DIAMOND DUST.
The Baltlmores won fourteen games in
succession.
The St. Louis club has signed a new
first baseman named 'MuFadden.
Catcher Smink has Jumped his con
tract with the New Castle club, and
left to Join the Lancaster team. Two
weeks ago the manager paid a fine of
$50 for Smlnk when he whipped a
Jamestown street car conductor. When
he left he had fully drawn his pay.
A telegram from Syracuse, N. T.t
says that Proprietor Kuntzsch of that
team, was negotiating with Pittsburg
for Short Stop Mortte Cross, who came
from that town to Pittsburg last year.
The message further says that Syra
cuse is confident of landing Cross ver;
soon. It Is a singular fact that all the talk
of changes in the league circuit comes
from gentlemen who haven't a dollar at
stake. There Is only one way to get
Louisville to quit, and that is by buy
ing their franchise. If the Bourbons
refuse to sell that closes up all avenues
for argument. As long as Louisville
pays her bills and the present articles
of agreement remain in force there can
be no squeeze. Cincinnati Post.
Provisional dates have been practic
ally agreed upon by Manager Burns
and Murray for the proposed Stelnert
cup contest between the 'first and sec
ond clubs after the close of the Eastern
league season. The dates are Sept. 17,
18 and 19 In this city, 20. 21 and 22 In
Providence, with a seventh game In
some city to be mutually agreed upon
In case it Is necessary. 'Naturally, no
further arrangements will be made un
til It Is known whether Springfield and
Providence can hold the positions they
now occupy, or whether some other
club pr clubs will be fllglhle to play for
the cup. The race Is not run yet, by
any means. Springfield Union.

Tho ftreen Ridge Senators defeated the
Actives, of Provirlence, on Mnnday by a

About 200 persons wltri'- cd the trot
ting nd running events, which began
at 3 o'clock, but only a dozen or mure
saw the last heat of the 2.30 class race,
which was by fur the most Interesting
of the day.
Nine horses participated In all of
the heats of the unfinished 2.50 class
race, but most of them broke so often
or were so distanced that they added
very little to the spirit of the con
tests. The first heat, which was run
on Saturday, wan won by Bessie Madl
son. owned by W. V. Norton. The race
was to lie mile heats, best three In live,
but only three were necessary yester
day. Fanny Blair Mado It Three Straight.

Running races
followed the finish
of the 2.50 class race with the following
entries:
Body S., b. g., Scranton.
Bob Lee, c. m., Wilkes-Barre.
Buy Tom, s. g., Wilkes-Barre.
While wnrmtng up for the first heat.
Bay Tom beenme so spirited that the
rider, a boy, could not stop him until
he hud run two laps nt lively pace, and
was tired out when the word "go"-was
given. The boy was more exhausted
than the horse, and a new rider
mounted.
Two half-mile heats were run. Boh
Lee finished first easily In both In the
slow time of 54 seconds and 1.02 min
utes respectively .
Bob Lee Could Have Bono Better,
Bob Lee could have done several sec
onds better, If the rider did not hold
him back for the purpose of letting the
field close in n him and thun pull
away again. These tactics were being
used by the rider on the turn Just
above the stretch In the second heat,
when Roily S. made a spurt on the
home stretch with apparently a good
show of winning, but Just at thnt mo
ment his left foreleg was seen to col
lapse and the race was ended and won
as far as Rody 8. was concerned.
A tendon was broken or torn from
across his fetlock or knee, evidently,
for he' was unable to use the leg and
It was necessary to support It while he
limped from the track.
The trotting In the 2.30 class races
was better than In the 2.50.
Seven horses started, but only five
trotted the five heats. Gold Seeker
was withdrawn after the second heat,
and Morgan Thaller after the fourth.
The entries were:
Morgan Thaller, rh. g., P. C. Hazzard.
Keely. b. g., Frank Hannls.
Gold Seeker, b. h., W. C. Norton.
Nellie B., b. m., L. A. Patterson.
Stnr Dudley, ch. g., J. A. Hull.
lov. Beaver, b. g.. Cummlngs.
Fred C, George Dunn.
Nellie IT. a Favorite.
Nellie B became a favorite after win
ning the first heat and continued a
favorite throughout the race on account
of her pretty and clean trotting. Keely
took the second heat by a length, and
also third, Nellie B. breaking on the
home stretch, after having a winning
lead. ' The latter mare was trotting
quite steadily, however, and redeemed
herself by winning In the fourth heat,
Keely coming under the wire third,
although breaking three times In the
mile.
It required the fifth heat to decide
the race and a very pretty contest It
was between Nellie B and Keely.
Nellie had the pole at the start
and kept . It during the whole
mile. At the quarter pole Keely had a
slight lewd, but lost It by breaking at
the half; again at the three-quarter polo
Keely forged ahead, but could not main
tain It against 'Nellie B's steady trot
ting, and came In a good second. Star
Dudley being third. The following is

The track was heavy and muddy in
several' places. The po(e horse was at
somewhat of a disadvantage than or
dinarily because he was compelled
to trot two yards or more from the
fence to avoid the mud. Horses with
a pacing gait could not stride as easily
as tho trotters,
Bauer's band discoursed sweet music
before and during the races.

HE CAN FIRE IPON THEM.
Opinion of Attorney Uaneral with Regard
to tho r.orbett-Fltzslmmnns Fight.
Austin. Tex.. Aug. 27. Attorney Gen
eral Crane this morning handed down
nis opinion in the Corbett-Fltzslmmons
prize fighting case In reply to an Inter
rogatory of Sheriff Caball, of Dallas
county, as to whether he had any legal
right to shoot down people while at
tempting to suppress the fieht.
The attorney general's reply Is to the
enect that prizefighters, referees, etc..
constitute an unlawful assemblage.
and the statues of the state makes spe
cial provisions ror tne dlsbandment or
such unlawful assemblages, that the
sheriff Is empowered to summon a
posse or even the militia to his aid, and
in case the fighters will not cease their
unlawful conduct then the statutes
specially provide that homicide is Just
lilable when absolutely necessary to'
suppress riot or unlawful gatherings.
The attorney general concludes his
opinion by saying that while he does
not believe it necessary, still If it Is
necessary the statutes provide that
the sheriff can use firearms In dia
banding any unlawful assemblage.
THE iTaPPY MEDIUM.
Dark and low'rlng clouds hang o'er us
And the songster stills his voice;
Even nature's happy chorus
No more bids our heart rejoice.
Pessimism, dark and frowning,
Heems to dominate our fate;
Discontent the whole is crowning
When tho home team
strikes
this
gait.
But we look bark on the sighing
And the lakes of tear we've shed,
And we smile at all tihe crying
And ths gloom that hung o'er head;
And lit makes the day seem clearer,
Even though our Joy came latu;
And our wish for life Is dearer
gait.
- . this
strikes
when the home team
Life Is marked by such transitions,
From the grave to greatest Joy;
Light and stradow shift positions
Gold soon changes to alloy;
There's of course a strong attraction
In the paths that fluctuate,
But we find most satisfaction
When the homo team strikes this gait
Annur cnapmsn,
