National League Race.

1t has been week of tribulations for
the western teams in the east, but, de-
spite the poor showing of the visitors,
the aspect of the National League race
has changed but little in the last seven
days. Chicago finishes the week in
about the same spot where it began, but
Cincinnati goes several notches lower in
the scale. as is also the case with St
Louis. Neither of the latter two teams
have shown any striking reversal of
form. but they have lost just enough
games to imperil their fairly good stand
ing in the race
Few of the games had have had any
particular depressing effect on the
Brooklyn aggregation. The bridegrooms
are still very much in the race, and pro-
baby will continue so to the end Their
lead has been slightly cut down, but the
quakers, who are nearest to the cham
pions, have shown such an uncertain
form that no confidence can be placed in
the Phillies when it comes to a home
stretch race.
Boston has been playing a strong
game on its own grounds and has i'm
proved in the race. Cincinnati and st.
Louis have had reverses. and the giants
have as usual been troubled with sink
ing spells. Pittsburg and Philadelphia
have been playing the most consistent
ball during the week, even if not the
most brilliant.
To Chicago the most important hap
penings have been the transfer of Mertes
to shoTtstop and the acquisition of
Pitcher Heirnerl. Clingman, after being
buffeted about, proved to be a failure at
short principally through his weak bat
ting.

M'GovERN SAYS FITz
The Little Brooklyn Fighter Picks
the Kangaroo to Win.

New York, July 30.-Terry McGovern,
the greatest little fighter. of the age, saw
T1tzsimmOns today He looked LanlEy Bob
over roughly and then declared that Ruh-
lin would be beaten by the blacksmith
inside of ten rounds. ~McGovern thinks
says he is a whole lot better than some
of the fighters who place themselves in
line for the heavyweight championship.
Here is Terry's story:
Il hate this business of picking winners
of fights for the newspapers. They say
would prefer to go along with my own
private opinion as to the result and then
bet my bundle accordingly.
MY reasons for believing F'itz will win
are simple He has the punch and that s
everything. Rubin may have a few him
the hardest. Many think that this busi-
ness of feinting, side-stepping and duck
ing is all there is to the fighting game
The one thing necessary in all cases is
the punch That wins all my fights and
1t wins a whole lots of craps for the
other fellows.
when I hear some of the fly ones say
F1tz is too old 1 feel like opening up on
them and saying what I think. Fitz may
be old but he is not half as old as others
several years younger. He has taken good
care of himself and yesterday looked just
self into fine shape and looks big and
sound. He is as clever as any of them
and is quick as a flash He has got
the side step and feinting game down fine
and has the hardest kind of a punch be-
hind 1T ALL He can take a beating. too
Rubin. Madden's man will find him
brand-new. I may be wrong, but really
can't see Rubin. He is a good friend of
mine and don't think he'll be offended

Buffalo. The bisons. who at present are
playing series in Chicago, have been
playing top-notch ball for over a fort
night. Coco critics have even been con-
f1dent to pick the bisons for one, two,
three honors but this piece of good for
tune is hardly likely to fall to the lot
of the Buffalo crowd. Had the bisons
more good pitchers to draw on they
could really be regarded as most dan
gerous lot.
Indianapolis and Milwaukee are still
going it neck and neck for that second
niche in the race. This at present is the
only feature that lends zest to the race.
The white stockings have such a COM
Portable lead that the competition for
first place can hardly be regarded more
than spirited. OF course, with the rest
of the teams playing a strong game, the
locals have no mortgage on first honors
but they must be considered the most
dangerous by a long way.
Among the rest of the teams Detroit
is still playing strong ball.. Minneapolis,
after sustaining a shut-out by Indianap-
oils Friday, turned the tables Saturday
by soundly trouncing the boosters. Min
neapolis is still sitting on the neither
limb, but the millerS are not out of call
They will, however. have to show phe-
nomenal form to do better than finish
in the second division. Cleveland is play
ing a fair game, but not as good as two
weeks ago:

Fitz Has One Which He Hopes Will
Put Ruhlin to Sleep.

New York, July 30.--Bob F'itzsimmons
has invented a new blow, which he ex-
poets to use on Gus Rubin in their bat
tie at Madison Square garden August
10. 1t is a left 'whirlwind swing" as
Bob puts it, and the Cornishman says
that if landed properly it is even more
effective than his famous solar plexus
punch that knocked out Corbett at Car
son City.
The blow is a simple one apparently,
but only a man of F'itzsimmons' exper-
ience can work it successfully. In max
ing an effort to execute the blow F'itz-
simmons assumes his natural pose and
makes a feint with the left. Instead of
letting the hand go forward, however,
he drops it to the extent of the arm
with chain lightning speed, and, bring
ing it up again in semicircle, sends
it over to his opponents jaw. The blow
carries with it terrific force in addition
to speed.
The maneuver gone through in execut-
ing the blow is apt to throw his op-
ponent off his guard and leave the de-
sired spot exposed. FitZsimnOns has
been working the blow on big Bob Arm
strong, and he is satisfied that if the
opportunity is offered to send his new
conner in it will end matters at once.
This is not the only new punch F'itz ex-
poets to spring on the Akron giant. He
says he has any number of new ones,
any of which will get the money if it
reaches the right place.

Four Wichita Women Injured
in a Runaway.
Thrown From a Carriage With
Violent Force.
MRS. GILBERT DEAD.
Heads and Bodies Crushed by
Contact With a Tree.
Hundreds in the City Park Wit
ness the Horrible Accident.

Wichita, Kas., July 30.-Four ladies
dr1vlng in the park Saturday night

bridge He ran away, overturned the
carriage and threw the occupants to the
ground with terrific force. Miss Grace
Gilbert died from her injuries. Mrs.
Blanche Chandler Miller is not expected
to recover. Miss Ella Chandler is Sc
riously injured. The other occupant,
Miss Schriver, escaped with slight in
juries.
The young ladies were out driving in
a trap drawn by a single horse at the
time of the accident They had been
driving over the city during the early
part of the evening.
The driver struck the horse a smart
blow, which cauMed him to dash away
on run across a bridge at the park.
When the other end of the bridge was
reached the horse started to turn west
but had gained such headway that it
was impossible for him to make the
abrupt turn at the bridge and on ac-
count OF this the trap was overturned
near the large tree in the flower beds at
the end of the bridge.
The young ladies were all thrown out
and hurled to the ground with terrific
force, three OF them. Mrs. Miller. Miss
Gilbert and Miss Chandler, striking the
tree. Miss Schriver was thrown some
ten or fifteen feet farther on than the
others The three ladies were all lying
close together sUSrounded by parts of
the trap. and when taken out were all
unconscious. The park was filled with
people at the time and many came to
the assistance of the injured ladies.
When found Mrs Miller's head was be-
tween the rear springs of the trap, and
it was with some difficulty that she was
removed. Blood was coming from one
of her ears and the injuries on the side
of her face were severe.
Miss Gilbert received a very bad cut
under her chin, was injured in the back
and also internally, one thumb broken
or dislocated.
Miss Ella Chandler was injured in the
back and badly bruised on the side of
her body. She was the first to regain
consciousness.
Miss Schriver, when picked up, was
found to have bad cut under her arm
and an ugly bruise on her forehead,
but nothing further.
The injured people were quickly
moved to their homes by the ambulance
and patrol wagon and physicians i'm
mediately called. Mrs Miller was un-
conscious when removed to her home
but Miss Gilbert regained conscious
ness just before the ambulance arrived
on the scene.
After arriving at the home a more
thorough examination of Mrs. Miller's
wounds were made, and it was found
that there was a concussion of the
brain, besides internal injuries.
After an examination of Miss Gill
berts injuries DR.. Purdue stated that a
number of ribs were broken on her
hand in a bad condition with a thumb
dislocated, and that at the time of the
injury she was bleeding internally. She
lived but a short time.

Coy was out for "a stroll with a few

greeting.

any harm was done and the crowd was
indignant because the impending clash

Thinks the Akron Giant Will Win
the Bout From Fitz.


New York, July 3O-Kid Mccoy, one
of the cleverest of all big men, is great
1y interested in the outcome Of the Fitz-
Rubin bout. After summing up the
styles of both men he gives the follow
ing opinion of the battle and predic-
tion as to the result:
There is no getting beyond the fact
that the fight will be one of the best
In years. 1t brings together two men
who seem very much alike, but at the
same time are vastly different. They
are both big, strong and game to the
core, but their styles of fighting are in
teresting, if for nothing else than the
sake of argument. Before l go fur
ther I wish to say that / think Rubin
will win and get the money before the
bell has changed eleven times. l have
reasoned the matter out and can see
no other result
given credit for. He beat Sharkey
scuarely and fairly. and in doing so
accomplished a trick that even Jeffries
couldn't pun off. He outfought Shar-
key at all stages. Any man that can
do that is entitled to consideration with
anybody. Everybody knows how strong
the sailor is how he can punch, and how
he can take a wallOp. It's history that
Jeffries couldn't reduce him to state
of Inconsistencies Corbett couldn't,
nor could I.
.Ruhlin comes along and does the
trick handily. This performance alone
gives him more than an even chance
with Fritz. Besides that, the Sharkey
fight gave him a lot of confidence in his
ability to do things And this is going
to help him with Fitz.
"I am not undertaking F'itz in the
least but | feel that he is going up
against a stiff game this time. He will

an unpleasant experience here Satur-
day afternoon. To a number of men
in the Pacific hotel lobby at noon he
