Why Not a Special Class7

1t would seem, as an of-hand sug-
gestion, that q special class might be
established for such touring athletes IN
which they may compete and display
their prowess at amateur meets with
cut endangering the status of the pure
amateurs who may take part in the
same game. Those who love the sport
derive genuine pleasure from it, and
are afforded thoroughly innocent
amusement by seeing stars such as
Luffy and ShTubb, but. as has been said
before, they cannot now indulge them
selves that way because OF the bars OF
s-udteurisu. and which are TO be raised
higher
Sport cor sports sake is an axiom
that can be GyerWOTkcd IS well as any
other and this has all the earmarks
OF a case in point. An absolutely strict
Interpretation Of the rules would re-
duce all international competitions to
struggles between men of independent

CAN SHE BEAT SYSONBY?

SARATOGA. Aug. 17.-Over the train
track at Horse Haven yesterday, Artful
gave an exhibition in a trial that the
best hlly this country has ever seen, and
makes her a worthy foe TO the mighty
Sysonby.
The track she ran over is always deep
and was Ia bad shape from the recent
rains. Trainer Rogers brought her out
with the others of his string and first
sent some of the two-year-olds along.
Timber, whom he rates very highly,
covered six furlongs in LIZA. and this
Rogers thought was fast,
Went in I:I5.
When the watches were started on
ArtfuI it was expected she would take
about the same time. but when she was
through 1t was seen that she had run
the distance in lis. To say that this was
astonishing is putting it mildly, and the
horsemen looked a their watches a
second time TO make sure the figures
were correct. The filIy pulled up with
out the slightest sign Of distress. and
the verdict was that sne would go on
record as the greatest trial ever made
over this ground.
Had the filly been sent the mile there
is little question that she would have
covered the distance better than 1:40.
To show what this means one can go
back a few years. The summer that
Hermis was a three-year-old Charlie
Hughes brought him here and one morn
ing sent him over the Horse Haven
mile in :421a.

Change Is Needed.

This incident brings up the whole sub
ject of amateurism and impresses the
fact shat there should be some inter
mediate class or some modification Of
the rules which viii allow such masters
of a branch Of sport to be seen at the
ordinary amateur meets. Meets for
purely professional athletes are com
paratively rare in the United States,
and in this particular section of the
country they are seldom or never held.
For that reason persons hereabouts are
practically debarred from seeing famous
performers once they have been tainted
with professionalism.
While il is not intended to argue that
there should be any relaxation in the
enforcement of amateur rules, or that
those rules are not both useful and nee
csSary, The fact remains that as the
situation now stands good men are be-
ing forced out of athletics Recently
there has been a movement on foot for
q closer scrutiny of the credentials OF
foreign athletes in this country and
England. and the Shrubb case is prob
ably the first along that line
The result Will De that q large num-
Der of English and American athletes
viii have 10 stay at home, despite the
fact that there are thousands of enthu-
Slastic patrons of sport who are only
too anxious to see them.
The Washington times., 1905-08-17

Followers of athletics on the cinder
path in this country are greatly disap-
pointed at the action of the Southern
committee OF the British Amateur Ath-
Ietic Association in successfully pro-
testing against the visit of the re-
markable English middle-distance run
ner. Alfred Shrubb to this country.
The word remarkable" is used ad-
visedIy in discussing Shrubb, for he
is absolutely without a peer at the
middle distances. and some Of his times
have been really marvellous. His feat
of going two miles in 8 minutes and
S-5 seconds viii not be eQualed for
many a long day. He is TO the distance
events what Arthur Dufey Is 10 the
sprints, and when they travelled through
Australia together recently the Anti
podeans were treated TO a combination
such as never Travelled together before.
On this side of the water there has
been a great desire to see Shrubb, but
the protests of the purists will probably
be effective and he viii not be seen
over here

Celebrated Twenty fifth Anniversary

Celebrated Twenty fifth Anniversary.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. H. H. Show
erman was observed last night at ST.
Paurs church, where the marriage vow
was renewed in the presence of friends
and relatives. Rev. Andreas Bard Of
ceremony made short address, saying
in part:
s'To me this is a beautiful observ-
ance. We are prone to call upon our
friends in the hour of sorrow and trial,
but we neglect to gather about the
altar and return thanks to God on oc-
casions when manifestations of graft
tude are due. 1t is recorded that
Christ healed of their infirmities ten
VINO came to him for relief. One Of
the ten returned to thank him. Where
are the nine?'
twenty-five years of happy married
life; twenty-five years with no grave
over which to mourn-is it not, indeed,
appropriate to thus return thanks?'
The marriage ceremony was followed
by the baptism of Harry Gustave john
son, the year-old grandson of Mr.. and
Mrs. Slovenian.
Appropriate organ selections were
rendered by Mrs. William Stirling, or
ganist of st. Paurs church. A vocal
solo by Miss Letitia Green was an ap-
preciable feature of the program.
A reception was held at the resi-
dence, SAT East Alder street, at 9
o'clock. Although it was requested
that there be no presents, costly silver
souvenirs were presented by the Off
GERS of Alki Chapter, o. E. S., and by
DR.. and Mrs. E. w. Group, and floral
offerings by Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Cook
erly and others.
Mr. and Mrs. SLOVENIAN were mar
ried at New Buffalo, Mich, May Is,
1880, and have since been residents of
Wisconsin, South Dakota and Wash
ington.

BLIND BASEBALL OPENS,

LOUISVILLE, May 16.-The baseball
season at the Kentucky institution for
the blind will begin next Wednesday
after three weeks of preliminary prac-
tice. A series of games for the cham
pionship of the institution will be
played before the athletic contest with
the Y. M. c. A. team, which is sched-
uled for May Is.
John D. Gregory of the faculty, who
has had charge of the athletic training
among the blind boys, was responsible
for the Introduction of blind baseball
last year, and SO successful did the
sport prove that other institutions
throughout the country have adopted
the system ne compiled.
The pitcher belongs to the side at
bat, and he endeavors to throw the ball
SO that the batsman will strike it. The
batsman is required to hold out his bat.
indicating where he is going to strike.
The umpire then counts. "One, two,
three!" when the pitcher delivers the
ball. The batter strikes after three"
The pitcher the catcher and the GEN.
ter fielder are seeing" boys, though
none of the boys sees perfectly.
If the batter hits the ball the UNI
pire indicates with whistle signals now
far it has gone, one whistle for hit
within the diamond, two if past second
base, etc. If a fielder locates the ball
and raises it from the ground before
the runner reaches the base indicated
by the whistle the runner is called out.
There is, Of course, no throwing to
bases, and the entire team is practic-
ally dependent on the signals Of the
umpire.
Lase year the batting was heavy"
the team developing pitchers who were
highly successful in locating the bats

COULDN'T WAIT FOR PAROLE.
"Mac" Baked When Supreme Court
Increased His Sentence.

MARQUETTE, Mich, May 10
James McCauley, a trusty, has taken
French leace from Marquette prison,
and appears to have made good his
escape.
McCauley was a night fireman and
occupied the prison yard alone with
the night engineer. His absence was
discovered by the latter about half an
hour after his escape. He scaled the
wall, using a scantling to rig up
rough ladder.
The most peculiar fact about Nc
Cauley's escape, and one that makes
it really noteworthy, is the fact that
already the prisoner had served more
than the time for which ne was SEN
fenced. He was sent to prison from
Gogebio over a year ago for petty
offense. He had been drinking and
the Judge wanted to give him just a
year, which McCauley admitted would
be good thing for him.
He was one of the first men sentenc-
cd under the indeterminate sentence
law passed by the legislature Of 1903,
and was given a minimum sentence of
a year and a maximum sentence of
year and a day. McCauley's year was
I'D a few months ago, and he had been
looking forward to immediate dis
charge.
Just before thte year expired, now
ever, the supreme court handed down
a ruling on the indeterminate sentence
law to the effect that a trial judge was
not qualified to fix the maximum sem
tence. which the court neld should in
each case be the maximum sentence
fixed by the statute
Under this ruling McCauley's maxi
the plain intention of the judge was
that a year and a day was sufficient
penalty.
In the interval the prison authorities
have endeavored to square things for
McCauley by getting him a parole, AMI
he would have received this favor
shortly. 1t was thought the parole
would be along some weeks ago, but
there have been delays.
McCauley held his detention beyond
the term fixed by the trial judge much
at heart, and evidently had planned
his escape carefully.

"jACK" STEWARDS SAD END
NELSON, B.. c., PLUMBER DIED
DURING DRUNKEN SPREE
AT IDLE HOUR.
Came to WalIa WalIa Several Weeks
Ago-Coroner Decides No Inquest
Is Necessary.

"Jack" Steward, aged % and plum
Der by trade, died suddenly at 1 o'clock
this morning in the pool room adjoin-
ing the Idle Hour saloon, presumably
of alcoholic poison. Steward whose
home is at Nelson, B. c., has been in
Walla Walla for several weeks and for
the past week had been on protracted
spree. Yesterday he was drinking
heavily and during the day was in
several Main street saloons.
Last night he wandered into the Idle
Hour and asked for a drink, but he
was so drunk the barkeeper refused to
give him one. About midnight he
went into the pool room and lay down
on the floor where he was found by one
of the barkeepers. The mans heavy
breathing alarmed the barkeeper and
the drunken man was stretched out
on a bench and DR.. Cannon tele-
phoned for. Before the doctor could
arrive Steward was attacked with
commissions and died within a few
minutes. The body was removed to
the Smith & MacMartin undertaking
parlors but after investigating the
case Coroner Smith decided that no
inquest was necessary.
Elmer Winans, an employee of the
Sutherland company identified Stew
ard this morning. Mr.. Winans form
erly conducted plumbing shop at Nell
son, B. c., and Steward was employed
about the shop for some time. He was
finally discharged for drunkenness.
Stewards father and mother and
several brothers live in British Co
lumbia and Coroner Smith has tele
graphed them regarding the disposition
of the remains.

they will be passed at tonight's meet
ing, unless some flaws which were
overlooked during the former readings
are brought to light and the council
decides to take little further time to

With one or two exceptions the coun-
ell favors the passage of both orli-
nances granting franchises for street
railway systems to the Seattle men
and to Mr.. Anderson, although the uni
versal opinion is that the Maxwell &
Hanford franchises will never be used.
inasmuch as the Anderson interests
have announced their determination of
proceeding Immediately with the con-
struction of an electric line as soon as
a franchise is assured. Mr.. Anderson
is now at Spokane and is said to be ar
ranging for the shipment of a large
amount of street car material to Walla
