Hew York Papers rraise Local uoy ror his
Big League Debut
(By Wagner.) '
Kay Keating ol this city made hi?
first appearance In a New XorK
American uniform yesterday at St.
Louis. 1 He twirled for the Yankees
in the'hinth after Warshop had been
taken out for a pinch hitter. Keating
passed the first man to face him and
then struck out three in succession.
The Xew York Press says: "McCon
nell hatted for Warhop In the eighth,
and Bay Keating, the much adver
tised twirling' phenom from Law
rence. Mass., made his big league de
but with New York in the second half
of this frame. If the inning Keating
pitched may be taken as a sample of
his work, he will soon set the league
on fire. He was nervous at the start
and walked Austin. Keating then
showed that he has something when
he fanned Wallace. Alexander and
Allison in a row. The crowd cheered
the youngster heartily after he got
away with this stunt."
Umpire Red Held was around bid
ding t?ie boys goodbye after yester
day's game. He and Tom Crook
shook hands. "No hard feelings?"
ssketf Temi "Not-j bit, "t declared the
umpiiSev-'- And o the actors in that
big rumpus at Newfleld early in the
season buried, the'hatchet . Held says
he has enjoyed his experience in the
Connecticut league. He likes the or
ganization and is a strong booster for
President O'Rourke. "The folks out
in my home town, St- Louis, think
highly of Mr. O'Rourke. They told
me I would never regret working for
him and I never have," saya Held.
There was a nut who blew in from
the Dog's Nest in Waterbury and en
tertained the fans at Newfleld yester
day. - He bawled out the Bridgeport
players until the kids started throw
ing -peanuts at him. Lemmy Lemieux,
the Waterbury catcher, hid behind
the stand and dropped a few, missiles
on the bug.
There will be a double header at
Sea Breeze Sunday when the crack
Hartford team will ring down the cur
tain on the season. Johnny Barron
Bd Pick Tuckey will probably work
for Bridgeport. Wilson and Powers
are booked to labor for the Senators;

OLDRING AND
CHIEF BEHDER TO
BE TRADED SOON
To be suspended, fined and - finally
;anned altogether- is the fate which
Connie Mark, the merciless leader of
the Philadelphia Athletics, has meted
out to a couple of his star players,
Rubr Oldring and Chief Bender.
It has been common gossip for
months that the showing of the Ath
letics this season, good enough for any
ordinary team, but only fair for the
Quakers, has been due In main to the
Indifference of the players to the mat
ter pf . training. Bender and Oldring
have been among the ring-leaders in
the dissipation bouts, and several days
ago they were fined by Cornelius and
sent home- to finish the season without
pay.
Now Mack declares that neither of
the two shall ever play on a ball club
again of which he is the manager. As
it will be a chilly day in August when
Connie slings up his job, it koks like
the peerless pitcher and star outfielder
f the Philadelphia clan will find oth
?r banking quarters hereafter.
Both Bender and Oldring- are swell
ball players beyond a doubt. Bender
has been with the Athletics for nine
years, and his passing will be in the
nature of a calamity to the Quakjer
fans. He practically hurled his team
to a pennant a few years, ago, and
still has a lot of stuff in his good right
arm.
Rube Oldring is touted as one of the
classiest outfielders in the American
organisation. He is a grand fielder,
And, although this season has been an
off year for him, he still packs the
pill at ., regular gait.
What "Will be done with the two de-tiSuieiits-is
still a matter of conjec
ture. As Mack is rather short on
catchers at present- and long on his
ote-' positions, it is likely that he w.ili

Hancock was the Springfield pitcher.
Holyoke took a 3 to 2 game from
Hartford. Salmon and Ehman were
the Holyoke hurlers. Powers worked
for Hartford.
Manager Hugh Jennings and Oscar
Vitt of Detroit have been suspended
by President Johnson for their kick
ing at Umpire Connelly's decisions
when somebody threw a bottle at the
ump.
President Farrell of the New York
State' league, .has .decided that- Utica;
is entitled to-' the5- pennant,' which- it
won- .last Sunday. Walkes-Barre
claimed that one game of. lastSun
day's' double- header' should nct' be
counted- because ITtica ha,d nc post
poned game with Syracuse. The
president -ruled that there- was a post
poned game. ,;
It is said that Al Ketehell of this
city,, will fight Tommy Carey in Provi
dence, -September 24. The bout will
be for 15 rounds.
Bresnaihan has an alibi if anybody
accuses him of handing anything to
the. Giants in the pennant race.
By winning one game of a double
header from the St. Louis Cardinals,
the Giants stand 10 1-2 games ahead,
today. Jeff Tcsroau won his 6th con
secutive game. ' - 7

SETTLE IN ARIZONA.
Lewis Tewanima, the noted long dis
tance runner of Carlisle Indian school,
has quit athletics. It was announced
yesterday ithat he will quit Carlisle

farm in Arizona.
The redakin says he intends to be

ing too hard he will opn a tailoring
establishment in the Far West.
Tewanima was one of the best In

He won hundreds of races and hung
up several American records.

In honor of the big Jewish holiday,
Rosh Hashanah, Owner Jim Murphy
of -the Spuds wore his green tie as he
took tickets at Newfleld yesterday.
Senor Cabrera of Havana, Napoleon
Lemfeux of Fawtucket, R. I., and
Mike Brennan of parts unknown all
celebrated the holiday. The Mechanics
celebrated by throwing the Spuds by
1 to 0 in a ten inning game.
Sam McLean, ' the - Glastonbury rent
collector, had his Salome ball working
fine. They call- it the Salome ball be
cause -there is nothing on it. Never
theless, as Harry Quinn would say,
the Mechanics couldn't hit 'em where
they ain't. Six saife blows were all
they struck and one was a. Christmas
present for Chief Snyder. - This was
the poke that broke up the party.
Tom Crook had doubled to right
with two down in 'the tenth when Sny
der hoisted one as high as the Singer
building. Pop Nichols was away back
near the' fence, waiting- for a long fly
but he came tearing in. Jake Warner
was in a better position to make the
catch but he stopped as he saw Nich
ols advancing and the result was that
the baJl dropped safe. Crook scored
'the winning run. Sam McLean, who
had worked his head off, was so sore
that he yanked off -his glove and
threw it on the bench. Owner Jim
Murphy counted 1,000 before he - said
anything.
Dick Tuckey went in there and
handed up a nifty article. Although
mauled for nine hits, he wae good in
the pinches. The only time he was in
danger was in the sixth when Harvey
Russell threw Jack Hoey out at the
plaite after Cabrera's single to center.
Tuckey fanned two and iwalked the
same number.
Skipper Kley was- kidded by the
bleaeherites but the former Mechanic
robbed Bob Stow of a triple by a
great catch in the fourth. Tom Crook
pulled down a foul after a long run
in the tenth.. The score:

LOCOS TO MAKE
TRIP TO NEW YORK
PENXAJfT WINNING TEAM WILL
BE GIVEN BIG TIME AS GUESTS
OF FACTORY MANAGE
MENT. Tomorrow morning the Locomobile
team, . winners of the , Industrial
League pennant, will journey to New
York for their outing. The 'manage
ment (Mr. E.F. Russell) of the Loco
mobile Co. has spared no expense.
There will be two seven passenger
"Locomobiles to meet the team at
the Grand Central. They will then
go to the Locomobile Co. of New York
city where they will be" the guests of
Mr. I. E. Plummer, manager of the
Lcomobile offices in New York. After
having gone through the factory there
they will then have lunch. Then they
will see the sights in the big city in
automobiles, then to the big game
where they will endeavor to get a
few points from McGraw's men for
next season, then they "will again have
lunch, as they do not believe in starv
ing Then to the Hippodrome. After
the Hippodrome they will have a big
dinner. It being too late to journey
home they will stay over and come
home Sunday.
Those-who will make the trip are
the following: E. F. Russell, factory
managerj&George Stone, Manager W.
K. Lundberg, Capt. Jack Lousky, Fin7

and last but not least. Mascot Ray
mond Tierney.
WILL GIVE WHITE SOX
RECEIPTS IF THEY WIN
Last evening Manager Moran of the
East Bridgeport team, in order to
show that he means business said that
he would give the White Sox the full
gate receipts if they won and would
divide equally if his team won. He
says that he will show the public that
it is not his fault that the two teams
have not been able to arrange a
game. Certainly after hia team de
feated the Colonials, a team with wins
over the White Sox and the West
erns, it sounds funny to see these two
teams playing for the championship.
Moran is not claiming that his win
over this team is any proof that they
are better than the White Sox, but he
is anxious to try conclusions on the
diamond.
He says that Manager McGuire
does not care to risk everything on
one game and will therefore challenge
him for a series of three, the first to
be played at Newfleld Park, Saturday,
Sept. 21, and the winner to have the
choice of the grounds for the second
game. Certainly this is giving . no
team any favor and it is now up to
McGuire to accept.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES
C. Walling Murphy is one unlucky
guy. St. Louis and Pittsburg, the
two chief conspirators in the plot to
elevate the Giants to the champion
ship, the Polo Grounders have won
24 games while losing 14. From Cin
cinnati, Boston, -Philadelphia and
Brooklyn, whose .owners or managers
have all been close to Murphy in times
past, the McGraw forces have won
W, or not less than 29 from any two
of them.
The magnates and managers who
have always been friendliest toward
Murphy are the folks from whom Mc
Graw has won most of his games this
year Among them they have tum
bled the champs all of 14 times. Why,
oh, why, should mortal be gifted with
such vocal powers as Murphy only to
have his own people furnish all the
opposing argument.
Horace Fogel is having a fine young
time of it. The Giants practically
clinched their pennant last week at
the expense of the Phillies and now
the Pirates, thirsting for second place
are making the same Quakers step
ping stones toward the position now
held by the Cub.
Now" they say there is "a blood feud
on between the Cubs and Pirates. It
is related that Chance and his as
sistant alibiers so far forgot them

hea ring of a flock of Cardinals who,
remembering that the greatest living
claimants had once applied the same
endearing epithets to the St. Louis
outfit, promptly told the Pirates about
it.
So Pittsburg is on Chicago's hip,
threatening all sorts of things if the
Cubs do not come through right quick
with an apology. Las time the two
clubs hooked up the Pirates, who had
lost four out of five to the Giants,
walloping the Cubs two out of three,
incidentally killing the last pennant
hopes of the hardest losers the Na
tional League has ever had to put up
with.
Wilbert Robinson, on the strength
of two winning efforts in the foot-racing
line, now speaks of ."me and Ty
Cobb." A year and a half ago Rob
by tore off Charley Hansel, demon
umpire, and Wednesday he took a
short handicap from Roger Bresnahan
and beat the Duke of St. Louis in a
mad rush to the clubhouse.
Ten days ago it looked as though
Toronto had the International League
pennant practically won. But that
Rochester crew has stuck close to the
job and is to-day only two games out
of the lead.
Hank OTMy must be forgetting him self.
In an interview he says: "If I
had had first-class pitchers, the team j
would have been ahead of the Cubs
.75
of $20
Instead of $25
now. But we wouldn't have had a
chance to beat out the Giants, because
McGraw's men have too much class.'
"A little more of that sort of thing,
and Hank is liable to hear some harsh
words from Murphy and Chance.
There is better than an even-chance
that the - White Sox will train in Tex
as again next spring. Comiskey, who
likes the coast, thought of taking his
outfit to Riverside, CaL, but it has
been learned that the park he intend
ed to use was donated to the city with
the provision that only school teams
use it fo rbaseball and that influential
citizens are opposed to turning it over
to professionals.
The Sox will not return to Waco,
but Callahan still thinks well of Tex
as, even if he did run into a lot of
bad weather there last spring. Sever
al towns in central and southern
Texas are anxious to entertain big
league clubs in the spring time and
one may land.
