At The Meadow.
Pat Morrlssey. a fast gelding now at
The Meadows and one of the best horses
on the track, was bought several year
ago for $66 at an auction in Kentucky.
He 1 now owned by T. Wellman, to
whom he was sold by Frank McMahon.
After he was bought for a mere sang
he won 40 races for his owner.
By a clever piece of work a sharper
nm within an ace of beating one of
the bookmakers at The Meadows out Of
1300 Saturday. The game was played
cleverly, but by a chance on which the
thieves had not figured, the game was
discovered. The trick was to be turned
on the Clancy book. It was during the
betting before the- fifth race that the
sharpers "framed up" their game.
Odds were J! to 1 on Blissful in the
race and it looked like a walk-in for E.
B. Smith's filly. Harry Klpp walked up
o the Clancy book and bet iioo on the
orse. His ticket called for xzoo to iuu.
a total Of IIOO. Tne UCKei given mi nany
Klpp was numbered 33. Just after he
had placed his net. tne snarper Dei z
on the horse. He was given ticket no.
864 at $4 to $2.
The sharpers changed the 4 to 2 mark
on their ticket very easily with a lead
pencil to 200 to 100 and then cut out the
figure "3" from the old ticket and pasted
it on their ticket in place of the figure
"4." The ticket was thus changed to
No, 363, from 884. and called for $300 if
Blissful won. It corresponded to the
bookmakers' books and under ordinary j
circumstances would have passed for a
genuine ticket.
Blissful won -the race and the sharper
who was attempting to beat the "bookie"
wa about the first in line to cash in.
S vassed up the ticket to Pat McMahon
w5 looked it over carefully as the bet
was comparatively , large. The ticket
had just passed Inspection and McMa
hon was putting It aside when his finger
caught, the pasted piece of cardboard.
The trlcic was then discovered and the
sharper refused payment on the ticket
The genuine ticket was presented and
paid a few seconds later. Nothing wa
done to the sharper who worked the
' trick. He wa nt known to the book-maker
and disappeared after the trick
had failed ttt work- ;v-

games with Pete Lohman's Oakland

game will be played at Oakland .and the
remainder of the game win ne piayea

team are not downcast over their hard
time of it, but feel hopeful of this
week's series,- The absence of Andrews
and Schmeer from the ranks has beeu
keenly felt, as it compelled the team to
shift around considerably. By taking
four games from Oakland and then re
turning home with a fuU team to meet
Seattle a week from today, me jurowns
will not be so badly off. Vigneux has
not been well on the trip and Hess has

count of the week's games with. Oak
land will be published daily for the ben
efit of The Journal's readers.
Jack O'Connell has it in for Nadeau,
the hard-hitting outfielder on the Port
land team. Ills antipathy dates from o
game that was played, at Seattle last
week. When Nadeau came to bat Jack
was calling off the balls and strikes be
hind the pitcher, who happened to b
Jay Hughes. The latter floated up a
high fact one. which was pie for Na
deau, who met the ball on the nose.
O'Connell heard the ball coming and he
dropped in his tracks, and as he went
down he felt the suspender buttons fly
from their moorings. Fortunately he
left In an embarrassing predicament.

Highest in World,
For the eighth time In 12 years the
British open golf championship ha been
won by an English player. Since 1882
when the competition extended from
t( to 72 hole, the blue ribbon of the
professional golfing world has been won
but three times by the son of old
Scotia.
The preponderance of victories in
favor of the men from across the border
1 doubtless a matter of chagrin to the
men who fostered the sport. The brief
ray of sunshine caused by the victories
of James Braid and Alexander Herd In
1(01 and last year respectively ha dis
appeared, and the Scotcnman Is again
Ih eclipse.
Oreateat Living ayr.
Harry Vardon' victory at Prestwlck
Isst week, when he won the champion
ship with a score of 300. the lowest ever
recorded In the big event, proved con
clusively he is the greatest of living
golfers. This distinction has been
claimed for him by many of the critics.
and, while many veteran players still
harp on the skill of the famous players
of a generation ago, the experts of the
present generation are willing to believe
finer player than the Incomparable
Harry never swung a club. True, his
feat of winning the championship four
times Was equaled by Tom Morris. Sr.,
and Tom Morris. Jr.. but their successes
were scored at shorter routes and under
conditions that were scarcely as strenu
ous as the championship ordeals of the
present day.
While Harry Vardon won from such
experts as Braid, Taylor and Herd by
fair-sized margins, he finished only a
few strokes ahead of his younger
brother, Tom. Judging from the per
formance of the latter, the rest of the
experts will for the next few years have
all their work cut out to keep the cham
pionship away from the Vardon family.
One lesson from the tournament Just
concluded would appear to be that medal
play events with the right kind of con
testants are not so uninteresting as
they are sometimes painted by the ad
vocates of the all-match system.

tending to enter the University next

Yost haa talked with about, entering

players, yet half a dozen altogether was
the limit of Michigan's haul. Some one
else wrote more effective letters to the
others.-. j
It is said that Yost ha secured a half
back to take Hernsteln's place, and that
this half is as big as Maddock. the

SAD ENDING OF A
BASEBALL DEVOTEE
George Gallegher Dies While in
Delirium Over His ra
vorite Game,
There Is general satisfaction among
the admirers of the gridiron game over
the changes In the football rules Just an
nounced by Walter Camp of Yale. The
experts all agree that the amended rules
will make the game a more open one;
that Is to say, there are sure to be more
spectacular runs by the bucks than has
been the case In many years. The two
most Important amendments to the
rules are a follpwa:
Between the two 25-yard lines, which
Is generally known as the center field,
seven men shall be kept In the line;
within the 26-yard lines, toward the
goals, the old formations nre not forbid
den. Between the 25-yard lines. In cen
ter field, the quarterback ran run with
the ball, provided he crosses the line at
least five yards from where the ball is
put In play.
The fact that seven men will have to
be on the line In center field will, of
course, do away with the so-called mass
plays, the guards-back. tarkles-la k and
ends-back formations, while the ball Is
In that region. This rule will make It
necessary for a lime to develop a set of
fast-running backs and IItip plunges ana
end runs will be the main charartfrlstlcs
of the game between the 25-yard lines.
Mass Flay Bear Ooal.
Inside the 26-yand linen the old style
of play csn be used, and that Is when
the mass formations will be seen. Thus
the new rules have made It possible for
both styles of play to be seen In the
same game, and this will doubtless lead
to amendments that will eventually per
fect the game till there is no longer sny
Improvement possible.
The fact that the quarterback can now
run with the ball between the 25-yard
lines will lead to the invention of a
great many fake plays. As the quarter
back cannot cross tiie line any nearer
than five yardB from where the ball Is
pnt In play, lie is not likely to carry the
ball very often. All his runs will have
to be directed at the ends, and, being
so close to the line, he Is not apt to get
far before being downed. By a remark
ably quick play he might' be Jammed
through a crack between the end and
tackle, providing they are further than
five yards from the center.
Therefore, when the quarterback does
start with the leather under his arm. It
Is more likely to be a fake run than any
real intention of getting around the end.
Owing to this fact, some very Interesting
plays in which the quarterback and hair
back will figure can be looked ror.
Will Benefit Small College.
Under these rulea the smaller colleges
are likely to be the gainers, while the
heavy teams, such as Kale and Harvard
have been putting in the neid or late
years, are bound to lose some advantage
they formerly had, unless they can de
velop a light and fast back neia ajra
a heavy line. Jtieavy men urnina inc
line would be too slow for trick plsys
and spectacular end runs.
There are several minor changes in
the rules likely to be of great benefit to
the same. Hard leather harness nss
been abolished, thus doing away with
one of the main causes of Injuries, and
the team scored on will hereafter have
the choice of kicking off or taking the
defense after each touchdown.
Another good rule Is that in future the
linesmen will have to relieve the um
pire of a little responsibility by looking
out for off-side plays, it nas always
been Impossible for the umpire to catch
every oft-side play, with the result that
some teams have not been overparticular
in observing the off-side rules.
Everything considered, the new rules
are likely to make the game very differ
ent from what it has been ih the past,
and lovers of the great fall pastime
will look forward with deep Interest to
the first important match under the new
style of playv .
The famous ''gridiron will no more
be the Joy of the football writer, for
the field will look like a checkerboard
next fall. The new rule concerning
where the quarterback shall hit the line
will make It necessary to draw lines
lengthwise as well as sidewiso on the
field.

NEW YORK, June 23. "Throw ft
home. Put it to him. That s It. How s
that?''
In a wild delirium on his deathbed,
George Gallegher. 23 years old, of West
New York. N. J., passed .an orange
back and forth to a group of friends,
believing that he was engaged" in his fa
vorite sport of baseball. Struggling to
keep back their tears, the friends in
dulged his fancy until Gallegher was too
weak any longer to toss the orange, and
fell back upon his pillow and tiled.
Overstudy and a kick received in a
football game a year ago were the di
rect causes of death according to tne
doctors. Had he lived. Gallegher would
have been graduated from the mechan
ical engineering class at Cooper Insti
