 Thatcher states that Sanders and Pat terson walked on ahead while he and another man followed. As the pair In front reached Sixty-sixth street they clinehed and a struggle ensued. He ran up to see what was the matter and Pat terson staggered down the car track, saying:
 Thatcher you aint going to let that man kill me, are you?"

DAN PATCH WILL
 MAKE SECOND TRIAL
GREAT PAGER WILL GO AGAINST TIME TOMORROW AFTERNOON AT THE FAIR GRoUNDS-ALL DEPENDS ON THE WEATHER.

Dan Patch 1 :56 1-4, will be given the word to go tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, and the people of Birmingham will be able to witness the second att tempt to break the worlds record for a mile on a hal& mile track.
 The horse is in excellent condition and if the weather is at all favorable the record should be broken. When it is considered what narrow margin Dan needed Friday with every condition against him it will be easy to see what he will do tomorrow if things are favor- able. He should pace the mile in 2:02 or less. The record at present on a half mile track is 2:OS 1-2, and Dan Patch paced the mile Friday afternoon in 2:O4 IA under adverse conditions.
 Driver McHenry sent the famous pacer three easy miles yesterday, and he showed great speed. His condition is excellent and if the track is fast to- morrow the horse will almost certainly break a record.
 Indications point to a large crowd. ,,n Friday there were about 1000 people p.es- ent.
 Beside the trial of Dan Patch there will be free for all trot and a running race.

Well ran with all his might and seized
the ball; then dashed for the home
plate just in time to head off the base
runner from securing a run. The
Keokukian, seing himself cut off at
the plate, turned to run back to third.
Jumbo threw swiftly to Punk, who
caught the ball neatly and reached out
to touch the base runner. But he mad
turned and was scootinE for home
again, Punk threw quickly to Jumbo,
and the runner found himself checked
once more. Again he dashed back
like rabbit lodging between hounds.
Jumbo in his excitement threw wildly
to Punk who made furious leap into
the air and caught the ball with one
hand. When he reached earth again,
the base runner was darting home

He was just in time to catch the ball
that B. j. had missed, and the base
runner ran plump into Heady's arms
and was declared out. Heady by a
quick decision threw the ball to him
in time to put out the other base run

atonement for the mix-up that had

cheered the feat.
Ready feeling that it was his turn
to do something to wipe out the dis

three curves in succession to the next
batsman, who struck too high and
missed the drop curve and struck too
low and missed the rise; and jumped
back to escape an out curve that went
swiftly over the plate. Three strikes
and out. The first half of the first in
