CHICAGO, Aug. ball players
consider 1t a rare privilege to par
ticipate in single series for the
worlds championship.
A few have been fortunate
enough to take part in such
struggles. But what of the athlete
who qualities in3 and still stands
in line for the fourth?
If you think this is record to be
proud of then tip your hat to Geo.
Davis, veteran shortstop of the Chi
cago White Sox. He is the only
active player to turn the trick.
1t was ii years ago that Davis
first heard the call play ball" in
the first game of the series between
Cleveland and Boston for the
worlds championship. Davis guard
ed the third sack for Cleveland. He
had been playing year or two in
the big league and was accounted
a star among such diamond heroes
as Clarkson, Kelly, Bennett, Nash,
McAleer and Cy Young.
Cleveland did not cop the series,
but all the games were closely con-
tested, and it was his play that
gave Davis the reputation that he
has handled with care ever since.
Two years later he was found
playing with New York when that
club FLASHED with Muggsy Nc
Graw's Baltimore team in the Tenn
pie cup games. Many present day
fans recall that momentous series.
Despite the efforts of the Baltimore
mobs, New York captured the
championship with the assistance
mainly of Rusie and Meekin, who
moved down the opposing bats
men amid showers of epithets and
more tangible missiles. Davis
played the game Of his life.
And everybody remembers the
strenuous combat of last year. 1t

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. L.
Should an enemy strike at the Paci-
fic coast today, our Notifications
would be no more than walls Of
mud.
The war scare has revealed the
most astounding facts.
Six months ago man would
have been declared lunatic who
= dared to assert that the whole de-
lenses Of the Pacific coast were
only one-quarter manned; that in
case Of war the guns, for lack of
gunners, could not be elevated,
loaded, aimed and fired, and even
more-that there were whole bat
teries Of modern disappearing guns
not even attended.
This is amazing today, but 1t Is
true.
The present defenses of the Pa
cific coast are undermined at
least rs per cent, and there are at
this moment splendid batteries of
great guns, costing enormous sums,
absolutely unnamed, and plugged
with grease and left to stand for
month after month, not even ever
having been used for drill purposes.
The government Is working with
feverish haste In an attempt to
cover the acknowledgement of the
past.

heavy hitting came early and dis

NELSON'S FINISH

Jimmy Britt secured a 20-round
decision over Battling Nelson last
night at San Francisco. The Bat
tiers showing was poor. The eff
fects of the AZ round beating he re-
ceived from Joe Cans was evident
in his wildnerr and lack of punch
all through. He carried the fight
to Britt in his old way, but hadn't
force Or steam enough to overcome
the agility of the clever Californian,
who met his man with excellent
blocking and footwork.
Near the end of the last round
Britt landed heavy rights and lefts
on the Battler's head, which made
him WOODY and had the round last
ed longer would have meeant his
finish by the knockout route.
The betting favored Nelson 10 to
6 and his defeat and poor showing
were distinct surprises.
There was little betting on the
bout outside Frisco. In Spokane
not more than $500 was bet in
small money. Prevailing odds, Of
fered by Ed Shelton principally,
were 10 to Z.
The crowd was one of the largest
ever seen in Frisco, due probably
to a belief that the contest was the
last of the professional game.
Comps" sent to city supervisors
which had always before been ac-
cepted were returned.
Joe Cans challenged the winner.
He stepped into the ring attired in
a tuxedo and an opera hat. When
Britt entered the ring for introduce
ton he was in his street clothes.
Nelson followed him attired in bat
Ting toys.

crept up slowly; but they were not
adequately manned as they pro-
crossed. San Francisco Is a little
better off than her neighbors,
though not mucn.
The alarming weakness of the
Puget sound forts, while known in
official circles, has never been al
lowed to get beyond them. This
refers particularly to Forts Flagler,
Casey and Worden, at the entrance
of the sound. Upon the strength of
these forts depends the safety of
Seattle and her sister cities.
Today at Forts Flagler, Casey
and ,Worden there are, by actual
count. just one-fourth enough expe-
rienced men to operate the guns.
There are both mortar batteries
and big guns.
Stranger still, there are batteries
in the vicinity Of the 3 forts that
cost enormous sums. They have
never been manned since they were
first constructed. This is especially
true of 2 splendid batteries of dis
appearing high-caliber guns, in po-
sition to command the entrance to
the sound.
Conditions are almost as bad all
up and down the coast.
The government, stung into &C.
tivity either by the war cloud or
the loud protests of the people of
the west coast, is now undertaking
to do what 1t can to remedy this
weakness. Without commotion and
as quietly as possible, the state
militia, the members of the national
guard. are being collected at the
Preside and at the Puget sound

PARSON SCORES THE RICH

CHAUTAUGUA, N. Y, Aug. l.
What right have we to luxury
while others starve in the sight of
plenty?" asked Rev. Charles Fred

here. Christianity cannot rest
while men and women are robbed
of their right to happiness and rest.
While poverty remains and evil

Many Fires Of Late

In this dry country fires are
prevalent, especially this season OF
the year. Water is scarce IN al
most every instance and if fire
breaks out it means total loss to
the owner. Property holders can
not afford to take the risk when
Fire Insurance comes so cheap. A
dwelling house can be insured for
three years for the nominal sum of
Sl.S0 on the 500 and if you are
burned cut you will get back $500
or $1,000 or any amount you insure
for agreeable to the valuation of
your property. For reliable in
surance see Andrew Kimball. Tele'

met with painful accident While
driving in the north part of SAT-

when the front wheels suddenly
went down into a deep ditch and
he was thrown off in front of the

missed him, but a bolt in the axle
caught him in the back and drag
ged him little distance, doubling
him up in painful manner. He
was badly bruised in many parts
of the body, and his kidneys also
were somewhat injured by the
severe concussion. DR.. Warner

he has suffered considerable pain,
he was progressing favorably yes

Refuse 20 work NOn-tniOn wires and Climb

ST. LOUIS, Aug. i0.-The operators Of
the Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies in this city and vicinity struck
this afternoon following the refusal Of
operators OF the two companies to work
with non-union men in cities where strikes
are or.
The strike at the Western Union came
at 40. following a resolution Of the local
unions executive board that the men
would not be required to work with unfair
Offices. At the Postal the walkout did not
occur until $40. As fast as operators in
the Postal's main Office refused to work
n%on-union wires they were transferred by
the chief operator to union wires.
Finally "a n~on-union operator h re-
fused. as he said, to "scab" was discharged
and this was followed by a general walk
out. Only two operators remained.
Pickets stationed at the doors Of the two
main offices turned the night shift OF men
back as fast az they appeared. There
was no disorder.
The Western Union superintendent here.
after the walkout. said that the mpa
employed from $50 TO $50 operators in this
city and that seventy-tive persons would
send messages tonight. There were but
two persons at work there at the time.
The superintendent said the girls had got
scared when the men quit. but that they
would return after lunch. The Postal's
superintendent said his company employed
from hTty to 200 operators and that fifteen
were still sending messa ges. These, it is
understood, are mostly chiefs.
Ii IL learned that the Omaha and Sioux
City Western Union and Postal operators
struck tonight.
