ATHLETICS PLAYERS
 BECOMING RESTLESS

Poor old Connie Mack, who has pi- loted so many pennant winning teams and world champs in his rosy past, is having his troubles these days. Not only have his Athletes quietly rolled into a peaceful berth near-very, very near---the bottom of the American League, but some of his individual players are beginning to develop "temperaments." Recently Walter Kinney jumped the team. and Scott Perry threatens to follow suit. George Burns has also expressed a fervent desire to get away from Philadel- phia.
 With all due respct- for Connie and he is due all the respect in the world, for he has certainly proven himself an able baseball general time and time again-who can blame any ballplayer for wanting to get away from the Athletics. It does get mo- notonous for a real, live player to be with a team which so persistently sticks to a place near the bottom of the league.

As result of his remarkable batting streak. he pulled himself up among the batting leaders of the American League, according to ayers ages including Wednesdays game re- leased today. Last week he was hit.l ting .302. This weeks figures show him to be batting .3S3. He leads the league in total bases with 96, which besides the homers include six dou- bles and three triples He las made 39 hits in S4 games.

BROOKLYN DODGERS VAULT INTO FIRST
 PLACE IN NATIONAL,
Use Ouakers as Stepping Stones to Hoist Them selves Upon Balcony
 In Old League.

! Phila del lphia, June 5-The Brook 'yn Dodgers, playing the role of Romeo, with Dame Fortune as the 'eautiful Juliet, staged d little of the -onakespearean stuff here yesterday afternoon. Climbing upon the bow ed shoulders of Cactus Cravath's s Phillies, the philandering Robins folsted themselves upon the balcony Of the National League. There they tucked Miss First Place snugly in their collective arms and g,uffawed at their rivals with true F'1atbushian eclat. All of which is to say that Uncle Wilbert Robinson's pets shin. nied and otherwise scrambled into the National League lead a the expense Of the passive Quakers, winning by a score of to 1 in the nine innings prescribed by baseball law. In these days it is essential always to record tn number of innings the Dodgers play. @
 Cincinnati and Pittsburgh were scheduled to perform between rifts in the smoke banks of Pirateville, but the Weather Man showered them with rain and the matinee was post poned. While the Reds were idle the Dodgers heard the whisperings Of Dame Fortune, cranked up their am- bitions, fabricated their bats and pro- ceeded to blow themselves to a real joy ride.
 It took lot of judicious batting by the ambidextrous club swingers from the wilds of Brooklyn to make the party success, but they finally suc- ceeded. In so doing they administer ed the first defeat Specs Meadows has suffered this season. Until yesterday afternoon Specs had bowled over no less than five teams. He was survin g his way through the league at the head of the pitchers

NEW HAVEN AFTER SECOND GAME FROM
 HARTFORD CRIPPLES
Clarkin Posfpones Second Game Himself and Causes Feeling in New
 Haven Breasts.

The Indians went into first place yesterday by defeating Hartford to while Bridgeport was being swamped by Worcester, says Dal in the New Haven Journal-Courier. The locals played only one game alth ough two were scheduled for the day Efforts last night to determine why the other game was not played failed to throw any light on the subject According to advices from Hartford, the game was cancelled through an agreement between Owners Clarkin and Weiss before game time. However, Weiss was not with the team yesterday, hav- ing remained in this city to look after the work of completion of the new park, and denied last night that he had even heard from Clarkln,
 It would seem that Clarkin acted upon his own initiative by cancelling
 the game, as the pitching staff of the
 Hartford club is shot to pieces at the
 present time. This state of affairs is
 due in no way to the local club, or in
 fact, any other club, and it is purely Hartford's lookout to have enough pitchers to carry them through any emergency. New Haven should not be denied the opportunity of winning an additional game, just because Dan Howley or any other member of the team would have had to pitch.
 If memory serves us correctly, Pres- ident Dan O'Neil stated at the last leag que meting in Springfield that he would personally assign double-head- CTS to the various cities where post ponements had made them a neces- sity, and that he would see that the games were played as ordered by him. Clarl>in undoubtedly bit off more tina he could chew yeStedray, and it vii. be interesting to see what acton O'Neil will take in the matter.

REFUSE KELLY ENTRY
 IN ENGLISH. HENLEY

Philadelphia, June 5-A cable gram received here from the stew ards of the Henley Regatta announce ed their refusal to accept the entry of Jack Kelly, American sculling champion, to compete for the Dia. mond Souls in England the latter part of this month. The cablegram which was addressed to John Arthur Brown, a member of the American Rowing Assocja ton, read:
 Entry of Jack Kelly for Diamond Souls not accepted Letter will follow. Please advise Kelly.''
 Neither Kelly nor Brown could ex- plain the message. T see no reason for the refusal of my entry,' said Kelly. Possibly the Englishmen are considering the trouble which arose after the return of the Vesper Boat club in 1902 from the English Henley"
 The difficulty arose over the ex- pense account of>the Vesper club, of which Kelly is a member, and the English committee then declared thai no Vesper crew would ever again row in the Henley.

A workingman from another city was telling a few days ago of his ex- perience in trying to get some repairs made on cellar wall. He asked a stone mason what the job would cost. The mason estimated it at $6O.
 The man thought that was too high and being a kind of jack tt all trades. he thought he could do the job. So he. bought his cement and a little stone, and hired a carpenter to jack up the house. His expenses on the job were $S.75, and he did the work in eight hours. and now has a good cellaB wall.
