JOCKEY WHO LOOKS AHEAD.
Miller Took Home to His Mother
 S50O00 Last Year.

There is d modest house on Vest minister road, in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, to which a boy of IS brought in the last year $50,000, all of which he earned himtilf. The fond, thrifty mother took the money and put it right in the bank. The case is remarkable, because while there have been other boys earning big money at the same job-- -jockeying, Walter Miller is about the ouly one who has put his income where it will do him some good if rainy days should come to him.
 Miller leads an odd life, odd for the boy the public thinks is rolling in money. AS matter of fact he lives much the same as any other boy of his age who is working for his little six a week and coming home to dump it in mas lap on Saturday night. Miller gets no more of his weeks earnings than the other boy. He spends ftlittle, if he. gets rid of dol lar in any way he tells his mother about it, and if it was spent foolish ly he gets the usual motherly scolo- ing. Mrs Miller isn't a scold. Shes just good, cautious mother wnose boy loves her and trusts her so i'm plicity that he wouldn't feel right if she weren't strict with him.

THE PUGILISTS
JOE CANS >.. .
 WHIPS MEMSIC
Took Twenty Rounds But He Did It and Was Awarded the
 Decision.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept 2S.-At the end of twenty rounds fighting here last night, Joe Cans of Balti- more got the decision over George Memsic of Chicago.
 In the first round Cans hit Mem sic on the nose twice, while Memsic could not get inside of Ganss long left. Memsic did all the rushing, while Cans blocked every straight lead.
 In the fourth round Cans got a left to the stomach and in the fifth he stayed on the defensive. They fought furiously in the sixth, both landing blows. In the seventh Memsic brought blood from Ganss eye and put in three hard ones to the body. In the next round Mem sic landed right and left to the jaw, but Cans more than evened it up. The crowd hissed Memsic in the ninth for hitting in the clinches. Cans held Memsic at bay in the eleventh with fast jabs to the nose and jaw and toyed with him by rocking his head with lefts in the twelfth.
 After warning from the referee in the thirteenth round, Memsic ceased clinching. He rushed wildly at times and then steadied into blows that had little effect. Cans landed good blows from round to round, but did not come near a knockout.
 In the last round Memsic forced Cans to jump away from his wild rushes, but in the last minute Cans landed right with sickening force to the stomach which forced Memsic to cling to Gans's gloves to keep from falling.

 Yokohama. Sept. 2S.-The steamship Minnesota. with Secretary Taft and his party on board, arrived here. and this city and Tokyo are in a ferment of excitement.
 The programme of the official recep- tion to the American secretary of war has been growing in proportions every day.

 The entire programme for his recep- ton will be submitted to Mir. Taft. It includes functions lasting for three days, commencing with an audience and luncheon with the emperor.
 Steam launches bearing a committee from the Asiatic society. the American consulate general here and the Amer ican ambassador at Tokyo went along side the Minnesota to greet the sec retary.

CITY LEAGUE FINISH.
Should the Pastimes Win Tomorrow ..." the Race Will Be Over.

the Race Will Be Over.
 Talk about your finishes in the American league, but this finish in the City Amateur league is one of the most exciting on record. The four leaders come together to-mor- row. The first game will start at 1:30 sharp and the Brooklyns and the Hills will face each other for the last time this season. The de- feated team of these two will be put out of the running altogether, while Fthe winner will go up to second place, provided, however, that the Pastimes do not win. The Pastimes and the Merrimacs will meet in the second game. The Pastimes are now leading, and if they defeat the Mer- rimacs tomorrow they will have clinched the pennant, for there are not enough games left for any other team to overtake them. Should the Merrimacs win, however, it will put the Pastimes and Merrimacs a tie for first place, withthe winner of the Brooklyn and Hills game up in second place, one game behind. That is a race that is worth looking at.
 The Pastimes have never won a pennant, but every season have been up in second place, fighting to the last ditch. The Merrimacs are in the same boat and this clash between them tomorrow will be worth going miles to see. The Brooklyns have won the pennant several times and the Hills have also been pennant winners. They are old rivals on the ball field, and each will make an ef fort to get that game tomorrow, trusting to luck and the Merrimacs' playing to pull the Pastimes down, so that they can get whack at the cup. Isn't that one of the greatest base ball fights in any league in this country, and with all the hard luck the league had this year, too?

CRAZY MAN MAY PLAY.
Famous Wicket Bowler Leaves Asylum to Indulge in Favorite Sport

The famous wicket team of Bristol, Conn.,, which was organized 50 years ago, and which defeated all corners, is to play three games this fall. Many prominent men were ardently interested in the game in the old days, and not a few of them keep 1t up to this day. It has not yet been decided whether or not Gus" Smith will bowl for the team. Gus" Smith is veteran of the civil war, and one of the best bowlers Bristol ever had. Until short time ago he was an inmate of the Connecticut hospital for the insane, but when Bristol had a big game to play one day and was short bowler, someone suggested that they send for Smith.
 In the excitement of the moment the message was sent, permission was given and Smith came and won the game. After that Smith bowled many game for Bristol, and his lack of mental balance never seemed to detract an iota from his ability as player.

Jay Gould a Wonder at a Cane Rush
 Proposition.

New York. Sept 2s.-His face cow cred with blood. his nose swollen far beyond the normal and semi-Jersey sweater almost torn from his back, Jay Gould, the 1s-year-old son of George Gould, and the champion court tennis player of the world, led the freshman class at Columbia JIniyer- sjty to victory in the annual cane rush His enthusiastic classmates declare he planned and there was car ried out fake retreat, and the sopho- mores were permitted to apparently oyerwhelm the freshmen, only to have the latter turn at the last mo- ment and drive the second year men helter skelter before them. Jay Gould is to take the engineering course in Columbia in order to fit himself for the management of his fathers rail- road interests.

BASE BALL NOTES.

City league games tomorrow.
 Greatest finish of any league in the country.
 Every team tomorrow will have out it's best lineup and the two bat ties will be hot right from the start.
 The Pastimes will have every rooter in the west end out shouting for them, while the Merrimacs will bring all out east to cheer on her warriors.
 From the Hill are coming all the old lovers of the Washington Hills, with the avowed intention of eating up the Brooklyns. but from over the bridge are coming Tooters by the score to once more shout for their old favorites. It will be great, those battles.
 The Pastimes and the Merrimacs have never won a pennant, which makes their fight tomorrow more interesting. Each one has the best team ready and trained to the hour, so claims each manager. My, but that will be the candy when they get going.

Major General Daniel Sickles, U. S. A., retired. chair man of the New York monument con- mission, who lost a leg at Gettysburg. presided. The monument was unveil- ed by George s. Greene, Jr.
 Addresses were made by Colonel Lewis R. Stegman, One Hundred and Second New York volunteers, and by Governor Charles E. Hughes in behalf of the state. Governor Hughes said in part:
 'The civil war was not more notable for it's political consequences than for its revelation of the quality of our citizenship. Priceless as is the na- tionaI unity gained through that strug gle. it's value rests upon that sterling character and capacity for heroic ef- fort which in both north and south found abundant illustration The vir- tues displayed on either side of that fierce contest are the common heritage of a united people.
