.BRU|N VETS PLAY;
MACK STARS REST
Rookie Shortstop Shines as
American League Champs
Trim Detroit.
BY WILLIAM j. CHAPMAN,

w YITH more than two weeks Of
N sham battles remaining prior
wv to the big fight for the title,
the Athletics and the Cubs
are moving toward the world
series In exactly opposite manners
Working on the theory that the best
rest is hard days work, Joe Mccarthy
is keeping his regulars at their accus-
toned posts as the hirelings of Corne-
the bench-or even away from the park
altogether.
It's childrenS day almost every after
noon at Shibe Park now, and from the
capers some of the juveniles are cutting
it might be inferred that the Mackmen
will boast a strong freshman squad in
1880. Young Eric McNair, widely
heralded shortstop from Memphis by
way of Knoxville, made his big league
bow yesterday to the accompaniment Of
three hits in five attempts, and scored
the winning run for the Athletics in a
10-inning. 2to-1 triumph over the
Tigers.
One Rookie Beats Another.
Master McNair's antics indicated for
the moment at least, Connie Mack's
payment of $4,000 for his release, but
they placed a somewhat lower valuation
upon a prize Tiger purchase from
Evansville in the Three Eye League.
Whitlow Wyatt. The young Detroit
pitcher also was making his debut in
the big time, but the zeal of Master
McNair spoiled everything for the Mid
western recruit.
Connie Mack employed only Simmons
from his regular corps. The Milwaukee
Pole failed to hit in four attempts and
then retired in favor of French. Sim
mons average fell to 1866, but he re-
tanned the league lead over Lew Fon-
SEGA, who got two out of four at Boston
and climbed to 1862.
Wesley Terrell checked a late Boston
rally In the game at the FenWay, and
Cleveland won by to 2. The Red Sox
outhit the invaders by IS to 9, but had
II men stranded.

Offices of the Yankees froze up all the
cash registers in the stadium, and Ed

Pirates Stop Braves.
The Pirates stopped the Braves By

homer with two on, and Lester Bell

where Stanford and Southern CaIl1or-
mia are concerned.
Eastern visitors at Delmonte got some
idea of what Western foot ball mate
rial was when they saw Herb Fle1-
shacker, one of Stanford's star backs,
acting as one of the marshals through
the tournament He was only 6 feet
3 inches and weighing only 215 pounds,
and when the rush came to help head
eff the multitude he was clearing 10

THE Middle West also expects to
i have one of its best years in the
way of intersection Juggling against the
East. No one figures Chicago with
much of q chance to beat Princeton,
but they believe Michigan will take
Harvard and that Illinois will stop
the Army. They also figure Notre
Dame good enough to stop both Navy
and Army, unless Rockne'S team Is too
badly battered up by the date of the
Army game.
Michigan, Illinois and Notre Dame
will carry as much strength as any
three teams one can name from any
section. They are strong in every de-
partment, equipped with speed. power
and experience. Rockne will have
something like 35 men in his squad,
and he will need most of them to use
as reserve forces before the season ends.
The Southern Challenge.
THE South is looking forward to
i three of its hardest intersectional
tests when Georgia Meets Yale, Georgia
Tech tackles Notre Dame and Florida
comes up to Harvard. Vanderbilt Also
moves against Minnesota, where Doc
Spears now looks to have too much
physical pressure to throw against the
Tennesseans. But Georgia, Georgia
Tech and Florida all have even chances.
or at least healthy chances, to break
through the Northern barrier. Georgia
Tech and Florida will have two of the
best backfield sets in foot ball. with

There has always been the chance
that Jack Sharkey would come back
and become the fighter he should have
been and could have been. But there
have been so many disappointing fights
that even his closest supporters have
about lost faith. Now he happens to
come to his last stand. If he loses
to Tommy Loughran he passes from
the picture as the man who might have
been champion, but wouldn't. Sharkey
will never beat Loughran with the
exhibitions he put up against Heeney,
Risko, De Kuh, Stribling and others.
He will need more stuff on the leather
than he has shown since his first
round against Dempsey.
There Is no reason why he shouldn't
have it If he can make up his mind
to shoot the works. When any one
asked Dempsey in the old days about
his chance to win he usually had one
line-'I don't know, but I'll do my
stuff" Maybe Sharkey has waited too
long to do the stuff he was once
capable of doing. But he doesn't
show any such slowing up or soften
ing in physical way. He still looks
to have all the physical turns needed.
Whether he will flash or fade depends
on the mental side, which only the
night of the Loughran fight can show

What They Can Show.

MORE than one somewhat dis
WI gruntled fight fan has written
in TO suggest the foolishness of COM
pairing Sharkey or Loughran with
Corbett, Jeffries, johnson, Dempsey or
Tunney. This part of the picture is
still up to Sharkey or Loughran. There
have been no supermen in the boxing
game. Either of these should have
enough qualifications to lift up the
present level. Whether they will or
not is another yarn. Possibly not, if
they go out with the idea of edging
through, or getting the shade. The
crowd doesn't pay money for the shade
but the shade is usually what it gets
just the same. And most of the present
crop of fighters seem to think as long
as the crowd is willing to pay for the
shade-why not slip it along? What
happens in the Sharkey-Loughran fight
may be rather important, as far as
gate receipts are concerned in other
contests. But even this is no predic-
ton for no one can predict how
much the populace at large will stand
for.

Girl Rescued From Gas Death
 Expresses Appreciation |.

Elsie kindt, 134 Columbia street, came 10 the police station last night, But she was not like most women who visit the station house, She was thankful, for Thursday morning New Britain policemen had saved her life, as well as the lives of her mother and two younger sis ters. Elsie came to thank the men for what they had done. .o
 In her hands was a box of cigars, They were a present, small token to Officers Gustave Hellberg and Michael Brophy for the work they had done when they broke into her. house and rescued the mother and her three daughters from an almost certain death.
 Elsie kindt could not be too grateful to the officers. She told Chief William C. Hart that she be- lieved the New Britain policemen the finest Tn the world, and - well, she just couldn't express her thanks, ,
 Drawn out by the officers, Miss kindt told of the events at her
 
 by an intense thirst. she said, she arose and started for the kitchen for a drink of water When she got up, she realized that she was ill At first she thought it must have been something she ate, for she was very dizzy. Arriving in the kitchen. she called for help, and then sank to the, floor. The glass which she had in her hands broke and her neck was slightly cut.
 Just before she lost consciousness she heard her mother get up to see what was the matter. Miss Kindt heard her mother stumble, and that is all she remembers. l.
 When summoned by neighbors. Officers Brophy and Hellberg found the doors of the house locked. Gain- ing entrance. they found Elsie. her two sisters, Martha and Edith, and the mother. Mrs. Otto kindt, uncon- scious on the floor Medical assis- tanCc was called.
 But when the officers at the police stationed opened the box of cigars last night there was another re- hinder of the Kindt family's thanks to them. Lying on the top of the box was a neat card reading: "A million thanks for each of you couldn't hope 10 express the thanks you deserve. Mrs. O. kindt."
