A MURPHY FINISH.
Why Baldwin Swallowed His Chew OF
Tobacco.
From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.

From the ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
Two years ago Baldwin's horse volante was
to run one day at Saratoga and Baldwin called
Murphy up to the grand stand and said:
Now, look here, Murphy, / don't want any
monkeying about this race-none of your SEN
sational finishes. You just cut the old horse
loose and send him along from the fall of the
flag to the finish. I've got lot Of money on
this race and don't want to be worried about
the result
Murphy showed his white teeth in a smile OF
acquiescence, and then in a low tone informed
the ladies in Baldwins party that he would
make the old man faint away" When the
flag fell Murphy pulled Volante back to fourth
place and held him steady around the first turn:
down the backstretch the leaders flew. with
Murphy trailing along quietly On Volante as
though he was out for a pleasure ride. Bald
win began totick, and bit off big chunk of to-
bacco and began to chew at a tremendous rate
AS the horses rounded the lower turn and en-
tered the stretch Murphy began moving up
inch by inch, but it seemed an impossibility for
him to reach the leaders. but he did. and one
by one they surrendered until when within
hundred feet OF the wire Volante had dis
posed OF all but one. Then with magnl fcent
exhibition OF Workmanship Murphy fairly
lifted his mount up to even terms and in the
last bound landed Volante winner by a nose
or. as the sporting fraternity term it, ''by an
eyelash." Before the jockeys dismounted
baldwin turned to a member of the party and
said: George. | wish you would get these Vo-
lante tickets cashed and bring the money down
to the hotel for me. I'm going home right
away, don't feel well. Some fellow swallowed
a chew of tobacco which had in nv mouth
when that black devil made that close finish. ."

A NEW GAME.
An Exercise That May Become Popu-
lar This Summer.
From the London Field.

From the London Field.
Mr.. J. D. Horn of Leicester has added new
game to the already long list that has been
placed before the public during the last few
years. In lawn crooketta there seems to be the
| elements of success, as players will find plenty
of skill necessary, and also there is a certain
| amount Of exercise required. This. however,
is by no means so violent one sees in u game
OF lawn tennis, SO to many this will prove a
great attraction.
The game can be played on grass or gravel,
or, indeed, on any hard substance while il ia
| not necessary that the courts should be always
OF the same shape or size, SO that, in this re-
spect, 1t will suit grounds that might not
always be available should the same size
court be sine qua non. The implements re-
CURED for the gamo are not many, being four
crooks. four standards. net and six balls. The
crooks are fee: 6 inches long, having the
appearance OF an elongated lawn tennis racket
very loosely strung; indeed. the baggy part of
the racket is nearly inches deep. The STAN
dards, 3 feet inches, with cupped tops, are
placed SO as TO form 6.foot square, the net
feet inches high, inclosng this space. The
balls IN use for the game are Az inches in di-
ameter, four. called sentinels to be placed in
the cups on the standards and the remaining
two being the play balls. The service lines
are 80 feet long and are placed IL feet away
from each side of the inside square called the
fold and then the court is made complete by
joining the fold corners to the service line COR
ners.
Two or four players can take part in lawn
crooxetta, the greater number appearing to us
TO enhance the interest shown in the game.
Inc principal part of the play consists in plac-
Ing one OF the balls in the crook and then
standing outside the service line serving the
ball so that it shall pass over the fold and fall
IN your opponents court without his catching
II; or you may displace one of the sentinels on
the standards, but taking care that your ball
shall still drop in the adversarys court
The game Is scored by points, one, two
three or four called knave, queen. king and
an ace respectively, can be made from each
service, while so or 100 points constitute a
game, according to whether a long or short
ourselves We had seen it well played by some of
the team of lady cricketers who are now show
ing such great form with the bat and in the
field.

a Wonderful Pool Shot.

From the New York sun
A remarkable shot was made in a game of
pool in the Astor House billiard room the other
evening. 4 light red ball was resting in from
Of one OF the corner pockets. 1t was close to
the pocket and looked tempting. A large, fat
man with a shining bald head was playing in
the game. When his turn came he took care
full aim, slid his cue back and forth two or three
times. and then sent the cue ball hard at the
red. To his intense amaZement the red ball
few ten feet into the air. came down on the
head of a mild-looking old gentleman who was
watching the game, bounced from his head to
the floor and went hopping across the room as
II it was bewitched The cue ball passed on
into the pocket The fat player was so aston
ished that he dropped his cue on the floor,
opened his mouth and eyes to their widest ex-
tent and leaned against the table for support.
Then he gasped, We'll. I'll be swizzenedr'
and went and sat down heavily in a chair
The other players and lookers-on were greatly
astonished. too and when the matter was ex-
planned they were vastly amused. The bail
was o sume rubber composition and looked
exactly IKE n regular pool ball. 1t had been
slvly put III front of the pocket by practical
j0ke.. He said that the deceptive balls could
be bought in nearly any sportng-goods store
and that they were selling like hot cakes.

WILL THE SENATE PASS 1T?
The Doubt Hanging Over the Federal
Election Law.

Both parties are now going to work TO try TO
awaken popular sentiment on their respective
sides with relation to the federal election
BILL with the view Of influencing the Senate.
1t will be impossible to get the bill
through the Senate if the previous question"
is not applied and there are many Of
the Senators who are s.icklers for the tradi-
tions of the Senate who are violently opposed
to such an innovation as the cutting off Of de-
bate. An eminent republican Senator said the
other day that he hoped he might not live to
see the debate in the Senate cut off by the
previous question.
Mr.. Dingley said to a STAR reporter today
that he believed the bill would pass the SEN
ate. Senators, he said, may think now that
they will oppose it, but when the time comes
there will be evidence of a popular demand
for the bill such as they cannot resist.

How She Raised $4,000.

NEW YoRK, July Miss Nettie Clark of a
well-known family of Providence, RI, and a
leading belle of that city, was arraigned
today at jefferson ,, Market police
court, charged with forging the name
of Joseph l.. Tourtellot, q retired mill owner
and an intimate friend of the prisoners family
to a check drawn OH the Mechanics Bank Of
Providence for $4,000. The cashier knowing
both families cashed the check and Miss Clark
started for the city, where she was arrested.
Part of the money was found i'll her possession

dence. She pleaded guilty and was remanded
to await the arrival of officers from Providence
