NEW YORK, May 7.-Melvin w:

probably will not represent this country
in the Olympic games in London this
summer. Although the try-outs are
less than a month off, Sheppard has not
begun training, and according to. the
latest report he will not try for the
team.
For his failure to report to Trainer
Hjertberg, at Celtic Park, Sheppard
gives two reasons. One is chat his
present position does not give him sufIi-
cient time and the other that it would
be useless for him to make the team
because 1t is probable that he could not
accompany the team If he won his event
in the try-outs. He recently passed the
Civil Service examinations placing him
on the eligible list for policeman
Placing Sheppard's name on The list

ton. If he is appointed as lone of the

that he cannot leave the city, and if

ment will be made while he is away,

ton he has so long sought.

Kentucky Judge Declares That

FRANKFORT, KY, May 1.-THE
Court Of Appeals refused to dissolve
the restraining order issued by Judge
Samuel b. Kirby, of the jefferson Cir
cult Court, and said that betting was
permissible under the statutes when
paris-mutuels or auction pooling was
used during the races run. at the track.
The decision of the court was de-
livered by Judge Hobson, and upholds
the constitutionality of the statute
which permits paris-mutuels and
auction pools to be sold on a race track
during a race meeting. This practically
settles the cas- in favor of the race

DAN KELLY DOES
10 SECONDS FLAT.

Dan Kelly, the worlds champion
sprinter, is back to form. Word reached
here today that the Western boy in
practise ran the 100 in 10 seconds, and
made a leap of "a feet in the broad
jump.
For the short time that Kelly has
been under the care of NTrainer Mike
Murphy he has made wonderful strides
towards the goal in both the sprints
and broad jump, and the veteran
trainer is not a bit backward in saying
that when the proper time comes the
Oregon boy will uphold his reputation
as the worlds champion.
AS a matter of fact. Kelly has been
by no means showing his heralded form
in either the sprints or broad jump, but
if there is anything in the boy, Murphy
will bring it out.
The news that Kelly is rounding into
shape has been received with delight by
his followers in this city. There have
beer not a few who thought the boy
was not all he was touted to be.

CUBS KICK OVER
PIRATES RAISING
TH|RDBASE LINE
Chicago Club Makes Protest and
O'Day Orders the Ground
Leveled.

PITTSBURG. May 7.-Making the
claim that the Pittsburg Club had
raised its third-base line Illegally and
to the detriment of visiting hitters, the
Chicago team registered a vicious kick
during and after the game yesterday.
That the third base line had been
raised is an acknowledged fact, as Um-
pire O'Day, after having his attention
called to it, made a careful examina-
ton and formally ordered the Pittsburg
Club to fix its infield to conform with
the rules of the National League, else
he would not allow the game today 20
| be played, but would forfeit to Chicago.
The raising of the line was SO palpable
that hunts along the third-base line
could hardly remain on the diamond,
and several times the Chicago players
were worsted by this. The Pittsburg
Club admits hat the third-base line is
higher, but says this was done for
Draining.
After the game yesterday Captain
Clarke was taken by Umpire O'Day
along the third-base line, and it vas
pointed out to him that National
League rules called for a level diamond.
O'Day ordered 1t fixed before today's
game. Clarke made an ugly remark
and said he would not fix it, and O'Day
then went hunting the club owners, but
the only one he could find was Secretary
Locke.
Twill you fix the diamond to conform
with National League rules or must I
report to President Pulliam by wire? %
said O'Day.
1--WE will fix the diamond" said
Locke.

lie Can Juggle 7OO-POund Pieces
On the End of His
Chin. ..s&
BY KIDno

Well, I had the treat of nv career
yesterday afternoon over In Proctor,s
playhouse, when 1 was asked to drop
In and have a chat with that German
athlete, Paul Conchas, who juggles
everything on his chin except the Pru-
Dental building, and he can't get a
loan of that or else he might. Conchas
does feats that place him in the front
rank of strong men. He is the best
That has been here in many a day, and
the bad thing about it he is going back
to his fatherland next week.. and will
not be seen here again for some time.
Conchas is purely a German when it
comes to a question of nationality, but
when you talk of strength he is a
veritable Samson. Some tricks that
he does could be performed by a husky
blacksmith, but the major number of
them have never been attempted in any
playhouse in this city.
For insance. he takes a regulation
army siege gun-some call it a field
gun-but it is like the one that stands
in Military Park opposite the market,
and balances this on his chin. 1t only
weighs 700 pounds, and if you nave
any doubt as to the correctness of this
statement you can weigh it. He allows
a stage hand to go up in the flies on
the stage and drop cannon balls weigh
ing from thirty to forty pounds each
towards the fioor on the stage, and
Paul gets under them n catches them
on his back. 1t is a great thing to look
at, but not so pleasant to do.
AS Conchas said to me. If l deviated
an inch either way from the course of
one of these balls I would be killed."
and he aid 1t In the same way as he
does when he asks you to have a glass
of beer. / got him to talk the best he
car for he is purely German in his
talk, and he sail some interesting
things about himself.
l agreed with him in everything ex-
cept when he said that he formerly be-
longed to the best standing army in
the world, and he meant the German
army. / had to tell him that our army
could whip his army as easy as he
balanced the field piece.
He is 30, and ever since a boy has
been a follower of the gymnasium. He
went into the Kaiser's army, and there
continued to develop his strength. 1t is
not so much in his strength that he is
a wonder, but his dexterity at doing
things. He is always in condition, and
trains as ii he were going to lose
money if not in the best of condition.
Running and wrestling are his two
favorites in his training stunts. He
takes a couple of glasses of beer every
day and says that beer is not injurious
if used m~ethodically.
Conchas is six feet tall and is a per-
feet piece of physical construction. He
is a good sample of a man who lives
a clean life. and he says that he ex-
poets to follow up his present business
for ten more years, when he will ave
enough to live like a kaiser or a king
the rest of his life. He has made three
tours of the world, has met the King
of Spain, the King of England, is a
close friend of the Kaiser. and has met
Teddy Roosevelt, and what else does
any man want in this world?

The chief shook his head.
From what the good gossip, our
host, told me-" he said, Il had fancied
some members of the family would
have appeared driving or walking
abroad, but so far they have escaped
my notice.
Just So" returned Radcliffe. Were
they hermits they could not remain in
more rigid seclusion. Now, my story
is as follows, NJ. Debrosses: l became
acquainted with the Raymonds in
London about two months ago. Mrs.
Raymond was formerly the second
wife of merchant named Thurber
who had one child, girl named Alice.
when they were married. Thurber

demise the widow welded this man.

ried about a year when l first met
them and fell in love with their STEP
daughter. My family is one of the
oldest and best in New York and my
father is wealthy man, so that as
far as birth and money went l con-
sidered myself an eligible sutton for
Alice's hand. The girl returned my af-
lection, but her step-parents refused
to sanction our engagement
According to the terms of her IA
theirs will, she received a handsome
legacy which was to remain under the
control of her step-mother until Alice
attained her majority or was mar
ried There was a certain Peter May
nard, a big red-headed dissipated
brute, and cousin of Henry Raymond,
who lived with them and apparently
possessed no other means of support
than that afforded him by his rela-
tives. This was the animal selected
by Alice's step-parents for her future
husband"

The American caught the chiefs
hand in his sinewy grip.
I'll do as you say, M. Debrosses,"
he said. with a friend to aid me I

BY degrees the newly allied forces
obtained some fresh information re-
garding the inmates Of the chateau.
There is some new deviltry hatch
ing" said the American, passionately,
as soon as he found himself alone
with the chief. 1T distracts me to
think that l must sit here idle. while
heaven only knows what peril may
threaten that unfortunate girl"
"A prize worth having is worth
suffering for" observed the chief,
coolly. Take courage. NJ. Radcliffe,

its apparently great age was toler-

He had reached the conclusion that

inmates was responsible for the Amer

occasions when strolling through the

also noted that the young soldier sell

M. Claude. The chief was therefore not
greatly surprised when the young fell

in earnest tones:
