woMENs CLUBS THRIVE.
PessImists Say They Are a Fad, Bat
They Go On Increasing In
Numbers.

The latest eLStion Of the official d.
rectory of the woman's clubs of Chi
cago shows that the pessimists who
say that Women's clubs are fad, and
that they die soon after they are ere
ated because Of the members being
extremely tickle in their allegiance to
their clubs, are entirely and totally
wrong, says the Chicago Tribune.
There have been four editions of
the official directory. The first one
printed, which covered the years 1899
1900, reveals that there were &c clubs
at that time. The next years d.
rectory shows that the number of
clubs had leaped to 112. Then the
pessimist would naturally expect that
the directory of the following year
would indicate a slump back to some
thing like the number of clubs given
in the first directory. But the book
for the year 19O1-19O2 reports 81 clubs
in existence, and the new directory
for the year 19O2-19Os gives the names
of 95 clubs.
A comparison of the book just is
sued with the one first published
shows that almost all the clubs given
in the first volume are alive and pros
porous. The biggest change was be-
tween the years 1900 and 1901 and 1901
and 1902, when the number of clubs
slumped from 112 to 81. An examine
ton of the directories of these dates
will show that few of the clubs actual
" died, but after the phenomenal
jump from &c to 112 it was found that
many of the clubs could do better by
merging under one name.

CREATING A WATERFALL.
Great Piece of Engineering That Has
Been Accomplished at
Niagara.

When the waters of the Niagara
river were made 10 flow over turbines
to give electric power and light to the
city of Buffalo it was considered
great revolutionary feat of engineer
ing, saws an account of ''The Greatest
of Power Dams" in Leslie's Month
". But at Niagara the dan and the
fan were there from the beginning.
The power was ready in the rough
it had only to be applied TO the ma
chinery. When, however, it was pro-
posed to utilize the speed and force
of the Hudson river and to turn them
into the power that lights towns, runs
street railways and Titalizes factory
plants the problem was a different
one. The river was there, but the
fall had to be created, and to do this
It would be necessary to build one
of the largest dams ever constructed,
a wall, in fact, 1,4OO feet long and 154
feet high, at certain points. No such
barrier, great or small, had ever been
placed across a river of a volume and
flow equal to that of the Hudson just
above Glens Falls, n. Y, yet this has
now been successfully accomplished.

Special to The Globe.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 2S.-The
Saints lost out today in the ninth in
ming of a game that will come very
close to being the hottest thing of the
season. Hits were scarce and the field
ing was gilt edged.
St. Paul did not make the least sign
of a mistake and the errors of Colum-
bus did not count anything.
For seven inning Ace Stewart work.
ed his underhand raise ball to perfec-
ton. Most of the time the Senators
hit under the ball and sent up little
flies Stewart allowed but four hits in
these seven rounds and no two came
together.
He was in a little danger in the first
inning. With two men out. Turner
tripled and Raymer struck liner
straight through the box. Ace threw
up his hands, beat down the ball and
got it to first just in time.
Meanwhile ST. Paul had done enough
punching on Berger to get two runs
In the third doubles by Geier and jack
son scored the former.
In the sixth Schaefer doubled to the
left-fieId fence and scored on a rous-
ing single to right by Higgins. After
this Berger settled down, allowing but
two hits and both of these We're Texas
Ieaguers" by Stewart.
Stewart weakened a bit in the eighth
and Columbus started on the winning
road. Schaefer grabbed liner from
Fox. Berger hit to left and went to
third on Arndt's double to the left cor
ner of the lot. Gleason rolled a slow
one to Higgins and Berger scored.
Gleason being caught at first. Turner
doubled Geier.
Sullivan and Stewart got on bases in
St PauPs last round but two were out
before them and Geier was Bannon's
victim.
Raymer was first up for CeG-Smbus
and he sent a fly to left. Flournoy
first misjudged the ball and then
slipped down, letting it fall safe. Ban
non tore double down the third base
line and it is quite probable that the
ball was foul. Higgins and the rest
kicked, but Cunningham, of course, re-
fused to bulge. Clingman came next
and was hit in the shoulder. 1t was up
to Mellor back in the game today after
a layoff. He swiped at the second ball
and it went bounding past Schaefer,
who was playing in close. Both Ray
mer and Bannon came home and it was
all over, with nobody out. The score:

AGREEMENT DOES NOT
LOOK GOOD TO MINORS
Little League Magnates Find Flaws In
Draft Submitted by Big Ones.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug 28.-The meet
ing of minor league presidents which
will consider the new baseball agreement
submitted by the major league magnates
has been called for Sunday. Sept. 6, in
New York.
While the major league representatives
who attended the peace conference are
averse to discussing their probable ac-
tion in New York, it is known that the
upon with favor. 1t is pointed out that
while article II. says that each party re-
tains the right to conduct its affairs and
govern its players. article Ill takes that
power away from the minor leagues.
The national commission is composed
of two American leagues and one Ma
tional league officials, from whose de-
cision on points at issue there is no ap-
peal. Where there is dispute over player
between minor league and the Ma
tional league. the national commission
will have absolute power to settle the
matter Arbitration with one of the dis
putants sitting in judgment while the
other is not represented, is looked upon
by the minor league magnateS as most
remarkable proposition.
Other articles in the agreement which
do not find favor with the representatives
of the minor leagues are the drafting
clause and the method of paying for
players drafted. Under the terms of the
leagues will have two and one-hah
months In which to draft players. while
the former rule gave them only one month

Boy Wins the 2:16 Trot.

BOSTON, Mass. Aug. 2S.-Pool selling
today's racing. He won both his races
and received great applause from the
spectators.
Prince of Orange was an even-money
favorite for the 2:0S trot, Dan T being
the hope of the field buyers. Unfortunate
ly for them, Dan T made break in the
first heat at the seven -eighths pole, when
closing fast in on the favorite, and again
in the second at the half, which ruined
his chances for the race, and Prince of
Orange won by neck.
A big plunge was made on Frank VIII
son for the 2:13 pace, even in face of
the fact that Major c had defeated him
at Brighton Beach last week. In the
initial heat Cox. with Major c, kept hard
after Frank Wilson, making him pace the
heat in 2:06A in order to win.
This took lot of pace out Of the in
bred Cambetta Wilkes gelding, as was
shown by his giving it up in the home
stretch in the next two heats.
Scott Hudson did not want to start
Dillon Boy in the 2:16 trot, but as he had
not withdrawn him from the race last
evening according to the rules, the judges
compelled him to start the horse. Hud-
son, on account of his suspension, en-
gagged Ed Benyon to drive for him. Dillon
Boy won both heats only after a most
severe drive the last loo yards. 1t was
his second victory of the week.
Another to win twice in the meeting
was AL Book. but he only had good
workout to take the 2:19 pace.
