatres but after 9:30 at night you seldom see anybody on the streets Johnny Tillman, the hurler released by Bridgeport, is twirling for Augusta, and getting by.
 Pie Way, the Yale pitcher who was signed by the Giants, has been very successful since he was farmed out to Rochester. He has won five straight for the International leaguers.
 The Boston Red Sox continues to plod along in their winning way and unless the western teams reduce their lead Carrigan's men will go west with such a big advantage that they can- not be overhauled.
 Russell, the new Bridgeport pitch CT, looked better in his game at Lynn yesterday. The Toronto recruit has been i'll with fever but says he will have it out of his system in few days.
 Mike Flaherty went to third base and gave a good account of himself in the Lynn game. It looks like a mis- take to take him from behind the bat for he is far superior to Moshier in handling pitchers.
