NEW YORK, Auk. 14.—Abo Attell •will post his $1,500 today for weight and appearance in hit* coming battle with Owen Moran, and then there will be no further doubt as to the mated going through. Moran's forfeit has been posted with W. H. Hicks, Jr., for the pust month, Charley Hartley, his manager, putting up tile money before he left for London to see the Olympic games. Just before Moran left for the coast he said: “We tried hard and waited quite a while for Attell to sign up for a finish fight, but had to finally yield to the 20-round affair. I would have hud a letter chance to knock him out in the long fight, but as it is i will beat him sure. He can't hurt me, aud I will jump at him from the start and fight him off his feet. Don't be sur prised to get a flash that he takes the full count before the twentieth round Is reached.’’ TODAY’S ENTRIES. AT SARATOGA.

OLD=TIME HERO WORSHIP IS OUT=DONE BY BOSTON BY PAUL H BRUSKE Centuries come aud go, man changes his customs, his modes of life and lib methods of recreation but he re mains essentially the same old hero worshipper he was in the days away back when he provided free board for life for the laurel-crowned winners of his Olympian games uml named his decade* for the victor iu his chief athletic event. The Olympian games do not mean as much to us as they did then. In their stead, however, the man of tin* present day uml age picks his hero from the arena of professional sport, as exemplified on the baseball diamond. THE ANCIENT GREEK WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TERMED OLD CY YOUNG A HIRELING AND WOULD HAVE REGARDED ANY DEMONSTRATION IN HIS HONOR AS A LUDICROUS FARCE. With more than u scant show of logic he would have contended that i Cy's presence ill Boston was merely la matter of wuge and that his services nITIlcoI TQ AMERICAN CAR NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—The arrival on Saturday of the Thomas car that won the New York to Paris race will be the occasion of a demonstration by New York motorists. Shuster, who brought the ear through und eventually won by a margin of 26 days, will be greeted by the Automo bile club of America, and Mr. Hurry S. Houpt. to whose energy and per severance must be credited the entry of the car in the first place, is urrang ing for a celebration on a big scale, to welcome the car. its drivers and passengers. In winning the race and bringing the American flag to victory. Shuster wins the prize of SI,OOO in geld, which Mr. J. Thompson generously offered at the farew’ell dinner, given at the Automobile elub of America before starting. The fact that the Thomas covered 12.112 miles In 112 days, eliminating tile distance and time covered on ship board and In the fruitless trip to Alas ka—makes this performance stand out pre-eminently as the biggest au tomobile performance of the year The Automobile club of America will meet Shuster, who arrives on Satur day morning on the French liner Lor raine, and escort him to the club.

Were the Hellene well up in base ball lore he would probably cite the fact that Youngs original presence 'on the Boston National league club i was an accident, solely determined bv a money consideration, and that his i present post of duty on the Boston American league aggregation wa» solely the result of a larger offer for his services. He might und prob ably worth! admire Cy for his gruce j ful process of growing old in the hur j ness, but would be utterly unable to rt gard him with any sentiment what ever. Not bi> the buM ball fan of Boston. 1 however. BY A PECULIAR MENTAL HO CUS-POCUS THE BOSTONIAN HAS TRANSFORMED CY FROM A HE’S SIAN INTO A PATRIOT. Over 18.000 I persons turned out yesterday to do him honor and contributed to a fund that is sure to reax. j Beyond the sh idow of a doubt, the large majority of those who contribut ed their half-dollars at the gate und in the form of cups and other trophlee, needed the money worse than the thrifty citizen of Ohio who, by a for tuitous chain of circumstances, toils during the summer months for a Bos ton employer.

Beyond a question, old Cy was touched. Why could he fail to be when a city hands hitn such a token of esteem? And yet it is about equally certain that th** most pleasurable sensation which ho received was the realisation of the swelling of the account In the Paoli Savings bank, or wherever the Young funds happen to be on deposit. And still there is no true fan j who grudges old Cy his testimo nlal. Cy is baseball personified in as near an approach to the ideal as the mercenary nature of his ser vices will permit He is the old est big-leaguer still on the active list of real stars His honesty is unquestioned His ability is ex celled by but a very few. He has never been a brawler His morals, so far as the general jublic knows, have never been impeached. He has given the Boston populace many a pleasant afternoon and few if any. opportunities for bitter recollection. He is pitching great ball at an age when most stars of the diamond are forced to the retirement of a saloon and case or worse yet In paying tribute to Young, Bos ton was unconsciously handing a testimonial to the great national form of recreation. AND THE ENTIRE AMERICAN “MAYBE I POCKE TED HlM,’’ COYLY ADMITS CARPENTER NEW YORK. Aug. 13.—John C. Carpenter, of Cornell university, who was disqualified In the 400-meter race at the recent Olympic games and 11 others of tho American athletes who contented, returned to New York to day on the White Star line steamship Majestic. Mr. Carpenter declared he would have won the event fairly if it had not been called off by the Judges, but he seemed to be of the opinion (hut the British were possessed of much more j tins, ol Cubs, lawnts Hotel Plan ol iaflif Umpires By HUGH FULLERTON. The Ingenuity of certain players in keeping after umpires and ragging them during the entire game la mar velous. Evers of the Chicago Cubs. Dahlen of the Doves, and Elberfeld jof the Highlanders, are particularly aggravating. And the umpires dread them xar more tnan they do the noisy ami abusive players like Ganzel of the Reds, McOraw of the Giants. Dan McGann and others. Evers has a way all his own. He never speaks directly to an umpire unless the um pire speaks to him, but he calls Tink er everything he can think of, abuses Stelnfeldt, yells at KUng— all for the benefit of the umpire. The umpire misses a strike Evers yells to Tinker: "Joe, did you think that was over?” "No.” Tinker replies, ”it w'a* high and outside.” "Whv, you blink blank bllnklfy blink, you’re blinder than another fellow I know.
