hard enough to win. Waddell was put

"DUMMY" TAYLOR LAUGHS.
Atchison Globe Relates an Interesting
Baseball Yarn.
"Dummy" Taylor, member of the
New York National league ball club,
who draws the salary of a congressman
for throwing slants, formerly pitched
for the Corn Carnival Colts, and was
"canned." He blames Roy Loman and
Rolla Mitchell for being let out; and
told W. D. Casey, who talked to him
in Chicago last week, that he would
never forgive them. "Where is Loman
playing now?" wrote Dummy on a blank
tab. Casey wrote in reply that he was
still playing in Atchison. "Still in Atchi
son," scribbled Taylor, t.s a smiie broke
over his face, and then he actually
laughed out loud. It was a laugh of
triumph, and seemed to say: "Still in
Atchison."
Back in 1S36 or 1S97, the Corn Carnival
Colts played at Winchester, Jefferson
county, and batted against Taylor's
speed and curves. Captain Charley Cole,
f unfailing judgment, when It came to
picking out ball players, said the Win
chester pitcher was a fitld. and that
Atchison should have him." -We had two
good twirlcrs at the time; but Taylor
was hired a'. $35 or $40 a month. It
certainly wasn't over $30. Dummy's first
appearance in the box here was not
auspicious. He lacked control, and the
fans didn't exactly "take" to him. Later
on they approved of Cole's Judgment,
but one day "Dummy" gave so many
passes to first that they demanded that
he be sent gack to the woods.
The writer was one of the dissatisfied,
an 1 he was an officer of the baseball as
sociation by reason of the fact that he
was good at begging money to pay the
deficiency in the finances, which was a
condition that had to be met monthly.
For that reason he had considerable
weight with the management, and has
always taken the blame of sending
Taylor on his way. He doesn't know
what Roy Loman had to do with it, but
recalls that Mitchell said something se
vere about the lunkheads that were
knocking on Taylor. But "Dummy"
didn't go back to the woods. He jump
ed from here to Terre Haute, without
a recommendation, and from Terre
Haute to the New York Giants. No
wonder he laughed. He is now married
and told Judge Casey that he would be
in Atchison next fall. Atchison Globe.
FANS PROUD OF LUMLEY.
At Bat and In the Field He Ranks
Among the Best.
New York. July 26. Since the re
turn of Harry ("Hi") Lumley and
Tim Jordan to the team, the Brooklyn
club has taken a fine brace and is
traveling along at a great rate.
Lumley was the chief factor in
Monday's game and the Brooklyn
ians are proua oi him. He made four
great catches, three hits and stole
three bases.
The young Brooklyn outfielder is
fourth among the National leagu
batters, with .335 per cent. Only
Donlin, Steinfeldt and Wagner are
ahead of "Hi" in percentage. He
leads the individual sluggers of the
league with eight home runs, eleven
triples and seven doubles. Up, to
date he has stolen twenty bases.
The Tri-State leaguers were after
Lumley recently. He .offered to sign
a three years' contract for $21,000
deposited in bank to his order. The
"outlaw" leaguers have not yet ac
cepted. WALKING AROUND THE WORLD.
Nicholas Georg-e, a Greek. Arrives In
Frisco From Australia.
San Francisco, July 26. Nicholas
George, a Greek and a pedestrian. 2 4
years of age, has arrived here from
Australia, en route to Budapest on a
walk around the world.
He must on this pedestrian trip walk
30,000 miles in three years and three
months, and at the end of that time
get a purse of $20,000 from the Inter
national Tourist club of Budapest.
He commenced his trip at Cairo,
Egypt, November 17, 1904. According
to his story he walks thirty miles a day
and that he has accomplished the dif
ferent stages is vouched for in a
diary by "all sort3 and conditions of
men." Among them were the Duke
of Connaught and the Emperor of
Abyssinia.
McCioskey's Rejuvenated Team.
SL Loui3, July 2 6. McCioskey goes
east with the best bunch of players he
has had charge of this year. The team
has been practically reorganized since
the season opened. Grady. Brown,
Beckley. Arndt and Holly are the only
members of last year's team still with
the club. McFarland, Thielman, Shan

McGraw Takes to Red-Bound Vol
umes In Hour of Baseball Trial.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 26. For the
first time in more than two years the
Giants are drinking of the dregs of
real defeat. In former days the
players quietly lounged around hotel
corridors with mysterious twinkles in
their eyes awaiting the climax of a
practical joke on one of their num
ber, usually "Dummy" Taylor. In
these fun-making plans McGraw was
the prime conspirator. The club was
known all over the circuit by bell
boys, cab drivers and hotel clerks for
its good-natured pranks. Until two
weeks ago the New York club was
like a college football team on the
road, bubbling over with good
natured fellowship.
The other night few guests knew
they were in the hotel. As quiet as
mice, they r,enrl the details of defeat
and quietiy went to their rooms.
There were no jokes: no player now
has to be on the lookout for a prac
tical Joke. They are morose. Even
McGraw, the Jolliest funmaker of
them all, has a touch of the blues. He
was In his room last night at 9 o'clock
reading a red-bound volume of his
tory. That has grown to be one of
McGraw's hobbies. He wouldn't give
a snap of his fingers for a love story,
but just hand him a book on the war
of the roses or any work bearing on
French or English past records and
he will devour It whole. Next to a
base hit. Little Mac loves history, a.nd
so long as he can't get the base hits
it's history for his.
McGraw was somewhat gloomy.
"You know," be said, "it looks like
here lately if there Is a right an a
wrong thing to do we pull off the
wrong one. The whole trouble with
the club, as I have said several times
before, is a scarcity of hitting. No
team ever managed ever struck such
a lasting slump."
PLAYERS DON'T I.IKE THE DEAL.
Phyle Not to Report at St. Louis and
Ian Not to Go to K. C
Kansas City, July 26. It is a question
among llie fans and wise heads whether
Tebeau or McCioskey profited the grreater
by the recent Pliyle-McBricle and Eagan
deal. Eagan lias absolutely refused to
join the Kansas City team and play ball
for Tebeau and so notified Manager Burke
both by wire ami telephone yesterday.
Phyle has just as absolutely retused to
join the Cardinals at the salary they
have offered and so notified Manager Mc
Cioskey yesterday, while George McBride,
the Cardinal shortstop, notified Burke
yesterday that lie would arrive in Kan
sas City this morning and report at the
grounds for this afternoon's game.
McCioskey and Tebeau are having a race
for First Baseman Messerly of the Lan
caster club. They both left St. Louis on
the same day, but ostensibly for different
localities. It has developed since that
they both bobbed up serenely in Lancas
ter about the same time and thev are
making medicine on the o. t. and evading
one another while trying to secure pri
vate, interviews with-the coveted player.
McGINNITY FORFEITS HIS $50.
President Suspends Pelts Pending an
Investigation.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 26. J. P. McGln
nity, pitcher for the National League
baseball team of New York, who was
arrested at Exposition park during the
game between the Pittsburg and New
York teams after a fistic encounter with
Catcher Peitz, of the Pittsburg club,
did not appear at Allegheny Central po
lice station and Magistrate Hadfield de
clared his deposit of $50 forfeited. The
charge against McGinnity was disorder
ly conduct.
Pittsburg, July 26. Peitz received
notice from President- Pulliam of sus
pension pending an investigation of the
affair. It is understood a similar notice
was sent to McGinnity. Peitz will leave
for New York to plead his case.
Hart Not to Go to Australia.
Louisville. Ky.. July 26. Marvin
Hart's trip to Australia, where he was
to fight Bill Squires, has been indefi
nitely postponed. Fever contracted
on Salt river, where he was working,
has affected Hart, and while his Ill
ness is not of a serious nature it is
sufficient to make him put off the date
of leaving indefinitely.
A Fight for Leavenworth.
Leaven worth, Kan., July 26. One
of the biggest fights ever arranged for
this portion of the country was that
closed in Kansas City last night when
Billy Rhodes and Tony Capon! signed
articles for a battle here on August 12
for a purse of $600 or a privilege of 60
per cent; 150 pounds at 3 o'clock.
Caponi at first held out on weight, but
Rhodes refused to give in absolutely,
although he is anxious for another
fight with the Italian.
The Winner a 100 to 1 Shot.
New York, July 26. The surprise of
the racing at Brighton Beach today was
the victory in the first race of the 100
o 1 shot, Nigger Mike, a 2-year-old colt
by Shapfel-Gertrude, owned by J. J.
Kenny. This colt has started a number
of times this year and has on nearly all
occasions been quoted at 100 to 1. Today
he was at one time 150 to 1. He had
to be ridden out to w-in by a head from
Lad of Langdon.

The following letter, written by
David Zearfoss to Manager Cooley last
Monday, explains the delay in the
popular catcher joining the team:
Mr. Dick Cooley: You will excuse
me for not writing you sooner than
this. I am sorry that my arm was
hurt by being hit by a pitched ball
when I was intending to leave and
join you on the next day. I was very
anxious to come back to your team
and It makes me feel bad to think of it.
My arm will be all right by the end of
the month, however. I am using- it
quite a little and will soon be in the
game for keeps. I suppose it will be
too late for me to come when my arm
gets all right. I hope you are still in
first place where I left you and that all
the boys are playing good ball for you.
I also hope that the flag will land in
Topeka this year. I will return you
the forty dollars which you sent for
my transportation. If you need me
later or after my arm sets back in
shape let me know and I will come.
Give my regards to all the boys and
wishing you good luck, I remain.
Very truly yours,
DAVID ZEARFOSS.
It is not known whether they will
send for the popular backstop when he
gets In shape or not, but this much Is
certain, that there is nothing the man
agement could do that would make
them more solid with the fans than to
get Zearfoss with the team again.
The Bonner Springs Chieftain is bub
bling over with talk about that game
which Leavenworth won 3 to 2 at the
conclusion of 12 innings. Zink told the
Bonner lads after the game that the
only difference between the teams was
that one was in the league and the
other was not, and it tickled the boys
nearly to death. Leavenworth Times.
According to the various papers over
the circuit the local scorekeepers are
doing all they can to help Warren Sea
baugh secure a tryout with the Chi
cago Nationals. No matter how Sea
baugh gets a base he is given credit
for a hit by the Springfield scorekeepers,
as all visiting players to the Midget
city testify.
Leav'enworth has sold Bill Rapps,
the noisy outfielder, to Wichita. He
played his last game with the Con
victs yesterday and left immediately
for Wichita.
President Rohr, of the Leavenworth
team, was with the team on its recent
trip trying to find out what has been
the matter with his team. While at
Oklahoma City the lineup of the team
was considerably changed but it did
not do much good. Kahl has been shift
ed to short and Rapps brought In from
the field to play the second station and
Johnson sent out in the field. The team
Is still putting up an amateur quality

of the game. The Convicts have a good
outfield but are ehy on good inflelders.
At the rate they are now going, they
will soon have Wichita beat out for the
cellar championship.
Long Tom Hughes still continues to
be the whole show at Atlanta. In the
game there last Monday he allowed
only two hits to the Shreveport team
and won his game with ease. He chop
ped six men and walked two. Out of
four times up he connected safely once.
Byrne last year with Springfield is play
ing short with the Shreveport team. At
lanta holds fourth place in the South
ern league standing, while Shreveport
is leading the league.
Newell, the young player who led
the defunct Shawnee, Ok., team with
the stick has been signed up by Wich
ita. The Wichita management seem to
be making a great effort to strengthen
tehir team. From, the new pitcher, won
his first game Tuesday against Hutch
inson by lining out a twobagger which
brought in the winning run.
Lawrence Milton, the erstwhile man
ager of the Wichita Jobbers, it is re
ported is trying to buy an interest in
the Webb City team. He was at one
time one of the best pitchers in this
league and is now a very valuable man
as a first baseman.
Since Leavenworth has struck a
losing streak and started down the
toboggan the papers of that burg are
no longer saying nice things about
their team. The following from the
Post Is in marked contrast to some
things printed about the team a
month ago: "Six errors Sunday and
six more Monday will help the fielding
average o the team down the hill
with more rapidity than necessary
It seems that the local team is doomed
to leave loopholes somewhere. Hard
ly does the batting eye return and
show signs of healing when the field
ing work goes to fragments, leaving
the team as badly off as ever. Bill
Zink, who has offended only on rare
occasions in the past, has lately begun
to boot the ball consecutively, and
Bob Kahl again seems to like to
play with the pellet when it comes
out his way."
Joplin News-Herald: "The Hutch
inson team is coming up the ladder at
a furious pace and has been playing
a great game of ball for the past
week. Out of the last ten games
played the team has lost only about
a couple of decisions, and all the
games have been very close. If the
team should be able to reach the .500
per cent, mark the other teams in the
race will have something to fear."
Word has been received in Topeka
that Arthur Pennell. the former
Wichita outfielder, has accepted
Cooley's terms and has left Wichita
to join the White Sox at Hutchinson.
Pennell is a fast fielder and is said
to have few equals in cutting off run
ners at the plate. He will probably
play one of the remaining Hutchinson
games.
Leavenworth has given Johnson,
the Kansas university phenomenon,
his release. Johnson got away well at
the start and at one time was leading
the Soldiers in batting. But he has
fallen from gracevand In the last few
games has made a miserable showing.
"Jack" Forrester Is now the leading
pitcher of the Toptka team. Forrester
has worked in twenty-three games and
has won sixteen of them . and .lost the
other seven. Forrester is one cf the best
pitchers of the association., having a
larger asosrtment of curves than any
of them and a good deal of. speed as

lose his head when things are going
wrong in his support. But he may yet
be leading the league before the season
is over. Mclnnis has won fifteen of the
twenty-five games he has pitched which
is a good record for a team which has
won but a few more than half of fhe
games. He is the steadiest of the bunch
and always uses his head. No wonder
Wichita was wUllngto give $1,200 for the
pair. None of the other pitchers have
done as well. Cravens during his so
journ with the locals broke even, losing
his first three and getting away with
the next three. Cravens however Is al
ways uncertain and after pitching win
ning ball is apt to lose his game by poor
fielding. Horton and Halla have won
one and lost one each. Halla is not yet
In shape and will probably have a long
string of victories before the season Is
over. Howey had bad luck all season.
He was not in shape but pitched a con
sistent game all the time but somehow
could not get away with his games. He
pitched ten games and lost eight of tha
number. He was the best fielding pitch
er in the league, and had as good a head
as any of them but luck wasn't with
him and he lost. He will by resting up
and taking care of himself become one
of the best pitchers In the league by
another year and the Cooleycrow man
agement would do well to keep an eye
on him. Isbell won four and lost four.
He pitched very erratic ball and would
sometimes show first class form. How
ever, later events in his Western As
sociation attest the wisdom of the man
agement in letting him go. Heuser and
Dammann each lost the only games
they pitched. With Mclnnis and For
rester both working In first class form
ana Halla fast rounding to and Horton
and Cheney to fall hack on it will not
be long until the tribe of Cooley will
hae a pitching staff that will make the
rest of them look like brush leaguers.
The teams that have been brought to
their present high standing by the
superb work of their twirlers are begln
'nlng to drop by the w-ayside as the pitch'
ers are mostly all in, but the Topeka
slab artists will be working when the
