Physical Ills of Temper.

Would you be well? Then control
your temper. Do you not know that
fits of passion, this giving way to the
worst that is in you, does you not only
moral and mental, but actual physical
harm? Temper invariably interferes
with the process of digestion; it
carves ugly lines on our faces; it
wears upon the tissues, and leaves us
physically and mentally exhausted, as
well as morally weaker after each in.

is equally powerless to control them

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, Oct. "a very ordi-
nary card was hung up by the asso-
citation for decision at the Belmont
Park course this afternoon. A heavy
rainstorm set in shortly before the
horses were called to the post in the
opening event, which left the course
in rather poor shape for the running
The storm, however, had little effect
on the attendance, the usual quota be-
ing on hand when the sport began.
Betting on the different events was
brisk
The Fairview, a selling event for
three-year-oldS was the feature. The
talent put winner over the plate in
this race when Belle of Pequest, the
well-backed choice at 4 to s. breezed
under the wire an easy winner. Leon
ard Joe Hayman rushed to the front
soon after the barrier was released
and showed the way to the turn, with
the rest of the field well strung out
There Belle of Pequest moved to the
front, and taking the lead held it to
the finish, winning in the easiest kind
of fashion by five lengths from Leon

When the Oaks discovered that the
Seals evidently did not care about the
glories OF a victory they waded in
themselves and brought it home. Bliss
was there on a pass and Heitmuller
laid down a nice bunt, sending him
along a block. Hackett put down an
other one, and Busher Welch was so
low in hesving IL over to third that
'rhe runner had time and some to spare
in beating ii out.
Oakland thereby got two on the
sacks without much trouble. But they
should not have won out at that. Dew
ereaux only had a short fly to Wal
thour. but the latter did an Oriental
Juggling stunt with it. Bliss started
TO come in and Walthour picked up the
sphere and lined it at Wilson. The Cap
foundered around the plate and then
dropped the ball after having Bliss
nailed by many feet.
Naturally, the Oakland team will do
some swelling up on the victory. for it
IS the first they have tasted for one
long week. They were so used to hav-
ing the Siwashes hand 1t to them time
and time again that they hardly ex-
pected 10 win yesterday. This prob
ably accounts for their giving the Seals
so many chances which were over

Oakland started in right. away to
break into the run business. Smith, the
first man up, waited for a pass, and
Van Haltren sent him through with a
resounding triple TO center. Bliss laid
down one al the plate, and while Dick
Williams was trying to pick up VIII
sons ragged throw Van sneaked in
with the second mark for Oakland.
Hopkins double, Smiths sacrifice and a
wild pitch helped the Oakland pitcher
round in the third.

There is a IulI in the four-round box
ing game at the present time. The
boxers have become inoculated with
the germ of unionism, and they are
holding out for larger purses than the
promoters are willing to allow them.
Rough House" Billy Mcdonald has re-
vived the Fighters Union, and its MEM
bers are framing a schedule Of prices
which they will submit to the club man
ayers. Their present intention is to
ask for $3.50 for star bouts and
amounts in proportion for those of less
er drawing power. The fighters claim
that the promoters are getting big re-
turns at the gate. and that the men
who draw the money are entitled to a
fair share of it. That the managers
know good card when they see 1t is
shown by the fact that Harry Leap
offered Powell and Wolff $500 If they
would fight before his club in this

SCHOOL CHILDREN EXTINGUISH
FIRE ON BIG HAY WAGOs
Youthful Bucket Brigade Does Heroic
Work and saves Farmers Produce

A unique fire occurred in the Mis-

resterdsv afternoon. when flames
broke out IN a load Of hay on a large
wagon driven by S. Miles OF Ingleside.
They were extinguished only after
buckle; upon bucket Of water had been
applied by a crowd Of school children.
Miles. who was driving his wagon
ia the direction Of the town, discov-
cred that his load Of hay was on fire.
Al that moment a group Of school boys
rounded the corner. and seeing the
FIRE rushed into a hardware store a
short distance away and secured sew
oral buckets The school boys and
Miles got busy. but the fire gained
headway and for a while it appeared

More school children and pedestrians
arrived upon the scene, and with this
added assistance the flames were eX-

The men are TO box under Queens

wear soft surgical bandageS or finger

They had no difficulty in selecting a
referee. There was but one name men
toned that of Jack Welch, and he was
agreed upon without argument. His
fee, which will probably be $3.50, will
be paid out of the gross receipts, thus
placing the burden upon promoters and
boxers alike. The men are to post
forfeits of $1,000 each at once with
Harry Corbett to guarantee their ap-

time.
This is the first important heavy
