pretty near his limit. No performer on
the field has a better chance to make
sensational plays, to do brilliant and
effective work, and to keep eternally
solid with the bleachers, than these
gentlemen who cavort between second
base and third cushion None of the
shortstops now playing ball have any
thing on the one man who was 1t, as
far as shortstop doings are concerned.
Hughey Jennings was the local short
stop, the past master of the position.
Great in every way was the former
star of Baltimore, and it is hardly like
ly that the game will ever develop his
superior. The shortstops of to-day are
all right and crackerjacks, but will the
diamond ever have anything better
than Williamson, Ward, Glasscock,
Jennings and Herman Long? At Bos-
ton the Nationals had fair shortstop
and hardworKer, Abbatichio, while the
Americans had Parent, a great batter
and one of the fastest, eleverest little
men who ever chased the grounders.
Chicago was well equipped in the short
stop line. Joe Tinker of the National
league team fielded finely, but had an
off year in batting. The veteran George
Davis, of Comiskey's tribe, covered an
immense area of ground. hit fairly well

and Dahlen, always star, shone as
brightly as ever with McGraw. At
Philadelphia Hulswitt played fast and
cleverly, while Monte Cross, always a
fine fielder, was very weak with the
stick. The st. Louis Americans had
one of the finest shortstops now in the
business, every point considered-Bob-
by Wallace. Shay and Brain divided
the work for the Nationals and neither
set the world afire, though both played
excellently at times. Babb worked
hard and well for Brooklyn. Tom Cor

JUST LIKE PRISON ROUTINE.
Boastful Traveller Brought to a Pause
by Very Embarrassing
Question.

The scene was a third-class smoking
compartment, five on a side The speaker
was stout, ford, with shortcut gray hair,
and was very self-satisfied. The effcm-
mate degeneracy of modern young men
was his theme, relates London Tit-Bits.

my four miles an hour! Why? because

likes to fight. Thus far he has given
and taken more blows for fun than for
money. He is smiling, good-natured
lad, but is always ready for battle at
moments notice. Britt was born in
1880 in San Francisco in a district To-
cally known as South of the Slot"
He is five feet six inches tall, with big
shoulders and chest, 15-inch neck
and the body of a welter-weight His
hands and feet are small. He has blue
eyes that are mild in repose, but blaze
like searchlights during battle. Jimmy
began to box by stealth, because his
brother Bill was already amateur
feather-weight champion of the coast,
and Papa Britt was disgruntled. But
James quietly entered the tournament
while he was still pupil at the high
school. He beat four men in one night
and won the title his brother had held.
1t was wonderful to see the calm self
confidence of Jimmy. He sneered at
his opponents from his corner, dashed
at them, Dashed them, overwhelming
them and stalked away, still sneering.
Fighting became second nature with
ZIG pOy. WuGu lie graduated from the
high school he entered his fathers Of
flee, where he was put in charge of
contracts and developed into a good
business man. But during the even
ings he roamed about town, not exactly
looking for fight but ready to hand
1t to anyone who was looking. When
Jimmy Britt turned professional three
years ago he beat Toby Irwin in Is
rounds. Then he knocked out Kid La
vigne in seven rounds, beating him so
badly that Lavigne had to be treated
in an insane asylum for two months.
He knocked out Tim Haggerty, of Aus
tralia, in eight rounds and the re.
nowned Frank Erne in six rounds. His
victory over Young Corbett in 20
rounds stamped him as great fighter,
especially when it became known that
he broke his right hand on Corbett's
head in the eighth round.

Conway, June c4.-Another
tragedy has occurred to stain the
fair fame Of Horny county, sick
ening and revolving in its detaiz.
Yesterday morningI Rev. Har-
mon ID. Granger, Baptist min
lister, who lived on his farm near
Baydoro, was shot dead in his
field about 8 o'clock in the fore
noon. The crime was perpelra-
ted by an assassin who had hid
den himself in the woods adjoin-
ing the field and who fired both
barrels o, his shot gnn, each load
ed with full load of buckshot,
for 81 shots were found in the
body. Mr. Gainger was the psa-
tor of several country churches,
and it is said that no man in this
country had preached more fun
erals or married more couples.
He was known and loved not on
ly in his immediate neighborhood
and community, but throughout
the length and breadth of the
whole county. His family con-
sisted of his wife and four chill
dren, some Of whom were work.

the dastardly crime was done.
Feared to Approach Scene.
When the sh ootipg occurred the
other members of the familywere
so badly frightened that thew
did not 60 at once to the pros
trate body, but raised such an
outcry for help that neighbors
soon came. The body fell at the
first shot, and death must have
been instantaneous, for the shot
ranged from the waist to the head
piercing very vital organ-liv-
er, spleen, kidneys, lungs, spinal
column and brain. The mule he
was plowiug stopped, and the
chin of the falling body caught
on the cross bar between the
plow handles. The body was
not touched or moved until the
arrival Of the coroner. The
friends OF the family had erected

and so forth. The direction from
which the shooting was done was
determined first by probing the
wounds, and was afterward con-
firmed by finding the waddinp
from the gun in nearby bushes.
AT first. no suspicion was en-
tertained of any one in the COM
munity, for it was not thought
that Mr.. Granger had an enemy
but first one little circumstance
and anoher combined to cast
suspicion upon near neighbor,
