The Championship Race Will
Be a Close One.
Pittsburg and Boston Look Like
Leaders Now.
IT'S SEVERALDAYS OFF
New York, Chicago and CIeve
land Are Coming.
Bcston's Great Pitching Staff
Is Helping Out.

Boston, Aug. 1s.-As the clubs of the
major league enter the last quarter it
looks very much like Pittsburg and
Boston for the honors this season. Still
other clubs are in the race and you
never can quite tell what may happen.
The Burgers are in more danger of los
ing first place than Collins men as their
pitchers are a weak lot while the Bos-
ton Americans have the finest string of
pitchers ever got together on one team.
Lever is the only top-notcher with
Pittsburg, while Boston has Cy Young,
Dineen and Hughes, with Gibson and
Winter, and right here is where the
winners of the league championship will
have trouble in matching the pitching
staff of Boston, and everything is in the
pitching these days where the teams are
anything like evenly matched.
New York and Chicago put them
selves in the race once more. and either
one of these clubs may yet make trou-
BILE for the present champions who are
depending on their all around work out
side the box for victories. This must be
big strain. and will tell more later on.
and especially if they are called on to
meet the well fortified Boston Ameri-
cans.
A series of games between these clubs
played at Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg would be a big mon
ey winner and help the game. for the
contests would bring out some grand
good baseball.
In the American League, Boston has
now little to fear from the present
champions, while New York is too far
behind to reach the top this season even
with phenomenal luck. This, too. will
be more difficult. as Collins boys are
like Pittsburg, a superior road team
and have the temperament to stand the
gam when luck breaks badly Every
member of the team (16 players) has
taken the western trip, and those not
playing will be in uniform in all the
! games as Collins believes in making a
fight for every game until the thing is
over
The Boston American players are very
shy about talking about the champion
ship or meeting with Pittsburg Jim
mie Collins, one of the gamest players

of comparing his club with others His
idea IS to play ball and let the fans

A Fort Scott Family Show EvI
dence of Affection.
Ten Children Unite in Giving
Sister an Estate.
FARM WILLED TO ALL.
She Had Always Stayed at
Home and Worked.
Cared for the Aged Father and
Is Now Repaid.

Fort Scott, Aug. 1S.-The Tribune says:
Perhaps the most remarkable in
stance of the liberality in the distribu-
ton of a large estate among many heirs
that the records of the probate court Of
this county will disclose, is embraced
in some entries that Probate Judge Hud-
son made in his books. 1t is in the dis
tribution of the estate of the late j.
Fundenburger. the pioneer Democrat of
Narmaton township.
Mr.. Fundenburger willed one half Of
his entire estate, consisting of 240 acres
OF fine land and 81, 600 worth of personal
property, to his daughter, Margaret f.
Fundenburger, and some eighteen heirs,
among whom the deceased intended the
other half should be divided, joined in
an instrument conveying their entire in
terest in the estate to the same daugh-
ter This gives Miss Fundenburger the
entire estate of her father.
1t may have happened that one, two or
perhaps three heirs have done this in
the past. but in the Fundenburger fam
lily there were ten children, all living but
one daughter, who died and left eight
children. These children. of course,
were entitled to their mothers share of
the estate. Each of the seventeen heirs
might with good grace have gone in and
Claimed MS OF neI portion OF the estate
but the last one of them waived all in
terest, right or title to any of the estate
in behalf of the one.
Miss Fundenburger, who is thus so
distinctly honored by her family is one
of the eldest children of the family.
She has always lived at home. Their
mother died when the youngest was yet
a baby and she became the mother of
the household raising them all, and
when they had married and made homes
of their own, she remained with the
aged father. cared tenderly for him
through long years of hard labor and
managed the farm successfully herself.
Hundreds of families in Fort Scott have
eaten Miss Fundenburger's butter, the
eggs laid by her hens, and the vege-
tables raised in her gardens in the past
number of years. She marketed herself
after raising them. II is a rare case of
where a sense of right and a regard for
faithfulness above pecuniary interests
and thrusts unexpected reward upon
merit.
The Fundenburger estate must be
worth some $50 of $4,000.

F1Tz AND JEFF MAKE MONEY.
They Resort to Shrewd Tricks in Bet
! ting-CIeaned Up 100000.

San Francisco, Aug. 1S.-Sixty thous-
and dollars is said to be the sum that
Jim Jeffries and Bob Fitzsimmons made
in bets out of Friday nights big fight.
The champion, therefore, is nearly
100000 winner because of his fstic
prowess The stories of lack Of con-
dition on the part of Jeffries were only
given out to influence the betting. jeff
ries was reported to be fat in order to
cut down the odds, a result that actually
occurred.
The abandonment of Jeffries by Fitz-
simmons was another clever ruse on the
part of willy Bob. He had taught Jim
about everything he knew in the box
ing game including the celebrated solar
plexus blow and having accomplished
this task he took a rest. Then came the
story that Jeffries and Fitz had parted.
It is reported that between them Jeff
ries and Fitz cleaned up about $4,000
in the betting.
