PAST WEEK IN RAGING

Despite the fact that records have been
going by the board during all OF the
present season the man who would have
predicted such record breaking as was
the case last week would have been con-
sidered a crank. Yet the impossible has
come to pass and now we have two
horses trotting a mile In 900 and a new
record for the pace.
That these new records were aided ma
terially by the device known az the wind
shield no one will deny. yet the marvel
OF the performances is none the less
Major Delmars mile In 2:Oo was not
unexpected. for he has been coming
rapidly, and II was simply n matter OF
keeping on edge and getting a good day

however. was a surprise.
The horse has placed the record where
IL seems beyond the reach Of any PAGER
In sight. Dan Patch has little chance
OF approaching Il this season. ~ ever

VIII Rivsrpoints.
Four Important Boxing Events TO Be
Fought This Week.

Providence played her last game yes
terday TO a crowd of about 500 people
down at the Rocky Point grounds. That
the attendance was not better was large-
ly due to the fact that the weather was
not the most conducive TO baseball enthu-
siasm. The contest was between the
Grays and team from the vicinity
travelling under the name OF the River
points. The score In the game was un-
satisfactory for two reasons, mainly.
Providence had not her full compliment
OF regular players and some OF the de-
cisions OF Mr. Lanigan were OF the same
sort as the weather. raw and gusty. Even
the Riverpoint men say this and affirm
that they Wauld have much preferred to
have the game won on Its merits than
TO have had the score as IL was.
The reasons given for the facts OF the
score do not take away any OF the credit
due 10 the Riverpoint players for the
game that they played for the stuff they
put UP. was OF the gilt edge sort. and
they played in fast style from start TO
finish. Pappalau was expected to pitch
for the Providence team but he was
found TO be missing at the roll call and
Conn had 10 be summoned from the field
to do the twlrling. He had not filled
the position for two months and for this
reason he was handicapped Braun, OF
the Milwaukee w estern league, and Null
holland a well known local player had
10 be pressed into service to complete the
team.
Rlverpoint came 10 bat first and three
of the first four men up went down and
out The one that did not fan out was
hit on the elbow by a pitched ball. This
made things look pretty well for Provi-
dence. particularly when Braun came up
to bat for the Grays and drove to left
going around 10 third with Stafford trail
ing hit 10 second and both men safe on
account of fiuke play in which II was
hoped TO trap the willy Westerner. These
two men scored when Crisham hit for
one base and Connor sent one out to
centre where Taylor did a Juggling act,
allowing the manager 10 steal second.
AImie and Rock put an end to the in
ming
In the second Ford started some trouble
which made things look rather dis
couraging and netted four runs for the
Riverpoints This man sent a whizzing
bounder out toward Connor which gave
him the sensation OF sea-sicHhess. Cahil
famed. Taylor got a hit. and Dresser
went TO first on balls. After Conn hit
another man on the elbow and Gilligan
sent a long teaser just out of Stafford's
reach the nsxt two men went out and
retired the side.
The next inning was fatal for the
Providence bunch, while the opponents
got another run. In the third inning
Providence had a chance to force ahead,
but Umpire Lanigan was there with his
cruel eye and the opportunity was lost.
There was no more scoring till the eighth
when Riverpoint scored once. This ended
the tallying. The feature OF the game
was the all round playing Of Murray for
the Riverpoints. The score:

the Pullman car which was well
worthy of description.
Among the passengers were a
man from Tucson, returning home
from a trip to Guaymas, young
gentleman recently from Canton,
Ohio. veritable Adonis. tall,
straight and handsome as picture;
an older gentleman associated with
him in business, who has been in
Mexico some years and speaks
Spanish fluently; and a stylish and
dashing young lady from Guaymas,
going to California to visit. The
young gentleman from Canton and
his companion, who boarded the
train at Hermosillo, came only so
far as Magdalena.
As soon as the train started, 1t
was Immediately apparent to the OBJ
serving scribe that the Ohio man had
made decided impression upon
the young lady. She fastened her
gaze upon his handsome face and
comelv form and followed all OF
his movements with a tender inter
est. The two gentlemen were
seated in the section opposite the
one she occupied, giving free OPP
portunity for conversation. Divin-
ing that the companion of our
Ohio man spoke Spanish, the lady
addressed few remarks to him,
and very soon was engaged in an
animated conversation, the most OF
which, however, was very plainly
addressed to the handsome fellow
from Canton, who, however, was
Just acquiring the rudiments OF
Spanish, and felt that he was
handicapped in his effortsto do the
agreeable.
'If you could only speak Greek
or German, or knew Spanish as
do those languages" said our
hero, half to himself and half
aloud, 1--WE would get along to-
gether a great deal better"
The lady replied with a bewitch-
ing smile, as though she under
stood him (which she really did.
but for reasons of her own wished
not to divulge the fact), that she
regretted her inability to speak
English; and she invited him to
seat beside her, which he took vito
alicrity, and in little while she
was struggled up to him like the
traditional kitten against warm
brick in January, carrying on all
the time an animated conversation,
the gentleman holding up his own
end with mixture of Spanish and
English, and, while he understood
very little she said, he was very
evidently enjoying himself.
Through all this performance
the Tucson man was an interested
spectator-one who was very free
with his comments.
Now wouldn't that jar you?"
asked the Tucson party Gust (
see the gall of that Canton chap.
Why, | believe he is going to hug
her right here in the car, before us
all. He has got his arm down be-
tween her and the back OF the seat.
and inside of ten minutes he will
have it around her waist And an
hour ago she had never seen him
in her life. | don't wonder that
these Ohio men get along in
politics, business or anything they
tackle"
The gentleman from Canton left
the train at Magdalena. receiving a

So he seated himself by the lady,
produced one of the little books
which engage to teach Spanish in
twelve easy lessons, and proceeded
to carry on a conversation by the
aid of that useful volume Find
ing the idea he wished to convey
in the English sentences, he handed
the lady the book indicating the
Spanish equivalent upon the OPP
posite page. The lady entered
into the spirit OF the affair and
hunted in the book for replies to
his questions, and for inquiries
with which to ply her entertainer.
After a while the Tucson party
seemed vainly endeavoring to find
something he wanted in the book.
Coming over to the writer he said:
II want to invite her to take
glass of beer. and | can't find it in
the book. What shall | say?"
ask her, quiere I'd an raso de
cerreza?"
"Oh | can't remember all that.
But | have a plan"
Returning to his seat by the lady,
the Tucson man ordered the porter
to bring him a bottle of beer, of
which he had brought aboard
dozen when starting, and a glass.
The beer was brought, uncorked,
glass filled and passed to the lady,
with the politest smile ever seen in
the old pueblo
"No, gracias." said the lady,
reckoning away the foaming glass,
with an equally polite smile.
"Take tit will do you good"
said the Tucson party, again prof
fering the glass.

"But must take it; it's very
warm and the beer will refresh

was supposedly talking with one
who did not understand English.
mo, l thank you, l don't drink

lish. but with a charming accent.
"Now wouldn't that jar you'll"
exclaimed the Tucson man. "She

When it was suggested that now
he had found the lady could talk
English with ease and huency, he |
might let out link or two in his !
gall and show that the Tucson
brand is superior to the Canton
article, but he said:
"No, haven't lived in Tucson |

pueblo, my gall has got rusty, and |
it don't work well yet"
