| MlRTHFUL WAS A
SPLENDID SIRE.

Mirthful John e. Maddison's stallion
which was destroyed at Lexington
Wednesday, was one of the leading
sires of the country and his gets are
prominent race horses, both in the
East and West. Aceful, the crack colt
which was thought enough of to send
him to Englnad to try for the Derby,
was a Mirthful C. r. Ellison's Skill
full is another, and Pat DUNES Glass
full, which set new worlds mark for
a mile and a sixteenth at Washing
ton Park, his time being 1:44, is one of
the Mirthful colts. Jackful is another,
Mexican, Merry Reel and S. c. Hill
dreth's crack filly, Witful, are all by
the wonderful sire, and there are many
which have not been heard from yet,
including 2-year-olds and upward, be-
sides any number of yearlings. Mirth-
full was favorite for the American derby
in 1898, when he failed to finish inside
the money, the big event being won
by Pink Coat.

DIAMOND STARS TAKING SECOND
WIND In RACE FOR PENNANT|
NATIONAL LEAGUERS
PUNCHING IN THE STRETCH.

With all of their family troubles set
tied the teams of the big league will
again set sail to catch all the wind
possible in the final tack for the bit of
coveted cloth. Closer and closer are
they punched, until now, a fact, which
seemed improbable a week, ago. it
looks as if the pennant might be won
by either one. of the three leaders.
Pittsburg has lost several of her
points of vantage, and the Colts have
been coming fast in the past few
weeks. With the wild and daring
players that now make up this West
ern aggregation settled into a steady
stride it is not at all unlikely that the
Giants will fall to the third position
before the end of the week, while the
Colts go on up nearer to the leaders.
Wise judges have predicted that the
national in the Chicago team, when
brought down to the proper stage OF
training, will constitute the fastest
ball team that the world ever saw, and
already they have opened the eyes OF
the old timers by their new methods
and startling innovations. To-day
they are only twenty points behind
New York and less than 100 points be-
hind the leaders. They have improv-
ed their position by forty-eight points
since last Sunday.
The Phillies have also shown re-
markable improvement in their last
few series. They clearly outpfayed
New York yesterday, though winning
by a close margin. The leaders also
suffered a drubbing at the hands OF
the st. Louis Browns. Boston took two
from Brooklyn.

TOP-NOTCHERS IN
BIG LEAGUE.

Hans Wagner retains his position as
leader of the National League bats
men, keeping up a percentage OF $40,
and having a lead of 9 points on Roger

ny Steinfeldt is third and Fred Clarke
fourth.
Twenty-Five men are batting 300 or
better. OF these Pittsburg has four,
New York four. Cincinnati the same
number, Boston two, Philadelphia only
one. Chicago four, Brooklyn one and
ST. Louis two. Beaumont leads in runs

than games played, while Beau and
Wagner are the only men who have
made over 100 hits.
Pittsburg leads in team batting. Chi
cago second. The Pirates have an Inn
mense margin in the way of extra base
hitting.

ing and Warner the catchers. Doyle
heads the first basemen. Magoon the

MONTGOMERY MADE 1T
THREE STRAIGHTS.

Visiting COIOred Team Outbnttcd
ChathRms and Won Easily Again.
The Montgomery negro team added
another victory to their list OF laurels
yesterday afternoon at the Bolton
Street Park, pounding victory out of
defeat, and winning from the Chat
hams by a score of IL to 4.
The visitors clearly outclassed the
locals at the bat, and were fast in
the field. The most notable feature of
the game was the pitching Of the
Montgomery twirler. He has the speed
of a catapault, and a regular bender
that was puzzling to remarkable de-
gree. In the early stages OF the game
yesterday it looked as if the Chathams
would win. They sent four men across
the plate in the first four innings,
while two was the best the visitors
could do. In the seventh, however
Montgomery commenced smuggling and
four doubles, one triple and three
singles netted seven runs.
1t has been learned that the Macon
team can not come here next week, as
was stated, they having an engage
ment to play the Charlotte, N. c., team
at Macon, Monday, Tuesday and We'd
neSday.

~ faithful few who are working their
Inns TO win the pennant for their re-

~ having their ability questioned by
being changed and replaced until they
Sorf know one day where they are

AS a matter of fact it is bordering on

heat of August beaming down on fan
6onls hopes. Take a look at the sit
,,ation from the sensible view point
The view point of the manager who
has more at stake than any one else
I'm winning the fight for the flag of
diamond renown.
No team in any league at this stage
of the struggle is willing to turn loose
a good pitcher, and no manager with
his skylight free from mud, is willing
10 sign SlaDHldu Will d punk CdId~
pault. Whenever you read that some
team has bought a star pitcher this late
IN the season, it. is dollars to doughnuts
that there is a flaw in the diamond
somewhere. Diamond history bears
out the statement that new material
does not strengthen. The time to build
up the team and get it to working to-
eeher is early in the campaign, and 1t
is bad policy to import new players
after June, unless by some accident
q manager is able to pick UP a real
star.
Take the case of Memphis. With a
lead of something like 120 points, Man
ager Frank set sail for new talent and
spent something like $4,000 for three
new pitchers, new infielder and a new
outielder. Fans all around the circuit
were pointing to the ability of Frank
10 get new material. Note the result.
With this new bunch of players Frank
lead has been cut down from 100 points
to 80, and he is now struggling with a
badly organized team to keep the lead
through the end of the month.
With five of the teams holding an
average of over 800. with two of the
others just a few points below, and
with no one of the clubs possessing an
average which reaches the 800 mark,
there is still a desperate fight ahead for
the pennant. They are punched in a
lump. and only the deity who rules over
baseball can tell which will reach the
rag first at the end.

SPOKANE GIRL THREW
BALL 205 FEET.

Miss Anna Duncalfe, 10 years old,
Spokane. Wash, girl, has broken all
known records for women in throwing
the baseball. She hurled the sphere
at Natatorium Park a distance Of 2O5
feet and inch. The best record known
to have been made before Miss Dun
calfe's throw was made by Miss Ber-
tina Burgett, the Vassar champion. 1t
registered ISL feet. Miss Duncalfe is of
slight build and does not show
strength, merely displaying a supple
ness of action that marks her as an
athlete. When Miss Burgett made ISL
feet it was thought to be remarkable
that one of the fair sex could perform
such a feat. A throw of 205 feet Is
what the player in a game Of ball
makes when he lands the sphere at
the home base from fairly deep field.

SOLDIERS WILL
BATTLE TOMORROW.

The final arrangements for the game
between the Fort Screven artillery
team and the team from the Troop c,
Seventh Cavalry, have been made, and
the game will be played tomorrow aft
ernoon at the Bolton Street Park, COM
mencing at 4:S0.
The cavalrymen have had little op-
portunity to practice since they have
been here. but they are confident that
even with this handicap that they will
put up a game that will interest the
artillerymen. The Fort Screven team
is the strongest local aggregation IN
Savannah, and If they are defeated by
the cavalrymen there is little doubt
but that the game will be the best
PLAYED here this season.

PHILLIES CLOSE ON
BEANEATERS HEELS.

Uncle Cyrus Young is having a ter
rible struggle to hold his lead, and 1t
is only due now to his wonderful vi
tality and work that the Bean Eaters
are leading the Phillies. Though Cy is
getting old and fat he has not lost his
cunning and whenever he thinks a
game has got to be won he goes out
and saws a little wood an then hands
the opposing youngsters a few of the
benders that he learned in an expert
ence with a Kansas cyclone. Two
games only separate the Bean Eaters
from the Phillies, and If Cy holds his
first place through this week he will
have to pull off his coat and get in
the game himself.
The race made by the Philhes for
the past few weeks has been a mag
nificent exhibition of generalship.
Away from home most of the time
they succeeded in increasing their av-
erage each week, until now they are
swinging to Uncle Cy's coattails like
grim death. But Cy says he will win,
and those who know him have faith
for no better judge of the possibilities
of ball team ever lived than that
same Cyrus. He adedd a few points to
his average yesterday by plucking one
from the New Workers. Cleveland
pulled up a few pegs by walloping ST..
Louis and the tailenders crossed the
wire Just in front of the Phillies.
Taken all in all this Is perhaps the
prettiest race of them all. and GER
tainly the attendance evinces more in
terest on the part of the ball loving
public. The three leaders are within
fifty points of each other, while the
others are over a hundred points be-
low third place.

WAYcROSS BEAT SOLDIERS.
Won the Third and Concluding
Game From Fort Screven.

Waycross, Ca, July 25.-Half the city
turned out this Afternoon to see the
third game of the series Of three be-
tween Waycross and Fort Screven.
The game was by far the best played
here this year and was Waycross'
game from the first inning.
At one time 1t appeared that the
soldiers would be shut out, but they
finally got in one run, the score being
to /.
The feature of the game was q rum
ming fly caught by Harper in left
field. Fort Screven tried Werner, Err
win and CrosIey in the box, but the
three together only famed out five
men. Middleton, in the box for Way
cross, pitched magnificent ball, strik-
ing out twelve men. Smith caught for
Fort Screven and Capo for Waycross.
The following was the lineup:
