He doesn't care how low or high
The mercury has got.
And even when it's mid-July,
He hardly knows it's hot.

Regardless of the heat.

Dog WHIPS CatamOunt.

There was an exciting fight last
night between Tige, a brindle bulldog,
owned by Portsmouth, man, and
catamount, owned by aBracken Coun-
ty Ky farmer.
The scene was in q barn near La
tonia Springs and the amount bet was
800. The announcement of the fight
drew crowd of about 200 people
from this city and across the river.
The catamount was confined in
cage about twelve feet long and six
wide in the center OF the barn. The
catamount was driven to one end OF
the cage and then the dog was thrown
in. At first neither made move.
The dog, after cycling the cata-
mount some moments, finally jumped
at it and secured hold on It's neck.
This started the fight on in earnest
and both fought viciously.
Several times the catamount shook
the dog off, but finally the brindle
fastened its fangs iii the catamount's
neck and held on. After ten min
utes' struggle the catamount sue
cumbed and was taken out of the cage,
dead. The dog was badly scratched
about the head, but not seriously
hurt.
The result was not what the sports
had expected, and considerable money
was lost. Many thought the cata-
mount would make short work of the
dog, and were disappointed, as it only
acted on the defensive. The dog
weighed thirty-two pounds and the
catamount twenty-five pounds. Gin

Rather premature to let Hassamer go
before getting Brown here.
Donohue secreted the extra ball in Sat-
urday's game and quite a delay was
caused.
Schmelz refused to produce a fresh ball
and Tim Keefe was kept lodging back be-
tween the rival benches.
Finally Tim went out to the plate and
said to Schmelz: Il will give you one min

a minute.
Bill Hassamer won fame later in the
game by going over to the Chicago bench
and finding the lost ball, whereupon he was
dubbed "Bill, the detective"

the game.

Fleetwood Race Meet.

Big Money Hung Up for This Weeks
Fleetwood Race Meet.
Only one contingency can arise to mar this
weeks racing at ''Old FLEETWOOD Park,
New York. and that is change in the
weather of the past few days Up to yes
terday seventy-one cars Of horses had ar
rived and news Of many more being on the
way had been received by Secretary
Hedges, so that the chances are scratches
will be few. An unusual number of horse
men visited Fleetwood yesterday, and one
and all were more than pleased with the
prospects for the weeks sport.
Today's card includes the 2.3O class, trot-
ting. purse, 5000; 2. 10 class, pacing, purse,
5000, and PIT class, trotting, purse, s., 900.
Tomorrow the trotting queen, AIix. 200 "a.
will be the special attraction. She will be
sent to beat the track record made by
Nancy Hanks. As Alix has been recently
worked quarter in OPS, there Is little
doubt she will smash the record with ease.

and 2.15 class, trotting. purse, 5000. In
the go class Bright Regent Is likely to
be the winner, but Bonetta Is a probable
starter and should make it very warm for
the stallion.
In the last race Of the day there will be
very hot contest, as Dunchy, Caprice,
Bravado. Arena. Cephas. Newcastle and
Iretcne0 nave all Deeu gong very IaSI
and are booked to meet in this event.
The great event Of the third day will be
the free-for-all trotting for a purse Of
5000. The struggle will probably be be-
tween Agoth, klamath and Bengetta.
In the free-for-aI pacing race for Thurs
day the greatest race horses of the CEN
fury will meet.
The relations of the three stars, Robert
j., Joe Patchen and John r. Gentry, are
somewhat peculiar. Last year was Robert
Us, but twice this season Joe Patchen has
defeated him. Gentry, in July. made it
three straight against Patchen, but last
week the Kansas horse turned the tables
on Gentry at Chicago. Besides the cham
p,ons, however, there are two other horses
in the race that may be heard from, Rubin
stein and Star Pointer.
The last day of the meeting. Friday.

meeting in the Eli class. trotting. Be-
tween Chester, Athanis. Aunt Delilah. Obe-
