Chicago. September Is. He intends to
try for the broad-jump record
McGraW reaches first base as often
and strikes out as seldom as any man in
the League. He bats left handed and
stands SO close to the plate
that an incurve that goes over
the plate will almost certainly
hit him. This worries the pitcher so
much that bad balls are usually served
to the midget.
Hawke, of Baltimore, has the proud
distinction of being the first League
pitcher this season to shut out a team
without hit in full game The heavy
hitting Washington team was the vic
tim. Hawkes. feat has been duplicated
but once this season, namely by Col

SEVERAL PERSONS SHOT DEAD
Troops Called Out in a Spanish Town to Put
an End to a Riot.

an End to a Riot.
MADRID, Aug. 2S.-The old city of
Saragossa, capital of the province of
that name, was the scene yesterday of
a serious riot growing out of the dissat-
isfaction Of the spectators at bull fight
with the character of the performance
A bull that had been driven into the
ring refused despite the efforts of the
banderilleros to display spirit enough
to make the fight interesting. The
spectators demanded that another bull
be furnished rs a victim for the toreador,
but the managers of the ring refused to
replace the splritless animal. The crowd
III attendance then rose en- masse,
smashed the seats, tore the doors
from their hangings and set fire
to the material which they had
piled in the bull ring. The fire
was extinguished by the bull ring
attendants and the mob then be-
gan to riot outside the bull ring. The
police attempted to dispense them and
were greeted with volley of stones.
It was not until reinforcements arrived
at the scene of the trouble that the
rioters were dispersed. Much difficult
ty was met with in driving the mob off
and many of the rioters were wounded
by the police who had to use their
swords to restore order.
There was also riot last night at San
Sebastian, the well-known Spanish wa
tering place in the province of Guipuz-
Goa. A concert was being given in the
principal promenade of the city and the
audience most of whom were baSqueS,
demanded that the band play the
basque hymn. The leader of the mu-
sicians refused. The mob hooted the
players and then assaulted them.
The police and some of the
audience defended the musicians
and furious riot resulted. The rioters
were driven from the vicinity Of the
band stand but they proceeded in a
body to the hotel where Senior Sagasta,
the prime minister. is staying, and
amused themselves by stoning the
building. The police were unable to
handle the mob and the troops were
summoned to aid them. When the SOL
diers appeared they were stoned by
the mob and many of them were cut
and bruised by the missiles.
An order was then given for the
troops to fire with ball cart
ridges into the crowd of now
frenzied rioters. The order was
promptly obeyed and six of the rioters
fell dead while several of them were Sc
riously wounded The prompt action
of the troops had the desired effect and
the mob quickly dispersed. Through
out the night, however, a close watch
was kept to guard against recurrence
of the trouble.

glimmering. The vote on lower rates

after the train had started Miss Eula
started from her place of concealment
and boarded the train, which was

being thrown under the wheels but

neer opened the throttle and was soon
