Trouble Is One Of Long Stand

GOVERNOR DENEEN UPHELD
BLACKS DESERT RESIDENCES
AND FLEE FROM THE CITY FOR
THEIR LlvEs--ANoTHER CLASH
EXPECTED WHEN euARDsMEN
ARE CALLED HOME.

Springfield, Ill, Aug 1s.-An attack
upon the pickets by $50 negroes from
the cornfelds on the outskirts of the
city, near the state arsenal. kept the
militia busy this morning. Firing up
on the sentries and their answering
shots occurred less than two blocks
from the headquarters of General e. c.
Young at the county Jail
No one was injured in the affray,
but the flying bullets from the militia
caused CONSERVATION in the district.
The trouble followed an attempt to
set fire to a factory building on Eighth
street, between Jefferson and Madison.
What will happen when the national
guardsmen leave? This Is the ques-
tion of paramount Importance In the
minds OF local citizens. It Is gener-
ally agreed that so long as Governor
Deneen wields the mailed fist trouble
OF a serious nature is not probable.
The streets are too thoroughly pa
trolled and the danger points too well
guarded But 1t is obvious that the
nnilitiamen cannot stay here all sum-
mer, and there is belief that the de-
parture of the khaki clad force will see
q renewal OF violence against negroes.
The feeling against the .colored cit
izens is one of years standing. The
present riots, according to old citi-
xeng, ia the result of years Of racial
antagonlsrn The so@ called black
helt,' has for years been an eye sore
to the better class of people. And each
year has seen an augmentation OF the

Speech Made by
DR.. vi. w. Stryker
A GOOD REPUBLICAN TALK
DEMOCRATS AND OTHERS JOIN
IN MAKING THE DAY ONE LONG
TO BE REMEMBERED - LONG
PARADE IS ONE OF THE MANY
FEATURES.

Utica. N. T., Aug. 1s.--In one OF tfe
briefest speeches ever delivered by a
candidate for so high an office, James
Sherman. at noon today, accepted the
nomination of the republican party
for the vice presidency. He spoke from
a hag-decked stand reared in front
of his home in Genesee street and was
surrounded. by party leaders from diff
ferenr sections. of the country and by
an enthusiastic crowd of friends and
fellow townsmen.
The nomination was rendered by a
committee appointed at the Chicago
convention in June, Senator Julius c.
Burrows of Michigan being chairman.
There were brief addresses also by
Secretary Root and President M. w.
Stryker of Hamilton college from
which Mr.. Sherman was graduated
and by Mayor Thomas Wheeler Of
Utica and Chas. S. Symonds, chair
man of the local reception committee.
Mr.. Sherman in his address of ac-
ceptance, followed the example OF
Taft In pledging allegiance TO any
administration with which he NAV
have to do and to ths policies of Pres
ident Roosevelt. He declared there
was no issue as to whether or nor
the people shall rule" Surely the
people shall rule said Mr.. sherman.
and surely the people do rule" Cast
ing thus aside the campaign slogan
raised by MIR. Bryan the republican
vice presidential nominee asserted
that the Issue Of the campaign really
is shall the administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt be approved?"
Sherman appeared in the best
health.
The ceremonies at the Sherman
home were preceded by band concerts
in down town squares, a parade Of
the city fire department and a vice
presidential salute of nineteen guns
and parade of the gaily uniformed
republican club.
Genesee street from the railroad
tracks to the Sherman home ana be-
yond was lined with thousands Of
people.

tion speech. His remarks were as

GOTCH AND "HACK" PAVING
WAY FOR ANOTHER MATCH
Iowan Answers Charges Made Against Him by
Russian Lion and Pair Have Long distance
Bout, Which Will No Doubt End
in Men Meeting Again.

l simply could not have Won the match
under any circumstances"
Answering these charges today Frank
Gotch said:
The Illionis Athletic Club furnished
all my rubbing ointments, and not a
drop of it was sticky or greasy. L re-
ceived only the usual r~ub-downs that
boxers and other athletes get after vio-
lent exercise. l will make affidavit to
the fact that all during Friday, the day
of the match, 1 did not have my street
clothes off from early morning until
after getting to the ARENA, and did not
have a rundown that day at all. My
skin vas dry and free from oil of any
sort, and Hackenschmidt makes an
absurd misstatement when he says
otherwise. Had Hackenschmidt thought
l was oiled he should have appealed to
the referee at any stage of the contest
to settle it. My wrists were not oiled.
[ purposely trained lightly, so as to
perspire much early in the bout. and
that made me slippery"
Referee Ed Smith said today that
Hackenschmidt at no time made any
declaration that oil was used. He did
complain of ~gouging, and Gotch soon
stopped this of his own accord after
the crowd began to hiss.

CHICAGO, April Frank Gotch, the
wrestler, is indignant at the charges
cabled to the london Daily Mail by
George Hackenschmidt. The complaints
made by the Russian Lion came as a
complete surprise to local sportsmen, as
Hackenschmidt Friday night. after his
defeat, was profuse in his acknowledge
ments of his opponents ability and fair
ness. Here is what he said fifteen min
utes after his defeat:
81 have no complaint to make. Gotch
has been so thoroughly massaged for a
week before the match that when his
pores were open some oily substance
came out and completely baffied my at
ten1pts to get hold of him. Still it was
fair, as / might have done the same
thing. | nave no complaint to make"
Therefore, the following from Hack
enschmidt's statement cabled to Lon
don came as a surprise:
VI complained bitterly to the referee
about the grease on Gotch before the
bout started, but he paid no heed to me
and even laughed at my remarks. The
spectators jeered and hooted me n I
knew L would have been mobbed had I
got the American anywhere near a fall.

AND
YANN|GANS PLAY
EXCITING GAME
Captain Jimmy Mullen, Reen-
forced by Outsiders, Did Some
Clever PiIfering Yesterday.
LENNON.
BY SAM MURPHY.

There was more fun at Wieden-
mayors Park yesterday afternoon
when the "Yannigans" and the 'Regu-
lars" played than was ever dished out
at one of the big p. It's c%ircuses. Il was
an ideal day for baseball and the Tigers
simply went after their exercise as if
they longed for the cal kind of work.
Regulars VS.. YanDigans.
Jimmie Mullen essayed to captain the
Regulars, while AL Pardee looked after
the youngsters, and the big good
natured boilermaker would have re-
corded a victory had it not been for
the stealing propensities of Captain
Mullen. Five innings were played, and
the score resulted the same as Sun
days, a tie. Had not Captain Mullen
called on the field squad of laborers his
side would have been beaten. The
"Yannigans" had five runs scored and
the Regulars were one shy when they
went to the bat for the last inning.
Mullen got to first and then shot to
second, while no one was looking. How
he got there is still a mystery; anyhow
he started for home and when within
ten feet of the plate he was nabbed.
Stanage had the ball i'm waiting, but
foxy Jim knocked it from his hand and
the umpire didn't see it. Then Jim
mics side got behind him and actually
carried hin to the plate, reinforced by
the g%round6eeper and his helpers.
Players Worked Hard.
Tho men worked at all sorts of stunts
until they were wet with sweat. There
was no let up from the time the men
started and at the finish of the days
exercise it was a sore lot of PLAYERS
That wendell their way towards the
Continental Hotel, where the men are
stopping.
Al Pardee played third bag, and his
antics were enough to keep the other
players in good humor while they were
being worked by their respective zap
tains. Yesterdays workout is really the
best that the men have had since COM
ing together, and they are at it again
today. a number of fans called at the
grounds. and, to their surprise, found
the gates locked, and, of course, they
put up a holler, and want to know to-
day why they can't get in and watch
the players work out.
No doubt Manager Stallings has his
own ideas about working his team, and
his decision in this matter ought to be
accepted by the fans, for he ought 20
know whether or not the presence of
outsiders during preliminary work
would be beneficial to the players.

TIGERS GET MANY PLUMS
IN 1908 PLAYING DATES
Newark Not Cut Out Of Its Good DayS--MagnateS

Making Few Changes Buffalo Only
Club Not Represented at Meeting.
BY KIDDO.

Save for the presence of a bunch Of
newspaper men in the corridors of the
Hotel Victoria, New York, yesterday,
none of the usual loungers around that
hosiery would have thought that any
thing put of the ordinary was going on
there. Yet the Eastern League mag
mates were holding a lively session in
room 209 from IL o'clock in the morn
ing until 4 in the afternoon. When the
session broke up the various represent
atives made a dash for their homes,
and each manager seemed well pleased
with the schedule as adopted.
The schedule as published in THE
EVENING STAR yesterday will hold,
with the exception of a few changes.
Manager Stallings was kindly treated
by the league directors. for the Tigers
were always considered when it am
to handing out any of the nice bits in
the schedule.
The opening day will bring the Bisons
to this city on April %, and the fans
will admit hat no stronger club in
the way Of an attraction could be
selected. Tho Bisons were formerly the
property of Manager Stallings. and it
will be his aim to have the Tigers draw
first blood in the way of victory when

they clash here for the first time. AS
before, the Tigers will be at home
every Sunday during the season, and
only II Sunday remains open, and
doubtless this will be filled in with
some postponed game before the season
of 1908 is too far advanced.
In the way of holiday dates the
Tigers come in again for their plums,
and they can be justly STYLED the
Candy Kids" Jersey City will be here
on the afternoon of Decoration Day,
while the Tigers will be over on Joe
Beams grounds in the morning. On tho
Fourth of July morning the Jersey City
team will come here and a return visit
will be made in the afternoon by the
Tigers. These meetings on holidays
mean much to the box Office end of the
game. The Tigers come in again for
out-of-town} holidays. that is days
which are designated in other States as
specials. For instance Victoria Day in
Canada is a great time and the Tigers
will be at Montcreal on that occasion.
