Recent Game-McJ James Fooled by q

Now Ready to Go Into the Game.

al saw eighteen Englishmen try to play
baseball once, says Jimmy Ryan, and their
ideas were fearfully and wonderfully origi-
nal. They had the rules down pat, except
ing in one particular didn't know
that man stops, gets through and waits
for another bat after lie reaches the home
plate. Their idea OF run-making was the
one they had always followed in cricket
aud the result was excruciatingly funny.
$50 far as fielding and batting went they
weren't half bad. The pitcher stood up
in the box at the start, let go good, swift
ball and the batter soaked it. The shortstop
made rafting good line catch and said;
Why, these fellows are all right. They
have learned the game mighty well.
The next man up hit the ball clear
over the centerfielders head. Well cut,
Harry! Vel lcut! Run it out! Run it
out!' they all howled, and the fellow did
run it out. He made the circuit In good
time, and then, to my intense astomsh-
ment, Kept right on and reached first be-
on the next ball thrown and made good
fore the nelders got the ball. He was off
steal OF second. Then the fellow at the
bat hit a good three-bagger to left, and
the fellow who had just navigated around
for six bases Went home, started for
first, reached it, and stayed there.
81 hadn't a word to say. They kept on
hitting the ball, and the fellow who had
made the first hit kept on running. Finally,
when three men had been put out I
figured up that this gentleman had made
seven runs and the rest OF his team three.
So they counted 1t, and / then realized
that they were playing on the cricket
pian-keep on running till you get put
out.
But 1 wasn't fully prepared for theil
game yet In the second inning one o.
them hit long foul to the rear. What does
he do but start off and circle the base.
to the same old howl of Run it outr Run
it out!' while the catcher chased the ball
This made the captain Of the side then il
the field figure that there must be some
thing wrong with his arrangement of the
players. So he opened the rules, found
that paragraph which says the captain
may place his men anywhere he sees fit
and sent the center fielder back OF the
| catcher. The move proved success, FOL
these Enalishmen, accustomed to cutting
the ball for fouls, sent him eleven flies
all of which he caught very prettily.
They played seven innings, the game
finally winding up when a long hit was
made. The ball was lost, and the mar
who hit it made twentyfour runs before
it was found. They agreed to come ou
and play the other two innings the nexI
day and adjourned with the score of / .:
to 81"

killed while Making a Test

Pittsburg, Pa, July 22-Joseph Tate.
aged nineteen years, was killed at the East
Pittsburg plant Of the Westinghouse Com
pauy yesterday. He was testing coils when
he came in contact with both terminals of
the testing box, receiving shock of 2 500
volts. A young workman standing near
saw a flame of blue fire flash up Tate's
arm, the victim growing livid and assum-
ing u blush color, Which gradually faded,
leaving him pale as death. The company
physician worked with him, but the fiery
fluid had done its work and life had left
the body.

Speaking OF recent play by Eddie
Burke, Ben Mulford says: while the
game sparkled with brilliant plays, the dar-
ing spirit of Eddie Burke will be rated as
the most startling of the contest. Burke
had no license, as they would say in the
City Hall, TO move on to third after he
had pilfered second in the fifth. The ball
Lad rolled few feet away from the bag,
but Eddie took the chance and the sight
of Burkeville's hero churBing away oward
third seemed to paraIyZc Henry Reitz. After
two or three blind snatches the returned
second baseman finally recovered the bail,
but tie Red Leg had circled the last canvas
and was still pegging away toward the
plate, when Reitz fired the elusive sphere
toward Clark, but his aim was wild and
Burke's run was made in safety. Thousands
jumped to their feet, thuDderously celebrat-
ing the success of one of the nerviest sprints
ever witnessed at League Park That run
came in when the score was small, and the
exhibition was one calculated to worry
the enemy"

GAME DOES NOT COUNT.

Eastern Buds Put In an Ineligible
Player and Violate a Rule.
Yesterday the Eastern Buds, with the aid
of an ineligible player, defeated the 1nde-
pendents by a score OF l 2 TO i. 1t was a
well-pIa yed game, except in the seventh
inning, when the Buds punched their hits
and the Independents their errors, and six
runs were sent across tie plate.
The game will not count in the standing
of the clubs, it being thrown out because
of violation of the rules.

Dear Sir:-
al have used two and one-talf bottles
of your CATARRH CURE on my daughter
who has suffered for four years from Ca
tarrh. Her continual snuffing and
hawking was pitiful. The third day after
using your cure her complexion began
to clear and she was brighter. In con-
junction her hearing and voice was i'm
paired-that is now entirely obliterated.
have tested this medicine thoroughly,
and am convinced that it will alleviate
and cure suffering humanity from this
most disgusting and terrible disease.
The manner In which 1t clears the nasal
passages will convince the most skeptical
as to Its merits"

TO COMPETE WITH CARNEGIE
John D. Rockefeller Intends to Figure as
New Iron King.
BID PLANT TO BE BUILT NEAR CHICAGO
standard OIL Magnatc Goes Into Steel
Rail and Armor Plate business
ON His own Account and
on Large Scale.

CHICAGO Dec. Ga morning paper
makes the following announcement: John
ID. Rockefeller is seeking to Guido Andrew
Carnegie as an iron king, and has plans al
ready matured and about to be carried out
aiming at that end. The Standard Oil COM
pany, directed by Rockefeller. will be the
foe of the Scotchman. This company has
purchased in South Chicago along the shores
of Lake Michigan and at the mouth of the
Calumet river a plot of ground several
acres In extent and with water frontage
Of 3, 200 feet. On this 1t is saN rolling mills
will be erected, to cost 100000. and pos
sibly twice that amount. With this plant for
M.ssaba region for the raw product, and
with eighteen tank vessels to carry the ore
to the very doors of the works, all owned by
the Rockefeller company, that corporation
may be able to dictate terms to Mr.. Carne-
gle and his associates, instead OF being die
tated to-
Mr. Rockefeller's scheme Is not new. He
has had 1t In mind for several years, but
not until now has he been ready to put 1t
into effect. His preliminary movements
have, as usual, been kept quiet. Not until
today did anything reach the public, and
then accidentally. Some weeks ago a large
plot of land was purchased in South Chicago.
Dock company. and several private indi-
viduals: the real buyer was not publicly
known. The price was in the neghborhood
of 100000, divided into three payments.
The first installment was paid when the deed
was signed and the next two will be made
December To- 1t was not necessary that
Mr.. Rockefeller should divide the sum.
The iron and steel business-at least that
part of 1t dealing in steel rails-is controlled
entirely by Carnegie and his two allies, the
Illinois Steel company of Chicago. and the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company of Pueblo,
Colo. The price of rails at Pittsburg Is SOS,
at Chicago 500, at Pueblo 1913, whichever of
these three concerns Is neares. the purchas-
els, gets the order. Rails cannot be had of
any one else. This is the situation which
Mr.. Rockefeller has tackled. He expects to
make steel rails from % to so per cent
cheaper than the trust can and can sell them
much cheaper. The new mills at South Chi
cago will not be confined to the manufacture
of steel rails. however, but will make struc-
tural iron of all storts as we'll.
1t Is stated further, and on good author
ity, that MIR. Rockefeller may even go into
the armor plate business. The site of the
new works is good for a mammoth rolling
mill. The river at this point Is twenty feet
in depth, enough to float the largest lake
vessels and provides a perfect entrance for
the Standard Oil shi-s which will carry ore
from the mines at Lake Superior These
same boats will serve as powerful whip in
the hands of the Standard Oil magnate, in
case the railroads attempt to fight him, for
they can also be used for the grain trade
and literally demoraliZe freight rates in
every direction

500 refugees have passed into the city during
the past FIVE days, from the section, fearing
for their lives during the fights between the
soldiers and the insurgents. Nearly all the
Havana volunteers have gone to the front,
but as fast as they rout the guerrillas in one
place, they encounter them In another, MAX
ing succession of running fights, all within
five to ten miles of the city. About 100
soldiers have been killed or wounded, so

The mob broke into the Jail with little
difficulty and speedily accomplished their
object of melting out punishment to the
alleged butchers. Lon Lackey, who has also
been in Jail under a charge of completely in
the murder was taken to Richmond Satur-
day. which fact alone saved his life, as he
would certainly have been lynched
with the others. The probabilities
are that vengeance will be melted
out to him later possibly before
morning. Several attempts were made to
lynch Winner and Lackey. while they were
in Jail at Richmond which led to their re-
moval here for safekeepng. Nelson has
been in Jail here only since Saturday, hav-
ing been arrested on the strength of CON
fession made by Miss Maggie Katron, who
made a sworn statement that she, Winner,
Lackey and Nelson committed the
murder. The crime for which Win

the brutal butchery of Mrs. Winner,
wife of the lynched man and of Clara Win
ner, aged years, and Pearl Winner, a boy
aged Is months. The Winners lived north
