Bravest of hearts beneath the shining
sun,
Thou servant Of the living God, well
done.
Jehovah's law within thee young was
writ
For fifty years thou hast been living
it.
Twas Moses first who caught thy lis
tening ear
And lighted thee with visions of
seer.
Then David sang his lyric soul to
thine
Aid rapt Isaiah his inspired line;
While Amos wrath enkindled wrath
in thee
For sin and every form of infamy.
Twas Job who chiefly taught thee
how to bear
The suffering sent of God and not
despair;
While Paul's great labors stirred thee
through and through
With that untiring zeal was thine to
do;
But more than all the Masters toll
and strife
We see both in thy labors and thy
life.
A battle plapner. thou bast planned {
war
'Gainst ignorance as prophet did o
yore; .....
A battle fighter thou hast conquered
sin
Unyielding hero trusting GOD within
\ high souled courage thine to do, t.

To die, and dying still to do, to dare
Thy will hath triumphed and tn,
crown is won,
Thou servant of the living God, vel

ahead inch by inch until his out
stretched neck was in front of the fly
ing dust and pounding hoofs of the
other racers. For a few seconds the
great crowd in the grand stand stood
motionless and silent, and then. by
sudden impulse, a mighty roar came
from the thousands of throats. It was
great race and the horse lovers knew
it. Typhoon came ahead like a we'll
regulated machine, and he passed under
the wire winner-a winner among
the greatest racers of the day.
This morning Typhoon, under the
homely name of key, given him by
hostlers, was taken from stall in
Doug Cace's livery barn in West Ohio
street and hitched to repair wagon
of telephone company. A few min
| utes later he was in the streets for q
| days work Of seven or eight hours.
| If capable of reasoning, Typhoon would
know that the Osler theory applies to
racehorses. His life and his finish are
the same that thousands of other splen-
| did racehorses have met with, and
| which thousands of other good racers
| will meet. However, Typhoon still has
| the lines of thorobred runner with
| the exception of the changes that came
with old age and hard work. He Is
| buck-kneed, but still good horse in
spite of his Ia or Is years of life.
"He is still full Of fire." Cass said.

Wrecked at time when Davis, star
outfelder, was crippled and when Kill:
roy, one Of the best pitchers, is sick
in bed.
Had these penalties fallen justly,
not man in Minneapolis would have
murmured. "Buck' Freeman lost his
head in the excitement of the play and
pushed the umpire. Had the president
of the league suspended or even fined
Buck no one would have said a
word-not even Freeman. The penal
ties were imposed upon players who
say they did not speak to Owens dur
ing the entire afternoon.
Back of the indignation looms the
thought in Minneapolis that O'Brien
is not Furnishing these men for Grow
,dyism' alone. There was no rowdy-
ism which he could punish. So many
things have come up, with this man
o 'Brien delivering himself of caustic
criticisms Of Kelley and his Mime
apolis players, that the public has come
to fear that he is acting thru malice
and not thru desire to stamp out
rowdyism. That is the iron in the
souls of Minneapolis fans. .
Another thing that rankles is the
refusal Of the president of the league
to come to the city to investigate the
trouble. His remaining away was
adding insult to injury. He made the
excuse that he feared legal action. He
was assured that if he would come he
would not be subjected to the service
of anything that would give the local
club management hold on him or ad-
vantage over him. The Minneapolis
club courted the fullest possible investi-
CATION Of the affair. It appears that
O'Brien was not brave enough to come
here and make it. ...:s
If Minneapolis fandom could feel
that O'Brien was imposing these pen
alties in an earnest endeavor to sup
press rowdyism he would have the
moral support Of all lovers of baseball
even tho it wrecked the team. They
cannot think so, however, and their an
ger against him is blazing higher every
hour. They accuse him Of dragging
politics into the play.
The fning Of Kelley and the "for-
feiture' Of the Thursday game is ludi-
crous. Minneapolis was on the field
and any time Owens had taken the
trouble to ask Kelley if Freeman and
Oyler were to play these men would
have been Withdrawn. Minneapolis
was in position on the diamond and
Columbus left the field. Columbus, in
so doing, was acting under an order
not to play unless Owens acted as um-
pire. The millers were caught "com-
ing and going" by the o 'Brien plan.
The whole affair will be put up to
the directors for Anal passing, as the
local club is not content to sit down
and permit O'Brien to ride over it
roughshod. There Is no final remedy
until the annual meeting Of the league,
when it is rather safe gamble that
the. O'Brien regime will 60 out Of ex-
listence-but not Of memory-with 8
slap bang Of unanimous consent.
, In the meantime the fans should
, smother their wrath. Batting umpires
:. will do no good. The team will be
) made to suffer for every outbreak if
} this deal goes thru. The present
} [method of administering league affairs
smells to heaven, but there appears tc
: be no remedy unless O'Brien sees fit
to resign. It Is hard work to smile
r over such nauseous dose, but there
appears to be no other way.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 21.-In the

lucky thorobred, with spirit and fire

Churchhill downs, near Louisville for
the greatest race Of his life. It was

tries were more Of the greatest horses

splendid physical condition to try for

Typhoon was bay Of medium size,
but there was that perfection in his
build that gave his owners confidence
that he would make good showing.
The animals long, slender body and
legs, with great punches of well-devel-

nostrils and his apparent eagerness to
get away, all went to show that Ty-
phoon would give the other thorobreds
a race.
The beautiful pack started as if re.

robreds swept, with the riders urging
