FATALLY GORED
BY A CARABAO

News of the death of Mr. Wolf, a
pioneer of the American merchants
in Manila, has already been given in
this paper. The manner of his death
was peculiarly tragic, paralleling the
thrilling conflicts between man and
brute described by some nature story
writer's. The following particulars are
from the Manila Cabenews-American
of the dates given:
October 27.-At a late hour last
evening George Wolf of the firm OF
Castle Brothers-Wolf & Sons was re-
ported to be resting easy though suf-
fering with a high fever as a result
of the infection of the severe wounds
received from a goring by a carabao.
Mr.. Wolf received his injuries dur
ing a snipe hunt in Laguna. He and
party of hunters were near Calamba
when the Infatuated animal made the
attack which nearly cost Mr.. Wolf his
life. It was while stalking the covey
of birds they hoped to bag that the
carabao made his onslaught and was
almost upon his intended victim be-
| fore he was noticed Mr.. Henry Chan
dler who was nearby shouted in warn
ing.
Seeing the danger he was in, Mr..
Wolf boldly seized the brute by the
horns and hung on in the hope that
shot from one of his companions
would dispatch the animal. MIR.
Chandler came forward to execute the
carabao but his gun was not powerful
enough to carry out his purpose. The
wounds inflicted however caused him
to draw off and Mr.. Wolf, bleeding
profrsely from a severe wound in his
right leg, was raised from the ground
and taken at once to Los Banos where
he was attended to by DR.. McVean
As soon as transportation could be Sc
cured he was brought to Manila ant
removed to the st. Paul's hospta
where he is under the care of DR.. Nc
Dill.
He is very weak from the loss Of
blood and worn down by the fevei
but it is believed that he will soor
rally.
October 31.-George 2. Wolf passed
away in st. Pauls hospital a few min
utes before ten o'clock yesterday
morning. The most shrewd, the mos
big-hearted, the first and by far thu
most successful of the pioneer Anne
rican merchants of the Philippines ha'
been called from the community il
which he labored so well while in thu
very flower of his manhood. His pass
ing hence has awakened deep and gen
eral regret in Manila, particular!
among the mercantile body. whicl
knew him best. He was cut off at tn
! very moment when it was though
that he had passed the crisis and wa

NEW YORK, June 23.-J. d. Whit

team, which sails next Saturday. The
official announcement was made yes

Dray announced some time ago that
he could not go, owing to pressing
business engagements. He was entered
in the pole vault, and was looked upon

feet 9% inches. Whitman, who was en-

PUTS
AWAY MANSFIELD
IN THIRD ROUND
Boston Middleweight Knocks
Oat Australian in Jig
Time.

NEW YORK, June 23.-With two
well-directed right-hand swings Larry
Connolly ended the lighting aspirations
of Harry Mansfield, of Australia, last
night in the third round of the star
bout at the Bedford A. c. Mansfield
halls from Australia, the home Of Bill
Squires, who came here heralded as a
world beaten, but who slipped home
under cover.
Mansfield was touted as a coming
champion, and when he entered the
ring the spectators figured upon seeing
a great battle. Their hopes were rudely
shattered in the first part of the OPEN
ing round, for Mansfield had left all
his science back in the bushes. He
tried to put up a good fight, but was
unable.
In the first and second rounds Con-
molly felt out his opponent. and had his
measure when the bell called them to
the centre of tAe ring for the third.
Connolly started after the invader and
had him in great distress, and when
Mansfield backed to his corner the
Yankee drew back, sent over the dou-
BILE haymaker, and one more seeker
after honors in this country went down
to defeat.

sence will weaken the American team
to quite an extent.
At a conference of the American
committee yesterday it was decided not
to take any men on the supplemental
list. These men can, however, go along
at their own expense, and it is likely
that several will make the trip.
1t was learned late last night that
Robbins, of Yale, would go at his own
expense, and that Horn, of the Irish
American A. c., would also a his
own way.
With the exception of Ralph Rose
and S. H. Bellah, al 1.-THE members of
the American team are now in the
city. Rose and Bellah left California for
New York last night, and will be on
hand when the steamer Philadelphia
sails on Saturday.
There is ak of having the American
team compete in a final try~out at
Celtic Park next Friday afternoon. 1t
is thought that in this way enough
money could be raised to take some of
the supplemental list. The athletes
now in the city favor the idea, claiming
that it will give them a little NEEDED
practise before sailing.
James F.. Sullivan was in communi-
cation with Barlow S. Weeks and Man
ager Halpin yesterday. just what the
cable dispatch read could not be
learned, but from good authority 1t was
to the effect that Tom Longboat, the
Indian runner, is surely barred.

MAY THROW OUT
TORRINGTON RECORDS.

NEW HAVEN, June 23.-The record
committee in charge of the track games
in Torrington, Saturday, have reported
to the A. A. u. in favor of ruling out
both the worlds records made by NJ.
r Horn, of Syracuse University, and
by John Flanagan, of New York, who
competed under the auspices of the
New York Athletic Club. Both were
found to be short.
The measurements Saturday showed
that Flanagan had thrown the ham
mer 175 feet IL inches, and that Horr
had thrown the discus 142 feet IA
inches. Flanagan's record was found
to be nine inches short when meas
ured by the record committee, making
His net throw ia feet 41a inches. AS
Flanagan's record before this was ia
feet I inches, his throw of ia feet 412
inches will stand, if accepted by the
A. A. T.. at their mex meeting. Horrs
record was found to be ~ inches short,
but his net throw Of 142 feet will be
enough to stand as a new record if ac-
oepted by the A. A. U.

if you win. It's loyalty just the same.
Ball players risk their lives daily in
their profession. just as does a diver
when he goes about his toll in the dan
gerous depths below the surface of the
water or a "Steeple jack as he swings
upon his loft high above ground. The
danger on a ball field MAY not be as
great, but the risk is there.
Many a ball player has lost his life
in a game and many more have been
injured. Not so long ago Tom Burke,
an outfielder of the Lynn team in the
New England League. was killed by be-
ing hit by a ball thrown by Pitcher
Jaeger. Last season Bud Sharpe, cap
tain of the Newark team. was badly
injured in a similar manner. 1t was a
ball pitched by Tom Hughes, now a
member of the Tigers. that laid Sharpe
low for several weeks.
There have been hundreds of other
instances where ball players lives have
been imnerilled. Just stop for a mo-
ment and consider these facts, and then
perhaps you will not hurl curses at a
player for daring to make such a thing
as an error or failing to make a hit
with q mar on base.

When it is said, as it has been time
and again, that ball players are mortal
beings and apt to make a mistake or
fail to accomplish the proper thing at
the proper moment, it may sound like
so many empty words. l know that
every fan is eager to see his home
team win, win somehow, not only be-
cause he paid his little mite to see the
game, but also because of the glory
that goes with victory.
Those ball players whom you knock
and abuse for falling down in a pinch
are just as eager to win as you specta-
tors. More so, in fact. Their reputation
and salaries are at stake, besides the
natural loyalty they have for their re-
spective clubs.

Not he. Schahy is a ball player by

Eurekas, is a great batter. -Four hits
in Sundays game against st. Benedict,
and with Kid Hayes, in the box, too.
Someone in authority should take
steps to stop boys from selling cheap
lemonade at the different open-lot ball
games.
You never read much about the fell
low who umpires all these games that
are played about the lots. There are
many of them very good but, like the
real article, they come in for a lot of
abuse.
Great interest is now centred in the
schoolboy league championship. The
rivalry is very keen.
Nuremberg, first baseman of the Ma
tional Turner's, looks like a conner. He
is there with the willow forty ways.
Tommy Washington, who performed
at short for the Newark Colored Giants
Sunday, was formerly with the Phila-
delphia Giants, in the capacity of a
catcher.
The Woodland Juniors are a sturdy
lot of youngsters that play the game
for all it's worth.
