The score or so of newsboy contrib utors toward this token of their love for the "big feller.” who had yanked many of them from under taxicabs and defended them against the aggression of plutocratic limousines, stood in a close circle around their spokesman and the “cop” as the presentation was made. And surrounding them in turn clustered so big a crowd of applauding spectators that for once "Babe” Mc- Donald proved a decided hindrance in stead of a help to traffic. FANS MAY BUY MONUMENT TO GIVE TO NATIONALS WASHINGTON, June 15.—Politics, the great struggle between the Repub licans and Democrats and the coming presidential election, are being smoth ered by the wonderful record of the Nationals in the West. It has been years since baseball has created such a stir in business circles here as it is al most the first time in the history of the game that Washington has had a winning team. Enthused fans have started a sub scription to hold a celebration and welcome the team upon its arrival home Monday. It is planned to honor Manager Griffith and the players with a banquet on their return, while sev eral big business firms are considering presents for the athletes when they meet the Athletics Tuesday. Probably a record-breaking crowd will see the first game, as the fans have made a demand to President Noyes to put the reserved seats on sale.

LOOKOUT TEAM HURT BY DEARTH OF PITCHERS CHATTANOOGA, TENN.. June 15. The mishap which occurred to Harry Coveleskie when he sustained a slight hernia and was obliged to undergo an operation at the West-Ellis hospital of this city, has given Manager Billy Smith a problem which at the opening of the season he did not anticipate. The problem referred to Is a weakness in the hurling department, or rathef a dearth of pitchers. The enforced des uetude of the Hun’s arm left Smith hut three hurlers—Chappelle. More and Ware. Os this quartet only two — More and Chappelle -bad ever before played in Class A company, so it will he seen that the problem was even more serious than the numerical weak ness would indicate. In ar. effort to strengthen and keep the club in the race pending Coveles kie’s return, Smith has signed Farmer Allen, formerly of the Turtles. Alien's condition is a problem, but Smith will keep him at least until tne Pole's re turn. While Ware is in away a recruit in this league, coming here from the Southeastern, he is showing phenome nal form and his position is assured No-Rim-Cut Tires 10% Oversize Now the Reigning Tires Some 200,000 motor car owners have adopted this patent tire.

Richardson, D. C. Hillman. W. M. Mar. tin, Clyde Shropshire and Richard Lindsey. . All of these men are promi nent business men of Nashville and their support Insures a firm financial backing for the club. Mr. Aust, who took the franchise over temporarily with Daniel E. McGugin, will be elected president of the new club. Mr. McGugin will maintain no further interest in it. According to Mr. Aust, the manage ment of the new club will remain the same and backers will stand ready to make any changes necessary to get a winning team. None of the new Incorporators were in any way connected with the old club. Adolph Jacobsen, private secretary to President Kavanaugh of the Southern league, has been here for several days arranging for the reorganization. Mr. Aust stated today that no at tempt would be made to play Sunday ball under the new ownership. EVERY GULL WHO DRIVES IN RUN GETS ONE DOLLAR MOBILE. ALA., June 15. —Pinch base hit's are worth $1 each to Gull players. On the recent road trip of the club Manager Finn set a premium of $1 each <>n base hits which drove in runs, and as a result the treasury of the local club is minus $33. although th<- Gull leader is confident he has never spent $33 in a wiser manner in all his long baseball caieer. During one of the games in the early part of the road trip, one of the players went to the bat in a pinch. "Get a base hit and get a dollar," chirped the genial Gull chief as the player strode up to the plate. The player heard and responded with a smash that drove the runner in. He got his dollar. The rule has been in effect ever since and now Manager Finn carries silver dollars with him on the bench every day, and pays off on the spot. But the dollar for every player who drove in a run brought up complica tions, one of the players claiming a wheel when he scored a man on a "squeeze" bunt, and another demanding a caser for a sacrifice fly, on which a runner scored from third. Gus Gar denia, who.hit for three bases against the Barons Wednesday and scored when he made a flving leap into Third Baseman Almeida, causing him to muff the ball, also put in a claim for a dol lar, urging that he scored a run which was as good as driving in one. Inas much as there was no one on the paths he could drive in. Gus won the argu ment. J. CRAIG, STAR BACK.
