Fast Session at vinton street Park
Goes to Visitors Because They
Could Bet 1T Right
Time.

By cleveriy punching their hits at propsr
times the Saints from Missouri yesterday
took the FIRST game OF the series with
Omaha. Little excitement and none of the
spectacular which Characterised the great
game OF Monday marked the contest. st.
Joseph took a lead in the third inning and
maintained it without danger to the end
The locals were in the game from FIRST to
last on their fielding, but they could do
little at the bat. The 1--WE hits made by
the home team we're divided between Do
Ian, Stone and Thomas, both OF the lati or
getting two apiece, one Of Stones being a
two-bagger and one OF Thomas being q
triJ lie.
lac seventh inning was the inning OF the
game. In this e~ventful period the visitors
made two Of their SIX iuns and the locals
landed one OF theirs, but the inning was
especially notable for the s~lugginE done.
Hall for the visitors nailed the ball for a
home run, sending It clear against the CEN
ter field fence under one Of the large sign
boards which Is erected out a few feet
from the fence. Maher followed him
with a triple to center and M~cFadden, anx-
ious to win his own game, lined out a two
Dagger. scoring Maher.
For Omaha Thomas planted the sphere
In right field for a clean three-base hit
and scored on Robes mum Of walsh's
throw.
Thu home team made a desperate effort
TO put the 10 JOS on the tobogsan In tho
hnal inning. but the track must not have
been rough, for somehow the Missourians
refused to slide. Stone was hrst man to
bat in the ninth and he lifted the bali out
into his own territory for two bases. DO
Ian with reflections OF the day preceding
still before him, lined out a nice single
and Stone scored. This aroused great en-
thusiasm and some fans were nervy
enough to insist that the home team win
the game here and then. even though II
did require five runs to do It. But Stew
art sent one to short. forcing Dolan ut
second. Pears forced Stewart at the same
bag with n punch to third and Gonding re-
tired the side and ended the game by fan
ming out. Attendance 5000. Score:

Many Bets Are Being Made on Zig
Fellow at Ratio OF
Two to One.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 22.-Jeffries fin
ished his hard training today. He boxed
eight fast rounds before a large gathering
Of business men at Oakland. During the
bout Jim nearly knocked Kennedy out,
and the latter retaliated by landing a
heavy right on JeffriS' nose, drawing
blood. Jeffries instructed his trainers TO
give him a battle, and they did so to the
best Of their ability. Eddie Graney. the
referee of the big contest. was in the ring
and gave a practical demonstration OF how
he would act toward the contestants. He
refrained from going between the fighters,
but ordered them to break. and they did
so.
Jeffries. will do light work for the next
few days. He will TAX no chances OF in
juring his hands and will therefore refrain
from boxing.
FitEsimmons took a short jaunt through
the park this morning and boxed at the
Olympic club in the afternoon. He spared
with two clever amateurs. and wound up
by going three fast rounds with Hank
Griffin. Fitzslmmons will confne his work
for the next three days TO light gymnastic
work. Both men are ready TO enter the
ring.
The betting now stands 2 to /, with
Jeffrles on the long end. Betting Is lively.
There is plenty of FItZsimmons money and
Jeffries' supporters are taking up all the
wagers in sight. The arena is ready for
occupancy. Visitors are coming from all
parts OF the United States. Up 10 the
present time SIS. 900 has been taken I'm for
tickets. Interest in the coming battle Is on
the increase and there is every likelihood
that there will be a $4,000 house.

CLEVELAND. July 2.-The grand circuit
races here opened a-day late, because Of
the downpOur on Monday. The 800 stake

played. won the fourth heat, but dropped
the next two heats. At the calling Of the
seventh heat the WedEewood horse was
again favorite, but Oar r. had more in
reserve and won the last two heats rather
easily.
Pronounced favorites won each of the
other three races in heats. Geers' Dandy
Chimes, favorite In the 2:19 pace, caused
a mild sensation. in the second heat BIZ

falling back FIVE lengths behind the lead
ers. Then Geers pulled him down and was
ahead again before the turn home was
reached.
The track was spongy and at least two
seconds slow. Eight thousand spectators
were on hand. a larger crowd thar has

Insists on Concerted Actisn,
NEW WAGE SCALE TO Be ASKED FOR
Union Pacihc Blacksmiths May De-
mand Increase of Ten Per Cent
in Their Daily Earn
inga.

John slocum Of Moline. ILL.,. general
president and organizer OF the International
Brotherhood Of Blacksmiths, reached Oman
last night and will be here for several days
in connection with the strike on the Union
Pacific. Mr.. Slocum, who was In the city
last Friday and Saturday, has Just returned
from Cheyenne and North Platte, where he
consulted the blacksmiths and addressed
them upon the issues Of the present labor
difficulty. He says none Of the blacksmiths
are out at either OF these two places and
as they have not yet been asked to accept
piecework there is no reason to think they
Will 90 out. Mr.. Slocum will seek a meet
ing with President Burt while here.
1T feel much encouraged over the situa-
tion after my trip west" said President
Slooum. 81 don't think the company Is
going to ask our men in the other towns
outside OF Omaha and Armstrong, where
they are /on a strike, to accept piecework,
and in tits event the men, / feel sure, Will
remain at work. 1t will be better for our
cause II they do not strike, for 1t will keep
that much more OF a financial burden on
the central organization. and in times like
these, when so many unien labor men are
out on strikes over the country, the Hnan-
cial side of the question is to be vitality
considered. However, we are in good con-
dition and have every reason to look for a
successful termination Of our affairs with
the Union Pacific"
A well-defned rumor has gained circula-
ton to the effect that the blacksmiths will
present a demand to the Union Pacific for
a general increase in wages. In fact. the
plan, said to be under way now, contem-
plates a new wage scale entirely, which the
company will be asked to adopt. Since the
blacksmiths are out only in two places on
the system, omaha and Armstrong, it is
reported that they stand a good opportunity
of securing the adoption Of this proposed
scale.

Paducsh. Various people have various
opinions in such controversies and the
more they are agitated the less pros
pect of a settlement, but whatever the
opinions, there is no doubt that strikes
injure a community as whole, hence
everybody is glad when they are over
and the workmen, the bone and sinew
Of community, are back at work for
those dependent on them, and the
progress of our city is resumed. 1t
is hoped that the other local strikes,
which are small in comparison with
that of the carpenters, will also. be
amicably settled.

Another terrible disaster has occur
red near Paducah, in the destruction
of the City of Pittsburg thirty miles
below the city. Such calamities are
TO be greatly deplored, especially when
attended by such appalling loss Of life,
but they cannot be helped, and for
tunately do not occur very often. The
destruction of the Pittsburg shows that
such disasters are. mot necessarily due
toycarelessness or inferior boat con-
struction, as the Pittsburg was one of
the finest built and equipped boats on
the Ohio river, and was supplied with
