THE BORE's NEMESIS.
He Has Been "a Nuisance a Long Time,

He Has Been Nuisance Long I1me,
but Fate Got Him mt Last.
From Puck.
During our long and somewhat checker

Hawville Clarion, 1--WE have encountered
bores of many descriptions; but, so far as
our experience goes, the biggest bore ever

who used to infest our sanctum from early
morn till dewy eve, with intervals for re-
freshments, of course.
He levied upon our perquisites of we'd
ding cake, circus tickets and early paw
paws, as If vested with riparian rights.
When not slumbering-which he did much
of the time. to the accompaniment of
snores like the death rattle of an expiring
bovollipus-he was either arguing with us
or swapping up our freshest exchanges and
shucking them with a deftness born of long
practice Not content with reading them,
he must needs slash out Of each such
article as seemed to him worthy of preser-
vation in the collection he was making of
data upon every conceivable subject under
the sun, and when he CHANGED to find an
item of unusual interest he would pounce
upon 1t with sonorous exclamation which
was sure to sidetrack and often wreck our
train Of thought.
He continued to inhabit our sanctum till
he could give US valuable pointers on all
phases of the newspaper business, and
would doubtless be here yet had it not been
for the occurrence of one of those episodes
which no man can prognostfcate.
zone day, upon returning to our office
after brief absence, we discovered Mr..
Lincoggle endeavoring to ensconce his en-
tire person in the knee hole of our desk, in
which attempt he was being ably assisted
by a large elm club in the hands of mid
dle-aged lady of magnificent proportions.
At our entrance the lady paused to explain

died within week after his arrival in our

in the Clarion, in which a typographical
error was responsible for the statement
that he had gone to his last roasting place.
1--WE sympathzed with the widow, but
suggested that she had punished the editor
sufficiently for his dastardly insinua ton.
When she was gone the bore crawled out
of his refuge, glared at US in unutteraDle
wrath and scorn and left the office, never
to return. The mills of the gods indeed

Miles, Sin fact I AM glad to say that the

think can claim to have been a witness
of the biggest game as to stakes that was
ever played"
Tell us about it, general" said Col.
Ochiltree. II have some pretty good poker
stories in stock myself"
"And so have l." said Henry Watterson
For instance, Joe Blackburn's about the
game played in the trenches at the battle
of Shiloh, with a table made of the bodies
of the comrades of the players"
WELL" said John W. Mackay, "as to
stakes, I will enter a claim for some of the
games played in the good old days in Ne
vada, when the boys had the Comstock
lode to draw upon. But, general. let us
have your story"
"It was in, the spring of 1s65-just thirty
years ago this week, when I come to think
OF it-when Davis, Lee and the rest of you
confederates, Col Watterson. were in full
retreat from Richmond toward Danville,
and we were pressing you night and day.

light of the boys, that several of the wa
gons were loaded with confederate bonds
ard confederate money in transit from the
confederate treasury department in Rich
mond to wherever the government now on
wheels might make its last stand. The
soldiers simply helped themselves to the
bonds and the money, and the officers did
not care to deprive them of the spoils to
which they were richly entitled. At night
when we knocked off work for supper and a
few hours rest and sleep had occasion to
ride along the line, and found, greatly to
my amusement poker game going on

the pot when 1t was hauled down by the
winner, who had three treys and pair of

The Harvard Varsity crew will leave for
New London today. A new shell is be-

the race. The crew have been over the
four-mile course several times of late, and,
though no time has been announced, it is
generally understood that it was good. No
change has been made in the makeup of
the crew for the last few days. The order
is: Stroke, Bullard; Z, Fennessy; g. Wat

probably be the order for the race. except

CONNIE MACK PROTESTS.
He Denies That His Club Plays "Dirty
Ball.

Connie Mack, who was once the receiv-
ing end of the Gilmore and Mack battery
of the Washington team, but at present the
manager of the leaders in the race for the
league pennant, resents the allegation that
the Pittsburgs are dirty ball players"
In refutation of The charges of that char
acter so frequently and persistently circu-
lated about his team Manager Mack points
to the fact that not one of his men has
been subjected to a fine this season. He
then went on to say: II am aware that
some Of the members Of the Pittsburgs
have been repeatedly charged with resort
ing to brutal conduct, with the view Of
intimdating opposing players. I have eau
toned the men time and time again to re-
frain from doing anything that might look
like dirty work. There is Jake Beckley
who is continually being charged with
dirty playing when the fact is he would
not Intentionally hurt an opposing player.
He Is full of sport, is an earnest player
and sometimes he plays little harmless
pranks on his opponents that arc calcu-
lated to excite and annoy the friends of the
home team. 1 have frequently told him
that while / was aware that his antics are
but the natural output of a playful nature
they are msconstrued by the general pub
lie and often operate to the disadvantage
OF his team. All my men are working to-
gether earnestly and faithfully to make a
gard ourselves as sure pennant winners.
for We realize that Boston and one or two
other teams may be our superiors indi-
vidually. 1t is unjust to charge us with
being set of brutes, who would willingly
and deliberately try to injure or cripple
an opposing player simply to win a game
OF ball. Accidents are daily happening in
other teams. but there appears to be a
general disposition to charge all the men,
bers of the Pittsburg team with being
dirty bali players. My friends in Wash
ington and elsewhere know that 1 have
never resorted to questionable methods of
winning game of ball. either as a PLAYER
or a manager, and / will not stand these
accusations without entering my protest."
Not Complimentary to the Senators.
The Pittsburg correspondent of the Sport
ing Life writes the following impression
Of the playing of the Washington nine in
that city:
Somebody asked what was wrong with
the Senators. There was little need of ask
irg that. 1t is cheap team and 10 person
could do any better with the material now
on hand than Gus Schmelz is doing. In the
first place the club needs a shortstop
Danny Coogan is an intelligent lad and
fair ball player, especially catcher, but he
Is no shortstop. and he is free to say It,
II don't make any pretensions to being a
shortstop." said Coogan to some friends.
