Chess received quite an awakening in this

Pillsbury in winning first prize at Hastings.

ters The enthusiasm thus created was
taken advantage of by several Chicagoans,
who formed the Pillsbury National Cor

Runge was elected president. Brigham vice
president. and Nourse secretary. For some
reason Glass was not elected to Office.

Pitcher Frank KilIen. who thought he
was better man than Pink Hawiey two
years ago, is getting his bumps with some
degree of regularity with the Toronto team

Jacklitsch relieved Mcfarland in the
eighth inning of yesterdays game at Phil
adelphia. When he came up to the plate
Callahan purposely gave him q straight
one and tipped him off. Jacklitsch landed
1t In center and took second. This was a
graceful thing for Callahan to do. Under
the circumstances 1t cost Callahan nothing
and gave deserving youngster quite a
boost.
Catcher Bresnehan. who is with the Chi
Cages, had been writing to Manager Allen
for some time asking him to give him a
trial with the Reds. Allen had seen him
play last season and considered him not
fast enough for the big league. So far
Aliens estimate of the man has proved to
be correct.
Capt Dick Padden of the Chicago
American League team, was fined 80 and
suspended for Ave days by President john
son because he protested against Umpire
Sheridan's action in putting Pat billiard
out Of the game Wednesday. billiard was
fined S for not obeying Sheridan's instruc-
lions to go to the bench.
Eugene Demontreville OF the Brooklyn
club declares that the Players Protective
Association will have the scalp Of Presi-
dent Johnson Of the American League be-
cause he is SO severe in the matter of dis
cipline with the players Of that organiza-
ton. It would require just such a move
to lose for the association all public SYM

with Mr.. Johnson in his work.
Philadelphia has just made the record in
the matter Of base hits In single game
in Thursdays contest with Chicago, when
twenty-five safe drives were registered
against Mr.. Callahan's delivery. 1t was a
fusillade that the Chicago twirler was pow
erless to check and the locals got one or
more hits in every inning except the fourth.

It Is believed that some OF the Texas

to other points because Of the duaran-
tine regulations against New Orleans.
The effort of Louisiana to have quaran-
tine raised by injunction from Upited
states courts Will not have very soothing
effect upon the direction of cotton ship
ments TO New Orleans. This Is mentioned
simply as a pointer in making up esti-
mates; how much to allow. II anything.
for this cause must be left to each mans
judgment.

A Negro Killed by an Omcer.

Beumont, Tex.-G. W. Tate, clerk
in Hewsan's drugstore, started out to
make an evening call at Orange, Texas.
While going along the elevated side
walk two men, who were in hiding
under the walk, grabbed him by the
leg, threw him down, and leaping
upon the walk began shooting at him.
One of the balls passed through the
calf Of the leg. Another passed
through the clothing on his breast,
setting his coat ON fire. Tate strug-
gled with the mon and tore the mask
from the face of one, but on account
of darkness failed to recognize him.
He managed to draw his pistol, how
ever. and fred four shots at the men
as they fed; going in different direct
ions. Tate was then taken to his
home and his wounds dressed. A
possee was formed, bloodhounds were
put on the trail and followed one to q
negro shanty. Will Bland and DIR.
E w. Brown we're with the dogs as
they went into the yard. AS they
went in. Jake Day, negro, began
shooting at the officer from the house.
They commando him TO stop, saying
they were officers, but he continued
shooting, one ball grazing Will Bland's
cheek. Bland dropped to the ground
to get out of range, and as he fell,
DR. Brown, thinking he had been
shot, fired at the negro, killing him
almost instantly.
