THE STORY OF THE ELUSIVE
MEMORY.

There was once dear old gentle
man who had no memory worth men,
tioning He rarely knew what his
own name was until he had consulted
the corner of his pocket-handkerchief.
In the street he met a beautiful
woman. She had swelled eyes and .
great deal of crepe. He remembered
whom she was, and that was a proud
moment for him. So he saluted her.
And how is your husband?" he
asked.
He is dead" sobbed the poor
woman.
Sorry" said the old gentleman, and
went his way.
A month later he met her again.
And how is your husband?" he
asked, eagerly.
"You have forgotten" she said, Sc.
yerely. HE is dead"
Sorry" said the old gentleman, and
went his way.
A month later he met the woman
again and chatted cheerfully with her
about the weather.
by Inc way, ne ADDED, and how Is
your husband?"
He's still Dead" she said.
This impressed him. The woman
became associated in his mind with
one idea. month later he ran after
her in the street to ask her anxiously
how her husband was.
Quite well, thank you," said the
woman beaming. We're Just back
from the honeymoon"
Moral.-Love is stronger than death.
But death lasts the longest.
The Poor Poet.
fhe poet has no easy task
When laurels he would wins
He has to turn his poem out
Before he turns TO in
And when he has. his verses pennsd.
There seems to be no doubt
AS soon as he has turned 'em in
Some one will turn him out.

No GAME HERE
WITH TORONTO
THIS AFTERNOON
Wet Grounds Caused StaIIings
to Call Off the
Game.

Again the Tigers were obliged to re-
main in the jungle today owing, this
time to the fact that ii rained so hard
yesterday. The grounds were not fit
to allow a game to be played and
rather than try to draw out the fans
and have a poor game result from
ground conditions, Manager Stalings
decided to call the game this afternoon
off full of hope that the weather
would permit game tomorrow and
Sunday.
With good weather tomorrow and the
day following the local fans ought to
see two fast games. Manager Stallings
will be at liberty to use any of his best
twirlers. for they have all had several
days rest. It Pardee is kept for Sun
day this would prevent him from open
ing the game at Buffalo next Monday,
and probably Al will be sent in tomor-
row and saved for Mondays game.
In any event it doesn't matter much
for the Tigers which of the pitchers are
sent in to work these two games here
with Toronto. Kid Miller is as good as
any of the box men, and he showed
that he can use his head with proper
coaching.
Tom Hughes may be called upon, and
if he does the Tigers will leave their
lair for the road Sunday pretty near
the top of the column.

DONLTN'S FINE
HAS NOT BEEN PAID.

CINCINNATI, May S--Garry Herr
mann, chairman, and John f. Bruce,
secretary, of the national commission,
are warbling a sweet little ditty these
days, entitled Waiting for a. Check"
The check should be for $1O0 and will
wipe out the fine plastered on Mike
Donlin, of the New York National
League team, for last summers sojourn
with James j. Callahan's Windy City
Robin Hoods. If Sir Mike does not
send the amount shortly Hermann
may be forced to use drastic measures
TO collect. Donlin has had plnety of
time in which to pay the $100, but
thus far the commission has not heard
from Mike or from the New York club.
Donlin was fined at the same time as
Garland Stahl, of the New York Ameri-
cans, and President Ban Johnson, of
the American League, at once sent
Hermann a check for $100, and wrote
to Frank Farrell to deduct this sum
from Stahl's first salary check. Unless
Donlin pays his fine at once Hermann
will take unpleasant steps to collect
the $100, and Garry, being pleasant
does not want to do so.

THONEY INJURIES ARM
AND HAS TO QUIT.

BOSTON, May S.-"Bullett" Jack
Thoney, the Red Sox fielder, who has
made such a hit with the local fans, is
out of the game for an indefinite
period. He threw out his arm in the
last game with Philadelphia and in
yesterdays game hestore the ligaments
loose. Manager Mcclure said tonight
he was afraid Thoney would be out
of the game for weeks, if not for the
whole season. Thoney tonight was
hurried to Youngstown, O., where he
will be under the care of a famous
specialist. who gives particular atten-
tion to such cases.
Walter Carlisle, the fast outfielder
from Los Angeles, gets a chance to
win his spurs with the Red Sox
through Thoney's injuries. Mcguire
said last night he would put him in
the game today. While Carlisle is a
good man. Thoney win be a distinct
loss to the team. He is the fastest

just Another Letter.
Old Sport;
Dear Sir-I read your article recently
about Hurley and Tommy Murphy,
and I was careful to note that you
said this: IF Hurley waits another
year before tackling Murphy he will
have better chance against the Har-
lem boy than he had the other night
Now, | take from this that you have
nc great fear in your own mind of
Tommy Murphy ever becoming a
champion. Am I right in my conjec-
lures? If I am, how do you figure out
that Murphy will never reach his de-
sire to be the champion lightweight of
the world? j. ABB.
Well, l didn't think ] would be called
so soon, for I prided myself that I had
covered the little extraction made by
j. Alb. and meant to let it go for the
present. But the answer must come
out l suppose, and the sooner the bet
ter for the writer of the above letter.
Tcmmy Murphy, J. Alb, will never fill
Joe Gans's shoes. His fighting day is
new, and he cannot seem to go any
higher. What will he do when the
years are added on his shoulders.
Murphy is peculiarly constructed
fighting engine. He cannot stand any
rcugh-house work, and he has met
with so many accidents that he has
been dubbed the unlucky fighting kid.
There are many reasons why Murphy
will never be top notcher, and mean
champion. There are many boys whom
he can prevent from gaining the light
weight crown, but take Cans away,
and then I will shove in his place this
Packey Mcfarland boy, whom Tommy
side-stepped last summer when the
Harlem boy broke a small bone in his
leg
But more, j. Alb, about this later.
Please Send a Stamp.

In fact, he has been a dead one ever
since he tried to whip Jim Jeffries, and
he almost whipped Jeffries then, but
jeff won first, and in the first punch,
Munroe was dead before he entered the

satisfy you. But if you mean dead in

money enough to buy nails from a
hardware store to erect a ring. Through
the kindness of a friend rope was bor-
rowed and nails were secured, and a
ring was made. The theatre was hired
on the friends name, and the match
was made. Cans was to knock out
Watson in ten rounds or else forfeit
$780, to be taken in at the door

Watson not only stayed the required
number of rounds, but gave Cans one
of the hardest arguments he had re-

row when Cans tried to hedge on his
agreement, and while the two mon were
on the stage the late Austin Gibbons

articles of agreement to the crowded
house, and Watson got his money, and
a defeat should have been chalked up
against Cans. How surprised was |
