NANCE HAS CAUGHT ON
I. H. KEMPNER SAYS THE KID CAP
TURED THE NEW YORK CROWD.
The "DoIIar Whent" Scene on the
Exchange There as Told by the
Young Merchant.

Galveston. Teyas, August al. H..
Kempner is back from New York. He
saw kid" Nance play at the Polo grounds
last Thursday and Friday and he says
the kid is the biggest kind of Il favorite.
They have the kid playing right
field" said Mr.. Kempner this morning,
land from the way he plays the position
you would think that was his long suit.
On Thursday he made two beautiful
throws. One of them was after long
running catch. making double play. The
other throw was to the home plate to
catch man running in from third. The
catcher dropped the ball, the runner max
ing great slide. but the scorers gave
Nance an assist. 1t was wonderful
throw.
In the second game Nance started the
hitting for Louisville with great home
run drive. Then he made a double with
two men on base. He made a single also
and the last time he was at bat he madt
a terrific hit to right which looked like
another home run. but Tiernan pulled il
down after great run. 1t was a mag
nificent catch.
1.-The New York papers didn't say much
about Nance. but the crowd appreciated
his play They cheered him every time
he went to the bait
MIR. Kempner says that while 1t made
him feel very happy to see "Our Boy" dc
so well there was another thing he wit
messed in New York that he wouldn't have
missed for a great deal
1T was the scene ut the produce eX-
change when wheat touched the dollar
mark" said Mr.. Kempner. II never saw
such scramble before in my life 1t was
last Thursday. The galleries were packed
iammed. crowded. The people seemed tc
be bereft of their senses when the dollar
mark was reached. The people in the
galleries threw their hats down at the
crowd on the floor and every one shouted
and cheered like mad. The brokers In
the pit, as II acting by one impulse, made
a plunge at the crowd surrounding them
The brokers wanted to get to the telegraph
booths to telegraph the news away that
wheat had touched dollar So great VIII,
tho rush. so fierce the onslaught. that the
crowd. although it seemed to be one solid
mass of humanity, fell hack thirty feet.
above the awful roar OF the crowd
could be heard the changing of bell anf
now and then the shrek of a messenger
calling for some brokers.
II never saw men so absolutely crazy II
my life as were those brokers'"

New York August 21.-In a letter In the

tells how he will run the town OF Boston
If he Is elected mayor. He says;
'If am ever mayor OF Boston or any
other town does anybody think there would

about dollars, either.

I'D pay the firemen better. I'd find
