Bln race for the pennant in site National
la.igin in growing more and more excit
ing .is tin Hia-on draws to a close. The
jd.tying throughout the .season has been
< X' < llcnt and some great games have been
played The Cincinnati club has led the
other teams for over two months, but the
(Bostons, who had been running the team
<i close race, forged ahead yesterday and
Cincinnati dropped to second place. Balti
more, who h.i.s not b< cii playing very good
trail during the season, is coming to the
front rapidly and now bolds third place in
the standing, wit>h only a few points behind
the leaders.
Baltimore has an excellent chance of
winning out. it will tie remembered that
Baltimore won the pennant for three years
Bi suecession. and as it is the only South
ern team in the league the people in this
part of the country have hopes that the
team will be successful again this year.
They only m ed to w in a few games before
tit will be on lop, and judging from its re
cord of the past fuw days it looks as if
‘Baltimore will win out. The team played
four games with Pittsburg and won 'the
whole series.
Baltimore has played less games than any
team in the league, and this accounts for
(her low standing. The New York team
also hat. a good place in the standing and
with hard playing may land on top. Bos
ton, the pennant winner of last year, seems
■to have been playing in hard luck the last
few days as it is dropping down a peg
every day In the per ventage column. The
season closes on September 15th, which
leaves some time yet, but from the pres
ent indications it seems as if the teams
'who have been in the lead all the season
will drop their long held places to the
’teams who have not been doing so much.
Baltimore has always played better during
the last few weeks of the race than at the
'beginning and if this proves true this year,
the team will no doubt carry off the ’hon
ors again.

In Some of the Races- Benefit of
Relief Association—Will Ho’d
Another Soon.
The L. A. W. meet at the park yester
day was attended by a fairly good crowd,
and though the races were very slow they
were exciting at times. There was a gen
eral tendency on the part of all the riders
to loaf and it seemed as if all were wait
ing for some one to set the pace.
The unlimited pursuit race proved to be
the most interesting race of the day. Four
men entered the contest at the start and
two of them droped out early in the race.
The race narrowed down to a contest be
tween Jesse Hart and Lynwood Bright,
who covered twenty-one miles without any
gain and the race was declared a tie.
The first race yesterday was a one mile
novice. Hart first, L. R. Sandford second,
K. M. Burns third, and F. J. Jeter fourth.
Tim* 2.54.
The secend race was the one mile cham
pionship of Bibb county. Jesse Hart first,
Lynwood Bright second, Ed Henry third.
In the messenger boys’ race Freeman
Hart won. Neal Able was seot.i, Grady
Johnson third. Time 2:50.
(Bright won the quarter mile race in
great shape, clipping off the distance in
thirty seconds. Rutherford, of Americus,
came second, and Sandford third.
The one mile open tandem paced was
won by Jesse Hart in 2:27. The race start
ed in great shape, but Hart caught the
tandem and stuck to It all the way. The
other riders came in fully a quarter of a
mile in the rear.
The proceeds of the races will add some
money to the fund of the Relief Associa
tion and will do a great deal toward en
couraging the riders to take more Interest
in bicycle races.
The judges were 'Charles Ha.--is, 0. A.
Coleman and R. J. Brlerton. The referee
was F. W. Goete and the starter Percy
Griffith.
No one was hurt and everything passed
off pleasantly.
Another meet will be held at an early

Hobson Saved the Life of a Cripple Be
neath a I rolley Car.
Newark, N. J., Aug. 17. —It has become
gmeraly known here that Lieutenant
Hobson, the Merrimac hero, saved the life
of Patrick Halloran, a poor cripple, while
litre a week ago. Hobson was waiting for
an Orange trolley car near the Pennsyl
vania depot. A large crowd was gather
ing, among them Halloran, who tried to
cross the trolley tracks. The car bore
swiftly down upon him. Halloran became
dazed with fright and to the onlookers it
seemed as if 'he would be ground to pieces.
Suddenly there was a rush and the next
instant an athletic young man dragged the
cripple safely from the tracks.
’’Hobson?” gasped Halloran, regaining
his breath with difficulty.
“Hobson,” replied the hero calmly, ex
tending his hand.
"Well, here’s my car. Good-by.”
CONTRADICTS
HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Burns Says His State
ment of Heslep Shoot
ing is False.
Brunswick, Aug. 17.—The friends of En
gineer Heslop, deceased, state tonight that
■they have a statement from Mrs. Burns,
wife of iHeslbp’s slayer, in which she
denied her husband’s statement, quoted in
these dispatches the night of the tragedy.
It seems that (Mrs. Burns denies all of her
husband's charges against Heslop and
states that he killed Heslop from pure
jealousy. ‘She is alleged to claim that
Heslop was only an acquaintance and had
merely spoken to her when her husband
commenced shooting. The statement of
Mrs. Burns puts a new light on the shoot
ing and will be used against her husband.
EASTMAN COMES SATURDAY.
Gaine Has Been Arranged--Macon Will
Have Good Team.
For the past few there has been
some doubt about Eastman coming up Sat
urday, as they wanted too much of the
.gate receipts, but today Manager Harris
received a letter stating the team would
accept the terms offered by Macon and
would be up Saturday to show the Macon
boys how to play ball.
•It seems that Eastman is stronger in the
“jaw than in base ball as she lias been
“jawing" very much lately. Probably
Macon’s time will come Saturday. The
'Wiregrass Crackers may have a strong
team, but 'Macon will have a stronger one.
The batting order will be published in
tomorrow’s News. 'Manager Harris says
that the Macon team will have no trouble
in defeating the Eastman team, and all
he asks is that the people turn out and
see his team work.
Macon has not had a ball game since
‘Mercer closed and this game will no doubt
create enthusiasm. The game is to be
played for the benefit of the Relief Asso
ciation and this alone should draw a large
crowd.

Capt. Bob. Hodges received information
today that his company would be mustere-d

The company is known as Company I

Capt. Hodges leaves tomorrow for Griffin
to take charge of rhe company and he will
be stationed there until the regiment is
ordered away.
He staked to a News reporter this morn
ing that the regimen-t would be sent to
Santiago and that nothing was in the re
port that the regimen-t would be mus
tered out.
The regiment will be turned over to the
government on Saturday and it promises
to be a big day for Griffin.

WATSON WINKED
At Schley and Then Both of
The Commodores Laugh
ed Significantly.
Siboney, Aug. 17. —Ever since Sampson’s
telling of the victo"y over Cerve
ra there has been much, talk of a personal
nature relating to the admiral and Com
modore Schley.
After 'this splendid naval achievement
Commodore Schley went to visit Commo
dore Watson, his old Annapolis ehum, at
his station with the flying squadron in
Guantanamo Bay. They sat in the cabin
and Schley called Watson by his 'first
name and described the fight to him in <b—
tail.
Schley ended his discourse by saying:
“And the credit belongs to Admiral Samp
son. He planned the naval formation and
he was in command of the squadron.”
Watson looked a little sidewise at Schley
and, using his first name, while he winked
his left eye slowly, he said: “O, Winfield!”
Then for some reason they both laughed.
In discussing this particular incident,
the destruction of Ccrvera, it must be re
membered that it was in fact, Sampson’s
guns that finished the work in forty min
utes.
As ov°rvKor’v VpoTtrs. was cMef
of ordnance before the war broke out. Few
people knew, however, that it was by his
plans and under his direction that most of
the superb guns of our navy were con
structed and planned. Their accuracy of
fire, their ease of handling was due to the
careful work of Sampson long before the
war.
Then, too, it was his plan to have the
slower ships, like the Texas, cruising from
twenty to thirty miles of Santiago. The
result of this precaution was seen when the
Texas headed off Cervera. Without the
Texas it is possible that the Colon would
be sailing on the high seas today. Day
and night, under Sampson’s order, the
watch was kept up. The searchlights of all
the blockading squadron were turned with
a blinding glare on Morro every night, and
back of this was shadow so black that it
seemed to be branded into the less deep
darkness of the night.
Into this shadow the steam launches
would steal and continue their course far
under the guns of Morro, and even up to
the Merrimac itself, where they waited,
risking instant and terrible death with
rockets and guns, ready to signal the fleet
should Cervera try to escape. It was this
eternal vigilance which was finally reward
ed by the great victory which will ever
make the 4th of July, 1898, memorable,
and the names of Schley and Sampson il
lustrious in naval annals.
