moreover anything but new having been

cheap from Sir George G. Lampson, her
former owner to be used for cruising in

ter mile, located at the famous Charter
Oak park, where so many of the great con

says there will be no better quarter mile
track in the world than that at Hartford.
1t will be a quarter mile, with the boards
laid lengthwise in narrow strips and will
be scientifically banked. Hartford will
gain position in the national circuit for
one and probably for more meets, and the
people Of that city are promised the best
attractions obtainable this season.

The Australian baseball players who
came to America to surprise our profess
Eional clubs with thoir abilities on the dia-
mond are going home sadder and wiser
men. They saw their first professional
game in Chicago and there realized that
they didn't know the primer of the sport.
All idea of asking for games with profess
sional clubs in America left them after
the wonders of that Chicago games We're
spread before their eyes Still they looked
mt it philosophically and said they had
gathered enough points from what they
saw to help them improve their own play,
so that they would surprise their fellow
teams when they get back home. Tho
question therefore arises, What kind of
baseball do they play in Australia?
Tho forfeiture by the Pittsburg club of
two championship games in one week has
no precedent in the history of the sport
Strange us it may appear, both forfeiturcs
were based on the same otfense against
the same rule-reiusing to resume play
when ordered to do so by the umpire. The
result was not only the loss of two games
while the club was occupying II good posi-
ton in the race, but it undoubtedly donor
allied the team and perhaps laid the fouu-
dation for the loss of rare chances in the
championship.
What II picture these forfeitures have
made of those new antikicking rules, be-
cause the primary reason for each forfeit
was combined, continued and concerted
kicking over decision of the umpire,
which was Il matter of Judgment only and
involved no construction of IA rule. So far
this year I've seen but one captain in tho
National league who absolutely obeys tho
rules injunction to not leave his position
in the field, on the coaching lines or at bat
to dispute a decision of the umpire. Guess
who the exception is. Yes, Arson, once
the prince of kicllers, now the first to obey
the laws which are made to govern tho
game to which he has been "A living honor
for 20 years. o. p. CAYLOR.

FOOTBALL PREPARATIONS.
Western Institutions to Rival the Univer-
stiles of the East.

Western institutions to Rival the Univer-
stiles of the East.
Western educational institutions are de-
termined to compete with the big eastern
universities in the matter of football, and
preparations for the coming season are
being made on a liberal scale. The season
carries with it added interest, as it will see
II shake up in most of the teams on ac-
count of the new rules that will go into
effect this fall. Old familiar faces that
have been seen on the gridirOn Will be
missing. Some have graduated, more have
been barred by the new intercollegiate
rules and others have departed to schools
where the ethics of the gridron are not so
severe 1t is quito probable that such
schools will he few in number, owing to
the era of reform that has swept over the
western colleges. The latest converts are
the Universities of Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri. These have practically adopted
the rules of the northern colleges, and an
interchange of games for the coming sea-
son is talked of.
The scramble for good coaches for the
different teams has also made itself felt.
The University of Minnesota is determined
to be in the race for the western pennant,
and the Gophers will probably have the
sItoHSVSO aggregation among all. Jerf6IllS
of Yale has been secured as head coach
after spirited bidding by the Leland Stan
ford university. The University of Wis
consin expects to retain Phil King as
coach, but is doubtful whether the team
will have the services of Dad Moulton as
trainer. Huff will lead the fortunes of the
University of Illinois and Jim Robinson
will have an opportunity to regain his
honors at tho University of Michigan.
Who will coach Northwestern has not yet
been decided.
Stages contract with the University of
Chicago expires this summer, but. it is
certainty that his services as coach and
head of the athletic department will be ex-
tended indefinitely. Asto the team which
will represent the Maroons Stagg is pessi-
mistic. He says that never before has the
outlook boon worse, and for that reason
he has not arranged any games yet.
Michigan, on the other hand, has practi-
cally full schedule which will shortly be
given out.

A Nights Lodging
BY JAY.

with the other victims of the deadly bed
stead.
In about twenty minutes after the bed
had closed down, during which time
awaited developments that were sure to
come, | seated myself in a chair beside the
door, revolver in haud; l heard the sound
of footsteps ascending the staircase, and
down the hallway, until they came to the
door of my room, Then the door was
opened and the old woman glided cat-like
across the room, | stole after her, and
peered Over her shoulder as she pressed a
hidden spring, allowing the canopy OF the
bed to go swiftly upward.
When she discovered that her intended
victim was not in the bed she uttered a
startled exclamation, and turned to rush
from the room.
AS she turned around leveled my gun
at her expecting some show of re sistance
but none was made. She was too over
come with fright to make a move, and
quickly slipped pair of handouts on har
wrists The capture of the old man was
a small affair and soon had pair safe
ly under lock and key, at the nearest po-
lice station.
The sergeant on duty at the station gave
me a bed for the balance of the night, and
when | arose in the morning, found my
self famous.
The police had long suspected the old
couple of crooked work and had no diff
Guilty in convicting them of their eet-irrre e;
They both received lite sentences; the old
man, however, only lasted year, but the
old woman is still alive.
Owing to the Importance of the case, my

ON his last visit to Picking is a
matter OF common knowledge, but the
narration of two instances that have
come directly under my notice may per-
haps serve to mike the English reader
realize even moro wildly how ineXora-
BILE and how shamelessly open is the
systematic corruption.
The governor of Kiangsu province,
who was an intimate friend of Prince
Kung, thought to take advantage OF his
great influence by coming into the city
without bribing the gatellccper. Mhen
- Il T757Ti MS royal friond, Prince
kung exclaimed: "When did yOu come?
cannot possibly recognize your pres
ence. for | have not seen your name in
the chung Wcn-m.n report. and he
had to return and pay double the usual
| bride to the gatchorpcr before Prince
Kung wOuld receive him. Even more
remarkable is the case of TsO TChung-
I Tong, one of the greatest of our gener-
ais, who, having suppressed the Molanl-
medan rebellion in Turkostan, had &c
| quired for the Celestial empire territory
about half as large as China itself. The
emperor, who held him in high esteem
wished to see him and sent Il special
summons calling him to AN audience at
Picking.
When ON his coming to the city the
chung or gatckeeper, de
| manded sc, 900 tacl, he refused to pay
anything But even he was not officially
reported, and after be had remained
several months in Pekin, waiting for an
audience, the emperor issued another
edict, asking why he had never come.
Tso-T chung Tong responded by telling
the whole story, adding that, having
spent all his own and his family mon
ey on the support of soldiers during the
war, he had no means with which tn
pay such a bride. He appealed to the
emperor graciously to relieve him of the
imposition In reply the emperor said:
"This the feeling of the gatekeeperl is
general and ancient usage, and the
viceroy and generalissimo must submit
to it like another" And as Tso-Tchung-
Tong really had not the money his
friends raised ii subscription, tie dow
ager empress herself contributing half
the required sum. -Fortnightly Review.

Even pedaling is necessary if hill climb

When facing an ascent, the rider should
gradually get up speed approaching the
