were killed. The latest news from
Zululand is that in the recent fighting
at Prospect and ITALIA the Beers lost
most heavily. Some reports state that
they had 200 killed in both fights. the
Beers rushed the posts across open
ground, thinking that they were weak

The one session idea does not seem
to meet with popular approval in
Paducah. OF course in cities it has
its advantages, and might have them
here, but there Is u serious question
whether or not it would prove a sue
cess. II would doubtless please the
pupils, because it would not keep them
in school so long. Il would also
please the teachers. because they
would not have to work SO long, and
would have more time to themselves.
Whether tho effect would DO banef-
cial from an educational standpoint or
not, however, is something that ad-
mits Of considerable doubt. One thing
that is Objectionable about it is that 1t
would revolutionize things in nearly
every household in the city. There
would not be time for at least a large
per cent Of the pupils TO go home for
dinner, and they would have 10 take
their dinners. which many Of them
object to doing, and which would

WON HARD EARNED GAME
Wilmington Defeated the Chester Athletics
by a Score Of 3 10 9

In the greatest game played here this
season, the Wilmington Baseball Club de
'feated the Chester Athletics yesterday
afternoon by score of to 2.
1t is hard to determine to whom the
credit of the victory belongs, but il can
be said safely that Day, Burehail and
Hoffman were the principal factors. For
six innings not run was scored by
either side, but in the seventh the locals
got one over the plate. Then it was the
crisis came. In the ninth, with no one out
and the bases full, Billy Day, who had
pitched n superb game, injured his finger
so badly that he had to retire and Bur
chall was substituted. 1t is seldom that
a pitcher has to face such a proposition,
but 'Burch' proved himself equal to the
emergency and not a hit was made of
hm the rest of the game. The first man
up struck out; Diggins following, hit a
grounder to short, which was quickly
handled by Walker and thrown TO second
scoring a put-out for Barker. Barker re-
turned the ball TO Coffey at first in time
to make n double play and retire the side,
but Mr. Cofey dropped it and allowed a
run to be forced in.
Before the side was retired another run
was scored by juggling the ball in an at
tempt to catch a runner between third
and nome.
A-.ngs looked blue for the home team,
but by timely hitting and clever base
running the locals were able to draw two
and won the game amidst great excite
ment..
The score follows:

Big WAGER STORY
Wealthy PiLtSbuTger Says No
Syndicate Was Formed
Or Ragers Of Sl5O,OOO Made BIZ His
.- - %.
Fellow CitizenS-S5 Limit
in Poker Games

Pittsburg, Sept 5.-Mr. James A,
Chambers. president of the American
Window Glass company, whose name
has been used in connection with the
stories Of gambling on the recent trip
of the Deutschland, and as member
! of the Pittsburg syndicate, which, as
.siwas alleged bet s250,0OO to S15o,OOO on
I9the American cup defender, last night
7fssued the following signed statement:
l"With Mr.. NJ. X. McMuilen and sew
eral other gentlemen 1 was in Europe
on business. We came back on the
Deutschland and there met many prom
inent Pittsburgers, among them being
A. r. Peacock, d. M. Clemson, Hum
I, phreys Miller, John X. Dryden and w.
T., Muslin. Some of them We're return
ing from their vacation and having no
business cares were enjoying them
selves.
Every day we had auction pools on
the days run Of the ship. Twenty men
were in each pool which averaged 500
to $780, Another day we had one large
hat or decimal pool. In this pool were
10 men who put in $25 each, making
$3.50. All the other pools were for IS
each or $50 altogether.
Some Of our party played more or
less poker every day during the voy-
age, the limit of our game being S5.
There was no such betting in the poker
games as has been published. The
largest pot on the entire trip did not
exceed s100. There was no other poker
or card game participated in by any
one in which the stakes were any
higher than the game mentioned so
that the betting was not extraordinary.
Regarding the alleged wager of
s25O,000 to S15OOOO said to be made
by a Pittsburg syndicate of which 1 am
supposed to be a member, / want to
say as plainly and as distinctly as l
can there is no such wager so far as
Pittsburgers are concerned. No syndi-
cate Of Pittsburgers was formed in New
York in this city to put up S250,000,
or any other sum and no certified
check on any prominent bank or any
other bank for that purpose. was issued
here yesterday. I do not know the
intention OF OF the publication OF the
story Of the bet and the publications
about gambling, but I do know there
is no truth in them
Owing to the wide publication, the
matter has received within the past
few days, deem it necessary to make
this statement on behalf of myself and
friends. (Signed) ]. A. CHAMBERS %
Mr.. Muslin was shown the statement
of Mr.. Chambers and said: "As far as
the gambling on the ship is concerned
! have already entered my absolute
and explicit denial. So far as my con-
nection with the wager on the result
of the yacht race is concerned, I con-
slider the incident closed, and so under
no circumstances will consent to be
quoted in the matter" -f
