 Pine Hollow, on Upper Lake Penn broke, Aug. 9.-In a game replete with sensational fielding and terrific hitting the baseball team from Tiger town yesterday afternoon defeated the Pine Hollow aggregatios, composed of college players, by score of 16 to 1. F1tzroy, the Konkapotanauh redskin had the locals at his mercy, flaming 24 of the Pine Hollow batsmen. The fielding of Rogers, at short, and Man. ager O'Leary, at second base, coupled with the terrific batting of Dempsey and Higgins, featured for the Tigers. Be 1t said to the credit of the sup- porters of the Pine Hollow nine, they have furnished their team with nat ty uniforms and laid out one of the finest baseball diamonds in the state The uniforms are of yellow shirts, with the name "Pine Hollow" in let ters of green. The pants are red and the stockings brown while the players shoes are white canvas
 The diamond is close to the edge of upper Lake Pembroke. The right and left fielders are situated so close to the lake that any bail batted one foot over their head is counted a home run as the fielders cannot catch the spheroid without jumping into the waters of the lake.
 Silent Jack Griffin and George Ef- ford were on deck with slathers of money to bet on O'Leary Tigers. It | was gobbled up right and left pre- vious to tho commencement of the game But Griffin and Efford had | seen Rogers, O'Leary, Higgins and Dempsey perform many years ago 1 and they still had confidence in the ability of these Tiger players to bring | home the bacon. The result was that these old wise acres cleaned up a bar rel1 of money on the outcome.
 After the game the Tigers were the | guests of Mir Efford at his summer residence at Lakeside. A fine spread was laid out for the players and a few other invited guests. The chef was Bill Costello. After the repast was served the Tiger nine motored back to their camp in upper Tigertown in 1 Efford's new 12-passenger Packard. with Chauffeur Dan Hatfield at the wheel. During the banquet Mayor Michael O'Connor gave some advice to the Tiger players relative to keep l ing in training. The Tigers manipu- | lated a few tricks which will be pulled off in the game against the Majors at Pleasure Beach. Saturday. August 26, when the big Police Field Day will be held.

KELLEHER YOUNG BROOKLYN RECRUIT,
 IS DENvER'S IDOL

New York, Aug. 9.--Johnny Kelleher is coming to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Little Johnny Kelleher they call him out in Denver, where he is the idol of the village. Kelleher is a shortstop. and rated the best in the Western league He will join the Dodgers on the coming western trip. He may be on Pennantville.
 Louis Cardinals. Lee Magee. of the Yankes, was with St. Louis then, aud he says Ke1leher was a very promis- ing youngster "He looked like a conner" says Lee. r'He was small but very fast, with a good arm and @ nice petition at the plate. He wasn't quito ready for the big league then. He wasn't 1s. 1 have always thought he would come up again. Brooklyn is getting a good man if he has fulfilled tf1e promise he showed four years ago."
 Out Denver way, where the air is thinner than the ham in a Polo grounds sandwich, they swear by Johnny Kelleher. Why shouldn't they? He has hht .330 for the Denver club this year. and leads the league in total bases and runs scored.
 According to the Denver scribes, his work afield and at bat is most spec tacular. The sporting editor of the Denver Times writes the following lines of eulogy:
 Scarcely day passes but Johnny brings the crowd to their feet with either timely bingle or circus catch. Yesterday. for instance. he grabbed Hartford's liner after the crowd had given it up. The catch must have pulled him four feet of the ground. Not long ago, with Denver one run behind, two out and one man on base, in the last of the ninth. he whacked out homer, winning the game in a regular Frank Merriwell fashion"
 Although Kelleher comes to tho Dodgers from Denver, he is not q western boy. His home is in Brook line, Mass, which every New Eng lander knows is juct outside the high brow metropolis of Boston.
 His father is or was a policeman in Brookline. Johnny learned his base ball among the sefni-pros of Boston After his trial with the Cardinals h,' knocked around the Western leagua and finally went to Denver. where Coffey, the old Fordham shortstop, was managing and playing the short field. Kelleher succeeded Coffey as shortstop,

Short Sections of Fan Fodder

Bridgeport will be home tomorrow for a game with Hartford. Ladies. alone or with escorts. will be admitted free to both grounds and grandstand. Manager Healy intends to use Marty Walsh or House against the Sena- tors.
 Johnny Tillman, the pitcher releas- ed yesterday by Bridgeport, says he didn't get enough encouragement from the local management. He claims he has a chance to sign with Utica of the New York State league and may take it. Tillman was given a trial with the St. Louis Browns last season and declares he may be offer ed three year contract by them next year. ,.
 Manager Healy is still on the trail of pitcher. He expects to have a good boxman before the end of the week. Meanwhile the club will get along with House, Walsh, Mulrennan and Turner.
 Even the college heroes don't have everything their own way. The en- gagement. of Miss Agnes Coakley, a Lynn, Mass, heiress, to Charley Brick ley of Harvard fame. has been brok- en. Brickley is summering in New Haven and may land another heiress before the season is over.
 The Washington club has been a jinx for Cleveland for many years and apparently still has the edge on the Indians. Tn 1913 when Cleveland was making a. gallant fight for the flag the club landed in Washington intend ing to clean up. Instead Washington won five straight and Cleveland lost the pennant.

Jap Boxer Knocked
 Out in First Round By American Youngster

New York, Aug. s-rhere's no need worrying over the Yellow Perir'' in boxing for while at least. Ted Hayes, a rugged little American car rying a hefty punch, toppled over Ja- lean Cartuscka of Tolzio, Japan, in 10 seconds of fighting at the Harlem Sporting club of Rockaway last night. The visitor from the land of Nippon had not been in the ring a minute be- fore he was lying flat on his back with the referee counting the fatal ten seconds over him.
 As the bell rang, Hayes walked to- ward his adversary, feinted with his left nTd swung his right to the jaw. Cartuscka stood in the center of the ring. dazed and with his hands hang ing at his side. Hayes saw his chance and quickly whipped over another right to the jaw. Down went Car tuscka and the bout was over.

ROWDFYISM IN BOSTON.

The National league considered at it's meeting in New York today the umpire problem which has arisen in Boston. Although Boston fans have always been considered the fairest in the country they have recently been roasting certain umpires. It is said 9 petition was circulated at Braves field, Boston, asking that Empires Ea- son and .Orth be discharged.
 Manager Stallings of the Braves de- c1ares the umpires are in a conspir- acy to deprive the club of the world s series money and the Boston papers have been falling. for that airy fic- tion The Braves have been making trouble all season. They have been hurling insulting remarks at members of other clubs and it is said all other clubs are roofing for Stal1ings' men to lose the flag. The magnates today are expected to hand Stallings and his rowdy crew a few jolts.
 Worcester has sent Pitcher Bugs Smith to Lowell for the balance of the season. He will probably be glad to get away from the nagginS of Manager Hamilton.
 The Lawrence club will be better off without Bill Luyster. the outfielder who jumped to the Gardiner, Me-, team where Neal Ball is playing. Luy- ster was a disturber who didn't like to take orders from anybody.

If you are weary of everything in life

There is something wrong with you

Something new and interesting in the
world is cropping out every minute. The
most interesting people are those who see
things and are able to get all possible
pleasure out of them. An exhibition of
