I. A. A. c. LOSING STARS.
Pat Mcdonald and Pat Ryan to
 Withdraw.
By Briggs


 New York, Aug 1.-The Irish American A. c. will have to make strenuous efforts if it wishes to keep the few good athletes still registered under it's colors. Pat Mcdonald, former national shotput champion, who was on the point. of transferring to unattached just before P. J. Con- way, president of the club, announced that it would return to active compe- tition. has virtually determined to draw out and when he goes he will be followed by Pat Ryan, holder of the worlds record for the hammer throw with the attitude followed by the Irish club, and he believes that he will be better in another organization. This holds true, too, with Ryan. He feels that when Lawson Robertson left to go to the University of Pennsylvania the club should have engaged a new coach. and it's failure to do so has con- vinced him that they can have more opportunity for competition if they join another outfit.
 Joe Higgins, the New England middle distance champion, who joined the club in the spring, is the only star has not been shaken. Higgins plans to stick to the club until it decided def- nitelv whether it plans to go on with athletics or whether it plans to drop out altogether.

STORM HALTS GAME AT CINCI.

Cincinnati, Aug. "A heavy thun- der storm quickly drenched Redland field and drove the Giants and Mattys Reds to cover here yesterday after noon. The rain descended at the be- ginning of the second inning, with the New York team leading by score of 2 to 1. Pol Perritt and big Pete Schneider were the opposing pitchers. In the first inning Herzog singled and scored when Bennie Kauff hit for three bases. The little outfielder crossed the plate on Zimm herman S safe hit. With the Giants at the bat in the second inning the rain started, and after waiting twenty minutes Bill Byron called the struggle off. It was announced here last night that Ernie Kruegger, the young catcher. had been claimed by the Brooklyn club. This probably means that either Chief Meyers or Otto Miller will be turned loose shortly by the Robins.

WALTZ AND MACK TO
 COLLIDE IN MERIDEN
Johnnie Dr1ummie and Young Oscar Gardner Furnish Other Half Of Well-Balanced Bill.

Boxing fans of this city are consid- erably interested in the boxing show now being staged by the Lenox A. c. of Meriden in Thursday evening. in which Young Mack of Meriden will meet Sammy Waltz of Hartford at 128 pounds and Young Oscar Gard- ner of Cleveland will box Johnnie Drummie of Waterbury at 135 pounds. Both affairs are being advertised as star bouts. The first will go 12 rounds and the second 10. In six round preliminary event Jimmy Welton of Meriden will meet Young Russell of New York.
 Followers of the astic game in this city are we'll acquainted with Sammy Waltz and are equally as we'll aware that he Is promised a tough customer in Young Mack. The Meriden boy in his entire career has suffered but one defeat and that only by marrow margin to Charlie Bergen of New Haven. Mack has won most of his bouts through a knockout and 1t is in this manner that he hopes to dis pose of the Hartford favorite. For a long time an attempt has been made to match the pair and finally when WalIZ consented to SlNc u lc~ pounds in weight the go was clinched by the Lenox.
 In the other star bout there is bound to be considerable excitement. Johnnie Drummie in his late draw bout with Chic Brown proved that he is capable of meeting the best of them and he surely meets one rof that class when he stacks up against Young, Oscar Gardner. In prepara- ton for the mill Drummie has been training most faithfully, fully aware that he is up against one of the toughest propositions of this career' The preliminary event is also awakening more than ordinary inter- est Jimmy Welton, like his towns man Young Mack, has suffered but one defeat in two years and that was to Young Russell, the boy whom @he meets on this card. Dave Fitzgerald will act as referee and Hugh Rorty as announcer. The show will start at s:15 and will be held rain or shine.

/. St. Louis, Aug. I'm one of the best pitched games seen in St. Louis this season, the Cardinals, by grace iof ninth inning rally, shut out the champion Dodgers by a score of 1 to 10. The victory gave Miller Huggins' contenders an edge of three games to one in the series to date.
 The contest from the very start was pitching duel between Larry Cheney and Mule Watson. While the latter was victorious, he did not outpitch the champions. Had the Dodgers availed themselves of opportunity so well as did the locals Cheney might have had a commanding lead by the time the battle swung into the last round.
 On any one of several occasions a we'll placed bunt might have saved Brooklyn scalp. The team eschewed safety first policies and strung along with the hit and run. At this style Brooklyn was unlucky. Twice hard smashes travelled right at in- nelders and were converted into

COMPANY D PROMOTIONS
Many Men Are Moved Up For
Rapid Mastering of Mil
itary Work

If the boys of the Governor
Troop are sent to either Mt. Gretna
or Tobyhanna it Will be very much
against their present expectations
The route and the railroads they will
travel to Augusta, Georgia, has al
ready been mapped out and when
the order comes to hit the trail it is
believed they will travel the one
that has been decided upon at least
for the present. A representative OF
the southern railroad visited Captain
Roberts this morning and discus
sed travel on the southern routes
The exact route they will travel OF
course will not be published but the
proposed route is known to the Off
GERS.
Rumors are still rife as usual con-
corning armored trucks, 16-inch
guns for artillery and everything
that has been mentioned concerning
their ultimate designation. one in
sists that a great shortage of armor-
ed trucks exist, therefore they can
not go as an armored unit. Another
is quite sure that the short heavy
bore guns being made over the
country is a sure sign that a large
number OF other branches of the SER
vice will be converted into heavy
artillery.
Has Records Drawn
Dick Hamer, clerk TO Captain
Roberts, has completed the enlist
ment records of the men. A COM
plete physical record describing each
man is kept on his record. Every
thing that he does worthy of men
ton is also noted. If he performs q
meritorious act it is marked down
and when promotions are being
made it will stand in his favor. II
on the contrary he forgets himself
and falls to the temptations that
constantly cntice the boys, he is due
for a reprimand and that will stare
him in the face some time in the
future. The men are not allowed to
talk to the girls while on duty.
First TO Mobilize
The First Pennsylvania Infantry
has been ordered to mobilize in
Philadelphia tomorrow. The en-
tire regiment is scattered between
Philadelphia and Harrisburg on
guard duty at railroad bridges. 1t
will be replaced by special duty men
in employ of the Pennsy. 1t is eN-
pected that the Third Regiment on
duty between here and Johnstowu

on the island are being gone over
and the men who are recent recruits
will be inoculated in the very near
future. The men who saw border
service will escape that ordeal.
Eighth Filling Up
Recruiting for the Eighth Regi-
ment is progressing rapidly and un-
less orders to move South come in a
short time it is believed the regi-
ment will go recruited to full wal
strength. Unless the notices fol
drafted men to appear for eXamina-
ton are posted within a short time
at the present rate it will take q
week to fill the regiment.
Fourteen men have enlisted thi.
week and been sent to the companies
that need men. Companies A and K
of York, B, of Tamaqua, f, at Hunt.
ingdon, and G.. at Carlisle, all need
men. Recruits of any or the above
