The billposters Of the United States are

is made up of the mechanical billpost-

over the country and are not content to
remain long in any town They follow
circuses and shows of all sorts and under
take all kinds of difficult jobs. They are
the rovers of the trade.

Clubs Standing.
National League Clubs Standing.

Had the weather man been a little more
kindly disposed toward the New York club.
the players would have celebrated their
return to the home grounds with double
victory over Washington Saturday after
noon AS it was they get credit for only
one win. When they were sailing along
in the lead in the second game the rain,
which had been threatening all afternoon.
came down in punches at the end of the
second inning. and all hope that the game
could be resumed was diSpelled. And the
storm caused more excitement than the ball
game, for 1t seemed for time bent on
dropping one of its bolts on the grandStand.
They fell all around it. and several trees
bear the marks of the lghtnings effects
1t is putting 1t mildly to say that the spec
tators felt none too comfortable, and that
each thunder-clap was the signal for
concert of screams from the fair rOOters.
But to return to the base ball end of the
afternoon. The home club put well-earn-
ed victory to their credit by some of the
prettiest consecutive hitting seen in New
York for long time. Dunkle, who was so
effective against the Highlanders on the
last trip here of the Senators. was put In
to fool the heavy hitteiS, but he failed of
his mission. He was hit hard at all times,
but perfect fielding kept the score within
reasonable limits AS 1t was, the New
Yorks piled up ten runs. All Of these ex-
cept one were made in two innings. The
fourth proved the most productive. and in
1t the Griffithites gathered in six tallies
on eight solid safe hits. Dunkle was hit
hard again in the seventh. when the game
was clinched by the team on the Heights
While the big Washington pitcher was
getting his bumps, Wolfe was holding the
Senators well in hand. He kept the few
hits obtained off him well apart. except
in the fifth. when three safe ones melted
the other side two of their runs Both
teams put up an elegant article of ball IN
the field, not an error of any kind being
chargeable to either side. The one star
play of the game fell to Hendricks. Da-
Wis sent a short fly between right and
center. 1t looked good for at least one
base. If not more. AS soon as the ball
was hit Hendricks started for 1t, and by
the fastest kind of footwork Just man
aged to get up in time to reach 1t as 1t
was falling to the ground. Elberf1eld and
Williams grabbed everything that came
their way. and Moran. for the Senator'S
played steadily and we'll.
The fourth inning. in which the New
York team gave such a fine exhibition of
hitting, was played follows: Davis led
off with single: Mcfarland followed with
a double, and Beville a single Wolfe
fouled out. but Conroy started off again
with another hit and Keeler hit for three
bases. Camel singled. and Elberfeld fol-
lowed with triple. Williams flied to Hen
bricks, and ended the flood of runs

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA.
Charming Child Of Gear Nay Rule tho
ns1u&3aa

The New York World prints the following
interesting story from st. Petersburg: "A
monarch in the making is the unvoiced
sentiment Of the Russian people toward the
little Grand Duchess Olga, the eldest
daughter of the car. who, at eight years,
Is one of the most important personages
in Europe
This tiny princess, who may play SO large
part in the destinies of nations, Is al
ready remarkable for characteristics large
ly at variance with Romanoff traditions.
In buoyancy Of spirit. in the exercise OF
an 1mperious will and in the display Of
an adaptability which wins all alike, she
shows more resemblance to the illustrious,
II Infamous. Catherine II, than to any on
her fathers predecessors.
The discussion of the possibility OF chang
ing the Romanoff law of succession which
began when Olga Nikolaevna was born,
has increased with her growth and the
coming Of sisters. who have made the
looked-for son seem a remote contingency.
At first the court scoffed at the sugges-
ton that the car would contemplate such

cried by st. Petersburg and Moscow. Be-
sides. Vladimir Alexandrovitch and Marie
Paulowna remained to be reckoned with,
and the thought Of their overthrow raised
smile of doubt on all sides. Vladimir and
his consort have reputation wider than
the confines of the Romanoff empire and
few care to undertake active hostiIities
where they are the opponents
But all that is changed. What others
failed to accomplish for her the blue
eyed daughter of a race of emperors has
won for herself. Her baby graces, her In
fictitious goodwill have made her the idol
OF people as extravagant in their devotion
as they are in their hatreds.
This charming little girl at the Moscow
fair last Easter. with her sisters about
her, clapping her hands and dancing with
sheer delight at the wooden dolls that
were given her. was a sight not soon to
be forgotten. The clear-cut features. the
big, expressive eyes, the alert intelligence,
and, above all, the irresistible merriment
of her nature, drew all glances to her.

Travis Regains Title by Beating Byers

For the third time Walter ]. Travis. repre-
senting the Garden City Golf Club. has won

United States. He won his third victory

gheny Country Club. Pfttsburg. Pa. was
the runner up. Byers was also the runner
up last year. being beaten by Louis N.
James of Chicago, who was defeated in the
first round Of the present tournament.
Byers beat Travis In last years champion
ship by one hole, but the veteran champion
of two preceding years had his revenge Sat-
urday. Travis played superior golf. and
while from the tees honors were about even,
Travis was far ahead of his young opponent
in approaching and putting. He approached
with machlne-hke accuracy. and the sure
ness of his putting at from three to ten
feet was a feature.
In the morning round as told in Satur-
days Star. Travis finished up on Byers. do
ing the course in 70, new amateur record.
The final half of the round started In the
afternoon with Travis up. The first two
holes were halved and long put gave
Travis the next. Byers took the fifth, 4O5

in reaching the green. Four holes were

MUNRooE ACCEPTS.
Will Fight Jefffies at Los Angeles
Next Month.

Jack Munroe the Butte (Mont.) miner.
seems in earnest In his desire to meet
Champion Jim Jeffriess for he has with
drawn from his position of demanding
more time and announced that he had tele-
graphed Jeffries an acceptance of his chal-
lenge to fight for the heavyweight cham
pionship OF the world at Los Angeles on
October 10. the date originally set. 81.
This action on the part OF Munroe fol-
lowed the receipt Of tidings that Jeffries
would not agree to any delay whatever.
Jeffries Saturday sent the following dis
patch to the New York Evening Journal
from San Francisco: ITO
Unless Munroe fights me on the date 1
signed for, October 10, he won't get a
match with me. I positively cannot post
pone my road engagements for his sake.
For long time he has been crying for a
chance to meet me. He gets 1t and then
tries to avoid the issue by asking for more
time to train. He should make good by ac-
cepting the offer of the Los Angeles club to
Tight October 10 or say no more about fight
ing me. JAMES J. JEFFR1ES."
This positive message was shown to Mum
roe and it did not take long for him to ac-
cept the conditions. He undoubtedly wants
the championship. OF course. he does not
want to enter the ring unless in shape to
do himself justice, but he Is willing to do
his best In the time allowed him.
When Munroe received Matchmaker Nc
Carthy's telegram giving the terms Of the
battle with Jeffries he was delighted. The
bout would give him the opportunity that
he had been awaiting ever since his memo
rable four-round battle with Jeffries at
Butte last winter. He said that the conli-
tions were satisfactory to him. but as he
has not done any boxing Of late he would
require more time to get into condition.
Munroe realizes that the champion Is now
In grand form. and IL he were to enter The
ring with him in anything but the best
physical condition he would have absolute
ly no chance of winning
In regard to the division of the money by
the principals. it will in all probability be
divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 to
the loser. These terms are acceptable to
Munroe.
According to reports from the west JET
fries says that unless he puts Munroe out
before the expiration Of the twenty rounds
he will forfeit the winners share of the
purse.
