AN EVENTFUL GAME.

Two Local Players Badly Hurt-TOm
Brown and Hurst.
Yesterdays game with the St. Louis team
was crowded with incidents. The most seri-
Gus and the only lamentable one was the
collision of Selbach and Scheibeck in the
seventh inning, when both ran to catch
Dowd's fly to short left field. A couple of
boards were pulled from the Freedman's
Hospital fence and they were taken into
the hospital, where their cut faces were
bandaged. Subsequently they returned
from the hospital unaided, but wearing
large bandages over their wounds. Setback
may return to the field today, but Scheibeck
is likely to be laid up for some time. A
player when running for a fly usually calls
out, Il have It," and the other pauses. In
this case it is evident that each thought
the other was going to stop. The only safe
way Is for one to call out.
Tom Brown, the fleat-fcoted base runner,
appeared in center field and disposed Of
his chances there easily. He has been put
at the top Of the batting list, which Is good
Tim Hurst, although late, arrived in time
to umpire, as had been promised No one
has ever questioned Hurst's ability as an
that provoked opposition. After all, it is
the players who make and unmake umpires.
Breitenstein took f1cDougalrs place In
the fourth inning when the bases were full
and no one was out. Only one run was
subsequently, earned. Breltenstein was poor
ly supported. 1t is no wonder the Browns
SO low in the list.
The visitors began hammering Mercer in
the eighth and scored three runs, but dark
ness was again friendly to the home team,
and for the third time the game was called
back and Washington escaped on tie.

Outsiders Being Taken Into the
Athletic Club Contests.
LONDON, August 29.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette says: THE London Athletic Club
team is largely made up of outsiders. only
four bona fide members having arranged
to go to America. This sacrifice of the
best traditions of the club has caused great
surprise here. 1t is obvious that some of
the champions who are members of this
team are not socially qualified to become
members of the London Athletic Club.
This action is injurious to the cause of
athletics and has done much to reduce the
interest which Englshmen have been
taking in the coming contests in America.
By announcing that this team is to be the
one selected to take part in the contests
for the championship, the London Ath-
letic Club virtually compelled the New York
Athletic Club to follow its lead. The mem
bers of the New York Athletic Club are very
wealthy and they are now practically buy

AZOTE'S GREAT RACE.
Fastest Heat Ever Trotted at Fleet
wood Park,

The third day of the Grand Circuit meet
ing at Fleetwood Park yesterday was the
best days racing that the harness horse
devotees of New York have seen in years.
The weather was perfect for racing the
track in superb condition and the attend
ance quite coed, there being fully 1000 peo-
pie present. The card was a strong one
but the chief attraction, of course, was the
great free-for-all trot for $1,000 purse in
which We're three cracks of the year
Azote, the unbeaten; Beuzetta, who trotted
fourth heat at Buffalo in 2.06 3-4, and the
sterling campaigner, klamath, 2.US L.
Azote was, very properly the favorite,
and he won, but only after trotting one of
the greatest races on record, Beuzetta beat
ing klamath for second money
The first heat was wen in 2.G9 H. second
in 2.0o IL, the fastest heat ever trotted at
Fleetwood and the fastest ever trotted by
a geldng; third in 2.O7
Azote was bred by the late Senator Lee
land Stanford at his Palo Alto farm, Menlo
Park, Cal.
After the second heat of this race the
handsome mare BeuZetta was bought from

MONEY IN WIND.
One Man Finds the Gusts of Chicago
to BE n First-Ratc Thing.

One Man Finds the Gusts of Chicago
to BE u First-Ratc Thing.
From the Chicago Tribune.
It's an i'll wind that blows nobody good
and the breeze that makes travelling on an
elevated road such relief after trip on
a street car is blowing good living to one
man in Chicago. This man was on an
elevated train early in the summer. Like
several of the other passengers he wore a
straw hat A cooling wind was blowing
and the passengers kept their heads near
the windows to get the full benefit of It,.
AS the train pulled out of station there
came a quick gust which lifted the pas
sengers straw hat from his head and,
though he made desperate effort to catch
1t. sent it sailing out the window. 1t was
gone beyond recovery and the only thing
the man could do was to wait until he
reached the end of the line and buy a new
one. AS he left the car and walked bare
headed down the platform he saw another
man without a hat and soon found that
they were companions in misfortune. AS
they began descending the steps leading
to the street they passed a guard, who
asked:
Ibid the wind blow your hat away"
yes" answered the bare-headed man.
Does 1t happen often?"
Dozens of 'em lose their hats every
day." was the reply.
That set the man thinking. Then he
hunted for a hat store; there wasn't one
within two blocks. Then he saw his way
clear to make money. The next day he
had rented a small store directly at the
foot of the stairs leading from the elevated
terminal. Within twenty-four hours he had
1t stocked with summer hats. He had to
pay a good round sum for rent but he
found he had a trade that justified 1t. If
could
wear straw hat and ride on the elevated
road.
