FROM THE DOPE BOX Tommy McCarthy, the Indiana pitch er, has been sold to Baltimore. Peoria closed a home series of 15 games, 11 of which were won, yester day. Sunny Jim Hackett is now with Jack sonville in the Katy league. He lost a game the other day to Selby, the for mer Bloomer. A Pittsburg scout was at Peoria Tuesday and it is said negotiated a deal by which one of the Distillers will shortly move up to faster comiany. James Curtin, former first baseman of the Dennison Tag company's team of the Commercial league of Chicago, has been signed to play the initial sack for the Davenport team. At a nietting of the directors of the American Baseball association in Chi cago yesterday. Umpire Clarence B. Owens was completely exonerated of the charge of placing bets on games in which he officiated. President Pulliam of the National league announces officially the suspen sion of Umpire Henry O'Day for viola tion of his contract and insubordina tion, and Joseph Ward of the Philadel phia club for violation of contract. Umpire Schuster who officiated in the Three-Eye league games this sea son was almost mobbed at Memphis yesterday. The attack on the umpire followed an alleged assault by Manager Smith of Atlanta, when Schuster call- d the game on account of darkness. The police disguised Schuster as an of- icer and spirited him to his hotel. Beldon Hill's wife and daughter are touring the circuit with the Rabbits on this trip and were forced to witness the old man ordered off the grounds by Um pire Wheelock at Peoria, on Monday Hill asked President Holland to go over and watch Wheelock work yester day. There must be something wrong if Beldon kicks. The Islanders make the same sort of complaint. Sunday, Aug. 12. the baseball aggre gation known as Green's Japanese, one of the few teams of that nationality on the road, will play with the Muscatine team at Moline. There is said to be nothing but Japs in the lineup and that they cari play ball is demonstrated by the record they have made against other amateur and semi-professional teams in this vicinity this season. Glen Llebhart, the former Rock Isl and pitcher, now known as the "iron man" of the Southern league, irom tne number of dou Die-headers he has pitch ed and won this season, yesterday dup licated his three former performances of the kind by defeating Shreveport 6 to 1 and 3 to 2. Several big league clubs are after him, but the Memphis management denies that he has been sold as yet. COLLINS KEEPS THE TITLE Western Tennis Champion Defeats Emerson of Cincinnati. Chicago.

OBLIGED TO TURN AND RUN How the Californian Wore Down the Famous Eastern Star. Sam isorger or &au rranciseo is tne present big noise in the heavyweight pugilistic arena. As for the reason well, every one knows It. Sam out fought "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien In Quakertown and Is now the foremost claimant for the classic throne left va cant when the unequaled Jim Jeffries took to the woods. Sam had the crafty, shifty O'Brien lad going four ways when the gong got busy in Philadelphia. Jack was all In his wind and strength were all out and Sam had the answer In both of his brawny mitts. And the Berger boy was only nn amateur a year ago too, Oh, sadness for the O'Brien clan! It had been popularly predicted that Jack O'Brien would wipe Sam off our lovely sphere. It had been said with wise and knowing smiles that O'Brien in making this match had simply de cided to make a little vacation money In the easiest manner possible. They likened Berger to a big "lemon," and they said that O'Brien's favorite sum mer drink was lemonade. When Berger made some stout speeches to the effect that if he ever got a chance at "Jumpln Jack" O'Brien he would make him look like a broken toy the speeches were not listened to with any patience. They said that Berger would think of the San Francisco earthquake as a mere trlfler after be bad fallen against the whirling gloves of the magical O'Brien I-r-nel II in Mn. r.ut wfteu trie six rounds ended Ber ger v as the bully boy. He had beaten O'Jirien. He had gone against the clever riugiuaster without any fear, without any nervousness. He had played the game with a stout heart Ho had taken the lightning jabs. He bad wilhstood the cruel hojks. He had not for one instant backed away from the fray, lie went pondemusly pounding away at O'Brien's face and at his body, and if he missed and got sharp, stinging blows for his pains he refused to bo at all discouraged or put out by them. He kept after O'Brien. He made O'Brien dance .his liveliest to keep out of h-irm's way. He was so persistent in his attack that there were tunes when the claimant of the heavyweight championship was obliged to turn tai and run like a rabbit to different parts of the ring. He made O'Brien hug. He made O'Brien use every trick that the old ring warrior knows how to use when the fire gets too fierce for safety and comfort. The fight Itself was a splendid one, Never did the seconds of any minute In any round drag. The men were at it constantly, and Berger's absolutely constant attack upon his shiftier oppo nent of great repute was what won the crowd's heart. O'Brien met the attacks with the best play of bands and feet that he has In his command, and a lightning fast and TCouderful boxer he really is. But It xras be only in the six rounds of su perb, supple and slashing savagery that ever asked for quarter. He did it now and then In the last swift segslon of the fight by turning his gloves back .of Merger's arms and holding until Ref eree Jack McGuigan a little scornfully would break the gloves away-" and free the big youthful Californian from the crablike clutch. A ROUNDUP OF SPORTING GOSSIP Designer Nat Herreshoff, the wizard of Bristol, R. I., will have two racing yachts in the trials to select rc;rcsenta tives of this country in the races with Germany In September. The craft are the Skiddoo and the Chewink VI. Both boats were completed a month ago and were sailed around Cape Cod, the Skid doo arriving at Marblehead two weeks before the Chewink VI. The latter was weather bound four days In Vineyard Haven, Mass., and when.ebe made the THE CBBWIKK Y trip around the cape she met with hard conditions of both sea and wind. Those who were on her say she behaved' well. The. races are to be fcieloV off Marble- head,' Hi Massachusetts tay. The Skiddoa has not yet started in n race, and in friendly try outs with some of the boats in her class she has fallen behind her rivals. Judged by ber going, she has certainly not performed as well as many prominent amateur yachts men believed she would. She Is owned by Herbert M. Sears, one of the best amateur patrons of the sport. The Chewink VI. is owned by Frank O. Macomhr, Jr., who is regarded as an excellent racing man. He has had plenty of experience -and is considered one of the best of the down east skip pers. The Chewink VI. since ber ar rival at Marblehead has leen tried out against the Sumatra, the Bonidrel and the Hayseed, and she outsailed them. She Is held in high esteem by the yachtsmen who have seen her perform, some of whom place her among the three boats which will meet the Ger mans. Michael II. Golden, now a sergeant of the Rockford (111.) police department, but once a big league pitcher, claims to be the originator of what is now known ns the spit ball, asserting he used the delivery twenty-seven years ago, al though he did not call it that. Golden says he threw the ball by wetting the Inside of his third finger on the right hand where he gripped the sphere. He often felt the effects of the ball in his shoulder for days after. Golden started with the famous For est Citys of Rockford. the team which developed Spalding, Barnes and Addy. He began his professional career with the Westerns of Keokuk, la., where he played In 1873 and 1874. The Keokuk club joined the American association in 1873 and went to pieces in July of that year. Golden finished the season with the Chicago team and the next year went to Indianapolis, where he played the season of 1870 and part of 1877, going from there to the Springfield (111.) club. It was while pitching for Spring field that Golden stumbled upon the spit ball. The next season Golden was with the tail end Milwaukee team of the Na tional league. His most noteworthy performance with that club was the striking out of fourteeu men of the Chicago team in a game whicli Mil waukee won, 10 to 2. Anson fanned twice. Pike throe times and Start three. In 1S70 Goiden returned to Rockford ;o play in the Northwest league. That wsoii marked his retirement from the can-.e with a strained ligament In his shoulder. He never returned to th irofessionnl ranks. Harry Hermann Is out on a wild hunt for pitchers for his Cincinnati club. Ho !et three pretty good ones go in Druhot, Overall and Dorner. Probably Her mann doesn't know a good pitcher when he sees one.
