Columbus. Ohio. Aug. 6-,At the Column

garded as a good compliment Il is GER
tain that he would never have been chos-
en- had not his speed been good. Another
fact that was in his favor was his train
ing for the match race earlier in the sea-
son at Baltimore. This helped him con-
siderably.
A Considerations Worker.
Moran has always been a conscientious
worker, and his hard tra.ning is proven
bal among local racing men. During
all of last summer, even on the hottest
days, when the mercury tried hard to
climb out of the thermometer, he could
always be found in the forenoon and in
the afternoon, wording on the track. lie
rarely rides less than five miles anu this
at "a terrific pace HIS endurance is won
derful. and there is no one in the DIS
tr;ct that can stand the strain he IN
dergoes every day when in active train
ing AT present he = working harder
than ever, and MS daily course of train
ing is rather elaborate. He rises cary
in the morning, ard in company with MS
trainer, Pop Ringgoid makes a run of
three or four miles, landing on his toes
all CT the time TO render The muscles more
active and pliable.
Upon his return TO the city he is given
rub down, and then good breakfast,
mostly OF rare roast beef and bread, with
very little liquid TO drink. After this he
visits the track and rides from five TO ten
miles behind the fastest pace thatcan be
furnished him. After a light lunch he
returns TO the track in the afternoon and
rides some more, practicing following
pace, and changing off, accomplishing
this with no loss Of time and no extra
exertion on his part. At the same time
he rin
wishes, something that will be of val
liable help TO him in his race Monday
evening.
The president of the Park Bicycle
Club. J. d. Lasley, who is managing
the coming race against Michael, stated
to a Times representative that he re-
garded Moran as the best available man
10 put against the Welshman. Il might
add" said Mr.. Lasley, that Moran will
most likely surprise everybody by his
riding. In draining ne is following pace
in a beautiful manner. hugging the rear
wheel of the front machine and switch
ing off in splendid manner from one
pacing machine 10 another. While he
has been in training for some time, eX-
treme hard training since becoming a
member of the Eclipse team about a
month ago, most of his work has been
for sprint events. He began the season
his race against LeCompte. the Balti-
morean which ne won.
'.Since then he has found II hard to get
back to sprint work. He has now been
put back to middle dHsance training,
with, as I said before, encouraging re-
suits 1t is a case where his hard train
ing of the early season has proved ITS
great advantages. By the end of the
week Moran ought to be able TO follciw
the fastest pace that can be set by
local team and he ought TO be able 10
go ten miles in eighteen minutes. or
thereabcwts. My idea was. to goS the
fastest local man possible to ride against
Michael, because 1 feel certain tAat jhe
race is going to fbe the cytsc:s evert OF
the city SO far this season. You may de-
pend upon it that we will pu- ,p good
race at this end of the line. and If we do
not win we will come somewhere very

MICHAEL DEFEATS M'DUFFIE.
An Unpopular Decision Depriyes
Titus of n Victory

Philadelphia, Aug 6.-The largest
crowd that ever attended race meet in
this city, with the single exception of the
Na5ioEal l.. "a. w. meet, about 5000 per
sons. were present at Willow Grove this
afternoon to see Michael and McDufiie
ride twenty-five miles.
The prelimnaries were up to the usual
standard, the only thing to mar the pro-
ceeding being the decision in the final of
the mile professional handicap, in which
Fred Titus clearly won out from scratch
and was given second place, In spite OF
the cry of the vast audience who did not
see 1t that way.
Quicker. McDuffie's manager, wanted to
match at fifteen miles, as his contract
called for, while Brady wanted twenty
five miles, with unlimited pace. The Will
low Grove people said twenty-five or
nothing McDuffie's manager finally gave
way, despite the fact that ne had only
prepared pace for a fifteen-mile race,
and agreed to go twenty-five with pace
limited ITO thirty-two men. The race was
ridden under protest by McDuffie.
At $50 O'Clock Michael made his APP
pearance and McDuffie few minutes
later. McDuffie won the toss. For the
hrst hundred yards there was granu
loaf in play for position. The men jock
eyed continually, and it was good deal
of a loaf After the nineteenth mile it
was hot race, Michael leading all the
way. AT the twenty-third mile he jump
ed away for fifty yards and was never
headed, McDuffie being unable to de-
crease his lead. Time, 1925 1-5.
The finish was the only exciting part OF
the race. Summaries:

both men got across the plate on Rietz s

Cleveland's fifth and last run came in
the fourth inning. O'Connor and Childs
drew passes, but Mexican died TO Nc

on Anderson's out, Childs 10 Tebeau,
Donovan scored.
II is a wonder that Cleveland's score
was not much larger. In both the third

him from any great slaughter. Mercer

New York, Aug. 6.-The appropriately
named colt BUrlesque caused a Sensation

race of the meeting and getting within
three-quarters of a second of the track
record. The stewards compared the race
with Burlesque's effort of the previous
day, when he ran fourth in a field of 1--WE

entries Of owner G. B. Patterson are re-
fused, and the case will be referred to

The Futurity trial failed TO fill TO the
satisfaction of the promoters, but there
was still good field of five when the
bugle sounded. Autumn was plunged on
as a certainty. and in Maher's hands he
won comfortably by two lengths after
Mark Miles had showed the way for four
furlongs. The rank outsider Scanned ran
strongly through the stretch and beat
Tendresse two lengths for the place. The

Fears of an lee Famine

The enormous consumption Of ice dur
ing the last hot spell has pretty nearly
exhausted the stock of ice in the city.
and unless some vessels arrive very
shortly, the people will have TO content
themselves with taking their drinks at a
tepid temperature. 1t is 10 be hoped that
this viii not happen. as Tharp's pure
Berkeley tastes better with a little cracked
ice in it, and it is especially tempting in
a mint julep or a high-bail. However. IL

taken, and though the ice crop should run
short, there is still a large stock Os

Cincinnati, Aug. 6.-About 1000 persons
today witnessed the first game of the
eagerly and somewhat anxiously awaited
series between the leaders and the cham
pions, next in the pennant race. 1t was

young Willis were pretty evenly
matched, it proved. In the last half of
the ninth Steinfeldt and Peitz doubled,
scoring the winning run. In the sixth
Boston had men on first and third, with
none out, but the great pitching and
fielding prevented runs. The players
were almost carried off their feet by the
enthusiastic crowd and Steinfeldt and

Cremating Dead spaniards.

They cremate the bodies of the
dead Spaniards at Santiago. Over
700 have been burned so far. A
special from Santiago of the 18th
says:
Over two rails a dozen bodies are
stretched and across them another
dozen and about thirty corpses are
stacked in an immense funeral pile
ten feet high. The pile is then sat
ura;ed with kerosene and the torch
applied. A fall of rain put out the
fire, causing the bodies to be only
half burned. Around the pile lay
twenty-five collins containing corpses
in a state of decomposition. Several
naked bodies were strewn upor the
ground in a condition of putrefac
ton. Altogether about seventy un-
buried and unconsumed bodies we're
there. The stencil Was terrible.
This happened at q cemetery within
the city limits. The authorities and
the cemetery officials say it is i'm
possible to get men to work at the
cremation. Wages of dollar a day
prove no inducement to the natives
to work at this gruesome toll. The
unconsumed bodies will be left upon
the ground until tomorrow when
fine weather may help the work OF
cremation. These seventy corpses
represent two days. dead from the
Spanish camp. The danger TO the
population from the stencil, the pres
ence of the buzzards. vultures and
flies 10 incalculable.
