navy ring will rest under this defeat is
not to be expected, but it will confirm

In the case Of Admiral Schley the
hoard did not stop with the usual
perfunctory examination. IL was the
duty of Admiral Sampson 70 forward

that letter would be to invite exposure
of the injustice while to base the
statement on that would be to insure
Schleys approval by the board. There

FOR NEW LIFE ~ JUDAISM.

the Sunday service movement by its
opponents is taken up by those who
believe that it is destined to awaken
new life in Judaism and answered.
They repudiate the notion that they are

claim that they simply take the day
given to them by the government as

better to bring the people tc the house

attend than TO leave them entirely with

ven By the fact Of their non attendance,
which is as palpable in the orthodox
congregations as it is in the more re-
formed synagogues To meet the reli-
gious wants Of these they have insti-
tuted a Sunday service. They deny
that these services are Of non-reli-
gious nature. They claim that 1t is
their aim to breathe into them the
same spirit that permeates the worship
on the historical Sabbath, and they as
sert that the purpose Of the Sunday
movement is a purely religious one.
and that the object is not TO kill on all
reverence and devotion
1T is to bring man to a full con-
sciousness Of his dependency, upon the
grand Over.sonl, who guides and

IL is to bring him in touch with the

They urge that day that is not sur

is free from thought Of shop and store,

his illness, and the fact that these
people were endangered is not lost

simply great We have Rettger, Reidy, Swain,
Hart, Mcdonald. Vollendorf, Husting Check

Clark will sign 10 a certainty. Stafford and
Ha-lman are assured fixtures for first and
second bases, but short and third there
may be some changes which the spring prac-
tee viii develop. Leave. Burke and Shoch
will be the ones who will compete for posi-
ton at short and the contest will be inter-
estirg, as I understand that Leewe has
rounded to in his 1897 form and is practicing
daily in a gymnasium. l think l may play
Burke at third. as he is a conner Oh that bag
and use Gray behind the bat to alternate
with Speer. Gray is a good catcher and
Burke an ambitious, energetic infieider who
plays third base as TO the manor born though
Cray in 1897, while with Indianapolis PLAYED

WON BY A DEAD MAN.
Exciting One-Mile Bicycle Race
With a Remarkable Finish

VANCOUVER. B. c., Feb. 4.-Australiau
advlces by the steamer Miowera tell of re-
markable bicycle race in Sydney which was
won by dead man. 1t occurred at big
electric light carnival. In a one-mile race
there were fifty entries, some of the fastest
men in Australia taking part in it. While
lOGo0 people watched this particular race,
which was for a magnificent cup, young
James Sonerville passed under the tape a
winer and dead man. At the start he
quickly forged ahead, closely followed by
another crack rider. named Percy Cliff. They
left forty-eight riders away in the rear and
shot around the track almost wheel to wheel
When within twenty-five yards of the tame
Somerville, who still led by half wheel was
seen to release his hold on the handle bars
His pedals whirled around, however, and he
pluckily held his position. Five yards from
the tape Cliff put on a tremendous squirt and
struck Somervilles hind wheel, shooting the
wheel with its then almost inanimate bur-
den, like rocket, under the tape The
crowd yelled wildly, but silence ensued when
Someryille, after crossing the tape plunged
head foremost from the machine on the hard
track When picked Up he was dead. Phv-
sicians who examined his body said he must
have had an attack Of heart failure on the
last Lap. VIZ

The wrestling match between Dan
Mcleod. of this city. and George Bap-
tiste, of st. Louis, at Conover hall last
evening was won by Mcleod in
straight falls. The match was wit
messed by 400 enthusiastic spectators.
The contest took place under the au
spices of the st. Paul Athletic club.
and was for a purse of $3.50. The time
OF the falls were respectively eighteen
minutes, twenty and a half minutes
and fourteen and half minutes.
Baptiste showed up strong and why,
but appeared somewhat smaller than
Mcleod, in fact Weighing $50 pounds,
while Mcleod went on the mat at 165.
The first bout was lively. Mcleod
was the aggreSsor. and, after some
pretty defensive work, Baptiste was
finally pinned TO the mat with a crotch
hold and half Nelson.
During the second bout Baptiste took
more chances as the aggressor, but
was unable to at any time put Nc
Leod in jeopardy. The Scotchman
seemed confident at the game, and,
while Baptiste worked hard for ham,
merlocks and Nelson's. the Greek APP
peared to be UP against it. While on
the defensive BaptiSte showed clever
ability to get out of danger and raised
to his feet a number of times when
it seemed as though Mcleod had him
in an ineXtricable grasp. Mcleod put
in most of his time behind Baptiste in
trying for the hammerlock and finally
succeeded in half securing the hold,
when he quickly shifted TO a front full
Nelson, forcing Baptiste into a bridge,
from where Mcleod slowly pressed
him to the mat.
The third bout was a rafting exhi-
bition, but Mcleod easily had the best
of 1t throughout. Once he had Bap-
tiste all but down, when the agile
Greek got away and upon his feet. but
in a brief time Mcleod was at his op-
ponent's back again. Another ham,
merlock sent Baptste over on one side,
and Mcleod secured a lock which soon
put the st. Louisan hors du combat.
The match was without any exhibit
ton of unfair tactics and thoroughly
interesting from start to finish, despite
the fact that Baptiste was for the
greater part Of the time on the de-
