HATED BEING CALLED A .sCuss.n

But This Was Only a Shortening OF
Customer.
He was tired Of being called hard
names by other wicked men, but he
was inexpressibly shocked when =
pretty and innpcent-looking young
woman dubbed him 'cuss." 1t was in
one Of the department stores. He had
boldly approached one of the gro
Gerry counters and told his wants, but,
instead of waiting on him, the maiden
whom he addressed turned her head
and called to another girl near by:
"Jen, come here and wait on the
cuss."
He stared in amazement, but she
paid no further attention to him, and
as she started to go to another part Of
the store he heard again: "Jen, here's
a cuss for you"
While the second girl was attending
to his wants, he plucked up courage
enough to ask why strange young
woman should apply such an epithet
to him. The girl laughed merrily as
she answered.: 20, that's just Sadie'ss

that they had changed their minds,
and that the conspirators did not in

However, the message came in an
unexpected way.
One afternoon having occasion to-
write note, put my hand into the
envelope case for an envelope, and
my fingers encountered a thick enve-
lope, closed, and evidently containing
a sheet of note-paper. I drew it out.
and found that it was addressed to
myself.
Who could have placed it there? was
my first thought. 1t seemed certain
that If the Government Of the Car had

stranger had been allowed to come

Of boots and drunk few glasses Of

was stripped Of his boots by a light

Preston, bleeding profusely from his in

Danny hit Burke with the ball. Geier
poked a warm one at Daub. which he
could not field. and Glenalvin hit to the
inevitable right garden. With the as
sistance of bad throy by Householder
two more runs came in. and St Paul
had nine when Lally flew to White.
Eustace opened the seventh with hard
drive which Shugart was lucky to get
running away from first let along throw
ing it back to the initial sack. Gremin-
ger flew to Burke and McQuade forced
Eustace. Daub's two-bagger, g good
drive down the left foul line low, scored
a run and it looked as though the Bisons
were going to try and avenge the eX-
termination of their namesakes when
Glenalvin let Whites grounder slip away
from him and Garry tarred his bat for
a hard long drive to center field. Burke,
however, caught the ball and only the
one run resulted, so the score was nine
to two in favor of the home team.
Eustace threw out Isbell ana Schwartz
flew to White. McQuade retired Shu-
gart.
In the eighth Shugart took two ground
ers and a fly without a skip, and the
Bisons did not scent the first sack. Burke
was presented with base on balls but
the other three Apostles to face Daub
were unable to get the ball out of the
inner diamond.
Buffalo needed seven to tie and eight
to win. Eustace smashed the ball safe
for third time. this time to left field,
but Greminger forced him out again. Glen
alvin dropped McQuade's liner, and when
McGill pitched four wide ones the Wis
ttorS had the sacks full White hit to
Isbell who threw to second for Daub,
Greminger scoring. Garry was thrown
out by McGill, who carried the ball near
ly to the sack lest there should be some
mistake about it's delivery.

WERDEN WON IT.
Batted In the Only Run of the Co.
mbus-MinneapOIIs Game,

Minneapolis yesterday won the best
game this season at Nicollet park, after
nine innings Of the closest kind of play.
Nit to nit was the score up to the last
inning, when Perry Werden hit out a.
rafting single which scored Wilmot with
the winning run. Yet the game was not
won then by any means When the Wan
derers whom Tom Lotus chaperones got
three men on bases with none out in their
half of the last inning 1t looked very, very
shaky for the locals But Hutchison
steadied down and pop flies were the only
thing the next three batters could get.
1t was a pitchers battle, and a royaI
one, too. Willie Bill Hutchison was I'm
the box for the home team, and for nine
innings he held the Columbus team down
to six lone singles, of which four were
scratches. For six innings only one CO.
lumbus man got to first base, and that
was Pickering, the first man up in the
first. Willie Bill gave but one base on
balls, and fielded his position perfectly.
He had speed to burn and was as steady
as clock all through the game. Hutch
fairly earned his sixth consecutive VIC
tory.
Waddell was the twirler for Columbus
ana MS work also was of the very first
quality Three hits, one scratch, was
the best the home team could do with his
delivery Waddell struck out eight men.
and gave only three bases on balls. Next
to Hutchison Perry Werden was the
hero of the day. He got two of the three
nlts Off Waddell. The score:

o'BRrEN KNOCKED OUT.
Barbados Terror Adds AnOth er
Scalp to His Belt.

NEW YORK, May 19.-Joe Walcott, the
colored boxer, who has deserted the
ranks of the welterweights to become a
middleweight, knocked out Dick O'Brien
in the fourteenth round of their fight, at
Broadway Athletic club tonight. Wal
colt made a heavy concession of weight
to the Lewiston man, yet he won with
out having to take more than half
dozen punches in return for the scores
that he rained upon his man.
WalcOtt took a lead with the sound of
the gong, and, save for a few seconds in
the thirteenth, was never headed He
showed superiority in every respect, and
it was only O'Brien's wonderful stamina
and capacity to take punishment that
saved him from an earlier defeate Half
dozen times during the fight and before
the fatal round he seemed to be going,
but every time his strength came back
and the rests revived him.
1t was fierce fight from the start, yet
1t was so uneven that 1t failed to stir the
crowd to a very high pitch Of enthusiasm.
Walcott showed improved form at the
increased weight, and was wonderfully
clever. He frequently dashed his left
into O'Brien's ribs. raised it to the neck
and then planted the right on the other
side of tn head and got away without
a return. His left was wonderfully use
full, and whenever blow seemed effective
he was all over his man with both hands.
He gave O'Brien no rest, and after the
siZe-up it was only g. question of time.
Walcott led for eight rounds.
In the ninth round O'Brien displayed
a pair of bleeding ears and blood also
trickled from his lips and nose. In the
tenth Walcott beat his man to a stand
still, and then put him down with a right
hook. O'Brien took his time allowance
and when he gained his feet electrified
the crowd by suddenly rallying and rush
Ing the colored man to the ropes. He
landed his left, but missed with the right,
and the round was over.
O'Brien was strong in the eleventh.
and, although he followed Walcott close
ly, was APPARENTLY afraid to risk a lead
The crowd cheered him, but he did not
respond In the twelfth Walcott was in
and out with scarcely q return, and
O'Brien tok painful gruelling. Suddenly
OBrien rallied again and was forcing
the fighting when the round closed
The thirteenth was the only one that
looked at all O'Brien's. Walcott opened
