Swimming Notes

Charles NJ. Daniels. who holds the
title OF champion short distance SWIM
mer by virtue of his beating the best
swimmers that Australia and this
country produced few day ago in the
Lake by swimming the distance with
out least eXertion in 2:42 rs. He had
easy sailing throughout the distance
and had no trouble whatever in de-
feating Mark Schwartz. the local lad.
the latter finished second. twenty yards
behind the windner. B. Goodwin finish
ed third. seemingly having no chance
whatever. The finals of the big nation
al swim will be decided this after
noon.
Otto Schwartz the young brother of
Western champion swimmer Mark
Schwartz, easily defeated Crane aad
Trubenback in special 500 yard swim.
Walter Schwatz. another member
of the Schwartz family. won his heat
in good time in the junior champion
Interest in the program centered in
the efforts of the manager of the meet
to bring Handy and Daniels together
in the mile championship.
One is afraid and the other darsn't."
This tersely expressed the way each
felt toward the others ability. Daniels
was particularly averse to trying con-
illusions with the Chicago boy Al
though repeatedly called coward for
lodging the issue, he personally was
willing to stake his reputation on the
outcome. His eliminates. however.
restrained him, so the spectators were
robbed of seeing what would have been
the greatest swimming race ever held
in America.
There was no earthly excuse for
Daniels refusing to race Handy in
the one mile. as he is the American
record holder, with a mark of &c
minutes Al AS seconds.
Waterdogs who follow swimming
dope closely predict that Daniels
would have practical walkover in the
220 yards. and that Handy would win
the mile without trouble unless Dam
iels entered the fray.
The unique feature was the 100
yards swim on back championship.
Karl Brock of Germany holds the
record of one minute 10 As seconds
in this event.
Handy, the pride of the Chicagoans
was practically unopposed in the mile
and plowed his way through the water
as he pleased. Handy swan the 22O
| yards in minutes, 5 2-5 seconds.

BALL SEASON ENDS
IN THE BIG
LEAGUES
Columbus and Chicago Win.
ners in Association and
National.

The American Association season
closed Monday. with the Columbus
team an easy winner OF the pennant
for 1906.
Milwaukee finished a bad second,
and Minneapolis was third. with but
slender margin over Toledo.
The race has been practically over
for three weeks. as the Columbus
team cinched the pennant about that
time, having a commanding lead over
the other clubs.
This makes the second pennant in
succession for Columbus. as the Sen
ators won out last season.
The association season has been a
Very successful one from financial
standpoint, and most OF the clubs
have made good money.
The National league race is also
over. although some games remain 20
be played. There is not likely to be
any change in the present positions
OF the clubs. Chicago has the pen
nant cinched, and New York has a
with Pittsburg third
The attention of the fans is now
riveted on the American league race,
where there is pretty fight in pro-
gress between the New York and
Chicago clubs. The victories of Chi
cago on Saturday and Sunday, and
the defeat of New York by Washing
ton Saturday, put the White Sox back
in the lead again. and with the High
landers away from home for the rest
of the season, the chances are now
very bright for both pennants floating
over the city by the lake.

Sporting Spiel.

Veteran Sam Thompson played eight
games with Detroit. He made hits
and had 16 chances without an error.
In game against Boston recently,
.Laporte of the Highlander batted
900. Four times up and four hits, in
Guiding home run, two three-baggers
and single for a total of eleven. This
is the record of the season.
1t is said that the Cleveland club
paid $4,000 for Pitcher Berger of COL
umbus and $4,000 for Liebhardt of
Memphis.
The owners of the Boston club in
the National league have not drafted
or bought minor for next season.
Must be going to sell sure this time.
The Indianapolis club is the highest
.salaried team in the American asso.
citation. 1t is also the tail-ender in the
pennant race.
They are getting together nice
bunch of money in Rochester for the
local ball team If it lands one-tWo-
three in the Eastern league race.
No wonder they call Willie Keller
the scientific" hitter. He has struck
out but thirteen times in five years.
Manager Babb of Memphis will have
to hustle to get three men anywhere
near the equal of Liebhardt, Buggs
and Nichols.
The baseball fans of Houston, Texas,
are sore over the showing of their
team. After winning the first-half sea-
son pennant they started the second
half by winning eighteen straight
games and then went to the bad en-
tirely, winding up in third place.

Tainted Meat in the United states.

Tainted Meat in the United States.
London, May 29.-The London news
papers generally make display of the
facts in regard to the use of tainted meat
10 the United States, but only two OF
them comment upon the revelations,
apparently accepting the cabed state
ments that the bad food is sold mainly
in the United States and is not exported.
The Pail Mall Gazette, owned by
William Waldorf Astor, expressed the
opinion that the antitrust movement in
the United States will gain momentum
As p result of The revelations, but adds
"In short time the sui ject will be for
gotten, and, il precedent is any guide,
the old system will be hourishing under
the ewes of the army of Inspectors pald
to hold their tongues. America has
still to learn the lesson that good govern
ment can only be obtained by steady
and sober attention to its details and not
by paving a number OF people to relieve
the patton of its proper responsibilities
The prolonged spells Of Indifference,
varied by the explosions of indignation,
are only satire on the benefits OF a
pure democracy"
The Evening News speaks in a similar
vein and then SAYS: "rhe people which
permits corruption certainly suffers for
its sins" The paper rejoices that Eng
lish firms will profit because Of the ex-
posures which have been made, saying
alt is a comfort to know that the ruff
fans responsible for the Chicago packing
scandals will suffr severely. Their
pockets are the only spot where they
hsve any feeling"
Inquiries made among London trad
ers showed that they are apprehenslve
as TO their ability to dispose OF their ex'
isting slockq of American meats Buyers
today refused to purchase meats not
bearing the names of the principal Brit
ish firms which are regarded As being
free from reproach, owing to the string
ent inspection of their factories. The
prosecution of British manufacturers OF
potted meats and preserves is rare, ow-
ing 10 the exemplary punishmenls In
aicied when a conviction is secured.
A member OF the firm of Crosse d
Blackwell, the largest manufacturers
and handlers of packed goods inEng
land, aud large buyers of American can
ned goods, said to representative OF thu
Publishers Press, that his firm wou!c
not have any more dealinings with
American packers until they are salts
fed with the excellence of their pro
ducts. He declared that he does no
believe goods such as those described il
the cable message received here coul'
b, sold in Great Britain, "a no firm O
reputation would handle them, aside
from the danger OF the discovery OF thei
nature as the result Of analysis by ex
perls employed both by the government
aud private dealers for the purposs o
detecting impure foods.

TUESDAY EVENING. MAY %, 1900

DURING THE past few years a consid-
erable amount Of money has been spent
- in Alexandria in legitimate enterprises
which have FROM lime to time been de-
seribed in the Gazette. Large an mod
ern structures have taken the places OF
taose which had heretofore been used as
banking houses, while other places have
been metamorphosed and modernlzsd'
such WORK is still in progress, and II Is
,hoped the example set by few VIII De
followed by others. In some cases caPi
a,l snent in Alexandria has been brought
,from other places, which shows that
outsiders have faith in Alexandra.
THAT the Ieople of ibis. city should DO
everything reasonable to encourage those
who come in our midst and risk their
capilal is selfevdent. Unfortunately
n. ssimism is A disease with some, and
iney suffer from it throughout lie
Others however, Of naturally hopeful
natures. nurture optimistic instincts and
ever hope for the best. The late Rob
ert Portner has demonstrated the fact
that business men can make money in
Alexandria as well as in any other city,
and his experience is that of numbers
now living here who by their energy
have erected large business institutions
