NEWSBOYS GIVE BIG CUP
TO ATHLETE-POLICEMAN
NEW YORK, June 15.—" Babe” Mc-
Donald, the big traffic policeman, one
of the leading shot putters on the
American Olympic team, whose uplift
ed arm divides the vehicular stream at
Forty-third street and Broadway, re
ceived from the newsboys of Longacre
Square a huge silver loving cup The
presentation ceremony took place
alongside the Forty-third street sub
way kiosk.
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.
SECOND VARSITY FOURS

NEW LONDON, CONN . June 15. —

the past, the second varsity four-oared
teams representing Yale and Harvard
will race each other. The contest will
take place this afternoon, if the weather
permits, over the course one mile in
length.
A. A. C. GOLFERS PLAY

Morris is to have another fling at the
fighting game. Articles were signed
today for a fight here on July 4 be
tween Morris and Con Comiskey. of
Chicago. The latter has received much

by defeats at the hands of Jim Flynn
and Luther McCarthy This is Morris’
home town, and the fight Is expected to
attract widespread attention in this
part of the country..

POUGHKEEPSIE. N Y. June 15.

have to borrow a shell in which to race.

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

NEW GREW GETS

NASHVILLE, TENN., June 15.—The
Nashville baseball club will be reor
ganized today with the following in
corporators: John Aust, Charles B.
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.
