COBB McINTYRE FEUD ENDED. DETROIT. Mich. For something Ilk,, two years Tv Cobb and Mstty Mclntyre, though teammates, hart not spoken to eneh other A little frou 4ile that came tip when Cobh joined the leant grew into a real breach, and the two outfielders got so that they would hav,. nothing to do yvlth each other and never spoke. This condition resulted in Sam Crawford's being converted Into a center fielder, Jennings putting him between the two other players to avoid mix ups on field plays. The *lwo men have realized for a long time that they have been acting foolishly, and both W. i-e anxious to get together, though each hHled to make the first advance. Mclntyre, while with Billy Rooks, ran across Cobh, and In a minute Rooks had them together and they shook hand* and forgot old differ ences.

BERLIN \ tract dv which In many way* remind* one of Tolstoy's "Kremrer Sonata'' is reported from Rrum, near Budape*t. Joseph 1.1 gal, a young man of 2d. belonging to a respected and well-to do family, wa* engaged to a young widow who was an enthusiastic mu sic lover and planlit, while IJzul had no ear for music. A few dgva ago Lizal's cousin, a Vienna violinist, arrived lu Brum to visit hi* relatives, and l.tzal Intro duced him to his fiancee, that she might hear him play. His playing captured the heart of the widow, and »li,. did not try to conceal her feeling*, until l.izal. mad ly Jealous, drew a revolver and shot them both dead He then tried to commit suicide, but was disarmed by the servants and arrested. He is now thought to be hopelessly Insane. Clark Griffiths who has been manager of the New York Americans, since the team was organized, thor oughly discouraged at the poor showing made by his team, has resigned. Here are two pictures of the famous New York man ager. Ex-manager of the New York Club of the American League, was born 38 years ago at Bloomington. 111., and while a youth had the distinction of being instruct 'd by Charley Rad bourne, one of the game's greatest, pitchers, in the fine points of twirl ing. He was with the St. Louts, Milwaukee and Boston American As soeiation teams before his career under Anson commenced. In 1901 he managed 'lie champion Chicago Club of the American League and In 19ft3, with President Comiskev's permis sion, took charge of (he New York Club of the American League, yvith which h, remained until the middle of this month, when he resigned in di gust at his team's poor showing, after n splendid start. Griffith plans to pass the rest of the year at his ; Montana ranch, hut will return to the game in 1909 either as a major j league manager or minor league mag nate. Hr ranks high among base ha’.l men as a leader. His New York team lost two pennants by a few percent age points. Boston winning out on lie last day of the 1904 race on a wild pitch by Chesbro.— Sporting Life. ( NEW HEAVER SIGNED BY MEANEY Charleston Fans Say that BUI Smith Passed Them a Juicy Lemon in the Viebahn Cummings Deal. PiTher Tom McCarthy, of Troy, N. Y.. will shortly join the Charleston te;un. He should be here either Mon rim or Tuesday, Manager Meaney said this morning, jack Elvers, Char lesion catcher of last year, has rec ommended McCarthy highly, and Meaney expects him to be a good man, But these recommendations are worth comparatively little. Charles ton started the season with players recommended highly, and they were in many cases worth nothing. It will In- a matter of trial to show whether Mr. McCarthy Is here with the goods or not. It is to be hoped that he is. To fill Viebahn's shoes takes a man of marked ability, and perhaps Me- Oarthy has the goods. Anyhow, hi* ticket has been sent on ami he la due early next week It would also appear, to remark In passing, that Billy Smith handed Manger Meaney a large lemon on the Cummins Viebahn deal Vlchahn ha* gone and Cummins has not reported, and probably will not do so. Meaney acted honest!) In the matter, but did Billy Smith do the right thing’ Echo and the fans answer, Nlt!—Charles ton Post GRANDSTAND COLLAPSED. INJURING TWENTY. NEW BEDFORD. Mass—Over ?n persons were Injured, some of them seriously, wheu the bleacher* at the Athletic ball grounds collapsed In the middle at 10:30 this mornln. SPORTITORIALS With Columbiba: Won one, lost one and tied two. With Charles tion: Won one. lost three. In other words tho summary of a week’s road trip i s lost four and won tvro. Considering the work of the club in the last three or four weeks, that is a glorious record for the Tour ists. Particularly, considering the fact that two of the men on the club during the week were amateur players, the result is nothing more than was expected. The Glorious Fourth turned out in-gloriously for the Tourists, who usually manages to break even, when two games are pulled off on the same day. The Gulls are now pretty firmly anchored In the fifth place, where they will probably stay for some time»to come, unless the addi tion of a new first sacker and a new catcher, will thrown a little pep per into the bunch, or change their luck. Two men were talking base bah Saturday afternoon. One was a loyal Tourists fan, the other a stranger in the city. The fan was telling of th *- hard luck encoun,e red by the aggregation this season. He also told now many individual stars w*re on the club in different positions. "Tell me where Augusta stands and I will tell you what kind of a team you have,” said the stranger. “At the bottom,” was the answer. “Well, then, you have the poorest team in'the league. Washington has a good team, which losing practically everv tame bv one or poss'bly two runs. They lose nearly- ali the time and will keep it up. They are off in some particular department of the game.” The Tourists are certainly off in some department. They couldn’t keep up such a losing streak. Luck goes a long way in base ball, as in most tvrry thing else, but really good base ball will win in the stretch. However, the club hasn’t really had a fair show under Busch’s management. They have been in a crippled condition. Carson out of the game most of the time. A first baseman shy, and Mullin hurt in three of the games. Also a shortened heaving staff. The race in the Southern seems to get closer as the season moves on I-oi l clubs are bunched with a few points of each, and the scrap promises to continue with about the same relative standing until the grand finale. Oh! That the Sally had a race on like that. Another wish. If there had only been a man on the sacks, or since wishes are order, a couple of men. when Cad Coles landed on the pillet and rent it over the Gull’s right field fence. Beckle’s game Saturday, when the mighty Foster, in his best form, was on the opposite slab, shows that there is something in the “Merry Widow” despite the fact that he can’t win for losing. The result of the Gans-Nelsou scrap shows what sand and perse verence can do in the prize-fighting line. Unmercifully beaten in his first scrap with the negro boxer. Battling stayed with him, taking a fearful amount of punishment, after almost any other fighter would havs taken to the count. The odds at ten to four again st his lasting twenty rounds and ten to one against his winning, he yvent in the fight with that same gaineness, which has characterized his work since he first entered the rings. Tne fight was all his after he second round. It can no longer be said that a negro is the world's champion in any class. The Tourists return to Warren Park Monday to open a week's en gagement. The first series is with the Warriors, while on Thursday Mullaney brings his terrible Scouts for three bouts. Of the six games all are hard ones, but if Augusta expects to ever get hack into run ning this seasln, she had better cop both series, for the next week they open in Jacksonville, with small chance of getting a game. Then to Savannah for three more. Twelve games hand running with the two best clubs in the league, means a hard tussle to keep in striking dis tance. BUOTHERN LEAGUE. W. L. Pet.
