I 1,. A. Now' in Second Place in
I.ensue and Chatham* in Lnst
I’lace.
In a fast and clever game the Y. M.
C. a. team defeated that of the Chat
ham Artillery yesterday afternoon by
the score of 3 to 2, and by so doing
takes the lead in the race of the Tri
i ub Lee #e for the pennant. The C.
L. A.’s are second and the Chathams
last.
The game was played in an hour and
a half, much shorter time than is
usually taken. This was brought
about by the fact that in more than
one inning but three men on each side
laced the pitcher.
In the box Elton had the best of it
so far as strike outs is concerned, for
he secured nine against Barrett’s six,
but on the other hand Elton gave two
men first on balls, while Barrett al
lowed none. In the fielding honors
were about even between the teams,
but the Y. M. C. A. carried off the
batting honors, Blake making a three
tagger and W. Elton a two-bagger,
while none of the Chathams got better
than a single.
The Chathams were first to the bat.
Kayton got to first, but didn’t get much
further for Kelly went out on a bunt
to first, Z. Myers on a fly to third and
Clarke on a foul fiy to the same bag.
The Y. M. C. A.’s in their half of the
inning didn’t do even as well as that
for Blake, the first man up, was out
second to first, Peek was out pitcher to
first, and McConnell retired the side
by striking out.
The scoring on both sides began In
the following Inning. Elton gave
Krenson his base on balls, and with
Sullivan at the bat made a bad throw
to first to catch Krenson. The ball got
by Brewer and the runner made sec
ond. Sullivan struck out, but Raffer
ty made a hit over short and Krenson
scored. Rafferty was tlyown out at
second by Stark, and the side went out
when J. Myers went out on a bounder
from second to first.
The Y. M. C. A. looked to have but
a poor show at scoring in the first
part of their half of the inning, for
Harmon struck out and W. Elton was
thrown out, short to first. Stark put
up a fly that should have been easily
fielded, but because both short and
left field tried for it it was muffed
and the batter was safe at first. Then
Brewer put a nice one to left and two
bags were filled. Pritchard, the next
man up, put a low' fly almost along
the right field foul line and Stark and
Brewer came home.
Pritchard’s hit was so close to the
foul line that many of the spectators
and not a few of the players thought
that it was foul ball, and were Inclined
to question the’umpire’s decision, but
the umpire stuck to his ruling, and the
runs were tallied. J. H. Elton retired
the side by striking out.
In the third inning the Chathams
went out, one, two, three, bqt the Y.
M. C. A.’s had better luck, for Blake,
the first man to the bat, caught a low
one on the tip of his bat and sent it
sailing into right field for three bases.
Peek went out on a fiy to first, but
McConnell, who followed, hit safe to
short and Blake scored. McConnell
stole second, but Harmon hit a fly
to that base, which Sullivan gathered
in and made a double play by catching
McConnell off the bug.
This ended the run getting of the as
sociation boys, but not that of the
Chathams, for in the seventh inning,
which, by the way, was decidedly the
most exciting of the game, the artil
lery boys not only got in another run,
but looked at one time as though they
would score several, quite enough to
cinch the game.
Krenson hit safe over short; Sulli
van went out on a foul fly to catcher;
Rafferty hit to short, and on a bad
throw byOffiat player was safe at first,
while Krenson scored. With Rafferty
on third, J. Myers bit to pitcher, who
held the ball to keep Rafferty from
scoring, and Myers went to second. At
this stage of the game a hit w'ould
have meant two runs and the game,
but that hit wasn’t forthcoming, for
Barrett struck out and Kayton went
out on a bounder,, third to first. This
ended the business, for, after this in
ning, neither side got a man further
than first.
One of the prettiest plays of the
game was made by J. Myers, who
caught a hot liner from Stark's bat in
the sixth inning. Both teams w'ere
strengthened by the addition of the
new players. Rafferty of the Chat
hams showed up very w'ell indeed,
while Harmon of the Y. M. C. A.’s held
down third bag in fine shape. Harmon
is a left handed twirler, as well as in
fielder and probably will pitch the next
game for the association.
The line-up of the teams was:
Y. M. C. A.— Chathams—
Blake 2d base Sullivan
Beck short Myers
McConnell left field Kelly
Harmon 3d base Clarke
Riton, W center field Myers, J.
Stark catch Kayton
Brewer Ist base Krenson
Britehard right field Rafferty
Blton, J pitch Barrett

Itotli Promise To Mak| Tlie Boat
Friday Night a AVnrm One.
Now that the Feltz-Daley bout is a
thing of the past, the patrons of box
ing are looking forward with interast
and pleasant anticipations to the “go”
between Owen H. Zeigler, who calls
himself a Savannahian, and Twin Sul
livan of Boston. These men are
matched to go twenty-five rounds,
barring accidents in the shape of a
knock-out, Friday night.
They will start training to-morrow,
but as both are in good shape, be-,
causa of previous work and contests,
it will take but little work and a
short time to put them in condition
for the mill. Sulllivan probably will
train in Savannah, with the assist
ance of Feltz as a sparring partner,
while Zeigler will work at Thunder
bolt and be helped to get in shape by
Andy Daley.
Zeigler’s record is well known to
Savannahians and when it is said that
Owen has been improved wonderfully
while on his recent trip, that he is in
pretty good trim, as he is, and is de
termined to get in better, the followers
of the game will understand that he
is out to win, and whether he does or
not, will make it decidedly interesting
for his opponent,
Sullivan is less known here, but nev
ertheless has an excellent record.
Among the men he has met are Jim
Judge, whom he beat in 15 rounds;
Patsey Sweeftey, whom he - defeated
twice in 15 rounds each time; Eddie
Connolly, with whom he has one draw,
though he lost to him on a foul in a
second fight, and Charlie O’Rourke to
whom he also lost one fight on a foul
and with whom he afterward fought a
15-roufod draw. With the exception of
these draws and the two bouts lost
because of fouls, he has won every
bout he has taken part in. He expects
to add Zeigler’s scalp to his belt.
The work of training with Sullivan
and Zeigler will help get Feltz and
Daley in shape for their next bout,
which will take place July 1. Tommy
will get down to his fighting weight lor
this bout, and is confident that he'll
turn the cards on his late victor. Daley
thinks otherwise. He stated yesterday
that he had been suffering \v'h rheu
matism in his right shoulder, which
prevented his using the right arm as
freely In the last bout as he is accus
tomed to. Had this not been the case
he thinks that he wojld have scored
a knock-out instead of merely getting
the decision.
YACHT RACE OFF “CASINO.”

The regatta that was to have been
sailed over the Thunderbolt Course
last Sunday, but which was postponed
because of the inclement weather, will
be sailed to-day. Eight yachts are en
tered, the fastest sailers in local wa
ters and with good weather the sport
promises to be unusually good.
In the first race, because of a num
ber of mishaps that happened to sev
eral of the yachts, only two went over
the course, the May B„ which won.
and the Frances R., but as there are
several races yet to be sailed, every
boat still has a good chance for the
cup that will be awarded the boat that
wins the greatest number of firsts.
The balloon ascension at the Casino,
which was postponed from last Sunday
on account of the weather, will take
place to-day at 6:30 o'clock. The as
cension and parachute jump will be
made by "Dare Devil” Douglass, said
to be one of the most skillful and fear

In addition to these attractions there
will be afternoon and night attractions
by the band of the First Regiment, a

THE WESTERN HORSE WON.
JOHN A. DRAKE'S WYETH WINNER
OF CHICAGO DERBY.
The Eastern Favorite* Ron a Ter
ribly Dlnappointing Rnee—Ott* and
Heno Showed to the Front for a
Greater Part of the Dlutanre, But
Were Easily Overtaken by Lyne
° ll W > etli in the Last Furlong.
Chicago. June 21. —Coming with a
sweeping stride through the stretch,
the game colt Wyeth won John A.
Drake his first Derby, and upheld the
traditions of the race by the overthrow
of favorites, and by the Western
horses beating the best that could be
sent from the East.
There is no room for argument about
the best horse winning. The race was
cleanly run and truly won. Heno, the
heavily played Eastern colt, who went
to the post tha favorite at to 1, fail
ed to finish Inside the money, and Pen
tecost and Arsenal ran a terribly dis
appointing race.
The story of the race Is soon told. At
the start Otis and Heno at once
showed in front with Wyeth last.
When half the distance of the race had
been completed Heno and Otis still held
a commanding lead and showed no
sighs of tiring. Bullman seemed to
think the time had come for him to
make his run with Heno. It was a
poor piece of jockeyship. Heno, when
let down, drew away from Otis and
went round the far turh, increasing his
lead until fully three lengths in ad
vance. As they rushed round the last
turn into the straight run for home,
Pleno still had first place, but it was
costing him an effort. With a fur
long still to run, Lyne made his move
on Wyeth. He set the colt down and
the son of Wadsworth and Fonsie came
away past the leaders with little effort,
passing under the wire a comfortable
winner by two lengths. Summary:
First Race—One mile, for 3-year-olds
and up, purse SBOO. Wain-a-Moinan, 2
to 1, won, with Federal, even, second,
and Jiminez, 5 to 1, third. Time

New York, June 21. —On the worst
day that the Tidal stakes for 3-year
olds, worth $20,000, one mile and a
quarter, was ever run, F. C. McLewee

home an easy winner at Sheepshead
Bay to-day on a track that was cov
ered with water by the heavy rains.
Five good 3-year-olds faced the start
er for this event, with Major Dainger
field a hot favorite. Major Daingerfield
raced to the front with Gold Cure sec
ond and Goldsmith third. At the five
eighths pole Gold Cure held the lead
for a few strides, and gradually fell
back, beaten. Shaw, on Major Dainger
field, shook him up a little and he
bounded forward and was soon three
lengths to the good, with Goldsmith
about six lengths in front of Dixie
Line. Major Daingerfield won in a
gallop by five lengths. Summary:

CAROLINA CAMPAIGN QUIET.
"%
No Firework* and Fresco Oratory a*
Yet From Candidate*.
Columbia, S. C., June 21. —The first
week of the campaign for the United
States Senate, congressmen and state
officers, has not been specially inter
esting. The senatorial candidates par
ticularly, seem to find it difficult to
strike the old time stump-speaking
gait, and the audiences which have
been accustomed so long to be enter
tained with a lively show, do not ap
preciate these quiet performances.
With the state candidates Col. Till
man has added a little sptce by his
attack upon Congressman Talbert, who
is running for Governor. Talbert so far
has made no rejoinder, but he will be
obliged to respond in time. Tillman is
rubbing It in that tor 22 years Tal
bert has held remunerative .public of
fices and is giving up a seat in Con
gress to run for Governor. Talbert,
who used to be an alliance lecturer, is
attempting to stir up the old feeling
among the farmers, but without much
evidence of success. So far as the de
monstrations of the small audiences
go, D. C. Heyward is having the best
of the arguments for Governor.

KILLED AT till KGH FESTIVAL.
Negro How nt Colnmbln Ended Fa
tally for Roy.
Columbia, S. C., June 21.—At a late
ltmtr last night there was a general
row in a house in Liberty Hill alley, In
the eastern suburbs, which ended fa
tally for John W. Belton, a 14-year-old
negro boy. A church festival was going
on in the house which was crowded
with both sexes. At the close of the
evening a number of the younger men
and boys went out to go home. In the
crowd were two rival factions, the
Kendalltown crowd and the Liberty
Hill crowd, who are always at war. A
difficulty ensued in which bricks were
thrown at random and pistol shots
filled the air. Suddenly young Belton
fell to the ground mortally wounded.
He was carried home, where he died
later. Several arrests have been made.

A “Fireproof" Clock.
From the London Daily News.
In connection with the late disastrous
fire in the Barbican a queer tale is told
in “The City Press” of a fireproof clock
—a "striking regulator” in more senses
than one. On one of the premises
burned out there was a clock, made
forty years ago for an Indian Prince,
but never sent out owing to its not be
ing completed in time for the contract.
It was left unfinished for sixteen years,
but was then dragged out of obscurity,
completed and cased. For over twenty
years it has been in the possession of
the makers. Its performance as a
timekeeper has been phenomenal; It
has been known to vary only 14 seconds
from rne'.n time in a year. When the
house was entered after the fire the
clock was found still in its place. The
frame was blackened and broken, the
glass smashed, and the casement soak
ed with water, but the old clock was
still going. It was intended for India,
a hot climate, but it has been in a yet
hotter place, and has survived. If it is
a “grandfather’s Clock” it would no
doubt made a serviceable coffin for a
city promoter of “wild cat” companies.
Tobacco Smoke Kill* Germ*.
From the Txmdon Science Siftings.
Added*now to the joys of tobacco
is the knowledge that smoking may
prevent some diseases. Dr. Dumori
has studied the. action of tobacco
smoke upon the various organisms
found that while it has no effect upon
typhoid fever germs or tetanus (lock
jaw) it greatly retards the growth of
the bacilli of Influenza, of diphtheria
and of consumption.

Washington, June 21.—Some note
worthy changes in personalities, so far
as proceedings in the National House
of Representatives are concerned, have
been wrought hy Speaker Henderson
during the last three month*. The up
heaval in the Republican leadership,
caused by the successful campaign of
the opposition Republicans on the Cu
ban reciprocity bill, is responsible for
this in part, but not altogether. Soon
after the leaders were overthrown
Speaker Henderson was credited with
the remark that he would have to take
in a little timber. Whether or not that
remark was made. It represents what
he has been doing.
Out of that overthrow has grown
some gossip about a change in the Re
publican speakership should that party
retain control of the next House. The
name of Representative Shernvm of
Utica, N. Y., one of the best presiding
officers in the membrship of the House
for a decade, has been mentioned.
Mr. Sherman was renominated for an
oother term, nevertheless, it can
be taken for granted, whatever
may be said hereafter that if
the Republicans have a major
ity after March 4 In the popular branch
of Congress, Speaker Henderson will be
elected for another term. It Is a seri
ous undertaking to dislodge a Repub
lican speaker and there is no Repub
lican who would earnestly attempt it.
Dintrllut<N iiin Favom.
In the last few months the Speaker
has been taking a number of promi
nent Republicans to assist him in the
task of presiding. These courtesies are
always highly prized, for It is regard
ed as no mean honor to wield the gavel
over the House for two or three days
at a time. When consideration of im
portant bills is under way. Central and
Western New York Republicans used
to monopolize a large shatie of those
honors under Speaker Reed, hut at
this session of Congress Representative
Sherman Is practically the only New
Yorker who has been thus honored.
He is brought to the Speaker’s desk to
preside in Committee of the Whole
almost invariably when a difficult
question is involved in a pending bill,
requiring a firm and well-posted pre
siding officer.
The member who has come most rap
idly to the frqnt in the Speaker's esti
mation as a presiding officer is Repre
sentative Harlln E. Olmsted of Har
risburg, Pa. He is very conversant
with paliamentary law, and time and
again this session has been asked to
assume the gavel when there were
prospects that the wild colts would
rear and attempt to take the bit in the
teeth. Mr. Olmsted is the Speaker's
personal and intlm/ite friend. It has
also been noticed that within the last
month or so several of the new mem
bers of the House have been asked to
preside when in Committee of the
Whole. Asa general thing new mem
bers are barred from this honor, but
the Speaker has picked two or three
from the Tantilus Club, an organiza
tion of new Republican members who
have shown considerable adhesiveness
and therefore some promise as po
litical factors in the management of
House matters. "Sam” Powers of
Massachusetts, president of this Tan
tilus Club, has been called to preside,
as has Col. “Kit” Haskins of Brattle
boyough, Vt., long speaker of the Ver
mont House and intimate friend of
Rudyard Kipling during the author s
residence in the Green Mountain
State.
Opposition Men Selected.
Three of the foremost opposition Re
publicans in the Cuban reciprocity
fight have been called to the chair to
preside of late, which demonstrates a
desire for conciliation. Representa
tive Littlefield of Maine, the successor
of Nelson Dingley, has bepn thus se
lected two or three times on important
occasions and proved that he is a
very strong man to take the gavel In
hand and that with a little more ex
perience as to parliamentary action
he will rank with Representative
Sherman of New York, Tawney of
Minnnesota and William Alden Smith
of Michigan, two other so-called beet
sugar Republicans, who have been put
in the chair to preside recently.
Mr. Grow Never C'nlleil on.
Neither Speaker Henderson nor
Speaker Reed ever called ex-Speaker
Grow, the only member who ever
served through the Civil War period
now in the House, to wield the gavel,
which has often been the subject *f
comment. But Mr. Grow is a very
old man and was familiar with
House proceedings at a date when
they differed widely from the present.
Mr. Grow has been a member at large
from Pennsylvania for the last six
years. He will go out of Congress
March 4, as Pennsylvania has been
redistricted.
Prefer the Old Wool lint.
The headgear of members by no
means conforms to the well-regulated
usages of society. Many are still
averse to the stylish silk tile and pre
fer an old wool hat instead. Of such
is Representative Richard S. Minor
of Sturgeon Bay. Wis, a sturdy Re
publican who was born In Jefferson
county. New York.
“Five years ago, when McKinley
was first elected,” said Mr. Minor in
the House cloak room the other day,
”1 felt pretty good, as did many
others. I had never worn a silk hat,
but Mrs. Minor and I went down
town and I purchased a full Prince
Albert rig. Including the latest style
of silk hat. That evening several
friends gathered in my Washington
residence and I thought I would sur
prise them by appearing in my new
togs, so I put on my Prince Albert
coat and covered my head with my
new hat. As I came down the stairs
my little 9-year-old daughter caught
sight of me: ‘Papa,’ she exclaimed
‘whose coach are you going to drive
to-night’ That was too much for me.
I boxed that hat up and sent it out
to Wisconsin, where It has remained
ever since. This wool hat is good
enough for me.”
—Take Example.—Customer (at a
restaurant)—"Can I see the proprie
tor?” Waiter—“Very sorry, sir. but
he’s Just stepped out to lunch.”—Judge.
