HARRY THAw's PARTISAN LIFE.
His Associates Thought Him Rather
Low Order Of Intellect

Special C1baegram to The Star.
PARIS. July 23.-The French newspapers
are printing many stories of the movements
of Mr. Harry Thaw during his visits to
France, some of which are probably true,
others Of which are unqusstionabiy false.
Many OF these clues are being sifted out by
the representatives of the Thaw family.
others are being inquired into by represent
atiyes of the district attorney OF New York
county. One OF his acquaintance who has
been authorized to make special Inquiries
concerning. his career In France says that
he spent his winters In the Riviera, at Nice,
Monte Carlo and San Reno in turn. A
member OF the American colony, who was
on very intimat terms with Mr.. Thaw.
has given the following particulars about
him. The possessor of an enormous for
tune. he was able. during his sojourns in
Paris. to entertain frequently and on q Law
biiittes among the foreign residents being
invited to these parties. One evening he
dIned in company with La Belle Otero. Cleo
de Merode and Diane de Pougy. and this
was the diner des trois beauties" 1t was
known at the time among these actresses
that Mr.. Thaw had queer temper. The
least thing put him out. as he was ex-
tremely touchy. Some excuse for these
outbursts was to be found In the fact that
his intellect was by no means brilliant.
This was remarked and deplored by men
who went about q good deal with him. and
had a feeling that some accident or drama
due to the mental inferiority from which
they knew him to be suffering would occur
in his life. Their fears have been justified
by the recent tragedy. An Interesting and
hitherto unpublished detail In conclusion.
After his marriage, Mr.. Thaw broke on all
relations with his friends here, and, in
deed never returned to France.

SERAPHS TOOPEN
AT CHUTES TODAY
LOS ANGELES TEAM is MUCH
WEAKENED
Since Earthquake Angel Stock Has
Taken a Slump, While Portland
Continues to Lead All In
Race for Pennant

Unless a few more car wrecks occur
before O'Clock this afternoon to wreak
havoc with the remainder of Seraphic
baseball players the Angel team will
open series with Fresno, game to
be called at o'clock.
The injury to Capt. Dillon at Oak
land yesterday was the elimination of
long list of mishaps which have fig
ured in the unpennantlike play Of the
SeraphS since the earthquake The
loss of several men who figured among
the strongest Seraph performers has
resulted in a slump that will make
first place very hard proposition for
the former champions to solve.
Portland appears to be an easy win
ner at this stage, the team being strong
at every point and swatting the ball
like big leaguers. The Mud Hens
might be blessed with a stronger pitch
ing staff, but there is small need in
view of the terrible clip at which the
leaders are connecting with The ball
Individually Mercedes giants do
not loom as shining lights but a
tendency to play as one man is re-
sponSible for the present support
which is being rendered to Mud Hen
twirlers. At any moment the north
erners are liable to come through with
batting rally sufficiently strong to
break up the game.
Los Angeles must win every contest
of the coming series if local hopes are
to be raised pennantward to any de-
gree. The home team is bad third
and unless Portland takes a decided
slump during winning streak of the
Seraphs there will be no joy in Angel
vile when title time comes round
Under ordinary conditions the pres
ent standing of the Seraphs might
justly afford dissatisfaction on the
part of local fans, but considering the
circumstances, there can be no fault
finding. The season must go to a close,
and although they have been stripped
of players who had much to do with
securing the bunting in former sea-
sons, the depleted Seraphs have put
up a gallant battle and should receive
rousing reception when they trot out
this afternoon

SPOKANE WINS
AT MARBLEHEAD
YACHT CAPTURES FIRST TRIAL
RACE FOR ROOSEVELT CUP
Craft Owned by Vice Commander F.

Club Proves Fast Sailing
Vessel
BY Associated Press.

6y Associated PreSS.
MARBLEHEAD. Mass, Aug. 49,
The Spokane, a dark horse owned by
Vice Commodore F. Lewis Clark of the
Eastern Yacht club, won the first of
the trial races for the defense of the
Roosevelt cup today.
Hayseed III, owned by H. l.. Bowdin,
finished second, and Windrim Kid, F.
G. McCumber, owner, was third. Prac-
tically throughout the race 1t was a
battle between The Spokane and Wind
rim Kid, the Hayseed passing the lat
ter in the last three miles of the race.
There were seventeen starters in the
race, which was the first of the series
of five races to decide the champion
ship of the Eastern Yacht club in
selecting three American boats to de-
fend the Roosevelt cup against the
three German challengers for the Ger
man-American champion.
The contest was sailed over a tri-
! angular course of fifteen miles. OF the
seventeen starters sixteen crossed the
finish line the Cod dropping out or
the first leg, when she carried away
her spreaders.
The day was ideal in every way for
yachting and the wind was just suited
to the condor type of boat" 1t was
a beat to the first mark a close reach
to the second mark and run to the
finish Quite fleet of pleasure yachts
surrounded the starting line when the
signal was given at 11:10 a. m. which
sent the little boats away on their
course.
Summary-Spokane, 3:4S0S; Hayseed
III. 3:44:55; Windrim Kid, 3:45:26.
The other boats crossed the line
closely punched, the last to finish, the
Alecto, being not more than fifteen
minutes behind the winner.
