FINES KLEM $1O0
 FOR ROUGH TALK
President Heydler Imposes Same Penalty on Luque
 Cuban Ball Player.

g Cincinnati club charges that Bill Klem, the umpire, addressed Pitcher Luque in terms abusive if not uu- couth and said to have been sent to John Heydler, National League presi- dent, had not reached the executive yesterday. The chances are they won't tell him anything. about the r11ction he doesn't know. Since the fight last week between Klem and Luque the umpire has informed President Heyd- Ter that he did use rough language to the Cuban. He has beaten the Cin- ctnnau club if. as it were.
 Umpires are not always courteous and polished gentlemen on the field themselves. as Klem's frankiacknowl- edgment makes plain. Thereare-cer- tain chips on the shoulder members of thfs.craft who have shown.a trend toward arrogance and exaggerated ideas ofTtheir owne1mportance. Which same has been p1ainsasN1ay~the last year or so.
 President Heyd1er- has fined Klem $100 for his part in the-Cincinnati dis turbance and aLuque has been fined a like amount. Ivy Wingo, the Reds. catcher, who was mixed upsin sthe af-- fair, has been suspended. Another player on whom suspension~was vis- ited yesterday is Le Bourvea1 oof the Phillies for his part in the Quaker t'riots''~ 1ast1week. He is set dowukfor three days.

RECALLS SHARKEY'S
 WIN OVER RUHLIN

Twentytwo years ago today" re- an old sport fan, "I saw one hum-dinger of a fight, even though it only lasted one round. Tom Shar- key and Gus Ruhlin were the fighters and the scene of the battle was Coney Island. The hard hitting sailor man landed a sleep producer on Gus and the fight was over before many of us had even got settled comfort ably in our seats But it was a good scrap while it lasted.
 That was the first fight of the series between Sharkey and Ruhlin. Two years later they met again at Coney Island, and this time Gus was the victor, having been given the decision after fifteen rounds of hard fighting. Tom was sore and bided his time for a third battle with his rival In 1902 the third bout took place, the scene shifting to Lon don, England. This was a mighty good fight, but -Ruh1in was too strong for Sharkey and in the eleventh r" nd Gus was declared the victor.'

YACHT RACE IS
 NOTABLE EVENT
Cost of Race Lost Forever Because There is No Gate,
 Receipts to Draw From.

It is an undisputed fact that one of the most important events in the world of sports is an international ] yacht race for the Americas Cup. There may be world series in base ball, international polo matches, tennis contests for the Davis Cup and other forms of sports but few of these events create more interest than is centered in a race for the, 'sblue ribbon of the seas" What creates the enthusiasm on the part of millions of people who do not know a boom from gaff is now one of the wonders of the sporting world. Still it is the case and must therefore be accepted without comment.
 The only solution to the mystery lies in the fact that the lay mind is astonished by the tremendous sums that have been spent in races for the Americas Cup. That men are willing to spend million dollars to defend a battered piece of silver that original ly was worth only 100 guineas ap- peals to the popular fancy. To make the situation even more unique, the money is gone forever. Not one penny comes back in the way of "gate receipts" Again, once the se- ries is ended, the yachts that raced are only worth what they will bring in junk. Nothing is more useless than an Americas Cup boat when the series is ended.
 When Commodore Stevens ahd his l associates originally gave the '1o0 1 guineas cup" to the New York Yacht 1 Club to be a perpetual trophy for 1 international racing, they never l dreamed that a race for the bit of l silver would cost a fortune. The ever | increasing cost is just the result of 1 circumstances. That cup race was 1 too much for one man to finance first
 became apparent after Canada had l tried unsuccessfully to capture the | cup with the sloop Atalanta.
 It was in the fall of 1881, after that unsuccessful attempt, that the
 officials of the New Yacht Club first
 began to take account of the cost of I defending the trophy. It was the first I time that yacht had been built for | the especial purpose of defending the
 cup, although the new craft, Poca- I hontas, proved to be a failure and was not used for the purpose. The
 boat was built by the flag officers oi
 the club, and the cost of construction
 added to the cost of running hel
 during the trial period and with the
 incidental expense to the club oi
 managing the contest, made a tota,
 of $20.000.
 This, in the eyes Of the racing of f1ciaIs was rather a large sum to pay
 for the purpose, and they concluded
 that something would have to bt
 done to reduce the cost of the cuI ! races. Something was done, in the
 way of amending the deed of gift ii
 such a manner, as to prevent smaL
 Canadian boats from cha11engius thereafter.
 At present. the cost of defendins the cup in one contest is considerable more than 20 times the s20,000 of : generation ago.

Bunching Hits Give
 Americans Victory
WALSHMEsN IN ALBANY FOR TWO GAME SERIES WITH NEW YORK SENATORS-LOCALSW WITH
 IN STRIKING DISTANCE OF LEAD

Manager Walsh's Americans are in Albany today for a. two game series with the New York Senators and the Walshmen are. determined to hold their place near the tcp of the heap. Yesterday they took a game from Springfield by 9unching their hits in the third and fourth innings and made enough runs in those two sessions to defeat Springfield, 5 to 4. Bohn was peppered so hard in the fourth that Jensen was hurried to his relief and the run making was stopped, but Bridgeport had obtained a sufficient quantity.
 Breaks of the game were with Bridgeport and the local athletes took advantage of them all especially in the fourth session when the runs were piled up. After that both pitch CTS frightened up and the visitors were unable to penetrate Houses defense. The score:

SHINE BALL KING
 IS HAVING TROUBLE

Poor old Eddie Cicotte! The base ball fans had about concluded that he was toEe man that Father Time could not lick, when something hap pened and defeats began to pile up on him, Last year he was the sen- sation of the American League, but up to date this season his work has been decidedly poor. The thing which probably hit Cieotte harder than his thirty-six years of age, is the ruling which bars his famous shine ball"
 It is quite probable that Eddie would be as good today as he was a year ago if, this particular kind of pitching sWere still permitted.

POOR CONDITION
 BEAT YALE CREW
Stroke Peters Did Not Fully Regain His Strength
 Before Race

Despite the hum11iating defeat of Yale on the Thames last Friday strong opinion is held among experts that the stroke which Coach Nfcka1ls taught was about perfect no matter from what angle it is viewed. The usual rush to hold Nickalls responsi- b1e for the defeat has not impressed those who know anything about row ing. The truth of the matter seems to be that the crew was not in good physical condition. It appears now that Stroke Peters and one other member, who suffered from ptomaine poisoning some weeks ago, regardless of the training they went through after their recovery. did not fully regain their strength. Peters total collapse, aside from losing the race, looked for a time as though it might prove serious for the future health of that young man as it was some hours after the contest before he showed signs of certain recovery in spite of the fact that he was in the hands of physicians constantly for a consider able period. It is now stated that the intestinal pains which he suffered were of the most acute nature and 1t is considered remarkable that he was able to continue the gruelling fight as long as he did.
 There is a spot somewhere, how ever, in the management of the Yale crew that is open to grave criticism The crew as a whole was not in good physical condition and it seems fair to assume that some one interested in the outcome of the race should have known this and if necessary thrown in substitutes. Some mem bers of the crew acted as though overtrained. They had gone stale, as it is said in sporting parlance. On the other hand one or two men could have been picked out who appeared . not to have faithfully observed the strict requirements of training.
