kooser and Choate. They busted them
selves whooping it up from the coach
ing line, but failed to get into the game.
Knickerbocker and Griffin played good
ball, but there were others on both
teams who did just as well. Luck, the
factor that wins and loses so many ball
games, was against the baa baas. They
made just as many hits as the railroad
ers and only a few more errors. Their
hits, though, came at the wrong time
somehow, and their errors were eX-
ceedingly expensive.
Good Crowd Sees Contest.
At 8 o'clock good crowd was on
hand to see the battle. More people
kept coming, until. when the baa- baas'
mascot, a big black sheep was brought
in at 3:15 for an exhibition caper, the
grand stand was we'll filled and the
bleachers were very popular. Pictures
of the mines, with Judge Eyrick's i'm
posing figure looming grandly in the
background, were then taken and the
game began.
The Ali Woods had the first chance at
the bat, and amid breathless silence
Patterson stepped to the plate. He
liked the second ball pitched and
whacked it far out into centre field.
Devereaux began running as soon as
he heard the bat meet the ball. After
a great sprint he captured it and the
crowd yelled its appreciation of as fine
a catch as has been seen on the fort
grounds in a long time.
Davis reached first safely, when Gray
fumbled his grounder, but was forced
at second by Harris punk hit. Craig
retired the side by fouling to knicker-
booker.
For the All Rails, Griffin let his
grounder go through him. Big jim

WHEELMEN SHOW THEIR SPEED
LAWSON GOES A QUARTER IN
TWENTY-SEvEN.
More Fast Professionals Will Arrive
Today-Eddie Smith Picked as a
Winner of Novice Race.

| Yesterday was the liveliest day of the
season on the Calder's park track, and
every wheelman who will ride tomor-
row, with the exception of Turville,
Iver Lawson and Julius, were working
out.
John Lawson was the big attraction,
and a large crowd of interested spec
tators were on hand to get glimpse of
the Terrible Swede." He did not APP
pear until late and came out on the
track with Gum. The two profession.
ais took a good, brisk pace for about
five miles, and Gum sprinted and re-
tired.
The press dispatches a week ago an
nounced that Harry Gibson, the phe-
nomenal Cincinnati rider. had made a
third mile in SO 1-5, lowering Tom
Cooper'S world record liver Lawson,
one of the riders expected here today,
defeated Harry Gibson in a match race
in San Francisco, in March last, so an
idea may be gained of his ability from
the above facts

Lawson rode few miles further and
finished with a fast quarter that gave
the spectators an idea of what he can
do in fast finish. Several watches
caught his time, and none were over
q seconds. The best time for that dis
lance ever made on a Utah track was
q As. made by Frank Thatcher in an
unofficial trial at Calder'S park.
Emery. who has been training on the
west side, was on the Cal
der track for the first time this
season. and Notwithstanding the fact
that he does not claim to have done
much hard work he rode strongly and
made several fast eighths.
Eddie Smith is picked as winner
for the novice events and hung on to
the professionals in several of their
brushes. Froiseth and Lawrence, how
ever, are riding fast, and the amateur
events should be close and exciting
Shaman was looking on from the

which has laid him up with very bad

tomorrows events.
The balance of the riders from Cali
fornia will be in today and will work
out on the track this afternoon.

sCHLEY INTERVIEWED.
Speaks of the Necessity For Larger
NAVY

When Admiral Schley was seen in his
car, coming north from Provo yester-
day morning. he was in a genial mood.
though he seemed somewhat tired and
worn. General and Mrs. Henderson
ana Mrs. Schley were as happy as the
hero of Santiago. They seemed to very
thoroughly enjoy their trip.
Il wanted rest" said Admiral Schley
but they have not given me much of a
chance. We were called out twice last
night. and | hardly had time to dress
Drums were beaten and whistles blown
untll l came forward. SO You may real
lie that l feel somewhat tired today. I
don believe that l am getting quite as
much rest as before the battle of Santi-
ago.
Why. these demonstrations are re-
markabIe," said General Henderson.
when | invited the admiral to come
west l didn't know that we would en-
counter such campaign The farther
west we come the more wonderful
seems to be the admiration for him.

navy which sent the fleet of Cervera

Larger Navy Needed.
Speaking of naval matters. he said:
we must have a large navy; it has
become a necessity, and with it must
go strong coast defenses, which are the
natural supplement of naval work

BURNED IN A CONVENT.
Flames DeNoured the Structure of st.
Anne While the Inmates Were
Asleep.

New York, Aug. 2S.-A special to the
World from Nyack says:
lire vas discovered in the large boys
and girls orphan asylum connected with
st. Anne's convent at Sparkill, Orange
county, at l a. m. today (Monday) but
not before the structure, frame build
ing, was wrapped in flames. Many of
the inmates, children, were burned and
suffocated, it was reported early this morn
ing. The exact number OF the dead can
not be told.
The asylum, which is conducted by the
Sisters Of Mercy, held about 1000 children.
1t was long frame building three stories
high. The flames were not discovered un-
til the whole building was one mass Of
flames The children had scant chance
for escape.
Special trains over the New Jersey Nor
them road were rushed to the nearest rail
road station. The asylum was situated
between Sparkill and Orangeburg.
The scenes at the conflagration wer'
heartrending. The children, clad in thei
night robes, could be seen falling bacl
into the flames and smoke, while tn
shrieks of the dying could be heard abov
the crackle of the devouring flames. Som
of the children were crippled for life b.
jumping from windows. Many of the sis
tiers also were injured, while Others los
their lives heroically while trying to res
cue their charges. Although the servic
of the fire departments from neighbol
ing places had been promptly rendered
the engines arrived too late to be etfec
i've in preventing loss of life.

ESCAPED From the Bull Pen.

Wardner, Idaho, Aug. 2s.- A wholesale
Jail break took place at the bull pen here.
Eight prisoners, five of tbem under in
dictment for the murder Of Jack Cheyne,
have escaped and are now hiding IN the
hills. Rewards are offered. posses are IN
pursuit, the whole country has been given
warning; but there is little hope OF the
capture of the fugitives.
The plot was well laid. The only won,
der is that scores of rioters were not sci
free. A band of desperate prisoners
friends outside the jail with unlimited cash
at command; a weak and greedy soldier
faithless to his trust-these are the rae
tors in the plot which has been forming
for many days and ended in the daring
and successful dash for liberty.
