DOING A MILE A MINUTE.
Serious Accident in an Auto Race at
Buffalo.

Buffalo, Aug. 19.-Webb Jay of
Cleveland was probably fatally injured
at KeniIworth park in the 10 mile au-
tomobile race. At the three-quarters
of the fourth mile jays machine
crashed through the fence, down an
embankment of fifteen feet and into a,
pond of water. What caused the ac-
cident is unknown. 1t is thought,
however, that Jay was blinded by dust
and steered into the fence. He was
driving about a mile minute when
the accident happened.
Jay was racing with Lyle and Bur-
man. At the three-quarters turn Jay
was third and the dust cloud of the
other two cars hung over him. Just at
the three-quarters the track had been
banked with dirt taken from an ex-
cavation which had left deep hole
just beyond the fence. Heavy rains
had transferred the hole into deep
pond.
Just as Jay rounded the turn his car
crashed through the fence. down the
10 foot embankment and into the wa
ter Jay. unconscious. would have
been drowned had not two spectators
sitting on the fence nearby gone to his
rescue and dragged him out. He was
taken to the German hospital, where
it was found that nine ribs were
broken, one of his lungs was pune
tured and his right femur was frac-
tured. Pneumonia and pleurisy, it is
believed, will set in within "a hours
and if he survives them he may live,
the surgeons say.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
Topeka People Know How
to Save 1t.

Many Topeka people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and ill-helath, but there is no need to
suffer nor to remain in danger when
ali diseases and aches and pains due
to weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use OF
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is the
statement OF a Topeka citizen who has
reclaimed good health by the use of
this remedy:
Mrs. NJ. Herring of 1914 North
Monroe street, Topeka, Kan, says:
1.-The statement Mr. Herring gave in
the summer OF 1899 relating his ex-
perience with Doan's Kidney Pills was
certainly true, and his opinion of this
remedy is as high today as ii was then
Doan's Kidney Pills brought him such
great relief from kidney trouble which
had caused him considerable suffer-
ing that have on numerous occasions
heard him speak emphaticaliy in their
praise It is safe to say that he is just
as strong an advocate Of Doan's Kid
ney Pills as ever"

MODEST MANAGER McGRAw.
Says He Now Has. the Best Team in
the Country.

New York, Aug. 19-"You may say
for me that the Giants will play any
American League team for the cham
pionship of the world this fall" said
John J. McGraw, manager of the New
York Baseball club. today, in answer to
the somewhat vague limitations by
american League partisans to the effect
that the Giants would not play the New
York Americans in case the latter club
captured the flag in that league.
And might add" continued the lit
tie manager, that I don't care how
close to home we have to play"
This remark is significant, for it
means that McGraw is just as willing
to have the Giants engage in series
with the Hfghlanders as with Phila-
delp11ia or Cleveland.
Il think have the best baseball team
in the world" added McGraw, land if
I am going to prove it certainly want
to beat the next best team"
McGraw's statement will be taken as
final by baseball men.

The fans who wanted a whole lot

yesterday. The fan who is not satisfied
with fifteen innings in one bunch
should take up progressive ping pong
and stay away from the ball park.
They played fifteen iRnings of good fast
ball, and would have played more had
the daylight lasted.
The game was not Womack VS.. Car
ter, but batters VS.. fielders. Both
pitchers delivered easy ones at times,
but the fielders Tapped up every thing
in sight The habit of spatting out
long ones to Cole proved disastrous to
\ number of Guthrie batters. and there
did not seem to be a spot inside the
fair lines where a ball could light.

three to a dozen put-outs tc his

NELSON TO START TRAINING.
Returns From Hills and Says Britt
Match Is just What He Likes.

San Francisco, Aug. 19.-Battling
Nelson. the sturdy lad from Chicago,
arrived in town yesterday afternoon
from his outing in the mountains look
ing as brown as a. berry and fit to fight
for a kingdom and feeling as happy as
a lark over the chance of meeting Jim
my Britt in the ring.
He went at once. to his training quar-
ters at Smiling Metzler's, over at
Larkspur.
Now I have got just what I have
been looking for. The best 1 had hoped
for was a 20-round fight and to have a
Aground go with the winner to take all
is much more than I dared believe in.
Now it is up to me and if I don't whip
Britt don't want any one to speak to
me. I would rather whip Britt than
any other man in the world and if I
do 1 can die happy and don't care if it's
20 minutes afterward.'

HAVING A SERIOUS TIME.
Date of Britt-Nelson Fight Interferes
With a Fete Day.

San Francisco, Aug. ia COM
mittee from the Order of Native Sons
of the Golden West today held a con-
ference with Mayor Schmidt and
James w. Cofeth, promoter of the
Britt-Nelson glove contest scheduled
to occur at Colma, near hear, on Sep
TENDER 8. This is the date of the adj
mission of California into the Union,
and is annually celebrated by the Ma
tive Sons and Daughters. The COM
mittee asked that the date of the fight
be changed and that it be held in this
city. Coffroth said he would agree to
this if he were granted a permit by
the city. The mayor did not object,
but said that the permit must be
granted by the supervisors, most of
whom are out of town. It was finally
decided to communicate with them by
wire and request their votes on the
proposition. In the meantime, the
date of the contest remains unchanged.
