AMERICAN RACE i,
FIXED, SAYS FAN
2ittsburg Writer in Some Way
Has Doped It Out that High
Ianders Are to Be Given the
Prize.

So the H~ighlanders are to win the
American pennant this season. Al
least SO a young man named Davis,
who writes sensational baseball for
q Pittsburg paper, has solved the
championship problem for the Amer
lean League.
Living far from the battlefield OF
the American League. Mr.. Davis has
had no chance to size up the work OF
the different teams in this great or
%ganization, hut when asked by a st.
Louis paper to give his opinion as to
the outcome Of the American League
race, he answered that New York
would win the championship for the
reason that President Ban johnson
had so ordered.
johnson the Pickerf
From this one would infer that Mr..
Johnson also picked out Chicago. the
Athletics of Philadelphia and the Bos-
ton club for winners during the last
three years and will set the New York
fans wild with delight by ordering the
rennant to New York the coming sea-
son.
Now, this would be interesting news
bat for the fact that Mr.. Davis has a
record as a prophet, and one. by the
way, that is full OF holes. d,
Last fall he was more than busy tell
irg his readers what easy victims the
Boston Americans would be for the
wonderful Pittsburg club. of which the.
proprietors CT his paper are heavy
stockholders. The Pittsburg sports
thought so well' OF his tips that they
had some hesitancy in putting down
their good money unless thew were Civ
en- big odds. and later were dead sore
because they had been misled into bet
ting at all.
Is 1t possible that Ban johnson was
responsible for Henry Killilea's club
winning the worlds championship from
Barney Dreyfuss's thrice national leagus
champions? An. t

INSANE MAN ESCAPES
FROM DEPUTY SHERIFF
Jumps From a Moving Train While
Being Taken to Stockton Asylum
and Disappears.

FRESNO, Aug. 30.-As the Santa
Fe limited was pulling out of Fresno
at noon to-day Joseph Mcmillan, who
was being taken from Bakersfield to
the insane asylum at Stockton, jump
ed from the train, rolled in the dust,
picked himself UP and ran away.
Mcmillan was violent when taken
into custody at Bakersfield, but during
his examination acted so quietly that
the deputy did not think 1t necessary
to place handouts on him. But few
minutes were lost in starting the
search for Mcmillan. but no trace Of
him has been found.
People in the neighborhood are
much frightened and show anxiety for
the capture of Mcmillan. as they are
afraid of being attacked by him. He
is subject to morose moods, during
which he is violent.

PROTECTION. Is DENIED
Visit of Tie Hang to South
ern Provinces ArOuses Be-
lief in Another Uprising

SHANGHAI, Aug. 30.-A revival of
'Boxerism" is reported from Tamingfu,
in the southwestern part of Pechili
province, 215 miles from Tientsin.
More than twenty American mission
aries, inclGding women and children,
have been obliged to leave Ia
mingfu. owing to- an intended massacre
by Boxers" who call themselves
''Tsaiyun."
The local telegraph company refused
to transmit message from these mis-
sionaries to Minister Conger at Peking.
Fortunately, however, an English
friend in Honan forwarded their mes
sage, whereupon Yuan Shih Kai, vice
roy of Peehili province, dispatched ur-
gent orders for their protection.
In view of the fact that the local
authorities gave them no protection
and there was no hope of continuing
their work, the missionaries all came
out. They travelled in safety.
Grave doubts are felt in some quar-
ters here as to the real intentions of
Tie Hang. who is at present absent
from Peking on a visit to the southern
provinces. A similar mission under
taken by Kang Vi before the last
Boxer" rising is recalled.
