WILL DOUGLAS RUN AGAIN?
q Have Nothing to Say" Declares the
Governor When Questioned.

Boston, Aug 24.--'1s there a possibil-
ity, and even a probability, that Cover
nor William T.. Douglas will yet consent
to become the Democratic gubernatorial
standard bearer this fall, provided the
State convention renominates him?D
That is the question that had caused
Q futtering among the politicians Of
both parties yesterday forenoon. When
the story FIRST reached the ears Of the
political reporters. there seemed to be
some warrant for the statement that the
question could be safely answered affirm
atiyely. The strongest evidence of this
was what his excellency said to group
of newspapes men at the State House
late in the forenoon. At the close Of q
with them, one Of the
scribes asked him this categorical ques-
ton.
III the Democratic State convention
dominates you, viii you accept4"
Il have nothing to say" was the gov
ernor's decided answer. This reply. it
must be said was a trife enigmatical,
in view Of tie fact that the governor
had, but moment before, in answer
to corelative query, said Il stand
Just where I always have stood"

IN ACTIVE TRAINING.
Britt and Nelson Working Hard for the
Coming Bout.

San Francisco, August a. Training
for the Brit. Nelson bout has now begun
in earnest, and the arena at CoIma has
been started, so that everything points
to the fact that the bout will be held
where it was originally announced, at
Colma, and not in San Francisco. Both
pugilists are training out of doors in
order to accustom themselves to work
in the hot sun, and besides long runs,
which are undertaken to develop endur-
ance, do their bag punching and boxing
in the open air. Nelson is at Lark
spur, further from the beach than Britt,
whose training quarters are almost on
the edge of the ocean.
The Battling Dane is adding horse
back riding to the usual training routine
and took a long ride yesterday, Both
men are working hard to get down to
weight, and both seem in fine shape for
so early in their training work. 1t IS
probable that Jeffries may referee the
bout. 1t is said that both fighters are
satisfied that the undethroned champion
should take charge OF the bout and are
only waiting for the favorable decision
Of the promoters to have him chosen as
arbiter.

UMPIRE WAS EXHAUSTED.
So Game Between Burlington and Rut-
land Was Called.

Rutland, August 24.-Nervous ex-
haustion on the part of Umpire Me-
Guirk resulted in the calling Of tied
game between Burlington and Rutland
at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon
in the 10th inning and with the score
2 and ?.
For nine noisy innings the umpire
stood it, but the beginning Of the 10th
saw his finish and with shaking limbs
and uncertain voice he announced to
the grand stand that it was nobody's
game. On two or three occasions the
crowd from the bleaehers swarmed down
on the field and surrounded the um-
pire, whose rank decisions two OF three
times prevented Rutland from getting
the needed scores.
Persistent roofing and timely hitting
saved Rutland in the ninth from shut
out. The score.

Dorman, respectively.
Uniac isn't in shape, but his batting
helps out.
Not one Of the local outfeld had a
chance for a put out
There was never skip nor break
in Morey's pace.
When a bit is really needed Standard
is the man the fans ike to see come
to the bat.
plattsburg is the poorest drawing card
Of the season. The empty bleaehers
and the hollow grandstand looked like
winter.
Hays brother witnessed the game
from the grand stand and heard the
uncomplimentary things said about
Brother Tom.
With the sun in his eyes Burns drop
ped high foul, but the way he stood
up under Ladders vicious liner didn't
remind one Of Grant under very similar
conditions.
TN bet you dollar I'll make a hit
before the game is out" yelled Whit
ney's man Hays. Let's see how he did
The first time up he struck out; the
second time he went out, Dorman to

BATTED IN ONE INNING.

Cleveland, August 24-Boston took
Cleveland yesterday afternoon, by the
score of to 4, and the home team
captured the second, to 1. Young
pitched the first game for the Champions
and was touched up in lively fashion.
Hess was knocked out of the game in
the fifth inning,
Boston scored one in the first on
Selbach's pass, an error, wild pitch
and Parents double. In the fourth
Collins double Flick's error on Ferris
long hit and Criger's single brought in
two more scores, making it 3 to 0. The
fifth inning was the limit of Hess. Sell
bach started with double and was adj
vanced by Parents sacrifice. Burkett
singled, and Setback scored. Collins
raped a safe one to center and Stahls
fly dropped safe, Burkett scoring. The
bases were filled when Freeman got
pass, and Ferris brought in two men
with a double.
Larry Laioie made his appearance in
the game in the sixth inning, it being
his first game since July 6. He was
given a great sendof as he batted for
Hess, but the best he could do was
to give Collins chance for a force-out.
Rhoades finished in the box for the home
team, and Boston scored no more during
the game, while Cleveland seemed to
brace up. Two singles and an out gave
them a score in the sixth, and a pass,
thre singles and Parents tumble gave
them three more in the eighth.
The second game went to Cleveland
because Of superior batting. Each team
made an error apiece.
