SHARKEY AND WIFE ILL TO THE MUSTARD’ » NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Thomas J. Sharkey begs to announce that he and his wife are about to become recon ciled. Mr. Sharkey is a gentleman who ac quired distinction through the momen tum with which he was able to propel his closed hands against the persons of sundry other gentlemen. Subse quent to that attainment he became host at a place of rendezvous on East Fourteenth street, making a specialty of beverages. Members of Mr. Sharkey’s clubs were pained to learn that Mr. Sharkey’s wife had caused him to be served with pa pers in a suit for separation, alleging treatment unbecoming in one who oc cupied Mr. Sharkey’s station. It was whispered that inasmuch as Mr. Sharkey’s profits approximate the sum of $l5O daily, Mrs. Sharkey would urge upon the court the advisability of conceding her an alimony of S2OO week ly pending the final disposition of the matter at issue. Friends who called to commiserate with Mr. Sharkey were relieved, how ever, to perceive that Mr. Sharkey was preserving Iris customary sunny loqua city. and a deduction that the status quo had been ameliorated was support ed by the following observations from the genial host: "Take it from me, bo, I se» t my law yer. and it’s going to be all to the mus tard between her and I. Them family bust-ups will happen now and then. She flew the coop, being peeved, but don’t believe I ever handed her a bunch of fives. Nit! We’ll be reconciled, all right, all right. It’s on the house, boys; what’s everybody’s?" ENGLAND PLANS~TO~WIN NEXT OLYMPIC MEET LONDON. Aug. 2. —England has de termined to wrest the athletic suprema cy of the world from the United States, and a movement is now in full swing to have the British empire represented by a team of the finest and best trained athletes at the Olympic games in Ber lin in 1916. A resolution adopted by the Athletic Advisory club last night for raising a fund of $125,000 to be devoted to the training of athletes for the next Olym piad met with enthusiastic approval throughout all English sporting circles today, and the amount will easily be doubled or trebled if it is deemed nec essary. Offers of parks tor training purposes are pouring in on the committee, and names of promising athletes are being received in every mail. One comes from the London county council, which ten ders the use of all the city parks for training purposes. Lord Desbrough, who presided at last night’s meeting of the Advisory club, declared today that the first essential to success was a plan whereby the pick of the athletes of the whole empire would compWe as a British team in stead of being split up into colonial teams whose victories added nothing to a national total, as was the case at Stockholm. MIKE MURPHY, VETERAN TRAINER. MAY RETIRE NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Mike Mur phey. veteran trainer .of American ath letes and who handled the Yankees in the Olympic games, is hearing the call of retirement and from an authorita tive source it was learned today that he will quit as a teacher. Mike is far from strong and the strain on his vitality has been too great. It is an old story, of course, that he. is to retir.e, but it comes this time backed by the hint that another form of activity has made Its appeal to l)im, one that would be profitable and would not be of such a tiring order. The new enterprise that is being talked of for Mike will be one that will keep him very much in the public eye should he finally decide to undertake it, and. while not exactly athletics, is akin to that sort of work. “If It’s at Hartman’s, It’s Correct’’ August Cut Prices Straw Hats x Price $3.50 Oxfords, now. .$2,95 $4.00 Oxfords, now. .$3.15 $5.00 Oxfords, now. .$3.85 $6.00 Oxfords, now. $4.35 UNDERWEAR PRICES.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—ls Bom bardier Wells should get an other crack at Al Palzer, he would knock the lowan’s block off. If he should meet Jack Johnson in a ten-rounder in this town, as seems not entirely improbable, he would make the nigger go some and. in our judgment, would stand a good chance of outpointing him. But, before either of these matches can be. made, the British heavy weight champion will pit his strength and cleverness against Joe Jeannette, and over the limited dis tance he should prove an A No. 1 bet. Odds —probably about 3 to 2 on Jeannette, and you will find yours truly tipping all his friends to take the white man’s end of the figures. The date for the Wells-- Jeannette bout probably will be Immediately after his visit to Eng land, which is to be a shore one. But, getting back to the original thing we set out to expostulate upon, it is the line that leads to our conclusion that Wells Is a bet ter man that Palzer. that he can lick the giant. Wells made a mistake in tactics when he met Palzer. He jumped into the fray from the clang of the gong with intent upon stretching his opponent on the canvas in the briefest possi ble space of time. During the very first round he banged Palzer almost into insensibility with his fierce rushing attack. He had Palzer's right eye almost closed and twice had dropped the big fellow for the count of nine. Such a smashing attack never had been witnessed among heavyweights in a New York ring. The second round found Wells still after the lowa farmer at top speed and landing blow upon blow upon blow with fearful impact. Palzar’s tremendous size, strength anti grit alone kept him from jour neying to Slumberland. But he came back for more and assimilated his trouncing as though it were an enjoyable meal. But the awful pace had snapped Wells' strength. He began to tire. He never had rushed so furiously in all his life, he told me after the scrap, and the effort told on him. He had not expected to go more than a couple of rounds at that speed—no man could. The crowd could see that he had planned to make his bid for fame in the first part of the fight with a rapid knockout that would dazzle all America. Wells figured to get his man early. With these tactics, if he could not get him early, he would not get him at all. and he knew it. As soon as he felt himself tiring. Wells said afterward, he knew the jig was up. At the end of the second round Palzer began his rally and dropped Wells for a short count. ATTELL READY FOR BOUT WITH MURPHY TOMORROW SAN FRANCISCO. CAL., Aug. 2.—Abe Attell is ready for his 20-rourid battle with Tommy Murphy, the New York light weight who defeated him some months ago. The pair come together tomorrow before Jimmy Coffroth's Eighth street arena and there is every indication that one of the hardest and most bitter fights of years will be waged. That defeat at the hands of Murphy has been sticking in Atteil's eraw and he wants revenge. Abe says it’s do or die with him and no inercv 'will be shown the Easterner. It is Abe's plan to hike Eastward al most immediately following the tight. He has set Sunday for his .departure from here. It is and has been known for a long time that the former featherweight champion is not fond of long battles. Now that the ban is off in New York, he hopes to get into action there. Frankly, Attell believes that if he rushes East he might get Wolgast in a ten-round affair in Gotham. ORTH DECLARES~A BALK AND PHILLIES WIN OUT PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 2.—Philadel phia owed its victory over St. Louis yesterday. 4 to 3, to an odd incident which occurred in the fifth inning-. With the bases filled and one out. Manager Bresnahan Jumped from the visitors’ bench, gave a yell and ran toward the home plate. Sallee, who was in the act of pitching the ball to S. Magee, stepped off the rubber. The home team's claim of a balk was allowed by Umpire Orth. Killifer scoring and the other run ners moving up. CLEANS OUT WHOLE CLUB. NEWARK, OHIO, Aug. 2. —Franklin Warren, formerly of this city, but now of Chicago, who is financing the local Ohio State league team, has given Bar ry McCormick carte blanche to change the entire personnel of the club on account of dissipation, indifference and dissatisfaction among the players. Me. Cormi'ck already has started partially carrying out the orders. Players re placed will not be released, but sus pended for the balance of the season. LOOKOUTS RELEASE HAMILTON. CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Aug 2. Outfielder Hamilton, the Notre Dame college star, has been released by the local club. He was generally too light for Southern league ball. 111E AILAVtAUEUKU2AA AAI>A E VV S. FKI DAY. AU G UST 2, 1912. However, at the close of the period Wells had a tremendous lead on points. Palzer was terribly mauled. But he had not exerted himself anything like the amount that the Englishman had. Palzer could not expend as much energy in the same space of time even if he should try to. As the third round opened Wells tried his same fast, boring assault, but he was all in, while Palzer was practically fresh, so far as muscles were concerned, and a few moments sufficed for the knockout punch to come across. Clevir Against Kennedy. Now, a week ago, we saw Wells fight a different sort of fight. He was against the man known as the cleverest heavyweight boxer seen in New York since Corbett—none other than Tom Kennedy. Wells fought a fight after Kennedy’s own heart. He stood away and boxed, cutting his man into ribbons with long lefts that lacked the force of the. ones that struck Palzer, but possessed the qualities that cut up and pain a man, draw his blood and leave him weak a while later. They were typical Packey McFarlands on a bigger scale. In every round Wells’ lead on points grew, and by the time the eighth round had arrived he figured that Kennedy was beaten to the proper point. Then he stepped in and made his bid for a knockout. Bang! And down went Kennedy for a nine count. Up he got, and bang again! Both blows were triphammer right swings, delivered with all the force at the Englishman’s command. He had taken time to set himself, measure his man and place all the weight of his body behind them. This second time Kennedy’s head was saved from striking the floor by the ropes. They supported him around the shoulders. He lay limp while Referee Joh began to drone the count. Then came whizzing the sponge from Kennedy’s corner that proclaimed him a badly beaten man. Will Outbox Palzer and Win. This second kind of fight is the sort that Wells will hand Palzer if they meet again. He has learned the lesson that Palzer is one man that can not be beaten at his own style of game—by Wells. The Brit on confessed to me his policy in the past. It was to learn the other man's general style and go to him in that very way. thus taking him by surprise. But it wouldn't work with Palzer, and Wells admits the fact now. He will fight a stay-away com bat next time, if there is a next time. He will pepper Palzer to shreds with that sinister left—that left that comes from below, from the outside, from the inside, from aboVe. from behind; that left that can not be stopped, that lands with squareness on the spot intended; that left that will win for him the victory. TAFT CONGRATULATES INDIAN JIM THORPE WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—President Taft has made public a letter he sent, tp James Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian school student, who was victorious in the Olympic games at Stockholm. The president said: "I have much pleasure in congratulating you on ac count of your noteworthy victory at the Olympic games in Stockholm. Your performance was one of which you may well be proud.

MILWAI’KEE, WIS., Aug. 2.—Ralph Capron, former Brewer and former Minnesota football star, who is in Mil waukee awaiting instructions from the management of the Pittsburg baseball club, had a narrow escape from death here. While driving along in an auto mobile he ran into the ditch on the Blue Mound road, and as the car was turned over the front wheel broke, slid ing it down a small embankment and saving the. lives of the occupants.

PA., Aug. 2.—Connie Mack, njanager of the Athletics, is of the belief that unless the Athletics win twelve out of the next sixteen games they will be out of the American league pennant race. “I will not give up hope until the last ray has disappeared, he continued. ‘‘The general run of American league teams this year is twice if not three times as strong as last year, and while this alone has not kept the Athletics from the lead, it is one of the principal causes.” COBB STEALS SECOND, THIRD AND HOME IN ROW DETROIT.

He stole second on the third strike on Crawford, and kept right on to third, A minute later be dashed for home, and Williams drop ped the ball, but Connolly called him out. Connolly later reversed his deci sion, after consulting with Umpire Hart, and Cobb got credit for three stolen bases in one inning.

Frank Dobson will be in charge of tile luckless South Carolina Tigers, as usual.
