MEMSlC AND JIMMY
THOMPSON MAY MEET

Charley Neary is quoted by "a Mil
waukee paper as saying that he will not
come to the coast to meet any of the
lightweights unless he is guaranteed a
purse sufficient to pay him for his
trouble, and in an Interview several
days ago intimated that he was look
ing for a match with Nelson or Britt
above all others.
This being the case, it hardly appears
likely that Cyclone Thompson or George
Memsic Will haze a chance of hooking
up with the Milwaukee boy, who
knocked out Herrera recently. There is
a possibility, however. OF Memse and
Thompson getting together for twen-
ty-round contest with $1,000 up as side
bet.
Thompson has signified his willing
ness to back himself for that amount.
and a friend Of the Cyclone said last
night that he would increase this
amount If Memscs manager wanted a
larger bet.
Manager McCarey will be asked to
give the boys a date in October and
may accede II the side bet is forthcom-
lug.

MORANS SECURE
A WHITEW ASH

John Moran's crowd of husky ball
players celebrated the new suit occa-
sion yesterday by shutting out the
keystone nine with n score of to O..
Evidently the Morans desired to show
John Just what they could do when
garbed in nobby uniforms contributed
by the latter.
At all events, they trounced the Key
stone boys soundly though the latter
played the fastest sort of ball up 10
the eighth inning, when u combination
of hits and errors netted the Morans
four runs.
Previous to the bad round the Mo-
rams had secured the only run of the
game when Whaling scored on field
er's chojse in the second inning. Both
Marshall and Rieger twirled an excel
lent brand of BALL though the former
threatened to blow up in the opening
innings. He settled down after the
fifth, however, and there was nothing
stirring for the Keys.
Reiger kept his hits scattered until
the eighth, when four of the seven
safetes scored against him were
smashed out.
Manager Chavez of the Morans
shifted his lineup yesterday, and the
change resulted in smooth play. La
mer was traded to the Hoegee Flags
and Moore held down short in telling
style. II. Lucero was at second.
The new formation is expected to
result in heavier hitting, though the
Morans have been clouting the ball
persistently during the season.
The first run was scored after Tom
Whaling tripled to center field. Man
gerina was hit by pitched ball and
stole second Moore struck out and
Whaling Tailed as Rieger tried to catch
him at the plate on Lucero's slow
bounder.
Close, snappy play distinguished the
next four innings. Tom Whaling opened
the eighth with a shot to center. Rie-
ger made a bungle of Mangerina's slow
one and all hands were safe. Marshall
sacrificed both runners. Whaling
scored on Moore's pop over second
Rieger booted Luceros attempt across
the right field fowl line and then threw
wild to third, Mangerina and Moore
coming across, while Lucero reached
third. Simonds hit to center and Lu-
cero scored. Pedrotti was hit by Il
pitched ball and was forced at second
by Moriarty.
The Hoegee Flags won a close game
from the Rivera nine by score of 3
to 2, Snodgrass' three-bagger was a
feature. The score:

the hour set apart for dinner, the pro-

conservatory and grounds until the
gong should sound the dinner hour
After spending short time inspect

guests came suddenly to a small gate
at the end of the lawn. "Ah," said the
professor to his astOnished guests, ''as-
suredly this will be much nearer way

Remarkable steer Feeding.

SThe Pennsylvania experiment station
reports the following remarkable con-
illusions as the result of it's test of feed
ing exposed steers against we'll shell
tered ones from Nov to March Z,
a19O4-05:
Eirst.-The general result of this eX-
pertinent is at variance with those of
the two preceding ones in the fact
that the steers outdoors ate less food
per pound gain than the ones inside.
Second-It confirms the result OF the
work of 10000 in that the actual
amount of food eaten by the outside
lot was less than that eaten by the in
side lot
Third-It confirms the results of
former trials and shows that the gains
made by fattening steers are not in
creased by warm quarters. 1t is not
possible to have stables 700 cold for
faftening steers in this climate, pro
vided they are kept dry and we'll bed
&1ed
Fourth is possible to keep out
door yards from becoming excessively
muddy by the use of soft coal cinders.
A shed in a well drained yard can be
kept practically as dry as the interior
of the barn, provided plenty of bed
ding is used and the manure is remoy-
ed sufficiently often.

Just because it goes on daily and may

those foreigners who may have chanc-

The daily performance is marked with

full of interest to the intelligent on

signifies the mere bringing together of
the heavy wooden doors and barring
the emperor's highway against all
corners.
AT the appointed hour a preliminary
signal is given by large gong or iron
shield being struck with big iron bar
fifty times in such quick succession as
almost to defy calculation This is
followed by signal of 100 blows re-
peated in precisely the same fashion

Presently the rush SlackenS until
only solitary pedestrian or possibly
a man on a donkey, full tilt, a belated
rickshaw or a heavily laden cart strug-
giles through. Then a movement is
made with the gates, yelling bursts out
afresh and another rush ensues, the
gates being meanwhile half closed and
occasionally opened little way again

ceased, there is a final scrimmage to
get into the city, and the process of
closing, which has taken some half
hour in all, is concluded.
