WYATT LEE IS E PITCHING IN EJ _ * Former National Has and Lost But Three the Outfield an Brilliant work by Wyatt Lee, cast oft of the Toronto club, and at one time a star on the Washington team, has been a big factor in the present position of the Newark team. Lee is not a pitcher with the constitution of McGinnity, and has not worked his salary wing every alternate ' day like "Joe," but Lee's services have in more ways than one fulfilled McGinnlty's confidence in the pitcher who came to him and begged for a trial when "Joe" Kelly released him. When "Joe" signed Lte the hard working pitcher was about to cast his lot with the Albany team or the New York State League. Lee is always ready to take a turn as pitcher about every fourth day, and when he does pitch Newark "fans" are pretty sure that Newark will win. Up to the present time I,ee has won thirteen and lost three games since he Joined the Indians May 21. This is a much better record than possessed by any of Kelly's present staff. For two weeks Lee played in the outfield, taking the place of "Bob" Ganley, who was on the hospital list. He would take his regular turn in the box while performing outfield duty and delighted in making two hits while playing as a regular one day, and then coming back the next and pitching a victory. , While i^e was playing the outfield he participaied in eight games. He was cred- < o,nrl H-itli thlrtv-orio times at bat and hit safely nine times for an average of ' He captured nine fly halls and ntade one assist and played without an error, j GUT GARNER LEADS ALLTHEJOCKEYS, But Shilling Is Considered His j Master on the New ; York Tracks. * - x-fial Dispatch to The Star. 1 NEW FORK. August 2.-Uttle Guy 1 earner still heads the list of winning * 01 keys on the New York tracts with J 'in victories, 7.'! seconds and 30 thirds, but e is not regarded as the best race rider > l \ a long shot. Carroll Shilling, who Is c -econd with til first, 38 seconds and 21 1 i irds. including Saturday's races, is : nalclng rapid strides for first honors, and ? ts a jockey he is in a class by himself, s shilling did not receive a license until the ?tal season was well under way, and since ^ then he has been suspended on numerous occasions for disobedience at the post and >ough riding. In spite of these handicaps <e has managed to gain steadily on Garner. who has taken a slump since the Gravesend meeting. Shilling is a better orseman than Garner for the reason that he possesses superior judgment and can l andle all kinds of horses. He is under < outract to S. C. liildreth, who haB won more races than any other owner, and at fie Saratoga meeting Shilling is expected to overhaul the present leader in the contest for saddle honors. McGee, under contract to G. M. Odom, as had steady work <iver since the sea- j on opened. April 13, and stands third in J ine list with 41) winners, 40.seconds and 27 thirds. But he is not in the class with Shilling or Garner, who ia under contract io the Newcastle stable. In fact, McGee e at times is erratic and unreliable, and has s come in for plenty of sharp criticism. E. r IMigan. who rode more than 100 winners I ir.^f vnr has not heeun to ride ud to his i ? old form. He Is under suspension at pres- r cnt and did not begin to ride steadily here mtil the campaign was well under way. A* a result Dugan has handled only 150 t :irsts, 28 seconds, and 23 thirds. Dugan j has been riding for August Beltnont and i Hildreth. Butweil, James R. Keene's jockey, is lifth with twenty-eight winners, twenty- ' eight seconds and twenty-five thirds. He y had to lay off for several weeks after a s serious accident at Gravesend, in which T R. F. Carman's promising young rider c l.angan was fatally injured, and einre his t return to the saddle he has not shown t ills best form. Glass has ridden twenty- s four winners, twenty-three seconds and s i hirty-three thirds, but he is not riding i rs well a3 he did a year ago. Archibald, upon whose services Mr. Belmont has sec- , ond call, has shown steady improvement . ind precedes Glass with twenty-six winners, twenty-nine seconds and sixteen thirds. V. Powers, who rode 173 winners last < year and led all the jockeys In this coun- \ try, Archibald being second with 150 , firsts, is unable to ride Just now because s of illness. He le one of the best, how- ) ever, in spite of the fact that on the local | tracks he has ridden only twenty-two winners. Taplin, who accepted mounts here early in the year before going to < the Canadian circuit, follows Powers with t a record of eighteen firsts, fifteen seconds and twenty-four thirds. Creev.v, in the employ of R. T. Wilson, Jr.. is getting too heavy to ride as often as formerly and has handled but nineteen winners.

August 2.?Aftei eleven years of major league base bal 3111 Bradley, the third baseman of the Cleveland team, has been given his unconditional release. This action by the nanagement of the Naps drops anothei reteran star of early American League >ase ball from the big ranks. Bradley, always a star fielder and dangerous batter, fell off with his stickwork ast year and it did not improve this seaion. The acquisition by Cleveland ol 3ath in exchange for Lord from the Athetics put Bradley out of the game, and is the youngster is playing better ball han did the veteran, the latter was alowed to go. The release of Bradley lets out another eteran member who entered the American League during the base ball war. It s expected that Bill will sign with one oi he minor league teams for a while, and hen branch out as have other veterans ind secufe a franchise in one of the imaller leagues. Bradley was born in this city in 1877. vhere he learned to play the national tame. In 18517 he was with the Geneva, Dhio, independent team. The following .ear he signed a contract and played for ho Auhurn team of the New York State League. During that season and the folowing one he deveJoped Into the star :hird baseman of the league. His work ittracted the attention of |fce Chicago National League club. His release was purchased and he remained with the Cubs mtil 1901, when, during the NationalAmerican base ball war, he jumped to the Cleveland team, with which he remained intil yesterday.

The contest, which went but sever nnlngs, was the most exciting of ths ieason. and was won by Donnelly's home un drive in the seventh.

Captured by Russians After Short Campaign. BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS. Special Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago Record-Herald. TASHKBND, Turkestan, June 30, 1910. The capital of Turkestan, the residence f the Russian viceroy or Yarim Padisah (which means half king) and the eadquarters of the military forces of lentral Asia, is the city of Tashkend, j ituated upon the rivet' Jarhik, a branch j f the Syr Daria (which was known to he ancients as the Jaxartes). It stands n the edge of the western foothills of he mountains which form a natural oundary between Russian possessions in Lsia and the Chinese province of Tien ihan. These mountains consist of successive anges and are known by various nameshe Kharli Tau, the Alai Tau, the Urtak 'au and the Alexandrian mountains, nd they culminate in a great range nown as the Kizil Yafl, whose peaks rise 0 the height of 25,000 feet and are secnd only to those of the Himalayas, which orm the boundary between Tibet and ndia. The Kizll Yarl are really a conInuation of the Himalaya range and exend northward into Siberia. Tashkent is an ancient city, Its origin i 1 lost in the mist of the ages. Geograph ally it is on the same parallel of longiude as Bombay and is directly north of [abul, the capital of Afghanistan. Its ititude is about the same as that of Contantinople and Rome. Russian Siege a Brief One. Tashkent was captured by the Russians i October, 1804, after a brief siege by nly 1,950 troops, and, according to the tussian policy, Gen. Alexander Tcheraief, who was in command, called toether the "elder statesmen" and after ersuading them to his benevolent inten!ons issued a proclamation which is a lodel of dlniomaev: "By order of the great white tsar, his eutenant, Gen. Iskander Tchernaief (the se of the I'zbeb term for Alexander belg intended as a compliment to Alexnder the Great), hereby enjoins upon the lhabitants of Tashkent that they must t everything act according to the comlands of Almighty God and the teachings f the orthodox religion of Mohammed, n whose descendants be the blessings of !od. Let them say their prayers five Lmes a day, not passing by the appointed Ime an hour or even a minute. Let the lullahs go to their schools and teach he Mohammedan faith and not waste the ime of their pupils by an hour or a linute. Let the inhabitants of the eounry occupy themselves with their work. ?et the people of the bazars carry on heir trade with protlt. Let nothing be hrown into the street and let them be ept clean. The Koran forbids you to rink buza and whisky, to play games f chance or to be licentious; therefore, lewarc and avoid everything that i.^ ontrary to your religion. The soldiers 'ill lake nothing from you. Houses, ardens, fields, lands, water, mills and very thing else you have will remain your roperty and no soldier will come into our courtyard. If he does let us know t once and lie will be severely punished. | ' any one kills or robs a neighbor he i " *>e judged by your laws, and tne tenth | art of what is taken from the products 1 your lands I remit to you in accordnce with the will of the great white tsar i? show you his disposition of kindness." Appointed Firat Viceroy. Shortly after Gen. Kaufmann, who was lie chief in command of the campaign, rganized a provincial goVernment and as appointed the first viceroy of Turkesan His admin'stration was peaceful, regressive and remarkably successful, lis assistant and successor was Gen. kuropatkin, the real hero of the recent ;ar between Russia and Japan. Although laiifmann Is entitled to the credit of lanning the city and defining the policy f the government, Kuropatkin did most f the work, and to his energy, ability nd tact, more than to any other cause, i due the satisfactory condition that now xists in this part of the Russian empire, kaufmann and Kuropatkin both knew ow to deal with the natives and the olicy they inaugurated and the regulalons they framed are still in force. In the center of the city of Tashkend, 1 a beautiful public squar^ which is coniosed of four large blocks densely planted dth many varieties of trees, is a tall haft of granite with an inscription that alls Kaufmann "The conqueror of amarkand In 1868 and of the Khanate f Khiva In 1873." Kaufmann was a reat man, a genuine empire builder; [>ne'more successful has ever been known n Mr. Dingbat ( Tngi shaxj.

KX6TSR -J iin history, but Kuropatkin sliould also have a monument, because he carried Into effect what Kaufmann planned. The present viceroy is Lieut. Gen. Samsonoff. a man of great ability and energy, and his deputy is Lieut. Gen. Pokotillo. who is also making a reputation. The governor general has a palace, as I it is called, but you cannot see much ! of it because it is hidden by a high wall painted white, with green panels. The house is painted green, with white trimmings, and is simple and modest, and I without the slightest obstentation. It is by no means imposing, but is said to be handsomely furnished and comfortable. Palace Built for Comfort. It is of stone, of a single story, surrounding several courts and covering a large area. It was built by Gen. Kaufmann and is intended more for comfort ; than display. Each of the courts has a ! wide portico or cloister to temper the heat, which is intense in the summer, and all the rooms are large and high. | There is no throne room, or audience ! chamber, but a ballroom, thirty by fiftytwo feet in size, is used about once a year for a state reception. The dining room is twenty by thirty-two feet. A lounging or smomng room is reany me finest apartment in the palace, having a wainscoting and fieze of exquisite oriental wood carving, divans, upholstery and window hangings of native velvet made in Bokhara. The yarlm padashah, or viceroy makes no attempt at display and offers very little hospitality, either to the natives or the Russian residents. From a social point of view the administration of Turkestan is in striking contrast to that of India, where the viceroy is surrounded by much pomp and ceremony, and where the etiquette is even more strict than at Buckingham Palace or Potsdam. The viceroy of India holdts regular levees, at I which the native princes, the rajahs and maharajahs, appear in their royal robes, loaded with jewels, and are entertained with ostentatious ceremony; but at Tashkent all such things are omitted except on New Year day. when the governor general receives both Russian and native citizens in a manner as informal as the reception of the President of the United States. The palace is surrounded by several acres of gardens, orchards and groves, are inclosed by a high wall which extends back into the native city. The only fortification in the neighborhood of Tashkent occupies an eminence upon the opposite side of a wide street, and commands the native city. Like an Imperial Court. The viceroy- or "half king," as the natives call him. has a large staff of civil and military officials, mostly generals and other men of high rank, whose wives and daughters constitute an official hierarchy like the imperial court, or as near as possible. There arc dancee. teas, card parties, private theatricals, amateur concerts and various other amusements at the military club, which are attended by the families of the army officers, who are divided into cliques, coteries and setw as in other military Btations. The military etiquette is very severe, and the customs of St. Petersburg prevail in official society to a degree that is amusing. The merchant population have no social position, although if they happen to have attractive daughters they are made welcome at the balls and garden parties. The morals of the people are ignored, hut religious holidays are strictly observed. The viceroy has absolute and autocratic power and is responsible only to j the czar, who appoints and can' remove him, ^ut thus far has never interfered! with his administration. I do not know j of any other civilized ruler on the face of j the earth who is so independent of all I criticism and restraint as the Viceroy of Turkestan. The Viceroy of India is always under fire from critics in England and in India, both natives and Englishmen, whose partisanship provokes them to comment favorably or unfavorably in books, newspapers, magazines and upon the lecture platform upon everything he doeG, according as it happens to suit their views. The Viceroy of India is the victim of a parliament also, and a council for Indian affairs, as well as the colonial department of the government. The civil authorities in India are in continual friction with the military, and since the first of January last a council of state, one-half of whom are natives elected by the people, has been created to criticise ais well as to co-operate with him. None to Question Him. The Viceroy of Turkestan is not troubled with any of these afflictions, but is an absolute dictator, civil and military. No one asks him questions. Although he is assisted by a council, that body ueldom offers him advice unless it is "asked for, and the ministry at St. Petersburg have nothing to say concerning his administration one way or the other. There is a parade ground immediately in front of the palace, surrounded by -a double row of poplar trees, and upon the opposite side is a gorgeous church with yellow walls and Ave iiirqouise domes embellished with gilt, which is intended especially for the soldiers. A military mass is celebrated there every Sunday morning and always upon holidays and saints' days. We were fortunate in being able to witness the open air ceremonies upon the parade ground In front of the palace upon the emperor's birthday, but they did not amount to mueh. No enthusiasm was displayed and it looked as if Nicholas Tl is not getting all the respect that should be coming to him. The city was liberally decorated with Russian flags, but no salute was flred. There was probably some reason for the omission, but I oould not get an explanation. The church bells woke up all the population at an early hour in the morning, early mass was sung in all the churches as on Sunday, and a special service was held in the military church at b o'clock, which was attended by all of the officials, civil and military.
