WON ON 4 FOUL.
Six Fierce Rounds Between Grace
and Clark.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Between and
60 'clock this morning Jack Grace, of
Brooklyn, and Billy Clark, of Chicago,
fought six hot rounds, which lasted %
minutes, on the second floor of a road
house on the jamaica Plain road. The
fight was for purse of 800 and an out
side stake. 1t was awarded to Clark on
a foul. About seven ty-five sporting
men witnessed the fight. The con-
test was most bitter one.
Grace did all the leading,
and was awarded first blood in the
first round. He smashed the stomach
of his adversary whenever he pleased,
and used his right with good results on
the head. At the end of the third round
both men were very much weakened
from hard fighting. Grace feuled in
the fourth round and was cautioned
that, upon a repetition, the fight would
be given to Clark. In the fifth and sixth
rounds Grace had it all his own way.
The betting was $50 to $50 in his favor.
Clark was almost done for at the
call of time at the close of the
sixth round, when Grace, who had
evidently not heard the timekeeper's
call, walked over to Clark's corner and
punched him. Clark's seconds claimed
a foul, and he was given the fight. The
trainers and hackers wrangled over the
referees decision, and Flahertv, trainer
for Grace, demanded that it be changed.
The referee declined to do so, and
Flaherty grabbed him and gave him
terrible humping. The referee broke
away, and was driven rapidly away in

A COAT OF WRITEwAsH.
The Kansas City Team Unable to
Score.

Yesterday was field-day for Charles
Janus Reilly. He had his batting suit
on and gave such an exhibition of willow
welding as is seldom seen. lie went to
bat five times, making two singles and
two home runs, six of st. Paul's ten tai
lies resulting from his lively stick work.
The fielding of the home team was also
very fine, Morrissy, Corbett, kemmler.
Pickett and Reilly doing most of the
work. SoWderS was unusually eff
1ective, only three hits being
made off him and no runs were scored.
Mccarthy, on the other hand, was
pounded hard in the fifth. sixth, seventh
and ninth innings, and his support at
dimes was eXecrable. Ardner, however,
made pretty stop and throw. and the
double by HaSamaer and Ardner was
neatly executed. The game was desper-
ately contested for three innings, both
sides getting men on bases and one in
each team being put out at the plate,
but nobody scored. st. Paul broke the
tee in the fourth, when REYNOLDS muffed
Pickett'S third strike and threw wild to
catch the runner at second, allowing
him TO reach third, whence he scored on
Reilly'S hit to left. In the next
inning. after S0wderS had been retired,
Murphy hit one to second too slow to
field, and got to second on Carroll's out.
MOrrissy drove the ball to Long, who
Fumbled it, Pickett pounded the ball
out to Manning, who let it get by him,
and Patton aud Reilly followed with
singles, the result being four talles.
In the sixth HaSamaer'S mutf gave Cor
bett life, Kemmler made a hit and
Sowders got first on Cartwright's failure
to stop his grounder. Murphy hit to
center and Corbett scored, but
Kemmler was nipped in his at
tempt to get home. Carroll made
a short hit, and things looked promis-
ing, but a double on MorrisSy's fly cut
off the runs. Patton accepted base OH
balls in the seventh, and Reilly sent the
sphere out into the swamp over the left
fence. In the ninth Pickett opened
with a hit, took second on Patton's out.

the wall. For Kansas City Long was.

CatahouIa's Wild Girl.

One day last week two strangers
passed through Trinity on foot, having
travelled from Alexandria. They gave
a thrilling account of a meeting held
with the wild girl of Catahoula, near
Hemp's creek. They say she is one of
the most Notwithstanding beings
that the human eye was ever cast upon.
Ihey stopped to ask her a few queS-
tons, but could not get nearer than
fifty feet. She is as fleet as deer, and
at one leap she cleared a root seven feet
high. She uses no language, only glib
berish.
Her arms are long, brawny and mus
cular. She appears to be about six
Teen years of age, and has
kind of limp when walking. They
could not get near enough to distin-
guish whether she had a deformed
foot. She had an old knife, which they
say was about eight inches long, which
height about four feet six inches, and
would weigh about 125 or 40 pounds,
with no surplus flesh. These gentle
men say that in that neighborhood they
gave the information, and that no one
seems to know anything about the girl.
The men say they would not sleep in
the woods near where they saw the girl
Tor all that was in the parish. They
think she can conquer any three men in
the neighborhood. She has immense
eyes, and her hair hangs to her waist,
and is of beautiful brown. A great
many who have heretofore doubted the
existence of this girl are now convinced
that it is truth, the information COM
ing. as it did, from two men who had
never been in the parish before.
A committee of fifteen men. with pro-
visions for two weeks, will be organized,
and steps will be taken to capture her.

My wife was visibly agitated over the

That was my helpless question.

would be kissing and gambling, and a

pretense would be lie, but lie of such

have the courage to deny.
The cars were full of gay young men

girls and the gay girls ogled back.
Once I would have found it very droll,
but this time-no!
Before we reached the market we saw
its glowing lights. We almost felt its
heat. We surely caught the scent of
fruits above the gutter smells. There
was great glare everywhere about the

In summer odd corners of these

locals. Shenkel pitched an excellent
game, the visitors getting only three
hits Off him. Smith was hit freely by
the home men. In the first inning
Shafer, who was the first man at the
bat, was hit in the head by the fourth
ball pitched. 1t was a terrible blow
and the batter, Shafer, fell like log.
He got up after few moments and
wanted to thrash Shenkel, but was held
back by the crowd. He had a hole the
size of quarter in his head and had to
retire from the game. Milwaukee sized
up Pitcher Smith in the second inning,
and, after two men were out, McAleer,
Shenkel, Mills and McCabe each made
hit in succession, which earned two
runs. Des Moines tied the score in the
third on hits by Smith and Holiday. an
unaccepted chance by Lowe and Nc
Aleer and a sacrifice. Milwaukee then
forged ahead. Holiday made one in
the ninth on double Dagger and Nc
Cabe's error. MaculIar was fined SIS

BUT THE BURGLAR GETAWAY
How Capt. ReilIy's Daughter
Spoiled Her Father Clever Cap

@AO" ONPos
Spoiled Her Father Clever Cap
ture.
Capt. Tom" Reilly, the genial colfi-
mander of the Nineteenth precinct, who
is spending his vacation with his family
at Lake Aunt Katrina, way up in Ulster
county, had an unpleasant experience
last Wednesday night.
The captain is stopping at the Aunt
katrine house, kept by 3. r. Martin, on
the edge OF the lake. The house is iSO-
lated, but being always crowded with
guests, the Loneliness is unknown. and
the isolation is one of its chief attrac-
tions, says the New York Herald
Last Wednesday night, after the
guests had retired. Capt. Reilly was
awakened by his daughter, who raped
softly at his door and cried, "Papa,
there is burglar in the house. l hear
him."
The captain arose and stole quietly
down stairs. In the dining-room he
saw light, anda man hurriedly placing
the hotel silver in bag. The captain
was the only man in the house, and he
prepared to give the burglar Nine
teenth precinct surprise party"
And he did it.
With Que bound he cleared the room
and had the burglar by the throat. But
the latter was not to be caught so easily,
and made a desperate resistance,
but without avail, for the cap
taIn's grip was ON his throat to
stay. The doughty captain and the
burglar fought all over the room, and
the captain had decidedly the best of it
when his daughter, fearing that the
captain might be hurt, ran in, and
throwing her arms around him, discon-
certed the captain for moment and he
loosened his grip.
The burglar was not long in taking
advantage of the unexpected release,
and with clean jump he went head
first through window onto the lawn of
the hotel.
The captain gave chase, and also
jumped through the window, but only
to hear the wheels Of wagon driven
rapidly away.
i The captain was thoroughly dis
gusted, but had to make the best of the
disappointment. He was glad to find,
however, that the burglar had taken
nothing with him. but had left his bag
for the captain to preserve as me-
mentO of his moonlight adventure.

conduct and ill-treatment by his wife, so

An interpreter was secured, to whom
Hagel repeated his story.

''He says" remarked the Interpreter.

with the judge and she would see to it
that he was we'll punished"
Mrs. Hagel denied point blank that
she had ever made such an assertion.

anyhow" said Justice Kersten. ii
