THE DIAMOND.
RACE FOR
 THE PENNANT
Springfield Beats Bridge
 port and is Near the Top -Holyoke Threw Away
 a Game to New Haven.

Springfield, Aug 26.-Roy Clark opened with a single in yesterdays game with Bridgeport and reached third on a sacrifice and out, but could not cross the plate. In the last of this inning Joe Connor warmed the hearts of the patrons by beating out a bunt to first, and then going way to third on Altizers sacrifice. Tan sey bunted down the third base line, and the ball jumped away from Reyes, Joe scoring and Gene being safe on first. Flanagan lifted three bagger between center and right scoring Gene, and he came home on O'Connor's single. A double play cut off further scoring.
 Ladd singled and Altizer intro duced a juggling act in the second, but the visitors were kept from mak- ing the circuit. In the third the Ora tors certainly pounded Bill for keeps. Four hits came in Succession,, while Joe Connor had too much time on a throw to first and threw low. F'lana- Ran also contributed an error by let ting ball get by him in left field, 1.-two runners scoring. Hale's throw ito the plate, cutting off Reyes, who Iwas running for O'Rourke, kept the 1runs down to two.
 One of these the Ponies got back in the last of the inning. Altizer drew a pass and took two bases on iTansey's sacrifice, scoring on Flana- gan's fly to right field fence, which came within a foot of going over.
 The fifth gave the visitors a run they should not have had. Yale singled and stole second, Heffner Oe- ling trifie slow in putting the ball on {him. Ladd hit to center field and lhad Tansey hurried he could have caught the ball on the fly. Even when he did get 1t he had chance {fo cut Yale off at the plate,but did not try to. O'Dell got to third in this inning on a steal and poor throw by O'Connor, but Tansey got under Downey's fly which was no harder than Ladd's and the side was retired.
 A base on balls to Altizer, a steal and a single gave the Ponies a run in the fifth. Two more singles followed and filled the bases, but Crook and Heffner could not find a hit.
 The two runs for the Ponies in the seventh resulted from a pass to AL Hizer, a steal, two-base hit by O'Con- nor which O'Dell just missed getting, and single by Crook.
 Tn the eighth Hale opened with a twoJbagger over Fosters head, put could not score, missing a chance when Joe rConnor, who drew a pass, y tried to steal second.
 l The visitors made a fine bid for the game in the ninth. With one out came three hits in succession by Clark. Foster and Yale and Clark scored Ladd walked, filling the bases, but O'Dell went out to Flana- gan. The score:

The Pet and Navisator.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 26. = The players of favorites and special good things made bookmaking an unprofita- ble business at Highland park. The ring was hard hit on several races and particularly by the steeplechase, which was won by Navigator, who was the medium of very heavy play. The Pet, who made her first appearance at the meeting, easily won the feature event of four and half furlongs, for which she was a strong second choice to Darthula, who took the place. Easy Trade surprised the talent by repeat ing in the fifth race at the good price of 6 to 1. Nugget was the good thing in the first race and won by a nose in drive with digger. By Play and Christine A. were winning favorites in the second and third races.

He pleaded guilty on both com- plaints and was fined $25 and costs. which he paid.

Hartford, Aug 26-Hartford and Norwich successfully pulled off a double header yesterday although the second game was cut short owing to the unusual length of the first en- counter.

NEW CURE FOR APPENDICITIS.
Surgery Superseded and Patient Has
But to Walk on All FOurs
Four Times Day.

The medical journals of Berlin re-
port that some remarkable cures OF
mild cases of appendicitis are being
made by new method of treating the
disease before the knife is needed.
Certainly it is an original-almost an
aboriginal-method
1t is nothing less than to require the
pAient to walk on all tours for 20 min
utes four times day. 1t is claimed
that certain muscles around the vermi-
form appendix are brought into play
and strengthened by this quadrupedal
cure. which are unused when biped
walks erect. Others are relaxed, and
the localized Inflammation has oppoN
tunity TO slbside.
A we'll known diplomat, celebrated
for his haughtiness and punctilious-
ness. was cured of beginning Appendix
citis by this method lately. His asso-
ciates and the fashionables are laugh

"And this" said Armand, as if to
himself, "has been the devils deal"
"Aye! But It's time for n to start.

suited his watch. "Ten minutes to

ITO whom in especial, monseigneur?"
A red flush leaped into Armand's
cheek, and his teeth clinched convul-
sively. 1t was as if a great wave of
passion dashed the man and left him
tense and white. His tone, however, re-
NAMED as low as ever.
"You houndw he said. "You prowl-
ing wolf of the dark, who know no

A facial contortion drew Jarrat's lips
from his teeth. He stood In a leaning
posture, his knuckles fiat upon the ta-
BILE between them, thriving suspicion
IN his look. A fit of shuddering seized
Anne as she saw this look change swift

HIS voice had sunk to a metallic dull
ness, and he eyed the other, breathing
hard.
Now his tone leaped again: 81 know!
The French king had his own mind!
He sent your master message to con-
vey, a mesaage of comfort All, your

Anne sa,o both blades clang out.

anne SUlO OOtI OtQQeS CtUng Out
zen in her throat saw both blades
clang out with a single movement, saw
Jarrat hurl himself forward, heard the
steel meet. Mixed joy and horror held
her.
She understood. He had cherished
his masters purpose all along, pursued
by treachery, meeting cunning with
cunning, constrained to deception. 1t
was the true message Of the French
king that she clasped at that moment
under her cloak. To carry this he had
won his way from the hands of his en-
mics and fooled Jarrat to his purpose.
And now without the packet his voice
would give the message to the congress.
She had brought it just in time.
All this came to her at once in sue
cession Of pictures vivid as patches Of
night landscape seen by violet lightning
and at an instant when horror over
rolled her joy.
The street, the taproom, were so near.
Would none come to stop them? She
feared to declare herself, for start, q
remor of the hand, might mean death
to her lover.
She saw the quick end, powerless to
utter a cry. Armand stiffened sudden
ly, his left hand fallen low. His blade
passed like needle in sailcloth through
the others body, and Jarrat slipped in
huddle to the floor and lay still.
Anne tried to scream, but her throat
only gave forth whisper. Not till
Armand had sheathed his wet sword
and the door had closed upon him did
she find strength to part the curtains.
She looked upon the PROSTATE man in
terror. She must summon help and
then take the packet to Armand. She
realized suddenly that Jarrat was not
dead; that his eyes were upon her;
that he was struggling to a sitting
posture.
"You saw-you heardv' he gasped.
''Youw
