THE HORSES At PLAY.

It had been a hot, trying day for the field
horses, and after such it was papa's custom to
drive them to the river for refreshing plunge;
so after they were embarrassed my cousin led
a pair of grays, one of the men a brown team
and papa led old Kate and Queen to the woods
was playing q must have been. about six), at
the little ravine bridge when they came up.
Papa knew was always wild for a horseback
ride and let no chance go by to crafty me; so
now was lightly swung upon Queens back. 1t
was such joy when one was so small to be up SO
high on a big horse and be able to touch the
lowest twigs of the trees we passed. The ride
was an exquisite delight, and watching the
horses battle was scarcely less enjoyable.

PILES
Cured Quickly and without Pain.

Cured Quickly and Without Pain.
There are pile remedies without
number. but there is only one cure.
and that is the Pyramid Pile Cure,
which is in the form of a suppository
and is applied directly to the seat of
the trouble.
ANY physician will tell you that for
the proper treatment of Piles nothing
can compare with suppository
whereas the greater number of prepa-
rations that are offered to you for the
treatment Of this disease. are lotions.
salves and ointments. Why? Because
they are not so expensive as suppos-
itory, which is bound to contain more
costly ingredients and which requires
special machinery to make it; more
over a suppository inserted up the
rectum comes in direct contact with
the cause of the complaint, and no
other form of treatment does so.

PASSING OF JOE CANS.

Has Been Glass.

Has Been Class.
"Regarding Joe Cans recent defeat
by Sam Langford. Bob Edgren re-
marks:
Cans may be going the downward
track like all good fighters in the
course Of time. He may have been
simply out of condition. There is rea-
son to suspect that the latter was the
case, for Cans had just gone through
a hard fight with Dave Holly in Phil
adelphia and could hardly have recov-
cred the nervous energy expended
there.
But Cans. a month ago was out
pointed and outfOught by another black
fighter in Quaker Town, a darkey
named Blackburn. In that fight, just
as in the more recent affair. the cham
pion seemed TO have lost the Quickness
that once characterized his boxing aud

er a knockout with either hand.
'In this Boston fight Langford show

as well as superior aggresslVeness.
Cans, hit him time and again on the
chin with that right hand that has
been the terror of all the fighters in the
smaller class. but the Boston boy only
bored in and did his hitting at close
quarters.
"Langford seemed to have good left
hand. for he outjabbed Cans all
through the fight. and Cans left is
only a whit less famous than his right.
With the right the new championship
possibility did a considerable amount
of damage, blocking the champions
left leads and whipping the right acros
to the peint of the chin, a difficult
trick to perform outside of the gym

FATE OF BASEBALL LEAGUE
DEPENDS ON THIS.
BOLTON STREET PARK TO BE CUT

Amount Paid BY New York md
Philadelphia Baseball Teams
would BE Sufficient to Pay for
Grading the Grounds and Putting
Them in Proper Shape-COuld Be
Used for All Purposes, and Would
in No Wise Interfere With Rae
ing.
At the next meeting Of the Savannah
Racing Association a proposition will
be made that may settle forever the
difficulties attending the securing Of
an athletic field for Savannah.
The need for such a field has long
been felt in Savannah. There is a
prospect now that there will be pro-
fessional ball here next summer, and
the only serious drawback that now
faces the promoters of this enterprise
is the securing of grounds that can
be secured without too much cost
The street railway company has been
approached a number Of times relative
to the matter, but so far has taken
little interest in it. Now a propo-
sition will be made to the racing as
ISOLATION.
With the expenditure of few hun
dred dollars one of the best athletic
fields, suitable for football, baseball
and any other games to be played out
of doors, can be prepared directly in
front of the grand stand at the race
track. 1t would only be necessary to
remove the judges stand, which has
long since been deserted, and use a
part of the track as part OF the
field. This would in no wise interfere
with racing, as there will never be
any racing while baseball is being
played at the grounds, and q. tenn
porary fence can be easily put up
when there is to be racing.
The football field could be played
off so as to run up and down parallel
with the grand stand, the seating ca
pacity of which is several thousand
persons.
All of the ground has been gone over
carefully by those interested in the
securing of a professional baseball
team for Savannah next summer, and
also a large stakeholder in the racing
association, who heartily favors the
idea.
Mr.. Charles F. Graham, of the Pu-
laslki House, who also owns consider
able stock in the racing association,
is an enthusiastic believer in the wis.,
dom Of such an undertaking, and says
he is willing to put in his share of
what extra money would be needed
for putting a field in shape, as he be-
lieves the fair association would re-
alize handsomely by 1t.
The matter will also be suggested
TO the Savannah Athletic Association.
which is anxious to see a permanent
athletic field established in Savannah.
II Is understood that the Bolton Street

SAVANNAH SQUAD HAD

Captain Cope Put the Men Through
Some Fast Work Last Night.

Captain Cope Put the Men Through
Some Fast Work Last Night.
For two hours last night Capt. Cope
worked the football squad, only halt
ing every ten minutes for three minutes
rest. The men stood the work remark
ably well and short wind will not be
one of the absent requisites for a win
ming team when they line up against
Charleston.
Starting at Futch it is interesting to
note just how the team has worked up
to its present excellence. Practically
and theoretically the game has been
played until now any more drilling as
far as practicing the men is supurfiu
Gus, the only reason for work now be-
ing to keep the men in wind. F'utch
is ready for the game of his life. A lit
tie lacking in aggressiveness at the
early part of the season, he has worn
off the freshness of the game, and is
now one Of the hardest fighters that
will go up against the Charleston line.
Black and Hicks, at guard, are al
most changed men. In the early part
of the season Savannahs line was like
q stone wall Now it is like an ava
lanche. Where Hicks and Black put
their shoulders together and held the
entire opposing line they now get to-
gether and go through like an express
train. The aggressiVeness that has
been suggested has been taken up with
will and Savannah's play is as vicious
as one would care to see.
At the ends Landsberg and Smith
have bruised themselves nightly until
now they throw themselves into the
melee as If possessed of supreme indif-
ference as to their lives.
The 1ve mentioned above make a
line that in itself would make a hard
game for the Charlestonians. Add "a
