A BASEBALL SENSATION.
Did the New York Giants Sell Dat Son
Games?

Did the New York Giants Sell Dat Some
Games?
CHICAGO, Oct. "a reporter for the
Associated Press called on President
James Hart, OF the Chicago club, to-
day, to learn what steps he proposed TAX
ing in regard to the alleged throwing OF
games to the Boston club, in order to
defeat Chicago in the race for the pen
nant. Mr.. Hart said in part:
II do not share the opinion of many
that it was combined effort on the
part of eastern clubs to throw the
championship to Boston. That team OF
late has been playing a strong game and
might possibly have won five straight
from New York on their merits; but it
ia very unfortunate for them
and all concerned that the title
to the penhant shovld be clouded
by suspicious actions of those in control
OF the placing OF the New York team.
From present information and from pri-
vate advlces from Boston, / cannot but
feel there has been either downright dis
honesty on the part OF the New York
club or gross incompetency on the part
of those in control of the team in games
played in Boston,"
Mr.. Hart cited the repeated putting in
of incompetent pitchers and catchers
and takingout of good tielders in the last
two games, making them hopelessly
weak, and said if the New Yorks were so
badly broken up as they claimed, why
did they consent to play two extra games
in Boston, one of which should have
been played in New York. Mr.. Hart
sad he would leave no stone unturned
to probe the matter to the bottom and
place the responsibility where it be-
longs, and that he shall insist upon the
expulsion of the guilty parties, be they
''magnates," managers, captains or

A Father and His Three Children Myste-
riously Drowned.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 3.-The Times
Democrats Corpus Christi, Texas, spe-
cial says: The city was thrown into ex-
element this morning by the finding of
the body of girl IL years old floating in
the bay. 1t proved to be that of Rowena
Hamlin. The discovery revealed the
fact that Horace Hamlin, father OF the
girl, had left his residence at O'Clock
this morning for a walk, accompanied
by his 2-year-old boy and two daughters,
aged IL and Is years respectively.
After the finding OF the first body,
thousands of people assembled at
the wharf, and the bay was dragged.
In a short time the body of his daughter
Helen was brought to the surface, and
soon after the father and the boy. The
poor wife is heart-broken, and cannot
understand the matter at all. She said
he asked her to accompany them on the
walk this morning, but she exc used
herself on the ground of not feeling well.
Hamlin never had any family difficulty,
and the rash act is attributed to his
failure in business and reduced circum-
stances. The wife thinks the drowning
was accidental.

POINTED COMMENTS.

Mckinney was screwed up for race,
while Glendine and Lucy r. trotted
their initial race this season. Both are
to go at San Diego this week, after
which they will be able to give McKin-
ney the race of his life. Lucy r. acted
very we'll in cheats, but she did not
show any of the speed she is known to
possess. She was not quite herself yes
terday, and couple OF races will gear
her up for the bruising race on the
opening day of the Los Angeles meeting.
Glend4ne trotted a good race, and
proved himself to be q game and con-
sistent horse. He too will just be about
right when he strikes Mckinney over
the home track, and Durfee's great four
year-old will have to put in three heats
better than 2:19 to beat him. The
track was yesterday accounted two sec
onds slow on account of the wind.
When this fact is taken in consideration
McKinney's performance yesterday was
no ordinary one. Altogether it was
one OF the best races that
has ever taken place in Cali
fornia, but it will not be a marker
to the 2 20 trot which takes place on the
opening day of the Los Angeles fair. Nc
Kinney, Lizzie f., Richmond, Jr., Glen
dine and Lucy r. come together, and it
is safe to predict that every horseman in
Southern California will be on hand to
see the battle royal between these justly
celebrated horses.
THE TWo-YEAR-OLD TROT.
The only other event at the fair yes
terday was the old two-year-old trot be-
tween DR.. Wise's two-year-old filly AIDE
laide McGregor and Mr.. Rogers colt,
Native State. Adelaide McGregor, driv
en- by Connolly, won in straight heats,
the second being the fastest. Best. time,

She Kept at the Sport Till She Was
Completely Exhausted.
Young Jenny Lerch was stone-bIind for
three weeks. She only recovered her sight
recently, and, as far as doctors wits can
see. it was too much rope-skipping that
brought on the catastrophe.
Jenny lives with her parents at Middle
town, in the northern part of Bucks County.
She has always been gr eat hand at jump
ing the rope, and morning early. evening
Late she was at the sport. 1T happened
three weeks ago." said the father of the
girl. ut was early in the afternoon, and l
was away out in the fields, but my wife was
inside washing.
THE little girls were laughing and play
ing at a great rate when all Of a sudden the
noise stopped, and for whole minute my
wife didn't hear a sound. She went to the
door to see what was the matter. There
was Jenny with her hands on her eyes,
white as a sheet and standing stock still,
and all the other children were watching
from distance as though they were afraid
of her.

they're gone; they're gone; can't see any

then the girls mother rushed out to her and
pulled her hands from her face. There
were her eyelds wide open, but the child
was perfectly blind. And they've been that
way till yesterday"
MIR. and Mrs. Lerch were at loss to know
what to do. DR.. Wilson, the physician near
by, was called in, but the case baffled his
skill. He called upcn brother physician,
who, fortunately. had staying with him

her eyesight will be recovered. Pye heard

Jenny was put in bed and kept perfectly
quiet. Medicine was given to tone up her
system and restore wasted strength. but two
weeks passed without sign of daylight
shining into the apparently dead ewes. DIR.
Ailis was not so hopeful, but he kept up the
same treatment and in time relief seemed
to be coming. The girl was feeling stronger,
and said she saw queer kinds of colors an
her eyes. Sight was coming back.
DR.. Allis pronounced the recovery COM

the other children, apparently as well ms
ever. She hardly appreciated her wonder
