that he would rest around Harrison
for a while and then go back and get
the rest of the fellows on the other
claims.
In about week or whereabouts
we went back up there and met
fellow by the name of Boule and an
other, man coming down the trail.
We fired and killed Boule. There
was Jack Simpkins. Neut Glover and
myself. There was another man
whose name do not remember. We
met the man on the trail and Simp-
kins and Glover knew him. Mason
was not there. We shot at the man
with Boule, but missed him. After
that we went back to Glover's cabin
and Simpkins went to Mason's cabin.
We finally got ont by going to Glo-
ver's cabin and got canoe and went
by the way of the st. Joe river. The
canoe was lying on the bank and we
took it.
I'VE landed above the Glover
ranch and let the canoe go adrift. We
waited around there until the sheriff
came up to investigate the matter OF
the death of Boule. Then we went
back up to the place and blew up.the
cabins. I do not remember how
many, or whether 1t was all of them
or not. There were two or three at
least. The sheriff did not find both
the bodies, only the body of Boule
which was close to Simpkins' cabin
/ do not think that the sheriff asked
Simpkins about the body.

the Saratoga Racing Association here
this afternoon.
Not fewer than 1000 votarles crowd
ed the pretty course, every box in quail

company Of gsyly dressed women and
well-groomed cavaliers. The S15.O
Saratoga Handicap OF a mile and a
quarter stood as the chief event of the
afternoon and with a splendid field en-
tered and radiant weather prevailing
a splendid turnout of the elite Of the
Spa resulted.
over night F. r. Hitchcock's Dande-
lion looked to be a sure winner OF the
big race, though McCarter was not
without friends. The Flash Stakes for
two-year-olds stood as a sidelight at
traction.
The track was fast q slight rain
through the night adding speed to the
course. There were 242 bookmakers IN
line. and as usual with Saratoga, spec

setback OF the champion White SOX

they manage 70 keep close up until
the close OF this Eastern trip. and
the chances are they Will pull them
selves together
The makeup OF the team has not
changed. and. having gone through
the FIRE once, the Sox will make q lot
OF trouble before striking their
colors.

I Of the Detroit boys. Both teams have

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Although the

to use the beach course, with ample
loops ct each end around which the cars
will be able to travel at beach speed.

New Zen the Goods.

There are three members OF the team.
Nichols. at short. Oldring, IN center and
Collins, at third, who are playing reEu-
lsrly on the team for the first time. It
Is true that Collins was once a star Of
the Boston Americans, but he was not
considered top-notcher in the Hub city
any Longer. With the Athletics he has
been playing the very best kind OF bali.
and Is now properly regarded as one OF
the best hitting and fielding tlnrd bas4-
men In the American League Both
Nichols and Oldring have some rough
edges IN their fielding. but their hitting
makes them invaluable. and as long

There Is just one place la ahich Mack
has ceuse fer serious wOrriment This
Is the pitching staff. No complaint can
be made against the work which Plank
and Bender are doing. They are right
now at their best. Bender won from
st Louis and Cleveland last week. and
Plank was successful IN pulling Dygert
and BARLEY out Of 2 bad hole in the
second St Louis game. and winning the
hnal contest with the MisSourians some
what easily. Dygert is pitching good
ball. but he has developed a tendency Of

Rules Need Revising.

There can be no doubt that the auto
mobile trade Of this country is ripe for
a test Of machines on several different
lines than any ever proposed, and that
the trade generally will take part in
such a contest. Every maker believes
that rules are far too Ienient In these
contests. and that under stricter ruling
and greater espionage OF the cars his
particular make would come prominently
TO the front
Many OF the makers failed to enter
the contest this year fer the Glidden
and Hover trophies. They gave as their
reasons the laXity Of rules. Observers
are wanted, tire trouble must be elimi-
mated as a factor in determining the re-
suit and cars must be run under stricter
rules thar has formally been the case.

No sympathy for Wadden.

The one disappointment IN the pitching
stan is Rube Waddell. the man who
should just now be the most dependable

the return Of the Athletics. He OBLIGATED
against Chicago a week ago Saturday
and lost that game. Then he had a rest
until the last Saturday. when he faced
Cleveland In this game Rube had 10
retire in the seventh with the bases
filled and none out. compelling Dygert
10 enter without a chance to warm up.
There are good many who think
WaddeN vas shamming on Saturday.
and certainly the attitude Of his team
mates would lead one to think that they
felt the same way about him. II this
is the case. Waddell VIII get little sym
pathy from the fans, and little mercy
from Mack 1t is unfortunate that
Coombs should still be on the crippled
list. This Jwirler is working every day

committees OF the various trade bodies

der such a procedure a contest might be

be so large that none but large cities

tude. The annual tour must either be a

In the latter case the run each day
must be hard. observers must be car
ricd on each car. the troubles from tires
must be taken into reckoning in the
running time. and speed must be regu-
lated by checkers at points on the route
