nightmare it was! The Atlanta

of deaf and dumb mutes at a prayer_
meeting. They took their turn at

located their positions when Mont

But it requires tnore than me

CHANCE READY TO QUIT
JOB AS CUBS’ MANAGER
ST LOVIS. July B.—The collapse of
Manager Frank Chance, of the Chicago
Cubs, during the first game of the double
header with the Cardinals, at Robison
field, last Thursday, may mean the per
manent retirement of the “Peerless Lead
er" as manager of the once famous base
ball machine Tie became so 111 during
the matinee that he moved to the South
ern hotel.before the games were finished,
and Thursday evening departed for Chi
cago, chaperoned by Mordecai Brown.
According to a certain member of the
Chicago baseball party who was here with
the team, there was a whole lot of truth
to the report from the East during the
Cubs' stay there that Chance had in
tended retiring from the game. While the
team was in Brooklyn he was affected in
a similar manner, and it was rumored
that he was thinking of quitting baseball
and going to his orange ranch in Cali
fornia.
Later this rumor was denied, but the
fact that Chance was unable to stand the
heat and baseball excitement during
Thursday's first game would Indicate
that he is about through as a baseball
skipper.
PHONE CLICKS SO FAST

tomatic telephone by handbook operators
ba? greath increased this form of 'gam

Chief of Police Schuetler, The difficuUy
of rhe police in locating these phones
through listening on the wires is the rea
son for it The fact that there is no
operator as in the case of the other
phones, leaves the police to make prac

ONCE KING OF JOCKEYS.
NOW DYING IN POVERTY
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., July B.
Willie (‘‘Monk") Coburn, once greatest
of jockeys, idol of the turf and rider for
King Edward VII, is dying, penniless,
in this city.
Up to a few days ago he was a pub
lic charge, an inmate of the tubercular
ward of the city and county hospital.
But his mother moved him to her hum
ble home at 966 Pine street. She want
ed to save him the humility of spend
ing his last few days a pauper and pub
lic ward.
Physicians attending him say he 'can
not possibly live another month.
Coburn In his heyday was one of the
greatest jockeys who ever .threw leg
over a race horse. At Emeryville he
was given his first mount by “Tommy"
Lottridge. He rode a horse named Feb
ruary. February was 100 to 1, but in
that first race "Monk" Coburn showed
there were few jockeys around that
track who were his equal. In a des
perate finish, February won, and John
ny Rieff, who rode the derby winner in
England two weeks ago. had been out
ridden by the exercise hoy. "Monk" Co
burn.
Then up the ladder of prosperity Co
burn literally flew. Every horse owner
wanted him to ride, and his engage
ments were booked far in advance.
Coburn's reputation spread to Eng
land. He' was induced to go there,
and in a short time was riding under
the colors of King Edward of England.
It is said King Edward VII took a.
great fancy to Coburn and showered
him with gifts. ' The lad's pictures were
in the magazines and he was the idol of
the hour. Coburn made several thou
sands of dollars and spent the money
just as rapidly and as easily as be
made it.
But weight began creeping on the
“Monk." He often had to go to the
Turkish baths to reduce. He had to
take long runs. All this was weakening i
him, Then the cough—"a mere noth- i
ing." he said at first, "just a cold." But '
tuberculosis had settled in his lungs. 1
His strength began to fail. No longer I
had he the firm hold on the bridle —his I
hands had lost their cunning.
A few weeks ago "Monk” Coburn
draggde himself back to his old home- '
San Francisco. His mother was the only
one who greeted him at the Ferry j
building. His friends of earlier pros- '
perity were not there. Those men he I
had clinked glasses with had forgotten
him.
"Monk" is only 29.
