championship on Wednesday by Okla

trounce. Leavenworth to a shut-out
tune, and that of course helped mat
tiers along materially.
Tom Hughes, he Of the National
league aspirations, got the beating Of
his life here yesterday. Just eighteen
safe ones, six of them two-baggers,
were made of his slants. The way
those Nets fractured the ozone and
knocked the dust out of the horizon
was little short of frightful. Fourteen
of them rode across the plate on this
terrific bombardment.
At no time of the farce was Topeka
in the running. Henry and Murray
managed to scrape up a brace of hits
apiece on Woods, and Cole, Abbott
and Brown got singles. But out of
this but two runs were garnered. One
good thing can be said about the
game, only one error was made on
each side.
Granger Woods was very effec-
tive. He had the White Legs in
leash all the way.

A WONDERFUL PLAYER.
Young Clay Is a second Stone, and
Many Want Him.

Louisville, Aug. 24.-Frederick
Clay, the Colonies hard hitting fielder,
Tri-State league recruit, probably
is the most promising one of the lot.
FROM an obscure position in the out
laws to the top of the batting list of
the American association in half
season is the surprising record of
young Clay, called Henry" by the
fans: Clay is hitting close to the 400
mark. and those who have watched
his work say he is another Stone. He
bats left-handed and has Stones
crouching position.
Several of the big league clubs are
after the lad. Manager Robson of the
Cardinals early put in a bid for him.
Griffith and McGraw have both offered
$4,000 for CIay's release. His fielding
is fast, his base running superb and
his hitting sensational, according to
critics, who declare he is the greatest
natural hitter who has been uncovered
since Wagner, Lajoie and Keeler held
the boards.
Tebeau.- who has developed some
great players in his day, says that
Clay is the most remarkable young
ster he ever saw
The fact that the Cardinals are
dickering for Clay makes the item
interesting, as the Messrs. Robson
and Tebeau have dealt in players for
years. Clay is % years old. He be-
gan his baseball career in Baltimore.
By trade he is an iron molder. He is
a German by birth and the mother
tongue still clings to ms accent. At
present he weighs 175 pounds. He is
very quick of eye and fast of foot.
He played professional ball in the
Virginia State league as catcher,
playing against Mathewson. In 1902
Clay had a tryout with Philadelphia,
and despite the fact that he got four
hits in two games, was sent back to
the minors on account of his green
ness He then Joined the outlaws
and was there when Tebeau called
him west.
In a double header with st. Paul
last Sunday Clay made his one hum
bred and fourth hit. He has played in
sixty-four games in the American as
sociation and heads all of the big bat
tiers in the league.

Harry Payne Whitey's entry, the sec

length. Kenilworth, played down to 6
to in the fifth race. ran away just as
she neared the post. Dugan failed to
get her under control until five fur
longs had been run. Van Ness won,
with some thing to spare. Tyron, the
favorite in the sixth race, never got
away from the post. Just as the bar
rier went UP he swerved and pullman

Washington, Aug. 24.--F.. A. Peckham,

the first that has become known in con-
nection with the sensational developments
growing out of the charges against the in
tegrity of the government cotton statis-
tics. 1t is understood that this arrest was
made on a bench warrant issued by Chief
Justice Clabaugh of the supreme court OF
the District of Columbia for alleged con-
spiracy to defraud the government in con-
nectton with the cotton crop report of the
department of agriculture. The fact of

before the grand jury here. Secretary Will
son reported that L. c. Van Ripper of New
York, said that Haas acted as a GO be-
tween in conveying information from
Holmes, the dismissed associate statisti-
clan, to other New York brokers. Cores
spondence between Holmes and the bro-
kers, found by the secret service agents,
contained the initial P., which is said
to be the way in which Holmes referred
to Peckham. According to the report of
SECRETARY Wilson on the investigation he
made, Holmes admitted that he and Peck
ham had close relations, were at one time
associated in a business venture in which
Holmes was to have an interest equal
to the. sum of 81, coo, which he was to re-
ceive as gift from the other members
of the firm"
Secretary Wilson said that Mr.. Holmes
admitted that when he had occasion to
visit New York he frequently found that
his hotel bills were paid by Peckham or
Van Ripper. Secretary Wilson's report
charged Holmes with communicating adj
vance informa ton to Van Ripper and
Moses Haas of New York.

WARD AND WRIGHT WIN.
Fast Tennis Matches Being Played at
Newport.

Newport. r. L, Aug. 24.-Without
exception Holeombe Ward of New
York and Beals c. Wright of Boston
successfully defended the national
championship in doubles on the Casino
courts by defeating f. B. Alexander
and H. H. Hackett, both of New York,
in straight sets, 6-2s 6-1y 6-3. e-
The doubles championship match
was the event of the day, but in addi-
ton, the entire second round in the
singles championship event was COM
pleted, making, with the double
matches, severty-five tennis contests
Wright should score such a decisive
win over a pair that only yesterday
showed themselves cool, steady and
reSourceful came as a surprise to the
experts. while the erratic work of
Alexander was great disappointment
The feature of the contest was the
dashing play of Wright. He was all
over the court, and at times encroach-
ed upon his partners territory.
Alexander and Hackett won the ser
vice and took the first game. The
games alternated until they were two
all when, after deuce game, Ward
and Wright took the fifth. They then
ran out the set with ease The second
only the sixth game. In the third set
Alexander and Hackett rallied, and
through Wards error and a let up by
Wright in his service were able to
make the game three all. AFTER that
the challengers scored but seven
points. as Ward and Wright ran the
set and won for the second time the
championship of the United States
All the picked men, with the excep-
ton of Alexander, came through the
second round without a reversal OF
form. Late in the afternoon Alexan-
der began his match with c. Watson
Jr., but after each had taken a SET
Alexander was taken sick and, to the

ment.

of Leavenworth thinks that the Miners
may still do some going. When asked
what he thought about the Leaven-
worth series just ended. Captain Arm
strong. of the Old Soldiers, had this to
say: IT fully expected to take three
out of the four games here this time but
Joplin has just simply been playing
too good for u.s.. You can't expect
team to win when they are naturally
outplayed all around. Joplin always
has given US our hardest games and
there will be something doing if they
keep UP at the pace they are going"
An explanation from the Joplin Globe
why "Dollie" Gray is again with the
Miners: "Dollie" Gray don't belong to
the regulars-he's just volunteer He's
helping out the Miners now while Baer-
wald and Vanderbilt are on the bench
with injuries, and that's how he hap
pened to be with Leavenworth a while
back-subbing for cripples. Vanderbilt
promises to be in the game again soon,
but Baerwalds turned ankle may not
get well so readily, and Gray may be
needed by Joplin the rest of the season.

Cleveland, Aug. 24.-"I will never
participate in a race again where the
drivers start side by side" said Bar
ney Oldf1eld today. There is no de-
mand for the adjustment of track
racing. The demand is for the elimi-
nation of the elements of danger.
This can be done by the adoption of a
rule by the A. A. A. requiring drivers
in match events to start from oppo-
site sides of the track AS every Sc
rious accident has been due to the
clouds of dust on the track, such a
rule would remove all danger of a
repetition of the smash-ups that have
invited so much attention to this phase
