what was supposed to be appendicitis,
has attracted general attention be
cause of the unanimous opinion of the

Miss Elsie Gasser.
Ten thousand pumpkin pies were
consumed at Longmont, Col., in tha
observance of Longmont's annual
pumpkin festival. For weeks wagons
filled with pumpkins have come in
from the surrounding country, which
is famous for its pumpkins, and every
oven in town has been running to its
capacity in baking the golden discs
of spicy pie. The pies were served
free to everybody and excursions were
run from Denvpr and other cities.

The three soldiers at Fort Omaha
who were inoculated with the new ty
phoid serum have ben pronounced im
mune by the garrison doctors. The
men developed the fever in a mild
form in seves days. When fully re
covered from this they were vacci
nated again, but no typhoid symptoms
appeared. Then they drank freely
from water into which millions of the
typhoid germs had been placed, but
so far with no evil results.
Secretary MacVeagh of the treas
ury department said that no determi
nation had been reached as to the
time of the issuance or amount of the
3 per cent one-year certificates re
ferred to in announcement by the
treasury department recently. The is

may be necessary to maintain a com
fortable cash balance in the treasury.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist
of the agricultural department and
guardian of the pure food laws, has
started a crusade against embalmed
cucumbers and ghernins inoculated
with alum. He asserts that withered
and half-spoiled cucumbers are given
generous hypodermics of alum and
under its magic influence the once
soft, soggy and generally disreputable
pickle of commerce is plumped out,
rejuvenated and becomes so pleasing
to the eye that few' persons can resist
its alluring attractiveness. Although
the board of food and drug inspection
has had the question of the use of
alum as a preservative under consid
eration for several weeks, no decis
ion has yet been given out.

l/N THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Batting in the Southern League ap
pears to be a lost art. The foul strike
rule, the spit bill, better play in the
field and all around general team
play have done more to offset the
work of the batters in the fastest
minor league i- •’' >
world than anything else. Not a
player in the league rs waning ...
select .300 class, and only sixteen
men are batting .260 or over. This
is a horrible state of affairs and
shows conclusively that the pitchers
a,re having all the edge on the bat
ters. Bill McGilvray, the Birming
ham first baseman, is the real leader
of the league, with an average of
.290. Hart of Montgomery, with .299,
and Daubert of Memphis, with .293,
top him, but they have not been in
the number of games that the Baron
has; hence his real leadership. Noah
Henline, the fast Baron, left fielder,
oomes second in tho list of batsmen,
with .279, and Paul Sentell of Mobile
is third, with .277. Dick Bayless, tho
fast Atlanta cehter fielder, leads the
players in scoring runs, having 65
trips to the plate to his credit. Daley
of Montgomery comes second, with
60, and Persons of Little Rock third,
with 56. Henline has made the most
number of hits, having bingled safe
ly 117 times. The other players who
have made 100 hits or more are as
fololws: Weimer, 108; Molesworth.
107; McGilvray, 104; gentell, 101.
Immediately following his forfeit
ure of the game to Macon, Umpire
Gifford was surrounded by a crowd
of several hundred angry spectators
at Augusta, and narrowly escaped se
rious injury. Before the police could
ward off the people, Gifford was
struck in the fact, and hit on the
head with pop bottles.
A Birmingham fan picked an all-
Southern League team. This is his
team: Catchers, Tonneman of Nash
ville and Casey of Little Rock; first
baseman, Robertson of Nashville; sec
ond baseman, Walter East of Nash
ville; shortstop, Paul Sentell of Mo
bile; third baseman. Walker of At
lanta; center fielder, Molesworth of
Birmingham; right fleldlcr, Cocash of
Little Rock; left fielder, Dick Bay-
Ices of Atlanta; for utility man,
Kirkpatrick of Atlanta, and Pitchers
Case cf Nashville, Scliwenck of Mem
phis, Robinson of Birmingham and
Fisher, Bartley aqd Atkins of Atlanta.
Jack Johnson declared that he
would demand a forfeit of $20,000 the
day that the final articles are Signed
by himself and Jeffries. “You see, I
don’t believe that Jeffries means to
fight,” said the champion. “He is sim
ply look for more advertising at my
expense, and if he wants the publici
ty he is going to have to pay the
price. It would be the simplest thing
in the world for Jeffries to sign up
to fight me within six months, post, a
forfeit of $5,000, and then go on the
stage and make so many times that
amount.”
An odd incident occurred in a semi
professional baseball game in Chica
go the other day. The umpire had a
hole in his blouse so that it, would
not hold extra balls not in play.
Therefore, lie placed a ball on the
ground back of the pitcher. A bats
man drove a hit through the pitcher’s
box, and the batted ball hit the one
on the ground, with the result that
one ball bounded to the shortstop and
the other to the second baseman.
Both fielders threw to the |rst base
man almost simultoneously, and lie,
seeing two balls coming, dodged out
of the way.
The senior champion field events
of the Amateur Athletic Union were
contested in the Alaska*Yukon-Pacifie
stadium and some sensational per
formances resulted. Ralph Rose
broke the world’s record for putting
the 16-pound shut, held by himself.
His put was 50.26 feet. Forrest
Smithson of Multomah Athletic Club
equaled the world’s record for 120
yards over high hurdles, when he
beat A. B. Shaw of the Chicago Ath
letic Association. Very fast time was
made in the five mile race, which was
won by a dark horse, Harry McLean,
an Indian, of Arizona. Seattle Ath
letic Club won the meet by a good
margin, being 16 points ahead of the
San Francisco Olympics.
McLaurin, Augusta’s star batter
and base-runner, is one of the most
graceful players in the League.
Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries
have signed articles of agreement for
a fight of from' 20 to 10b rounds for
the heavyweight championship of the
world. Five thousand dollars, to op
erate as a side bet, is to be posted by
each of the parties with Charles A.
Comiskey. The contest is to be held
before the club offering the best in
ducements, the decision to be made
within 60 days. The fight is to take
place within six months after the se
lection of the club.
Whether or not Atlanta wins the
pennant this year, it will certainly
be handed to the team on the count
of gamensss. No matter what hard
luck the Crackers butt into they keep
right on butting and winning.
Ed Abbattiechio, the former Nash
ville idol, has been putting up such
a stellar game at shortstop for the
Pittsburg3 during the absence of Hans
Wagner that Manager Fred Clarke
has decided to give the Dutchman a
rest. There is no truth in the stories
that Honus is seriously injured. He
could be playing, but Abby was go
ing so well that Clarke kept Wag
ner on the bench.
Theodore Breitenstein, “grand old
man” of the Southern Baseball
League, gives out an interview in
which he says that this is his last
season as a pitcher. “I do not think
I have lost my grip as a twirler.”
Breitenstein says, “but I believe it’s
time for me to look for easier work.
( want to get into the outfield.
All over the country there is a
movement on foot to put a stop to
gambling on the ball games. In New
York there are arrests being made
daily, and the same is true in bad
Chicago. in Boston there was so
much said that the police wanted the
license of the National League Ball
Club held up.
At the Buffalo Veledrome, in Paris,
France, Migiet. the French pace fol
lower, met and defeated Bobby Wal
thour, the American cyclist, in a 30-
kilometre motor-paced match. The
time was 24 minutes and 3 1-5 sec
onds.
Some one has suggested picking out
the umpire baiters and bad actors iu
the minor leagues and publishing a
list of them, so they may be followed
about the country, as many of this
style of player work for several
leagues during a season.
The Hoffman bill, relating to Sun
day baseball, which has been advers
ed in the Alabama Legislature, seeks
to amerd the code so that Sunday
ball could be played in coast towns
and cities between the hours of 3 and
6 in the afternoon, it being a move
to help Mobile secure Sunday ball.
The fiist offer-tor the Jeffries-John
son fight came from Nick Aprea, the
president of the Southern Athletic
Club of Savannah. Mr. Aprea offers
$30,000 for the match with a privi
lege of 70 per cent of t lie gross re
ceipts. Aptea says that when the
auto races are combined with the big
fight in March the pugilistic attrac
tion would draw at least SIOO,OOO.
Aprea says he has a ball park under
contract which wil seal at least 30,-
000 people. The promoter is bank
ing ou over 30,000 colored people
attending. It is the intention of Mr.
Aprea to put on a carnival of attrac
tions for the auto week, and Mr.
Aprea has Battling Nelson’s assur
ance that he will box Bert Keyes at
the time providing the Jeffries-John
son match is made and secured for
tho southern club. There is little like
lihood that Mr, Aprea will get the
match, as the limit of rounds in Geor
gia is 25, and although Jeff has no
doubt he can put Johnson away iu
less than that, would hardly consent
to fight on those conditions.
The plans of promoters promise to
make New Orleans a center of pugil
istic interesting during the coming
fall and winter. Present tentative
schedules call for the carrying out
of twenty bouts at the West Side
Athletic Club at McDonoughvllle, La.,
just across the river from New Or
leans.
Booker T. Washington and Jack
Johnson, the intelectual and physical
giants of the negro race, met face to
face at Quinn Chapel in Chicago,
while more than 2,000 colored men
cheered until they were tired. Uhe
educator had come to Chicago to tell
the men of his race to be clean and
strong, talking from the platform,
while the pugilist sat in the front
row, a living example of the doctrine
of health and strength that was
preached.
The Germans are certainly doing
things in baseball. Not so many
years ago the Irish had the call in
the great national game , but the
Dutch have come to the front with
rapid strides. Take the leading bat
ters in the National League, for in
stance: Honus Wagner, Hoblitzel,
Bescher, Zimmerman and Lobert are
among the first twelve, and in that
list there are but three with Irish
names, Donlln, Doyle and McCormick.
If two teams of Germans and Celts
should meet it would be a great strug
gle, and it might not come true that
“it takes the Irish to beat the Dutch.”
The Germans have come to the front
rapidly on the diamond, and have giv
en the lie to the theory that they
are a slow-moving race in athletic
sports. :
Captain John Moren, the rich Pitts
burg boat owner and father of Lew
Moren, the Philadelphia pitcher, de
nied a story that ho had promised
his son SSOO for each game he won
from Chicago in order to help out
Pittsburg in the race. “A tale like
that is sinful,” said Captain Moren.
‘I never promised my son anything
like this. Once when he was doing
well at Philadelphia I sent him a
letter of congratulations and a check
for $500.”

“Oh, you can!”
“Yes. He’s the gentleman with the
