greyhound Little Sister beat Eugene
Geary's champion hound PaIo Alto yes
terday for final honors in the sixteen-dog

the tempting offers.

Palo Alto showed slightly in advance up
the field and taking possession rolled up
the first five points. Little Sister got in
and before relinquishing the game made
a good score By this time the coursers
had had severe trial. but PalO Alto put
on extra steam and tried to end the
course. The hare proved strong enough

Sister and lost possession. --fter a few
points Sister got the kill, winning the
stake by score of Is to Is.

of the Fight
of the Fight

DENVER Nov. 10-The strike of the
switchmen of the Rio Grande Railroad is
having but little effect on the traffic Of
the road, according to the statements of
the railroad officials tonight. The switch
engines all over the system were fully
manned to-day with the exception of
those at Alamosa and Salida The Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen say they will
stand by the decision of Vice Grand Mas
ter Lee. in which he declared that the
agreement between his organization and
the Rio Grande was still in operation, and
that it covers switching. The switchmen
employed on the Colorado and Southern
Railroad, who 1t was reported would aid
the Rio Grande men in their strike, deny
this, saying that they will continue neu

~ GORGE SILER, the famous ref
"a II cree and authority on things pu-
III gilistic, visited Ruhiin's training
W. quarters at the Six-Mile House
yesterday. Mr. Siler arrived
from Chicago Saturday night and he de-
cioed TO spend his first day on the coast
with Rubin and Billy Madden, with
whom he is friendly. AS soon as Siler
had greeted Rubin and HIS manager, he
expressed surprise at Ruhlin's condition.
You look better than you ever did in
your life" said Siler, as he eyed Gus crl.-
ically. Rubin admitted feeling the part
and said he was sorry his friend had not
dropped in on one of his working days,
when he could get a better idea of his
ntness to engage in a battle with the
champion Of the world.
Mr.. Siler was honestly Impressed with
Ruhlln's physical improvement. He has
seen the Akron giant in nearly all his big
tights. and he told Billy Madden that
Rubin looked bigger, healthier and live
her than ever before. While Siler would
not express an opinion as to whether he
thought Rubin would win or lose, it could
be CLEANED from the general tenor of his
conversation that he thought Rubin had
chance with the husky boiler-naker
Siler believes that Rubin is big and
strong enough to make things interesting

BOOTS" DURNELL
IS DISQUALIFIED
Horseman Well Known
Here Is in Trouble
in France.

PARIS. Nov. O.-C. T. C'Boots'O Dur
nell, the American jockey and trainer,
has been disqualified for life by the
Jockey Club on the ground that he delib-
erately remained at the post at St. Cloud
October 2S when he rode Londres in the
Prix de Marty Reroi
Durnell protests that his remaining at
the post was due to a misunderstanding.
He says he has ridden for years in the
United States and has never been sum-
moned before the stewards. Thomas H.
Williams Jr., president of the California
Jockey Club, stood sponsor for him when
he applied for the French license five
months ago. Durnell denies that he had
any relations with the bookmakers.

a OR FREEDOM, J. H. Rosseter's
$4,000 greyhound, is dead. .lS{
The great courser, whose sensa-
tional victories on the field and

progeny have made his name houSehold
word wherever coursing is known, sue
cumbed to disease superinduced by an at
tack of epizooty. which is prevalent here
among horses. He died yesterday at
Pasha Kennels, near ocean View.
For Freedom was bred by the great Eng
lish coursing firm of Fawcett Brothers,
and was whelped in January, 1896. He is
by Sir Sankey-Flitting Far. He trav-
eled from England in a large wicker
crate and arrived here on March 16, 1898.
On March 10. three days later, he was
started in stake. There was much GU.
riosity among the coursing men TO see
him in action, and his owner took this
method of gratifying their curiosity
To the surprise of everybody he won
his first course and then the stake. The
betting opened at 10 to l against him.
From this it receded to IS to 1. In the
semi-final round he showed such turn
of speed that the odds were quickly ham
mered down to to 5. In one round he
met the greyhound Move On and led him
so far Judge Bull, who was in the sad
die, sent them back to the slips, thinking
Move On had not sighted the hare. The
second trial resulted the same, and then
1t was seen how fast For Freedom was.
He won nine stakes, including one on
the Merced plains, and was then retired
to the stud. His puppies, which have ap-
peared this year, promise to perpetuate
his name These include Cold Shivers,
winner of TIE rich Futurity stakes;

AN INSPIRING LETTER.
Merit the Recognized Standard OF The
Cumberland r. 4 r. Co.

Merit the Recognized standard OF Inc
Cumberland T. & T. Co.
Many Brookhaven people have been
attracted by the bright and handsome
face, the gentlemanly manners and
sturdy, business-like ways of Luther
Ramsey, the little messenger boy Of
the Cumberland Telephone Exchange,
who lives in this city with his widowed
mother. Not long ago Mr.. L. G., Cos
ney, the local manager of the Cum
berland, had a photo taken of little
Luther in his uniform and mounted on
his telephone bicycle, and mailed a
copy to the general headquarters of
the Cumberland at Nashville, Tenn.
In reply, he received an acknowledge
ment from Mr.. Leland Hume, secre-
tary and assistant general manager Of
the Cumberland, which may we'll serve
not only as an inspiration to the
worthy little messenger boy whose
photo elected it, but to every mes
senger boy and young man in
the Company's employ. The Cum
berland sets high standard for
its employees and will not re
tain those who are known to drink,
gamble and smoke cigarettes. With
it personal worth and honest merit
are the surest passports to promotion
and the way to advancement along
these lines is always open to the de-
serving.
Here is Secretary Hume's excellent
letter, which Mr.. Gosney has consent
ed for us to publish:
l.. c. Gosney, Esq, Manager. Brookhaven,
DEAR SIR: We are in receipt of pho
tograph of the messenger boy in
his uniform and on his telephone bi-
cycle.
Say to this young fellow that the
highest positions in the Company S
service are just as open to him as they
are to anybody; that merit is the thing
that goes with the Cumberland direc-
tors: that no man holding an official
position in the Company's service at
! this time has gained it except by hard
| favorites, picking our timber for ad-
vancement out of the best material
we can find. The President of
the Company came TO Nashville
without money and without influence
after the war During the bloody strug
gle he lived with his widowed moth
er on plantation near Shepherdtown
on the Iazoo River, and rode around
the country on mule, with sack for
a saddle and peddled for living. He
was so intensely Southern that he
would not sell his goods for anything
except Confederate money At the
end of the struggle he had accumu-
| lated quite little sum, which, of
course, was worth nothing But hard
work and brave determination to
succeed, like the penniless mans APP
| petite, were still left.
Tell this messenger boy also that a
large number of managers of the ex-
changes of the Company were ten
years ago messenger boys in small of
| fees.
We like his face and hope that we
will see and hear more of him as time
! goes on. Yours truly,
LELAND HUME,
Assistant General Manager.
