Notes of the Game.

Notes of the Game.
The Saints play the second game
of the series with Kansas City this
afternoon. With the Blues playing the
ball presented yesterday, the fanatics
do not have to wait for the league
leaders to see real baseball.
Stuart. an umpire who worked in
the Northern league during the sum-
mer months, handled the indicator in
the game. Stuart is ahead of the 9TH
er umpires in running out the plays
on the bases, but he has many faults.
The new umpire appears to believe
that he is doing his duty when he sim
ply tells the spectators the identity of
the ball pitched. He forgets entirely
to number his strikes and balls. He
would appear to better advantage if
he followed the example of the other
umpires in this respect.
Rothfuss' carelessness on the paths
cost the Blues their chance to win.
Ferguson caught the outfieIder nap
ping at second, and whipped the ball
to Higgins. Rothfuss kicked, but Stu
art was right in calling him out. A
moment after this play Beville hit for
three bases.
Ferguson pitched shut-out ball and
so did Dale Gear. Ferguson issued one
pass. Gear famed Marcan and did
not permit single walk to first.
1t takes shut-out ball to hurry a
game through. The players of both
teams were keen after the win, and
went to the field and came back to
the bench with rush that was pleas
ing. The play was cleared up in one
hour and nineteen minutes.
Little Marcan has improved his work
since the team went away. The little
fellow has cut out his slow high throw
across the diamond, and now whips
them over to Kelley with a speed that
settles even the fast ones.
Spike Shannon had a busy time in
center. AT the art-off about every
Blue batter appeared anxious to drive
one Shannon's way. Spike collected
seven put-outs during the afternoon.
Grady is playing first for the Blues,
although Mr.. Hickey's press agent has
not announced any new particulars
about that 5000 fine. From a distance,
1t looked much like G. Tebeau wanting
to win the pennant for Louisville,
Hickey to the rescue with the right
umpire ana then an attempt to bluff
the whole of this through Grady is
a good player, and a strength to the
Blues, but Buell. and Gear would win
praise for taking their team out of the
association before submitting to this.
For the first time in many moons
the Saints appeared as an entire team.
billiard and Lumley were back in the
field with Shannon, and Dick Cogan
was on the bench in uniform and ready
for work.
Hurley was the only player hurt
while on the trip. Jerry had a finger
split While working in the exhibition
game that the Saints played at Ander-
son, Ind.
Slette has been sent home for the
rest of the season and Daugherty, who

LORD DERBY'S THERE
TROTTER'S APPEARANCE ONTHE
READVILLE TRACK &C.
CASlONS SURPRISE
BUT THE MONK BEATS AS
WELL AS oUTSHiNES HIM
Takes Two Straight Heats in the 2:o7
Trot and Establishes a Record, for
Himself, 2:o534-Lord Derby Drops
Back at First, but Makes Up Later.

READVILLE, Mass, Aug. 22.-The
one great surprise at the ReadviIIe
track on todayS grand circuit card
was the appearance of Lord Derby in
the 2:07 trot. The surprise was not
carried out to the extent of his win
ming the race, for Ed Geers drove the
Monk under the wire ahead of him in
two straight heats and won, in the
first heat establishing a new record
for himself of 2:05%, and a new race
record for the track.
Although $4,000 was offered in this
tror, only four horses were entered.
Ed Geers sent the Monk away first,
with the bunch behind Down to the
quarter they went, with Lord Derby
dropping back at every stride until he
was last. The half passed and Lord
Derby began to show speed. At the
three quarters he tried to overhaul the
Monk, but it was too late, and Geers
flashed under the wire behind a record
breaker.
Follows Like a Shadow.
In the second heat Lord Derby made
no mistake in laying back too far at
the start, for he followed The Monk
like a shadow to the three-quarters
Then began a drive by both Geers and
Spear, but to no avail, as they went
under the wire with the Monk safely
in the lead.
The 2:16 trot had twelve starters,
and five heats were needed to find a
winner. The first heat went to the
Kentucky horse, Reelected, to the
New Jersey mare. Alice Carr won the
second and Thomas w. Lawson's
Mary P. Leyburn the third The 9TH
ers were then sent to the stable, and
Alice Carr won the next two heats
and the race.
The 2:19 pace was won by the Gosh
en-, Ind, gelding Junius, sired by On
line, in three straight heats.
The 2:12 pace also was done in
splendid time, the game little Port
Henry gelding Carl Wilkes, owned and
driven by A. Mcdonald, winning two
straight heats in the fast time of
2:06h and 2:06A.
Tomorrow's card includes six events
one of which will be the trial by Dan
Patch against the worlds pacing rec

Napoleon had his Moscow and his Wa

Carson City, but none of these in the
hours of his most poignant grief ever
looked SO sad-morning, noon and night,

through untold years of business and po-

how has changed the face which typifed
American good nature to one which re-
sembles nothing so much as a head pail
bearer at a funeral.
AS to what has caused the beaming
frontispiece Of New York's junior senator
to take on the trappings Of mourning one
mans guess is as good as another's. Mr..
Depcw IS saying nothing and Mrs. Depew
is following suit. And in the last half
of this sentence there may be hint Mr.

Mr.. Depew, benedict is melancholy

that in a battle Of talk the woman has
triumphed? Can it be that in crossing

send him in defeat from mis- own hearth
stone? At any rate, whatever has hap

RECRUITING OYER HERE.

T h sincerely hopes it may be
conclusiyely proven that England has not
virtually maintained a recruiting station
at ChaImette, near New Orleans At the
very best the attitude of this country,
under the direction of Republican poll
ticians, has been biased in favor of the
kingdom of England and against the re-
publics of South Africa
Charges have been specifically made by
representatives of the Beers that the
United States government was violating
the law of neutrality by permitting Eng
lish agents to buy mules and horses for
the British army in South Africa and ship
them direct from port Of the United
States to their destination This matter
was disputed, the contention being that
mules and horses are not munitions of
war
Now the report is received that thou
sands of muleteers have been shipped from
Chalmette to South Africa and either
coaXed or coerced into the British army
With each shipload of animals several
times the necessary number Of men would
be sent, ostensibly for the purpose Of
caring for the animals Once in South
Africa, the return transportation prom
Used these men would not be produced,
and they would be coerced into the army
service
1t is alleged that the governor of
Louisiana has investigated these reports
and found much to support the truthful
ness of the claims. AT last the Repub-
lican leaders at Washington have been
driven into action and promise a thorough
investigation.
The claim is made by the Boer friends
that the English have one general, two
colonies and sixty captains in this ccun-
try, all actively engaged in securing ami
mails and men for the English service in
South Africa, and that they have what
