Nothing definite lias be>'ii decided upon as regards Lave Cross and Larry Schlafly. but both of these men are tr> be released in a couple of days, ac1 [ iing to tiiis morning s reports. Manager million was a little warm under the collar this morning wlien seen by a Star reporter and asked for information in the Cross and Schlafly matter. He said: | "In the first place, the Washington club 1 loes not make a practice of releasing play- ers when injured, and at the present time Cross is in the hands of a physician with a badly sprained side. In the second place, I cannot release Cross without asking waivers from the other American League 'inns, antl x have certainly not sent out any request for waivers. "Th!! pro-mature publication of supposed news about my team puts me in bad, as it 1 prevents the making of trades. Take the l ise of Cross. Suppose I had a deal under \ way by which I could get a good man or j money for him. there is no manager living who wouldn't break off negotiations if he saw these notices, as ,ie naturally would be lleve that he could get Cross for nothing. If 1 could give a player his release outright without ask'-ng tlie other seven clubs In tlie American League th^re would be li tthlng t<> prevent l'r<iss from going to the National l.eague. which would be unfa r. Su h a proposition would have come in handy in the Hildebrand case, which is an apt illustration or the agreement. I'ross has signed a two years' contract | with the Washington club, and it is the ! sain-- as that signed bv the other players, no special clauses being in it. Of course, Cross is not like the ordinary player, as lie Is too well fixed to be forced into a trade that is distasteful to him: but up to I th- present time there is nothing on hand In the way of a trade or release in which I.ave figures. As to Schlafly being thrown out of the Washington club indiscriminately, the re- port is all bosh 'Schlaf is too good a player to be let go without getting a good r-lurn, and he is very handy to have around h.-ie as utility man. At the present time, also, there is nothing under way in which S lilatly figures » In the Kelley ca*e that player leaves < f.»r lies Moines this afternoon, and as his i couple of weeks here have cost the Wash- ington club several hundred dollars, I have J * derided to accept Third Bast-man Shlptke # in exchange for him. Shlptke will come on her.- for a trial, and If he doesn't make good I mn easily dispose of him for a K.nxl round sum." This is the reported releases of Cross and Si-hlatly boiled down to solid facts. Sensa- I tlon.il stuff has no place in The Star, and 11 when there is actual news to give out the readers of this paper will get it.

Ohio, but did not get an official mark for it. He also says that Ed Williamson, shortstop for the Chicagos years ago. had a great arm atid he put the ball 1X! yards 10V4 inches for the diamond medal at Cincinnati. Also it is doubtful if there is a man in the American league who can outrun Pat Dougherty for 100 or 220 yards. Jones says he will match him against anybody, even Bay of Cleveland included. "If you don't think Pat can run watch him cover ground iroing to lirst or when after a long fly. He tak-»s such strides that people who are watching him m v« r suspect that he is going at half the pace he really is." said the White Sox manager. Stone's Catch Saved Browns. PUII .ADEI.PT11 A. June 12..By a catch which will become historic. George Stone, left tieldcr of St. Louis, yesterday put tiic finishing touch on a 3 to t> victory for his team over the Athletics. Neither side had .-cured when the ninth inning began, but the Browns pushed three runners over the plate on two errors by Cross and one by Nichols and a couple of hits. The ! first run did not go over the plate until i Cross made a wild throw on a grounder « which should liuve retired the side. The score: St. I .on Is. R fl OA E' Athletics.

Hugh Jennings and his groat band of Tigers open a series of four games with the Nationals tomorrow. Case Patten will work for the locals this afternoon and Falkenberg will face the Tigers tomorrow. Sensationalism will get you nothing in 11 T. i - * l .w- .J.*.-., lfuh. a l i/iuj mi uo 3 me players up in the air, and the home team is the loser in the long run. The Nationals of New York were beaten in Chicago, but, as "Dick" Cooley used to say: "They got the money." 1 Might aa wall extend congratulations to Manager Frank Chance of the Chicago Nationals. Clarence Benumont of the Bostons has made more hits than any player in the National League. Fred Clarke and Barney Dreyfus please notice. Griffith says he Is ashamed to say what he thinks of the American League umpires. In this connection it might be interesting to know what the umpiTea i ii in n. ui ui J III ill. The Columbus team has taken the lead in the American Assoriation race, with Dirk Cnoley's Louisville boys carrying the target. ^ The Cincinnati Nktional League Club has sold Pitchers Essick and Kdward Mtnalian to the St. Paul American Association club. Lajoie seems to be working his sluggers in two sets. When he leads Bradley. Birmingham, Clarke and Hinchman in a batting lest. Flick. Stovall and Turner let up a bit. Then these three go in the next day and clean up. The final lines of the race in the league will be drawn later than ever this year. Most of the clubs have a long schedule of double-headers in front of them now on account of postponed games, and a few of these are apt to change the map when they bvgin to come off. Manager Rillie Murray of Lhe Phillies wants the waiver practice discontinued. Since he became leader of the Quakers Murray has tried to secure twenty-two players in whom waivers were asked and not one it them was sold. The woeful lack of hitting in the big eagues this season has resulted in the cry ?oing up once more that something should ie done to give the batsmen a half-way fair ^hance with the pitcher. Make the pitching listance longer: give the batsman his base jn three instead of. four balls, and cut out :he spit ball, are the favorite plans for helpng the batsman .Brooklyn Citizen. The poor showing of the Xew York Ameri- uns inus tar in uif struggle nt-iwceti luc (vestcrn and eastern clubs has been a derided surprise to those who follow the ;ame, for it was expected that Griffith's irray would make a strong stand. The Joughty manager has been insisting all ilong that he lias as tine a corps of pitches as there is in the American league, :>ut this has yet to be established by results. Did you ever watch I:ajoie's eyes as he alked to you? asks a writer in the De:roit News. They are sharp, piercing, dark 'yes, always restless. His gaze may be centred upon you and yet you eem to feel hat he can see at each side of him.may>e in Ijack of himsejf. As he talks those yes shoot over an\l around you, then hroueh vou. N'o. maybe he hasn't read k'ou. He is not a student of human nature, [t's just a way he lias of looking at every:hing with those eyes that for so many ('ears have very seldom failed him in folowing the course of the ball, regardless )f the cunning of the great pitchers lie has itood before.

The gross winnings of the racing stable of James R. Keene passed the $100,000 mark for the season of 11K>7 yesterday, when at the Gravesend track Peter Par. won the Standard stakes. The value of the race was $3,100 to the winner, which, added to the previous winnings of the Keene horses in the time since the New York turf year opened at Aqueduct April 13. made a total of $t01,04tt.2."i earned In loss than two months. The total is a record for the season on the American turf, and with so large a sum already to the credit of the Keene horses, and most of the valuable stakes still to be run for, it is well within the probabilities that the Keene stable may establish a new record for the turf in America. The largest individual winners of the Keene stable are sons of Mr. Keene's dead stallion. Commando, who was a son < the famous Domino. Peter Pan. thr< years old, by Commando-Cinderella, t Hermit, heads the list with $2S,10t> lo h credit. Colin, two years old, by Commandi Pastorella. by Springfield, is the secor horse, with $10,7<i0 to his account.

TRAP SHOOTING GETTING VERY POPULAR Trap shooting, a growing sport amoni shotgun shooters, owes much to the Inter state Association for the Promotion of Tra] Shooting, which has perfected the rules, or ganlzed the tournament, and assisted in thousand ways to raise It to its presen hi'gh level.

From that time Interest in traj shooting became general in the east. Thei It spread westward, and in 1902, when th grand American handicap was held at Kan sas City, Mo., there was an entry list of 493 with 430 actual starters. Last year the spor had practically captured eveVy section o the country, and four new handicaps wer arranged. The eastern handicap was heli at Philadelphia, the southern at Nashville Tf>nn. thp wpstprn at Dpnvpr rv»l and Pacific coast handicap at I>os Angeles, Cal All were successes In every way.

BARELY WINS OCEAN RACE. e t Ailsa Craig Finishes Sixteen Minutes Ahead of Idaho. * HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 12..The n two American power boats which started from New York i'atutday afternoon in a e | race to St. Da\ i \ s Head, at the entrance e j to ill" harbor, rrrlved here safely yester0 day after a vny rough and difficult pas.. sage. All aboard stood the vovare well ji | and wi-re 111 good health tind spirits, but <1 experienced discomforts that would not 1 i ommend the repetition of the contest to g them. They are especially elated, how# ever, at iia.ing completed tiie trip suct cessfully, and demonstrated what they A started out to prove, that safe cruising power boats could be built fitted for ocean y travi I. The Ailsa Oaig was the first boat to s finish, at riving at 9:59 o'clock yesterday j' morivng. The Idaho arrived last night at j ":IJ o'clock. Her finish was marked by the greatest excitement, because of the w nearness of the hour to the expiration of tho tptirratert time allowance. According to the ratinps of the two boats as measured before leaving New York. Ailsu Craig was lup^osea to allow Idaho eight hours and fifty-six minutes and thirty-eight sec>' onds. Tiiis allowance expired at 6:55:3S iaM night. Before that hour the Idaho was sighted OiY the harbor, $nd there was the liveliest speculation as to whether she would be able to rcath the line before the expiration of the time limit. As minute after minute passed and she approached closer | and closer the excitement grew, but at last the clock ticked off the minutes and her chance was loat. She line juat sixteen minutes late. s It Is. however, not positively determined that Jils allowance of time is corp reft. The computation was made on the basis of 650 miles, and there was some question as to whether this is the exact distance. Until this question is settlel * the result of *.h< race and the possession of the $1 000 Gordon Bennett trophy w'H e be in doubt. The two boats each carried a crjw of el??+!l men.

Nothing definite liasbe>'ii decided upon as regards Lave Crossand Larry Schlafly. but both of these menare tr> be released in a couple of days, ac1[ iing to tiiis morning s reports. Managermillion was a little warm under the collar

this morning wlien seen by a Star reporterand asked for information in the Cross andSchlafly matter. He said: |"In the first place, the Washington club 1loes not make a practice of releasing play-ers when injured, and at the present timeCross is in the hands of a physician witha badly sprained side. In the second place,I cannot release Cross without askingwaivers from the other American League'inns, antl x have certainly not sent outany request for waivers."Th!! pro-mature publication of supposed

news about my team puts me in bad, as it 1

prevents the making of trades. Take the lise of Cross. Suppose I had a deal under \

way by which I could get a good man or jmoney for him. there is no manager livingwho wouldn't break off negotiations if hesaw these notices, as ,ie naturally would belleve that he could get Cross for nothing.If 1 could give a player his release outrightwithout ask'-ng tlie other seven clubsIn tlie American League th^re would beli tthlng t<> prevent l'r<iss from going to theNational l.eague. which would be unfa r.Su h a proposition would have come inhandy in the Hildebrand case, which is anapt illustration or the agreement.

I'ross has signed a two years' contract |with the Washington club, and it is the !sain-- as that signed bv the other players,no special clauses being in it. Of course,Cross is not like the ordinary player, aslie Is too well fixed to be forced into atrade that is distasteful to him: but up to Ith- present time there is nothing on handIn the way of a trade or release in whichI.ave figures.

As to Schlafly being thrown out of theWashington club indiscriminately, the re-port is all bosh 'Schlaf is too good aplayer to be let go without getting a goodr-lurn, and he is very handy to have aroundh.-ie as utility man. At the present time,also, there is nothing under way in whichS lilatly figures »

In the Kelley ca*e that player leaves <f.»r lies Moines this afternoon, and as his icouple of weeks here have cost the Wash-ington club several hundred dollars, I have J *

derided to accept Third Bast-man Shlptke #in exchange for him. Shlptke will come onher.- for a trial, and If he doesn't makegood I mn easily dispose of him for aK.nxl round sum."This is the reported releases of Cross and

Si-hlatly boiled down to solid facts. Sensa- Itlon.il stuff has no place in The Star, and 11when there is actual news to give out thereaders of this paper will get it. IJames Delehanty, the new third baseman

Manager Frank Chance of the ChicagoNationals.

Clarence Benumont of the Bostons hasmade more hits than any player in theNational League. Fred Clarke and BarneyDreyfus please notice.

The final lines of the race in the leaguewill be drawn later than ever this year.Most of the clubs have a long scheduleof double-headers in front of them nowon account of postponed games, and a fewof these are apt to change the map whenthey bvgin to come off.

Manager Rillie Murray of Lhe Phillieswants the waiver practice discontinued.Since he became leader of the Quakers Murrayhas tried to secure twenty-two playersin whom waivers were asked and not oneit them was sold.

The woeful lack of hitting in the bigeagues this season has resulted in the cry?oing up once more that something shouldie done to give the batsmen a half-way fair^hance with the pitcher.

TRAP SHOOTINGGETTING VERY POPULAR

Trap shooting, a growing sport amonishotgun shooters, owes much to the Interstate Association for the Promotion of Tra]Shooting, which has perfected the rules, or

ganlzed the tournament, and assisted inthousand ways to raise It to its presenhi'gh level.Started In 1892, it had a pretty hard tlm<

up to the first grand American handicapwhich was held at Dexter Park. L. I., Aprl3 to 7. 1893. From that time Interest in trajshooting became general in the east. TheiIt spread westward, and in 1902, when thgrand American handicap was held at Kansas City, Mo., there was an entry list of 493with 430 actual starters. Last year the sporhad practically captured eveVy section othe country, and four new handicaps werarranged. The eastern handicap was heliat Philadelphia, the southern at NashvilleTf>nn. thp wpstprn at Dpnvpr rv»l andPacific coast handicap at I>os Angeles, CalAll were successes In every way.For the present year the board of director

are J. A. Haskell, president; W. F. Parkervice president: "A. C. Barrell, treasurer; TH. Keller, Charles Tatham, A. H. Durstoiand J. T. Skelley, with Elmer E. Shaner asecretary-manager.The i'nterstate tournaments for the cominj

The Ailsa Oaig was the first boat tos finish, at riving at 9:59 o'clock yesterdayj' morivng. The Idaho arrived last night atj ":IJ o'clock. Her finish was marked bythe greatest excitement, because of thew nearness of the hour to the expiration of

The appearance of the procession as It^wended its wuy from the. northern end of

McCoy Hall down Monument to Howard pstreet and thence to the Academy was onethat will not be readily forgotten by anobserver. The vari-colored hoods and S'><

ofgowns of the eminent professors, knownthroughout th * world for their investigationsIn the realm of science and philosophy, J?were in marked contrast with the sombergowns of the young graduates, whose Joy-. j°'ful countenances exhibited anything but a fsomber aspect. Almost every institutionof note throughout this country and Europe ?J,nwas represented In the colors of attire of f"rfthe faculty, while In the ranks of the grad-uitit-s were young men irom almost every *"

state of the Union who had come thi^ier **to enjoy, the rare educational 'traimng Jwhich the great Baltimore Institution laable to furnish.Upon a signal from the president ail *

caps were removed and the invocation wn ,offered by Rev. Dr. William H. Dunbar. cl"pastor of St. Mark's English Lutheran 5j,;Church. Directly following the prayer thelist of degrees was conferred by President lorRemsen. the candidates being introducedby Dean Edward H. Griffin, for the undergraduates;Prof. Joseph S. Ames, for thepostgraduates, and Dean Wm. H. Howell, _

for the medical students. Each spoke of *r<me great opporiunities that the young menliad enjoyed for the last several years andurged them to so employ their attainmentsand education that the world, as well as 4.they, might be the recipients of whatever todmeasure of success might attend them methroughout life.

The oration of the day on "The Poetic sheIdeal in Practical Life" was delivered by surAssociate Justice Wendell Phillips Staf- Sheford of Washington. The speeoti was never prolacking In Interest, and on several occa- decsions the speaker called forth applause shefrom his audience. He said: to"I am to say a few words.about the gospelof poetry. Not poetry in any narrowor technical sense, but the poetic prlnci- 1pie In human life. The sentiments that wiigive human life dignity and charm are in- thevariably poetic.
