FLETCHER TRADED r FOR DAVE BANCROFT

Arthur Fletcher, field captain and sh hortstop of the Giants, was traded Monday to the Philadelphia, Nationa' League club for Dave Bancroft, the peppery little shortfe1der of the Phil lies. Officials of the Giants insist that there was no other consideration. and that it was a straight man for man trade. However, John Rawlings, a member of the Boston Braves, was mentioned as going to the Phillies, presumably after purchase by the Giants, in the deal.
 Secretary O'Brien of the Giants, has denied that Rawlings was in any way connected with ttae deal and it was also denied that the Giants had given some cash as well as Fletcher for the nimble footed Quaker. It is known that McGraw several days ago made an offer to purchase Rawlings from the Boston club, but, according to George W. Grant. president of the Braves, he has not heard anything from the New York club since he set price on the player.

STORMY SESSION
 AT POLO GROUNDS
Giants Win Game from Cincin-
 nati Featured by Plenty of Fireworks.

George Burns spent ten minutes on third base at the Polo Grounds yester- day afternoon while arguments ragged all about him and unnpires were pull ing Ingersolls from their pockets and threatening to forfeit a ball game. During a. part of the delay, Eddie Roush stretched himself in centre field for a n afternoon nap. Finally, when quiet had been restored and every body was ready for the game to go on, Roush was still stretched out at full length on the greensward and Umpire Barry Mccormack put him out of the game for this exhibition of lese ma jeste-
 Then came another delay, during which the heretofore quiet Roush be- came a central figure in a storm scene in which Pat Moran and other Reds restrained Eddie from emulatng Bob Shawkey's recent expensive exploit Tn
 Boston. Roush wanted to mingle
 more closely with the ump than the l law allows. For the second time the verbal storm abated and then Dave Bancroft slipped a roller through the pins of Morris Rath, and Burns hus- tied home with the run which gave McGraw's men a victory over the | Cincinnati Reds, 5 to f.
 It was the first appearance of the Reds at the Polo Grounds since they won hOnOrS as world S ChamplonS ana about 5000 fans were out to see some
 excitement Up to the eighth inning 1 it did not develop and then it came in clusters. First the Reds pulled UT the two-run lead which the Giants
 had been manufacturing and the score
 was tied at four runs. The champs had runners on first and third bases when Rath bounded to Jess Barnes for the final out.
 | Then Burns touched off the fire works with grounder along the lef- field foul line. Mccormack, unpirlns
 behind the plate, declared it, a. faii
 ball. The word w-asn't out of his
 mouth before Ivy Wingo tossed hi: glove into thn air ~-d followed witt a high toss of his mask. Up wont the umpire's right thumb and with ths
 motion came instructions for Wingt to hie himself away from the battle That started the big fuss.

DAVIES INELIGIBLE
 TO PLAY ANY MORE

Announcement was made in New Haven last night that Chick Davies will not be eligible to play with the New Haven outfit until some decision is reached regarding him remaining with the Indians
 The question was raised in this city last week as to Davies status with the club, and President O'Nen re- ceived g. protest from the Park City, stating that Davies should not be all lowed to play with the Indians. It seems that his playing with the New Haven team affected the player limit which the teams must abide by, his presence on the roster of the club ap- parently putting New Haven above the limit This was the only possible point the Bridgeporters could have raised, and they made the best of it. The matter has been taken up with Secretary Farrell of the National As sociation of Professional Baseball Leagues, and during the interim Dav- ies will not play with the Indians.

Recognizing 1906 as the debutant season for Tyrus Cobb in major league company, although he figured in a few games the previous Sea son, this year will be the wonderful Detroit's stars fifteenth season as regular. Ty has made his usual slow start in batting. This year. however, it is a bit slower than formerly, and there are all sorts of conjectures as to the significance of the Cobb de- linquency insthe matter of collecting hits. There is an impression afloat that this season will make the end of his long reign as the leading hitter of the American League and his gen eral ability to qualify as the greatest all around player of the ages.
 The controversy as to who was the greater player, sTy Cobb or Hans Wagner in his prime, will forever flourish as one of the great discus sions- Time, the inexorable strike out demon, started the mighty Hans on his march after his fifteenth amaz- ing season of diamond exploits. Wag- ner headed the National League bats men for the last time then, al- though, he still continued in the game a. while longer and rated as a 300 mace-wie1der. Is this Cobb's if teenth season as a peerless sensa- tion, to be his "Ides of March, '' too, with time the unbeatable enemy, halting the Cobbian march of astonishing diamond deeds, and in its stead issuing a. deed for a shrine in Balloons graveyard of the immortals?

 COMING YACHT RAGE
Associate Skipper, Mrs. Bur- ton, Says She is Counting on Winning the Gov
 eted Cup.

New York, June 9-One of the mi tigating circumstances in the life of a. yacht racer and prodigiously sue cessful trophy hunter is the fact that not every cup is a cup.
 At least that is the opinion of Mrs. Burton, associate" Skipper of Sir Thomas Lipton's American Cup con- tender, Shamrock ", who is here to help her husband Captain w. M. Bur ton, try for the trophy whih has re- posed west of the Atlantic since 1855. Her paradoxica1 sounding opinion was uttered very seriously.
 Happily some of them are sa1vers, tea services, and what not,' she said Imagine the housewifely task of pol ishing something like a thousand cups of embossed silver"
 Having the cups is very fine, Mrs. Burton says, but the real joy of the thing is the race. Since her marriage, Mrs. Burton has not miss ed a race with her husband, who de clares he'd as soon sail race with out his topsail as leave his wife be hind.
 Mrs. Burton was reticent as to the precise sea duties of an associate skipper.
 II stand in the companionway just beyond the wheel and I always know that everything is coming out right and that we are going to win," she finally explained.
 She said she never suffered from nervousness and never, never dream ed of making suggestions to her hus- band or in any way d1stract1ng his attention from the minutiae of his duties as heImsnan.

It is expected that. Marty Walsh and Buster Brown will oppose each other today in New Haven when Bridgeport and New Haven will hook up in the rt]aird game of this weeks series to de- yternine which team will continue as drum major of the ESastern league. The New Haven outfit has been on Ethe balcony a long time and Bridge port has made a strenuous effort to
 hau1 them back.
 Yesterday the Americans took a apaYrch at them and gave them a lac 1n5y, 10 to 4, so that the struggle today and tomorrow will be just as i~terest- 3ng as the two games played in this city.
 One of the features of the game tyesterSfay was the manner in wh1ch Roy Grimes crossed Pitcher Martin who attempted to pass him with two rznen on the sacks. Everything went .aEong as intended until the fourth pbaH was pitched. Instead of standing Idly by and wos.-- for the fourth ball. Grimes pulled a.

GIANTS GIVE STATE
 TO BOSTON RED SOX

John McGraw Monday announced the release of Arnold (Jigger) Statz. the outfelder, to the Boston club of the American League. The New Yorks asked for waivers on Statz some time ago. with the intention of sending him to Rochester to keep Bowen company. StaH and Bowen came to the Giants from Holy Cross College. The other National League clubs waived on Statz, but Ed Bar raw decided to take him on. He saw a good deal of Statz in the spring tour with the Giants and liked his work
 Statz started out to be wonder, but fzzled below the 200 mark in hit ting. He was used against left hand ed pitching in centre field in place of kauff. King now is being used in his place. Statz would be a better hitter ,, in baseball if he did not play so much golf He has the distinction of hav- ing beaten Francis Ouimet on the links, and has turned down the offer of a position as golf professional.
