Rock Given to President

Washington, May -. The rock
which was thrown ut President
Roosevelt at Cripple Creek, during
the presidential campaign of 1900,
was presented to hla today by Phil
ip Schuch, prominent mine owner
of that region. 1t is a good-sized
chunk of gold ore which assays at a
substantial figure. incidentally Mr..
Schuch related hitherto untold
phase of the demonstration upon
that occasion.
GA man named Fowler threw this
piece of rock at the president but
intended no injury. He had wanted
to present it to Colonel Roosevelt,
but the crowd was so dense that he
could not get near enough to hand
it to him, so he pitched 1t over the
heads of those in front.

between these two clubs Thursday af-
ternoon, when Waycross won by a
score of to O.
On account of the heat, the captains
of both teams had agreed before the
game commenced that only seven in

was called at the end of the seventh,

WAS A LIVELY SICK MAN,

Made His Escape From Convict
Camp While Attorney Was Plead
ing for Him.
While Attorney Hayward, with a tre-
NOR in his voice, was pleading with
Judge Barrow to have Jesse Sexton re-
moved from the changing to the coun-
ty Jail, on the ground that the pris-
oner was scarcely able to hold his head
up, on account of sickness, he was yes
terday morning interrupted by the an
nouncement by Sheriff Schwarz that
his client had escaped from the camp
and was at large. Even as the at
torney pleaded the so called invalid
had been evading the sleuth hounds
of justice with a watchfulness not Of
ten found in the decrepid and infirm.
Mr.. Hayward was as much surprised
as was the court at the announcement.
though he did not appear os much
amused at it. But what was his cha
grin to learn that not only had Sex
ton done a hot foot from the camp.

as they please, and play ball or not
as suits them.
This war between the two big
leagues is the ball players harvest,
financially, but 1t is sure to be the
ruin of many of the best men, too.
Whenever the time does come that
these leaguers get together and have
a mutual understanding between them
respecting each others contracts and
refusing to employ man unless an
conditionally released by the club that
owns him, these men who have run
riot during this time of chaos in the
business will find it almost impossible
to curb themselves to the rules and
regulations that will be made and en-
forced by the managers and club Off
Gals. Rebellion in a few cases will
probably result and those men will
pass out of the game. So this war is
not only the ruin of the magnate, but
has its evil effects on the ball player
as well, although at present he sees
nothing but glittering visions of pock-
cts lined with gold. This dream is
likely to be shattered almost any
time

a match race between three of the

offered by Jack Prince as a drawing
card for the opening of the Coliseum
next Thursday night. The six-day
race, which will be in every respect a
novelty to Savannahians, will come la

Prince thought it over yesterday and
decided that it would be better to
have a big bunch of riders in six
days match. For this reason he eli
ed it off until the big string from the
East reaches Savannah. Then the
whirl of the wheels and the pop and
crack of the motorcycles, will be
heard in earnest. The drawing card

Prince extends a cordial invitation to
Savannahians to ride out to the track
and see the men grind out a score or
r.ore miles. Even while training the
men move at a terrific gait, and al
though the sport Is not quite so excit-
Ing as when they are fighting each
other for both money and fame it is
intensely interesting. 1t is expected
that large crowd will go out to the
track this afternoon and watch the
fast boys do some warming up.
Tomorrow morning Prince will be-
gin erecting another grandstand on
the northern side of the track and
there will be ample accommodations
for the large number expected on the
opening night. Prince only put UP the
Coliseum in this city as an expert
ment, but the public took to the game
so well last season that he finds 1t
necessary to make additions to his
buildings. While arrangements have
already been made for six weeks of
racing by the fastest men in the world
Prince expects to lengthen the season
into at least two months.

IN COURT OF ORDINARY.

On the statement that his brother
had given him all of his property be-
fore his death, J. c. Cornell had the
rule against him as temporary admin
istrator of his brother, ]. G. Cornell
dismissed i'll the Court of Ordinary
yesterday. Mr.. John H. Fox, the per-
nianent administrator, had the tempo
rary administrator ruled to show cause
why he had not made an accounting
on the estate. The explanation made
by the temporary administrator was
satisfactory to court and permanent
administrator alike and the rule dis
missed. Application for letters dis
mlssory will probably be filed by Fox
within the next few days, as the trust
has been executed in terms of the law.
Appraisers were appointed to make
an inventory and appraisement orlNthe

ORIOLES IN LAST PLACE.
Two Clubs Tied for Place in Each of
the Big Leagues.


The only change in position yester-
day in any of the three big leagues was
between the tail-enders of the Ameri-
can League, Baltimore and Detroit.
Only day or two ago Baltimore strug-
gled out of the last place, but she held
her own for only short time, as De-
troit, by beating her twice yesterday,
has again relegated her to the bottom
of the bunch.
In the National League Pittsburg
continues to add to her lead. Brooklyn,
too, gained a few points. but Boston,
who has been pushing the second club
close, fell down by losing a game to
Chicago. Cincinnati and Chicago are
still tied for fourth place with a per-
centage of 500.
In the American League there is a
tie for second place between st. Louis
and Chicago, who are but 10 points
behind the leader. Philadelphia, while
Boston, who also is playing good BALL
is only 10 points behind the holders Of
second place.
Nashville, the leader of the Southern
League, lost a game and consequently
several points in her percentage yes

100 points on her closest competitor,

PLENTY OF APPLES.
Northern Varieties Have Begun 10
Arrive and Quality Is Good.

Arrive and Quality Is Good.
This is the tantalizing season for the
lover of fruit. There is in the market
a dearth of those dainties that make
summers heat less unbearable while
there is yet no great abundance of
those fruits that are specifically au-
tumnal. There are always some to be
had but the disparity between supply
and demand keeps them out of the use
of all, for price is the mercury in the
meter of consumption.
Strange to say, there are a few wa
termelons to be had. They are out of
season and many fear to eat them so
late in the year, but here and there in
the green grocer's they are for sale,
and many are delicious too, though the
rinds are thick. They are grown in the
country around Savannah
The dealers say that this will be a
fine apple year. This luscious fruit is
already coming in and in good quanti-
ty. The stock is good and the prices
reasonable. Table varieties are now
selling at S2.25 to SO per barrel, whole
sale.
Pears. too, are displayed in the mar
kets, both Bartlett and Sickle. Good
qualities of Bartletts are wholesaling
at Sc to So per barrel and the Sickles
are selling at So per barrel.

GOOD TIMES RuINoUs TO BASEBALL DISCIPLINE.

These good times for the ball play
ers, good salaries and plenty to do,
are going to be their ruin, l fear"
said Manager Clark Griffith of the
White Stockings the other day. "How?
Because they have become too indie
pendent. Such a thing as disciplining
a ball player is almost unheard of
these days, because if he feels that he
is being ill-treated, no matter how
much he deserved his punishment he
can walk off, leave his team and get a
job without difficulty with almost any
other team in the country. There is
a dearth of good ball players, owing
to the demand created by the organiza-
ton of two major leagues, and there
are not enough to fill the places. Con-
sequently, some, minor league timber
must be used. The result is that no
matter which it is that gets on his high
horse, the crack player or the minor
Lacquer. it's all the same. A few days
of vacation will land him in another
berth as soft as the one just left. For
this reason a manager has practically
no control of his men. They can do

During the early afternoon the boys
were going at a lively clip when
squall broke over the track. The rain
fell in torrents. and the three men
were drenched to the skin before they
could bring their machines to a stand
still. The Swede was leading the pace
and came near having a nasty fall on
the wet track. AS it was the boys had
an hours hard work cleaning up their
machines. Every joint had to be thor

riders got as much exercise from
cleaning the wheels as they would
have gotten on the track
A 15-MiIe Race.
The race Thursday night will be for
fifteen miles, and Prince has offered a
special inducement for a record. The
Terrible Swede is willing to wager that
he will take down the special price,
and had made a bet with Eaton on
the time that will be made. 1t really
amounts to a wager as to which OF
the men will cross the tape first, Jack
being confident that new record will
be made.

PRINCES STRING
OF CYCLE RACERS
Will Begin Six Days Events
at Coliseum Thursday.

Prince is confident for the reason
that all three of the men are record
breakers, and yet neither has ridden
on the local track, which is considered
the fastest in the country. Al
though riding under disadvant-
ages, the men found the
track exceptionally fast yester-
day and predict that before the season
is over many records viii be smashed.
The track, too. has been officially
measured and all records made go"
with the National Association. This is
an incentive for the men to do their
best. outside of the fact that the win
ners will receive big purses.
Friday night the three men will go
20 miles, and on Saturday night Is
miles. The winner of the match will go
against Bobby Walthour. the fast rider
from Atlanta. This special race will be
run next week and Prince expects a
delegation from Atlanta to witness the
match. Walthour will arrive during
the latter part of the week and get to
work at once.
