"They come, they come: the cry arose,
From all the Battery's side;
." MY men, my men, those are but boys;
The officer replied.
Pour in your shot; give them shrapnel;
And soon the sun will see
Them wavered, halted, broken, fled
The Southern Chivalry."
"They halt. they halt" the Colonel cried;
YOU soon will see them fee"
They come, they come" the men replied;
This Southern Chivalry."

But giants in our eyes;

A tide Of sacrifice"
The battle lulled: two armies gazed,
Upon that red artillery:
Upon those heights where test was made,
OF Southern Chivalry.
Twas not in man to stem that tide,
That flowed TO victory;
On heights Of flame they placed their flag,
OF Southern Chivalry.

The Return.

With laurel crown,
Through Stsuntol town,
We proudly marched that day;
And old Confeds.
With bowed heads,
Most gladly gave us way.
No veteran men,
Dare mock us then,
But only cheers they gave;
While lovely Girls,
With sun-lit curls,
With laurel crowned the brave.
Two nights before
New Markets roar
Our Boys were boyish then:
But ere the night
OF that grand fight,
The boys had grown-to men.
Our step was light,
Our arms were bright,
Our flag its symbol bore:
Now stained and torn
Our uniform,
Our guns are rusted DER.
Both shot and shell,
And dread shrapnel,
Right through our standard tore;
And at roll call
We mark the fall
OF fifty men. or more.
We proudly tell,
How each one fell,
With face towards the foe:
How some lie meath
The victor's wreath,
Where murm'riug waters flow.
New Markets name
a deathless fame
Shall mark their Southern race;
While we lay down
Our garland crown,
On their last resting place.

where's Honest John Kelly?" asked
the old Harvard man, attending game
in New York for the first time in fifteen
wears. "He was the kingpin in my Day
and a huskier umpire never held the
lob. / remember when he caught for
Manchester, a big, raw-boned fellow,
with fighting face and a little dent on
the left side of his head, or was 1t the
right? A..
crack Manchester team played Harvard
fwenty-four innings and darkness
stopped the game--0-0. l guess tnat
record was never beaten! Kelly wore
no mask. He clinched piece of rub
her between his teeth, but it afforded
slight protection. On his left hand was
a little glove, the fingers Of which were
cut off midway. Why, I'm sure don't
know.
'The Harvard catcher wore a home
made mask, the first ever constructed.
and how that Manchester crowd did
yuy him! But when Kelly saw how
we'll 1t worked he was for having one,
too. What has become of Honest Jonn,
anyway"
The reporters informed the old col
lege player that H. j. Kelly was to be
seen most any day scooting about New
York in his 40-horse power machine,
takes little interest in baseball, in which
respect he is like Mike Herman, who
though within a few blocks of the polo

that Dude Esterbrook got the better
of 1t in an irnpromptu mill, probably
because the Dude" had SO exasperated
Kelly that he could not control his
temper. Esterbrook had a way of talk
ing to himself, while waiting for next
bat, for Instance:
Most extraordinary persons they
find to umpire these days-must search
all the blind asylums. Their intellect
reminds one of cigar store indian.
AS Kelly had also been a prize fight
referee at many of the big contests,
notably the Mitchell, Ester
brook would continue:
II wonder If it's true that these ref
erees will throw fight to the highest
bidder Must be good money In 1t and
mortal man will do anything for
money" Honest John would grit his
teeth savagely at these allusions, bur
had no license to expel the Dude.
Finally he lost hisAtemper and invited
Esterbrook to fight 1t out in the club
house.
The Dude was never known as a
scrapper and his mates expected to see
him emerge all to- the bad. on the
contrary, he trimmed Honest John COM
nletely and after that was never chal-
ienged by player or umpire.

Nv AaaocIated Press.

Ry Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The greatest
money winner of the season, Account
ant, by his victory in the annual
champion stakes at sheepshead Bay
brought the total of his winnings on
the turf in two seasons up to $97,36O,
and. with the engagements that he
has for the remainder Of the year, II
seems almost a certainty that before
he goes into winter quarters ne VIII
have Joined the great list Of winners
of 100000 or more on the American
turf. -,
Accountant, a brown colt, by Fill
Crane Reckon, by Pizarro, was bred
by A. II. and d. II. Morris, and by
them sold to the late Captain S. 3.
Brown, in whose stable he raced last
season as a two-year-old.
At two years Accountant was winner
of two important stakes, but was SO
overshadowed by the numerous smart
horses of his age that he did not
achieve especial prominence.
-, This season, after the death of Cap
tain Brown, Accountant was raced In
the early part of his three-year-ol old
form by w. H. Brown for the s. 5.
Brown estate and in the early part of
the summer was sold TO James d.
oIduy lOi YoVsVOOs
The great value of the colt when
the sale was made was regarded as
more in the fact that the best horses
that he might have had to compete
against had gone amiss, until Ac-
countant was practically alone among
the high class colts engaged In the
great stakes.
But for all that Accountant had
proved himself to be great race
horse, and in his stake winnings this
season has followed closely on the
career of the great Sysonby, winner of
$4,000 last season.
AS q two-year-old Accountants to-
tai winnings were $15,420, and in the
Brown stable this year, when trained
by Robert Tucker, earned $10.910 more
for the Brown stable. At the Graves
end spring meeting he was sold to Mr..
Brady, and since then, under the train
ing of M. NJ. Allen, he has been beaten
but once, and has rolled up a total of
71,030 in winnings for that owner and
a total of $S1, $40 for the year.
The important stakes won by Ac-
countant this season include the With
ers, the Tidal, the Lawrence Realiza-
tion, the Saratoga derby, the Brighton
derby and the annual champion.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 29.-"Footbal
the game-is one of the finest, il moi
absolutely the finest sport, for the de-
velopment of young men to their best
powers" said DIR. c.. P. HutchinS, the
new athletic director at the University
of Wisconsin, who has just arrived al
Madison ready to assume his new duties
at the opening of the fall semester.
1.-THE best physical development" he
said, "does not mean the highest ability
to lift or throw great weights; it does
not mean merely the greatest accumu-
lation of Drawn.
"It means the development of the
muscles to answer promptly and ac-
cura tely to the dictates of the mind
just as the best mental development
is that which fits the mind to respond
to the will, and the best moral develop
ment is that in which the will responds
to the promptings of conscience
Football develops in young man
all of the best qualities-strength
speed, the right sort of courage, quick
thinking, the absolute obliteration OF
self and the coordination of muscular
effort.
To Study Western Conditions
"Though | am thoroughly familiar
with conditions in the east regarding
athletic matters,'' DIR. Hutchins con-
tinued, "I have yet to study the situa-
tion here In the west. However, 1 have
no doubt that the temporary suspen-
sion of Intercollegiate football contests
between the four largest universities
will greatly relieve the tension under
which the game has been played here.
mo one can foresee what is going
to be the most successful mode of
operation in the development of the
game. and there will, of course, be
much experimentation.
"If there is to be conscientious ad-
herences on the part OF each OF the
universities to the new rules and regu-
lations there seems to be no reason
whatever why any intercollegiate con-
tests should be forbidden.
"The new game should mean that the
teams will be much more evenly
matched more uniform, and with the
more open play made necessary by the
new ten-yard rule the game should re-
quire of the men more speed than
weight, and should substitute prompt
action in emergency to the old follow
ing OF preconcerted maneuvers.

tion and Says Black List
Rule Is Joke

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-Spider
Baum, who went to the outlaw league
right after the big fire, returned last
week after a successful season with
Altoona. Before the season closed he
received offers from Cincinnati and St.
Louis National clubs, but he has done
no business with any club as yet.
He can go back to Altoona at a nice
salary and will unless he can better
himself with some other club. THAT
is great league back there" said
Baum yesterday. ST guess 1T is the
only league in the country that IS not
run to make money.
"The clubs are backed by a lot of
coal barons who count on losing money
every season. Take that Williamsport
club, for example. Each of the stock
holders assesses himself $1,000 in the
spring Just to start the ball a-rolling.
you won't see over a couple of hun
dred people out to the games at VIII
Transport except on Saturdays, and
they pay big salaries, too. other clubs,
like Altoona and Yorke, draw bigger
crowds, but they don't make any
money We heard some talk about the
league going into organiZGd baseball,
but they say they hear that talk every
year.
Black List Rule Joke
"One thing is certain that black list
rule is joke. There wasn't a player
in that league who could play a lick
that didn't get offers to jump back.
All summer long we We're pumping
into managers out hunting players.
The woods were full of them.
1.-THE usual offer was $500 to sign
contract, and you could pretty near
write your contract. But the players
seemed to be satisfied and only few
jumped back. Burch went to st.
Louis, Jude to Cincinnati, Doughterty
to Chicago and Altizer to Washington.
''These were about all who quit. But
l think there will be some others who
will go up next year. There were
lot of good players in that league, and
the man who could win there could
win anywhere. No minor league had
anything on it."
Baum stated that nearly all of the
coast players who Joined the outlaws
made good. Dollie Gray was the only
one who drew his release before the
season ended. He wound up by find
ing the season with an independent
club In Maryland. Gray could not get
in his stride and before he knew II
his release was handed him.
When he was with Los Angeles
Dollie was sometimes slow striking his
gait. Shields. Ross, Brashear, Street
and Flood all had good seasons, but
the latter will be with Toronto next
year. Tim signed contract just be-
fore the season closed to manage the
club. and received nice slice OF ad-
vance money.

Various Departments to Compete
"One method on which we shall de-
pend largely for getting out the main
body of the men for athletic work Is
competition between the various coll
leges in the university l believe in
competition. We hope by pitting the
men of the colleges of engineering, law,
agriculture and letters against each
other in teams for the various sports,
to stimulate to even greater and more
general interest and enthusiasm all the
men in those various departments
1.-THE cross-country work will be one
of the first branches of athletics, after
football, to be organized. Then there
will be the basketball, gymnasium and
track teams, baseball mines. crews,
hockey and tennis. sport which many
men not fitted for other sports can en-
ter, since II takes a different form OF
nervous organization.
"Other sports that have never been
developed here admit of possibilities,
such as association football and la
crosse. These are among the physical
possibilities for the future development
OF the department. Taken altogether
these sports give a good many avenues
for the development of young men aside
