SAW MILL BURNED.
Third Plant Belonging to nr. d. n
Lower DESTROYED.

For the third time in as many years
Mr. D. NJ Lower, of near Mountain
Lake Park, has suffered the loss of saw
mills by fire, the last and probably the
the most serious conhagation occurring
last Saturday night when his mill as
well as $4,000 feet of manufactured
oak, chestnut and other lumber being
consumed.
Mr.. Lower stated Tuesday morning
that the mill was operated until in the
afternoon of Saturday when he had to
close down on account of the lack of
water and that the origin of the blaze
was likely due to a spark alighting on
the roof of the mill which set it on fire.
The loss will be $1,000 with no insur-
ance.

is one of the gamest little men that ever
put on glove in this city. Up until the
finish of the battle Burns had all the
better of the argument and fought WIN
much skill; in fact, he showed an i'm
provement in his work over his previous
battles with the little Washington boxer
1t was the third time that they had met
in the local arena. the first battle being
termed d draw at the expiration of f1f-
teen rounds while in the next clashlng
Burns turned the trick on Sullivan by
getting the verdict after the same limit
Last nights mill was enjoyed by
crowd that packed the playhouse. Burns
was very clever and had the punch with
him It seemed wonderful how Sullivan
withstood the hard wallops to the stom-
ach. 1t was Burns main forte to send
in a right to the body and then send
over left to the face.
In the fourth round Burns put over
his LETT on Sullivans jaw and turned
him completely around. Sullivan dis
PLAYED sparks of his old form in the
early part of each round. but toward
the middle Burns would have the Kid
going and do the milling At no time
ried. he was cool and always awaited
his opportunity to send over a haymaker.
The local light weight looked much
stronger last night than for a long time.
He did not take off much weight
in his other bouts, where he was making
weight. and this seemed to do him lot
of good. His blows looked hard and more
effective. Manager Al Herford. who was
the boss of the ceremonies, announced
that the two had weighed in at 133
pounds at 3 o'clock and were under the
weight. Abe Cllman was the referee
and the former heavyweight boxer was
received with approval.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 1s.-"Do Won

pitcher being too true?" asked Long
Tom Hughes of the Nationals TODAY. ct
haven't hit batter this year and / am
paying penalty for it in getting beat in
these 1 to and to l games. I ought
to win. 1 am not in favor of this thing
Of aiming the ball at batter's head to
drive him away from the plate, but in
these days of low scores. when every
thing almost depends on the man in the
box, it sometimes becomes almost i'm
perative.
Let pitcher once get a reputation
for keeping the ball over the heart of
the plate and the batters will hear all
about it quickly enough. You will see
them coming UP there like little majors,
fairly embracing the plate in the knowl-
edge that they are practically insured
against a crack on the head or in the
ribs.
Last year 1 hit two men with the
ball. One was Claud Rossman. He had
Rugged the plate until it became exas-
perating in the extreme. and so l shot
one at his cap He lodged just in time
to escape a good headache and the ball
hit his shoulders. I didn't want to do

the plate for good long while.
IT'S all right. this thing OF having
perfect control, as Cy Young. Addie Joss

After Berger had thrown out Freeman

sacrificed. but Milan was nipped by
fine pickup and throw by Lajoe ,ele
Berger was safe on McBride's error. but
Clarke flied to Pickering, who also
squeezed Brad.s long fly.

man was out at third.

Bride drove out a fine single: Smith sac

Smiths Good Judgment.
1t was in this inning that Smith did
his best work. Berger hit safely. Smith
forced Josh Clarke to hit the ball and he
flied to Ganley. Bradley forced Berger
and then stole second. Smith deliberately
passed both Lajoie and Mig Clarke. pre-
ferring to take chances with Hinchman.
1t was good judgment. for big Bill hit to
Mcbride and was out at first.
In the eleventh Delehanty was out on
a surprising pickup and throw by Brad
ley. Pickering lined TO Birmingham.
Josh Clarke muffed Altizer's fly, but
Dawes attempt to steal was fatal Then
came Hickmans drive to the centerfield
corner. which any other batter would
easily have circed the bases, and Biz
minham's single that won the game.
The game was played in bitter cold
weather and with a baby gale from off
Lake Erie bowling across the park. Furs
and overcoats We're conspicuous in the
grand stand, while the bleacherites
sought the sun spots and shivered like
so many men suffering with ague
Milan's catch of Mig Clarke's line in
the second was the star play of the game.
The drive was ticketed for the fence and
would surely have given Mig three bases.
There is still chance that Cantillon will
turn over one of his pitchers to the Maps.
There was a long conference at the Cleve
land clubs headquarters on the subject
