Denver Ed Martin viii accompany

ner during the training. Madden says
that Martin is clever for a big man.
and predicts that he VIII be an ideal
man for Gus to work out with.
Rubin has improved wonderfully
over his form OF a couple of years ago,
said Madden today. He is really a
clever, heady fighter, and he Is liable to
surprise the wise ones when the two
big fellows get in the ring next No
vember. / know Of course that JEFF
has improved too, but am willing to
wager that Rubin viii win"
Both Delaney and Madden were anx-
,5ous to have the articles stipulate that

TO STOP AUTO RACE.
Temporary Injunction Is Granted by
the Court.

Providence, r. L, Aug. 27.-Judge Will
burn, the appellate division Of the SUI
preme court today granted a temporary
injunction restraining the National Au-
tomobiIe association and others from
holding automobile races on Ocean av-
enue, Newport A hearing will be Civ
en- next Wednesday on the application
for a permanent injunction. The bill in
equity was brought by owners of the
property abutting on Ocean avenue.
The race which was to have been held
next Friday was destined to be the no
table event of its kind in this country
A prime mover in the affair was w *.
Vanderbilt, Jr.
1t is probable the contestants will use
mile track a short distance from
Newport, but that will be useless for
high power machines such as were used
in the Paris-Berlin races.
The complainants were represented
by counsel and no contest was made
against the granting of the injunction,
the respondent not be represented.

The prizes Will be on exhibition in some

Fort Scott now has a street car sys-
ten which would be a credit to q. city
of 5000 inhabitants, and our people are
proud of it. Only q few months ago
the street cars had stopped running,
would be torn up and the road aban-

management that had faith in the fu-
ture of the Solid City, took hold of the
road and spent money freely to inn
prove the rOadbed and equipment un-
til today citizens can ride to all parts
Of the city cheap1y and quickly. For
these reasons our citizens feel kindly
to the street car company and should
patronize it literally. The consolidated

ing drilled for the electric railway was
finished Saturday and a careful test

INSISTING or s1LER.
Big Fight May Be Declared of If Chi
cagoan Doesn't oficiate.

San Francisco. Cal. Aug. 27.-While
the championship fight between Jefries
and Rubin is still ten weeks away, it
is already in the air that the question
of the referee is going to result in more
than one debate. Even now it Is APP
parent that both men are inclined to
insist on George Siler, Notwithstanding
the assurances of their managers last
Thursday that there would be no
trouble in agreeing upon a local man.
Madden says there are undoubtedly a
dozen and perhaps more men in san
Francisco who are competent and fair
minded, but neither Jeffries nor Ruhlin
would go into the ring with the same
confidence as they would il George Sfler
was there to decide the contest. Mad
den says either Welsh or Ward Will
suit him, but he adds:
I'VE all know Siler, and don't see
what objection there can be to him "
The objec ton is that the supervisors
who control permits for fights were 50
disgusted when Charley White was
brought out to referee the AfcGovern-
Herrera fight, that they declared the
next club which tries that dodge would
be thrown down. Whoever referees the
big fight next Noven Der viii get $500
and expenses.

CHICAGO RETAINS LOTUS.
Announcement q Surprise as Lotus
Was Supposed to Go to St. Louis.

Chicago, Aug 27.-Tom LOTUS will
again manage the Remnants next year,
unless an unexpected hitch arises be-
tween him and the National League
club before the end OF the year
This prediction may come as a sur
prise to those who have heard the
rumors of Lotus connection with an
American League club in St Louis, and
who are familiar with the usual fate
of Chicago club managers who end up
the season with a tail-end club. Two
months ago the inner trend of events
indicated that LOTUS would not be with
the ChicagOs next season. Hart's as
sumption of authority in regard to
Doyle and other matters of club dis
cipline was another straw to denote the
way the wind was blowing. But just
ali a time when the Remnants were in
their worst slump the club rallied and
has since done as well as can be ex-
pected of q second class aggregation of
ball players handicapped by injuries
and all kinds of tough luck.

A Little Figuring on Remuneration
Of Ball Tosssrs.

OF Bali IOSS9TS-
A Cincinnati scribe has kept tab on
the number Of balls pitched in a game,
and he says they will average about
100 a pitcher. Let's figure a little on
this estimate, and get some fiscal
knowledge OF the baseball industry:
"A star pitcher is paid s2,400 for six
months work, at the rate Of s1O0
week. He pitches one game a week.
which allows him 81 for each ball he
slams at the batsman. Every time the
pitcher gives the batsman a base on
balls. there is 81 worth Of high-class
pitching gone to waste. Suppose the
batsrnan fouls one over the fence while
working for the pass2 This brings the
figure up TO S5.25, including the price of
the ball. which seldom comes back.
And when the pitcher soalSs the bats

pitched balls. the man who hires him -
