1904 GORDON BENNETT CUP RAoB

Thery's win cf the 1904 international
automobile cup race from the point of
view of the sportsmen was most popu-
lar. He was the dark horse, and sa "a
nothing about himself Or his car;
whereas Jenatzy was a boaster. Each
mornings post brought a new, threat
from Jenatzy that unless his retaining
fee was very much increased he would
not start. His threat of not running
reached to such pitch that on one oc-
casion he was told that it was not es-
sential that he should start, as some
one else would take his place The
postman was not troubled with further
letters Of demand for increased pay.
There is possibility Of collapse OF
the race as an event, the British motor
lists demanding change in the method
of running it. They object to speed
being the only test They have passed
resolutions declaring:
That a conference consisting of two
representatives of each club be imme-
diately called with view to:
Postponing the acceptances of chal-
lenges for next years race until August
II next.
The receiving of proposals as to the
alterations in the rules of the race.
That it is desirable in the interests
of the movement that the rules be i'm
mediately altered so as to make the
event not only a trial of speed, but
also'a test of the efficiency OF the motor
and the car.
That the race shall be for vehicles Of
type more suited to everyday use
and run at moderate speeds not involv-
ing the danger and expense of organ
ization inseparable from the existing
high speed racing.
That the race in order to do away
with the s'chance'' element shall extend
over several days.
The continental motorists say this is
display of the white feather.-Ed-

THE PUGILISTS.
NAY BE A
CONTEST
.Jeffries and MunrOe Have
Secured a CIub-Other
Fighting News.

San Francisco, July 13.-After a
long and bitter fight among the differ
ent clubs here to secure a permit to
bring off the Munroe-J efffies affair for
the worlds championship in August,
the prize has finally been landed by
the Yosemite A. c.. the club under
whose auspices the mill was originally
scheduled.
A few weeks ago some surprise was
created by the announcement that the
permit committee OF the board Of su.
pervisors had reported in favor of
granting the privilege for August to
the Hayes Valley A. @. This was as
a bombshell in the ranks OF the Yo-
semitic club matchmakers. as they had
figured on handling the championship
event in August after being compelled
to abandon the project in June.
One of the reasons the Hayes Valley
club seemed likely to obtain the favor
from the supervisors was that it had
complied with the boxing ordinance in
the matter of maintaining a properly
equipped gymnasium for its members.
The Yosemite club secured postpone
ment Of further consideration in the
board and the whole thing was re
ferred back to the police committee.

Hives of Hartford and Meriden seemed

after terrific contest of eleven innings

pugnacious player, punched Martens,
the gritty little umpire, and was
Thrown out of the game. Burns, the
Meriden school boy, collided with the
bulky Bunyan and was looked upon as
lost. Sam Kennedy used language I'M

threw the rules to the wind, for after
the umpire decided against him he

Springfield, July 13.-For ten days

Manager Pat Prindiville and t+@= Hol-
yoke contingent what would happen
when the two teams came together,
and they have told him he had another
guess coming. Therefore yesterday

Ponies had not only won the game, but

the Paper Makers and pushed them

ear to ear.
Dowd's Delights have been spending
several days searching the Holyoke
junk shops for old rusty horseshoes,
and they brought down bag full of
them yesterday. Fitzpatrick had one
in each shoe and one in his glove,
while Batch and Bertwhistle were well
supplied. Fitz made two phenomenal
stops and each of them prevented the
Ponies from scoring. Bathc pulled
down a bunt with one hand which
looked safe and Bertwhistle got in
front of Altizer's drive which the wind
helped into his territory
The luck certainly broke Holyoke's
way, but 1t was not all luck, either, for
it had the eramarSs of great fielding.
Only four assists fell to the lot Of the
visitors and three of these belonged to
Fitzpatrick. In, fact. only five of the
Ponies died at Pop Slater's hands on
the kind.
The Ponies, on the other hand, were
kept busy handling ground balls ana
they proved to be artists in this line.
|SAItizer only had two assists, but they
were both difficult balls to handle. Er

in an editorial in this, months issue
says that the boat races this year
have proved the statement made a
year ago that t'if Harvard wants to

The editorial states that while Col

not professional in such sense as is
Kennedy of Yale. The Bulletin did
not approve Of the selection Of Colson
as coach.
In conclusion the editorial says
.9This is the time for Harvard to say
to Yale: we will continue to row

coaching for your university crew; if
you are to have a professional coach,
you must look elsewhere for an OPP

AS there are no labor-saving machines
in Korea woman's work is done by the
crudest methods possible, form hulling

to washing clothes by beating them in
the streams and ironing them with
sticks. In order to iron, the clothes
must be ripped apart and wrapped
around wooden roller while damp;
they are then beaten by either one or
two women. 1t is surprising to see the
gloss on the white calico and the sheen

WHITE FLOUR SELLS BEST.
Tinge of Yellow Makes It Unstable
New Bleaching Process In
creases Nutrition.


Nothing, declares the New York
Times, has bothered the millers and
the health faddists more than the de-
mand among Americans for white
-four. The whittier the -four the better
it sells, and of late years -four that
had the slightest tinge of yellow has
been practically unstable Now, yell
low is the natural color OF -four. and in
order to obtain the pure whiteness SO
much in demand the flour has to be sub
mitted to bleaching process, which
the health faddists declare much i'm
pairs its nutritive qualities This is not
denied by the millers, who, however, are
only interested in giving the public what
It wants.
An Englishman named Alsop has now
come forward with a new process for
bleaching -four, which, 1t is alleged, in
stead Of impairing the nutritive quail
ties of the -four, increases them. This
process consists of submitting the -four
to the action OF air which has been sub
jected to the action of an arc or flaming
discharge Of electricity. Analyses made
In some of the state agricultural de-
partments show that ordinary untreated
-four contains 54-1. 900 Of its own bulk
of heterogeneous matter, while treated
-four contains 75-1 900.

,1ill4nston, Md, Almost Destroyed.

WELLINGTON, Md, July 13.--W Within
three hours the little town of Milling
ton was almost destroyed by a fire
which originated In blacksmith shop
and spread SO rapidly that forty-two
buildings were consumed, entailing a
loss Of between $4,000 and 100000.
Many, persons were homeless last
night. The arrival Of a special train
from Wilmington bringing the Wash
ington and Liberty fire companies OF
that place prevented the spread of the
flames to the western section Of the
place, where the better residences are.
Not a store in the town escaped de-
struction. Mrs Florence Forbes is
missing, but there Is an expectation
that she will be found. Before the
flremen could reach the blazing black
smith shop an electrical rainstorm Wis
tied the place The wind stirred the
burning embers and caused the fire to
spread. The burned district is prin-
cipally in the business streets.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Several new faces were seen on the
Norwich team which played under

Tighe has definitely decided to go to
New Bedford and Terry Rogers is
quoted as saying that he will have
nothing to do with the independent
mana ement which has secured con-
troll Of the team and that he is unpop-

play independent ball rather than
stay in Norwich. Norwich papers say
however, that his loss will not be felt

in charge of the team.

AS the field swung into the stretch
HighbaIl was seen to falter, and Odom

Bridgeport and as a result New Ha-

of the ball, especially by Clark and
Downey, each making four hits in
five times at the bat, the former TAX
ing one two Dagger and the latter two
of them. Under ordinary circum-
stances the hits would have been good
for a dozen runs, but they were scat
