GREAT FoUR-MILE BUN.
John Joyce Defeats Irish Champion by
Half Yard.

John j. Joyce, fve-mile and ten-mile
champion of America. added to his laurels
yesterday at the annual sports Of the Cal
way Mems Association in Celtic Park. New
York, by defeating Thomas Hynes of the
Galway Harriers, Ireland, in their four mile
match race.
Hynes, who recently won the southern.
senior and cross-country championships OF
Ireland, made a commendable showing, and
after leading for the major portion of the
distance, was beaten but eighteen inches IN
PIN. IS. for the four miles.
Five thousand or more people witnessed
the event, which was held In conjunction
with a quintet Of handicaps and novice
races under A. A. U. rules.
It was nearly o'clock when the men
showed on the mark to do battle for the
side position. but the men had barely
Strengthened out UP the backstretch when
Joyce went to the front. He led up to
within few yards of the end OF the first
mile when Hynes dashed into the lead with
the time 5m. lbs.
Hynes then led up to about two and one
eighth miles, when Joyce again assumed
command and showed the way to about two
miles and three eighths. when Hynes again
went to the front. From that stage on the
Galway man made pace to within 120 yards
of the finish, where Joyce shot by, with a
seemingly unbeatable squirt.
When well into the stretch Hynes got up
on his toes. and sprinted In admirable
fashion. Striding as strongly as he would.
and with the crowd bearing In on all sides
he was eventually beaten by about half
yard. in 21m. S., with Joyce all out and
Hynes clutching at his shoulder to prevent
falling.

lumbia Golf Club were turned in yesterday
and the pairings for the two sixteens.
which are to continue match play until the
issue is decided Were made by Messrs. 8.
I. Cameron and T. Piney Moran of the
greens committee. Several cards were re-
1ected on account of technicality or other
mistakes This circumstance. In connection
with misunderstanding growing out of
the fact that many members of the club
confused the June tournament with a re-
quest by the green's committee for six cards
from aspirants for positions on the Column
bia second and third teams contributed to
reduce the Lumber of qualifications. Twen-
ty-1ve sets of cards were favorably passed
by the committee. with the result that only
nine players were left for the second SIX

HIS NECK BROKEN.
Badly Injured Man Conscious and Able
to Converse.

Henry Baden, colored. thirty-two years
old, with his neck broken. is patient at
the Emergency Hospital Despite the Sc
rious injury. he is fully conscious and able
to converse with those about him. How he
received the injury he does not know. but
the doctors and police are satisfied that he
fell from the window Of his apartment In
the Douglass fats, on 25th street. He was
found on the pavement in front of the flats
yesterday morning about $50 o'clock and
removed to the hospital. Baden said he had
been drinking Saturday night. and thinks
he must have fallen from the window. His
condition is critical.

again and will soon be back on first
Heyden is now leading the Nationals with
the stick, although he has played in but
few games. Jacks friends hope he will

Frank Shugart, who played with the
White Sox the first year of the American

Matty Mcintyre the crack left fielder
Of the Detroits. is bothered with paralysis
for the remainder of the season.
This should not be forgotten. Cleveland
has been very inconsistent team in the
past. Up to date things have broken well
for the NapOleons. Is the good luck to con-
tfnue through the season Is what many
people would like to know.
Jack Tanner. who succeeded Ed Mexican
as the manager Of the Colorado Springs
team. has signed contract whereby he is
his team in the first division in the next
thirty days.
When Magnate Comiskey drilled umpires
for disciplining his players the best he got
from President johnson was: Pull out of
the league. IL you don't like it." Respect
fully referred to President Pulliam as an
admirable reply to John T. Brush.
1t Is hardly right to penalize players by
giving them errors after taking chances to
get fly balls on the run instead Of playing
them safe. Both Stahl and Van Zant could
have taken the balls yesterday on the
bound. and no one would have kicked. They
tried for them on the fly and lost and the
Datsmen were given the benefit Of the doubt
and were given hits.-Boston Post.

The Owyhee Avalanche being the
first paper ever published in Owyhee
county, it is but meet that we should
start out by giving a brief sketch of
the early history of the county.
In the early days of California, when
gold was first discovered there the en-
terprising and industrious emigrants
could lie seen winding their way across
the plains, prepared to endure any
amount Of hardships or trials, and the
same might be said of those who start
&sd by water.
Arriving in California they found
everything new, strange and different
from anything they had ever seen be-
fore. Money was plenty, and no man
need go unemployed; but Of late years
the labormarket was overstocked, and

PASSING OF THE
OWYHEE AVALANCHE
l.. A. York. of the weiser World.
Tells Some of Its Ancient
History.

The Owyhee Avalanche, the third
Oldest paper in the state Of Idaho,
published for nearly forty years at
Silver City, is no more. Through
the political and industrial evolu-
tons Of that community, the law Of
"the survival of the fittest" has as
serted itself and the Avalanche has
fallen prey by purchase to its
rival, the Nugget. The new owner
has announced that the paper will
be discontinued, and that the ma
terial that gave the Avalanche its
being will be boxed and offered for
sale to the best bidder. The pass
ing of the Avalanche will be re-
ceived with regret by many Of the
older timers Of this state. To many
it will be very much like hearing
of the obsequies of lifelong friend.
That paper was established in Au-
gust, 1865 For years it was the
leading publication in the then
territory. 1t covered the field from
Susanville, California, to the camps
of Montana, and from Florence
diggings in central Idaho to the
booming mining towns Of interior
Nevada In the early '70's it was
run as daily, carrying full tele-
graphic reports, wires being strung
from Silver to the railroad town of
Winnemucca, Nevada. a distance
of 210 miles. Master minds were
at the helm III those olden days.
The Avalanche was a power in the
development in this entire isolated
section. Such men as the WATSON
Bros, the Butler Bros, sold" Hill,
Major Hays, John McConigle, Guy
Newcomb, Dave Adams and others
who were without peers in their
special lines, controlled its destin-
les during its haIycon period. The
camp "went down" in the latter
70's and the paper was obliged to
adapt itself to the existing condi-
tions. 1t was purchased in the
SOS by Hon. G. M. Hays, leading
attorney OF that place who con-
Quoted it as a side issue to his law
practice until 1890, when he leased
it and afterwards sold it to the
writer. We were with the paper
from March, 1890, until June,
1902, when we sold to a local stock
company which was DESTROYS Of Sc
curing an organ for political pur-
poses. The papers downfall, I'M
der the latter management, was
rapid, and now the Nugget (which
the writer assisted in establishing
in DeLamar in 1917 has gobbled
up its venerable antagonist in that
field. It is a source Of regret to us
that the new proprietor, Senator
Lamb, has decided to let the name
"Avalanche" die with the plant

ton "The Owyhee Nugget" Good

your course. Your mission is per

better fate.
