Dreyfus' Dramatic Reply.

AS the general was evidently greatly IA
tigued, Colonel Jouaust suggested that he
continue his testimony tomorrow. The
colonel then addressed the prisoner, asking
him If he had anything to say in reply to
General Roget Dreyfus replied:
No, my colonel. 1t is frightful that, day
after day, for hours, should thus have my
heart, my soul and my entrails torn with
out being permitted to reply. 1t is ter
rible torture to impose upon an innocent
and loyal soldier. 1t is a frightful thing,
frightful, frightful."
This outburst caused a great sensation.
The audience, profoundly stirred. began to
applaud, but the applause was quickly
suppressed.
Colonel Jouaust pointed out to Dreyfus
that he had been given an opportunity to
speak at the end of every deposition and
that the court would continue to do so.
The court then adjourned.
AS the prisoner passed out In front Of the
seats assigned to the representatives of the
press, his face was pale but animated. He
seemed to be in a state of great nervous ex-
citement and in furious temper.
The general impression left by to-day's
proceedings Is unfavorable, owing to the
absence of such cross-examinations as M
Labori would have given NM. Lebon and

dergo a severe test to see that they are
structurally able to stand the strain that
will be put on them while racing. 1t will
be necessary to have new sheaves cast
for all the blocks, and this will take
some time. The news was rather discour
aging TO yachtmen, and will not only delay
the trial races off here, but will necessi-
tate a change of the date for the race off
Sandy Hook.

when asked as to the possibilities of the

see how the yacht could get away for two
days. He was also asked about the races
TO be held off Newport between the Co

that the date would depend upon the New

The Arlington Wheelmen and the Cen

Capts. Frank c. Potts, of the Arlingtons
and Ed S. Byrnes, of the Century Cycle
Club The short ride of six miles out the

members of each club. who pronounced
the run one of the most successful ever
held. The start was made from the Cen
tury Cycle Clubs rooms, in E Street north

Highlands clubhouse being reached after
a ride of three quarters of an hour
After a short rest an exciting baseball

THE SENATORS STICK WORK.
Psdden Leads the Club with IN
Average of .3I3.

Last week the Senators played five
games, two with Philadelphia and three
with Baltimore. Not a one of them was
won by the Washingtons, their percentage
for the week being 900. Their batting also
fell of to a remarkable extent. a study
of the figures presenting some interesting
facts. Cassidy led the club in base hits,
his average for the week being over 500.
The first baseman gained ~ points during
that time, and advanced from tenth to
fourth place in the Senator's batting
record. Butler lost .251 points, but de-
spite this fact he still holds the lead. He
has participated in only six games, how
ever, and his record thus far is not a cri-
terion of his ability.
Atherton was the disappointment of the
week. Out of twenty times at bat the
elongated third baseman only secured two
hits, his average being .1O0. Captain Pad
den showed Improvement in his stick work,
and having participated in fifty-two games,
really leads the team with .313 points tc
his credit. Slagle, Freeman, and Barry
did not give remarkable exhibitions of
their prowess with the stick. The batting
record of the team up until yesterday was

CHAMPION JEFFRIES'
PHYSICAL CONDITION
DR.. Seayer, of Yale, Makes a
Critical Examination.
The Pugilisfs Heart Action and
Brain Are Too Slew.
The Physician Snys Jeffrics Could
Not Fight Hard and Fast
Battle Now.

New Haven, Conn, June 1S.-Dr. Jay W.
Seaver the director of the Yale University
gymnasium, made an examination of the
heart of James ]. Jeffries, the champion
pugilist, while the latter was on a visit
to the Yale gymnasium Saturday after
noon and he also looked the fighter over
for other points. DR.. Seaver said:
"Jeffries' heart action is slow, but this
is not due wholly to his lethargic mental
condition. The fact that he is such large
man is to a great degree accountable for
it. The action of Jeffries' heart is per-
fectly sound"
In speaking about the champions gen.
eral condition DR.. Seaver made some COM
ments that may be warning to Jeffries'
friends. He said:
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
which strikes the careful student of JEFF
fries condition is his mental reaction
He is slow to respond to questions and very
deliberate in making his answers. 1t
seems to me that il is his great nervous
exhaustion which is the reason for this.
He is nervously tired out. He is. at pres
ent, physically trained up to activity, but
mentally he is dead
This is partly due to the strain he
underwent in his training and to the hard
fight he went through to gain the cham
pionship, and it is partly due to his pres
ent trip through Connecticut. This barn
storming journey the week after his very
hard exertion certainly will not do him
any good.
Were Jeffries to begin another hard
fight tomorrow he would not last many
rounds. Neither his physical nor his men
tai condition would allow him to make a
long fight. He could not get away from
blows in time, nor could he deliver blows
before a quick opponent could dodge. In
scientific terms his mental reaction is too
slow. 1t will be many weeks before JEFF
fries mental condition will allow him to
fight quick battle.
IF you were to suggest a new idea to
Jeffries today he could not understand you
quickly. He would puzzle at it and it
would be some time before he would be
able to grasp its purport. A pugilist in
this condition could hardly make a quick
fight.
This peculiar makeup of Jeffries leaves
him naturally badly open TO effective stom
ach and heart blows. If any opponent OF
Jeffries is ever able to reach him with
persistent, heavy blows he will find the
Californian's most vulnerable point. He
will be able to put him out. Jeffries will
never be able to stand heavy blows in
the vicinity of his stomach and chest.
LAS to Jeffries' condition, judging from
the purely physical and excluding the
mental standpoint, it is easy to see that
he is er-trained.''

Abe Ullman, who is in training at his

that he will be victorious in the coming

Chapel Point, Md, and those who have
