ADMIRAL CERVERA.
The Brave Spanish Officer Is Living
in Obscruity and Neglect in His
own Country,

Bellamy Storer, United States min
lister to Spain, who was spending few
days of his leave of absence in Den
yer, recently reports the Denver {Col)
Times, said in the course of an inter-
view: Poor old Cervera is living in
obscurity and comparative poverty
now. No Spanish minister would dare
to give him any post now, since he re-
ceived evidences of the good will Of the
American people. He gets no pay while
not on duty, and he can get no assign
ment."
There are few more pathetic figures
in modern history than poor old Ger
vera" That he went out of Santiago
under orders from Spain's political
representative in Cuba, and that he
knew he faced almost certain death,
together with the destruction of his
feet, there is no shadow of doubt. But
that frightful chance he took as
good sailor would take it, and after
one-sided battle, which was unparal-
leled for destructiveness, he was final
ly rescued in the very nick of time,
still dignified, still courageous, and
still every inch the man despite expert
ence that would have appalled, the
stoutest heart.
1t was no wonder that the American
people rose as one man to do honor to
such a brave foe. 1t was a mingling
of respect and admiration which a
brave people must always feel for
bravery wherever shown, and for de-
feat, bitter and overwhelming. yet
brave with dignity and self-re-
spect. No man deserves to stand high
er in the annals of Spanish heroes
than Cervera. Some day even Spanish
historians will do him justice, but we
fear it will be after he is dead.

HANDY COMBINATION,
by Simple Substitution of Wheels for
Runners, Motor Sled Is Made
a Summer Vehicle

The accompanying illustration
shows the development of the Whip
pie motor sled, which appeared last
February, and was at that time COM
mented upon by the metropolitan
dailies and some of the most promi-
nent and scientific trade papers. By
the simple substitution of wheels for
the front runners it has been trans
formed into a summer machine of
great possibilities. To elderly peo-
pie, and those of delicate health, who
object to the exertion of propelling
a bicycle or the mental strain of
maintaining a proper balance, this

seem unable to pull this affair off.
You tell me to get married and / try
to obey you, yet my suggestions don't
find any favor in your eyes. Perhaps
you will make suggestion yourself?"
My suggestion would be such an
exceedingly obvious one"
(Which is actually the reason 1 can't
see it for myself"
at is merely that you should make
an effort to obtain the woman you're
in love with"
But surely I'm more or less in love
with Margaret and Kitty, tool"
Believe me, very much less rather
than more"
Dear lady! By what signs do you
judge me?"
"By these signs" Mrs. Eden told
him. "When you are really in love
with woman you don't weigh her in
the balance with anyone else. She
stands above everyone, unique and
alone. You don't ask other women
their opinion of her; you force your
opinion on them. You are in her So
ciety as often as you can manage it,
and you are filled with solicitude for
her welfare whenever she is out of
your sight. You joke with her, laugh
with her, discuss with her, and disa-
gree with her. You quarrel with her
and make it up again. You lay open
to her the subject you have nearest
your heart, and in any difficulty your
first thought is to take her advice"
But there's no woman in the world
towards whom l feel like that but
you" said Holt with sincerity. "And-
and-but why-Lord! What a fool
you must think mel"
He moved close beside Mrs. Eden on
the sofa and took her hand between
his own!"
"Dear-my dear"-he asked her per-
suasively, "do you think you could ever
get to love me the least bit?"
Mrs. Eden turned away to hide her
smiles, and having subdued them
turned back with histrionic word
of surprise upon her tongue tip, but,
looking straight into his eyes, she sud-
denly threw away play-acting and
gave him the warm and happy truth.
"You dear and foolish person!" she
murmured, could you not see have
loved you for long?"
Now Holt, who hid some wisdom be-
meath much apparent folly, was wise
enough to let this query fall.-Chicago

GEORGETOWN WINS AGAIN.
West Virginia Loses to Local College
6 to O.

West Virginia followed in the path Of Co.
lumbar University yesterday. but did not
go so far. Georgetown scored twenty runs
to Columbian's nothing last Saturday, but
could get only eight men across the plate
yesterday against the University of West Vir-
ginia. This was West Virginia's first con-
test with GEORGETOWN. and from the bril-
liant work of the visiting men in the field 1t
is likely any succeeding games between the
two schools will prove decidedly interest
Ing.
A crowd of good size and enormous root
ing" capacity viewed the game. There was
plenty of opportunity for the rooters. West
Virginia played an errorless game, gathered
in the most difficult infield grounders and
the swifteSt liners to the outfield and SUP
ported a battery which held the hard-hit-
ting locals down to nine hits pretty well
scattered. Georgetown lived up to its es-
tablished record in the field, but rather
failed to locate Bowman, the visiting twir-
Ter. When even Morgan, the surest bats
man on the team, struck out the crowd
went wild
In the fourth inning the visiting nine suf-
fered severe accident. Midelburg and
Washer, center and right. respectively,
started toward high one from Bowling S
pat and ran as swiftly possible to keep
Il from going down the embankment They
collided just as Midelburg reached the bali.
When the other players picked UP the CEN
ter fielder it was found he had been severe
ly hurt about his eyes. His wound was
dressed on the field and the plucky out
fielder insisted on going on with the game

and he was then glad to part with him to
w. c. Daily. Yesterday he won his second
race for the father Of Jockeys and at the
nice price of to 1. The track was very
holding, and many small betters took ad-
vantage of the long odds knowing Trump's
partiality for stiff going. He won all the
way by three lengths the Referee and
Lucky Star fighting the battle for place
money, which went to the Referee by half
length. Lanceman was the horse from
which danger was dreaded. He was off
poorly and never dangerous.
Only six days ago Daily bought back his
three-year-oid selling platter Carroll D.. en-
tered to be sold for 1000. He bid a $50
advance on the entered selling price, and
took the horse. Many said: "Daly is fool
ish giving that price for Carroll ID. He
could have bought him for half the money"
In the handicap yesterday Carroll d. was
slated to carry 96 pounds, and Daly's other
horse, Himself, lis pounds. OF course they
were coupled in the betting, coming from
the same stable and, following up his
wonderful streak of luck, Daly's pair were
first over the line Carroll d. was ridden
out by d. O'Connor to beat his stable mate,
and 1t afforded him considerable pleasure
that Miles should play second fiddle to him
on Himself.

day in the sixth race. She is highly bred

Esher was top-heavy favorite. The race
resulted In a most exciting finish, first
Burns on Sparkle Esher being a head in
front, then Miles on Bobbinet passing her
again. No fault could be found with any
one and when Miles squeezed Bobbinet
home by a neck there was vociferous hand
clapping INDUCED in by the occupants of
the stand. Sweet Jane was third, beaten by
four lengths but the favorite made a very
Indifferent showing.
Burns won two races, and D. O'Connor
also was credited with two brackets Odom
and Miles shared the other two events be-
tween them. Favorites were victorious in
the case of Trentham for the fourth race
and Daiy's stable Carroll D. and HIMSELF

quick to take advantage of their opportuni-

In the seventh the Centrals scored three
more and wound up their days work in the
ninth with an additional four. The Easterns
chased two runs over the plate in the ninth,
making their total 7 against IS for the

Purcell pitched a beautiful game for the
Centrals and deserves great credit for his
masterful exhibition after the hitting of the

Easterns at every point.

by a Quaker city reporter as regards the
case in this city preventing him molesting
the Washington players, the colonel said
that he had received word from Nick
Young as to the Washington clubs re-
straining order, and was at loss to un-
derstand just upon what grounds the re-
straining order had been obtained.
ut seems" said the colonel, that the
bill of complaint was filed on April 23 and
ordered the National League a corpora
ton to show cause why it should not be
restrained from interfering with the players
of the Washington club from April 23 to
May g. Further than this l have no infor-
nation, as the Philadelphia club has not
been served with any papers in the case"
Edward j. Delehanty, who jumped from
the Phllies to Washington, Is quoted IS
saying that the Philadelphia club had no
right to order him to report. 1t is up
to the Philadelphia organization to answer
the order of the federal court" said the
reporter.
$50 far as serving papers upon the Ma
tonal League as corporation is con-
cerned.' continued the colonel, such
thing does not exist, and the federal court
has been misinformed. as we have not the
slightest doubt that when our case is pre-
sented the court will see the justice of our
claim
When asked what the restraining order
meant so far as the dates of April % to
May signif1ed, the colonel replied: Il
really don't know, except that the Wash

to obtain protection from a wholesale raid.

have been in correspondence with the Eng-
lishmen in the hope of arranging another
series of International matches but the
dismal failure of last years plans made
the Britishers very wary about issuing any
challenge until they were certain that they
could secure representative team to coma
over here and meet the Americans The
reported illness of the Doherty brothers,
the English champions made this seem
doubtful, but as they recently reappeared
for the season in the indoor championship
matches I'm London, the English officials
have evidently secured their consent to
come to America. Last year they were to
head the challenging team of visitors. but
backed out at the last moment and the
challenge had to be withdrawn.
Davis and Ward. the American cham
pions in doubles, who were so successful in
the English championship tournament at
Wimbledon last June, had intended TO try
again this season abroad, and now that
the English champions will probably be on
hand to meet them it is not at all unlikely
that they will make the trip again. In this
case the challengers will probably come
back with the American visitors at WimbIe-
don, and the International matches will be
held at Hoboken, y. J., as soon as the two
teams return and have a weeks practice to
get off their 'sea legs"

WASHINGTON BoWLERs WON.
Patapsco Navy Team Failed to Win a
Game

The five bowlers, representing the Patap-
SEQ Navy Of Baltimore, were in poor form
last night when they met the strong local
aggregation styling themselves the Sena-
tors, on the alleys of the Golden Eagles.
OF the three games bowled, the Balti-
moreans failed to once get over the 800
mark, and as result the Senators cap
tured the entire set by safe margins, the
locals putting up stiff contest from start
to finish. Ludwig of the Senators secured
the best average of the evening" 1872, while
Smith captured the high score mark, hav-
ing knocked over 215 pins in the second
game. The Patapsco bowlers comprise the
cream of the bowling talent of Baltimore
and the victory of the locals is most COM

American League Decides to Fight Ma
tional League to'a Finish.

The American League has officially de-
cided to fight the National League to the
bitter end in the present controversy for
players. AS a. result Of the call issued by
President Ban Johnson for a special meet
ing in Cleveland yesterday every club had
representative present.
The important baseball conference was
held In the Hollenden Hotel, and lasted
from II o'clock until nearly 3 o'clock. The
meeting was strictly a business one in
every way.
As soon as all the managers had gath
cred in the chief executives room, President
Johnson explained the entire situation as
It stands today. He submitted all the papers
OF the Philadelphia cases. which were
given him by the American League attor-
neys. James Mcnamara. secretary of the
Detroit club; ]. E. Bruce Of the St. Louis
club and H. J. Killilea Of the Boston club
who are considered three Of the most con-
servative lawyers in the business. looked
over the papers carefully. and it was their
unanimous opinion that the decision could
not hold in any other state.
They also said that the present cases
should be carried up to the higher court
for a final decision. Their views were sec
onded by the magnates present. 1t took
considerable time to review all of the pa
pers. and when it came to a vote It was
unanimously carried.
The American League attorneys were in
structed to proceed at once in drawing up
the papers to carry to the highest courts.
and In Philadelphia today bonds will be fur
nished for Lajoie, Bernhard and Fraser to
have the cases carried higher. The attor-
neys left Cleveland for Philadelphia right
after the meeting, and 1t Is expected that
the bonds will be filed late this afternoon,
President Johnson, Charles Somers and
John kilfoyl had broad smiles spread over
their faces after the meeting. When an
proa ched Ban Johnson said that everything
looked brighter than ever.
Il submitted all the papers in the Phila-
delphia cases to the magnates" stated
Johnson and they were all unit in stat
Ing that they could not see how a. per-
petual Injunction should be granted against
La]oie, Bernhard and Fraser. We have de-
cided to fight the cases to the end, and will
carry them up to the higher court, and our
attorneys will furnish bond. They have
been instructed to act at once, so these
players can re-enter the game as soon as
possible.
I'm the meantime I am not looking for
further trouble from the National League
In this respect. Everything looks bright
for the American League. We are sure to
win. The best lawyers in the country are
surprised at the decision Of the Pennsyl-
vanta supreme court and we are Just as
confident OF victory as ever"
What about the St. Louis cases?' was
asked.
They will all come out in favor Of the
American League. Mr.. Bruce has been
giving the matter his personal attention and
he says that the ruling will be in our
favor"
