FOR FLEIscHMANN.
Tom Walsh Will Train Exclusively
Next Season.

New York, Oct. 10-Thomas Welsh.
for several years identified with both
the Fleishmann and Farrell stables, it
was announced would train next season
exclusively COR Mayor julius Fleish-
mann of Cincinnati.
The Fleishmann stable has been a
strong factor on both eastern and west
ern courses for many years, and the
white red and blue cross sashes. white
cap have shown in front in many a
classic event. The sale of the Farrell
stable, which is scheduled for some time
during the Morris Park meeting, leaves
Trainer Welsh free to devote his entire
interests to the F1eischmann stable next
season
With Mayor Fleischmann's we'll known
liking for the sport, and the probability
that he will not have his time taken up
so thoroughly next year with munic-
ipal matters in Cincinnati, there is every
likelihood that his stable next season
will be greatly strengthened and again
become one of the importnt factors of
the eastern turf
This season the 2-year-olds of the
string proved disappointing in the main
the best of the lot probably being the
Hurstbourne colt. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. F1eischmann will again come
to the front with a string of good per-
formers. and with Trainer Welsh in
charge the prospect of a successful sea
son in 1908 is decidedly good.

Boer Generals Turned Down Proposal
to Meet Emperor William.

Berlin, Oct. lot has developed that
the Boer generals declined in a telegrarhic
message to seek presentation to Emperor
William through the British ambassador
and the fact has produced an extraordi-
nary commotion among politicians and
courters. No later than last Monday the
foreign office received a message from the
generals announcing that they had not
the slightest objection to applying for an
interview through British government

willing to countenance the interview

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN DIET.

At the Battle Creek Sanitarium Food
Laboratory researches in dietics have
been conducted for over a quarter of
century by skilled physicians and chem
lists, including very extensive expert
ments made on animals and human be-
ings. One of the most interesting dis
coveries is the Importance of dextriniz-
ing the starch of foods as a means of
preventing and curing indigestion,
especially acidity, gastric catarrh, con-
stipation, brain flag, ricketts, in children,
weak muscles in adults. AS a result of
thousands of experiments a new choice
food has been produced called Toasted

and actually prevents and cures these
maladies. This sweet, toOthsome food

Michigan Does Great Work
Against Agricuiturists.
Wolverines Score 119 Points
and MakeIt a Shutout.
IN A DAN PATCH GAIT.
Yost's Men Simply Swamp OPP
posing Lansing Eleven.
Lawrence and bernstein Play
Star Game of the Day.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 10.-Yost's
racehorses went down the field at a
Dan Patch gait and the final score of
the game with Michigan Agricultural
college was: University of Michigan, 119;
Michigan Agricultural college, q. When
the first half ended the score stood Il
to in favor of Michigan, and it looked
as if the record of 128 to made against
Buffalo last year would be beaten. but
the substitutes were put in during the
second half. and only 4S more points
could be added.
The game was scheduled for rs and 20
minutes halves, and had this part of the
programme been carried out the Michi-
total of 12S points. But the first half
was cut to 20 minutes and the last half
to is minutes. in order to let the Agrt-
culturists catch a train.
The Wolverine half backs simply ran
their opponents off their feet, and the
record made today shows that one
touchdown was scored for every minute
and 81 seconds of play. Lawrence. who
had kicked every goal he tried for this
season, missed one today. but he sue
ceeded in planting 10 out of the 20
squarely between the goal posts. About
three plays was the average Michigan
was required to make for a touchdown
from the kickoff by the "Aggies."
At the first crack Hernstein caught
the ball on the 20 yard line and ran the
80 yards through the field for a touch
down. In fact, Henry played the star
game of the day. and. although badly
winded from his long and fast runs. he
stuck it out nearly to the end. Graver
was nut in at half back. and did some
clever lodging.
Capt. Weeks made the most spectacu-
lar play in the second half. He caught
kickoff, but stumbled and fell. An
Agrarian fell upon him, but Weeks wig
gled from under and got away. He then
shook off five tacklers before he could
be stopped.
Diclzey went in during the second half,
and the Chicago lad made a great hit
with the rooters by bis running and
lodging. He had the "bleacherites'
upon their feet several times, and all
were yelling ''Dickey!" There seems to
be one big fault with the youngster, and.
that is that he does not do the proper
work in interference for his team mates
when they are carrying the ball. Red
den did most effective scoring work for,
Michigan, also.
The Agricultural college made their
first downs but three times during the
game. Twice they, did it on line bucks
and once by a fake kick when Drew
broke through theleft side Of Afichigans
line for a 30-yard run
The only chance the Agriculturists
had to'score was,0 ON a. Kick from the field
from the 30-yard line. II. Childs at
tempted it, but it fell short.
The bali was taken away from Mich
igan and given to the 'Aggies'' twice
during the game for holding in the line.
On offensive work, Michigan was prac-
ticaly inVincible- Only once during the
entire game was it held for downs. The
men from Lansing could not solve the
interference formed for the end plays.

ON a RAMPAGE.
George Gibbs Had Busy Time After
Being Whipped.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 10.-George Gibbs,
the Cleveland pugilist, after being thor
oughly thrashed by Tommy Reilly in a
twenty round go here visited the dis
orderly section of the city the following
night and got into row with a woman
and choked her nearly to death. A man
interfered and promptly received a few
stiff body blows which put him out of
the business. Then Gibbs turned his at
tention once more to the woman and
administered severe beating.
Meanwhile the other inmates of the
house notified Patrolman Hubbard, who
arrived on the scene. Hubbard was a
blacksmith before he joined the force,
and weighs nearly 300 pounds Gibbs
declared that no policeman could arrest
him, and showed fight. Hubbard cuffed
his ears and Gibbs saw stars. He went
down, and when he came up again
hurled a lighted lamp at Hubbard,
which. set the house on fire. Then he
turned to make his escape, when Hub
bard's handcuffs struck him square in
the neck and he tumbled abjectly into
the arms of Patrolman Freeman, who
had just then arrived.
