NOT A 800 MAN
AMONG SENATORS
But Several Men Are I'M
proving.
C0UGHLIN GOING WELL
Fielding Fast and Batting Hard-Cas-
sidy and Stahl Pulling Up-Last
in Both Departments.
C0UGHLIN GOING WELL

Drill and Coughlin are the only Sena-
tors who are hitting within haiIing dis
lance of the 800 mark. Lewis swatting
record is .297 and Bill is an even ten
points below the stocky backstop. Nearly
hundred points down the list is little
Cassidy, with .237, and four points be-
low him is Jake Stahl.
From Stahl, the others range down
TO Bill Clarke, with III. Only two
regular players. Abbott and Schwartz,
are below Clarke.
Bill Coughlin. in spite OF his weak
prop. is going better than at any time
This season. The Scranton boy is
knocking down base hits At third with
the regularity of clock-wor6 and is bat
ting up 10 his best form. having pulled
w considerably in the past two weeks.
Pleasant to Note.
The Improvement shown by Cassidy
and Stahl too. is pleasant to note
Cassidy had a bad week with the stick
last week. but hit the ball nard and
often during the Senator's sojouru in The
West. Stahl continues to plug the
leather in good, steady style and is
fast pulling up the list.
Both have likewise shown a great i'm
provement afeld. With his Increased
supply Of confidence Stahl plays the first
bag finely. High ores and dirt diggcrs
look alike TO him. Cassidy was always
reckcned as a good fielder and is bearing
up his reputation. He covers NOR
ground and Is a sUrer fielder than many
OF the short ielders. but has not vet
properly gagged the distance 20 first

low, but both are fast in the outneld.
Herring, however. has stacked I'D
against pitchers of the first water in his
games, and may deliver the goods.
O'NeiH, too, is looked upon to improve.
The Senators rank last In both club
batting and club fielding. which ac-
counts for their being anchored 10 the
ground floor. Weakness with the willow.
however, has lost a majority Of their
games. Seldom have the Senators been
defeated by overN helming scores. Most
Of their games have been lost by one or
two runs, and had they two men in the
outneld who We're capable OF hitting

even terms with Detroit

Three More Days For Washingtonians to
Name Horses to Compete in Baltimore.
Circulars Out-Cheap Rate Obtained.

Only ten days remain until the re-
newal Of intercity trotting and pacing
races between Washington and Balti-
more. July p is the date set for the
meeting between the speed horses of the
rival cities. Gentlemen's Driving Park.
where the races are to be held, has
been greatly improved recently. and
from the Monumental City come reports
that it is in better condition and faster
than in many years previous.
The preliminary parade from Cam
den Station to the park, which was
planned as one Of the features Of the
day. will have to be abandoned. The
main streets Of Baltimore between the
station and Gentlemen's Driving Park
are included in the fire-swept territory.
Because of the heavy traffic and i'm
provements being made there, it was
considered advisable to call the parade
off. as it might be attended with dan
ger 10 both horses and persons.

Instead Of arriving at the Camden
Station the Washingtonians have
changed their plans. and will 90 over
the Western Maryland Road. which
can switch from the Baltimore and

SHIELDS HIS AssAlLANT.
New York Man Refuses to Identity
Man Who Shot Him.

New York, Nov. 25.-Guy Roche, a
sporting man, who killed "Sheeny"
George Levy nine years ago, was shot
and probably fatally wounded late yes
terday afternoon in Broadway, be-
tween Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth
streets, while the venue was throug-
ed with promenaders. Stewart FELTON,,
know as big" Frank, also a sporting
man, was arrested, charged with hav-
ing fired the shot. He denied the
charge. Although he was told that he
would die, Roche refused to say that
FELTON, shot him and declared that it
he lived he would settle the account
himself.
The shooting occurred in the midst
of a crowd that filled the sidewalk, and
Immediately there was wild excite
ment. FELTON, turned and dashed
through the crowd, followed by humid
reds of men and women, who shouted
for the police. Running to Seventh
avenue, FELTON, entered a saloon and
was there arrested. He was taken to
where Roche lay and an effort was
made to have the wounded man iden-
tify him.
Leave it to me; if l die, all right;
if 1 live, 1 will make good" was all
Roche would say.
Roche was hurried to a hospital,
where, it was said, his condition is
critical.
BY this time the crowd had grown
to such proportions that had
to be called before FELTON, could be
taken to a police station. There two
witnesses said they saw FELTON, fire
two shots the instant before Roche
fell.
Felton, is said to have come from
Chicago several years ago. Roche is
35 years old. In 1895 he was convict
ed of killing "Sheeny" George Levy
and was sent to Sing Sing to n
nine years, but. was pardoned after
serving four years. At the hospital
again tonight he refused to say who
had shot him.

which he went to the White house, the
friends to whom he was personally
and officially indebted, and those
whose course had made recognition OF
them impossible. With that stubborn
adherence to facts that marked his
entire life, he states facts until every
page of the history is alive with brist-
ling statements, and yet through it all
there is nothing that savors of the
slightest violation of the confidential
relations and communications that are
a necessary part Of the life of every
president. 1t appears to have been
his sole aim to enable his biographer
to write an actually correct statement.

tration, and to Place each man con

cording to the work he had performed,
SO that the public might know why
n man was placed above another
and full justice done to those whose
laDors mad aided In making the admin
istration' what it proved to be.
It is doubtful if there has ever come
from the inner circle of the White
house a story SO filled with historical
facts, so rich in details that lend aid
to the public in understanding why
certain courses were pursued. That
it. will prove the most interesting
paper of the year when it is given to
the public is deemed certain by those
who have had ar opportunity for
knowing some of the facts it contains.
There are many OF the close personal
friends of the ex-president who are
we'll informed concerning the general
contents of the history, and they agree
it will be of interest POLITICALLY and
historically when it see the light.
