Philadelphia. Pa,. August 3. Felix Isman today announced the failure of the deal whereby the Philadelphia National league baseball club was to get Mike Donlln from the New York. Nationals in exchange for Outfielder Mageo of the local club. Mr. Isman announced that he had decided not to exercise his option for the purchase of an interest in the club. He said: ... . "I had an option on certain stock and would have purchased it if certain ideas of mine could have been carried out. My principal idea was to have Mike Donlin as captain, manage rand play
er. This included the deposing of Mr. Murray as manager. The proposition was to give Murray $7,500, a year's salary, for him to step down and out. The other owners could not see the matter In this light, and this afternoon I notified the parti&s to the negotiations that I would not buy the stock."

win the game, owing to the fact that they were playing under a different name and also that they were wearing their new uniforms. They were downed by the Grays by a score of 8 to 4. The game was played at the 1-fessvllle grounds. The Grays of Hammond were surprised to tiiid that they were to have a band, which made them a little nervous.

The national tennis doubles championships, held for the first time in Chicago, will begin today on the Onwentsia courts at Lake Forest. The tournament, which includes four teams,
is representative to a degree never liefore realized, the admission of a team from the Pacific coast making the event truly national. R. A. Holden and Trux Emerson of Cincinnati, who wrested the western championship from Nat Emerson and Henry Waidner at the tournament last week, are virtually the home players. The other teams are: A. S. Dabney and N. W. Niles, eastern champion?. M. F. McLoughlln and George James, Pacific coast champions. T. R. Pell and Wylie C. Grant, southern champions. WHITE DRAWS WITH LARSON

Louisville, August 3. Little more than an hour after Harry C. Pulllam, late president of the National league, lay beneath the green sward of Cave Hill cemetery, in this city, John Heydler of New York, secretary of the leagua, was chosen president in his place at a special meeting of the directors yesterday. There was some feeling, of which President Charles Murphy of the Chicago team was spokesman, that it was indelicate to name Mr. Pulllam's successor at this time, but the league's Immediate need of a qualified head was
set forth so powerfully that the magnates yielded. Besides electing Mr. Heydler, who is to fill Mr. Pulllam's unexpired term, the directors concerned themselves only with paying tribute to Mr. Pulllam's memory. They designated the remainder of his salary as president during 1909 to his estate, and they ap
pointed Garry Herrmann of Cincinnati, Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg and Mr. Murphy as a committee to select and have erected In Cave Hill a suitable monument to the deceased president. In addition to this, they provided that the players in the National league shall wear crepe for thirty days. "Squnrest of Men." The meeting was attended by four of the five league directors Murphy, Dreyfuss, Ebbets of Brooklyn and John Dovey of Boston. Garry Herrmann, the absentee, will reach Cincinnati today from the west. Though there was no set eulogy prepared by the committee, each magnate spoke of Mr. Pulllam as "the squarest man In baseball" and one who had wlelde da heightening Influence over
! baseball.
As this was a special meeting, It adlourned sine die. Dreyfuss, unable to

Terre Haute, Ind., August 3. The feet that the Shelburn Athletic club has made arrangements for a bout between Mike Schreck and Hugh McGann indicates that the club does not believe the exhibitions in Terre Haute will be stopped. The governor has said that he will "deal with the Terre Haute situation as he is dealing with the violation of the law elsewhere, through the Judge of the circuit court." The several boxing clubs have been told bylegal counsel In Terre Hants that as the law specifically permits ten-round boxing matches, the bouts cannot be stopped except on the ground that they are brutal and then only after brutality Is evident.

Cubs will beat the Pirates out for the
pennant and make the remarkable rec
ord of three world's championships In
a row.
Schlei s declaration of faith came about as the gang were discussing the news from Chicago that the Cubs had
hit the Phillies twice in the same place
on the same afternoon. "That is the team that will win the pennant yet." announced the German backstop. "We still have a chance and the Pirates are the logical favorites, hut the Cubs will nail the flag. You Just wait and see. "Here is a crowd of ball players who have been together for years, and there has never been a Jar In their ranks. None of them have begun to slip back in their work, and they have played together for so long that they can al
most get along without signals. Everv one of them knows what any of
the rest of them will do on pretty nearly any play.
They know the game forward and

BLOODY BATTLE AT NEW YORK
New York, August 3. "Sailor" Burke, the Brooklyn middleweight, battered Fred Iucas of New York into a helpless condition at the Bedford Athletic club in Brooklyn last night. The affair was too one-sided to be called a contest. Burke had Lucas on the floor when the bell rang at the end of the first round, which was cut five seconds short. Two more knockdowns followed in the second, and Lucas w-as tottering on the ropes when the referee

Sullivan's Men Have Six Games to Play in Three DaysPhiladelphia. Pa., August 3. The white sox open another continuous performance here today. The?- are to play six games in three days here, and from the way they went after the Athletics In that series back In Chicago and their speedy work In the three double-headers against the Washington senators last week. Connie Mack's men will have their hands full during the next three days.
Most of the sox players were "out
visiting" yesterday. They took ad
vantage of the o!T day to take a trip to Atlantic City, but they were back
at an early hour last night and In their
burks at the regular time, so as to
get In a full night's rest before the bat tie starts tonv.
That th- .x expect to do things to
the Athletics Is manifest in everything they say and do. There is plenty of
life and ginger and the players seem
anxious for the series with the Quak
er City lads to start. They expect to
win a majority of the games with the Athletics, but they all realize that they
will find in Mack's men the toughest
club in the eastern circuit.
Mack's team has heard the buzzing of the pennant bug and Is out to make
a' hard fight for the flag. The locals, however, will enter the series with the white sox minus their regular catchers. Both Thomas and Livingston are on the hospital list, and it will be up to Lapp, a youngster recently dug up by Manager Mack, to take up the work behind the hat. Lapp has done some excellent work so far, but should he be hurt the Athletics would be strictly up against a hard proposition for a catcher, for a few days at least.

Wagner, who limped from the game In the middle of the fourth inning Friday, after two strikes had been called on him, did not appear in the game Saturday, nor will he appear for some time, at least, according to his doctors, although Wagner hopes to be in the lineup today.

The sale of Fatima Cigarettes last year was double that of the year previous. In five years their sales have jumped from almost nothing to ever one hundred million a year and the demand is still growing. The reason for this popularity is found in their superior quality and unusual quantity, which make Fatima the greatest value ever offered in cigarettes.
