SPORTING NEWS.
The Old Ringer Story Has
Again Been Revived.
About Horse Which. Was Raced
as "The Fiddler"
LATEST GOSSIP GIVEN.
Some People Claim to Have
Solved the Mystery.
Joe Lesser, Il st. Louis Selling
Platter, Picked Out.

Chicago, Nov. 1s.-The mystery of
the killing on The Fiddler at Morris
park October 3. is in fair way to be
cleared up. according to Chicago book
makers. Several men in this city who
were hard hit on the head victory of
the alleged The Fiddler, have perse-
vered, and although the information
has not been made public it is claimed
that it was Joe Lesser who mulcted
the "bookies" out of the money. in
stead of the real The Fiddler. So far.
however. nothing has been proved.
Joe Lesser when last heard of was
at st. Louis. On September 9 he ran
in a mile and a sixteenth race and
finished fourth to Little Scout, Siddon
and Jordan. Since then, according to
those who are interested. Joe Lesser
has disappeared from sight. They
claim that ne came to life at Morris
park, when he Is alleged to have run
under the name of The Fiddler
H. D. Beams is registered as the
owner of Joe Lesser. Whether the
horse has been sold or transferred since
he raced at St. Louis is not known
here. The Fiddler is owned by T. T.
Cromwell. but the ownership was
rather hazy when the stewards made
an 1nvestig ga ton at Morris park.
Those who knew the original The Ffd-
dler claim that he is an exact counter
part of Joe Lesser. 1t would take an ex-
pert horseman to tell the two apart 1t
is claimed that when the two were at st.
Louis the raibirdS were helpless in tell
ing the two apart in their morning gal
lops.
The Fiddler is a bay gelding by Falsetto
-Cachua by King Alfonso, while Joe Les
ser is also bay gelding, but by Whitney
-Hermie. Both are five years old and the
two are about the same in size and con-
formation
Unless the sleuths for the Chicago book
makers have been on the wrong scent it
looks as if the celebrated case might be
untangled before long. Joe Lesser has
at Delmar and according to reports re
ceived by Jim O'Leary and other zig
boz kmakers, he can not be found any
where, in either the east west. Dill
gent search has been made for him but
there has been nothing doing in the way
of discovery.
Although Joe Lesser is a fair selling
platter, horsemen regard it queer that
no better horse than John Lesser should
be substituted for The Fiddler if the claim
of the ringer holds good. Lesser won the
long shot in the field when he met Little
Scout and was defeated four lengths by
Benefits horse over the mile and SIX
teenth route. 1t is true he ran for mile
The Fiddler's race at Morris Park was
over the WitherS mile and the time II
was at about the same clip as Joe Lesser
ran in his last race at St. Louis. 1t was
of course in The Fiddler's favor that he
carried only sc pounds while Joe Lesser
carried five pounds more at st. Louis.

A PIONEER GATHERING.
Friends of Rev. Mr. Loofbourrow Give
Him Farewell Surprise.

Atwood, Kas., Nov. 1S-Rev W. K.
Loofbourrow, of the Methodist church,
who came here in 1885, since then has
lived in Kirwin and Phillipsburg, and
for tive sessions was chaplain of the
state senate. has been called to Free
port, Ill, to take charge of a church
thara.
Before his departure number of his
friends met at the pleasant home of
Ed l. Walker and surprised him. It
was a gathering of a number of his
pioneer friends who came to Rawlins
county and Atwood In 1879, among
them being NJ. A. Wilson, the first
lawyer in the county and the pioneer
alfalfa raiser in northwest Kansas,
Albert Hemming, Sim Finn, Jonas
Nichols. and S. h Tindell, all of them
bringing their wives along.
The evening was pleasantly passed,
and many thrilling and exciting rem
iniscences of their pioneer life in At
wood were gone over. There is moth
ing more entertaining than to hear
these old pioneers tell the story of At
wood and Rawlins county. And the
women came in for a eoodly share of
the credit They, too, helped share the
hardships. and they entertained the
house of company and told many ex-
citing experiences the husbands had
forgotten. The surprise was enjoyed
by all, who wish Mr.. LoofbourroW and
family the best Of health and pros

NEW LUTHERAN CHURCH.
Minneapolis Pastor Paints and
Repairs the Building.

Minneapolis, Kas., Nov. 13.-St.
PauPs Evangelical Lutheran church at
this place has secured another pastor,
after a vacancy of nearly two years,
during which time the church has suf-
fered much.
The new pastor. w. F. Poot, came
here from Grand Rapids, Mich, and
although perhaps somewhat disap-
pointed was by no means discoura ged.
Realizing how essential a pleasant
place of worship is to a good congre-
CATION, he took upon himself the deco
ration ana remodeling of the church,
Electric lights were put in, furnace
installed in place of the old stove,
benches refinished. floor painted and a
new CARPET secured.
The pastor not only raised nearly all
of the necessary money but did most
of the work. such as painting, putting
in lights, refinishing the woodwork,
and laying the carpets. The church,
though not the largest, is now one of
the prettiest, and prospects for build
ing up the church are very hopeful.

Plays Mighty Football, Aided by One
Man.

New York. Nov 1S.-Princeton demon
strated to Yale on Saturday the posi-
bility of a "one-man' eleven defeating
a team probably its superior. Accord
ing to all reports of the struggle that
gave the Tigers the championship of
the country, Yale's offense was stronger
than that of the Orange and Black team
and the defense was able to hold them
also, but the New Haven eleven counted
without it's host when it passed over one

Tiger eleven and playing right guard.
Through his Individual ability, stamping
him probably the greatest individual

GREAT YEAR ON THE TURF.
Most Successful Season in Years
Brought to q Close.

New York, Nov. 1S.-With the close of
the Jamaica and Latonia meetings the
racing season of 1908 ended around New
York and in the west 1t will go down
in history as the greatest year the
American turf has ever seen. The
stakes and purses have all been larger
Than in former years and the poorer
class of horse owners have been able
to prosper as never before, all of which
will tend to greatly elevate the sport.
The horses have been of better class
and record breaking was almost daily
occurrence. Track records were broken
and rebroken and even some of the
worlds records were reduced more than
once during the year. New riders were
developed and keep up the pace with
the advancement of other branches OF
the sport, and the greatly reduced rid
ing contingent of the country, caused
by the exodus of so many stars to for
eign lands, has almost recovered its
strength of former years. John B.
Haggin headed the winning owners
with almost 100000 to his credit, the
bulk of which was won by his great
4-year-old Waterboy. Fred Cook, the
ST. Louis bookmaker. headed the west
ern list with about half the amount
won by Haggin.

FIXING UP rHE POLO GROUNDS
outfeld to Be Raised to the Level of
the Diamond.

New York. Nov. 1S,-Visiting outf1eld-
ers have always complained of the
swamp-like condition of the deep field
at the Polo grounds. Work is now in
progress and a fill will be made levellng
the outfield with the diamond. The out
field is marshy, and after hard rain
the players heretofore were obliged to
wade around in puddles of water some
inches deep. Under these circumstances
good fielding was almost impossible, and
frequently the men suffered from rneu-
matism and pains in the legs superin-
duced by wet feet.
Last season was particularly trying
on the players. many games being de-
cided while the outfield was soaked. 1t
is thought this trouble will be done
away with by raising the level of the
field and installing a drainage system.
Thousands of loads Of dirt will be re-
quired for the filing in. While this
work is going on many improvements
will be made in the grand stand and
bleacheries. The plan to give New
Workers a grand concrete palace. eclip-
sing the Cincinnati stands. will not be
carried out at once.

that which is seldom done, when it

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless it is Digested

Nearly everyone will admit that as
a nation we eat too much meat and
too little of vegetables and the grains.
For business men, office men and
clerks. and in fact everyone engaged
in sedentary OF indoor OCCUPATIONS,
grains. milk and vegetables are much
more healthful.
Only men engaged in a severe out
door manual labor can live on heavy
meat diet and continue in health.
AS a general rule. meat once a day
is sufficient for all classes of men, wo-
men and children, and grains, fruit
and vegetables should constitute the
bulk of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion, and it
is of no use to advise brain workers
to eat largely of grains and vegetables
where the digestion is too weak to
assimilate them properly.
1t is always best to get the best
results from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
after meals to assist the relaxed diges-
tive organs. and several years expert
ence have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets to be a very safe. pleasant and
effective digestive and remedy
which may be taken daily with the
best results
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hard
ly be called patent medicine. as they
do not act on the bowels nor any par
ticular organ, but only on the food
eaten. They supply what weak stom-
achs lack, pepsin, diastase, and by
stimulating the gastric glands increase
the natural secretion of hydrochloris
acid.
People who make a daily practice Of
taking one or two OF Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets after each meal are sure
to have perfect digestion, which means
perfect health
There is no danger of forming an in
| furious habit. as the tablets contain
absolutely nothing but natural diges-
| tives; cocaine, morphine and similar
drugs have no place in a stomach
medicine, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
| lets are certainly the best known and
most popular of all stomach remedies.
Ask YOUR druggist for 50-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and after a weeks use note the i'm
provement in health. appetite and
nervous energy.

NEwToN's GREAT PITCHING.
Establishes New Baseball Record in
Game at Los Angeles.

San Francisco. Nov. 1S.-Dr. Newton,
the big left handed pitcher of the Los An
geles team; pitched a phenomenal game
He shut them out without nit or run,
gave no bases on balls. hit no one with
pitched ball and struck out five. 1t was
probably the most remarkable pitching
feat ever seen on the coast, and certainly
was the limit for the season. The Oakland
batters were given life on first base
through errors by Wheeler and Smith, but
they failed to reach second. Not single
Oakland player was left on bases. Nc
kay's brand of pitching would have won
most games, as he scattered the eight hits
made by the locals along six innings. Los
Angeles scored the only runs made in the
fifth hits by Ross and Raymond and
Moskimans error. Raymond batting
and fielding were features of the game.
Eager was hit by a foul tip and suffered
q badly split finger.
1t is said by the best baseball authority
that Newton's feat has never been equaled
and that it establishes new record IN
the baseball world. There have been other
no-hit games pitched, but Sundays was
the first on record where there were no
bases on balls and no one left on bases
The game that comes the nearest to New
toms feat was pitched by RUDE Waddell,
also a left-hander, and formerly mem
Der of the Los Angeles team. Waddell,
however, gave two bases on balls, and
consequently two men were left on bases.
