THE KEPUBLIC: SUNDAY, &TTGUST 5. 1900.
TENNIS NEEDS BOTH
PRACTICE AND MONEY.
Cracks of the Game Are, for the Most Part,
Young College Men Who Have Time
and Wealth at Their Disposal
Gossip of the Courts.
BY C. R. jrCAKTHY.
Lawn tennis, liko goir. is a game that re
quires plenty of time and money to becomo
proficient in. Hence, the- plenitude of col
lego cracks In tho game. In the national
championship doubles to bo decided at New
port the winners aro sure to come from the
college men, as tho threo teams entered aro
representatives of the threo leading colleges
of America. Hackett and Allen of laie aro
to meet Little and Alexander of rrlnccton.
Tha winners of this match will then go
against Harvard in ihe persons of Dwight
Davis and Holcombo "Ward for tho cham
pionship of 1900 at the double game.
In tho contests for tho Longwood Cup in
the last week, Dwight Davis seemed to have
everything coming his way. after winning
from Bcals Wright and being the man priv
ileged to meet Malcolm Whitman to decido
who should bo the final owner of the cup,
each having an ciual claim on it. In the
Davis-Whitman games the former teemed
unable to strike his gait, except at irregular
Intervals, and made a very poor showing as
compared with the games he played the day
previous, or with any of the games he has
played this season, for that matter. It is
the same old story, no man can do his best
nil the time, and Whitman was lucky
enough to catch Davis on one of the latter's
oil days. "Every dog has his day" is a very
true eaying. and it is not unlikely that
Dwight Davis will turn up on edge for the
decisive games of the year at Xewport.
The argument between Whitman and Da
vis this season has been a warm one all tho
way through. Last year Whitman was not
defeated, while he has lost twice to Davis
this season, including his defeat in the Mid
dle States championship by the St. Louis
man. Their score now stands two and two.
Both may be beaten in the Newport games,
but tho chances of such a result aro slim
indeed. Eastern critics conceded the cham
pionship to Davis up to Wednesday, when
he received his second defeat of the season
nt tho hands of Malcolm Whitman. Tho
match now looks as if deuce sets should ba
played from daylight to dark by those ex
perts. Tho local tennis cliampions have been
postponed for two weeks, and it is a very
good thing they have, as tho extra two
weeks' practice will be a godsend to soma
of those who have their eyes on the title,
while- the contests will prove all the mora
Interesting in consequence. At present it
looks as if the St. Louis Athletic Associa
tion will turn out the winner, but this is
by no means certain, as there are any num
ber of crack players who do their work
on private courts all over tho city.
Ralph McKittrick was conceded to have
it won some three weeks ago, but slnca
that time ho has played golf exclusively
and is making such a success of it that ho
seems to have forgotten that tennis rack
ets ever existed. A week's steady work on
the courts will make Mr. McKittrick as
good as he ever was. This fact will not
scare any one, however. a3 most of tho
entries have been putting up games of lata
that are strong enough to give any man
an argument.
Harry Pollard's regular, work of lato is
bound to give him many supporters, and
his ability to play a star game every day
is sure to make him a dangerous factor.
Pollard's service alone wins many games
for him.
Carver Forder played all Friday afternoon
and, incidentally, he made several of the
club cracks open their eyes in astonish
ment over his clever playing. Forder
play3 the steady game used by Whitman.
It is very remarkable how a man will win
game after game and set after set with
that style, while all the time you think
that man is hopelessly beaten by his more
flashy opponent. Carver Forder, with his
brother. Sam. played against Pollard and
Senseney for tho Washington Unlversltv
champlonshlp some time ago. and, although i
wiu luuvr jjur wu uui, ten aeuce sets wero
played beloro a decision was reached.
Cabanne place boasts of some players who
are liable to take the measure of McKit
trick In the championship. Will Lawver 13
a man who can mako the best of them
bring out their whole stock of Lawfcrds
and Henshaws to get one set, not to men
tion winning. 1 The number of really good
"racksters" in that section of the city is
surprising.
While watching Charles Reber work out
at the Pastime grounds a few days ago,
Tom Aitken became reminiscent, and as
eorne one remarked upon the lntrequency
of the hop, step and Jump contest on the
athletic programmes nowadays, Mr. Aitken
gave his listeners a few pointers on such
events.
"Experts in the hop, step and Jump,"
said Tom. "in making a record, choose a
stretch of well-rolled hard turf or. cliy. 1
once saw the best professional in the world,
Thomas Burroughs, go out on the hard clay
trotting track at Fleetwood Park, New
York, when the sun had baked the surrace
until it was almost like brick. Burroughs
put on his hop. step and Jumping shoes,
which were different from his regular
broad Jumping shoes, for they had thick
heels with two spikes in each heel. His
regular Jumping shoes did not have heels,
for tho soft dirt was always landed in then.
Not so with the hop, step and Jump, where
two landings, tho hop and step, must bo
made on hard ground. Burroughs cleared
close to fifty feet at Fleetwood Park, hop
ping over twenty feet. Then, without tho
slightest sign of faltering or breaking down
after landing on the unyielding tmrface. his
trailing foot was brought up and stretched
out in front of htm, and the leg that had
withstood the shock of landing responded
easily and gave his body a forward thrust
that enabled him to step a distance of four
teen feet. That movement brought his other
leg to the ground, and, with a movement
similar to the one he had Just used with
his opposito foot, his body was given an
other thrust forward and he landed sixteen
feet'further on. "The three movements were
Joined as nicely as though a machine 1-ad
performed them. One would have thougnt
that very little effort was necessary tor
Burroughs to clear that great distance, he
did It so easily and so gracefully."
The completion of the running track at
the St. Louis Athletic Association grounds
this week means a new lease of lifo for
athletics locally. Quite a number of the
local cracks were out yesterday to havo a
look at a turf track, as it is a new thing
to most of them. Fred Heckwoif thinks
that he can win Just as well on It, but can
never reach his best speed.
Will Wolff, tho crack 100-yard man. has
mado application for membership, and will
start training immediately upon his return
from his vacation, which he is now spend
ing around Buffalo and Toronto.
Arthur Stadle. who Is training for tho
sprints, can hardly wait for the last spade
to be turned to don the spikes and give the
track Its inilial spike digs. Stadle will be
stale in less than a week after the track is
opened unless he cuts out a good, big chunk
of his present self-allotcd work.
Gwynne Evans who has done the hundred
In :10 2-5. is in fine condition, but has dona
very little track work on account of the
poor facilities for it, but he will commenco
active training this week, and will give some
one. a surprise in tho athletic events to be
given at the Exposition this fall.
Fred Hattcrsley. the erstwhile cvcllst. is
a new member, who can do many things
In the athletic line, and may take a notion
to train for foot races, as it is hard for a
man to see others win prizes which he has
a chance to win himself. Fred is built to
run tho hundred like sixty. If he can be con
vinced of that fact there will be still an
other star added to the already largo list
of local sprinters.
Carver Forder. the Washington University
runner, has been out the last few davs, no !
doubt for the purpose of getting a line on
things before beginning regular training.
Carver is a .game a man as any of them t
over a distance, and would rather run a I
mile race than play a game of tennis; he !
Is a shark at tho latter, too. j
Charles Reber, the greatest broad Jumper
that ever happened. Is in training out at
the, Pastime grounds, but has no Intention
of doing anything in competition, as he
trains every summer for the benefit of his
health. Mr. Reber can clear twenty feet
any day in tho year, and with very little
training can come dangerously close to his
old world's record of 23 feet 64 Inches.
When Alvin Kraenzleln becomes coach
for the hurdlers of the University of Penn
sylvania next year, ho will havo a big fund
of knowledge to work on, the result of tho
ratlent teaching of Mike Murphy, who has
deserted the rod and blue lor Yale.
When Kraenzleln llrst went to Pennsyl
vania he furnished Murphy with the ma
terial tho veteran had long been looking
tor. and from what might be termed a second-rater
Mike turned out a world's cham
pion. It is a mistake to believe that Kracnzlein
was an altogether undeveloped man before
he came to Pennsylvania, savs tho Phila
delphia ISuIIctin. for he had already jumped
about five feet nlno or ten inches in the
high jump and had -run the low-hurdles
event under twenty-live seconds; but. on the
other hand. It is a still greater mistake to
believe mat he was a phenomenal athlete
before he came to the university. He had
never before broad jumped more than twenty-one
feet nt the most, and his best record
in the high hurdles was over seventeen sec
onds. It is, therefore, duo to Murphy's
coaching that the greatest track athlete of
America, or perhaps of the world, has been
developed.
Kraenzleln used to get over tho hurdles
"any old wav" before "Mike" Murphy
taught him the tricks of the game, and even
when lie had learned a better style, it was
one adapted to his own peculiar methods of
taking the hurdles.
It Is Interesting to note the progress
which has been made in tho hurdles and
also somo of Mike Murphy's methods In
obtaining these result?. First of all, ono
maxim of Murphy's must be set down at
me start, namely, that the same stylo is
not suited to every man.
When a man signifies his Intention to be
come a candidate for the hurdle event Mur
phy will pet him to go over one hurdle nat
urally in his own way. He can then see
whether the candidate has any ability, and
if he has, the natural gait of the man may
lie observed. It is obvious to every one that
different sized men will do best with various
styles, but this" simple truth was never
brought out in the field of track sports be
fore Murphy took the helm.
The candidate after these preliminaries
will be shown the proper position in going
over the hurdles. One of tho important fea
tures in the styles of theso men now, and
one which has much to do with their in
crease of speed, is the fact that every mo
tion of the body is forward, without anv
hitch or backward movement going over tho
hurdles. The arms should come up naturally,
as in running, and should not be r.itsed
above the shoulders. The head should go
forward toward the pull, and the jumping
leg should be brought across the hurdle
quickly, so as to land almost simultaneouly
with the other leg.
All these features1 are beautifully illus
trated when one gets in line with one of
the hurdlers, say Kracnzlein. and observes
that his head does not seem to riso at all
in going over the hurdle, and that he does
not take a jump, but apparently steps over
the hurdle. It is the observance of all theso
fine points that makes the hurdler, and be
sides this he must have speed and endur
ance. Many hard knocks of knees and ankles
with an occasional fall, must be expected,
and everything must continue with patience.
PARIS REGATTA
ATTRACTS NOTICE.
ALL THE WOULD WILL IIAVE ITS
EYES OX THE IXTERXATIOXAL
COMPETITION.
All America and all the wqrld -will soon
be interested in tho preparations for the
great world's championship rowing events,
which aro down on tho cards to take place
In Paris, beginning on the twenty-fifth day
of August. This country will have a mag
nificent list of Ekillcd youncsters to cops
for the glory of the flag and of the coun
try. Tho Parisians looked with some de
spondency on the outcome of the athletic
carnival. Yet they felt that, even If tho
Americans did win most of tho events in
tho athletic tournament, they had up their
sleeves the consolation prize in the shape
of the rowing championships. Your Pari
sian is a pessimistic lot. He takes more or
less consolation in the defeat of to-day, for
in a short time he expects to roll up a. long
list of victories. Ho can forsot defeat
quickly. All that Is necessary for him to
do Is to get himself into a proper mental
condition and happily dream of the victory
to be his. Already the Frenchmen havo
figured out how they are going to win a
majority of-the races.
If they had any idea of the kind of men
who were In the recent national reszuta,
they would not be so sanguine. New Eng
land should win two of the events, and si ill
a third should go to Philadelphia, yet the
Parisian scullers never heard of these rep
resentatives. They seem to think the
Americans are skillful enough to toss tho
heavy hammer and tho flfty-slx-pound
shot, but when it comes to American scull
ing no argument can gain a respectful hear
ing. But what a surprise the Parisians will
get! They will also drop somo of tho
francs they have taken away courteously
or by force, as tho case may havo been,
from American tourists.
This regatta Is open to the world. Thero
will be the rowing representatives of Nor
way, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Canada,
England, Australia and the United States.
It is said that English crews will excel in
the eight oars with picked men from Ox
ford and Cambridge, ready to do the trick
for old England. Heidelberg will also send
an eight and a four which can travel some.
France has neither love nor respect for tho ,
ucijiidij ur ine .uiibn, unu ner loyal sons
thirst for tho trial at the foreigners on the
water. Franco has already dreamed out a
win for this event. But here will be an
awakening. An American eight Is on its
way over and it will show the world what
our amateur boy3 can do. The four-oared
races will also have tho representatives of
a third of the nations of the world. This
race will be rowed in heats. Tho double
scull race is already a favorite with Paris
scullers who like the skillful., scientific pad
dling of two men in the boat.
The Frenchmen have a stroke which is
all their own. They splash through calm
water and seem to be afraid to make free
use of their sliding seats. The stroke is
short and snappy, with no sweep of the
back and no clutch from the oar in the
water. It is rather a pretty stroke, but
there is absolutely no chance of producing
speed with it.
Yet the greatest amount of interest will
surely center in the race for tho single scull
championship of tho world, and tor thi3
event Paris has half a dozen clever scullers
all of whom nre sure to win the race It
should be said Paris would be willing to
lose all the big rowing events If by so do
ing the shiglo scull championship could bo
kept in France.
It is the consensus of opinion on this side
of the water that tho single scull cham
pionship of tho world will be raced off be
tween two Americans and the race will bo
worth going f Paris to see. providing the
two are in condition. b

.""' more or less unKlnd talk regard
ing the amateur standing of Ten Eyck. To
the great credit of Howell It should be said
no objection came from him. Howell said
at Henley that his own ambition is another
race with Ten Eyck. He has prepared and
looked forward to the opportunltv for three
years. So, indeed, has Ten Eyck. The
meeting will be worth the journey. If Ten
Eyck finally resolves to go to Paris, which,
despite denials, he probably will do.
Howell looks as though there is cham
pionship timber in him. He has an enor
mous sweep, and when rowing his fastest
seems to bo scarcely exerting himself. Ho Is
rather slow to tako the water at the start
and almost invariably Is behind in the early
part of the race, but he possesses wonderful
finishing powers, and for this reason his
races are always worth seeing.
English sportsmen do not care a row of
pins for the Paris regatta, but they want
Ten Eyck to be defeated. Three years ago
they did not like the Idea of a boy, 1VA
years old, stamping all over the best row
ing men of England. Never was there such
an outrage in a country which boasts of its
work for tho building up and dignitying of
honest sport. They saw Ten Eyck row on
the Thames, and they raised the cry of pro
fessional. On the lace of It such a cry
was unnecessary and absurd. Ten Eyck
had never worked a day In his life. A year I
beioro he entered for the Henley no was
admitted to the HUh School In Worcester.
He never rowed a race for any kind of a
cash prize, and his parent was careful that
even in tho slightest act there would be no
chance to question ills standing.
Ten Eyck's father was a professional, tho
Englishmen shouted, and why not the boy?
That kind of logic prevailed on the Thames
oven if it disgusted men the world ovi-r,
who believe in decency and fair play. The
lather coaches tho son, was another howl.
He would be a line, healthy specimen of an
American father If he hadn't, though. 10
toll the truth. Eddie Ten Eyck was in need
of no groat amount of coaching. He just
grew up in a shell.
Younir, Ten Eyck was treated miserably
at Henley. They hissed and groaned when
he won. Hut all America threw up Its huts
and cheered when the news came over th
cable. And Ton Evck was .satisfied. They
made him file a bnml for f2.0K) to take tliu
Diamond Sculls emblem out of the country.
The first night tlioy wore in his possession
Ton Eyck tried In get the innkeeper at
Henley to place tho emblem in his sale.
until morning. The innkeeper with line old
Engli.sh scorn said ho wanted no damn
American trophies around his place, to tl e
Ten Eyck party was compelled to watch
them through the English night.
Not that the Diamond Sculls wero worth
anything. Eddie Ten Eyck couldn't ro
down to Petticoat 1-une In London at an
early morning sale nnd get live sovereigns
for thorn if ho talked himself hoarse all
day. But the youngster had to protect Ins
bond.
They never again received a Ten Eyck
entry. Those grave sportsmen, the Henley
stewards, mot in s-olumn convention and
mado tho world ill when thov declared tho
young boy a professional. If Ten Evck was
a poor oarsman he would have had good
amateur standing in Henley. But he was a
good, skillful buy, the superior of any man
in England, and for that reason he was
foiever barreii.
J-'o now, again. Ton Eyck is to cross the
water to row for the championship of the
world. He is the champion of his own
country. Ho Is the champion of England.
He should como homo the champion of the
world.
OLD SETTLORS' REUNION.
Thousands Attended the Demon
stration. republic special.
New Florence, Mo.. Aug. 4. The Old Set
tlers' Reunion to-day was in no way an ex
ception to any former meeting. The crowd
was lirgor than any meeting within tho
last six years. The grounds took on the as
pect of a grand street fair.
A. M. Dockory nnd Joe Klory. candidates
for Governor, were advertised, but, owing
to a misunderstanding. Mr. Dockery failed
to arrive. Mr. Klory made a short nonpar
tisan speech. George Robertson of Mexico
spoke for some time upon the policies of
the Government, regardless of any party
principles. J. D. Barnett of the Probate
Court was selected as president for the en
suing year.
There is no clay within the year looked
forward to with greater Interest by the peo
ple of this section of the State than the
first Saturday in August, the occasion of
the annual reunion of the Old Settlers'
Association of Montgomery County.
It is the time for tho home-coming of the
members of families that are engaged In
business in other parts of tho country. Not
only the old settlers, but the young settlers,
the families, the friends, all meet on tills
day and discuss the. events that have trans
pired during the last year, and tell of their
hopes for the year that Is to como.
In 1SS2 a few of the business men of New
Florence conceived the Idea of arranging
for an annual reunion of the old people of
the county, where they could relate their
deeds of valor, listen to the reminiscences
of others and spend a day in reflection of
tho past and a study of the present and
future. June 3, 1SS2. was selected for tho
first meeting which was held in a
grove one mile west of the town. The at
tendance was small, but sufficient to effect
an organization. A constitution was adopt
ed, in which the qualifications for member
ship reQUlred the applicant to be a resi
dent of the county for thirty-live years or
over 60 years of age. Tho object of the as
sociation was told in the following terse
words: "To preserve history, incidents,
events, local or general places from tho
falling of the first tree, the breaking of tho
first prairie, the first spinning wheel and
loom to the present day, and for all tlnio
to come." From this meeting sprang tne
groat Old Settlers' Reunion of Montgom
ery County, which to-day celebrated its
twenty-ninth annual reunion with as much
earnestness and enthusiasm as character
ized any former meeting.
The association at first held Its meetings
at different places in the county, but In
1SSG a tract of ground was leased and the
reunion permanently located until 1007. A
great deal of money has been spent In
beautifying these grounds. One or two
large wells supply plenty of water for tho
day; large sheds have been erected to
shelter several thousand persons in case of
rain; music pavilions havo been erected
for the several bands that aro employed
for each reunion. Last year a relic hall
was erected, in which are exhibited many
old nnd odd things used by tho forefathers
of this country. Several articles in this
hall are said to be 109 years and over old.
The records of the association show some
very Interesting things. For grand stand
marshal. Colonel John T. Hunter served
at tho first reunion and each succeeding
ono until his death, which occurred a few
days before the rounion in 1S9G. Since that
time R. E. See, now Marshal of tho State
Supreme Court, has served In that capaci
ty. T. J. Powell has served as secretary
sinco Its organization. W. R. HolIIngs
worlh has acted as superintendent of the
basket repository since tho beginning. At
one of tho meetings Thomas P. Miller, pro
prietor of the St. James Hotel, offered a
silver cup to tho mother attending that
was the mother of the greatest number of
children. Mrs. Charles Autenrelth received
the cup. she being the mother of nineteen
living children.
Somo of Missouri's best speakers havo
been present at these various meetings nnd
delivered speeches. The list Includes John
Walker, D. II. Mclntyre, B. G. Boone,
Champ Clark, U. S. Hall. Richard Daltou,
Senator Cockrcll, Colonel Pat Dyer. Will
lam F. Switzler, H. Martin Williams and
many others.
In 1SS0 women wero admitted to mem
bership, and quite a number of ladles
have associated themselves with tho or
ganization. The oldest lady that joined the
association and Is yet living Is Mrs. C. M.
Kallmever, the mother of A. H. Kallmoyer,
who was a candidate for State Auditor dur
ing the recent Democratic campaign. A. G.
Mason 1 the oldest living member, having
been born In 1S0S. Over CC0 names have been
enrolled as members. Of this number the
records show that nearly 100 have died.
B1GFJRE1N ASHLAND.
Ono Million Dollars' Worth of
Property Destroyed.
Asland, Ws., Aug. 4. A million dollars'
worth of property was destroyed by fire in
the lumber district of this city to-day. Tho
flimes were ccckod after three hours'
struggle, before they reached the valuable
sawmills and ore docks along the water
front.
At 1:H0 p. m. fire broke out in the lumber
yards of Barker & Stcwait. It spread rap
Idly to the Keystone Lumber Comptny's
yards, and in a short time had destroyed
almost fifty million foot of lumber, including
six tramways. Carried hy the strong wlril,
the fire brands started a blaze In the lime
salt and cement dock, a quarter of a mile
away. The dock burned like powder. It
was a r.uartcr of a mile long, and was soan
reduced to ruins, together with a warehouse.
Four thousand pounds of dynamite wero
brought to the scene and distributed all
around tho outer edge of the fire zone.
Piles of lumber and scores of small build
ings were blown into atoms, and. after
three hours of hard work, the flames 5ud
apparently reached their limit.
None of the great mills had been de
stroyed, but tho loss was easily a million
dollars.
At 8 o'clock this evening the wind veered
toward the city. The alarm was soundad
again, and every available piece of fire ap
paratus was brought into action, but It ap
peared probable that the mill of Barker &
Stewart. Durfee's mill, the Ashland Iron
and Steel Company's property and the
Ohio company's docks would be destroyed.
DISAPPOINTED THE CROWD.
Bark and Donnelly Failed to Ap
pear at Populist Rally.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield, Mo.. Aug. 4. Wharton Barker
nnd Ignatius Donnelly, candidates for
President nnd Vice President on the Middle-of-the-Road
Populist ticket, disappointed a
large crowd here this afternoon. They had
been extensively advertised by their follow
ers in this county to speak In Springfield to
day, but both of them failed to show up.
Great preparations were made and many
were disappointed. No explanation is yet
offered as to why they failed to keep the
engagement made by the Populist State
Committee.

An exhibition of base-running, hitting and
fielding such as Heidrick put up yesterday
has not been witnessed on these diggings
for many a day. He was given a great
ovation 'on his first trip to the plate. Tho
fair sex were particularly conspicuous In
the hand-clapping that greeted Emmett
when lie strode to the plate, bat in hand,
to face Carrlck.
McGraw was on second. The ball came
straight over the outer edge. Heidrick
swung his willow viciously and successful
ly. The ball went like a mauser bullet over
Hickman's head. Selbach started with the
sound, but ho could not head off the sphere.
It bounded out between the two bleachers
in left field. It was a clean home run.
Heidrick only extended himself between the
plate and second base, and during this time
Doctor StarkloiT held his breath. It was
an excellent test of the soundness of the
fielder's legs, nnd when he crossed the plate
and showed no signs of pain the onlookers
breathed easier.
In tho third inning Hc'drick hit safely
past short and went 10 third on Donovan's
clean single. Wallace put up a high fly
just behind second, which Van Haltren took
care of. As soon as the ball was caught
Emmett started for home, and although the
throw was a perfect one, he beat it fully
three feet. Umpire Emslle, who, by the
wiy, was In very bad form, called Heidrick
out for leaving third before the ball was
caught. The umpire might have been right,
but to those in the grand stand it appeared
as though Heidrick stuck to the bag until
the hall was fairly In Van Haltren's mitts.
The decision cost St. Louis at least one run.
With two out and two on base in the sixth
Davis ordered Matthew son to give Heidrick
a base on balls. It proved costly, as Don
ovan followed with a doubt-forbidding
double to left, and three tallies wore count
ed. In the field Heidrick mnde two sensa
tional running catches, and by exceptionally
fast fielding held Hickman's terrific swat
down to three bags in tho seventh, when
things Ioo,ked bad for Jones.
Good, hard hitting and fast base-running
won the game for St. Louis. Fielding er
rors, however, came mighty near losing It
on several occasions. Bert Jones, who ar
rived several days in the advance of tho
team, was on the rubber for St. Louis, at-d
pitched a good, hard game. Only two
earned runs were made by New York. Bert
was a trifle wild, but with anything like
good support he would have gotten out of
several holes with Ills colors flying, 'iho
weather was mighty hot for the south-paw.
but ho stood it well, and was pitching just
as strong at the end of the game as nt the
outset. Two of the nine hits made by New
lork came after the side should have been
retired, and both of the blngles proved
costly.
Tho four runs made by New York In the
seventh came from what might be called a
dumb play, and Criger and McGraw wero
equally responsible. Smith was at the bat,
after two were out, and with Selbach on
Fccond. When it was two and three Selbach
started for third on the next ball. It ap
peared as though Smith struck at the spheie
which was a trifle wide. Crlger thought the
batter was out and sailed the ball to Mc
Graw. The latter paid no attention to the
leather and allowed It to roll to left field,
whll.! Selbach scored and Smith took first
as Lmsllo called the last ball pitched a
wl(.e one. Another base on balls followed.
1 hen came Wallace's bobble of Gleasons
grounder and Hickman's triplo to tho right
field bleachers.
Carrlck started the twirling for New
Inrk, ut in the third Inning George Da
vis realized that St. Louis did not appear to
have much trouble In locating his usually
deceptive shoots and ho substituted a
youngster by tho name of Matthewsom
Mattlinwson Is a loose jointed, rublsh sort
of a fellow, but ho has an assortment of
curves that may somo day make him proml-

Jess has not hit so well at any time this
year 011 the St. Louis grounds. He met the
ball fairly every time and never hit at any
thing that wf.s not directly over. Donol
van's work with the stick is also worthy of
mention. His three blngles came when thev
meant runs. McGraw played his usual

FRED CLARK SAVED THE GAME.
Illii Scnsntlonnl Cntcli Robbed Dcle-Iiantj-
of n. Sure Home Run.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 4. Catcher Charlie
Zimmer of the Pittsburg team Is lying at
his home in Cleveland suffering from kidney
trouble and a badly strained back. It was
announced to-nl&l.t by President Dreyfuss
that Zimmer might not be able to Dlay
again this year. More than a month ago
Zimmer hurt his back reaching for some
of Rube Waddcll's wide ones on a particu
larly bad day for the big fellow.
To-day Manager Clarke ordered Han3
Wagner to begin hard practice behind the
bat, as he will put him in to catch In reg
ular turn in case Zimmer docs not round
to. Wagner first attracted attention as an
amateur, catching for the Carnegie, Pa.,
Fred Clark's catch of Delehanty's drive
In the tenth inning saved the game for
Pittsburg this afternoon. It was perhaps
tho most brilliant piece of work ever seen
in Pittsburg. With two men out, "Del" hit
tho ball a vicious smash, sending It on a
line down the left-hand chalk mark.
Clarke had been plavlng far from the
line, and It looked as though he would never
get near tho ball. Five thousand people got
up and shook themselves, ready to start
for supper. It was a sure home run, they
thought.
Clarke extended like a racer. He was
making a wonderful race, and a weak cheer
wont up as the crowd saw he wjuld pp.l
ably get within twenty feet of the ball.
Finding he could not set to it, Clarke took
a head-Ion? dive, shot along the ground
two lengths of himself and got the ball in
his right hand as it was within two Inches
of tho ground. Ho rolled over and over,
coming up with the ball. "Del." plowing
past second, saw the catch and threw up
his hand. For full two minutes the crowd
cheered Clarke.
THOMAS IIACIC FROM KANSAS CITY.
HlK Pitcher Asaiii lt.-nd.v to AVnrni Vp
for the St. Louis Tea in.
Thomas Thomas, the pitcher who has ac
quired fame this season as the holder of
tho "wanning up" record, slipped into town
very quietly and unexpectedly Saturday
morning from Kansas City. The man with
the dnubblo-barroled cognomen was farmed
out to Jimmy Manning some two weeks
since, but he is bore again and ready to
warm up when ever the other box artists
seem to be getting at all unsteady.
Catcher Parke Wilson, who was farmed
to Kansas City by the New York team,
showed up at League Park yesterday, and
was given his release outright on orders
from Magnate Freedman. Jimmy Manning
must bo weeding out his team for fair when
he lets two men out who are good enough
to have big League strings tied to them.

IMPOT
STffl
The majority of the sufferers from Varicocele who consult ua come wearing a sus
pensory, which has been recommended by their family physician as their only hope of
a cure, and a poor chance it has afforded. They have worn electric belts, trusses, etc.,
all warranted to cure; have taken gallons of medicines restoratives, invigorators,
sure cures, free treatments, etc., until their stomachs havo revolted, and their health
is seriously impaired.
They have expended hundreds of dollars without any permanent benefit, have lost
confidence In their fellow-men and have begun to despair of ever being cured.
These are the cases -we especially solicit patients who have been unsuccessful lit
their search for a cure; men who realize the seriousness of their condition and will ap
preciate successful, scientific treatment and a permanent cure.
We have made a special study of tho treatment of Chronic. Nerroin and Sexual
nUcimen of men for many years, and over ten thousand cured patients will gladly;
testify to our skill, honesty and success In the practice of our specialty. The great se
cret of our success has been that both rich and poor alike receive our very best serv
ices. Our whole energies have been concentrated on our specialty and not scattered
over the entire field of medicine and surgery. Each case receives our careful and thor
ough consideration; we first discover and remove the cause or origin of the disease, ancl
once this has been accomplished, we will quickly restore you to what nature Intended
a healthy and happy man, with physical, mental and sexual powers complete.
If you are suffering from Varicocele or nny derangement or weakness of the senst
tlvn organs nf the nelvic or sexual svstem we want voa to Investigate our system ofi
treatment and success in curing these diseases with as much care as you would In tha A'
purchase of real estate.
We will answer any question you ma7 wish to ask and will gladly refer you to re
liable business men, whom we have cured of a similar affliction. Tv"e recognize no su
perior, nnd but few equals. In the successful practice of our specialty. When you placs
yourself In our care you may rest assured that you will obtain the very best treat-
ment obtainable, and that you will be cured In tho shortest time possible.
WE CURE VARICOCELE
Varicocele Is man's most prevalent and Insidious disease; It Is a condition of en
larged, dilated and broken-down veins of tho left scrotum; feels like a bunch o
earth worms; there Is a dragging down weight In the left spermatic cord. Th
causes of Varicocele are many Injuries, strains, prolonged exertion, sexual disease,
hereditary weakness, etc., but the great majority of cases aro due to either self
abuse in early life or later sexual excesses. There is a faulty circulation of blood
to the sexual organs, and aa a. .consequence 'of the insufficient-nutrition th;g)afi4sbe
coma softened and wasted. The stagnant, poisoned blood Is constantly being thrown
Into the general circulation, and as a result the whole system Is Indirectly affected.
Tou become nervous, despondent and irritable, your memory fails, your old-time en
ergy and ambition are lacking, you cannt concentrate your mind on your work, you
grow weaker and weaker sexually, and ultimately become but a wreck of your formee
self.
Rennlia of Xejclect Neglected Varicocele lead3 to all the horrors and tortures,
of Impotency and Lost Manhood: It depresses the mind, rack3 tho ncrvou3 system,
unmans you, unfits you for married life, hinders your success and shortens your ex
istence. Throw A-rvay Yonr Snspensory Tour family physician will tell you It 13 of no)
Importance and will give you a Suspensory to relievo it, or will treat you for tha
symptoms Nervousness, Impotency, etc, without relief, and you will accept your fata
as Inevitable and prepare to live out a miserable existence. The taking Internally or
applying medicines will never cure this condition, nor will the -wearing of Electrlo
Belts, etc., and wo would advise the reader to beware of the many Fake Mush
room Jledical Concerns who claim to euro this disease and really do nothing for you.
Onr Electro-Chemlc Method of treatment is your refuge; it Is the only posi
tive cure for Varicocele outside a dangerous, wide-open surgical operation (cutting
out the veins).
Our method of treatment is entirely painless and devoid of danger; It has all tha
advantages to be derived from tha surgical operation, but noco of the many disad
vantages. It compares to the old-tlma treatments as the electric light does to tha
candle. We guarantee to cure the most aggravated cases of Varicocele In from five to
ten days. Wo have cured over 5.000 of the most complicated cases of Varicocele, and
have yet to havo a failure or recurrence. Why not take preventive measures be
fore it Is too lato? It is a duty you owe yourself and family that you bo cured o2
this dread disease. Wo have ourselves tried all tho different methods of treating this;
disease, and know from actual experience that we can assure you tha Quickest,. safest
and most rellablo cure obtainable.
Gunrantecd to Stay Cnrcd We give a written guarantee In every case accepted
for treatment. Wo can demonstrate to the most skeptical that we aro doing Just
as wo claim to do. When we havo explained our treatment to you In detail, and
you havo talked. In the privacy of their own offices, with reliable business men
whom wo have cured, wo feel certain that any doubt you may havo had regarding
our ability to cure you will have vanished.
Impotency, or Lost Manhood.
Men, many of you, in your very prime, when you should be enjoying all the pleas
ures of life, find yourselves broken down Jn health and prematurely old. Your nreiena
condition is the result of early evil practices or later Indiscretions. Has your Ufa
been a disappointment to yourself and friends? Are you nervous. Irritable and de
spondent, lacking tho vim, energy and ambition that denote the perfect man? Man's
whole nerve ana vuai lorct- originates irom

time as this weakness has been corrected.
We want every man who feels that he Is not up to the proper standard of health
and manhood to consult us. We will gladly explain to you the true nature of youc
condition and describe fully the system of treatment wo will use In restoring you ta
good health.
Our treatment for weak men acts by overcoming the effects of early follies It la

the parts regain their normal size, and you will never again bo troubled with Frema
turcness, failing memory, nervousness, loss of ambition and the many other symp
toms which unfit you for business and pleasure. We can fit you for a happy married
life and a successful business career. Do not delay; Impotency Is never at a standstill
