SHARKEY AND
WIFE 'ILL TO
IMUff
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 ptace 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 pendinsr 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 his 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»/ 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 KIRWIN
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.
OU : ' parks for training purposes
are k in on the committee, and
names 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, y
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 compete 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 retire, but it comes this time
backed by the hint that another form
of activity has made its appeal "to him,
one that would be profitable and wouldi
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.

CRACKERS LOSE FIRST
By Percy 11. Whiting.
PONCE DE LEON BALL PARK, Aug.
2.—The Crackers and the Barons met here
in a death grapple for the first game.
And the Barons won
Becker and Smith were the opposing
hurlers, and the duel they put up was a
thing of beauty, even if it was not a Joy
to the loser. To pitch and lose such
a game was the penultimate limit of hard
luck.
Up to the sixth inning. Becker did not
allow’ a Baron to reach first. But in the
sixth three hits and an error gave them
a run. In their half of the seventh the
Barons ran across two more on a single,
two passes, an infield out and a wild pitch.
The secret of the Barons' success was
displayed in this game. They were air
tight when it came to blocking men off
home plate. Smith was not unduly wild,
but he allowed passes, which immediate
ly became’deaths when the steal was at
tempted. The marvelous defense of the
Barons was in w’orking order at all times
and under all circumstances.

ATTELL READY FOR BOUT
WITH MURPHY TOMORROW
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.. Aug. 2.—Abe
Attell is ready for his 20-round 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 Attell’s craw and he wants revenge.
Abe savs it's do or die with him and no
merev will be shown the Easterner.
It is Abe's plan to hike Eastward al
most immediately following the fight. 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.

Mack, manager of the Athletics, is of the
’ belief that unless the Athletics win twelve
; out of the next sixteen games they will
he out of the American league pennant

, ray has disappeared.” he continued. “The
I general run of American league teams

strong as last year, and while this alone
! has not kept the Athletics from the lead.
; it is one of the principal causes,”

“Pat’’ Patterson, star player of the
Tech football team last year, will be

for the Clemsonites to frame up a
strong defense against. Tech and pos
sibly make the Thanksgiving dav game
a better affair.
