New York. Aug. 29.--An interest
in the National league race has been
lost as far as the outcome of the
struggle is concerned. The Giants
have practically won the pennant
and most ardent Pittsburgers admit
it. 1t was predicted early in the
spring that McGraw's boys would not
make a runaway of the race. Pitts
burg. Chicago. Philadelphia and
maybe Cincinnati were expected to
fight hard for the rag, but when it
came to a practical test there was
nothing but New York
OF all the opposing teams the Pr
rates have enjoyed the distinction of
beating the Giants as often as they
have been beaten by them. As the
series between the two teams now
stand. Pittsburg has won one more
game.
Early this week the story was cir
culated that several members of the
New York team were dissatisfied
with the financial arrangements
made by the national commission for
the division of the gate receipts and
it was even limited that the Giants
had resolved to refuse TO play the
champions of the American league
for the championship of the world
But McGraw positively denies all
such stories and declares that the
New Workers are but too anxious to
meet the flag winners of the rival
organization.
Barring accidents. the Giants may
already be considered as champions,
and it only remains to see which of
the American leaguers will have to
compete with them for money and
fame. The general belief Is that
Philadelphia Athletics will be the
fortunate ones but of course moth
ing definite can be said as yet.

The announcement of Miss Roose-

of the season, as it has made memoir
able the raising of the curtain. A
White House wedding opens up world
of conjecture, nothing being considered
as extravagant or unusual in fact or
fancy when the doings of a Presidents
daughter are in discussion, and the
marvels which will anticipate each de-
tail of the preparations will only stop
when mental ingenuity is exhausted.
The pros and cons of the wedding dress
have already gone through wonderful
ups and downs, one authority saying
it is to be of Chinese silk, the gift of
the empress dowager, and another that

AFFECTIONS OF PROFESSOR
RECEIVE SEVERE SHOCK
Maiden He Was to Wed i'm Japan
Loses Heart to Another While
EnrOute

BERKELEY, Feb. Friends of
Miss Ollie White and Professor Carey
Richard Colburn, formerly of the Uni
yersity of California, learned with sur
prise to-day that Miss White, who left
for the Orient a month ago to wed
Professor Colburn in Japan, lost her
heart to a passenger on the steamer
e,i route. and married him, instead of
the professor almost Immediately aft
er her arrival in Japan.
Miss White graduated from the Uni
yersity of California last year and un-
til a month ago was school teacher
in Petaluma. She had known Profess
sor Colburn when he was a reader at
the university. He obtained a pro-
fessorship in the Japanese commercial
college in Toxic and sent for Miss
White. She became acquainted on
the way to Japan with "a passenger
who pleased her, and when she was
met in Japan by the waiting fiance,
announced to him that her heart was
anothers'-she could not marry him.
Professor Colburn is said to have
taken the blow philosophically, and
to have been one, of the guests at the
wedding of his former fiancee. He has
written of the affair, without, how
ever, mentioning the name of his sue
cessful rival.
