p ENNSYLvANIA RAILROAD
JUNE ON THE GREAT LAKES.
BULLRTIN.

Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there Is
no trip like that on the Great Lakes. those inland seas which
form the border line between the United States and Canada.
And June is one of the most charming months in the year in
which to take the trip.
For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Anchor
Line have no superiors. AS wel-appointed as the palatia1
ocean greyhounds which pillow the Atlantic, their schedule
allows sufficient time at all stopping places to enable the
traveller to see something of the great lake cities and to view in
daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the
scenery which frames them.
The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake
thence through Lake Huron, the locking of the steamer
through the great locks at the 500, and the passage of the
Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper end of
Michigan, are novel and interesting features.
The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven
hundred miles in the FIVE days journey. Leaving Buffalo,
the steamships Juniata and Tionesta make stops at Erie,
Cleveland, Detroit Mackinac Island, the 500. Marquette,
Houghton and Hancock, and Duluth.
The 1908 season opens on June 10, when the Steamer
Tionesta will make her first sailing from Buffalo.
The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the high
standard set by the STANDARD Railroad of America.
An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates of steamers.
rates of fare and other information, is in course of preparation,
and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylvania
Railroad Ticket Agent, who is also prepared to book passen-
gers who may desire to take this trip through the Great
Lakes and back.

FEW OF old SCHOOL OF
FIGHTERS NOW LIVING

actly the same thing. But after the
fighter loses he takes to the poison cup
of booze and in a short time his friends
know that as far as the fighting game is
concerned he is no more.
Poor Jack Dempsey. Consumption is
blamed for his taking away. But poor
Jack, the noblest of all the Romans,
died of a broken heart. This was
brought on by the dregs of the cup thai
sometimes cheer for a little while, but
which always brings misery. Jack saw
his name and his glory decaying in the
pugilistic horizon and he couldn't stand
it. He had a stanch friend in Troy
named Jack Fox, who kept a cafe, and
there would Jack go to kill time and
listen to the praises of his few friends
on his past deeds.
Dempsey was a fighter pure and sim
pie, and he came from fighting stock.
But when he saw his seconds throw up
the token of defeat in his last fight, his
heart left him and his ambition died in
his breast He was crushed and he
went rapidly through life until the
greatest of all referees and the surest
of all counters tolled off the last Sec
onds, and poor Jack went over the route
which we must all travel sooner. or
later.
With Dempsey went the roses of re-
spect and the lilies of sweet remem~
brance. Around his grave should be
ever kept the sweet for-get-me-nots.
Some one should drop an acorn so hat
the stoutest Of all members of the forest
could grow along side of his tomb and
keep the shades of memory green.
There was one Jack Dempsey and
there will never be another. His niche
in the gallery of pugilists can never be
filled. He was stout of heart while
fighting and while out of the ring had
the sympathies of a woman. If every
man and woman for whom Dempsey
did a charitable act while in his heyday
of success would only cast a tear on his
grave the floodgates of sorrow would
indicate the extent of the kindly feeling
left behind by this clever fighter.

STANLEY KETCHEL
AND BILL PAPKE
FIGHT ON TONIGHT
Two Great Middleweights TO
Clash at Milwaukee for
Championship. T

MILWAUKEE,, June ALL roads
lead to Milwaukee, and today the
Cream City is buzzing with the noise
of the fight fans. The names of Biry
Papke and Stanley Ketchel VIII be on
every lip and little else will be heard
These two great fighters meet at tie
big Hippodrome for the middleweight
championship of the world tonight.
The men are in grand condition for
the contest If outward appearances and
the confidence of their managers count
for anything. They are ready for what
they know will be the toughest battle
of thoir lives, and both are prepared
to go and fight to the limit of their
powers.
Papke broke camp at Silver Lake
yesterday and spent last night in Mil
waukee. He was kept away from the
crowds who wanted to get a glimpse
of the Illinois Thunderbolt, and was
hustled to bed early by Manager Jones'.
Ketchel put in the day at his train
ing quarters on the Whitefish bay road,
and when he went to bed last night
expressed himself as well satisfied with
his conditioning. Ketchel has been at
rather a disadvantage. He arrived in
Milwaukee ten days ago. He was high
in flesh, but it came off easily, and
his manager, Joe O'Connor, said that
he had been under the required weight,
154 pounds, for several days.

Schreyer, the Sensational Cy-
clist, to Appear at Olympic
Park on Saturday.
The limit and over the limit!

The limit and over the limit!
Olympic Park has secured the great
est sensation of the year.
People who have been watching the
thrillers in cycling and automobile acts
recently staged have thought that the
limit was reached when trick riders
did the loop-the loop in automobiles,
but it took Daredevil" Schreyer to
go over the limit. His act is more than
q thriller. OF those who nave tried to
initiate him, Schreyer says: "They sim
ply make a little more work for the
undertaken; they go to their death be-
fore their time"
Schreyer's act consists of a dash
down an inclined plane 200 feet long
and 125 feet from the ground, over a
dip that throws him into the air, a leap
through space of 165 feet and dive into
a pool of water three feet deep. The
pool is so situated that a deviation of a
raction of an inch in his ride down the
plane would mean that the daring per-
former would be dashed to pieces on
the ground by the side of the tank.
"Dare-Devil' Schreyer has thrilled
hundreds of thousands in all parts OF
Europe and has just returned from a
long engagement there. His first ap-
pearance in this country in several
years will be at Olympic Park, where
he will give his first engagement Satur-
day afternoon at 8 o'clock. He has
been secured by the management of the
park at a tremendous expense, and will
be seen but three times each week
Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday art
moons.
Schreyer and his apparatus arrived
at the park today and he is engaged in
experimenting the construction of the
great plane and the digging of the pool.
Schreyer was seen at the park today
| and in an Interview with an EVENING
STAR reporter told why he became a
daredevil"
you ask me why 1 became a dare
devil? Well, in a sense, / never ecam
one, for a daredevil I was born. From
the first I delighted in n feat that
called for a steady head and nerve. and
even as a child l had absolute conf
dence in myself.
But, so far as my professional work
is concerned, | became a daredevil
purely by chance. My original ambi-
ton was to be a champion cyclist, and
as a youth 1 did a lot of racing near
my home in Pennsylvania.
'However, although / won many
prizes, I could not get any bicycle firm
to back me, and without substantial
backing you cannot do much good in
the cycle world. Probably / should
have abandoned racing and never beer
heard of at all but for going to ride at
4 big fair at San Francisco,
among the features of this fair was
a water chute and one afternoon l was
standing by it when the manager. who
knew l could do pretty well anything
on my bicycle, half in joke, half il
earnest, dared me to chute the chute or
my machine.
Il took him up and successfully did il
there and then, although | had never
attempted anything of the kind before
This exploit was considered wonderful
al the time. and. introducing improve
ments and variations on the origina
performance, l found myself a draw
and became a professional dare-devil.
"As already said, l shot the chute

without any practise beforehand, and
thai has been the case with all my
feats since then.
do l ever feel nervous? No, ana
you can safely bet your bottom dollar
that I shall give up the business for
ever the moment L do. At the same
time, in the dive, compared with which
looping the loop was child's play, my
faculties-I won't say nerves-for l Go
not possess any-are strained to the
highest pitch. In looping the loop there
was only one mark-the middle n on
the track-to watch, and provided one
kept the machine straight, momentum
was bound to carry one around.
"Butsin my dive [ have to watch and
pick up no fewer than ten marks dur
ing the lightning descent and flight;
have to keep the narrow rack whilst
pedaling as hard as 1 can, and my
reaching the tank depends, not only
on momentum, but on the accuracy OF
my take off from the machine. Finally,
I must strike the tank at the proper
angle. or injure myself more or less
badly"

New York Fans Hope to See
Both Teams at Head of

NEW YORK, June 4.-Beginning to-
day and until June &c the fans will
have the Giants at the Polo Grounds
and satisfy themselves with reading
about he adventures of the Highland
ers in the wild and Yoly West.
The astute schedule committee of the
National League has provided, as pros
pective victims for McCraw's bunch, or
conquerors, as the case may be, the
following teams in the order named:
st. Louis, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chi
cago and Boston. Each club will play
a series of four games.
In their trip abroad Grifith's war
riors will do battle on diamonds in the
following cities in the order named:
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis
and Philadelphia. The series in all the
cities but Chicago will be for four
games each. FIVE are scheduled With
Comiskey's White Sox. The High
landers go away in third position, with
an average of .526, but a defeat or so
at Cleveland, the initial stop, is en-
tremely liable to throw them into t-o
second division, especially if the De-
troits and Browns are fortunate. Both
these teams are only a single point be-
hind the tourists in the percentage
table. They have a rough row to hoe
to keep in the initial division.
With any sort of decent luck Nc
Graw's outfit should jump from leading
the second division to a position with
in striking distance of the Cubs. Only
rs points separate them from the Pr
rates, and three games on the right
side of the ledger will make them all
to the merry.

Tigers GIee Club.
This morning as the train pulled out
of the shed on lower Broad street Tom
Hughes and the rest of the Tigers
choral singing society started up a
song $50 Long, Mary" l don't know
the girl, but whoever she is h was
we'll remembered by the choristers.
The singing in parts, four l believe, al
though / couldn't distinguish one, kept
the rest of the train occupants in good
humor, and the horseshoe of good
wishes was handed the bunch when
they started over the B. and o. We
weren't very far out before some one
suggested bridge, and the chasm of
lonesomeness was bridged. 1t is all
right our on the road if you have h a
old fellow LUCK I spoke of with you.
AS the gang says, when things are
breaking right everything is lovely, but
when they are not then you can guess
the rest.
IL Is a Playful Gang.
All sorts of pranks are INDUCED in
when the ball players are away from
home. The colored porter enters the
car and one of the Tigers asks him to
bring the card table. The porter starts off
after 1t and another of the Tigers calls
to him. "Neyer mind. l have changed
my mind" The fellow who asked for
the table sits waiting, but the porter
never comes, and when the fellow who
wanted it goes after the negro and is
cold that he, the player, said he didn't
want it, there is trouble. 1t is soon
smoothed over, however, and then an
other prank is resorted to. 1t is such
byplays as this hat brought the Tigers
into Baltimore this afternoon.

as he can get that control thing.
Neuer has everything that any pitcher
in the country today possesses. He has
an idea that his south slant delivery is
the best, instead of using another mo-
ton. He wants to be a side wheeler,
but he seems to forget that in using
this motuo he cannot find the plate.
His absence is felt because he was al
ways the life of every gathering on the
road. Maybe he will come back, who
