Bobby looks the same as ever; a quiet, alert, sun-burned man, preserv- ing an athletic build with no tendencies to a bay window effect, and with very keen eyes set in the deep puckers that come from years of peering over a blaz ing diamond. r, Just looking around,' said Mr Gilks ysterday a she sat on the back of a bench in the smoker, looking over the Crackers at practice "I can't say any thing more specific except," he added, reflectively, "1 will say they5re awfully scarce.’ Mr. Gilks also was of the opinion that the desperately fine com-'ing the minor leagues were receiving this year would result more in bursting than broken hat ting and base-stealing records. He ex pects to remain here nearly all week, by the end of which his scouting will be over for the present sea.^-n. STARTS ON LONG SWIM NEW YORK, Aug 19.— Harry Elion k ky, 19. of New London.

McCarey, for the past ten years president of the Pacific A. C., is positive in his belief that Jeffries was “doped" when he . fought Jack Johnson. “Jeffries could walk right into the ring to-day and make a 100 per cent better showing than he did at Reno,” said McCarey to-day. "I was watching Jeffries when he came into the Reno arena. He lurched down the aisle like a drunken man, bumping his shoulder against the moving picture stand. At the ringside one of his best friends, Clar ence Berry, reached out to shake hands, but Jim didn’t appear to rec ognize him. * * * *<T AM suspicious of one man who * posed as an intimate friend of Jim’s prior to the fight. He bet heav ily on Johnson and after the thing was over he never even went to Jef fries to speak to him. and to my knowledge has never seen Jim since. “This fellow used to coax Jeffries a.way from the Monoa Springs train ing camp to go fishing. For hours he would keep Jim standing knee deep in the mountain streams and cause him to neglect his training. “I believe that Jeffries was the vic tim of a widespread plot. The man never had a chance. He was whipped before he could put up his hands. This was one of the worst blows ever dealt the boxing game and I would pay a good sum out of my own pock et to see the mystery cleared up.” * * • 'POM JONES, manager for Ad Wol- *■ gast and Jess Willard, is an other who believes that Jeffries was "doped." "Jeffries was drirgged. There is no other way to account /or his reeling about in the ring before the contest," says Jones. “Jeffries doesn’t care much about the matter now’, but his friends w’ould like to see the thing explained." OUTFIELDER LET OUT. KEOKUK, IOWA, Aug. 19. Outfielder Corkhill was released by Keokuk and Outfielder Bromley, formerly with Mus- satine, was signed. "BATTLING" NELSON DISPOSED OF. ROCKFORD. ILL. Aug. 19.—The Rockford (Wiseonsln-Illinois League) team to-day ordered the release of Catcher "Battling" Nelson. J OCK M’NEIL, the daring motor cycle racer, w’ho was thrown from his machine while travel ing at a speed of 80 miles an hour, is still unconscious at the Grady Hos pital. The attending physicians have little hope for his recovery. It was McNeil’s own carelessness that caused his fall. He reported at the track yesterday afternoon under the influence of liquor, and after much, wrangling w’lth the other riders he insisted on taking a whirl. He borrowed Morty Graves’ stock machine and immediately after start ing ascended to the white boards at the top of the track. The white boards are perpendicular and it takes a speed of at least 80 miles an hour to hold the machine. The first time around his motor broke through the boards in two places, but McNeil refused to come down. The next time around he rode right into one of the holes that he had smashed on his first trip, and was thrown 50 feet in the air. He came down face first. An ambulance was called and he was rushed to Grady Hospital. The extent of his injuries are: ST. LOUIS BOWLING TOURNEY TO START ON NOVEMBER 29 ST. LOUIS, MO..
