able this same Philadelphia team, during
Its period of It's lay down to Baltimore,
has been able to win with easo from equal
~ strong teams, particularly the New
Yorks. There Is subject here for some
baseball theorist who has time to sit down
and figure out the why and wherefore.
In no year since baseball became a pro-
fessional game has there been SO much
discord on the field between umpires,
players and spectators as there has this
year. Hurst was assaulted by mob in
Pittsburg, and had fist fight with Catch
or Pcitz In Cincinnati Sheridan was
knocked down on the diamond by Hawley
ut Pittsburg and eggcd In another city.
Kennedy the Brooklyn pitcher, hurled n
ball ut Umpire O'Day's head. Wolf, a
local umpire In Louisville, was struck
twico by Parke Wilson'S ilst during a
wrangle over n forfeited game. And the
slight punching in the ribs, pulling, haul
ing and pushing which all of them, ex-
cept Lynch, received from time 10 time
have been so common that they were con-
sidcred unworthy of record by reporters.
But tho climax came with the arrest Of
Hurst In Cincinnati on Aug. Ain Gin
cinnati, which city seems to be tho storm
center for all the trouble. A decision
which Hurst made did not please some of
the spectators One Of them, who had just
drained glass Of beer, hurled the empty
glass mt Hurst. It rolled TO his feet.
Very foolishly the umpire picked 1t up and
sent it back whence IL came. It was
thrown mt random, but struck an innocent
party, innicting long scalp wound. The
umpire was then attacked by the crowd,
but tho police managed TO get him TO the
police station, where ne was placed under
bonds to answer tho charge Of assault and
battery.
when one summarizes this state of NJ
fairs and stacks it up beside tho magnntes

what II more, there IN no club OF the II
which has not protested tho assignment
of ono or more of the regular umpircs e
gnmes I'm which It's team takes part. Al
Of this was forecast by mo I'm ono OF the
enrly spring baseball articles. So tho um

The usual wall about actors being un-
able to find employment Is being heard on
all sides. Commenting on 1t, Manager A.
H. Woodruff Of the Manhattan theater,
New York, said:
"The same story was very much In evil
dence at the beginning Of last season, and
yet every competent and reliable member
of the profession whom know secured an
engagement. Take the roster Of any first
class organization and you can easily dem
onstrate my proposition.
'"As an instance, look at the company
which George H. Broadhurst has engaged
for what Happened to Jones' When was
George G. Boniface, Jr., disengagedp
George Ober has just closed five years
engagement with Hoyt. r. f. Cotton
was with Lost, Strayed or Stolen last

comedy role In the all star production Of
The Sporting Duchess Mrs. Mckee
Rankin declined to leave New York and
filed in most of her time with jobbing en-
gagements. Anna Belmont continued in
her original role In Too Much Johnson
Kathryn Osterman was leading woman
for Stuart Robson.
$50 It goes all down the line. The actor
who cannot secure an engagement has
either been unable to demonstrate his
ability or has an exaggerated idea OF his
Importance.

they beat the Scotch boats. They are q

keel Is of cast iron and weighs 81 tons.
The boats have fixed coach roof and sky

Each has sail area of $50 square feet,
and they all rate at 30-35 linear rating.

Perhaps the fault will be found In tho
failure Of clubs 90 maintain order among
tho spectators Had tho man who threw
tho beer glass at Hurst boen promptly
elected from tho ground tho trouble would
have ended there. Az 10 Is others will be
encouraged to shy few empty steins at
tho official on tho diamond whenever they
disagree with his decisions. Yet they ex-
pcct him to mako no mistakes In his work
and at the sanle time dodge beer glasses.
There was time In the National league
when any spectator who addressed the ura-
piro In harsh language was promptly led
to the gate and put upon the outside In
those days no beer glasses were thrown,
because no liquor was sold In tho stands.
Hut tho National league of tho eighties
snd the National league of tho nineties arc
of different characters, and In this instance
umo has not bettered conditions
The home stretch Of the great pennant
race has been reached, and the finish
promises to be the most interesting In
years, because thoro are four clubs In tho
hnap sprint. 1t must not be forgotten
that with these four teams there IL little
preference between first and second places
that Ia, tho great desire exists to get into
the Temple Cup series, while the clubs
themselves believe there Is "more IN it,
for tho following season to finish second
than first. Once champion and the club
Is expected TO stay champion. In second
place gives the club mighty prestige for
next seasons fight.
At this time 1t Looks M II Cincinnati
had no chance to end one, two, because it's
team finishes the season away from home,
while the other three leaders work Is con-
fined almost entirely to their own grounds.
So 1t should be a three cornercd struggle
among tho Bostons, Baltimores and New
Yorks. Two OF them will be happy on
Oct. 2. The third will be the most bitter
ly disappointed Of the 12. 1t will bo case
OF 80 near and yet so far" with the rich
Temple Cup prize just beyond it's reach.
1t will be grand finish and will attract

Tho qoldfields Of Klondiko thus far have

The stomach Is tho regulator OF vision.

dent that this squeezing together of two

adversely. 1t is one great reason why

AMATEUR ATHLETICS.
A corpact Has Been Ffnafly Signed to
Form a Strong Alliance.


Philadelphia, Aug. A.-A new alliance
between the Amateur Athletic union and
the League of American Wheelmen has
been signed and will go into effect at
once.
The alliance was prepared by and is
the result of conferences between
Howard L. Raymond, ex-chairman of
the l.. A. w. racing board, representing
President Potter of the l.. A. W., and
John w. Kelly, Jr., representing Pres
ident Mcmillan of the A. A. u.
The signing of this alliance silences
the reports of ill-feeling and probable
war between these two powerful athletic
bodies. 1t is much stronger than the
old one, and many points that caused
| trouble In the old alliance are now clearly
set forth. The new alliance strengthens
both organizations.
Among the provisions OF the alliance
| are the following:
All cycling events in championship OF
other open meets OF the A. A. u. or of
its associations or clubs, shall be given
under the rules of the l.. A. W., and all
athletic events in any meeting given
under the sanction OF the l.. A. w. shall
be held under the rules OF the A. A.U.
| Charges against any cyclist or athlete
shall be tried by the party to the alliance
having jurisdiction.
No athletic meetings. games, benefit.
Or entertainments which include or are
held I'm connection with a cycling event
shall be sanctioned or recognized by
the A. A. u. In any case where a sanction
shall have been withheld or refused by

Included I'm OF run In connection with any
program OF athletic games, meetings,
benefits or entertainments shall be san
ctioned or recognized by the l.. A. w. I'm
any case where sanction or recongition
OF such games shall be withheld or re-

The Chemistry of Debt.

In the process of chemistry the vari-
GUS elements appear and disappear and
undergo the greatest changes. None of
these are so strange, however, as the
chemical change undergone by money
after it has passed from the lenders
pocket to the borrowers Before its
transfer the borrower reVerenced it from
afar; he sighed for it, perhaps begged
for it. He was at first so sure that it
would be punctualy returned that this
really seemed to take away half the
merit of lending. When it was once
transferred 70 his own pocket. however,
it began to seem very trifiing thing to
have lent it or borrowed it-for are we
not all brethren ?-and in a little while
it seemed to nestle into it's new home
like an adopted kitten, and to wish to
be disturbed no more. It really seems
to require a very strong and clear mind
after twenty-fOur hours to regard a
borrowed dollar as still belonging right
fully to the man who lent it, If it be
not properly the borrowers how is it
that his fingers and his purse close over
it so peacefully and happily? May it
not be, after all, that he has misre-
membered and that he did not actually
borrow the money, but that it came. by
some august decree of fate, into the
hands of the very person who needed it
most? 1t would be wrong, he feels in
wardly, 10 interfere with any such
proper and useful decree Of Providence
by any petty refunding of the debt
