CUBS ARE BADLY CRIPPLED
Seven of the Chicago Players Are
More or Less Injured.

New York, Aug. 31.-The Chicago
National league baseball champions
are badly shot to pieces. Seven play
ers are more or less crippled and three
are not with the club. Fraser, Brown,
King, Howard, Evers, Tinker, and
Slagle constitute the hospital list and
the absentees are Manager Chance, Ed
Reulbach and Pat Moran. A telegram
was sent to Moran asking him to re-
port as soon as possible.
Killing and Howard are the two lat
est to retire from the game, Killing
wrenched his back swinging on one of
Fuckers teasers in Tuesdays game
and then caught a cold that steeled
there. He Is limping around with
cane now Howard was hit on the
head by a pitched ball, at which he
swung in the same game, and little
later one of Evers throws split the
end of his little finger. This put him
out of the running for a little while.
Evers, Tinker. and Slag1e are still suf-
fering more or less from old injuries.

The Ball Wasn't WhereLove Thought
1t Was.

Old Bill Hoffer who used to pitch
for the Baltimore Orioles in the days
of old before the destruction of
Pompeii worked for the visitors in the
slab department. The Oriole did not
have much yesterday. The locals hit
him hard enough and for a time he
despaired of winning. Two baggers
came frequently and in one inning
timely hitting worked two men across.
He was opposed by Bunton who in
reality twirled a fine game. But luck
was not with him. He could not win
when the team was not playing ball
behind him and result of the
superiority of amateur playing, he
lost his game.
The locals started out to the good.
In the third inning after johnson had
famed, Bunton walked. Landreth
managed to keep one inside the right
field foul line and Bunton went to
third. Olson flew out to RappS and
Bunton scored. Abbott doubled to
left field and Landreth pranced home.
Runkel reached first on Whites error

Jocky Club Action.

BILE to the World says: Richard
Croker is now a real. vital factor on
the English turf. The action of the
Jockey club in restoring to him the
privilege of training his horses at
Newmarket Heath proves that by his
indomitable perseverance and by
sportsmanlike methods he has beaten
down the opposition that put hurdles
in his way ever since he came to Eng
land to race his horses, nearly 8 years
ago.
while 1t was universally under
stood in turf circles that there was no
valid sporting reason for barring Mr..
Croker's horses from Newmarket
Heath, the acknowledgment of the
Jockey club that such was the case
was a long time in arriving"

INTERFERENCE OF PROHIBITION
Interesting Views Expressed by Sill
Crichton-Browne.
Special Cablegram TO The Star.


LONDON, August 22.-Proposng the
toast of Science at the annual dinner of
the Medico- Psychological Association, held
at the Whitehall rooms, Sir James erich
ton-Browne said they had at that table
many of the highest authorities In the
country on the alcohol question. Medical
superintendent of lunatic asylums, who
saw much of the evils of alcohol. were the
strenuous advocates OF temperance, and
had supplied to the teetotalers some Of
their strongest arguments. He thought,
therefore. it would be interesting to ascer-
tain how far they adopted the extreme
views on the alcohol question now being
promulgated. and with the assistance of
the manager he had had statistics prepared.
There were at that table eightyfOur
members of the association and of them
just 3 or 6 per cent had declined alcohol
had partaken of alcohol in some form. a
large majority in several forms. He dned
a fortnight previous at the table of Sir
Andrew Noble with eighteen of the leading
men of science Of the day. from the vener-
albe Lord Kelvin downward, and not one
of them declined alcohol.
These were facts, and in view of such
facts ii was a farce an obsession or a
gross hyperbo!e to speak of alcohol a
deadly poison. Those who declared alco-
'hol to be a deadly poison should also state
that we constantly carry about in our bod
les more deadly poisons or toxins. But
these human posons We're harmless-nay,
beneficial-as long as they were kept in
their right place, and our great aim should
be to keep alcohol in its right place also.
