YANKS SPEND FORTUNE
IN STRENGTHENING CLUB
NEW "YORK, July 15.- Though cursed
with possibly the worst team in the two
major leagues. Frank J. Farrell, the mag
nate of rhe New York Highlanders, is
not sitting down and crying about it.
He is spending good money trying to
gather a bunch of players capable of hold
ing their own in the American league.
Already he has tied up $25,000 to corral
half a dozen shining minor league lights.
Maloney and Dowd, two of the five from
the Brockton club, of the New England
league, have joined the Yankees. Dowd
was too costly for the bush leaguers, but
was snapped up by Scout Irwin Davis,
the crack Williams college pitcher, just
signed, now begins drawing $5,000. though
he has never twirled a game in the big
show.
Keating, the New England league twirl
er, cost the Highlanders $7,000. and he
will not join them until September. He
is said to be sure of making good.
Thompson, the University of Georgia
twirler, has yet to show what he has.
Sterrett. Princeton's catcher, is the best
of al! the youngsters pressed into serv
ice by Manager Wolverton: indeed, the
only one earning his salary. He is cer
tain to be retained.
REMINGTON SHELLS AND
GUNS USED BY YANKEES
Supremo in a majority of the main
events so far reached in the Olympic
games at Stockholm, the American
team was most notably triumphant in
Its magnificent clean up of the shooting
competitions.
Against a formidable field of experts
picked from the nations of the world,
the Y’ankee marksmen uphold our rep
utation as a nation of crack shots in a
manner to make glad the heart of every
American.
In clay pigeon shooting, an increas
ingly popular sport, requiring quick
ness and steadiness of hand and eye,
the American tram was consistently
victorious. In the team contest the
Americans, five high men shooting
Remington-I’MC American made shells
"killed" 532 birds out of a possible 600,
taking the first place. The English
team was second, with a score of 511.
The Germans took third, scoring 510.
The world’s individual championship
was won by J R. Graham, of the Chi
cago Athletic association, who. with <i
Remington-I’MC pump gun and Rem
mgton-UMC steel-lined shells, brought
down 96 birds out of a possible 190.
Mr. Graham also made the best indi
vidual score in the team competition.
In an interview after the competition
Mr. Graham attributed a great portion
of' his' success to the easy action and
reliability of the arm used and tn the
speed and accuracy of the American
made ammunition.
Another Yankee marksman. A. P.
Lane, was prominent in the cablegrams
as the maker of a new world’s record
in the revolver and pistol competitions.

which were regarded as easy for the
