Bullman. Smith. and Creamer. The latter
lad. by the way, has shown considerable
Improvement in his recent races, and
promises to develop into the best jockey
in the Daily fold.
Merriment could hardly have lost the
first race with an equal break. She was
the last to leave the post and was catch
ing her horses very fast at the finish,
being beaten head and three necks.
The horses were very fractions at the
post in the first event and there was con
sequently quite a long delay. Eloim and
Dolce Far Niente seemed to be the chief
offenders.
Meistersnger showed himself to be a
much better horse than he was generally
supposed to be. He handled his heavy
weight well and would have won in an
other jump.
Apple Jack was never prominent at any
stage in the first race. although with the
light weight up he figured to be con-
tender.

anything from n single to a home run.
Gates maintained the reputation of his
predecessors by contributing a single and
double.
Used Four Slab Artists.
Four of the local pitching staff were
utilized yesterday. Orth was first sent
into the box and amused himself for t~o
innings by tossing up the leather so that
the Jerseyites could connect with COM
parative ease. He received excellent sup
port, however. part of which was con-
tributed by himself, and not man reach
ed the initial sack. In the third inning.
after Gates had grown accustomed 20
Orth's STYLE the big fellow let out lew
kinks in his twirling apparatus and IN
luced McManus to wave his club grace
fully. yet fruitlessly. three times.
He was succeeded by Townsend, who
was found to rather better effect. The
visitors succeeded in colliding with his de-
livery for single and a two-bagger.
Townsend assumed control of the Sena-
torial delivery in the fourth inning and
remained in the box until the end of the
sixth. Lee then made his appearance and
tossed them up for two innings. He was
touched up for an equal number OF safe
ties but was more fortunate in the sup
port he received and not a Jerseyite cross
ed the plate Patten did the honOrs in
the last inning and escaped scathless.
The Senators failed to count in the first
inning. but Coughlin started the trouble
in the succeeding time at bat He was
the first one up. and, waiting patiently
until one TO his liking was tossed over
the plate. he cut loose and planted the
ball between right and center. The
ground had hardened considerably and
when Coughlin's liner struck terra hrma
it continued on its way toward the center
field fence without an appreciable dinin-
ishment in speed.
Game in Detail.
While Shoch and Woods were nimbly
chasing the truant sphere, Coughlin was
giving an exhibition of sprinting that
brought him cross the home plate long
before the leather was returned into civ
ilization. In the succeeding inning a COM
bination OF a two-bagger by Ryan and
singles by Wolverton and Delehanty con-
tributed two more to the Senator's side
of the tally book
A two-bagger by Ryan. and a duplicate
donated by Gates, capped by Keister's |
single. contributed another tally in the
fourth. Coughlin's hit, assisted by the |
larceny of the second cushion, and by /
Carey's safe one. gave the Senators an
other score in the fifth inning.
Ryan opened the sixth inning with a /
waliop over the left field fence, and an !
error by Clark gave Lee his base in the |
eighth. He went to third on Ryan's hit. /
Child's tumble of Ciarks throw to prevent |
Ryan from stealing the second cushion |

AN INTERESTING CONTEST
Game Characterized by Clean Playing
Warm Weather Loosens Up the Ball
tossers-Another New Catcher-Sena-
tors Slug the Ball-Score 7 to 2.

Again did Tom Lotus aggregation of
ball tossers. easily and without apparent
effort. take the New Jerseyites into camp
yesterday. and proceed to wallop them
for the third time running. 1t was more
like baseball game. however. than any
of the previous contests. The tallies
were evenly distributed among the sew
eral innings. and the Senators were con-
tent to win the game by a narrow mar
gin.
The weather. perhaps, had great deal
to do with this Improvement. which was
noticeable in the work of the home team,
as well as in that of the visitors. The er-
ror column grew positively lonesome. so
few were the times that it was ca
upon. The only serious error. in fact it
was the only one made by the Senators,
was negotiated in the fourth inning by
Wolverton.
AS result OF this misplay two Jersey
ties crossed plate with the only runs ac-
cumulated by them during the game.
Shoch opened proceedings in this inning
by receiving free transportation from
Townsend, who had succeeded Orth upon
the slab. This liberality upon the part
of the Senatorial twirler was followed
with donation of one single by Hailigan.
One Wild Throw; Two Runs.
With man on first and another on the
second cushion, Hayward cleverly hunted
the leather along the first base line. The
hit was gathered in by Townsend and
Hayward was thrown out at the initial
sack. but Shoch and HalIigan were each
advanced base by the play. With two
men on bases and only one out Townsend
settled down. and although Shindle swung
Justify at the ball three distinct times
he encountered nothing but the atmos-
phere and the situation assumed bright
er hue for the Senators
All unseen, however the dark angel of
misfortune was lowering over the Sena-
torial camp and its somber presence soon
had its impression upon the work of the
local team. Cupid Childs, the once
famous National Lacquer, was the instru-
mentality through which the evil was
wrought. He attempted to peel the horse
hide of the ball. but misjudged his swing
and the leather gently bounded toward
the third corner. Wolverton started after
the sphere. but fumbled the pickup.
This was bad enough, the play filed
the bases, but to make q bad matter
worse. Wolyerton lined the ball toward
first base, with forlorn hope of cutting
of Cupid" That is 1t is thought that
Wolverton had that intention in mind
when he threw the ball but the result
was rather the reverse OF what the Sem
atorial fielder expected.

Of the game will please take notice and
begin their annual howl against the
sport. Incidentally however it may be
suggested that in proportion to the
pumbeisof youths and young men en-
gagged in the game there are probably
no more broken bones resulting from
foot ball than there were from pull
away" or wrestling in the days of our
fathers. There are more young men
today and more of them play some
vigorous, manly sort of game. Foot
ball is still worth much more than it
costs, in the building up of strong
bodies for the habitation of strong
healthy minds.

A lazy liver may be only tired liver,
or starved liver. A stick is all right
for the back of. lazy man But it
would be savage as well as a stupid
thing tobeat weary man or starving
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging liver it is great
mistake to lash it with drastic drugs.
In ninety-nine cases ont of hundred a
torpid or sluggish liver is but symptom
of an ill-nourished body, whose organs
are weary with overwork. Let your
liver alone. Start with the stomach
and its allied organs of digestion and
nutrition. Put them in proper work
ing order, and see how quickly your
liver will become active and energetic
Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of
liver trouble by its wonderful control
of the organs of digestion and nutrition.
1t restores the normal activity of the
stomach, increases the secretions of the

system from poisonous accommodations,
and so relieves the liver of the burdens
imposed upon it by the detection OF

Battle Creek, Mich, Sept. Ia
Prompted by jealousy, A. E. Whitcomb
Of Chicago shot w. H. Sampson and
Mrs. Elizabeth Notter Thursday after
noon at the home Of Sampson. Mrs.
Notter was to have been married to
Sampson last night. She had been
keeping house for Whitcomb in Chi.
cago, but answered a matrimonial ad.
seeking a housekeeper.
IF she's satisfactory. I'll marrJ
her." was the way the advertisement
concluded. She got into correspond
ence with Sampson, who owns a small
fruit farm on the outskirts of the city
and is fairly we'll fixed.
They made arrangements to marry,
and the woman came here Wednesday,
Whitcomb found where she had conc
and followed. He came into the yard
yesterday afternoon and asked her
ten-year-old son, Joe Notter, where ais
mother was. The boy directed him to
the rear Of the house, where Sampson
appeared. Whitcomb asked to sec
Mrs. Notter. She would not see him.
Sampson then came downstairs to in
form Whitcomb he was not wanted.
The latter was flourishing revolver
and opened fire. Sampson started for
a closet, where he had shotgun, and
was shot in the back of the groin,
about where Mckinley was wounded.
He ran out of the house and to
neighbours, where he fell on the porch.
Mrs. Notter ran screaming downstairs
and was shot by the mono-manlac.
One ball grazed the back of her head,
and she fell. AS she fell he shot again.
She had thrown up her arms and the
ball went through both forearms. The
weapon was so near that the powder
burned her dress and even her flesh.
Whitcomb then went into the front
room and started to take carGollc
acid. The stuff burned his lips and
he thrust the bottle into his pocket,
spilling part of the contents on his
chest. He then raised the revolver
to his head and sent ball crashing
into his skull just above the right ear.
Mrs. Notter and Whitcomb were
taken to a hospital, where the latter
lies unconscious. He cannot live.
Sampson was believed to be dead a:
first, but was later taken to hos
pital 1t Is not believed he can live.
Mrs. Notter's wounds, though serious,
are not fatal. She and Whitcomb had
been living at 1922 South oakley ave-
nue., Chicago. That he did not treat
her kindly is gathered from the re.
mark Of her son, who says: MI.
Whitcomb used to go down town and
stay all day and then come home and
fight with mamma"
She was evidently afraid to meet
him, fearing trouble. The ten-year-old
boy Is her only child. Sampson has
two daughters. One Of them was an
eyewitness of the crime, together with
the little Notter boy. Mrs. Notter
made statement at the hospital. She
says that Jealousy was the only mo-
tive for the crime. Whitcomb, she
said. had been intensely jealous OF ner
since their relations commenced at
Chicago, and had often threatened to
kill her
