REVIVAL OF ATHLETICS.
Talk of Meet at the Oval With Special
Races as Features.

The local lovers of amateur athletics
long for the palmy days of the Worces-
ter Athletic Club, and it is understood
that that desire will soon be granted.
Frank H. Blgelow is to start an organ
ization on lines similar to that Of the
old w. A. c., and already plans are
forming for an athletic meet this sum
mer. One of the features of the meet
will be match race between Charles
j. O'Connor of the Holy Cross college
and Charles Kiley, the Boston college
runner, for 440 yards. Both men have
met before, and are considered equally
matched.
O'Cennor defeated Kiley at the Bos-
ton college games, the latter slipping
when in sight of the tape. Kiley ran
against Holland at the July meet at
Riverside park and had 10 yards. The
race finished with no material decrease
of the distance between him and Hol-
land. A match is also proposed between
Jere j. Moynihan Of Holy Cross college
and William Moran the plucky high
school runner, for half-mile

SHOWER OF MONEY.

Pittsburg, July 4.-Pittsburg won two
games by remarkable finishes. Williams
was the star of the first game and Beau
mont of the second. In the first, Lever
gave four hits and three runs in the first
inning and allowed no more until the
ninth, when five hits and five runs were
made. In Pittsburg's half of the ninth,
with Beaumont and Mccarthy on bases,
Williams made a home run. When he
came in he was showered with money by
the fans. The finish of the second game
was almost Identical with that of the
first Two runs were needed and two men
were on bases when Beaumont came up.
He made beautiful home run drive to
center field fence, but got credit for only
a three-bagger because the runs he
brought in won the game. Attendance

CASE OF STAGE FRIGHT.

Springfield, July A.-Sholta, Worces-
ter's new second baseman, developed a
bad case of stage fright today, and be-
fore 1t was over had made three glaring
errors, which lost the game. In addition
to this, "Herky- Jerky'' Horton allowed
The Ponies to bunch seven hits in the
eighth inning.
The Farmers had things all their own
way until the fatal eighth inning The
SCORE stood six to one in their favor
Many spectators began to settle their
bets. Then came the avalanche. The
AQuines took a tumble to Horton. They
found his slants and waited them to
every corner of the field. Then the new
acquisition made several glaring errors
Of the yellowest imaginable variety. This
still further discouraged Horton, who al
lowed more hits. When the official
scorer got through his heavy job, he
found nine tallies chalked up to the
homo team. Worcester died easily after
this.
The work of the ex-Webster player was
complete disappointment to Manager
leonard, but he will give the youngster
good trial and hopes he will do better
Is he acquires more experience. Score:

DoBBs DONE FOR.
coIored Lightweight Joe Cans Only Needs
Four Rounds.

Ocean City, Md, July 24-Joe Cans
defeated Jack Dobbs of Boston tonight
at the Seabright Casino, under the
auspices of the Eureka Athletic Club,
in less than four rounds. Much interest
was centered in the contest, as it was
a trying out of the colored lightweight
and the first battle he has had since his
defeat by George McF'adden, whom he
Is to meet again in New York Friday
night.
Cans was in perfect condition and
seemed to have lost none of his old
time eleverness. Under the conditions
of tonight's bout, Cans was to forfeit
purse if Dobbs stayed in the fight
ten rounds.
There was little fighting for the first
two rounds. In the third Cans became
aggressive and landed several hard
blows on Dobbs' face and body. In the
fourth he rushed things from the start
and rained blow after blow upon Dobbs'
face and head. Dobbs made no attempt
to land, but confined himself to trying
to avoid the severe punishment. with
half minute to spare he reeled to his
corner and threw up the sponge.

Attendance at Cleveland
Grand Circuit Races
Is Small.

Cleveland, July 24.-The grand circuit
races began today under favorable wea-
Their and track conditions. but the attend
ancs was somewhat disappointing owing
in the main to the street railroad strike
There were four events on the program,
the 214 trot, ZIG pace, 2:27 pace, and 2:19
trot. Only two races were finished, one
being postponed entirely and the other
going over unfinished
The race of most interest was the Ale
trot Attoka was hot favorite befone the
race began, but he only got one heat, and
after hot finishes between Charley Kerr,
Bonnatella and Attoka, Chanty finally
landed the race. MAMMALIAN, the favorite,
would have won the 2:16 pace with ease IN
the first three heats but for an accident to
his sull1y in the first heat.
The heat was finished on one Wheel and
Mccarthy was thrown at the home, but
no other damage was done. It took the
| favorite until the fourth heat TO recover
himself, and then he went out winning as
millian favorite at So, Gypsy Red S26, Star
Hal and Sweet Violet $40 each and the
remainder of the field SIS.

DUM-DUMs ALLOWED.
Government Has Not Pledged Itself To
Abandon the New Bullet

Washington, July 24.-The United
States will not be bound by the report
ed decision of The Hague conference to
prohibit the use of the dum-dum bull
le5 in warfare. So far we have not
been obliged to resort to the use Of this
bullet but the ordnance office is maxi
ing experiments to secure an increased
stopping effect for the small calibre
ball used in the Krag-J orgensen, and
these experiments have proceeded
somewhat on the lines of the dum-dum
bullet.
the American delegates voted against
the proposal to prohibit the dum-dum
because their general instructions for
babe them to pledge this government
on any line of action that would retard
the inventive genius in warfare.
