NO RACING AT HOT SPRINGS
Prospects Not Good for Coming Win
ter and Game Is Therefore
Called Off.

Saratoga, Aug. 26.-"There will be no
racing at Hot Springs the coming win
ter"
This came in tones of authority to-
day from a man who knows the cOndi-
tions well and has a bit of a loOk-in
on the inside OF the matters which gov
ern Western racing. Certain happen
inEs of late make this statement some
what more than credible.
The visit OF G.. ). Bush to Saratoga
was not altogether a matter of pleas
ure. There were certain details to be
settled when the odd Man" and minor
official get together, and these We're ar
ranged without any trouble.
Definite action on the prospect of a
meeting at Hot Springs during the COM
ing winter season was taken less than
a week ago. The tradesmen of the
town wanted to know where they were
coming OFF, They had finally figured
oct that they would get of at Bad
Crossroads with another winters rae
ing here.
With all the money going out to the
track in the morning and nothing left
when the visitors get back, the Hot
Springs folk thought It did not look
good to them. Next time the racing
bill comes up it win be settled for good
and all.

LUCAS LEAGUE is HARD UP
Fans of the Northwest Fail to Sup
port Game and Angels Are Tired
of Putting Up Coin.

UndeniabIy. the Pacific Northwest
league is in financial straits. and I'M
less something happens shortly there
may be more trouble. The league is
not even drawing flies. Commenting
upon the situation, the BeIIfngham
Herald says:
There is no getting around the fact
that the league is in a bad way. The
receipts are light and the expenses are
heavy. AS a sample of the kind OF
business that is being done, the case
OF Everett at Spokane can be cited. IN
a recent series OF four games at the
Inland Empire city. Everett received
as her share of the total receipts only
S120. and it began to look as if the
boys would have TO hit the ties for
home.
"BelImg CHAINS case is not much bet
ter. The players have not been paid
for nearly three weeks and the pros
pect of their being paid. unless some
thing Is done. is not very bright
Because things are as they are. the
order has gone round that something
must be done, and done quickly. The
plan proposed by the Bellingham club
and favored by Lucas and the Everett
club, is TO cut the season OFF at Labor
day, draw down the $500 forfeit each
team has put up, pay all expenses and
call the season a success. BY this plan
IL is hoped to save the franchise and
get the league in shape for a success
full season next year. Otherwise, it
is feared that the league will be
wrecked -

There was a sound upon the stairs,
and our door was opened to admit as
fine a specimen of manhood as ever
passed through it. He was very tall
young man, golden-moustached, blue
eyed. with a skin which had been
burned by tropical suns, and a sprfngy
step, which showed that the huge
frame was as active as it was strong.
He closed the door behind and stood
with clenched hands and heaving
breast, choking down some overmas-
tering emotion.

and looked from one to the other OF

he struck his leg with his great sum
