Comical Error from Accent.

Barney schrieber is now in 81, Louis
winning many races. Barney had an
odd experience one day when he was
making books. lie had employed a
lot OF new men, who were not very
well acquainted with his accent, and
on this particular day the old cam
palgner, Joe Doughty, was one OF the
starters, He was 20 In the betting
and money was coming in fast.
Schrleber kept taking the cash. calling:

the sheet man.
"Wass ist?" querled Barney again.
The man repeated that all the money

tumbled TO the accent part Of It. What
he said to his men can be furnished

His opponent shot first and went clean

up to the line and took aim. His hand
was shaking like happy dogs tain

1T was mistake when Heidrlck was
signed, and that move was made
against my strongest advice" Prest
Ban johnson Of the American League,
faid recently. "The taking Of Heidrick
made precedent which some OF the
other clubs followed. as Il was then
hard 10 draw the lire, although extern
Uating circumstances made Il seem
wise to be lenient IN some Instances.
One thing Is certain, however. No
more players who jump American
league contracts and so TO the National
Will ever be taken back into our league.
The bars win not be let down again
and the players Ike Sheckard, "Dum-
my" Taylor etc, will In the future be
entirely at the mercy Of the National
league magnates They win not be al
lowed another chance 70 get into the
American league no matter how low

continued Prest. Johnson, but hope
the most of it Is over.
"Of course this buying up OF players
which the National league has recently
INDUCED IN with the Cleveland as the
central point In It's attack. will not hurt
as great an Organization as the Amerl-
can league, although II may embarrass
certain clubs
THE American league could retaliate
IN kind and make systematic raid on
the few National league stars that re-
main, but II never has been the policy
Of the American league TO take player

II has had a previous claim upon the

PuGiLIsTs' AGES.


There always has been a curious de-
sire among the sports TO know the cor
rect age Of Robert Fitzsimmons says
the Denver Post, but so far no one has
been able 20 find out just when old Fitz
was born. IL has been taken for grant
ed that he first saw the light OF day at
Cornwall, England, 40 years ago, and
is therefore, the oldest fighter IN active
service today Fitz was raised In Aus
tralia, where he learned the trade of a
blacksmith. The fact that Fltz comes
from Australia brings TO notice strik-
ing feature about the fighters from the
Antipodes. Comparison proves that
with few exceptions the Australian
boxers are far more rugged than the
Americans and last longer In the ring,
At least such are the conclusions that
must I've drawn when we stop TO con-
slider that nearly all the old-tlmers In
.he ring today are from the land Of the
kangaroo. Bob Fltzslnmons Dan Cree
don, Joe Goddard. Frank Slavin, Billy
Murphy and several others, including
George Dawson and Young Critic, can
be taken as examples, Dawson, who
Is not much younger than Fitz, may

net cash for his hogs as he could realize

will be a dandy. 1t is not the intention 10
do any blowing of horns in this column,
but keep your eye on the packing inter
ests at Wichita this year.
All things come to him who waits, and
when they come to the Union stock yards
In this city some mighty good commits
sion men who have stood the storms of
the past years VIII be there to receive
them.

says the railroad keeps his hogs standing
at Mulvane, and when they arrive in this
city they are left on the downtown
switch for a few hours. and It takes him
as long to come 70 Wichita as it would
to SO 10 Kansas City, but he comes here,

that it made Il impossible for her to
move either her hands. arms. head or

three gentlemen on the stage. who having
satisfied themselves that Miss Fay was
firmly secured the performance began by
the fair Mahatma's doing seeming i'm
possibilities such as mailing n board on a
chair with a hammer, playing the tam

three representatives Of the audience
and the auditors also. Innumerable
tricks and clever receptions were prac-
ticed on the people by Miss Fay. After
the first part Of the show several Vau-
deviIle turns were done by the Lees,
John Semuels and Mr.. and Mrs. LeMoyne.
Miss Fay then displayed her wonderful
gift Of telepathy. One often reads of the
strange and weird things done by the
East Indian fakirs. but it is very seldom
that one has the opportunity TO witness

Hog Supply Was Better and

Cattle Market Was Strong to
10 Higher.
TOP PRICE WAS S6.17 10

There was somewhat better supply OF
hogs on the market yesterday than for
several days past, but the supply was
not yet equal TO the demand. The morn
ing dispatches showed an advance in the
Kansas City market, and the buyers
here promptly bid 10 cents higher. To-
ward the close some of the sellers claimed
that the buyers We're only bidding about
the same as the close on Thursday night
and some Of the hogs were held over.
There was no full load Of well finished
hogs among the offerings, about all the
car loads contained some light weight
hogs. The best load brought S6.175z, but
any kind of common mixed hogs, weigh
ing around 200 pounds, were good for
$500. provided they did not contain too
many common pigs. The buyers stin
show decided preference for the heavy
hogs, which may be seen from the quo
tations, when good medium weight hogs
sell for around $500 and pigs only bring
s.. 80. II the country shippers would keep
these figures in their minds they would
not lose so much money on light hogs,
but II doesn't seem 10 do any good 10 call
