At Fort Huachuca Friday night or last week 100 tons of hay were de- stroyed by fire The cODtiagration threatened to extend to some of the buildings, but was checked.
 Wilcox News: A letter to Mrs. Speed from her daughters who are with camping party in the Chirica- hua mountains, states that the men of the party at the time of writing were dressing two deer, wild turkey and a maverick. They had also seen two bear but the letter was silent as to what they did afterward. Some friends of the Riggs family accom- panied them and all are enjoying the outing greatly.
 MT. J. P. Richardson. who is mining near Dragoon summit has very promising copper property two miles away from that station, upo" which he is doing very satisfactory develop ment work. Three miles away he has tungsten twolframite) property, which is now under bond to Denver parties. Upon the property are two four-foot lodges, and several smaller veins. Good ore is being shipp ed from the larger ledges.
 Prospector: Jos. McPherson and J. II Wood left today for the Cobre Grande mines in the Cananeas. Mir. Wood is connected with the company and Mir. McPherson goes to look over the field and estimate on furnishing ore teams to haul ore for the company. It is understood the company have entered into large contract to haul ore with the McPherson company and the latter may send number of teams to the mines very shortly.
 Prospector. Jas. Monroe had nar- row escape at Bisbee recently. While riding his horse the animal suddenly became frightened at something and started to run away across the coun- try. Jim tried to stop him when sud denly the horse stumbled and fell, throwing the rider from the saddle and landing him or the very edge of an open shaft. Had Jim fallen foot further he would have been preci- pitated headlong into the shaft. As 1t was he was nearly scared to death and has been thanking his stars that he was spared the terrible fate that was nearly in store for him.
 Prospector: This morning Ben James was relieved from further earthly sufferings and the cares of of this sphere by departing to his re- ward and that bourne from whence no traveller returns. MT. James was an Arizona pioneer, a well Known miner and had many friends through out the territory who will be pained to hear of his demise. James was a sufferer of miners consumption and his physical decline has been gradual but certain, therefore death was not unexpected James was elected and held official position in Tombstone in early days and was typical good hearted westerner. He was 49 years of age and leaves two sons and a daughter to mourn his loss to whom the deepest sympathy of the commu- !. nity is rendered

FINE WORK AT THE NETS.
Victory of Doyle and Gee in the Lawn
Tennis DOuhIes

The Y. NJ. c. A athletes have added an
other victory to the number gained by
their athletes this summer. This time it is
the championship of the District of Column
bia in lawn tennis. The association team,
Messrs. Doyle and Gee, defeated the four
best teams in the city on the Bachelor
courts for the championship of the Dis
trict, and did 1t in such convincing style
that there is no doubt of the superiority
of their team. They both play a remark
ably strong game. both at the net and
from the base line. and their play was
a complete revelation to the District cracks.
They were regarded as a strong team, bu.
1t was not thought that they could defeat
either Davidson and GlaZebrook Hills
and Warfield. They met and defeated both
Of the teams, however.
This stamps them as one Of the strongest
pairs in doubles in the country, and it is
not unlikely that they will participate in
some of the crack tournaments next year.
Doyle has one of the hardest serves ever
seen in the city, and it is almost impossible
to return 1t with any degree Of certainty.
Both men pla- a scientific game, and get
all out of it mat is possible. They can
always be counted upon to fight until the
last point is decided, as on several occa-
sions they were forced to play steadily
and carefully after their opponents had Sc
cured a large lead. 1t is this nerve and
steady playing that has carried them
through some of their matches. Davidson
and Glazebrook had won the District cham
pionship on several occasions. and it was
generally conceded that it would again go
to them, but they fell down before the
brilliant play of the association men.
The finals. for the, Y. NJ. c.. A. champion
ship were played off Tuesday morning on
the association court, between Doyle and
Gee and Davidson and Metcalf. Doyle and
Gee again demonstrated their superiority
by winning in three straight sets. 60.
1o-S, 6-3. During the entire tournament
on the Bachelor courts the association
team lost but one set, that being the second
in the series with Davidson and Glaze
brook. Their performance is regarded by
players in the city the best ever seen
in this vicinity. and in case they go up
against some of the northern cracks the
result will be watched for with great in

round before the New Broadway Athletic
Club, New York. last night.
They met at 1873 pounds and put up a
fight which was as sensational as 1t was
prolific of hard hitting and cleYer ring
work.
McFadden's blocking of the Kids rushes
and leads was phenomenal. and toward the
end of the bout he had the Saginaw boxer
very raw and sore. At the opening La
vigne was the favorite, but after the
twelfth round odds of 100 to so were freely
offered on McFadden.
Lavigne was well battered and several
minutes elapsed before he realized what
had happened to him. McFadden left the
ring virtually without mark.
In the last round McFadden went right
to his man and had him Keeling with right
and left swings on the head. right

UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT.
Foot Racing by the Senator's and
Three Innings of Ball.


The heavy rain of Thursday night and
yesterday morning rendered the diamond at
National Park unfit for play yesterday. and
the game scheduled between the Washing
tons and Baltimores had to be postponed,
the contest going over until Monday, when
a double-header will be played. The Sena-
tors left for Baltimore today at noon,
where they will cross bats this afternoon
with the Orioles. McFarlan is slated to
pitch. with Fifield to help out in case of
necessity. McManus and Roach were taken
along the receivers.
Next Wednesday afternoon the players
have arranged quite unique entertainment
for their Washington friends, the proceeds
to be divided equally among the Senators.
First there will ,be race between about a
dozen Of the players. Handicaps will be al
lowed runners like kittridge amt weighing,
with Barry, Mercer and Slagle as the
scratch men. Each of the men will chip in
a few dollars to make respectable purse
for the winner, and 1t IS expected that
quite an exciting contest will take place.
Following the sprint race will be three
innings Of base ball. between the "Regu-
lars and 'Yanigans, on original lines
bases to take an many sacks as possible on
a fly ball, whether caught or not. For In
stance. if man is on second and a ball Is
hit to the outteld on the ny the :, runner IN can
or not. Likewise a man on nrst can go all
the way to third or home on the same play
on an infield fly. This sort OF play Will
keep the fielders hustling and many pretty
plays, it is predicted, will result. This idea
came from the fruitful brain Of the late
Harry Wright, and put forward by him to
quicken the game and do away with the
bunt hit. Larger scores viii assuredly re-
sides and smacks of originality at least.
The players were discussing the game, pro
and con, this incoming. and it seemed to be
the opinion of q majority that the idea was
a good ore and at least was worth trying.
After the three-inning game the Senators
wilt" cross bats with a team representing
the bur--u of engraving and printing, and
an interesting contest is assuerd, as the
Bureaus will be strengthened by several
professionals of the minor leagues, who
expected that Geier Bert Myers and several
other goes. men will play with the team OPP
posing the Selators.

HIGHLAND INTERVIEWS CENTURY.
The Ride VIII he to Frederick, Nd,
and Return,


The Highland Wheelmen have decided to
hold public century run Sunday, October
%, the first run of its kind ever held by the
organization. The ride will be to Frederick
Md, and return, starting from the club
house at 18th and 1 streets northwest. with
a time limit of fourteen hours. commencing
at o'clock in the morning. The century Is
open to all riders of the District, and gold
medal will be awarded to all who complete
the run within the allotted time. The club
will furnish suitable pacemakers, and rules
suitable to the success Of the century have
been drawn up and promulgated
The public century of the Century Cycle
Club, which was to be given tomorrow. has
been postponed to an indefinite date. This
action was decided at the last regular meet
ing of the club and was due perhaps more
to the brief space intervening between the
time it was determined to hold such a con-
test and the date set for the same. The
committee in charge will proceed with the
work and announce later date for the
holding of the run.

Immediately following the thorough or

Bail team, the scrubs or reserves formed
themselves into a second team, and the
ease with which they beat the Central High
School team yesterday shows how strong
and we'll organized they
Most all of the second team players have
had some experience and with the coach
ing gained from the older Gallaudet players
and coachers a very fine team has been de-
veloped. The average age of the team
members is nineteen years. and the average
height about five feet, six inches.
Probably the best player on the team is
Samuel Nichols, captain and left end. from
Pennsylvania, who weighs 1874 pounds and
has played on the Reserves for the past
two years. Arthur Rink from Illinois.
weighing 137 pounds has been shifted from
right half back, which he played last
year to right end. and the change has
worked very well because of his fine speed.
Gilbert Erickson, left tackle, from Minneso-
ta and Fred Neesam, right tackle and a
new man from Nebraska, make two excel
lent tackles of average weight Of 1ol and
LAT pounds, respectfully. Arthur Norris
from Indiana, although having the rather
light weight of 14S pounds, is very strong
player at left guard, where he has played
the past three years. Right Guard ElWood
Norweli from Missouri IS the heaviest man
on the team, carrying 165 pounds. Center
has a very sturdy occupant in Frank john
son, 40 pounds weight, from Illinois.
The team is well filled out with four
good men behind the line. John Friend.
from Pennsylvania, is the lightest player
on the team, with but 125 pounds weight
but he is accurate and agile handler OF
the ball. John Fisher. 132 pounds weight
from Pennsylvania, a previous player on
the scrubs, and William Strong, 135 pounds
weight, and a new man from Iowa, will
alternately render good service at right
half back while Daniel Moran, from Penn
sylvania Is a fine little left half back and
weighs 100 pounds. For full back Ernest
Cowley from Pennsylvania Is a rather light
man at 49, pounds but he gets good dis
lance out of his punts, and is the best
ground gamer on the team.

The associations candidates have been
practicing daily at Van Ness Park the past
week and they are turning out In
formidable numbers. Captain Eaton, who
played on the varsity of Williams College.
Williamstawn, Mass, for several years,
has had entire charge of the candidates,
but has not yet definitely selected any
team. The work thus far has
been of general and rudimentary
nature, designed principally to get
the men in good physical condition and
familiarize them with the various points of
the game in handling the bal in all its
phases. Negotiations are being made for
coach, and it is hoped to secure the
services of Mike Underwood, the old Co
lumbia Athletic Club player, within a
couple of days, when the formation of the
team will be rapidly effected.
