A new shortstop has been secured
to fill Baker’s place,.and is already
on the way to Join the Colts. The
new tnatvJs Ed. Hooper of the Trenton
team who is said to bo a fast In- j
fielder and one who will be of great i
help to the locals.
The now man comes through Hank t
. .Kamaey. who -Was appealed- to -Friday f
by Owner Bradley and happened to;
know of the man. Hooper Is highly i
recommended by Kamsey who had j
him with Altoona last year and says'
shat he l* capehjf infielder.
Baker also knows the player andi
aaya that Be Is sure to msgte a good
man. They were together with Al
io ona last sear, a wire was sent for
Hooper Friday afternoon and a reply
came stating that * he would start
Saturday and would arrive Saturday
night. h ewiil get here in time to
accompany the sguad to Roanoke tor 1

Baker left here on the I* o'clock I
train far hi# home in Baltimore where} .
Be will spend two weeks wtd\ hi* ‘ 1
people before having the operation#*
performed to remove hi# appendix. *
The little shortstop has decided to l'1
have the operation performed In1 ’
Richmond and will place himself f*J
the hands of the club physician. Dr. I
W. P. Mathews. The player has de- j ]
termlned to have the operation per- j 1
formed for the reason that he realise#'
he will never be able to play the game] ;
unlee# It Is done. j 1
Dr. Mathew# advised him thatfpe ]
would gain fifteen or twenty pound* l j
aa soon a# the appendix was removed i '
and this wa# a great inducement to j !
Baker who needs more weight to play
hi# beat game. ■
He will of course not get back In j 1
the game this season but he will be ; 1
in fine form nest spring and win] 1
doubtless be «pt "hand early for his ’
work out with the sound.
Ryan, the Norflk twfcier who has *

is playing under an assumed name
and he will have to make a change i '
in his cognomen when he Joins the j
Yankees. Thl# is not permitted If U 1
is known and the youngster has ban '
found out 1
It is not known why Ryan ts travel
ling under that name, his real name is ,
Schaub and he halls from Mt. St. 1
Joseph, of Baltimore, the same col- ]
lege that furnished Chester Stone to
the Colts this spring. *
Schaub was recognised her# Friday I
and his real' name was whipered i ]
around the local park. He Is a likely j 1
youngster and win give some of the! 1
veterans, a Bard time when ha lets i 1
himself out In big company. *
Wtano Clarks announced Friday
that he had decided to farm out one j
<>f his pitchers to a club in the Caro* 1
Una League and that Sheehan would '
be the man. The Skipper has been ;
above the player limit since Long John !
Fog joined the club and It Is necessary I
to let somebody go. 1
Sheehan Is a likely twlrler but
Clarke has no need of Ova on the
staff and the others are a little Bet- I

Ryan, Vance and Walsh are the other
three who will finish the eeaaon with '
the Tara and Clarke would not think
of letting one of them go at title time.
Clarke hae an optional contract for
Vance and he waa subject to recall by
the Johnstown club but the tlttte waa
up last night and he now belongs to
Norfolk- It waa a great deal that
gave the.twtrlar to Norfolk and Clarke
baa been congratulating hlmdelf ever

.he executive committee meet# again.
A meeting of th« committee was ex
pected to have been held Friday at
12 o'clock, but was called off for some
■eason and the final conference be
;ween the association officials and Mr.
rhotnas P. Jackson, repreaentative pf
Wright Brother*, was not held.
Mr. Jackson was expectin* a reply
Iroin hla headquarters to a telegram
isking If Walter Brookins would be
sent here to give the exhibitions at
the talr. The reply came, but was
difficult to interpret. It simply stated
that It would not be guaranteed that
Brookins would come. __
- It seems that The executive comimt
tee is determined to have Brookins
r»r nobody If the Wrights are to fur
nish the machine for the exhibitions
here. In the present status of the
case, other employees of Wrlgit
Brothers will not be acceptable, and
other reports to the contrary are In
correct.
f Tnon laasnln*
ntxntonta At" tha
telegram the committee .decided that
to meeting mi necessary, and the
legotoatlons, while not called off, are
.•ontlnued for the present.
The reason for the action ot the
ommlttee Is that they are determin
ed that there shall-'be no repetition of
ast year's trouble, when thousands
were disappointed by the ridiculous
performance* of Willard in a Curtiss
naebiue. A man of reputation, whose
.’orning will be a big advertisement for
the fair, is wanted, and if' Wright
Brothers cannot send him. be will
L-onu- through some other concern. .
This ta the present status of the esse
In the minds ot the committee, and
they have taken a positive, hand. Mr,
lacksou i« still In the city and Will
likely remain here until nest Tuesday,
when the committee .msPW;JtgWllC'.'llt
the meantime, it ms y J>e t,het he will
receive instructions from his princi
pals to sign up a contract guarantee
ing the presence «.f Brookins.
Others Being Considered. j
While Wright Bfhthers have been
rav.M-ably mtwldereil by the fair olfl
i-ials,’ they are not ttie only uvlators
who arc in the running, and some other
concern may yet heat them out for the
contract. ^ ■■
No less than five other Q<»eiMwm have

tract is Submitted by Wright Broth
other concerns will have'

get the best aviator that can be se
cured. and they do not care which oon
cern furnishes the rrfan. It is ex
pected that Wright Brothers will either
drop negotiations or elee come around
and agree to send Brookins- If the
holder of the “high flight record comes
here the flights this yesr will be as
sured of success, and this attraction as
a top-llner win be a big thing for the
fair.
Rasing Entries In.
.On August IS the lists of harness
races were completed and entrance
fees have been paid up for sixty en
tries. Sixty-three were signed up at
first and only three of these have
dropped out. The three classes of har
ness races were the l:YT. £. 18 apd
three-year and under trot.
U was required that 1 per cent, be
paid on June IS, 1 per -bent, on July
15 and 1 per cent, on August 15. The
remaining i per cent, to be paid on the
night preceding the race.
The privilege was granted for any
of the entries to drop out,at any time
without the payment of the next In
stallment. and the officials are well
pleased that only three of the origi
nal saw fit to drop out Sixty entries
insures good racing, and It is ex
pected that the harness races will
prove one of the moot interesting-feat
ures of the fair. ■'>
Added Purses Considered.
The fair officials are now consider
ing a change In the purees to be offer
ed for the running races, but have not
yet made any positive decision. They
have usually offered a: straight puree
og MOO for each race and required
entrance fees of <10. This fear they
may offer purses of 1*50 and have a
smaller entrance fee. It will amount
to tfte„siun« thing, so far as the asao
clatlon is concernsd, but will have the
effect of attracting more, entries and
making the races more Interesting
Booking Shews Daily.
Wahoo-Lane will be one of the chief
attractions at the fair this year, and
