WILL TRADE YOUNG.
Pres. Dewey Will Give Twirling Star
Chance to Try Luck Elsewhere.

Boston. July 22.-Pres. George B.
Dewey of the Boston National League
club has decided to give Irving Young
a chance to show what he can do with
another club.
While Young is in good condition. he
cannot seem to win consistently for
Boston, his record for the season be-
ing: Won 5: lost Is.
Pres. Dewey says the pitcher cannot
be had for a money consideration, but
as the Boston club needs a catcher and
an outfielder. he is willing to let Young
go i'm the way of trade.
Pittsburg wants him badly, but the
Boston magnate has decided to make
it an open game. and has therefore
notified the other clubs of the league
that Young will be traded, If. by the
strengthened.
Mr.. Dewey has only the most kindly
feeling toward Young. and it is partly
on the latter's account that he IS will
ing to let him go. as he may be able to
do better with another club than he
has. Of course. in mind the strengthen
ing of his own team.
As Manager Fred Clarke Of the
Pirates thinks Young would be a de-
sirable addition to his pitching staff,
the Pittsburger may be willing to offer
players in exchange for him. who will
in Mr.. Dovey's mind. strengthen the
Boston team. 49,. f. ..-..s

TO STOP DOPING. 7
Radical Action Will Be Taken By,Ken.
lucky Racing Commission. i5:

Lexington. Key. July 22.-Doping
horses on Kentucky race tracks will
soon be thing Of the past. At the next
meeting of the State Racing Commits
sion a rule will be adopted giving the
commission the power to appoint all
race track officials, including the
judges, and veterinary to work in the
saddle paddock to look after the horses.
AT the spring races at Louisville and
I.atOnia, it was charged that doping
was practised among the trainers and
owners. At meeting of the racing COM
mission last spring rule was passed
asking the judges to be watchful. Dur
ing the Latonia meeting members of
the commission saw that doping was
being continued.
There is a strong sentiment in this
state against racing horses, and the
members of the commission realize
that the time is at hand to have the
sport clean and healthy. for the min
listers are organized to make a fight in
the next Legislature to pass a bill that
Will prohibit racing altogether.

TORNADO At LOUISVILLE
THREE PERSONS KILLED AND
GREAT DAMAGE DONE.
Buildings Wrecked and Shade Trees
Frustrated by Wind-Indiana
Towns Also Suffer.

Louisville, KY, July 10.-A terrific
wind storm which burst upon the city
shortly before five o'clock Tuesday
afternoon brought death to one man
and two boys and injury to several
other persons.
Many Horses and mules were killed,
buildings unroofed, smaller structures
blown down and unprecedented dam
age done to shade trees all over the
city. The records of the weather bu-
reau show that the maximum velocity
of the wind was 6S miles an hour
during the height of the storm and
the wind blew at the rate of 60 miles
for is minutes. Several streets are
impossible for blocks owing to the
trees which litter the roadways.
Street car service was suspended for
several hours.
Both telephone companies report a
serious interruption to their service.
No advices have been received from
the surrounding country owing to the
prostration of wires. Jeffersonville,
Ind, across the river, escaped the full
force OF the blow, but the damage to
property in New Albany is estimated
at $50,000, the heaviest loss being sus-
tanned by the Ohio Falls Iron COM
pany. Three churches and one
schoolhouse were unroofed in New
Albany

WIRE COMBINE IS
DENIED BY MACKAY
SAYS THE TWO COMPANIES ARE
FIERCE COMPETITORS.
AT LAW ALL THE TIME
President Of the Postal Cites Fights
Over Railroad Rights Of Way
and Union Depots to Prove
His Statement.

New York, July 10.-Clarence
Mackay, president of the Postal Tele.
graph & Cable company, declared
Tuesday that "all this talk about the
Western Union Telegraph company
and the Postal Telegraph & Cable
company working in harmony is non
sense"
II two companies ever competed In
the United States, he said, these two
companies are competing, and the
competitionnis Is fierce and bitter. Mr..
Mackay's statements were made in
commenting upon the action of At
torney General William S. Jackson,
of New York, who asked a justice of
the New York state supreme court to
appoint referee TO secure evidence
that the Western Union and Postal
companies have formed combina-
tion in restraint of competition.
Statement by MIR. Mackay.
Mr.. Mackay said:
III two companies ever competed
in the United States, these two tele-
graph companies are competing and
always have been. At times the COM
petition is even fierce and bitter.
Every merchant and manufacturer in
the United States, wherever we reach,
will bear witness to the truth of this
statement.
I'VE are litigating with the Western
Union all over the country in regard
to railroad rights of way. In fact, the
tremendous fight between the Penn
sylvania railroad and the Western
Union was due solely to the fact that
we got that business away from the
Western Union.
Fight over Union Depots.
"The Western Union is trying to
exclude us from all union depots and
has Just succeeded In excluding us
from the Birmingham union depot,
which is perhaps the finest union
depot in this country at present, and
we intend to take that matter into
the courts to set aside the contract
between the birmingham union depot
and the Western Union"
Mr.. Mackay called attention to the
cable to Cuba which the Postal com.
pany is now laying, to its Atlantic
cables, land lines and a new route
which, he said, the company is about
to construct through the Nevada gold
fields to the Pacific coast, as evidence
of that company's competition with
the Western Union. He added:
We are the only company that
ever did really compete with the
Western Union and succeed in doing
So"
