Those loyal fans who refuse to
be discouraged by one off day of ball
playing were awarded yesterday with
one of the best and fastest games
of the season. played between Butte
and Spokane. The home team won.
to 1. and 1t was snappy ball all
the way through.
Hogg and Bowling bore the brunt
of the conflict from the beginning,
but Pete was wilder than Willie and
his passes to first had much to do
with the result. In the fifth and
sixth innings Bowling allowed the
hits to bunch and Spokane scored
twice in each Of these two innings.
Hogg retired the Miners inning
after inning with goose-egg and
allowed only nine hits during the
game. 1t was not until the last in
ming that Elsey got across the plate
with the lone run for the visitors.
During the game the bleachers
caught fire through a cigarette be-
ing thrown on some burning paper,
but the flames were extinguished by

At sumner resort in the Adiron-
dacks, "Pittsburg Phil" plunger, is
striving to regain his health.
Years ago Geo. +. Smith was en-
ployed as a cork cutter in Pittsburg at
$40 week.
He loves horses. He read the
dope He studied to win. Fortune
smiled and frowned, and he won and
lost thousands.
"Pittsburg Phil" none other than
this self-same Geo. Smith, will prob
ably quit life little richer than when
he began.
If his life has meant nothing more to
his fellow man than to point a moral
to young turf followers, he has not
lived in vain.
But it has meant more. Generous to
a fault, loyal to employer, honest,
or rather square" in the par1ance of
the turf, Geo. Smith bound his friends
to him with "hoops of steel"
Smith was ambitious to rise above
the level of the gambler. He wanted
to hear men say that he was making
his money with his brains; that luck
was not responsible for the fortunes
which he accumulated.
He wanted to invest his winnings in
laudable enterprises and place himself
upon firm financial basis, but there
was that constant gamblers instinct.
Suppressed emotion say the phys
icians. This they claim wrecked his
health. To all who knew him and
watched his enormous wagers, he was
seldom known to express any concern
about the result of race.
He could win 10000 and walk away
as though it was one of the merest tri ..
ffcs of an uninteresting day at the
track. He could lose the same sum or
more and never vince.
As soon as the wager was made, he
would level his glasses on the horses to
watch every movement until they came
under the wire. Whether he won or
lost, he invariably turned aside as
though he had nothing at stake.
This is perhaps one of the reasons
that some of his operations were ex.
aggerated and some of his winnings
underestimate. He cultivated this
stoicism and now pays the penalty.
His early bets were small. of course

the STRANGE CAREER

Pittsburg he could not bet as he liked.
But every bet that he made was laid
only after careful study. He frequent
ed the pool rooms about town and be.
come so successful that he was barred
from many of them.
His plunging began later in these
self-same pool-rooms. His judgment
was keener than any of the gam
blers and he was soon well known
character.
One of his big cleanings was made
on Pervenu, and this famous coup
of $4,000 marked an epoch OF his
life In the pool rooms he soon became
known as "Pittsburg PHIL and the
sobriquet stuck to him.
One of the most prominent animals
raced by Smith was King Cadmus. just
how many fortunes the owner won ON
this horse will probably never be
known. For "Pittsburg PhiP' this
horse made an American turf record
by winning IA consecutive races.
Smiths enemies, the pencilers, Of
course, thought that each victory would
be the last, and rather liberal odds
were offered. 1t is doubtful If during
this string of victories the horse went
to the post an odds-on choice. Smith
would never admit that the horse could
be beaten.
Finally, when the horse was nosed
ont IL his 18th race, the king of plung-
ers sighed with relief. 1t was a long
struggle with his enemies. He had won
and the battle was ended.
Grand Opera was another of his Sc
lections. Clarence Mackey paid &c.
900 for this horse. Smith did not care
to own large string. All he wanted
was few good ones to place against
the eastern millionaire's favorites.
A tireless worker, Smith mastered all
the ms and outs of the racing game.
Increased wealth brought him increased
opportunities.
Often when returning from the track
he would sigh as he would pass labor
ing man, expressing the sentiment that
he was more cOntented with his honest
returns from his toll. though small,
than he with his thousands won on the.
track during the day.
Although he is not completely
''broke," Smiths wealth is but the
ghost of what he once possessed.
