Our answer is that person with an

portion of il. and the individual who
lacks a proper amount of flesh will gain
a proportion; in other words, an equi-
librium will be set up, such as Nature
intends, if the individual uses the

MED the right TO recover contract ex-
ecuted in 1896. BY the contract Benjamin

horses which came in the three events in the
spring meeting of the New England Trot-

afternoon. Two heats made race, but
whether the system was a good one for
mile track was hardly determined, as in
two Of the events the winner had an easy
thing. In the third a stif brush In the
stretch made a third heat necessary and the
crowd liked the fun much better. Favorites
won in two races, but in the pace Lexing-
ton, which was good odds against the field,
could not hold the clip and was finally
drawn. The 2:3O trot was never in doubt. for
each time Halle Rocket led the procession
from start to wire, the only lighting done
being for other moneys. In the 2:H trot
Ruby had speed enough to win had the
others driven her hard, Two exhibitions
were given, Queen Regent, by Axtell. to

opeCldl 10 the Indianapolis JouIHai.
ST. PAUL. MINI, July lit was really
absurd the way Kellum moved down the
Saints this afternoon. He started in to mix
speed and a deceptive slow ball, and he had
the Saints swinging N vain ON his fast ones
and taking running jumps at his fioaters and
popping them in the air. In the fifth inning
Fricken steered an inshoot into Kellum' S
salary arm and almost laid him out. After
that he used nothing but his lazy ball, and
the Saints fairly broke their backs over it.
For eight innings they never landed safe
ones and but three men had reached first,
two on errors and one on a pass. In the
ninth they began to unravel the mystery.
but it remained for Shugart, who had just
got into the game on account of an injury
to Geer. to show how it might be done.
Shugart landed on the first ball pitched for
three bases. Burke singled and Lally dou-
bled and there was but one out. Kellum then
gave way to Scott, who retired the next two
men ON flies. McGill pitched some ball. but
was too wild to be effective. He issued two
passes In the first and two more in the
fourth. and Of course they all scored. Frick-
en- pitched the last half and he escaped with
out hit Hickey gave another exhibition
of third base play that made the fans open
their eyes. His assists were all on exceed
ingly hard balls. The impression prevails
here that nobody in this league can touch
Hickey as a fielding third baseman. Score:
