Must Not Disturh Pocnhontn..

The bones of Columbus have crossed the sea more than once to gratify Spanish pride, but Englishmen, even for the sake of pleasing some Ameri- cans. will be slow to surrender the re- mains of Pocahontas, the promoters of the Jamestown Exhibition suggest, says The London Chronicle. The Indian chiettain's daughter saved the life of Captain John Smith, the pioneer of the colony of Virginia, who had been cap tured by her tribe. She afterwards married and came to England, where she died and was buried in 1613 Her grave recalls not only true romance, but a stirring episode in our colonial history, and it must not be disturbed, even to swell the pro1its of a Virginia exhibition

Baseball English.
Kansaa City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
 The baseball writer writes for those who understand his linguistic vagaries and revel in the seeming confusion of his complex phraseology. He is the journalistic free lance, who denies the right of precedent and rides rough shod over the stickler for literary tin- ish. He knows his readers and they know him. When he says Tinker led off for the Cubs and ozoned,' every legitimate, thirty-th third degree far" grasps immediately the graphic picture thus painted. Let the baseball writer alone. In his very frenzied philology he contributes a vivid and refreshing contrast to the monotonous news pages and the wearying precision of the nice. round editorial sentences. And we who also write for living must con- fess to a sneaking admiration for his boldness, his originality and the easy familiarity of his style.

TROTT|NC MEET

Mayor Johnson of Cleveland
Prevents Gambling and
Races Are Declared Off
BIG SURPRISE SPRUNG
Harness Horses Scatter to
Various Cities and the
Outlook Is Very Dubious

CLEVELAND. July S1.-The Grand Cir
suit races, which were to have started
here to-day, were declared or after the
proclamation of Mayor Tom L. Johnson
that pool selling would not be permitted.
This announcement. coming at the last
moment, created CONSERVATION among
horsemen and the members OF the Cleve-
land Driving Park Association. At tho
meeting of the Grand Circuit here last
year pool selling was prevented by the
authorities at Glenville with a resulting
great loss to the Driving Park Associa-
tion. When Glenville was annexed to
the city it was hoped pool selling would
be permitted. although no announcement
to that effect could be obtained from
Mayor Johnson.
Early to-day Chief Koehler OF the local
Police Department, acting under direc-
ton of Mayor Johnson, called upon
Secretary Dietrich of the Driving Park
Association and informed him that pool
selling would not be permitted. meet
ing Of the officers of the association was
Immediately called and II was decided to
finish the NJ. and NJ. consolation race,
which was unfinished at Detroit. and
then abandon the meeting. This was
done and all gate admission fees were
refunded, together with the entrance fees
of horsemen.
1t was at first intended to transfer the
races to Buffalo, but telegraph inquiry
revealed the fact that Buffalo would not
permit the transfer because OF inter
ference with the regular race week there.
The horsemen therefore have scattered
some Of them going to Buffalo and else
where, and some OF them remaining at
Gfenville to work out.
The third heat Of the unfinished NJ. and
NJ consolation purse (2:24 troD unfinished
at Detroit, was won by Miss Inlaw. Time,
2:11A. Getaway second, Emile Letcher

Inquiry among the directors Of the
Driving Park Association seems TO indi-
cate a general attention Of abandoning
the GIenville track
At to-day's meet all the entrances were
guarded by policemen and inside tho
grounds Chief of Police koehler per-
sonaIly had charge of a detail of police,
all of whom had strict orders to prevent
pool selling and gambling.

COMING FIGHT
HAS OPEN LOOK
Rufe Turner's Friends Think
Jimmy Gardner's Admirers
Should Grant Them Odds
LOWELL BOXER HEAVIER
Big Crowd of Stockton Men
VIII Be at the Ringside
at Colma on Friday Night

Messrs. Grohman and Mustro OF Stock
ton do not seem to take kindly to the gen.
eral idea that Rufe Turner will be the
favorite in the betting in his match with
Jimmy Gardner. They are the managers
OF the black whirlwind, and while they
have unbounded faith in the ability of
their man to take home the long end of
the purse. they still have an idea they
should get odds for their money when it
comes down to the betting.
A letter received from Grohman yes
terday by friend in this city says that
at least 800 Stockton sports will be on
the special train that leaves there Fri
day afternoon. He thinks that they will
want odds of 10 to. against the black
boy when 1t comes to betting. He argues
that Gardner will be pounds heavier
than Turner when they step into the
ring and that this fact should make the
white boy the favorite. This all goes to
show that from a betting standpoint the
match which takes place at Colma on
Friday night will be the biggest thing Of
the kind seen here in many months
Most of the matches that have been
seen here have found one man a top
heavy favorite. The coming fight is a
match between two men so close together
that 1t seems hard to pick favorite.
Both sides are asking for a shade of odds
for their money, but the chances are that
when the pools are sold 1t will be even
money and take your pick.
Gardner is training hard over at Lark
spur and says he will be at the required
notch Of weight on Friday afternoon and
in as good condition as he ever was in his
life He has been under something Of
handicap on the weight question on ac-
count Of the cool weather, but says that
hard work on the road and In the gym
nasium will bring him down all right.

tory for the home players by sixty-one

innings.
The Englishnen made 244 runs In
their first inning and were all out In
their second turn at bat for Isl. or
grand total of 395. The small score
made by the visitors in their second
inning was principally due to the dead
ly bowling Of ]. A. Lester, who took
seven of the ten wickets. This is the
first. match the English cricketerS have
lost in this city, they having won the
first match from the Gentlemen OF
Philadelphia and drawn with the team

Give. Reason. for Issuing Writ.

The Supreme Court yesterday set
forth in a written opinion it's reasons
for issuing a peremptory writ of man
date last May directing the City Clerk
of Stockton to place the names of the
Republican, and the Democratic candi-
dates on the official ballot Clerk
Wheatly refused to take the action de-
manded on the ground that thirty days
had not elapsed between the filing of
the petitions for primary elections and
the primary election itself. The court
holds that the irregularity was more
of form than of substance" and that
the City Council, by subsequent action,
s5ecfified the error in a legal manner.
Theowrit was granted two days before
the municipal election, but the court
lacked time to prepare it's formal opin-
ion until yesterday.
