Three times did a diaphanous CLINT of
hope waltz over the grandstand and
bleachers, but each one dissolved into
misty nothingness beside the errorless
playing of the Gaslighters. Not a sin
gle mistake did the cherubs of one Dud
Risley make during all the nine in
nings. Six times did the official scorer
seek the sickening column, crowned
with the danger light: Errors, and
chalk bad marks up against the celes-
tials. Two Of these went to Cole. the
center fielder. Full admission will be
made that the ground is bad, but Will

Ward and Archie Campbell, the two
young men charged with manslaughter
because of their having been firing re-
volvers when Anna. Jones was killed by
a stray shot, a week ago last Saturday
night. have returned to this city and
gave themselves up to the authorities.
Ward and Campbell succeeded in elud-
ing the officers for ten days. They said
they left here Immediately after the
shooting and went directly to Syracuse,
Kan. where they remained until they
made UP their minds to return home
and face the music. They said they
were sorry they had gone at all, and
that they would not have gone If II

and thought of nothing but getting

Thompson, the little Ottawa. fielder
was on the bench Friday. Saturday
and Sunday, because, as Manager AL
berts put it, he was went all to
pieces" He certainly picked up the
remnants in yesterdays game, and
dOve-tailed them together until you
could not have found the cracks with
a. microscope. Such a game as that
youngster put uD in the sun-garden,
has only been eQualled here by the
versatile Roy Bevis, and there is ques-
ton if the kid" did not have the
shade the better of even this crack ex-
Saint. Three times did he nail the
sphere anu each time the chance was
hard. One running catch for foul
deserves a bunch of blue ribbons and
a medal. AT the bat he found Root
for a nice single in the seventh.

MuNRoE MAKES FRIENDS.
Worked Hard and Waited Patiently
for Jeff to Get Well.

San Francisco, June 22.-The sport
ing public has a better opinion of
Jack Munroe now than ever before.
Jack has won hundreds of friends by
his manly stand in the match with
Jim Jeffries. Although he has been
disappointed three times since sign
ing articles on account of the date of
contest being changed, he has not lost
heart, and is as cheerful as ever. To-
day his training quarters were be-
sieged with sports anxious to get
look at him, and the crowd seemed
to be of the opinion that Munroe will
give Jeffries the fight of his life if they
ever get in the ring.
"Jeffries will have a time licking
that big fellow" said an old-time fol-
lower of the fighters, after looking
over the miner today. Il never saw
more promising looking fellow"
Some one suggested that Munroe's
lower limbs looked a bit too heavy
for a good fighter but after seeing
Jack move about for a few minutes
the man changed his opinion.

So far as hitting was concerned
honors were even, six being made by
each side. The honors from the
pitching box were also on the par.
Root did not twirl the horse-hide half
so nicely as he did when here two
weeks ago, but withal. it was plenty
nice enough to beat the Saints. But

about in regards to finding Carter.

DEATH CAME FROM KICK.
Little May Karl Passed Away as the
Result of Accident.

May Karl. the 10-year-old daughter
of f W. Karl, of Detroit, who was
kicked in the forehead by a mule last
week, died this morning at Il o'clock
from the effects of the injury.
She was swinging under a tree in
the yard, when her brothers led their
teams past the tree, and while none
saw the accident, it is believed that
she swung against one of the mules
causing it to kick. The edge of the
mules hoof struck a glancing blow,
broke her skull cut and parted the
flesh and left an opening that seemed
to be two inches deep. Seemingly
lifeless she was carried to the house
by her father, who at once telephoned
for doctors. A piece of her skull an
inch by two inches in size was re-
moved.-Abilene Reflector.

New York, June 22.=Billy Madden,
manager of Gus Rubin, the heavy
weight pugilist, said today Rubin was
ready to meet MunrOe in place of
Jeffries.
Now that Jeffries refuses to fight
on account of a sore knee" said Mad
den, "Ruhlin is ready to fight Nun
roe June 80, or any other day in the
near future. Jefries played the same
game on Rubin when they were
scheduled to fight in Cincinnati a
couple of years ago. It looks kind
of queer that Jeff springs that knee
story so often. Rubin has been
training at his home in Akron for
two months, and is in good con-
dition.''

there is a fence and where there is
no fence the company sets twenty

about one hundred miles all told. The
