Base BALL ut Kewnnee,

EDITORS FREE TRADER The follow.
ing untruthful paragraph l have just
clipped from the columns of your paper:
The Kewanee Base Ball Association will
hold tournament In that city Sept Z, 8, 8
and 10, at which $3.50 in prizes will be
given. There Is one club tnat won't be
dar," and that is the La Sales. Last year
a like amount was put up but the home
management acted SO dishonesty that most
ly all the money went back into the kewa-
nees treasury. Clubs, before entering,
should have strong assurances Of a square
deal, or give the tournament wide berth.
1t Is an utter falsehoold and reflects up.
on the honesty of some of the best known
business and professional men of this city,
and Is even more surprising coming from
the source 1t does. La Sale entered our
tournament last year and left with the third
prize-$35. They lost the first and second
fairly by being defeated by the Kewanee
ane Sheffield mines. Sheffield beat them
by score of Ii to and Kewanee defeated
them by II score of este |, and never before
have we heard of the fairness of those
games questioned, or been told that our
award of prizes was wrong, The Kewanee
club and the Kewanee Association are two
different organizations, neither having
membexs In the other, and not one cent OF
the prizes came back TO us. If we pos
sessed the name OF your informant II
would give us great pleasure to spend a
little money to prove to him that lying is
unsafe.
Trusting that you will give us just treat
ment, am, very truly yours,

THE TURF.
THIRD ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
OTTAWA DRIVING PARK.
4 Brilliant Success.


The third annual meeting of the Ottawa
Driving Park Association began Tuesday
afternoon. The morning opened bright
and sunshiny, with stiff western breeze
which prevailed during the afternoon. The
rain of the night previous made the track
somewhat heavy, and though 1t had been
worked during the forenoon, and at inter
walls during the afternoon, yet 1t was not as
fast by several seconds as anticipated, The
strong wind, in a measure, tended to make
slow time also, but, all obstacles taken
into consideration, the management was
highly pleased at the first days attendance,
and, though more was expected OF the
horses than was really accomplished, all
things seemed to augur first-class meet
ing. The grand stand did not fill up until
about +. NJ, and when about half hour
later the three minute class was rung up,
about 5000 persons witnessed the start OF
the races. The veteran starter, Charles
Smith, of Earyille, acted as starter. The
horse Granite being owned by Earlville
parties, Mr.. Smith asked to be excused
from officiating as judge, giving the audi
ence this as his reason for the request. OF
the ten horses entered in this race but six
started. Texas Girl Won the pole, but lost
it at the first turn Al r., who was the IA
vorite-seling s. to 81 for the tield-took
the lead then and kept it easily, Gen. Sib-
ley next and Gipsey Girl third AL r. won
the heat by four lengths in 3G15, The sec
ond heat was nearly similar to the first.
Texas Girl was interfered with coming
down the half and had to stop. Her driv-
er tried then to run her the next half but
the little mare could not make up the lost
time and would have been shut out but the
judges did not so order it. The run played
the horse out, and she was withdrawn the
next heat. Sibley again tried to outfoot his
opponent, AL r., but the latter had an easy
walk.a.way and passed the wire in 3S,
Gipsey Girl third, No pools would now
be bought against Al r., and he was barred,
Gipsey Girl and Gen. Sibley selling about
even. The favorte was pressed for first
place in this heat all the way round by
Gipsey Girl. Sibley broke badly at the
first turn, and dropped back to fourth place
at the finish Gipsey Girl then took second
place Marquis rot herself pocketed, and
in trying to pull out went in the air, and
had to be content with fourth place. Al Rs
was third coming down the stretch, with
Granite In the lead by three lengths, but
Just near the wire AL r. shot ahead and
won the heat by neck, in Al, getting first
money, General Sibley second, Granite
third and Gipsey Girl fourth.

men. The competing clubs, limited to
five, will doubtless include the La SALES,
Joliets, Kewanees and BloOmingtons and
the home club. If the Reds will manage
the affair honestly, and give visiting clubs

The President had an interview with
the Indian Territory cattle kings, who
came to beg for time until spring to re-
move their cattle from the leased lands,
pleading that there was no place at pres

date removal involved the sacrifice OF
100000 head. But the President was
immovable. lie said their occupancy OF
the Indian lands was breach Of the law
and could not be tolerated . day beyond

Besides, 1t is well known that Texas has
fifty millions of acres Of school lands

the cattle kings, so their saying that they
have no place to go to is oil pretense.

SUMMARY.
Time-2:2614, 2;24l4, 2:23l4

In the 9 40 trot there were IA entries and
starters. AL II. was the favorite in the
pools selling $40 to 80 for the field. The
pole horse Cleo led to the quarter when
Moody passed to the front, and was not
overtaken during the heat. Away back In
the rear Capitola and Cleo were vying with
each other for last place. 1t was close
race between Al II. and Moody, but the lat
ter won by length in 1884. Bohemian
Girl was distanced. Moody won the second
heat Al II. made desperate attempt to
pass the gray, but of no avail, as after clos
ing up the interval he fell back. The La
Sale horse Capitola, who was in sixth
place, passed Cleo and Almeta, and drew
herself into fourth position passing the
wire. The third heat was repetition OF the
second, except that Capitola and Almeta
changed positions, the latter going from
fifth to fourth place. Coming into the last
turn Moody and Al r. broke together, the
latter two lengths behind When near the
wire the latter made a fine squirt of speed,
and had he had another length to 60 would
have won the heat. As it was, Moody won
by head in %

81 VI MARY.

In the 225 pace there were II entries
and 5 starters. The Prairie du Chen horse
Fallon had the pole at the start, Buckskin,
haywood, American Boy and Toledo Girl
| in respective order The favOrlte, Toledo
Girl, sold for S. to 81 for the field. The
latter were in too fast class, for the Girl,
who could easily have made big gap be-
tween herself and the others. AS 1t was,
she won by two lengths in 90 She paced
the heat in fine style, without a skip or a
break, Buckskin second, American Boy
third and Fallon fourth. In the second
heat American Boy forged ahead and cap
tured the pole at the turn, bat was passed
by Buckskin at the half. Coming down
the home stretch there was lively work for
the lead between him, Buckskin and Tole-
do Girl. The latter fell back to third place,
American Boy second. The latter made a
fine squirt, when within few lengths OF
the wire, and managed to poke his nose
ahead, winning the heat amidst much eX-
element In 81 In the third heat Toledo
Cir, sold for $40 against the field, which
brought So. The horses got away evenly,
American Boy kept a good lead until the
home stretch was reached, when Hunt, his
owner, drove him off his feet and he lost
the heat, falling back to last place. At the
hall Haywood, Gene Wormley's Mendoza
horse, passed Buckskin and took the lead
coming home, and it looked as though she
would win the heat. Toledo Girl who was
pacing way back in the fourth position, let
herself out, passing Buckskin and May
wood, and shot ahead like a flash, leaving
haywood quarter of a length behind atthe
finish In .304. 1t was now foregone con-
clusion that Toledo Girl had the race her
own way. The horses went away TO good
start, and on the last half were strung out
In one, two, three order. Toledo Girl took
no chances, but kept the lead to the finish
In 81. haywood, who had new driver
the two last heats, did some pretty good
work getting good second. The result
of the change In drivers brought this horse
from last place In the two first heats to sec
oud In the remaining heats. Had the
change been made earlier, the horse could
have won third money

to have been killed and about one

Rel Pound Guilty.

Louis Riel, the Canadian rebel, who's,
trial had been pending for week, was Oh
Saturday found guilty Of treason and has
been sentenced to be hanged September
18th. The conduct of Riel, however,
throughout the trial, was such as to ex
cite strong sympathy in his favor, and
though the jury, under instructions of the
court, could not do otherwise than FIND
him guilty, they did SO most unwill;ngly
and with eyes filled with tears.

In the 2:34 trot there were eleven entries
and eight starters, Lady Clyde was the
pole horse, the others ranging in this order;
Thistedown, Georgiana, Blue Bull Pilot,
Captain Cook, Ohio Maid, Florence Her
bert, and Dan, who was so unfortunate as
to be distanced the first heat. Thistledown
at once took the lead and had things her
own way during the heat, coming in six
lengths in advance. AT the three quarter
pole Georgiana headed Lady Clyde, who
was a good second Her breaks were not
costly, however, though she had to be con-
tent with third place. Thistledown won
the heat in "a Il. He also won the third
heat in 1924, being little harder pushed
than in the other two heats. Lady Clyde
made the two circuits of the track without
skip or break, and was advanced to sec
ond position, Blue Bull Pilot taking third
place. Thistledown took first money,
Georgiana second, Lady Clyde third, Ohio
Maid fourth.
