"Would You Like to Have 2 Bicycle CRACK PITCHER IS TO REMAIN WITH TORONTO LEAFS. Without the Mork of Peddling ? Toronto for the Season and Must Allow Him to Remain Till Optional Period Expires, The New York Sun says: Urban Shocker, the spitballer, whom Bill Donovan sent to Toronto and who has been burning up the International League with pitching far too good * [for that circuit, capped the climax of a series of remarkable exhibitions yesterday with his no run no hit game against Rochester. It was the fourteenth victory for Shocker. He has lost only two games. Shocker could very well bé used by the Yankees now, if Toronto would only consent to take Cliff Markle. When Shocker was farmed out, the impression existed that he could be recalled on twenty-four hours' not- ice, It now appears that he was sent to Toronto for the season, and cannot be recalled until the optional period expires. -y Cyclemotor fits any bicycle, runs from 5 to 25 miles an - hour, 100 miles on 1 gal. of gasoline.

For several days the bookies have been instructing their regular patrons how to bet at Hawthorne. They were told to establish their credit in ad- money they wanted to wager and the day's programme. There were nearly 200 Pinkertons and deputy sheriffs, in charge of Sheriff Traeger 'himself, watching out for betting and to see that no money was passed. As one of the old-time bookies put it, there was no more betting in Chi- cago Saturday than on any other day. tion the same as they said. PHONE 454. THE SIMPLEST MONUMENT is better than none at all.

WEIGHT PUGILISTIC TITLE, He Has Fixed Too Many Restrictions --Worst Thing in Heavyweight Champions Since "Johnson Came Into Fame, Willard"s immediate, retirement appears more than a possibility now. One by one he is closing the doors that bar the way to future matches for himself. Probably the sole rea- son that he does not now retire is that this would effectually kill him as a drawing card for circus engage- ments. Here is the situation regarding Willard's fighting prospects: He has barred the negro fighters --they are many and dangerous. He has declared that he would never again fight Carl Morris, who is. coming back, He has refused to fight Dillon, be- cause he is too little. He has turned down a match with Fred Fulton, virtually the only re- maining giant "hope." With these deletions from the Mst of eligibles, who is there left for Wilard to confront? It is almost a sure thing that Willard will never get into the ring {for another finish fight; and it is probable that he will never fight any more bouts, unless they be 10-round, no decision affairs, against oppon- ents not deemed dangerous. Willard is about the worst thing in heavyweight champions we have had handed to us since Jack John- son came among us. Jack did take on certain finish fights, after he was declared world's title holder. Willard wants to quit after one lonely title struggle, in which he defeated a fat, middle-aged, over confident "coullud | pusson." These money champions!

Is Promised on the Grand Circuit For The present season promises to be «a memorable one for speed on the Grand Circuit, judging by the time 'hung up at Cleveland last week, and also in the Chamber of Commerce Stake yesterday at Detroit. The Beaver, the Winnipeg crack, made a sorry showing. in the C. of 'C., for {after finishing fifth the first heat, was distanced in the second.

Being Sought by Shawkey of the Am- erican League. Not content with winning his games with consistency, Bob Shaw- key is doing his best to create a new shut-out record for the American League. In his last five starts he has compiled four banks for the op- position, one each against Phila- delphia, Washington, Detroit and St. Louis. He completed his string yes- terday by holding the Browns to four scattered hits and allowing only one of the visitors to reach third base steps on the tory, even before the game starts. Should the Yanks win a pennant they can give a rousing vote of thanks to Shawkey, as he has now won twelve games for his team.
