HAMBURG BELLE WINS
THE CRITERION STAKES
Paget's Filly Performs in Impressive
Manner.

Hamburg Belle is a true daughter OF
mighty Hamburg, the stallion thas W

day, she showed. the same speed that
made her sire famous, land beat her field
in romp, covering the five furlongs in
1:o2 2-5. one of the fastest races of the
meeting.
The Criterion was a contest of FLIES
owned by millionaires. Sydney Paget,
racing partner of J. B. Haggin, was rep
resented by Hamburg Belle; Mimosa ear
ried W. c. Whitney's colors; Dimple
carried those of E. r. Thomas; Fine
Art rap for August Belmont. Mapoota

an amazing burst of speed from barrier

Jim Kelly proved his claim as a colt
tof high quality by easily winning his
second race in successive days. He had
a ten-pound pull in the weights, by the
scale. over Julia NJ, and eight pounds
from Agnes Brennan. Neither of the
fllies was able to give him this handi-
cap and beat him home although they
lad the speed of him to the head of the
stretch. Patsy McCue, who rode the
winner, showed all his old time skill.

The races were well contested, the
finishes in the majority of the events
being close and exciting. with few
inches separating the winners from the
second horses. All the winners were
well played and the bookmakers lost

CARTER AND O'BRIEN
AGREE ON WEIGHTS

PHILADELPHIA, June g. - Jack
O'Brien and Kid Carter yesterday sign
ed articles to meet in a six-round bout
in Industrial Hall on June II. The men
met yesterday afternoon. and had con-
siderable difficulty in deciding upon the
weight question. O'Brien's representa-
tive, fearing repetition of the Marvin
Hart affair, exhibited wholesome re-
spect for Carriers pugiIistic ability.
He held out for $50 pounds at the ring
side, but afterward agreed to 165 pounds,
the men to weigh in at $50 on the night
of the contest. Both men will start &C
tive training at once. Carter at present
weighs about 17S pounds. This will ne
cessitate him taking off eight pounds
within the next twelve days. which he
says he will be able to do without any
trouble.

EVANSVILLE NOTES.

EVANSVILLE, Md, June 6.-The
Democrats in this Fart of the county are
beginning to talk little. The sugges-
ticn that the central committee call an
early primary meets with favor.
If good county ticket is put into the
field early enough for the nominees to
make thorough canvass and to relieve
what friction may arise in the nominal
ton convention, it is thought that the
chances for success viii be excellent.
Some Democrats appear to think that
if the McComas element carries the
county and dominates a legislative ticket
Democratic chances would be much en-
HANGED, but conservative review of
the situation leads TO the opinion that
the Mudd faction would do no more
knitting than the McComas An impartial
and careful estimate is that the McCo-
mas adherents have very little chance Of
carrying the county.
A very pleasant social was given at
the Baptist Church last night. The Rev
j. W. Rawles gave some interesting
"reminiscences of his early pastoral work.
There were songs by Dr. Ladson and
Mrs. K W. Conklin and Mrs. F. NJ Reed
and character sketches by William Hall
and w. A Lyon.

FARMERS AND FACTORIES.

Farmers in those districts that have
extensive manufacturing establishments
are able TO pay double as much for land
as those who live in the strictly agri-
cultural districts and then realize dou-
bic the profit from the crops grown. The
farmers Of New England, occupying a
soil originally thin. in an uncongeniaI
climate, are able TO pay higher wages
than the farmers of the South. although
the natural fertility of the soil and its
capacity for producing great variety CT
crops is not half as great as ii is in the
South. and the staples grown in the
South are of worldwide demand and of
paramount ecessity.-Southern Farm

Please Keep Him There.

The local fans are wondering Just
what Ban Johnson means by having the
same umpire oficiate such a long string
of games as that overseen by Connolly
in Cleveland recently. 1t SO happened
that Cleveland failed TO get the benefit
of a single close decision during the
several weeks In which Connolly was UNI
piring and many of the enthusiasts be-
came Disguised with his work In fact,
there was bunch OF a dozen business
men who never miss game that re-
NAMED away from the last six contests
just because Connolly was umpiring.
One of these gentlemen said yesterday.
Although ii is almost a case of spiting
ourselves, we agreed last week that we
would not go to another game until
there had been shift in umpires We
do not question Connolly's honesty, but
we do know that he was not doing good
work" These business men were not
the only ones who thought that Connolly
was here too long. Connolly was OF the
same opinion himself and SO remarked

For the second time this week, yes
terday afternoon Townsend was in the
box for the Senators. Both games We're
lost, yet in neither case can fault be
found with Jack. Both games We're of
the championship variety and would in
ninety times out of hundred land
his club a winner. On Monday afternoon
he was pitched against the Athletics
with Rube Wadden as the opposing
twirler. That game will go down in
history as one of the grandest pitchers
battles ever fought out on a local dia-
mond. Waddell won out simply be-
cause his team backed him UP in fault
less style and took in chances that look
ed good for singles and even doubles in
some instances. On the other hand, one
or two hits accredited the Athletics
should have been easy outs.
AT the bat the Senators were power
less, and in fact made little effort to
win out, their lethargic and resigned
to-their-fate style of play being appar-
ent to all. Yesterday Townsend pitched
another rafting game; his team mates
woke UP and hit in a run in the first
and there the score should have remain

Carey's muff came and Jack took g trip
skyward until three runs had scampered

The st. Louis is a pretty ''hefty" lot.
Anderson plays a rafting game at

Jesse Burkett is developing into a

Robinson's triple was a screamer. yet

Burkett and Heidrick figured in a mix

Bill Clarke's throwing arm is in much
better shape than his batting eye.
McAleer, temporarily out of the

Heidrick was in the act of stealing
home when Wallace tipped a foul; he
would have made it otherwise.

Any ball player who fails to obey or

MES that he has done so. This. Of

the player and Barrow or Smith, which
ever may make the charge. Neither does
the question of whether or not EIber-
field has failed TO work tremendously
with the second baseman enter into the
argument. The punishment meted out is
a severe one, even If all things charged
be admitted. That the club thinks its
case a good one is shown by the inclu-
sion of suspension, which Injuries club
as much as player. It is to be hoped
that the matter Will be Strengthened

will curb any tendencies TO work cal
