We11-Played Games mt the Invitation
Tournament of Norwood Field Club.

upsets occurred Neel, Larned and Bob
Wrenn have clean scores. A great fight is
expected today between Neel and Wrenn.
George Wrenn began the mornings play by
almost whitewashing Talmage, who played
poorly. Fischer banged the ball wildly
against Larned, losing the first two sets
easily. He made gallant fight in the third,
however, Larned having to play twenty.
two games to win.
The afternoon games were all we'll con-
tested. Neers remarkable accuracy gave
him three-straight victory from Stevens.
George Wrenn bothered his more experi-
enced brother greatly at the start, winning
set. The former champion won by greater
speed toward the finish. Talmage then as
tonished those who saw his poor work in the
second set of their match and followed nv
winning the third by beautiful net play.
Larned then put up great speed and won the
match in the fourth set.

German. The latter faced his old COM

from the Washingtons there might have

An error by OBrien in the fourth inning
was directly responsible for New York's
four runs, and another blunder by DeMon-

to get around to the plate with q run that
tied the score German pitched a really

1t was "Scrappy Bill'' Joyce's first ap-
pearance upon the Polo grounds in a New
York uniform, and he received flattering
reception. Charley Farrell, in a Washing
ton uniform, was also warmly remembered
first time at bat.
When Lush caught Beckley's fly in the
tenth Inning, he saw 1t was no use trying
to throw Connaughton out at the plate
and he made for the visitors dressing pa
vilion with the ball. He was forced to dis
gorge, however.
Tim Hurst gave several close decisions
against the New Yorks yesterday and one
double play of the Washingtons looked
anything but a double play. However, he
evened things up by overlooking some
very fine strikes pitched by German.
Johnny O'Brien gave a fine exhibition at
second base. Kid Gleason had an of

The horrible heats and the destruc-

MED them in all the northern cities,
should reconcile us here in Texas to
the milder form of summer weather
under which at times we feel to con-
dem the weather clerk and complain
of the temperature. There is nothing
for which the people have a kick COM
ing against the weather dispenser,
unless perhaps little stinginess in
the matter of sprinkling. Even this
is being attended to in spots all over,

1t is no credit to the farmers of Dali
las county that they marched a poor
woman to Jail, followed by two cry
ing little ones, because she had taken
food to keep her consumptive husband
and babes from starving. 1t isno credit
to the statutes of the state that such
taking of food to prevent starvation
is regarded as criminal. The necessi-
ty should plead the excuse for the ir-
regularity in the eyes of the law.
There is certainly some way of meet
ing such cases without driving the
woman TO Jail.

The Schrader who thought he could
boost himself into fame and fortune,
particularly into a fortune, on the
heels of Schlatter's eccentricities and
particular power, has come to grief.
There is a society of "hoodlums" in
Fort Worth, regularly organized for
the benefit of all such frauds. They
had gone out to where he was hold
ing forth to see his performances,
and taking it into their heads to see
him walk on the water would not be
denied their miracle. Schrader saw
that there was blood in the eyes OF
the youngsters and made break for
the cars. The motor man saw the
situation and lit out as soon as the
fraud and his manager was aboard.
The scoot was made just in time
from the hotel to avoid the rush by
the kids on the next car, and Schra-
der is among the things that were in
Fort Worth, but now are not. The
people are primarily responsible for
all such fool movements. If they
were not so easily gulled there would
not be so many frauds to cater to their
appetites.

Competent observers, recently re-
turned from Cuba are of the opinion
that the island never again will come
under Spanish dominion. The destruc-
ton of all it's revenues is now almost
complete and those who had at first
held aloof from aiding the insurgents,
fearful that all their property would
be sacrificed are now joining the in
surgents, for they see that property
destroyed and the island laid waste
and destruction pending. In this strait
they seem DESTROYS of having a new
deal, so enter the lists from which
they have lately held aloof. Yellow
fever and smallpox are making hav-
oc of the forces in the interior of
the island and the insurgent forcesare
getting ready for a decided movement
upon the lines of the enemy. A few
days or weeks at most may see some
decisive movements in the field.

Complaint is made that David b.
Hill is not coming out of his tent in his
war paint and feathers. David B.
Hill is not that kind of an injun. He
is not skulking, but he is waiting until
the big pow WOW in the state tent is
held, before he knows which trail he
is to strike when the war Ratchet is
dug up. David would like TO knife
free silver, only he is afraid of knit
ing the Democratic party in the opera
ton, and this would be to knife David
b. himself. There is no reason to
conclude that Hill intends to come out
of his tent until the great state pow
WOW of his tribe is held.

THAT DouBLE.TA1LED KITE.

THAT DOUBLE-TAILED KITE.
There will be music before the name
of Tom Watson is taken down from
the Populist ticket. That it is on the
program to make the attempt is GER
tain, but there is no certainty that it
will be accomplished. Tom Watson is
man of uncompromising will and
honesty. He thinks in his heart that
the Sewall end of the ticket is the one
that should be held by him and he
will hold it. Neither Marion Butler
nor Arkansas Jones is able to squelch
Tom, and the attempt is going to be
notable failure. Tom Watson rep
resents the southern Populists, there
is not doubt of that and the south is
little sore at more than one little
thing occurring in connection with
the late convention and its nOmina-
tiOnS. Watson stands for the southern
wing of the POpulist party. There is
n tendency on the part of the Jones
crowd to under value the strength of
the Populist party in the south. This
differentiation will lead to the at
tempted removal of the Watson end
of the ticket that was nominated
in ST. Louis. This will bring out the
Middle-of-the-Road fellows in force
and the counter nomination of Norton
for president in place of Bryan may
follow. Then there will be music in
the air. 1t is certain as death and
taxes that Jones is seriously engineer
ing the forcible removal of Tom Wat
sons name from the POpulist ticket,
and it is just as certain that if it is
done the Populists of the south will
resent the action in such n way as
will endanger the carrying of single
southern state in which the POpulists
have strong hold. That Middle-Of-
the-ROad movement at st. Louis was
loaded at both ends, and no one knows
it any better than the fellows who en-
gineered that trick. The sell out to
Bryan was the prime cause of the
whole motion, and Jones was the re-
sponsible parent of that sell out. He
was severely criticised by the manag-
ers of the Democracy for his officious-
ness in attempting to direct the move,
ments of another political party, but
upon the theory that the end justifies
the means he was allowed to make
the attempted trade. Now that the
trade is made the trouble is going to
be about delivering the goods. The
pride of the Populist party is chal-
lenged, as well as the very existence
of it, and those who Sc a little farther
than their nose are not quite willing
to surrender the whole party existence
to render a little more uncertain the
defeat of Bryan. Tom Watson is the
last ditch in which the POpulist party
as a national entity is finding refuge.
When it comes to leaving this ditch
there will be music. 1t will not be
yielded without a fight, for with the
Populist it is a fight for party exist
ence or non-eXistence.
