ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
LOUISVILLE, May 13-The following sum-
mons was sent to James Palmer, President of
the Western Bookmakers' Association, by
Colonel NJ. Lewis Clark, President of the Lou
lsville Jockey Club, to-day: tYou are hereby
summoned TO appear before the Executive
Committee of the Louisville Jockey Club, at
their Office in this city, tomorrow morning,
at o'clock, to show cause why your
association should not be ruled off the track
for endeavoring to prevent bookmakers from
going on our track, and other causes" W. II.
Landeman, Secretary of that organization,
also had a similar document served on him.
The cause of the action of the club is a belief
upon their part that conspiracy against the
Louisville Jockey Club by the Western Book
makers Association is going on, and they pro-
pose to sift the matter to the bottom.
The bookmakers say they are ready to meet
on any ground. but many believe if the Louisville
Jockey CLUB force a fight that other Western
associations will take it up and it will not
be long before the sounding of the death
knell of the bookmakers' organization. The
matter is being freely discussed in circles
where it is already known, and from present
prospect it will be the food for the turf gossip
here at least for several days.

NO BALLOT REFORM FOR HIM.
Governor Hill Once More Vetoes the saxton
Electoral Bill.

ALBANY, May Ex-Governor Hill to-
day vetoed the so-ealled Saxton electoral
reform bill on the grounds: first, the re-
quirements that none but an officially
printed ballot shall under ordinary cIrcum-
stances be voted; second, the requirement
that each ticket shall contain names of all
parties, and irresponsible combinations pre-
tending to be party, who choose to certify
that they have made nomination.
The Governor says these provisions are
cumbersome, would be ineffective, and are
unconstitutional.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 THE D1sPArcH.

BOSTON, May 13.-The ball tossers from
the Smoky City came to the Hub to-day
and undertook to give the bean-eaters few
points about baseball, but, although they
put up strong game, it was not strong
enough to carry them to victory. Manager
Phillips showed the people at the Hui, how
ever, that he had team of hustlers, and it
was only good playing that kept the Bostons
from taking longer lead. Three thousand
five hundred people welcomed the visitors,
and the attendance would have been large
but for the cold east wind that kept all but the
dyed-in-the-wool cranks at home.
Billy Nash took his old place at third base,
his nose having resumed its natural size. The
fracture is not yet healed, but Nash is too

his services are needed, and they were needed

The fact that Manager Hartput his strongest

crossed the plate on the final squirt only two
points ahead. 1t looked as though the Bostons
would have an easy time up to the third in
ming, but the tide turned against them after
that inning and they had to hustle to save
themselves from defeat.
The Bostons were the first to take up the
stick and they used it with good effect in the
first inning. Staley pitched good ball and re-
sorted to all the arts known to the twirler, yet
the Boston sluggers sized him up for three hits,
which with three errors yielded three runs.
Brown opened the game with neat single to
right and johnson followed with another to
left. Staley grew nervous at the thought that
he might lose the lose tie ball over the fence
so he accommodated the high-priced Michael
with base on balls Then big Dan Brouthers
sh we'd his right to the rank of leader of the
League by landing the ball safe in the field and

KELLY DANCED ABOUT.

He danced about until Brouthers started for
second and then, as Foghorn Miller threw the
ball Kelly started for the plate. If Miller's
throw had been accurate the chances are that
Kelly would have been out but as the ball was
widely thrown the third run was scored for
Boston.
In the third inning there was another season
of run getting for the home nine. After Kelly
had retired on an easy bounder to Dunlap.
Brouthers increased his average by getting IN
another single to right field Richardson made
q good attempt 20 advance him, but Hanlon,
the Invincible, was in center field, and Hardie
retired in confusion. Staley took pity on Nash
and gave him four bad balls 1t was a case of
into remote portion of the right field, and in
creased the Boston's lead to five This scared
the visitors little, and they took counsel how
they might put an end to that style of playing
Miller, Smith and Dunlap did some good work
in the fourth inning, and the onward career Of
the Bostons was checked for the time being.
In the fifth one more run was added to Boston's
score by means of two singles and passed
ball, making the score to
THEY STARTED TO BAT.
But it did not long remain in that ratio.
When the visitors went to the bat in their half
of the sixth inning they took their liveliest
bats with them, and the result was two earned
runs, Smith struck out. Then Staley hunted
the ball and reached first in safety. Billy Sun
day made his second hit of the game, neat
drive lust beyond short, and both men were
safe. Hanlon advanced both by his heroic
sacrifice to Brouthers, relying upon Beckley to
bring them home. The sturdy first baseman
shouldered the responsibility, and corking
hit to center field did the work. When the
eighth inning arrived the Pittsburgers took
another lease of life and added three runs to
their score, thereby making the bean-eaters
feel decidedly uncomfortable. Quinns fun
BILE gave deet-footed Sunday his base, and
Hanlon could not advance him any. Beckley
came to the rescue once more with another
single, and Dunlsp's sacrifice grounder to
Richardson prevented a double play. Miller
puncvured hole in the sky with fly and Mr..
Kelly was so interested in looking at the hole
that he dropped the ball. Result two runs.
Then Maui took brace and banged the ball
for such long single into center field that
Miller reached the plate by q lively sprint from
first That made the score to in favor of
Boston. It was too close for comfort and the
BOstons added Tone more to their score on a
single two sacrifices and wild throw by Beck
ley to shut of Kelly at second. Kelly would
have scored on that throw If Hanlon had not
shut him off at the plate by a mighty throw
that raised shout of approval. The visitors
were quickly retired in the ninth. Score:

Dr.' Hammond ON Cigarettes.

Dr. Hammond ON Cigarettes.
Few men have better claim to be
heard, on questions of health, than DR..
Hammond, of New York. Read his
opinion as to the I" Horrors of Cigarette
Smoking
No speedier method for rendering ex-
istence painful is more efficacious than
to smoke cigarettes and to inhaie the
fumes into the lungs. BY this practice
very large absorbing surface is ex-
posed to the action of the nicotine and
other poisonous products which are
evolved when tobacco is burned. As o
consequence, the system is more thor
oughly subjected to their influence and
disease more certainly produced. The
action of the brain is impaired thereby,
the ability to think and, in fact, all men,
tai concentration is weakened. Neu-
ralgia, especially about the face. throat
diseases, he sal catarrh, serious affections
of the eyes, dyspepsia, and, above all,
interruption in the normal action of the
heart, are among the consequences re.
sulting from the inordinate use of to-
bacco and especially from the inhalation
of cigarette smoke. This is not mere
theory, for have seen many cases OF
all these disorders 10 the course of my
practice as physician. and have known
them to be directly traceable to the cause
mentioned. Laws for the repression of
cigarette smoking by young persons are
difficult, If not impossible, OF enforce
ment. Tt can be prevented only through
the proper education of parents and
guardians and the children themselves.

Fire In soiebury. Pa.

Fire la Sotebury, Pa.
Last Friday night, between II and 10
O'Clock, large new barn on the farm OF
Casper Kaufman, in Solebury township,
near New Hope, was discovered to be on
FIRE, and before any assistance could be
rendered the building and contents were
entirely destroyed. Nineteen head of
cattle, four horses, q number of pigs and
several chickens were burned to death.
Mr.. Kaufman succeeded in getting one
horse out of the stable, which has since
become blind. A lot of machinery, In
Gliding mowers, reapers, SC, were de-
stroyed, and lot of hay, straw and corn
stalks were consumed by the fire. The
loss is heavy, partly insured. The cause
of the fire is not known. An alarm was
sounded in this city, to which our fire de.
partment as we'll as that of New Hope,
responded, but on learning the distance
and the Roadway the flames had gained,
concluded it was useless to proceed fur
Their, and therefore returned TO their
houses. The burning barn lighted up
the country for miles around, and IN this
city the light was SO strong as to lead
many to believe the FIRE was right In our
midst.
