W. JOPLIN'S ENTRIES
REFUSED AT WINDSOR.

DETROIT, July 17.-After Jersey
Lady won the third race yesterday aft
ernoon, the stewards started an investi-
cation II ordered that the entries of
her owner. Wayne Joplin. be refused in
the future. The officials based their
ruling on the Inconsistent running OF
the mare.
Joplin is well known in turf c~ircless
having raced on practically every course
in the country. He came from New
York with Jersey Lady and several
other horses. The mare formerly be-
longed TO A. F. Mathews, who raced
her at Montreal.
Arrowshaft, the winner of the first
race. hung up a new track record of

There wasn't money enough in the
crowd to tempt the boys going the
forty" five rounds, so ii was decided to
go twenty. George Bothner. the wres-
tier, was Interested in the affair and
acted as timekeeper. Billy Glover, of
Elizabeth, who chaperoned the party,
was referee, and Hughey Boyle and
George Carroll acted as seconds for the
lighters.
The ring was pitched in a quiet spot
on the shores of the bay and there the
fighters pummeled each other until the
twentieth round, when darkness made
ii impossible for the boys to continue.
In the early rounds of the battle
Bender had a small margin of o lead,
but as it grew in rounds Smith came
stronger and at the end of the battle
both boys stood on an equal.
Like all such affairs the men behind
1t lost on the venture and If the fight
ers got any kind of n purse there was
certainly nothing left for the pro-
moters.
The majority of the spectators did
not come home on the boats. but
walked to a place called Morgan sta
ton and there boarded a train.
Today the officials of South Amboy
the nearest municipality to the scene
OF the battle, are up in arms because
outsiders dared to invade. the ouiet

Edward P. Duffy's Comment on
Local Amateurs and Semi
Pros.
BY EDWARD P. DuEEY.

The efforts of Charles Price, the mar
who originated the Clifton A. c., to re
organize the team, are meeting with
success. Next Sunday morning at
Morris Park the Franklin A. A, man
aged by William Hagenbruck, who
succeeded Price In the management of
the Cliftons until they disbanded, will
play he Cations. Harry Chapelle will
pitch for the Cliftons and probably
Uslar for the Franklins. All the old
Clifton boys win be in the lineup.
Percy Reeves, the Montclair A. l,
pitcher, has made the reputation this
year of being the best semi profess
slonal twirler hereabouts. His speed
is great. He loses none of it with his
curves-a rare thing with pitchers of
his class.

has his dinky curve working he Is a
good one. Witness the game he pitched
against the Ironsldes last Sunday. The

MCCARTHY SLATED
To PITCH FOR
BOSTON TODAY
If He Can Beat the Pirates and
the Giants Win
Well!

The Giants are making a great fight
for the lead in the National League.
and the eyes OF the baseball world are
now focused on Chicago and Pitts
burg. Maybe the great fight today will
result in Little Mac the former New
ark pitcher, being responsible for the
Giants evening up matters for the lead
in the old league.
BY a little round about doping Nc
Carthy may put the Pirates down q
few pegs. Mac is due to pitch for the
Doves today against the Pirates. None
of the Boston pitchers have been able
to stop the Smoketown bunch, so Nc
Carthy, the Cincinnati-Pirate c~astoff,
now with the Boston bunch, will toe
the slab today, at least that Is the
dope. Mccarthy has not lost a game
for the Doves since he Joined them,
having won all four he has pitched.
While Mccarthy is hurting at Pitts
burg, Christy Mathewson viii be sent
in to take another shot at the Cubs,
who seem to be on the run, after the
two singing defeats Of the Giants,
which has pushed them down the a
der. Now. if M~athewson wins his game
and Mccarthy ands his, good old New
York fans will sit up and take notice.
The fighting spirit of the Giants has
made them favorites for the flag, and
McGraw openly states that he has the
Cubs goat" and that he will take all
four.
second in point of interest to the
fight for the lead is the efforts of Billy
Murray's Quakers to get back into the
first division. Murray's boys made a
show of the Pirates, then walloped the
Cubs and now they are walking away
from the Cardinals. If the Phillies had
not hit that losing streak they, too,
MOuld have been factors for the lead.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
caused by the infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever zine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
