NEW IRISH RUNNER.
Morphy of Dublin University Shows
 Fine Form in Championship.

Morphy of Dublin University Shows
 Fine Form in Championship.
 Ireland has produced another re- markable distance runner. and the newcomer has jumped into fame rath- CT suddenly. His name is G. N Nor phy, and he is a student of Dublin university. A couple of weeks ago he covered the half mile in l minute 56 2-5 seconds. which is the best time accomplished for the distance in the green isle. Walter Slade made the Irish record of l minute 5s12 seconds, as far back as 1876. The Trinity man is said to be something after the lines of Tommy Conneff and moves in the same faultless style. At the Irish 4. A. c. championships recently, he won the half mile and mile. the time for the latter being minutes g 1-5 sec onds, and as he was not extended in the shorter distance, he won in min utes. 2-5 seconds. At the same meet ing Denis Horgan, who is well known on this side of the water. accounted for the 16 pound shot championship. Following are the new Irish cham pions:
 1G0 yard run-Won by D. Murray, Dublin. Time. 10 2-5 seconds.

BALL PLAYERS FIGHT.

Arthur Deylin and Roger Bresna- han. the Giants third basemal and catcher respectively. came to blows during the ninth inning of yesterdays s game with Chicagos at the Polo grounds. and Devlin landed two hard swings on the face of his fellow-play- CT.
 Bresnahan did not get a chance to strike back. Mertes. Mathewson and other players rushed between the two men and forced Devlin tO a seat. Me Graw. who was near at hand. con- manded everybody to sit quietly. and few of the big crowd of fans watch ing the game knew that there had been any trouble.
 The TOW took place on the players bench while the Giants. who at that tine were hopeIessly beaten. were taking their last turn at the ba-. Both Devlin and Bresnahan had made sev- efal bad plays during the afternoon and were largely responsible for the loss of the game. For some time there has been bad blood between the pair. and after Chicago had been retired .n their half of the ninth inning the two New Workers were in a bad hurnor and quite in a condition to quarrel with anyone
 Brr-uahan is said to have blamed the defeat on to the third hzsenan. and Devlin in turn called attention to several passed balls charged te the catcher. AT any rate. before the other members of the team could interfere. Devlin suddenly swung for B-esns- han. catching him full in the face and then landed another. There's two that didn't ee- by aim anyway said Deviin. That's the only thing he's been able to stop today.
 In the clubhouse after the game the tue men were kept apart and con tented themselves with taking scrDss the biz dressing room.

COTTON MEMS VIEWS
New York, New Orleans ano
 Atlanta Heard From.
ASK PRESIDENT TO PROBE LEAK
Request For Full Invesfigation o1 Wrongdoing From Leading Ex. changes Further Graft
 FOresh allowed.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-A new and interesting phase of the cotton leak investigation has developed through the publication of the letter of Walter C. Hubbard, president of the New York Cotton exchange, addressed to President Roosevelt, in which the writer declared that the members of the exchange have been greatly shocked by the recent disclosures of venality in the department of agricul- ture" and requesting full investiga. ton of the methods which led 10 the corruption, with a view of preventing the possibility of recurrence.
 President 4. Brittin of the New Or. leans Cotton exchange has addressed the following letter to President Roose- welt:
 ''The recent exposure in the statis- tical bureau of agriculture; cotton de- partment, has developed a situation which in cotton trade circles for many months past has been so strongly sus- pected, from apparent indications, as to amount to positive conviction of wrongdoing And now that the ex- posture has been. publicly announced feeling of intense indignation pervades the trade interested in fair dealing by reason of the department having been used by clique of corrupt spectators to promote their individual and selfish ends. And it is desired that it should be known who have been the benef- ciaries, the corruptors and the corrupt cd as well.
 With this end in view. I am direct cd by the board of directors Of this ex- change to address you direct and in- yoke your good offices in having searching investigation carried on un- til the whole matter is probed 10 the core and the results given to the pub lie
 T beg to assure you our people here are already profoundly impressed and gratifed with your continued disap- proval and condemnation of impure methods in government affairs and your unyieldins disposition to dismiss from the service unfaithful agents and therefore anticipate your good efforts in responding 10 this appeal"
 A telegram from Atlanta says that President Harvie Jordan of the South ern Cotton association, after hearing the report of Secretary Richard Cheat ham with reference to the investiga- ton of the bureau of statistics. has authorized the following interview for publication:
 'The report of the investigation into the manipulation and leakage of the cotton bureau reports. as conducted by Secretary Cheatham during the past five weeks. has been entirely sat isfactory. The charges preferred by the association. have been fully sub stantiated, and the investigation of the bureau of statistics along other lines will be vigor pressed by the association. We will not be con- tent to Ter the matter drop where it Is. as we are satisfied that others be- sides Holmes should be relieved from further connection with the depart ment.
 President Roosevelt has already taken active steps in the matter. and still more important disclosures may be looked for in the near future"

JEFFRIES NOT A LOSER.

Ex-champion Jim Jeffries is back in Frisco from his trip to Reno. and is mingling with the crowd about the Pacific coast town.
 The big fellow says he had great time in the sagebrush state and laughs at the report that come from Reno saving that he was a S50,OO0 loser at the gaming table.
 T was only teasing" said Jehries. q had lot of fun going around to all the games in the town and doing a bit of piking while l kidded the dealers. As to my being big loser. that is all rot As a matter of fact. l think I might be hundred or so ahead of the game Anyway there is not more than a couple of hundred dollars difference either way.

FOOTBALL IN 14o6.
Game Was Hardly as Strenuous as That of To-Day-Played in Flor
 ence with 27 on Side.

Could the youths of Florence, who played football in that city nearly 50J years ago, rise from their graves. they would be mortified to see the clothes in which the game is played today. To quote from the rules of that date:
 ''The dresses of the players must be as light and convenient as possible, be- cause the less impeachment they offer the more easily the men can move and the more agile will be their limbs"
 When cahco was played in costume the players assembled al the house of one of the principal nobles Of the city, and the best men were carefully select ed The day was fixed and the notice of it posted. Then two of the best known and important young men would be selected as standard bearers. and on the appointed day each of these would invite all the men on his side to feast After this the players started for ths field. with the standard bearers and rr1mperers. '-''"-''~1 '~ "-" -'
 The rules of the game were rather complicated, but interesting. None bu; gentlemen and honored soldiers. or nobles. might take part; 10 artisan, servants, infamous or common persons were permitted.
 The general number of players was 2 on. each side. though the number might be more or less. The game was played in an open square. around which was a barrier or railing.
 When. at the sound of the trumpets, the game was ordered to begin, all servants and persons who had no right there were sent of the field and could not come inside the railing.
 At each end of the field there was a goal over which the ball was to be kicked. There were six judges, three for each side. chosen from men who had been famous players. who sat in a high place where they could overlook the field
 The 27 players were divided into l5 runners. who were placed in front; five "sconcistori." who tried to impede the runners; four half-backs and three backs.
 When the players had taken their places. the '-pallio. so called because he carried the palla. o. ball. dressed in a costume made of the colors of the two sides. threw the ball against a mar ble tablet on the wall. As 1t bounced back among the players the runners ran to push and kick it toward the goal
 The game was won by the side that made the greatest number of goals. Wherever a goal or fault vas made the sides exchanged places and the vic torious ones carried the banner and marched around the pavilion al the op- posite side. the conquered party being required to lower it's banner.
 The rules as to politeness and dignity were many and strict. and the old book of rules drawn up iu the sixteenth cen tury has a long chapter on the general conduct of players
 lt speaks in the highest praise of the young men who will not let envy. malice or any other passion" make them rough or inclined to retaliate fercely If they have been injured by mistake
 The game ended when the clock struck 2l. which in the old Italian reckoning was about surse N '. Herald.

BROKE THE SPELL,

Holyoke. July 13.-Up to them to break the hypnotic spell in whics Harry Long has hitherto held them. the Paper Weights yesterday made good. and by defeating New London. to 3. not only proved that all pitchers now look alike to them. but also made their record fourteen victories out of the last eighteen games played. Three times this season only has Holyoke fallen to the Whalers and each time Harry Long has been the cause Of its downfall. but yesterday the Paper Weights fooled him. and touched him in most irreverent manner. Nor did the presence of Charles Dutch Arm bruster. the S2.o1O catcher-markei down to sl.1J0 for cash-phease the youngsters in the slightest. and they purloined bases with the utmost aba .. don.
