Manager Who Will Retire JAMES MCALEER, MANAGER ST. LOUIS. Another old timer will soon disappear from active participation in the grand old game of base ball.

All that was left of the baseball season for 1909 was peacefully placed In the archives of Tri-State history at Columbia park on Saturday, when the Beauts repeated the dose of the day previous and sent. the Harrisburg Disappointments away with another beating tied to them. The score was Altoona, Harrisburg, 3. Lowering skies had the effect of keeping down the attendance and the smallest crowd on record, here, was on hand to see the benediction of the old season pronounced. The game was really good.

was a battle of the mound kings, Hock and Steele, and the latter was the victor because he was a superior power in the tight places. Hoch was punched where stung and the lead that the Beauts jumped into in the initial period was overcome, although it was equalled in the seventh inning, when, by a run of smiling luck, the Disappointments tied it up. But the Beauts went right to the front again in the succeeding period and were not headed. Harrisburg was good in the ninth round, but they did not start soon enough and were easily rounded up. The game was featured by the base running of Ayres, the fleet-footed one purloining five bases and was robbed of a steal home in the third, when Tiemeier struck at a ball to help him out in his theft.

At the beginning Ayres was hit by a pitched ball and stole second. Wotetll walked and with Ayres manipulated the double steal. Tiemeier clubbed the sphere for two sacks and scored his pals. The Senators tied it after a runless stage of six innings. Sullivan singled and Hoch sacrificed.

Anthony, flied out to Ayres. Jacobs Irvine missed Owen's third strike and lost the ball. Thomas singled and Hooper. made a sensational stop back second base, Sullivan scoring. Jacobs was caught between third and home, but Irvin dropped the ball and the HAPPY SAN CIGAR Roses' Pennant Will be Floated CEREMONIES WILL BE HELD AT THIS AFTERNOON'S GAME WITH TRENTON Lancaster's first pennant in twelve years, the victory, SO gallantly won in the Tristate race by Marty Hogan and his men, is made the occasion of a big celebration this afternoon at Rossmere park, when the Red Roses Trenton in the last game of the season.

Ayres closed the season in a blaze of glory and proved that he is the greatest player who has worn an Altoona uniform.

Baker nipped a batting rally in the ninth inning when he cleaned up an ugly bounder that had been turned loose by Joe Myers. Tim Irvine will need coaching before he can become a dependable catcher. What the local citizen needs to do is nerve himself for the pinch, and then he will come fast. Ayers reached first base on his last time at bat by hitting and the exhibition that he gave of scuring without a hit behind him only emphasized his great ability as a player. It fell to the lot of Ayres to pilfer the last base.

He stole second and tallied when the panic stricken Disappointments threw the ball all around the infield in attempting to cut him down. If the New York Americans cannot use Mike Wotell let us hope that he may be seen in our midst in the capacity of manager. Mike is an excellent leader and the results that the club showed this year were due to him. Ayres stole second and third bases, and then the home plate in the fifth inning, but as there were two hands down and two strikes on Tiemeter, the latter steal did not count for anything, "Tie' was out on a called third strike. Harvey Teal gave a near-Fred-Tenny reedition of performing the initalsack trick.

Pauxtis joined the Rhinelanders here early on Saturday morning and it necessitated the playing of the pitcher on the first base and Irvine was hooked up in the pad. Pitcher McNeeley, who was a member of the Beauts in 1905, declares that in Cy Farrell the Joliet lad. who has been signed for 1910, the Altoona team secures one of, the fastest young player in the country and that he will be a sensation. It was through McNeeley's recomendation that the Altoona team hurried and picked him up. Issues Warrant for Cobb's Arrest TIGERS' FIELDER CHARGED WITH ASSAULT MAKES AN ELUSIVE ESCAPE.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. Cobb, the sensational outfielder of the Detroit Americans, might have spent the night or at least a few hours in the local police coop but for the cunning A of Manager Hughey issued Jennings, warrant was rest of Cobb, charging assault and battery at the instance of the night watchman of the Hotel Euclid, where the Tigers put up while in this city. According to the story, Cobb got mixed in his dates as to which floor he belonged on, and when he encountered the watchman at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, that worthy wantto know and wherefore's as to what he was doing. Hot words were exchanged and the were soon at it hammer and tongs. It is said Cobb pulled a knife.

The watchman used his billy club and also sunk his teeth in Cobb's cheek just beneath the right eye. The injuries of the pair were dressed by the Tiger trainer. When the constable went to the ball park to serve his warrant he decided to keep his eye special car chartered for the champions. That's where he made his mistake, as Jennings piloted Cobb down several al side streets and arrived at the depot in time to take the train for St. Louis before the copper arrived.

DEATH RECORD D. Edward Butler, a prominent 10- cal Republican, and a former city license tax officer, at the White Haven sanitarium early Saturday morning, he having been admitted to the institution two weeks ago. After a severe attack of typhold fever years ago, Mr. Butler contracted bood poisoning in his leg and at two times was a patient at the Altoona hospital, being confined there once for three months, and, six months later, again for a period of four months, gangrene setting in in the poisoned leg and the limb only being saved by the most strenuous efforts on the part of the hospital physicians.

When American league started McAieer cast his fortunes with the new body and carried with him many old National league favorites. He was placed at the held in St. Louis, but, notwithstanding his hard work, and thorough knowledge of the game, he has had only fair success. Jimmy is a sensitive fellow and hates to pilot a bunch of losers. He is tired of criticism and it is said that he will take as much needed rest.

McAleer has always been a great player, aggressive, but never unsportsmanlike. The game can ill afford to lose such men. counted. Ayres fanned out. Beauts won out in the eighth.

Baker had the last put out of the season, when Thomas was forced at second base by Myers. It looks like Teal, Steele, Hooper, Irvine, Baker and Zollers, as a neucleus for next season's team.

Irvine took his last turn at bat by shaking up Anthony on a hard chance, he dying at first base. Fourth place for the Beauts is higher up than they ever have been in the Tri-State's history. Johnnie Glaze, it is expected, will gobbled in the American Association, or Eastern league drafting. Walker was in such a hurry to have it all over that he used fittle or no judgment in the calling of strikes. Steele made a strong bid for a ty in closing up for the season.

Myers catching the ball back near Ferd's sign. Captain Mike cracked out the last two-base hit of the local year, it being a clean cut smash into the right garden. Jacobs, the likely-looking thirdbaseman of the Senators, will go to the Montreal team of the Eastern league, next season. It looked like a belated victory for the Disappointments in the seventh inning, but good pitching put an end to the doings. What Altoona needs for next seacon is a team leader who can stand the gaff cf criticism, without becomIng a town rowdy.

Schneiberg, drafted from Milwaukee by Brooklyn, while a clever pitcher, is to be short on good disposition. With Kling playing this season, Chance figures that the Cubs would now be.at the top of the ladder instead of in second place. McCloskey is tickled that in the draft he did not lose either McGlynn or Hostetter, who were wanted.

He will not miss Schneiberg so much. Five clubs were after Clyde Wares, the Zanesville infielder. It turned out that Connie Mack secured him. Zanesville loses Lloyd to Cleveland. ALTOON A FIVE CENT CIGAR MADE IN ALTOONA 1212 TWELFTH STREET.
