Pittsburg Phil Wins $25O,OOO
on Racing This Season.
General Gossip of Eastern Book
makers and PIungers.
Ottawa Defeats Washburn 10 to 4
University of Missouri Loses to
Tarkio-Schaefer Defeats
Maggilo.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Wm. Beverly, who
left few days ago for San Francisco,
had this to say about eastern racing
matters:
4 have just returned from New York
and the healthy state of turf matters
there is shown by the large betting
transactions. If anyone had told me
that which I myself saw, would have
said: No pipe stories, please for the
magnitude of betting transactions on
the part of Well-knOwn individuals is
simply astonishing. I had heard that
one day this year Joe UIlman had in
$4,000 on a race and paid out $4,000
and so was somewhat prepared for big
things, still was dumbfounded when on
, Friday last 'Pittsburg Phil took $140,-
600 out of the ring on three races. He
backed Nautch Girl from 20 down to 6,
RhOdesia from Is down to 6, and wound
up by placing $4,000 on his own horse,
The Winner, knocking his price from
evens to 3 to 5. And all these horses
winning, he won the $40, 600. Just be-
fore this he had had several bad days,
but the more conservative of his inti-
mates place his winnings on the season
at $3.50, 900.
''AIl of the big bookmakers are ahead
on the year, and, by the way, cannot
see how they can well be otherwise, as
prices are good and money plenty. Har-
ry Harris, who used to be with George
WheelOck, is the biggest fish in the
puddle. Last week, one day, making
book entry for himself, he lost $40, 900,
but afterwards said that he was $175,-
600 winner on the season. He probably
meant that the combination of Riley
Grammar, Harry Harris and Charlie
Quinn so stood. The latter partner, the
young brOther-in-law of P. A. Brady,
has 20 per cent of the book. These par
ties are to go to San Francisco for the
winter, while 'Pittsburg Phil will most
likely go to Europe, where now with
Tod Sloan is Ed Gaines, a daShing Oper-
atOr, known many times to put up to
5 against the favorite and take all
money offered, having no other figures
on his slate.
''They say that 'Pittsburg Phil bet
| Joe Uliman 100000 to 5000 that he
would not be seen west of the Rocky
Mountains inside of three years. Dave
! ock is a bettOr on election as well as
| at even money to beat Low for mayor
| of Greater New York. George figures
| that no Independent candidate can ever
| be elected mayor and says that history
points that way. Van Wyck is at 1 to
| in all the books, and his election is
| conceded by all the sports. May be the
| wish is father to the thought, it being
| generally understood that the faro
| banks and everything else will go un-
| der a Tammany administration
| Mike Dwyer and John McCafferty
| are to take their horses to New Orleans
/ to race and John Madden will be seen

| Frank Eckert of Chicago has made $780,

IT BURNS UP THE SMOKE.
a Successful Smoke Consumer Pat
ented in Germany.

Berlin, Nov. 2.-The firm of Kuhut &
Deissler, of this city has patented a
simple smoke consumer, consisting of a
fire clay plate to be inserted in the
furnace, which is said to effect a COM
plete combustion of smoke and to aver
age a saving of 20 per cent in fuel An
ordinary fireman is able to replace it.
Its cost is 400 marks
Experts declare that it will revolu-
tionize the system of heating by coal.
1t is reported from KieI that thorough
tests of the invention have been made
at the navy yards there with the result
that the government has ordered the
application of the smoke consumer to
all the boilers in use in the navy and
negotiating with the inventors for the
sole right to use it on steamers Lieu
tenant Niblack, naval attache of the
United States embassy, has sent a

LAvIGNE A WINNER.

Gives Joe wolcott . Thorough whipping
at San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-George La
vinge whipped Joe Walcott last night
in. IL rounds and whipped him
thoroughly. Ten Thousand people saw
the fight under the auspices Of the o.
cidental club. While W~alcott's quit
ting was abrupt and unexpected at the
moment, not n Of the great crowd
thought the eventual ending would
prove unfavorable to the Saginaw Kid.
He set a terrific pace from the sound Of
the gong in the first round until the
end Of the twelfth and had q good mar
gin the best of it in every round. While
Walcott stalled off the sturdy Michigan
mans rushes he could not stop him.
At the close of the ninth round
Joe Was Seen to Limp
in going to his corner and his seconds
gave their attention to his legs. Wal
colt is subject to muscular cramps in
his lower limbs and it was this ailment
which unfortunately attacked the col.
ored man. However, this attack did
not affect his fighting in the early
rounds Of the bout and only served to
end the fight in Lavigne's favor at an
earlier stage than was looked for.
As it was apparent from the begin.
ming of the fifth round that Lavigne's
lead could not be overcome, Lavigne
fought for the body and it was these

State Auditor Mayhem has been
bound over in the sum of $500 for en-
bezzlement of state funds. Many may
ask why tx SO light a bond for SO serious
a charge in the cases of both Nipple and
Mayhew? 1t must be remembered that
these gentlemen % have bondsmen who
are responsible for any shortage that
may appear during their term of office
and that the present bond is only for
their personal appearance in circuit
court. Men of the pretended honestly
of Nipple and Mayhem would naturally
went to appear even without auybond at
all, otherwise their absence would be q
good radiance to the state. Mayhew's
hearing was much the same az Nipples,
bis populations covering a period OF only
six months however,, while Nipples
covered four years. Mayhem took the

aminer Taylor. He attempted to justify
his action in Withholding $1,lO0 from the

the checks and drafts through the bank
before he could pay the state. His rea-
son for not clearing the checks between
the Goth day of June, when be turned
over S1,70O, and July II, when he turned
over the s1,10O, was that there was q
rumor that the First National bank.
where he kept his account, was likely to
suspend. He admitted keeping all his
money iE bank, but did not produce his
bank books. The 1913 in gold which he
turned over on August IL he said had
been lying in his cash box in the vault

cuses have been offered before by May

hew were strengthened. The defense
was greatly disappointed at the outcome,

more firmly the conviction that there
