FOOTBALL AND HURLING.
Referees Decision Cause Kerry-Lim
 erick Games to End in Draw.

New York, Aug 3.-Before crowd of 12,000 enthusiastic lovers of Gaelic football and other sports, the Clanna-Gael held it's annual field day at Celtic park yesterday. The pro gramme consisted of hurling match and two football games.
 In the hurling contest the team representing the Emmets won with total of IT goals. The losers were the Aliens and Larkins players, who scored goals.
 The football game of the day was between Kerry and Limerick, and it ended in draw. The score stood goals to 4 toward the end of the sec ond half, when William Horn of the Limericks protested against one of the referees rulings. Furthermore, he refused to abide by the ruling and the referee then declared the match draw. The star of the match was Tagney of Kerry, who scored all four goals for his team. Hanley of Limer- ick scored three goals for his team.
 The days sport wound up with a football game between the Irish Vol unteers of New York and the Irish Volunteers of Brooklyn. The latter were soundly drubbed by the sons of Erin residing in Manhattan and the Bronx, the score being 12 goals to 0.

DAN DWELL IS FINED.
Rorty Also Gets Call for His Pug
 nacious Tactics.

Bristol, Aug 3.-As a result of his mixup with Umpire Hugh Rorty dur ing the Springheld-Ha game at Springfield, Saturday, Manager Dan O'Neil of the Ponies has been sus- pended for ten days and he will have to fork over fine of $50 before he will be eligible to direct his team on | the field again. Such was the pun ishment meted out to the Pony own CT yesterday by w. J. Tracy, presi- dent of the Connecticut league, fol- lowing talk with Manager O'Neil over the long distance telephone, in which the Pony leader manfully ac- knowledged his part in the regretta- ble affair. President Tracy had in tended to await report from Um- pire. Rorty on the fracas, but inas- much as no denial was made by Man ager O'Neil he passed sentence at once.
 Some days ago, following the trou- l ble between Captain Harry O'Hagan l of the Waterbury club and Umpire Wilkinson at Hartford, in which the 1 player was charged with attempting to spike the indicator holder, Presi- | dent Tracy announced that any player. or manager who assaulted an | umpire would be fined $50 and sus- | pended for ten days, and Manager O'Neil was the first victim of this rule. While Manager O'Neil admit ted that he was perhaps a trifle too hasty in his attack on the umpire, he said that the ump really invited the trouble, coming to the Springfield | bench for an old ball when his place l was behind the home plate, from where he could have demanded the ball and if his orders were not con- piled with Manager O'Neil could then | be ordered from the grounds and if he refused to go the game could be | forfeited. <.
 MT Tracy regretted the incident and was vigorous in his disapproval of all such tactics. He said such scenes hurt the game and the league and that he would not tolerate them, nc matter what manager or player was guilty At the same time," said MT Tracy, q don't like Rorty's atti- tude in conducting games. He is a good official, the best in the league, in my judgment, but he is too fiery, too aggressive and almost always
 provokes the slugging matches. in which he seems to figure so frequent ly. Rorty goes round with chip on his shoulder all the time. He needs to use more judgment in handling players and managers. and shall tell him so when I have the chance" Mir Tracy did not, give out the date that MT O'Neils- suspension would start, but it probably will be- gin in day or two. II want to set tie this matter concerning Saturday doings at once" said Mir Tracy, 'and Manager O'Neil will be notified to- day of his fine and suspension"

THE MAN KILLING CAMEL.
Turks Consideration For the
 Brute's Future Owner.

There had come with us from Hebron a Turkish soldier riding young camel whose virtues he boasted and indeed exhibited-the clean limbs, the stride and the docillty of the beast. It seeln- ed a worthy camel-a camel of excel lent hulnor and of disguished promise and it was much coveted by the way. At night. as the custom is. the man was used to sleeping close to his beast. the winds being chill, but now at Ra- fieh, while the mules were unloading and the cook was coaxing his fire. he tethered the camel. flung his saddle on the sand and went or to the mud bar racks to hobnob with the Egyptian frontier guard. l was presently alarmed by the cooks outcry and rising excitement in camp. The docile camel was viciously trampling his mas ter's saddle. stupidly believing that he was engaged in his masters murder a savage and dreadful attack, rearing and heavy plunge.
 What" calculated the Turk when he was informed of this. Have cher ished man killer?'
 The camel was heartily beaten and reduced to his knees. whereupon bis doubled fore leg was tied so that he could rise but with difficulty, and we withdrew to observe his behavior. for his master was not yet convinced. Rise he did, a persistent. silent effort, and cautiously approached the saddle, which he attacked as savagely as before. but now with one hoof.
 "I have had a narrow escape" said the Turk. My camel would have killed me tonight. By God and Mo hammed, the prophet of Cod. he swore. T will sell the beast in the bazaar at Beersheba."

A GERMAN SATIRE.
The Forgotten Life and the sao Fate
 of the Herring,

of the Herring.
 The experiments of men of science sometimes furnish amusement to those who are not particularly interested in the slow. minute and apparently in- significant investigations by means of which important physical facts are learned. It Is interesting to know that if we cut off the tails of forty sue cessive generations of mice at their birth not one mouse, even in the fourth generation, will be born without tail. But when the man of science was en- gagged in cutting off the baby mice's tails all the world laughed at him. The slow experiments to test the pos sibility that by degrees an animal may change its habitat-a land animal talk ing to water, and so on-were thus amusingly satirized in Germany:
 Some time ago Herr Professor Schlit- ger, the eminent biologist who is mak- ing experiments relative to the changes of habitat made by animals, captured live herring. He took the fish home and kept it in large vat of salt wa ter. Every morning the professor dip ped out of this vat half teaspoonful of salt water and replaced 1t with ar equal amount of fresh water
 The herring survived and passed his days apparently in the best of spirits. In the course of time the water in the tank was rendered completely fresh. Not a grain of salt was left in it. And still the herring remained cheerful and In good health. Next the herr pro- lessor began to deprive the fish, little by little, of the fresh water element in which he lived. In this also he was successful, and after time the herring gamboled around in perfectly dry tank. .
 The herr professor next put the fish in a birdcage. and the intelligent crea- ture continued to thrive But one day the herr professor noticed that some thing seemed to be the matter with his pet.
 He had forgotten to give it anything to drink.
 Thereupon he put a dish of water in the cage.
 The next morning. when the herr professor came to look at his fish, melancholy sight met his gaze. The herring had fallen head first into the dish of water and had been drowned Harper's Weekly.

The reason w. L. Douglas S3.50 shoes are worn by more men in all walks of life than any other make is be- cause l give the wearer the benefit of the most complete organization of skilled shoe makers in this country, who receive the highest wages paid in the shoe industry and whose workmanship cannot be excelled.
 The selection of the leath- CTS and other materials for each part of the shoe and every detail of the making is looked after by specially trained experts in every de- partment.
