WHEN "WIFEY"
A THE DOPE

Seated ct the breakfast table OF a sultry
summers day,
Mrs. Smith picked up the paper in a care
less. idle way
Threw her lamps on social items. noting
quickly up and down
Names of lucky, favored people who had
blown away from town
In this steamy August weather-till at last
her restless glance
Fell upon the sporting section-and she
fingered in a trance.
MI. Smith was eating bacon. which the
same. as you should know,
Is a widespread breakfast fodder anywhere
you choose to 60
And his jaw was working deftly like the
handle Of q pump.
When he heard an exclamation from his
wife that made him jump.
whats the matter?" he responded, with
his appetite well sated-
why those frowus upon your forehead?
Why those eyeballs so dilated?"
'"rell me this" she ~said-and shuddered-
TEL me what this means, l pray
Nothing but the gallant playing of Mike
johnson saved the day
With the score tied in the seventh and the
combat gliding by.

Good for Mike her husband answered.
Ties the goods--I always knew it
Swallowed Jones's fly" she murmured-
Tell me how the man could do it?'
Then she read-"With mighty bludgeons
In their mitts. the demon Sox
Hoped on Waddrll in the pinches-ham-
mered him out of the box
Shot him full of poisoned arrows-drove
him TO the uncut woods
Walloped all the wnddlng from hinl-for he
didn't have the goods"
This IS awful '>said she, frowning-"Why
should he have drawn n beating?"
But her husband only snickered and again
turned to his eatIng.
Look at this she stammered. palMg

four out of five games from Baltimore in
the last series.
Epgle made four hits in five trips 10 the
plate yesterday. He is steadily improving
in his stickwork.
Up to yesterday Pardee was the only
Newark pitcher who had been successful
against Buffalo this season. La Belle
gained that distinction yesterday. The old
man is pitching fine ball these days.
Pitcher Willetts, who was purchased by
Newark from Detroit, twirled part of the
game against New York at Detroit yester-
day. He was expected to join the Colts
at Buffalo.
Pitcher Moore, who was traded to New
York by Cleveland in exchange for Pitcher
Clarkson and Outielder Delehanty has
been turned over TO Jersey City for the
remainder of the season.

AND
E
IN DRAW
McGOyern and COrbett Also
Exchange Love Taps for
Three Rounds.

NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-winie Fltzger-
aid. of Brooklyn. and Unk Russell, Of
PHILADELPHIA. fought a six-round draw last
night at the Crown A. c.. Brooklyn. Both
fought fast and cleverly at times, and at
other times slowly and elumsily. During
the mix-ups. in which they INDUCED fire.
duently, Fitzgerald pulled his punches
with the result that many persons thought
they were not trying for a knockout. To
those near the ringside. however, Fitz-
gerald's object was apparent. 1t was a
trick of the game he had learned by his
eleven years experience in the ring.
With heads together each would appar-
emily slug each other until tired. Fitz-
gerald kept his hand swinging, but with
little force In his punches. He was en-
deavoring to tire his opponent and reserve
his own strength until they broke, and
then land a swing on the Jaw with terrific
force. Once he succeeded, with the result
that Russell was knocked down. Other
times he shot terrific swings Mt his oppo-
nent's law. hut they missed the mark by
a few inches.
Fifteen hundred persons saw the fights.
Terry McGovern and Young Corhett boxed
three rounds. It was simply an exhibition
and neither struck any hard blows. Terry
locked to be in prime condition, while Cor
bett was fat.
Jimmy Moran was defeated by Joe War
ner: Young Schaffer beat Sandy Williams,
Terry Edwards and Tommy Nelson boxed
a draw. and Willie Mango outpointed

SKEETERSDROp
S IN ROW TO
TORONTO
Leaders Make Clean Sweep
by Downing SkeeterS in
Final Game.

TORONTO. Aug. 16.-The Shelters
farewell to Toronto yesterday by losing
to the Maple Leafs by a score of 3 to 2,
the locals winning out in the ninth inning,
and making a record of all FIVE games
from the Bean combination. Like both of
Wednesdays battles, the final struggle
was interesting, the pitching being first
class and the fielding fast despite the
errors.
Bean had his young pitcher, NORWOOD,
on the mound, and he made a good show
ing until the ninth. Then the luck broke
against him. and Bean called on Joe lake
to save the game. This the relief man was
unable to do, the Keleyites obtaining the
winning run with one nan gone, a wild
pitch aiding in it's manufacture.
Fred Mitchell acted as delivery clerk for
the T%orontos. and was In good trim. Each
pitcher possessed more speed than usual
and a little less accuracy, ten gifts being
handed out. The hits and strikeouts also
were even, but Lake made a wild pitch
and the Skeeters made one more misplay
than the locals, and these slight advan-
tages helped the Canadians to the victory.
Toronto appeared to have the game 2 to l
until the final, but Beams Braves tied in
the ninth, only 90 lose out later. The
score.

+ stroyed After Breakdown.

NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-Good and Plenty,
probably the best steeplechaser that ever
raced between the flags or IN American
course, Is dead. Thomas Hitchcock, ir..
his owner, ordered him to be shot when It
was found he had broken down in one of
his hind legs in addition to the old trouble
in front. and the splendid bay gelding.
who was such a prime favorite with New
York raeegoers, now lies buried on the
top of a hill on the Hitchcock estate near
Hampstead.
Good and Plenty was z years old and
never had been beaten in a cross-country
race until the beginning of the present
season. His name stands among the win
ners of nearly every steeplechase Of the
first Importance that is decided on East
ern tracks. He won the Grand National
and the Whitney Memorial last year. and
the whitney Memorial and the New York
Steeplechase the year before, the weakness
In his fore legs preventing him from going
to the post In the Grand National of 1905.
